Chapter 571: Crazy Asking Price (Asking for Subscription)

The next morning, visitors from other cities in the U.S. arrived as promised.

After some polite and pleasantries, everyone quickly got to the point and began to discuss how to successfully get back those stolen top antique artworks.

As in the previous situation, when Ye Tian made a condition, everyone blew up without exception!

In an instant, the entire conference room was completely overwhelmed with anger, almost turning into a powder keg.

However, when Ye Tian continued to say the solution to the problem, everyone's anger quickly disappeared, and bursts of hearty laughter immediately came from the conference room, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

Subsequently, in a state of harmony, the negotiations continued.

Everything went very well, and before eleven o'clock, the two sides had reached an agreement, and a verbal agreement was formed, the content of which was the same as yesterday.

Next, Ye Tian invited everyone to the best restaurant in the Rockefeller Building to enjoy a sumptuous lunch to fulfill the friendship of the host!

After the guests and hosts had their own joys, everyone dispersed.

In the blink of an eye, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Ye Tian walked into the conference room again.

There were already quite a few people in the room at this time, David and his assistants Anderson, Mattis and Jason, representatives of several large art insurance companies.

And, of course, the indispensable FBI Art Crime Unit agents, Joey and Joseph.

After entering the door and saying hello, Ye Tian sat down in his seat, chatting with his friends casually while waiting for the arrival of new visitors.

At half past two in the afternoon, Jason walked into the conference room with the first three visitors.

Seeing the other party come in, Ye Tian immediately stood up from his seat and greeted him with a smile.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, welcome to New York, welcome to Intrepid Explorers, I'm Steven, and I'm the one I invite you to New York!

"Steven, good afternoon, it's nice to meet you, we met on a video call before, I'm Marvin, the director of the Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada.

Your company is wonderful, full of passion, energy, and art, and is the most beautiful and elegant company I have ever seen, which is enviable!"

An old man in his fifties at the front shook hands with Ye Tian, introduced himself, and sent a series of compliments and compliments.

"It's just a treasure hunting company, it's not the best, these two are?"

Ye Tian was polite, and then turned his gaze to the other two.

"Introduction, they are detectives from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, specializing in the investigation of antique art crimes, this is the ......"

Marven introduced the identities of the other two, just as expected.

During this process, the two Canadian agents had been observing Ye Tian, and their eyes did not seem to be very friendly.

This is not difficult to understand, because of the previous national treasure-level dog's head gold, Ye Tian's reputation in Canada is not very good, and it can even be said to be extremely smelly!

Coupled with this now, how could they possibly have a friendly attitude.

Ye Tian didn't see the scrutinizing gaze of these two people, he shook hands with the two of them separately, and then handed them over to Joey.

"Gentlemen, this is Joey, the head of the FBI's Art Crime Unit, and I am a companion with you, you can get to know and communicate!"

After getting to know each other, several Canadian visitors sat down, suppressed their eagerness, and waited for the rest of the visitors to arrive.

This was followed by a visitor to the Mexican Museum of Anthropology.

They did the same, with a deputy director of the museum and two police officers who specialize in investigating art crimes.

Then came the Canadian, the director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and a famous collector from Vancouver.

It wasn't until three o'clock that the last and most important group of visitors arrived.

"Good afternoon, Duke Torresky, welcome to New York, to my company, I'm Steven, we've met on video calls before, you're much more energetic than on video!

Ye Tian stepped forward to greet the other party, and at the same time sent a series of compliments that did not require money, looking very enthusiastic.

It was the Duke of Torresky of Poland and his party, the biggest fat sheep!

"Steven, good afternoon, nice to meet you, you are obviously more handsome in reality than in the video, and this company is also very good, really young and promising!

Thank you very much for the information, Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man is very important to our Torresky family and to the whole of Poland!"

Duke Torresky directly gave Ye Tian a warm hug, and then said excitedly, his eyes full of gratitude.

The Polish man, who is in his sixties, then began to introduce others around him.

