The time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was half past six in the afternoon, and there was only half an hour left before the end of the preview. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ye Tian returned to Sotheby's with Betty again, preparing to withdraw the goutou gold and two famous paintings from the booth and send them back to the lot warehouse to end the preview.

David also returned to the exhibition hall, he was a lawyer, and needed to be there,

Although the preview is coming to an end, the exhibition hall is still full of people and is very lively! There are even people who keep coming to seize the last bit of time to visit.

This is undoubtedly what Ye Tian wants to see the most, the more lively the better!

Looking at the lively scene in the exhibition hall, he already thought of the scene at the auction, which must be unprecedented and the competition is bound to be extremely fierce!

At this time, he seemed to see a surging wave of dollars, coming straight to him, extremely tempting!

As he was thinking about it, Betty's voice suddenly came.

"Honey, the preview is over soon, why are there so many people? It's crazy!"

Ye Tian smiled proudly and explained softly:

There's a reason why people are so welcoming, and for the vast majority of people, it's probably their only chance to see these treasures up close.

After the auction, there is a good chance that these treasures will fall into the hands of private collectors, and there will be very few opportunities for public display in the future, which is why everyone is so enthusiastic."

"It's not like art in a museum, you can see it at any time."

Betty sighed, her eyes slightly regretful.

"Let's go inside, the preview will be over soon"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and then walked into the exhibition hall with Betty.

As soon as he entered the door, Simon walked quickly to greet him, his expression extremely excited.

"Steven, you're finally here! Introduce you to someone, our big customer at Sotheby's, super rich!"

"That super-rich man, who excites you so much"

Ye Tian asked curiously as he walked in the direction of the booth.

"Prince Hassan of the Qatari royal family, who spent $250 million to shoot "The Card Player", is the Qatari royal family, and they are also interested in these two masterpieces of Paul Cézanne"

"Wow! petrodollars! I like it!"

Ye Tian exclaimed, and his smile suddenly became even brighter.

The biggest fat sheep in the history of art auctions is here, can you not be happy?

As they spoke, the three of them walked to the booth.

At this time, a man in his thirties and forties, dressed in a white Arab robe and full of beard, was admiring "Mont Saint-Victoire" through bulletproof glass, his expression very focused.

He was followed by four other people, an Arab attendant who was in charge of carrying the bag, an expert who was explaining the painting in a low voice, and two bodyguards, staring warily at the surroundings, as if everyone was an enemy!

"His Royal Highness Hassan, this is Steven, the owner of these two top paintings, Steven, this is Prince Hassan, from the Qatari royal family"

After the meeting, Simon introduced the two parties.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Hassan, it's a pleasure to meet you, and welcome to New York!"

Ye Tian greeted with a smile and stepped forward to shake hands with the other party.

"Good afternoon, Steven, and I'm glad to meet you, New York legend, Wonder Boy! I'm half New Yorker, and I live on Fifth Avenue.

I've heard a lot of stories about you during this time, and each story is very exciting and exciting, especially your adventures, which are very fascinating!"

Prince Hassan said with a smile on his face, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Hahaha, thank you for your attention, I'm very honored, some of those stories are true, and some are inevitably made up and exaggerated, don't take it seriously!"

Ye Tian said a few words politely, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

"There is the best evidence in front of you! Both the dog's head gold and these two oil paintings of Paul Cézanne are the best treasures, and they are by no means ordinary people can have.

In particular, I am very interested in these two paintings of Paul Cézanne, and I plan to take them and make them a private artwork for our Qatari royal family."

Prince Hassan pointed to the oil painting on the booth and said, his tone was very firm, and he looked like he was bound to win.

That's right! That's what dude is waiting for!

Ye Tian secretly cheered, and suddenly laughed even more happily.

"You are welcome to participate in the competition, these two top oil paintings are definitely worth paying attention to, I hope you will get what you want and take them into your pocket!"

"I will succeed, after the auction, these two oil paintings will belong to the Qatari royal family!"

After chatting for a while, Ye Tian and Simon said goodbye and left and came to the stage, while Betty waited on the side of the stage.

Larry and Head of Security Jack soon arrived, and the four of them converged to begin arranging the finishing touches of the preview.

"Steven, after all the visitors have left the venue, you can go on the stage, and we will return the three exhibits safely to the lot warehouse."

"OK! Thank you, it was a perfect preview!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression relaxed.

He was very satisfied with the preview, which was almost impeccable and fully served its purpose.

As he spoke, Jack's face changed suddenly, and his expression became a little solemn, obviously, he heard some bad news through the headphones.

Don't have an accident, right? This is the last moment! Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Simon also noticed the change in Jack's expression, and hurriedly asked:

"Jack, what's wrong?"

"The police received a bomb threat that there was a bomb in the subway station not far ahead, and the Lower Manhattan Police Department was all dispatched, and a full investigation is underway.

Now that I found our office building, the brother on duty downstairs asked me if I wanted the police to go upstairs? There were five policemen, all armed!"

Jack explained in a low voice, his expression a little lighter.

"Let them come up, the preview will be over in ten minutes, it shouldn't have any effect"

Simon whispered, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Ye Tian.

"Okay!"

Jack answered, but didn't immediately notify the downstairs, but called a friend at the police station, if someone took advantage of it, it would be a big trouble!

The call was quickly connected, and the police station replied in the affirmative, that a bomb threat had indeed been received.

After hanging up the phone, Jack notified the security personnel downstairs and allowed the police to go upstairs to investigate.

Meanwhile.

Simon took the microphone and said loudly to the crowd of visitors:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the New York Police will enter the exhibition hall later, please don't be nervous, don't panic, they are just routine investigations, and they will not threaten everyone's safety"

When the words fell, the scene was immediately in an uproar.

"NYPD? What are they doing here? It's not going to happen, is it?"

"Who knows! It's definitely not a good thing, I think it's better to withdraw!"

After the uproar, many people left immediately, but nearly half of them stayed behind and continued to admire the three exhibits.

Ye Tian and Sotheby's didn't care about the departure of visitors, even if they ran out, it didn't matter! The preview would be over in more than ten minutes, and it didn't matter!

Calm quickly returned to the exhibition hall and the exhibition continued.

Four or five minutes later, five New York police officers walked into the exhibition hall.

Each of them was fully armed, wearing steel helmets, brown goggles, body armor, pistols stuck in holsters on the outside of their thighs, four men armed with automatic rifles, one carrying a shotgun, and the firepower was very strong.

Obviously, this is a tactical group, which should be from a SWAT unit.

The age span of the five police officers is not large, between 25 and 35 years old, four men and one woman, three white and two black.

Everyone looked grim and unsmiling.

After entering the exhibition hall, they kept scanning the many visitors at the scene, as well as the environment in the exhibition hall, and of course, the three heavy treasures on the booth.

What they paid the most attention to was the security personnel around the booth, and their eyes stayed on the security personnel at least three or four times.

As the person in charge of the security of the exhibition hall, Jack had already greeted the policemen at this time.

The policemen behaved in a proper manner and there seemed to be no suspicion.

But in Ye Tian's eyes, the feeling that these policemen brought him was a little awkward, as if something was wrong there.
