Chapter 566 is that famous paintings will always be stolen (ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation)
Three o'clock in the afternoon, the company conference room.
Ye Tian's voice kept coming, and video materials were playing on the white projection screen, which was naturally a large number of stolen antique artworks hidden under the old North Church.
In addition to the seven in the morning, there were more than two dozen new faces in the conference room at this time.
Among them are not only the directors or deputy directors of major museums, but also several famous collectors, as well as top art dealers, all of whom are well-known names in the field of antique art collection.
In addition, representatives of several well-known art insurance companies such as AXA and Chubb have also been present!
There is also Joey, the head of the F.B.I.'s art crime unit, and an FBI deputy director from Washington.
The rest of the people are Ye Tian, David and his two assistants, Jason and Matisse.
During the video playback, the discussion in the conference room never stopped, and it continued to reach everyone's ears.
"Oh my God, these art thieves are crazy enough to loot so many top-notch antique artworks, it's incredible!"
"According to Julian's old guy, this is only part of the story, and there are a lot of stolen antique artworks in the hands of those art thieves, all of whom are top-notch!
Those bastards are not only stealing from major museums in the United States, they have footprints all over the world, and they are the top art crime syndicate in the world today!
I'm sure that once these bastards are caught, they will cause a sensation in the whole world, especially in the field of antique art collection, and a huge tsunami is inevitable!"
"These art thieves are crazy, but Steven, this bastard is even more hateful! This bastard actually wants to swallow fifty percent of the stolen top antique artworks, and he is not afraid of choking to death!"
Speaking of this, many people turned their heads to look at Ye Tian, everyone's faces were very ugly, and they gritted their teeth with hatred!
Ye Tian, who was the party concerned, smiled at this time, chatting with David sitting next to him in a low voice, ignoring everyone's hateful gaze at all.
Ye Tian and they are all very excited, success is close at hand!
However, there were even happier people at the scene, and that was Joey and the deputy director of the FBI's General Bureau.
These two were already excited and almost crazy at this time, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have already raised their arms and celebrated!
They never imagined that they would be able to see so many heavyweight museum directors and famous collectors, as well as top art dealers!
The scale of the international art crime syndicate in Boston, and the sheer number of top-quality antiques stolen, were completely beyond their imagination!
What kind of situation would it be if this top art crime syndicate were destroyed in their own hands, and it would be crazy to think about it!
Several senior executives of art insurance companies are also very excited, they originally thought that the large amount of compensation that had been lost is now expected to be recovered, can they not be happy?
But the thought of having to pay a big bounty and be ransacked by Steven's bastard frantically made them a little happier!
What a fortune that is! Who would want it?
More than ten minutes passed quickly, and all the video materials related to everyone present had been played.
Jason put away his laptop and put it in front of Ye Tian.
Negotiations resume! It's time for a hand-to-hand fight!
Someone can't wait to speak out, it's the director of New York's New Gallery, and it's an old friend!
"Steven, thank you so much for finding the whereabouts of these stolen antique artworks, it's a blessing for all of us, and for those who have stolen antique artworks.
But thank you for it, we will never agree to your terms, you want to get 50% of the stolen antique art, this is too much appetite?
"That's right! That's impossible! You know, every stolen top antique artwork has a high reward, that's already a very huge wealth, you can't be too greedy!"
The director of the Art Institute of Chicago chimed in, his face rather ugly.
I want to get cheap from my buddy, but there is no door!
No one can get the exact news without paying the price of satisfying their buddies, let alone finding the stolen top antique artworks.
Ye Tian smiled softly and immediately launched a counterattack.
"Gentlemen, take a long-term view, don't just stare at the stolen antiques in front of you, as far as I know, there are not a few top-notch antiques flowing out of the hands of those art thieves!
After a careful search, I found a record of the sale of stolen goods in that warehouse, which recorded all the stolen top antique artworks that had flowed out of the hands of those bastards in the past few decades, very detailed!
As a rough count, the list of stolen antiques that have been sold far exceeds the number of stolen antiques currently in warehouses, and is even more than twice as much."
Before the words fell, the conference room exploded immediately
"Oh my God! There's a record of the sale of stolen goods, that's great!"
The first to jump up and cheer were the FBI's Joey and the deputy director, who were instantly excited to the point of madness.
If this record of the sale of stolen goods does exist, they know better than anyone what it means.
That means countless thefts of top antique art, a staggering amount of wealth, and a lot of famous collectors who are about to be discredited!
"Does this mean that we can recover the same batch of stolen antique art, or even antique artwork that was stolen at other times, if so, it would be perfect!"
The director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art jumped straight from his seat, cheering in oblivion.
