Soon, more than half an hour passed.
The Russians used airport shuttle buses to transport many boxes that had been transported from two Aeroflot charter flights, and placed them in front of Ye Tian and the others, forming a hill.
The two cultural museum teams from the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China, as well as many employees of the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company, are already in place, waiting to open these boxes and inspect the contents inside.
Many Hermitage Museum staff brought by Mikhail stood next to the boxes containing the golden panels of the Amber Room, eager to open the boxes for inspection.
In addition, staff from the German Ministry of Culture and Tegel Airport Customs are also in place, ready to carry out inspections and register.
Although this world-famous art transaction was completed on the tarmac and did not go through German customs, the Germans still had to check it to prevent both parties from carrying private goods and secretly trading other things.
Seeing that everyone was in place and looking impatient, Ye Tian immediately made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile:
"Mikhail, Vasily, let's get started, unpack and inspect the goods, and then complete the transaction"
"Okay, Steven, we Russians have been waiting for this moment for more than seventy years, and we don't want to wait for one more second!"
Mikhail nodded excitedly and said, his voice trembling a little.
Next, Ye Tian and Mikhail ordered their respective employees to open these boxes filled with top-quality antiques and artworks.
After receiving the signal, the guys standing next to the boxes immediately took action.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight boxes have been pried open, a few on each side.
The next moment, a bright golden light suddenly flashed in front of everyone's eyes, making everyone feel dizzy.
Needless to ask, it is the golden amber sidings of the Amber Room that radiate this golden light.
The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the boxes of dazzling golden amber sidings. Everyone looked dumbfounded and their eyes were full of obsession.
On the other side, several boxes opened by Derek and the others contained several black sculptures, which naturally did not look as dazzling as those golden amber sidings!
"Gentlemen, let's start the appraisal. There will be plenty of time to appreciate it later"
Ye Tian said with a smile, breaking the tranquility of the scene.
Everyone was awakened, and the scene became excited.
Many Russian antique art appraisal experts headed by Mikhail, as well as senior Russian government officials, flocked to the opened boxes with golden amber panels, each one looking crazy.
"This is the famous Amber Room. It is indeed dazzling and dazzling. No wonder Russia and Germany regard it as a national treasure, and it is indeed worthy of its title!"
Jin Lao whispered with emotion, and several other domestic antique art appraisal experts also nodded in sympathy.
Ye Tian looked at those dazzling golden amber sidings and the many crazy Russians, and then said with a smile:
“The royal families of Russia and Germany both like this style of things and make everything splendid, especially the royal palaces, such as the former Russian Imperial Palace and the Winter Palace.
Let the Russians appreciate their national treasures. Let us appreciate the Chinese national treasures that have been lost overseas for a long time. They are no worse than the Amber Room, and our Chinese national treasures have more cultural connotations.
For example, the pair of Tang Dynasty guardian beast sculptures unearthed from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Suan Ni. As far as I know, there is only one pair of such exquisite, paired, and complete Tang Dynasty guardian beast sculptures in the world! ”
As he spoke, Ye Tian gestured towards the open boxes on the other side.
Following the direction of his finger, Mr. Jin and Mr. Liu all turned their heads and looked over there.
When they saw the two ferocious and powerful sculptures of protector beasts from the Tang Dynasty, each of them seemed to be suddenly powered on, and their eyes suddenly lit up like searchlights.
"Ye Tian, you are so awesome. You can actually get these two Tang Dynasty guardian beasts. These are genuine national treasures!"
Jin Lao said excitedly, and the others were also extremely excited, and even had tears in their eyes.
The next second, these famous antique art appraisal experts stepped out and walked quickly towards the two Tang Dynasty guardian beast sculptures.
At this time, each of them walked extremely briskly, as if they were decades younger!
The owner of the two Tang Dynasty guardian beasts, Ye Tian, fell behind.
Next, China and Russia took action separately to identify and count the national treasures belonging to their respective countries.
The first person to complete the identification and inventory work was the Russians headed by Mikhail.
Although the golden amber siding panels in the Amber Room were numerous, they were of a single type and were not difficult to identify. It took them less than half an hour to complete the work.
Immediately afterwards, staff from the German Ministry of Culture and the airport customs came forward to check again, took video data, and then registered them.
