The night was fine, and in the blink of an eye, it was a new day.

Just after breakfast in the morning, a large number of people who had left last night because of the cold and protesters returned one after another, once again blocking the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel, and there were more people than yesterday!

The slogans, banners, and flags of different colors and sizes in their hands were also much more numerous and targeted than yesterday's, and they were obviously prepared.

Of course, there is no shortage of idlers, tourists from all over the world, and so on.

There are also reporters from major news media, these guys are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, how can they miss such a lively scene, and it is very good not to make noise in secret.

By about 9 o'clock in the morning, two or three thousand people had gathered around the Four Seasons Hotel, standing at the door of the hotel and looking at it, it can be described as a display of flags, a sea of people, and the scene was very lively!

For this situation outside the hotel, Ye Tian and they have long been used to it, and they don't bother to deal with it at all, but they just appropriately raise the alert level.

Because they had to deal with a large number of antique artworks swept from the Milan Canal Antique Market, Ye Tian and the others did not plan to leave the hotel today, so they did not have to worry about falling into the sea of people outside.

However, the Milan police were very nervous and like a big enemy.

They sent a large number of police officers to the Four Seasons Hotel to maintain order at the scene, lest the protest be exploited and turn into a riot.

Just after nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian's first batch of guests made their way through the surging crowd and finally arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.

The guests came from several top auction houses, such as Sotheby's and Christie's, as well as four of the top art insurance companies, such as AXA.

Among them are managers, department heads, clerical staff, lawyers, and antique art experts from major auction houses and art insurance companies, as well as many heavily armed security personnel.

A group of dozens of them walked into the Four Seasons Hotel, which caused a sensation.

Just like in Florence before, Ye Tian did not plan to bring back the antique artworks swept from the Milan Canal Antique Market back to New York, but planned to dispose of them on the spot to save trouble!

Milan is the most prosperous city in Italy and one of the economic centers of the whole of Europe, and the antique art auction market is well developed and mature enough to absorb this batch of antique art.

Of course, this does not include Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, Lisa Gradini, and a handful of antique works of art from China.

As for Bowie's harvest, he will bring it back to New York and slowly sell it in the New York antique art market, and even the entire antique art market in the United States, so as to maximize the profits!

As soon as the personnel from the major auction houses and art insurance companies arrived, Cole and his team began to conduct identification to make sure that no sinister individuals were involved in the process of trying to fish in troubled waters.

After checking them one by one, the identities of these guys are no problem and trustworthy.

Subsequently, these professionals were able to enter the floor where Ye Tian was and then began their work.

In the following years, they began to identify the antique artworks from the canal antique bazaar, and then signed the consignment auction contract and the corresponding art insurance contract.

In order to avoid being calculated and ensure that his interests are not violated, Ye Tian gave an estimate for each antique artwork and set a reasonable auction reserve price!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, time passes quickly.

Shortly after 12 a.m., Jason flew to Milan with two company employees and rushed to the Four Seasons Hotel.

In addition, some Italian super-rich, such as Maria and Berlusconi, who were publicly named by Ye Tian, and their art agents called one after another to inquire about the purchase of "Lisa Gradini"!

In addition to them, many high-level executives of famous museums, top art dealers, and top collectors also called, also for Lisa Gladini.

Among them, there are many top Italian collectors and famous museums, as well as famous museums and top collectors from other parts of the world, all of whom are very enthusiastic and sincere!

The birth of "Lisa Gladini" has shaken the whole world, attracted countless people's attention and attracted countless covetous eyes.

For these purchase requests, Ye Tian prevaricated with the same excuse.

He told the potential buyers that the appraisal of Lisa Gladini had not yet been completed, and that he would only consider selling Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece or putting it up for auction when it was done!

In fact, he did it for another reason!

His aim was the old street near Sforza Castle, the possible Leonardo da Vinci house on that street, and the secrets behind it.

If Leonardo da Vinci's house is really on that street and hides any secrets, then the Latin line on the back of Lisa Gladini must not be leaked in advance!

Lisa Gladini can only be sold until you find out about Leonardo da Vinci's house, or buy the old building, or even the street, and thoroughly grasp the hidden secrets.

By then, even if people knew that the street was closely related to Leonardo da Vinci and that Leonardo da Vinci's former residence was on that street, it would be too late.

