Chapter 586 Quid pro quo (asking for subscriptions, asking for rewards)

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Poles came as promised, and they were the same ones they had seen before.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, and welcome to Intrepid Discovery, it's an honor to see you all again!"

With a bright smile on his face, Ye Tiandui greeted several Poles who followed Jason into the conference room, and behaved very enthusiastically, as if he was meeting an old friend!

"Good afternoon, Steven, your company is aptly named, brave and fearless!

Duke Torresky greeted him with a pun, and the smile on his face was very reluctant.

And he looked at Ye Tian's eyes, full of fear at this time, and vaguely a little afraid!

The rest of the Poles who had followed him were the same, all of them not looking good, and their smiles were all raw.

The bloody fight that shook the whole of New York the night before was all witnessed on TV!

Like everyone else, they were also stunned by the battle scene where bullets flew everywhere and corpses were strewn all over the place, and they also really saw the fierceness and ruthlessness of Ye Tian and Matisse.

At this point, each of them is very sure.

The guy with a big smile on his face in front of him is definitely a ruthless bastard with no taboos!

He can brazenly fight on Madison Avenue, one of the busiest streets in New York, and dare to kill his opponent in full view of everyone! What else does he dare not do? I'm afraid there are very few!

If it weren't enough to impress him, the bastard would 100% take Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man into his personal collection.

The protests of his own people, the pressure of media opinion, and even the pressure of the Polish government will not have the slightest effect on such a bastard.

The result of that may even be counterproductive, completely cutting off the possibility of getting back that famous painting!

As for the use of extraordinary means to rob openly and secretly, forget it!

This bastard and his gang of men in front of him are so fierce that unless an army is sent, the rest of the people rush up to deliver food, and there is absolutely no other possibility than death!

But this is New York, the heart of the United States, and it is simply not realistic to send a large number of armed men here, let alone do it here! How many people can be as crazy and unscrupulous as Steven?

In any case, you can't stiffen the relationship, and then you won't want to get that Raphael painting back!

After a few pleasantries, the Poles sat down separately, still sitting opposite each other!

Without a moment's hesitation, Duke Torresky went straight to the point as soon as he came up.

"Steven, how can we get that Raphael Portrait of a Young Man back? Tell me about your conditions, but don't talk about $500 million, that's impossible!

We are just a family museum, we don't have so much money, and even Poland is not a rich country, and it is impossible to pay such a huge price for an oil painting!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian pretended to shrug his shoulders helplessly and said:

"It's a pity! It seems that I can only send this Raphael painting to auction, because there have been no Raphael paintings at his peak on the art market for many years, and I don't mind waiting to surprise everyone.

If it is auctioned, I am sure that it will definitely be the most important lot in the art auction field in the past decade, and it will be an unprecedented event, with the top billionaires gathered, and the auction price of $500 million is absolutely certain!

I'm going to send you an invitation, not only to the Torresky Museum, but also to the Polish government, and I hope you will come and compete with the richest people, and maybe you will be the winner!"

Before the words fell, Duke Torresky's face had changed drastically.

He knew very well in his heart that if this Raphael painting was sent to auction as the bastard in front of him said, he would probably never think of taking it back.

No matter who anyone or a museum takes a picture of this top-notch painting, it will never let it enter the market again, but will be collected as a family heirloom or a treasure of the museum!

As for participating in the auction, it is even more impossible to compete with all your strength to auction this top famous painting!

Of course, he knows very well what the situation of his own museum and his own country is, and he has no capital to compete with those top rich people at all!

You don't have to think about it! You must lose and lose this famous painting completely!

But if it's not the richest people from Poland, why should they donate this famous painting to Poland!

"Steven, do you need to do this absolutely anything?

Duke Torresky said in a deep voice, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were spewing fire outward, but he couldn't attack!

Waiting for your words! Wait for the slaughter!

Ye Tian smiled secretly, and then said in embarrassment:

"I understand your feelings, Mr. Duke, but I am a professional treasure hunter, and for me, treasure hunting is a business, and doing business is about maximizing profits, which is the golden rule!

Since you don't have that much money, then we can exchange, cash plus top antique art, as long as the value is equal, this is also a very good way!"

"Let's talk about the specific quid pro quo, you guy has taken a fancy to those antique artworks! Declare in advance, we are just a family museum, and there are not so many top-notch antique artworks, which may not satisfy your appetite!"

Duke Torresky said with a strong suppression of anger, his eyes were red, and his teeth were about to be crushed with hatred!

Ye Tian shook his head and said with a chuckle:

"You are so modest, Mr. Duke, as far as I know, the Torresky Museum is one of the oldest and most well-established family museums in Europe!

Although you have been hit many times and lost a lot of top-notch antique art, the number that is still well preserved in the museum is still quite a lot!

If I'm not mistaken, the Torreski Museum alone has 86,000 works of art, not to mention many famous manuscripts and rare texts, which seems to be as many as 250,000 pieces!

The combined value of these collections is billions of euros, which is still a small amount, so how can I believe that you just said that the Torresky family has no money?"

Duke Torresky's face changed suddenly, and he immediately cursed secretly.

"Damn bastard, it's so insidious to know our family so clearly!"

Looking at the abruptly changed face of the old guy opposite, Ye Tian smiled secretly in his heart.

If you want to play the trick of crying poor with your buddy, it's no fun! Honestly wait to be slaughtered!

After a pause, he continued:

"Among the 86,000 works of art in the Torresky Museum, there are many top-notch goods, such as Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting, "Woman with a Silver Mouse", is one of them!

If you are willing to exchange this famous Da Vinci painting, I will raise my hands in favor, let's exchange one-on-one, you get Raphael, I get Da Vinci, it's very fair!"

Before he finished speaking, Duke Torresky on the opposite side had already blown up.

The old man was so angry that his hair stood on end, and with blood-red eyes, he shouted hoarsely:

Even if I die, no one will be allowed to take Leonardo da Vinci's "Woman with a Silver Mouse" out of Poland!

Steven, you're a fucking bastard, a scoundrel, and you're the most greedy guy I've ever met, a devil!"

The old man was completely mad!

Fortunately, there is a conference table in the middle, otherwise this old man will definitely punch Ye Tian, who can't beat it, let's fight first!

"Steven, don't be delusional, Leonardo da Vinci's "The Woman Holding the Silver Mouse" is a Polish national treasure, and it is absolutely impossible to exchange it!"

The deputy director of the Torresky Museum said loudly, his eyes also spewing fire.

One of the remaining Poles stood up at this time, staring at Ye Tian deadly, everyone had an expression of hatred and gritted their teeth!
