Chapter 563: Calculating the Rockefeller Family (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for Recommendation)

Behind her was a blonde white lady, about forty years old, dressed in a professional attire, which was recognizable from the badge as a member of the MOMA staff.

"Ma'am, are you calling me? We don't seem to know each other!"

Ye Tian glanced back at the other party, pointed at himself and asked in surprise.

"That's right, Mr. Steven, we haven't met, but I know you, introduce myself, my name is Grace, I'm Curator Julian's secretary, welcome to MOMA!"

The white lady behind her introduced herself politely.

"Nice to meet you, Lady Grace, you're so pretty!

Ye Tian said politely, and shook hands with the other party at the same time.

"Thank you for the compliment! It wasn't me who was looking for you, but Mr. Julian, the director of our museum, who came to the exhibition hall at about half past nine and happened to see you.

You were admiring the artwork at the time, and you were very focused, and he didn't bother, and he didn't let me come over until now, and he wanted to invite you to the office and say that you have something to discuss, is that okay? Mr. Steven!"

Grace explained why, and then extended an invitation.

Hearing these words, Ye Tian suddenly became stunned.

Dude is appreciating the artwork, at half past nine, the buddy is obliviously absorbing spiritual power from those top artworks, enjoying the hearty pleasure, of course, very focused!

As for why Julian invited him to the office, Ye Tian knew it.

MOMA has two stolen top works of art in the hands of the Thompson guys, each of which is worth a lot of money, and yesterday afternoon, Julian had seen a video of the two stolen artworks.

Seeing yourself here at this moment, how can you miss the truth?

In the original plan, Julian should go to the Rockefeller Building today and wait in the company conference room for some suffering, who would have thought that he would actually run into this old guy here, and this old guy is lucky!

"Of course, I want to meet Mr. Julian, let's go over now!"

Ye Tian nodded with a smile and accepted the other party's invitation.

"Thank you, Mr. Steven, please come with me!"

After speaking, Grace took Ye Tian and walked towards the staircase.

The MOMA office is located in an adjacent high-rise building, and although the two buildings are connected together, they also need to leave the exhibition hall.

Julian is a white old man in his sixties, a distant relative of the Rockefeller family, and is a little related by blood, which should be one of the reasons why he became the director of MOMA.

The more important reason is that he is a well-known expert in art appraisal, especially in the field of modern art, and he can be called an authority and has a great reputation!

The management ability is also quite outstanding, under his leadership, MOMA has made great progress over the years, and the results are obvious to all, and everyone has to give it a thumbs up and praise!

Ye Tian and this celebrity in the city have known each other for a long time, and at the New York autumn auction season that has just ended, Julian once appeared at the Sotheby's auction site, holding up his cards to compete for several top works of art in Ye Tian's hands.

But unfortunately, he still failed to succeed in the end, and lost to those billionaires who had a lot of dollars in their pockets, so he had to go home in a huff!

Because everyone has known each other for a long time, there are not so many politenesses.

After a few greetings and a few words of conversation with his secretary Grace out of the office, Julian immediately went straight to the point.

"Steven, can you tell me exactly where those two stolen top works of art are? Who are those international art thieves? In that city? It should be in the United States, right?

Those two stolen top artworks belong to MOMA's collection, and we must recover them! Since the theft in 2010, we have never given up the investigation, but unfortunately we have not found anything!

It's amazing that you've found them! It's the best I've heard in recent times, and I hope you'll tell me about it and bring those two top artworks back to MOMA!"

"I'm sorry, Julian, I'm going to disappoint you, I can't tell you about it for now, I can understand how you want to recover the stolen art, but that's conditional.

I'm a professional treasure hunter, treasure hunting is my business, since it's a business, it should be for profit, you listen to my requirements first, and then let's talk about ,......"

Ye Tian shook his head and rejected the other party, and then began to show his ambitions.

As he spoke, the smile and anticipation on Julian's face quickly faded, and in the blink of an eye, horror and anger were replaced.

After saying a few words, the old man's eyes were wide with rage, his fists clenched, and he hated to smash the hateful smiling face on the other side with his fist, and only then could he relieve his hatred!

Fortunately, his self-cultivation is not bad, and he understands that he is not the opponent of the bastard opposite him at all, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and did not explode for the time being!

It took about five minutes or so for Ye Tianfang to finish speaking.

He gave a brief introduction to the art thieves, and made it very clear that he had to get one of the stolen works of art in addition to the reward.

