Ye Tianchong, the curator of the British Museum, nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Mr. Fisher, you don't need to be so nervous or angry. In my opinion, this art transaction is beneficial to both you and me, and it can be a win-win situation.
I believe you will not deny that if the British Museum collects these valuable antiques and displays them in the museum, it will definitely attract a huge crowd of visitors.
Especially the golden crown of King Edward I, which has a very special significance to the British royal family and the entire United Kingdom, and will become another treasure of the British Museum.
The Chinese antique artworks I just mentioned have very few opportunities to be displayed in the British Museum. For example, "The Proverbs of Women's History" is only publicly displayed twice a year.
More importantly, there are not many people who really know how to appreciate Chinese antique artworks. Rather than shelving those antique artworks, it is better to take them out and exchange them."
Hearing this, the expressions of the two curators of the British Museum softened somewhat, and they both looked at the Queen and the Prime Minister in unison.
The two of them knew very well that whether the art transaction could be concluded or not depended largely on the Queen and the Prime Minister, not on themselves who managed the British Museum.
As for the other British people at the scene and on the live broadcast, they all showed a hint of excitement.
For many of them, those ancient Chinese books written in Chinese characters and ancient Chinese artworks that looked like clouds and mountains were obviously not as important as King Edward I's golden crown and complete set of knightly equipment.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to smile and said:
“I can choose to exchange with the British Museum, or I can exchange with other museums, or top collectors and foundations, such as the famous David David Foundation.
I am also very interested in the pair of Yuan blue and white standard vessels from the Da Weide Foundation, the pair of large Yuan blue and white vases known as Da Weide vases, and the Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze bowl! ”
Hearing what he said, the chairman of the David Foundation, who was also present at the temple in the temple church, rolled his eyes angrily and became furious.
He was about to refute it, but the British Prime Minister beat him to it and suddenly interjected:
"Steven, could you please tell me why you only chose Chinese antiques and not Western antiques? Is the private museum you mentioned located in Beijing? Why not in New York?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately looked at the British guy, and a hint of sarcasm flashed deep in his eyes.
He is not a good person. He actually resorted to borrowing a knife to kill his brother. He was going to put eye drops on his brother and borrowed an American knife to deal with him. How sinister!
"Mr. Prime Minister, the reason why I chose Chinese antiques and art is very simple, because my private museum will be opened in Beijing, and only the Chinese know how to appreciate the things of their own nation best.
If I choose Western antiques for exchange, wouldn’t it be unnecessary? I can just keep these medieval antiques that are closely related to the British royal family, so why exchange them?
In fact, I already have many valuable Western antique works of art in my hands. I will definitely find more Western antique works of art in the future. The lack of the few pieces in front of me does not matter much to me.
My private museum will be a comprehensive museum, taking into account both Chinese and Western culture and art, from antiques from ancient times to modern science and art, everything will be included.
The reason why it is in Beijing instead of New York is very simple. China is a larger market with more potential. When it comes to business, from the perspective of interests, of course I choose Beijing, China.
With the rapid development of China's economy in recent years, people's living standards have been improving rapidly. It is logical that people's pursuit of spiritual culture is also increasing day by day. These are the reasons why I choose China."
Ye Tian said with a smile, taking the opportunity to introduce his private museum that was still on the blueprint to the world.
This is such a perfect publicity opportunity. How can we miss it easily? Otherwise it would be a pity.
He also had another purpose in saying this, which was to take a precaution in advance to prevent anyone from making a fuss about this private museum.
You know, there are many people in the United States who are full and have nothing to do, and they always hate China.
Hearing his words, people couldn't help but have a look of shock on their faces.
The strong strength, confidence, and ambition displayed by Ye Tian shocked everyone.
While they were talking, the antique art appraisal experts from the British Museum and the British royal family had already finished appraising the antique artifacts on the workbench.
The identification conclusion they gave was no different from that given by Ye Tian, and it was even less comprehensive than the identification conclusion given by Ye Tian.
After listening to the introductions of these experts and scholars, the Queen of England looked at Ye Tian again and said with a smile:
"Mr. Steven, we still need time to discuss whether to conduct an art transaction with you. When the results of the negotiation are reached, William will inform you that he will be solely responsible for this matter.
No matter what the final result is, here, on behalf of the British royal family, I would like to express my gratitude to you again for this major discovery. There is no doubt that you are the best professional treasure hunter! ”
With that said, the Queen of England shook hands with Ye Tian again.
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty the Queen. You are an elegant and noble lady. It is a great honor to meet you here. I look forward to hearing good news and hope that this art transaction can be concluded smoothly."
Ye Tian said with a smile and bowed slightly to the Queen of England again.
After chatting for a few more words, the Queen of England walked back to her seat and sat down. While chatting in a low voice with the Pope, she waited to see what was in the other six boxes.
After the Queen of England left, Ye Tian immediately said to Prince William and other British people gathered around the workbench:
"Your Highness, gentlemen, please give way. We need to put away these antiques and make enough space. We still have six boxes to open in public.
I can tell you in advance that the items contained in those six boxes are most likely long-lost Christian holy relics, and the shock they will bring will be even greater."
After hearing his words, Prince William and the other British guys could only leave the workbench and step back a few meters. Everyone looked reluctant and unwilling to leave.
However, their emotions dissipated in the blink of an eye, replaced by eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
The rest of the people present at the inner temple were the same. They all stared curiously at the remaining six rosewood boxes. Everyone's eyes were full of anticipation and their eyes were extremely hot.
In front of all the live broadcasts, people were excitedly staring at the six boxes, and secretly guessing what was in those six boxes, whether they were the Christian holy things that guy Steven mentioned. things.
Some devout Christians have even begun to cross themselves and pray in a low voice, praying for a miracle to appear before their eyes.
As soon as Prince William and the others retreated, Ye Tian immediately pointed to the golden crown of the Plantagenet Dynasty on the workbench, as well as the Crusader knight equipment of Edward I and Earl Lancaster and said:
"Jason, take the guys to collect these valuable medieval antiques, put them in their original boxes, and then put them in sealed bags.
During this process, everyone must be careful not to damage these antique cultural relics. Any negligence may cause huge losses."
"Okay, Steven, don't worry, leave it to us, there won't be any problems"
Jason nodded in response and immediately led several company employees into action.
It didn’t take long for Jason and the others to collect the antique artworks placed on the temporary workbench and repackage them into the three black walnut boxes.
When Ye Tian completed the inspection and confirmed that there were no problems, and then reached out to cover the box containing the golden crown of King Edward I, all the British people at the scene and in front of the live broadcast sighed in unison.
These voices contain a variety of emotions, including joy, regret, and reluctance.
Ye Tian seemed not to hear these sighs.
He looked directly up at the Pope sitting at the head, smiled and said loudly:
"Your Majesty the Pope, it's your turn in the Vatican. There are six rosewood boxes waiting for you to open them. I believe that each box will bring everyone a huge surprise"
As he spoke, he pointed to the six rosewood boxes placed on the workbench.
At this time, no matter whether it was in the temple church or on numerous live broadcasts, everyone’s eyes were focused on the six rosewood boxes.