After all this work was completed, Mikhail and the others nailed up all the boxes containing golden amber sidings and waited aside.
More than half an hour later, Ye Tian and the others also completed the identification and inventory work.
The Russians did not play any tricks. The Chinese antiques and art works that they had agreed to trade in St. Petersburg were all here, no less.
In addition, the Russians did not do anything inside or outside the boxes containing these Chinese antiques.
The identification and inventory work of both parties has been completed, and the next thing is very simple.
Ye Tian, Mikhail, and the lawyers from both parties signed their names on the transaction contract one after another, bringing the art transaction to a successful conclusion.
After signing the contract, Ye Tian immediately shook hands with Mikhail and said with a smile:
"It's a pleasure to cooperate, Mikhail. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future"
"A chance to cooperate again? Don't be kidding, Steven, if we cooperate with a greedy guy like you again, our Hermitage Museum will be looted and closed completely!"
Mikhail said with a wry smile, shaking his head like a rattle.
Having said that, the pride in his eyes reflected his truest thoughts.
After chatting for a few more words, the Russians like Mikhail said goodbye and left. They used the shuttle bus to carry the boxes filled with the golden sidings of the Amber Room and headed towards the two Aeroflot charter flights a few hundred meters away. .
After the Russians left, Ye Tian immediately ordered his employees, as well as two cultural and museum teams from the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China, to carry the boxes containing Chinese antiques and artworks to the two Air China charter flights.
In my busy schedule, forty minutes have passed.
The two Aeroflot charter flights a few hundred meters away began to taxi slowly along the runway, gradually accelerating, and soon took off, roaring into the sky and flying straight to the north.
At the same time, several heavily armed Russian fighter planes appeared over the Baltic Sea in northern Germany, waiting for the two Aeroflot charter flights to **** the two Aeroflot charter flights directly to St. Petersburg.
It wasn’t until the two Aeroflot charter flights disappeared from the sky that Ye Tianfang looked back, then smiled and whispered to Mr. Jin and others:
"Mr. Jin and Mr. Liu, we will be flying back to China soon. We will fly directly to Beijing with these priceless top-grade antiques and artworks. For the sake of safety, I have specially made some arrangements and need to inform everyone. .
There are two Air China charter flights here, each carrying half of the antique art obtained from the transaction. Let's distribute it like this. The two cultural and museum groups from the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China each get on one plane and fly back to China with the two charter flights.
In addition to the cultural and museum team, our company's employees, lawyers and escorting security personnel will also be divided into two groups and board two Air China charter flights respectively, as will the security personnel flying from Beijing."
"This is a good arrangement. Only when we follow these national treasure-level antiques and artworks all the way can we really feel at ease!"
Jin Lao continued, and the others nodded, with no different opinions.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“But I will not board any of the two Air China charter flights. I plan to take my own private plane back to Beijing. My private plane will not take off until the two Air China charter flights have flown out of German airspace.
This is for safety reasons. As long as I am not on these two Air China charter flights and separated from those priceless antiques and artworks, anyone who wants to fly these two Air China charter flights will be wary.
Moreover, these two Air China charter flights will not fly on the northern route. To be more precise, these two Air China charter flights will not pass through Russian airspace during the entire journey. Needless to say, you know the reason: this is to guard against the Russians.
The two Air China charter flights will fly south, exiting German airspace into Austria, then passing through Italian airspace into the Mediterranean, then Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, and until Beijing.
In this way, even if Russia is unwilling to intercept the two Air China charter flights halfway, it is not possible. Moreover, I have also made some arrangements, so there should be no problems on the return trip."
Lao Jin and Mr. Liu were completely dumbfounded. They all stared at Ye Tian with their mouths open, their eyes filled with disbelief, as if they were looking at a monster.
It took a long time for these people to wake up.
The next moment, there was a sound of exclamation on the scene.
"Ye Tian, you are so shrewd to the extreme, so admirable!"
"Yes, compared with your kid, we have obviously lived like dogs at our age, so ashamed!"
Next, Ye Tian gave these old men a few more words, then ended the conversation and went about their business.
About half an hour later, the two Air China charter flights taxied out one after another. Soon they roared into the sky and flew straight to the south.
It wasn't until the two Air China charter flights soared into the clouds that Ye Tian and the others left the runway and drove towards the private runway at the other end of the tarmac.
