After learning how much the antique artworks in their hands were worth, the guys from Blackwater and IZO left the meeting room with satisfaction and returned to the Paul VI Hotel next to the Vatican!
The guys didn’t say much as they left.
They know very well what they can and cannot say! They just looked at Ye Tian deeply, and everyone nodded heavily at him, the meaning was self-explanatory!
It is completely conceivable how these guys will celebrate wildly after returning to the hotel.
For them, tonight is definitely a dreamy night and they will be unable to sleep all night long.
Wait until tomorrow, these guys will set off with the three top-level works of art, leave Rome, go straight to New York, and then send the three top-level works of art to the auction house, waiting to make a big fortune.
Although these guys left, Ye Tian and the others did not leave the conference room. They still stayed here, laughing and chatting.
Ten minutes later, several security personnel who had pretended to be tourists and mingled with the crowd during the day walked into the conference room with several pieces of antique art!
They were the guys who accepted Ye Tian’s instructions at the Botsaimen open-air market and secretly massacred the antique shop that had turned him away, including Brandon, Justin, Connor and others.
It was difficult for these guys to show up at the Porta Botsa open-air market, as that would expose their identities. Now that it was dead of night and in the Vatican, there was no such concern.
And what they were holding in their hands were several pieces of antique art that Ye Tian secretly informed them and asked them to sweep up from that antique store.
Ye Tian naturally knew all about these antique works of art, but David and the others were confused. Everyone was very curious and wanted to know more.
After entering the conference room, Brandon and the others placed the antique artworks in their hands on the conference table, then stood aside, chatting with Cole and the others while waiting for Ye Tian to answer questions.
Ye Tianze stepped forward, looked at the antique works of art, and confirmed the results.
Without exception, the several pieces of antique art placed on the conference table were exactly what I had designated during the day, and there were not many of them.
After confirming the result, he smiled and said:
“Well done, Brandon, Justin, and the rest of the guys. These antiques are exactly what I specified, and each of you will receive $100,000 as a reward! ”
Before he finished speaking, there was an ecstatic cheer in the conference room.
“Wow! A $100,000 reward, that’s awesome!”
“Steven, you are definitely the most generous boss I have ever seen. This is such a perfect day!”
The ones cheering loudly were naturally Brandon and Justin. They were all excited, waving their fists or high-fiving each other in celebration.
Others who were also in the conference room looked at these guys with envy, wishing they could replace them. That’s a hundred thousand dollars, who doesn’t like them?
Ye Tian looked at the guys cheering and celebrating, then glanced at the other security personnel, and then said with a smile:
“Brandon, this is the reward you deserve. Other guys don’t need to be too envious. There will be many more similar opportunities in the future. Maybe you will be the one cheering and celebrating next time.
Tomorrow I plan to visit two other famous antique streets in Rome, as well as some well-known antique shops. If you encounter an opportunity like today again, it is your turn to take action! ”
The cheers rang out again immediately, and this time it was the other security personnel who cheered and celebrated.
When the cheers died down, Ye Tian got to the point.
He first pretended to appraise them, and then began to comment on the antique artworks placed on the conference table.
“This realistic painting depicting the scenery of Milan’s canals is the work of the famous Italian painter and realist master Pietro Anigoni. It was created in the early 1950s.
Argnoni was one of the first members of the ‘Realist Painters Group’ founded in 1955. He was also one of the most outstanding Italian artists of the 20th century. He was even hailed as the last realist master!
To commemorate this outstanding artist, Italy established a sizable gallery of Anigoni paintings in Florence, and named a street and a square after him.
Talking back to this realistic painting, it is one of Anigoni’s peak works and has extraordinary artistic value. I estimate its value at around 4 million U.S. dollars, and if it goes up for auction, it may be even higher.
Let’s take a look at this Impressionist painting again. This painting was painted by the famous Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt. She is one of the few famous female painters in the history of world art.
Mary Cassatt was a painter from the United States and the only American invited by the French Impressionists to participate in an exhibition. She had settled in Paris for a long time since the 1870s.
Because Mary Cassatt was a woman and an American, her paintings are extremely popular in the American art market. Every time a painting appears, it will attract a fanatical pursuit from collectors…”
Next, Ye Tian explained all the antique artworks placed on the conference table and gave their valuations.
