Chapter 800 Running the train with a mouth full of mouths
"Good morning, Mr. Samuel, Mr. Cameron, it's a pleasure to meet you, I don't know what you have to do with me?
At the same time, Ye Tian shook hands with these two scheming old guys one by one, and behaved very decently.
"Steven, you must be able to answer this question, otherwise we wouldn't have come to you, because you are the discoverer and the owner!"
Cameron was the first to speak, his expression very excited, even a little impatient.
"What is it? Tell me, I'll listen to you."
Ye Tian pretended to be curious and asked.
"Is the sculpture of Poseidon, the god of the sea, that you salvaged in the shipwreck of the Princess of Malaga the work of the Baroque sculptor Chenini? Have you personally identified it?"
Cameron asked excitedly, a little apprehensive in his eyes.
"That's right! It is indeed Chenini's sculpture, I personally appraised it! That statue is highly skilled in carving, and it is in perfect condition, it is a rare and top-quality antique work of art!"
Ye Tian gave a positive answer, there is no need to hide it, it is already on the live broadcast!
"Wow! That's great! Since you identified it yourself, you certainly didn't run! Chenini's small sculpture is so rare that there is no doubt that it is definitely a top-notch antique work of art!"
Cameron cheered directly, and he was so excited that he danced quickly!
At this moment, he seemed to forget that he was in the exhibition hall, not in his own home or office.
Hearing this cheer, everyone in the exhibition hall immediately looked over to this side, both tourists and staff, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
Some staff members were going to come over and remind them to keep the cheerers quiet.
However, when they saw who the three people standing here were, they immediately stopped, and they didn't look for fun.
For the eyes of the surrounding tourists, Cameron didn't see it, and now he only paid attention to Ye Tian, the Chenini sculpture that had only appeared on NBC live TV!
"Steven, can you transfer that Poseidon statue to the Metropolitan Museum? The offer must be satisfactory to you, we would love to include that sculpture in the museum!
Cameron said eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.
This was the purpose of his rush to this pavilion, which was exactly what Ye Tian expected.
However, he apparently overthought it.
"I'm sorry, Cameron, I can't give a definite answer to this question right now, as you know, our operation to salvage the treasure of the sunken ship this time is a commercial cooperation between two companies.
In other words, this Chenini sculpture is the property of the two companies, and I can't decide alone, even if I transfer this sculpture, I will have to wait until the salvage of the shipwreck's treasure is completely over!"
Ye Tianyi pushed 625 and politely rejected Cameron's request.
If you want that Chenini sculpture, no problem, get ready to spend a lot of dollars and go to the auction and fight someone else, there is no other way!
I want to get a cheap deal from my buddy, but I don't have any doors!
After dealing with Cameron, Ye Tian looked at Samuel again, with a bright smile on his face.
"Steven, while you were in the Caribbean, a Titian's masterpiece appeared in the Cayman Islands, the Venetian Landscape that had disappeared for 300 years.
Regrettably, after some fierce competition, the top artwork ended up in the hands of Pirna, the richest man in France, for a sky-high price of more than $500 million.
I would like to ask, did that famous Titian painting flow out of your hands? There are not many people who can come up with such an amazing work! This is very much like your handwriting, and the time is right!
"Venetian Landscape" has fallen into the hands of Pirna, don't think about it, I want to say that if there are similar top art works for sale in the future, don't forget about our metropolis!"
Samuel stated his purpose, his eyes full of regret.
The representative paintings of the Renaissance master Titian, for any museum, are the top works of art at the level of the treasure, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art is no exception!
It would be a great pity for any collector who loves Renaissance art to see such a long-lost piece of top art, let alone Samuel!
He is not only the head of the European Painting Department at the Metropolitan Museum, but also a leading expert on Renaissance art.
Sure enough, as my buddies expected, this old guy came here for Titian's painting!
Ye Tian complained secretly, a hint of smugness flashed in his eyes.
Although it was a private auction and was not open to the public, the appearance of a top-notch artwork like "View of Venice" and the record auction prices certainly made it impossible to hide the news.
As expected, the news of the appearance of that top-notch painting, as well as the record price at auction, has long been known throughout the world of antique art collecting!
As long as there is a heart, even the owner of that top-notch painting, most people should guess who it is.
Nine times out of ten, it's the bastard from New York who has been making trouble in the Caribbean lately, Steven.
Even if everyone knew it, Ye Tian didn't intend to admit it, and was ready to continue to pretend to be stupid.
You know, the auction money for the auction of that top famous painting is still lying on the Cayman Islands offshore bank account.
It is an overseas fund that remains outside the United States, and it may be of great use in the future!
"Wow! $500 million, it's an unprecedented sky-high price, it's crazy! He is worthy of being a master of Renaissance art, and he is worthy of being the sun among the stars!
I've heard of Titian's top painting, but it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see it! I don't know where you heard that this painting once belonged to me and was leaked out through my hands.
If there is such a top-notch artwork, how can I be willing to put it up for auction, and I will definitely collect it myself!
Compared to such a top-notch work of art, the dollar is nothing more than a pile of waste paper, nothing more than a string of numbers on a bank account number, and there is no comparison at all!
Don't believe it, it's definitely deliberately spread by some ill-intentioned guys, and I don't know what their purpose is.
Ye Tian swore solemnly, his head shook like a rattle, and he had an expression of bitterness and hatred that had been wronged.
Hearing this, Cameron and Samuel couldn't help but roll their eyes and curse in their hearts.
"You train-hungry bastard! Is there a saying true? You have a lot of trouble, as if someone had wronged you bastard! We're not stupid people to believe such nonsense!
With your greedy character, not to mention Titian's "View of Venice", even if Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" falls into your hands, it will be auctioned by you bastard and exchanged for dollars!
Returning dollars is just a pile of waste paper? It's so easy to say! If anyone dares to touch your waste paper, I guess you ruthless bastard will send people straight to hell!
It seems that God is really blind! How can all good things fall on you bastard, Titian's top famous painting, the treasure of the shipwreck of the Princess of Malaga, which one is not envied to death?"
After Ye Tian's gags and nonsense, it was obviously impossible to continue chatting this day.
Cameron and Samuel knew in their hearts that they would not gain anything if they continued to talk, but would make themselves angry, and the gains outweighed the losses, so it was better to leave early!
After making a decision, the two talked a few more nonsense words to Ye Tian, and then said goodbye and left.
As they left, the two old men walked quickly, as if there were ghosts chasing them.
When their figures disappeared completely, Ye Tian retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at the Degas painting in front of him.
After admiring it carefully, he secretly opened the perspective and began the great cause of plundering the aura! This was the main purpose of his visit to the Metropolitan Museum!