At the same time, he also warned Julian not to act rashly! Secretly tracking down these art thieves will only startle the snake, and the consequences will be unimaginable! No one can bear it!

After saying that, he looked at Julian with a smile, expecting his answer.

"Bang!"

Julian slammed his palm on the desk in anger, and his voice sounded very scary, which made people worry about him, whether he would slap his palm and break it!

In the next moment, he slammed away the chair and stood up, his eyes widened and he roared:

"You want to get your hands on one of the stolen artworks! That's whimsical, it's impossible! Steven, you're the hottest and most greedy bastard I've ever seen, this is the robbery!"

"Don't be impatient, Julian, don't be so angry! You and I both know that the probability of a stolen art being recovered is almost negligible!

However, I was able to increase the probability to 50% and it was very robust, so do you think I'm asking too much?"

Ye Tian ignored the other party's anger at all, and still maintained a bright smile.

I must warn you that these two stolen works of art have been registered in the catalogue of stolen antique works of art and cannot be circulated on the market.

In addition, this theft is under the jurisdiction of the FBI's Art Crime Unit, and they have been following up on this case, and I don't think you want to be approached by FBI agents, it will be very troublesome!"

"Julian, you and I both understand that the antique art market is black and white, and the channels for the circulation of stolen antique art have always existed and are very smooth.

As for the FBI's Art Crime Unit, there's even more to worry about, I've already met with those guys before you, and they don't know more than you do!"

"Ahh

Julian exclaimed, directly dumbfounded.

This damn bastard has thought of everything, and he doesn't have a problem with him! Those FBI guys are just a bunch of idiots!

Seeing his sluggish appearance, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.

"Although only two stolen artworks from MOMA were found, as far as I know, MOMA stole not just two top-notch artworks in that theft in 10 years, but four!

If it is unsurprising that the other two top-notch artworks have been sold by these art thieves, there should be no problem in recovering the other two famous paintings as long as this case is successfully solved.

I don't mean to get involved in the other two famous paintings, you can have a reward, so you can get back a total of three stolen artworks, the rate has reached 75%, what a good business!"

Hearing this, Julian's eyes suddenly lit up, his anger subsided a lot, and his eyes when he looked at Ye Tian became a little gentler!

There is some truth in what this bastard said, as long as he catches those art thieves and finds the other two famous paintings that have been stolen, it doesn't seem to be too difficult!

However, at the thought of being taken away by Ye Tian a top famous painting, Julian was still distressed, and he couldn't make up his mind.

There is a door!

From the look of surprise that flashed in Julian's eyes, as well as the changing expression, Ye Tian immediately determined that the old man on the other side was a little moved!

Just add a little more material! You might be able to win it in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately said:

"Julian, I'm a treasure hunter by profession, I make money, I'm not a collector, and I sell most of the antique art I get my hands on, and I sell it at auction and convert it into dollars.

If you really don't want to give up that famous painting that I gave me, then you can go to the auction, auction that famous painting at the auction room, and bring it back to MOMA, and everyone will be happy!"

"To put it mildly, they are all top-notch paintings, each worth at least $15 million, so how can we have that much money? How many tickets do we have to sell to get together $15 million?"

Julian said angrily, and sat down in his chair, slightly frustrated.

The emotions have almost been cathartic, and he has calmed down a lot!

"MOMA may not have the budget, but you can talk to the wealthy Rockefeller family, MOMA is their mother's museum!

Since the inception of MOMA, their family has been the largest donor and the largest funder, and they will certainly not skimp on $15 million, which is a drop in the bucket for them!"

When he said this, Ye Tian was completely seductive, but his face involuntarily showed a hint of a wicked smile.

It would be great if you could slaughter the Rockefeller family with a knife!

Hearing this, Julian was stunned for a moment, then raised his right hand angrily and slapped it directly on the desk, obviously choking with anger!

Although Lao Tzu is a distant relative of the Rockefeller family, he is also related by blood, and he is barely a member of the family, and Lao Tzu is also the director of MOMA.

You bastard actually dared to calculate the Rockefeller family in front of Lao Tzu, and you are too bold, it's too unauthentic!

Just as his palm was about to fall on the table, he suddenly stopped.

Maybe it's because I'm afraid of pain, after all, even if the palm is hard, it's still fleshy, who can not hurt when slapping it on a solid wood tabletop?

Julian quickly changed the slap to push, pushed the chair away, and jumped up like an electric shock.

Then, the roar of anger resounded through the office again.

"Fake! Steven, you're a fucking bastard, so insidious!"
