As soon as the two medium-sized helicopters flew over the Canal Antique Market, Ye Tian's mobile phone rang, and it was a call from Thomas, the director of the Metropolitan Museum.

As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of the old friend came, and it sounded extremely excited.

"Good afternoon, Steven, congratulations on the discovery of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, Lisa Gladini, in Milan.

You're so lucky that wherever you go, you'll find something, and it's all heavyweight discoveries! God seems to always be with you!"

"Hello Thomas, I was very lucky on my trip to Milan and found a lot of valuable antique art, especially Leonardo da Vinci's Lisa Gradini.

This is also a fulfillment of one of my long-cherished wishes, counting Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning Christ", the works of the three masters of Renaissance art, buddy is a collection!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone was naturally complacent.

"It's just you, if you were someone else, you might not be able to touch a work of the three masters of Renaissance art in your life, and it would be a fluke to have such an opportunity!

Can we sell this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci to the Metropolitan Museum? We need a treasure that will bring us so much closer to the Louvre.

As for the price of Leonardo da Vinci's Lisa Gradini, you name it, even if it is to take advantage of the Metropolitan Museum's ticket revenue for years to come, we will not hesitate to do so."

"It's too early to say this, Thomas, to bring this priceless treasure out of Italy, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky, and Italians will do everything they can to leave this painting as long as they are not idiots!"

"You're right, who would give up such a masterpiece of value comparable to the Mona Lisa, whether it is an individual or a country?"

Thomas responded, his tone filled with regret.

After chatting a few more words, Ye Tian hung up the phone and ended the call.

Immediately after Thomas, a call came in from Julian, the director of MOMA, followed by the director of the National Gallery of Art, and some of America's most famous top collectors.

In addition, Martinez, the director of the Louvre, Bernard, the richest man in France, the director of the British Museum, etc., these heavyweights in the field of European art collecting have also called in.

Without exception, all of these guys had the same purpose, they all wanted to buy Leonardo da Vinci's Lisa Gradini, and they were all waving blank checks and showing great generosity!

Just like Thomas at the Metropolitan Museum, Ye Tian prevaricated these guys one by one and didn't give anyone a clear answer.

During this period, even the Shan Lao of the Forbidden City seemed to call over for this "Lisa Gladini".

But the Forbidden City has no intention of buying it, but just wants to talk about the loan exhibition to see if there is such a possibility.

On the phone, Ye Tian briefly introduced the current situation, and he clearly told Shan Lao that it was almost impossible to borrow the exhibition, and it would be difficult for Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece to leave Italy.

Hearing his explanation, Shan Lao also dismissed the idea of borrowing the exhibition.

At the same time that Ye Tian and the others flew away from the canal, Cole led the rest of the people on the ground to successfully pass through the crowd of onlookers, boarded the convoy waiting outside the crowd, and drove straight to the Four Seasons Hotel.

Behind their motorcade were more than a dozen Milanese police cars, as well as vehicles of the antiquities gendarmerie.

Further on, there are a large number of news media interview vehicles, as well as many onlookers with good deeds, and finally countless small and agile scooters.

All these vehicles, large and small, come together to form a huge convoy that is not visible at all glances, and the scene is extremely spectacular!

When this convoy was like a huge torrent, it roared through the streets of Milan, immediately causing a sensation throughout Milan and shocking everyone on the street!

And the team is growing rapidly, with cars and scooters joining the team along the way, and the closer the team gets to the Four Seasons Hotel, the more spectacular it becomes!

It didn't take long for the two medium-sized helicopters to fly over the Four Seasons Hotel and begin to descend slowly to the apron on the roof of the hotel.

The rest went very well.

Half an hour later, Ye Tian and Betty were already in the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, and Anderson and Cole had also returned to the hotel.

The four Milanese lawyers, as well as a group of members from the U.S. Embassy, were placed in several other luxury suites on the same floor of the hotel.

As for Leonardo da Vinci's "Lisa Gradini", it has always been within Ye Tian's field of vision, and has never left for a moment.

The rest of the antique artworks that swept from the Milan Canal antique market were transported into several rooms and stored for later processing.

After returning to the room to wash up and rest for a while, Ye Tian and the others began to enjoy lunch, of course, in the upstairs room.

While they were enjoying their lunch and savoring the joy, the whole of Milan, and indeed the whole of Italy, was already completely boiling and becoming lively.

As Ye Tian expected, the Milanese who were completely shocked by "Lisa Gradini", after sobering up, immediately set off from all over Milan and flocked to the Four Seasons Hotel!

Among them, there are not only those who come to petition, but also those who come to protest and demonstrate, and of course, there are also many people who come to see the excitement and a large number of people with malicious intentions!

The ultimate goal of those willing and protesters is the same, that is, to let Ye Tian leave "Lisa Gradini" in Italy and Milan!

As for those with ill intentions, they want to come here to see if there is anything cheap to catch!

Fortunately, Ye Tian reminded Giovanni in advance, and the Milan police reacted quickly, and they mobilized a large number of police forces to guard the Four Seasons Hotel very tightly, leaving almost no loopholes.

When the surging crowd arrived around the Four Seasons Hotel, they were immediately blocked by the Milan police blockade, and it was impossible to get close to the hotel.

They can only stay a little further away from the hotel, stay outside the cordoned area, shouting and waving flags and slogans to express their demands.

The Italian super-rich people named by Ye Tian, under public pressure, also issued statements one after another, saying that their family or company intends to buy "Lisa Gladini" and keep it in Italy!

Ye Tian and the others received these messages when they were sitting in the living room resting after lunch.

"Steven, just now, Maria and Berlusconi, whom you named, made separate public statements, saying that they would contact you as soon as possible to discuss the acquisition of Lisa Gradini.

Even the Italian Prime Minister's Office issued a public statement saying that this is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of art, and congratulates you and hopes that this painting will remain in Italy!"

Anderson said with a smile and reported on the latest situation in the outside world.

"That's great, I'm ready, just wait for these Italian fat sheep to come to the door, and then slaughter them and make a lot of money!"

Ye Tian said jokingly, looking like he was sharpening his knife towards pigs and sheep.

"Hahaha"

Immediately there was a burst of laughter in the living room, and everyone laughed.

After chatting a few words, Ye Tian got to the point.

"Cole, inform the guys, strengthen your vigilance, from now on, everyone must be in good spirits, strictly guard, and protect everyone here, as well as every antique art.

Anderson, you go and bring those Milanese lawyers and the U.S. embassy over and get them involved, and then I'm going to start working on Lisa Gradini."

"Okay, Steven"

Cole and Anderson responded in unison, and then went into action.