As he introduced, bursts of exclamations and cheers could be heard from time to time in this conference room.
While Ye Tian and the others were cheering and celebrating and enjoying the joy of harvest, many places in Rome were shrouded in gloom and mist, and many people were even whispering curses at Ye Tian.
For many Romans, especially professionals in the field of Roman antique art collection, this was definitely a miserable night that will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
……
The night passed quickly, and a new day came in an instant.
In the early morning, when many Romans were still immersed in their dreams and sleeping soundly, Ye Tian and the others had already gotten up and started taking action!
As soon as the sun rose, a huge heavy-duty convoy left the Vatican and headed straight for the Leonardo da Vinci International Airport in Rome.
In the middle of this heavy convoy, there are two extremely strong armored **** vehicles.
Contained in these two armored **** vehicles are all the statue fragments of the statue of Athena, as well as all the Chinese antiques and art that were swept away from the Botsa Gate open-air market yesterday!
Responsible for escorting and protecting the two armored **** vehicles were a large number of armed security personnel led by Ye Tian personally, as well as some members of the Swiss Guard seconded from the Vatican.
In addition, the two medium-sized helicopters rented by Ye Tian also took off at the same time, roaring and hovering over the convoy, following the convoy all the way to the airport.
Unsurprisingly, as soon as this heavy-duty convoy left the Vatican, it attracted countless attention and caused quite a stir in the city of Rome.
The Italian Cultural Relics Gendarmerie and the Roman Police responded quickly. Their vehicles followed closely, staring closely at Ye Tian and his convoy.
Even the Casamonica family, which was entrenched in the southeast of Rome, became very nervous after receiving the news, fearing that Ye Tian and the others would rush into the southeast of Rome with great fanfare!
Fortunately, this was just a false alarm. Those mafia scumbags quickly figured out that Ye Tian and the others were rushing to the airport, not to cause trouble for him!
From leaving the Vatican to arriving at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, the journey was smooth and without any trouble.
But when clearing customs at the airport, the Italian Carabinieri immediately jumped out and demanded inspection of all goods to be shipped to Beijing. Their attitude was very firm!
Moreover, they also brought along several experts in antiquities and art appraisals. They were obviously prepared, lest Ye Tian take some priceless top antique art out of Italy!
Ye Tian did not refuse their request.
He behaved very calmly and allowed these Italian cultural relics to be inspected by the gendarmes, while his team of lawyers supervised the process and recorded the entire process with a camera to keep it as evidence to prevent anyone from cheating!
The detailed inspection began immediately, but Ye Tian knew the result!
Those Italian antique art appraisal experts are not in vain. Each of them has real talent and knowledge, and is somewhat famous in the industry!
However, in their eyes, those Chinese antiques and artworks are not top-notch artworks that are restricted from leaving the country. They are not on the relevant list and there is no reason to detain them.
They did not recognize the fragments of the statue of Athena that had been completely disrupted by Ye Tian and scattered in several solid wooden crates, and could not determine their origin and value.
Furthermore, this statue is so badly damaged that it doesn’t have much value at all, so there’s no need to make things difficult!
Considering Ye Tian’s huge influence in the field of antique art collection, coupled with the fact that the cameras are always directed at them, the antique art appraisal experts did not dare to find trouble for no reason. That would be tantamount to asking for trouble. !
In this way, it took more than an hour to complete the customs clearance work.
Next, Anderson and the others escorted the solid wooden crates filled with antique artworks and fragments of the statue of Athena into the airport and boarded the Air China charter flight responsible for transporting these treasures.
About half an hour later, the Air China charter flight took off with a roar, roared into the sky, and flew straight to the east, heading straight for Beijing!
Until the large passenger plane soared into the blue sky and flew out of sight, Ye Tiancai secretly let out a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging high in his throat, fell back into his stomach.
Afterwards, he left the airport with the **** convoy and returned to the Vatican.
At this time, it was almost nine o’clock in the morning.
The ancient city of Rome has completely woken up and a new day has begun. People in this city have begun to rush about their own lives again!
But how did the Romans know that this stormy city would soon face another storm and be plundered by Ye Tian again?
Ye Tian’s goal this time is no longer the open-air market of Porta Semen, but the two most famous antique streets in Rome, as well as the well-known antique shops dotted around the city!
