Chapter 2,205 Stay where it's cool

About an hour later, they had checked into a five-star hotel in the center of St. Petersburg, next to the Hermitage Museum.

As always, this five-star hotel was booked by Ye Tian and them a long time ago.

The company's employees and security personnel, who arrived in St. Petersburg in advance, have already made all the preparations, and everyone just needs to move in.

Of course, in the Russian way, this five-star hotel has long been under the control of the Federal Security Service, and God knows how many Russian agents there are inside and outside the hotel, and maybe even the sweeping aunt.

Although he knew this, Ye Tian did not have the intention of changing a hotel.

He came to St. Petersburg this time to negotiate a deal with the Russians, not to explore the treasures in Russia, let alone to start a war with anyone here, and the Russians had no reason to deal with him.

What's more, the Amber Room is in his hands, and if the Russians want to recover this treasure, they must not take the initiative to deal with him, but protect him.

Like the vast majority of people, Russians also know that Ye Tian is a guy who does not eat hard and soft, and interests are paramount, and he is ruthless, and he is even more famous for his retribution.

If you are not 100% sure about dealing with such a guy, then it is better not to provoke it, otherwise, it will only make things worse.

As for Russia, it is very uneconomical to never want to take back the Amber Room, and to face bloody and even endless crazy retaliation.

Because of this, a senior agent from the Russian Federal Security Service, Bei Jia, would appear in the ranks of Ye Tian with a group of special elites.

It's not so much that they're here to protect Ye Tian, but to deal with those who covet the Amber Room and prevent some idiots from jumping out and ruining this art deal!

Ye Tian's arrival inevitably caused a sensation inside and outside the hotel, and everyone looked at them and whispered with interest.

"I'm going! Steven, this bastard is actually here to St. Petersburg, he must have come to negotiate a deal with the Hermitage Museum, and the one walking next to him is Mikhail, the director of the Hermitage Museum.

As we all know, the Amber Room is a national treasure of Russia! If you want me to say, there should be no deal to be negotiated at all, and since Steven, this bastard has been sent to the door, then he should be arrested and forced to hand over the Amber Room."

"It's a good idea, but there's no chance of success! Steven, the bastard has always been cunning and cautious, and if he dares to come to St. Petersburg, he must have a back hand!

What's more, when he came to St. Petersburg this time, it was impossible for him to take the Amber Room with him, even if the government arrested him, it is estimated that he would not get anything, but would mess up this art deal!

In that case, Russia will never want to get the Amber Room back, and besides, Steven, the bastard is a super-rich man, and he is an American citizen, and no government will dare to touch such a person easily"

Not only the people in the hotel, but also through social media, the news of Ye Tian's arrival in St. Petersburg quickly spread and reached the ears of many people, and immediately attracted countless attention.

In the midst of the discussion, Ye Tian and the others walked straight through the hotel lobby and walked directly to the elevator room.

At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came to everyone's ears, it was English with a slight Russian accent, fortunately it was not difficult to understand.

"Mr. Steven, please stay, can you hear me say a word?"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from, quite curious.

David, Mikhail and others also turned their heads to the left.

The security guards led by Cole and the group of Russian agents led by Bejia were on the alert.

Seven or eight meters to the left of everyone, there was a Russian couple in their fifties, and it was the Russian man who called Ye Tian out.

Ye Tian looked at the other party, then smiled and said:

"Good afternoon, sir, I'm Steven, what do you have to say?

The Russian man nodded, then said loudly:

"My name is Yakov, I'm from Moscow, Mr. Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you, I watched that press conference you held in Berlin earlier, I watched it on the Internet, first of all, congratulations on discovering the Hitle treasure.

But the Amber Room, hidden in the treasure of Hitle, is a national treasure belonging to Russia, which was plundered by Natsui Germany during World War II, and out of moral necessity, should you return this priceless treasure to Russia?"

Hearing his words, all the Russians on the scene couldn't help but nod, obviously holding the same idea, thinking that Ye Tian should return the Amber Room to Russia for free.

At this time, Ye Tian had a sneer of disdain on his face.