The reason why Ye Tian recruited Jason and them from New York was to do this.

The time soon came to about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the appraisal of many antique artworks was finally completed, and the entrusted auction contract and art insurance contract were all completed.

Next, it's time to take away the valuable antique artworks.

In view of the situation outside the Four Seasons Hotel, the auction houses discussed with the art insurance company for safety reasons, and decided to use air escort to transfer the antique artworks.

Soon, helicopters from several top art insurance companies flew over the Four Seasons Hotel to begin the transfer work!

Ye Tian's two medium-sized helicopters are responsible for escorting.

After coordination, two police helicopters from the Milan police were also joined to escort the police and prevent accidents.

Some guys with bad intentions and mixed in the crowd at the door of the hotel couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw this scene, but they had no choice but to watch.

It didn't take long for the antique artworks that Ye Tian swept from the Milan Canal Antique Market to be transported to the major auction houses and stored.

In the next few months, or even a year or two, these antique works of art will appear in major auctions in Italy, bringing Ye Tian a huge amount of wealth.

Not all antique artworks have been entrusted to auction houses, and Ye Tian still has a few very good pieces of Chinese antique artwork in his hand, which will soon be shipped to Beijing.

After the last batch of antiques was transported by helicopter, the staff of the auction house and the art insurance company were ready to leave and return to their respective companies.

However, Ye Tian kept the managers of four top art insurance companies.

After the rest of the people had all said goodbye and left, he said to the managers of the four art insurance companies:

"Gentlemen, the reason why I have left you behind is that I have a big business to hand over to you, and I want the four of you to jointly underwrite Lisa Gladini, with an insurance amount of 2 billion euros!"

Before the words fell, the four managers of the art insurance company jumped up from the sofa as if they were electrocuted, holding their heads one by one and exclaiming.

"Oh my God! I heard you right? Steven, how many companies are you going to give us the insurance business for Lisa Gradini?"

"Wow! 2 billion euros insured, this is definitely a business that has never been done before in the field of art insurance, it's crazy!"

Looking at these four almost crazy guys, Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said:

"You heard you right, gentlemen, I do want to hand over to you the insurance business of Lisa Gradini, and it must be a joint underwriting, with at least two insurance companies involved.

The reason why I asked your four art insurance companies to jointly underwrite is, to put it bluntly, to let your companies contain and supervise each other, so that we can better protect my interests.

The amount of insurance is 2 billion euros, which is not wrong, the reason why I set this amazing amount is that I am benchmarking the value of the "Mona Lisa", and to be honest, this amount is still a bit low.

There is no doubt that this is the largest art insurance ever made in terms of a single piece of antique art, and it is sure to cause a huge sensation once it is announced.

We still have a lot to do this time in Italy and Milan, and it is impossible to carry Lisa Gradini with us all the time, because it is very inconvenient and very unsafe.

For safety reasons, I chose your four art insurance companies to jointly cover this priceless artifact, so that we can free up our hands and feet to do other things.

Of course, if you want to take over this business, you must meet some of my conditions, first of all, it is to keep it secret, and you must not reveal the location of Lisa Gladini.

Secondly, you must ensure that this priceless artifact is absolutely safe, otherwise your four art insurance companies will face a sky-high claim of up to 2 billion euros, and not a penny less.

Once you've taken the deal, I'll put Lisa Gradini in front of me in a portable titanium safe, seal this priceless treasure, and hand it over to you.

Or I'll store this painting of Leonardo da Vinci in a vault in front of you, and none of you will be allowed to open the safe or vault without my permission.

This masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci has been hidden for more than a hundred years, and with its long history of more than 500 years, it is so fragile that any careless act could ruin it.

I can tell you in no uncertain terms that this is a short-term art insurance contract, and it won't be long before I will be working on the painting, or selling it, or auctioning it publicly.

Even so, this art insurance business is still full of oil and water, and it will bring huge attention to several of your insurance companies, which is a great golden advertising opportunity!"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, the four managers of the art insurance company couldn't help but fall silent.

After a few moments, one of the buddies said:

"Steven, I must admit that this business is extremely tempting, but this business is so big that a few of us don't have such a big decision, and we have to report it to the highest level of the company.

Another point is that if we have four art insurance companies to underwrite together, there will inevitably be a lot of issues involved, and we will need to coordinate a few companies,......"