"This is the deputy director of the Czartorysky Museum, named Miłosz, also from the Torresky family, who holds the financial power of the entire museum.

Simon Klerski, from the Polish Department of History and Culture, is responsible for finding Polish antiques that have been lost all over the world!

Peter Mawakhovski, from the Consulate General of Poland in New York, is the Cultural Counsellor of the Consulate General, so he is familiar with New York, so he was sent to assist us in our work.

These two agents from the police headquarters of the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs, which specializes in investigating crimes against antique art, are also here to assist us!"

"Gentlemen, welcome to New York, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Ye Tian greeted everyone warmly and shook hands with each other.

"Hello, Steven, thank you very much for helping us Poland to get back Raphael's Portrait of a Young Man, you will be the best friend of all Poles in the future!"

These people are very polite, and their words are full of gratitude!

Pole's best friend, I hope you'll think the same thing after this is over, instead of scolding and hating your buddies!

Ye Tian said secretly, and then sat down with these people.

Subsequently, the talks officially began.

Time passed quickly, and it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon in a blink of an eye.

The door to the conference room opened again, and people began to walk out of it.

The people who were the first to walk out of the conference room were basically smiling and excited, and they left the brave dauntless exploration company and walked to the elevator.

Obviously, these people have gained something, and the harvest is not small!

They have all reached a verbal agreement with Ye Tian, and it is not far from getting back the stolen antique artworks that originally belonged to them or the museum!

All they need to pay is a fraction of the buyback funds! There is basically no pressure on the museums.

The bulk of the repurchase funds is the compensation of the insurance company!

The insurance company is also willing to bear this cost, compared to the large losses that are about to be recovered, these repurchase costs are nothing at all!

And they may not be able to bear the cost, and the art thieves and many unscrupulous collectors are the best people to bear the cost.

Not everyone was happy! There were still some people who were very unhappy!

The last few Poles who walked out of the conference room, all with blue faces and anger, clenched their fists, and couldn't wait to turn around and rush back to the conference room and beat the bastard inside!

Duke Torresky, in particular, was so angry that his legs were trembling, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot, and he seemed to have a chance of fainting at any time.

After dropping off a few Polish guests at the elevator, Jason snickered and turned back to the office.

As soon as he walked into the company, Duke Torresky immediately gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice:

"Fack! What a fucking eye-opener today, there is such a greedy bastard in the world! 500 million US dollars, he really dares to open his mouth! It's unheard of!"

"That's right! This damn bastard is crazy, it's delusional!"

The deputy director of the Torresky Museum was also resentful, and his teeth were about to be crushed!

"Why don't we use the power of the authorities? put some pressure on this damn bastard to put away those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible!"

"No use! See the two lawyers next to Steven, they're from the law firm of Sullivan Cromwell, one of the largest law firms on Wall Street!

These bastards dare to send the White House to court for the sake of money, how can they care about us Poland? And Steven, this bastard does everything so well that he has no chance to take advantage of it!"

The Cultural Counsellor of the Polish Embassy and Consulate shook his head and said, with a dejected expression.

"Damn, since this can't be done, then use other means, no matter what, to get back this famous painting, this is a Polish national treasure, and it must not be lost again!

A Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs policeman said fiercely, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Don't, you don't know, Steven is a bastard who can do anything, he's tough and ruthless!

If drastic measures are used, the effect is likely to backfire, and even pay a huge price, as long as this bastard finds a reasonable excuse and never relents in killing people, he is definitely a butcher!

In addition, this bastard Steven has a small army under his command, and the members are all the elite of the US special forces, all of them are brave and well-armed, and they are extremely difficult to deal with!"

The cultural counselor of the embassy and consulate hurriedly whispered, trying to stop his own irrational actions.

As he gave this warning, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

He has been working and living in New York for several years, so he naturally knows Ye Tian's past deeds and killings very well, which is terrifying to think about!

"Ah——!h

The rest of the people exclaimed, they were all completely stupid!

What the hell is this monster?