He glanced at Yakov, who was seven or eight meters away, and then glanced at the many Russians on the scene, and then said in a slightly disdainful tone:

"Mr. Yakov, I am also very happy to meet you, I don't know if you know me, if you do, you should know that I was born and raised in Beijing, China, and I know Chinese history well.

There was a period of humiliation in China's modern history when all Chinese were humiliated, and it was the Western powers, including Tsarist Russia, that inflicted these humiliations on the Chinese.

From the Sino-Russian Treaty of Nebuchu in 1689 to the eve of victory in World War II in 1945, when the Soviet Union threatened the Yalta Agreement signed by Britain and the United States, Russia has been encroaching on Chinese land.

Through a series of unequal treaties and tricks, Russia has seized about 3.3 million square kilometers of Chinese land, which stretches from Lake Baikal to the Far East.

As far as I know, even if relations between Russia and China have been quite good in recent years, I have never heard that Russia is ready to return these lands.

Mr. Yakov, I don't know if you know the history of Russia's invasion of China and occupation of Chinese land, but if not, I suggest that you learn about this history when you return home.

Mr. Mikhail, who is standing with me, and Mr. Vasily, Deputy Minister of Culture of Russia, are sure to know this history, and you can also consult them, and they will give you answers.

How can you be embarrassed to ask me to return the Amber Room what Russia has never done, to return a large area of territory that has occupied China? Could it be that this is Russia's logic, and I dare not agree!"

The words fell, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

The faces of all the Russians at the scene changed, they became iron-blue, their expressions were extremely embarrassed, and they couldn't find any words to refute for a while, not to mention how depressed they were!

Especially Yakov, his face is even more difficult to see, black and purple, like a dead father!

And David, who was standing on the side, was desperately holding back their smiles, and they endured very hard one by one, and their faces were red!

It is advisable to chase the poor bravely!

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"As we all know, we came to St. Petersburg this time to negotiate with the Hermitage Museum about the art trade, and to exchange the Amber Room for some of the fine antique works in the Hermitage Museum's collection.

Let me explain here that my goal is to collect Chinese antiques and art in the Hermitage Museum, and I want to exchange those Chinese antiques and artworks to display in my own museum.

But where did the Hermitage Museum's collection of Chinese antiques and art, as well as a large number of Chinese historical documents, come from? I can tell you, they are basically looted!

In particular, the Dunhuang scriptures from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are all looted and stolen, but in the past hundred years, when has the Hermitage Museum ever thought of returning those Dunhuang scriptures?

The director of the Hermitage Museum, Mr. Mikhail, is here, and he can confirm whether what I said is correct or not, and you can ask him if the Hermitage Museum has ever thought of this?"

Hearing this, the faces of many Russians at the scene suddenly became even more ugly, and they were as black as the bottom of a pot.

Mikhail, who was taken out by Ye Tian alone to tell the story, had an even more wonderful expression, and even glared at Yakov fiercely, his teeth clucking.

But this is not the end, before the many Russians at the scene can ease up, Ye Tian's implied mocking voice came out again.

"Mr. Yakov, as you said just now, it was the Nacui German army that looted the Amber Room during World War II, what does it have to do with our Brave Intrepid Exploration Company?

If you Russia want to make claims, you should also go to Nacui Germany, you should go to the current German government, you can't find the head of our company at all, even if we find the Amber Room.

Besides, our Brave Explorer is a treasure hunting company, treasure hunting is our business, and the Amber Room is our commodity and our wealth.

Let's take out our own wealth and donate it to a certain country or organization, as well as individuals, it is not impossible, but the premise must be voluntary, and no one can force it!

Let me ask you, Mr. Yakov, would you be happy if someone forced you to give away your personal property? You may be generous, but I'm sorry, I'm a businessman!

Before I came to St. Petersburg this time, I expected that someone would make such a request, and sure enough, I had only one reply to these people: "Stay where you are!"

"Hahaha"

David: They finally couldn't help it, and they all burst out laughing.

Looking at Yakov and the other Russians at the scene, they were all so angry that they couldn't wait to rush up and beat Ye Tian fatly, so that they could vent their evil anger!

Especially Yakov, this Russian only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted on the spot!