In 1999, their museum was stolen and five of the top antique works of art were stolen, but this time he only saw two on video footage, and the other three were nowhere to be found.
At this time, he suddenly heard that there was a list of stolen goods, recording all the records of the sale of stolen goods by those art thieves, how could he not be ecstatic?
The reaction of the rest of the room was almost identical, everyone with red faces, eyes lit up, and cheers with excitement!
That's the right reaction, that's what dude wants to see the most!
Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet and control their emotions.
The conference room quickly fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Tian with anticipation, expecting to hear more shocking content.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued with a smile:
"There is a saying in the collecting world that 'famous paintings will always be stolen', and I believe that museums and collectors will not only steal antique artworks from the video.
As long as you get this record of selling stolen goods, you can recover a large number of stolen antique artworks according to the map, and then everyone's harvest will not only be seen on the video, but definitely more!
I don't covet the stolen antiques on the sale list, you just have to pay the bounty, and the target of my share is only the goods that are in the warehouse.
In this way, the probability of your recovery of stolen antiques will be greatly increased, probably as high as seventy or eighty percent, or even higher, and my offer is too much in comparison?"
Hearing this, some people can't help but start thinking about it secretly.
From this point of view, the conditions offered by Steven's bastard are not unacceptable, and on the whole, the share ratio has indeed been reduced a lot.
Especially those museum directors who have a lot of stolen antique artworks and haven't seen a few on the video, they are already inclined to agree to Ye Tian's conditions!
There are also several insurance company executives, in their opinion, as long as this list of stolen goods is true, then it is completely possible to agree to Steven's bastard's conditions.
This is a price that the company can bear, and the loss is not necessarily borne by the insurance company, and the art thieves and unscrupulous collectors who collect the stolen goods should bear this cost the most!
Of course, there are some doubts in everyone's eyes.
Is there really such a list of stolen goods? Don't make it up by this bastard Steven, just to add weight to the lion's mouth!
"Perhaps you think that what I say is unsubstantiated and may not be credible, then I will provide strong evidence, the most recent record of the sale of stolen goods on the list is the famous British painter Francis Bacon's "George Dyer".
If I'm not mistaken, the unscrupulous collectors who bought the famous painting, and the painting itself, have fallen into the hands of the FBI's Art Crime Unit, am I right?
After speaking, Ye Tian turned his head to look at Joey, his eyes full of confidence.
Fuck bastard! Turns out you know everything!
Joey cursed to himself, then nodded in the affirmative.
"Yes, we did catch the unscrupulous collector in Boston, and we seized Francis Bacon's famous painting, George Dale, which had been stolen in London a few years ago.
We conducted an in-depth and detailed investigation along this trail, but unfortunately, these art thieves were so well-organized and clever that they were hidden so deep that we could not find any trace of them.
We can't reveal the identity of the unscrupulous collector who took the stolen goods, but we can tell you about the painting by Francis Bacon.
The famous painting was camouflaged with special paints, and there was no trace of the original work visible from the outside, and special glasses had to be used to see the famous paintings hidden under the special paints.
Since Steven knew about the existence of this famous painting, it means that he did see the record of the sale of stolen goods, and the credibility of what he said is very high, and the record of the sale of stolen goods should indeed exist!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately looked at Ye Tian, his eyes were full of anticipation, looking forward to seeing the very tempting list of stolen goods immediately.
But Ye Tian didn't look at him at all, but stared at the museum owners and famous collectors who were already dancing with excitement.
"Steven, our museum accepts your offer in principle, you can get one of the two stolen artworks that appear on the video!
But this matter still has to go through the procedure, the museum does not belong to me after all, we have to have a meeting to study it, and we will give you an answer later, it should be a positive answer!"
The Philadelphia Museum of Art was the first to change ground and raise the white flag.
"Our museum is the same, we can accept your conditions, as long as the case is solved, the three Chinese ink landscapes will belong to you!
Isaac of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, said loudly, a look of pain on his face.
He couldn't disagree, because they were the most affected museums by the art thieves.
In the past 20 years, there has been more than one theft in their museum, and the top artworks stolen are by no means just the six pieces of video materials, but much more.
Judging from the current signs, these thefts are likely to be committed by this group of art thieves in Boston, who let them get closer, this is the so-called near the water building first month!
As soon as Isaac's words fell, the senior management of AXA Art Insurance Company spoke up!
"Steven, our insurance company accepts your conditions in principle, but we still have to go through the procedure! It shouldn't be difficult to pass!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately clenched his fists and secretly cheered.
"That's it! Get rich!"
Not only was he secretly celebrating, but David and his assistants, as well as Jason and Matisse, everyone had a look of ecstasy in their eyes.
