About ten minutes later, Ye Tian and the others came to the door of the conference room.

Before entering the conference room, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective and thoroughly saw through this small conference room, as well as the guys from Blackwater Company and Israel IZO Company.

Of course, he didn't let go of the things those guys had brought, those three very familiar antique artworks, and other things.

The reason why Ye Tian did this was not because he didn't trust Cole and them, but for the sake of safety, and also to prevent the Vatican from playing any tricks, after all, this was their territory.

Next, everything that happened in this conference room must not leave any substantive evidence, such as videos, audio recordings, etc., which will give people a handle and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As far as the eye can see, the situation in the conference room is immediately and clearly presented, and it is clear at a glance!

The guys from Blackwater and Israel's IZO were sitting at the conference table, looking at the door of the conference room with excitement and antiquation.

On the long conference table in front of them, there are three antique works of art, which convey each of their yearning for a better life and the pursuit of wealth!

As Cole said, they didn't have weapons or bugs, and they didn't have any of these things in the conference room, so they were very safe.

After confirming this, Ye Tian immediately retracted his gaze and ended the perspective.

At the same time, Cole had pushed open the door of the conference room and walked into the conference room with Ye Tian and David, as well as several other security personnel.

As soon as they entered, the guys from Blackwater and IZO stood up and were ready to say hello and introduce themselves!

However, Ye Tian rushed ahead of them and interrupted their words.

"Good evening, gentlemen, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you here, you don't have to introduce yourself, I still don't know your names, let's get straight to the point!"

Hearing his words, those guys couldn't help but be stunned.

Where did they think that they would encounter such a situation, Steven's behavior is too unexpected and too cautious, what an incomparably cunning fox, invulnerable at all!

Thinking of this, these guys couldn't help but have a look of jealousy in their eyes, and secretly determined that they would never provoke this guy Steven in the future, that would be tantamount to killing themselves!

Before these guys could respond, Ye Tian had already looked at the three antique artworks on the conference table, and pretended to be surprised and said:

"I heard from Cole that you want me to help identify three antique artworks, and if I'm not mistaken, these three antique artworks on the conference table are from the open-air market of Porte de la Botce, Rome.

This morning, I also went to the Porte de la Botsei Souk, and I took a look at these three antique works of art myself, so knowing them, it seems that I probably lost my eyes this morning!"

"Hahaha"

There was laughter, and everyone in the room laughed heartily, but no one said anything.

This is talking nonsense with your eyes open! The acting skills are really outstanding, vivid, and incomparably vivid, and it is definitely worth an Oscar!

You guys should be acting, not some professional treasure hunter and antique art appraisal expert, you are really blind to such good acting skills!

Secretly complained a few words, and a guy from the Blackwater company opposite spoke:

"That's right, Steven, these two paintings and this classical sculpture were the ones we bought this morning from the Porte de la Botceis open-air market, but we don't know how to identify them.

Luckily, we know you're in the Vatican, and Cole and I fought side by side in Afghanistan, so I'd like to ask you to help you identify them and see how much they're worth!"

Obviously, this big man is also a good storyteller, either he has already prepared the draft, or he is improvised, and he is called a voice and emotion!

Hearing his words, everyone at the scene couldn't help but laugh again, including Ye Tian.

Ye Tian looked at this buddy appreciatively, then nodded with a smile and said:

Since you're a friend of Cole, you're also my friend, and it's just a gesture of effort, so let's get started!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian stepped forward, took out a magnifying glass from his coat pocket, and pretended to start the identification, which looked quite like that.

Looking at the guys from Blackwater Company and IZO Company, their eyes were all wide-eyed, staring closely at Ye Tian's movements and the three antique artworks on the conference table, their eyes were extremely hot and full of anticipation.

About fifteen minutes later, Ye Tianfang finished the performance, looked up at these guys from Blackwater Company and IZO Company, and pretended to be excited and said:

"Gentlemen, I would like to congratulate you on your good fortune in finding three valuable antique works of art, which is a good thing to celebrate.

But for me, this is not good news, and it hurts me to think that I once held them in my hand and only missed them!"

"Hahaha"

There was laughter again, and David and the others all laughed.

And those guys from Blackwater and IZO were all excited and celebrated directly.

After a brief celebration, the storyteller hurriedly asked:

"Steven, thank you very much for your appraisal, can you explain these three antique artworks? and give a rough estimate, so that we can also know the bottom of our hearts!"

"No problem, man, let's do it one by one!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded in response, and stretched out his hand to point to the spatialist painting.

"Let's talk about this painting first, this is a spatialist work, to be precise, it should be said to be a 'pre-spatialist' painting, by the famous Italian modern painter Fontana.

Fontana is the founder and most important painter of spatialism, and this is a work in the middle of his artistic career, which indicates that his painting style is transitioning from pre-spatialism to spatialism, which is of special significance.

In the antique art market in recent decades, Fontana's works have been extremely popular and have been enthusiastically sought after by countless collectors, and a series of very good auction prices have been set up one after another.

Based on my knowledge of the market for Fontana's paintings, combined with the specificity of the painting and its artistic value, I estimate the price of this pre-spatialist painting at $5 million to $8 million.

There is a gray-black stain on this painting, although it affects the view, but it does not affect the value of this painting, you can find a professional organization, and you can easily remove this stain!"

"Wow! $5 million to $8 million, that's amazing!"

There was an envious exclamation from David and Cole.

As for those guys from Blackwater and IZO, they were already going crazy with excitement, and they all stared at the pre-spatialist painting one by one, and they were reluctant to look away for a moment!

Fortunately, their emotional control ability is not bad, and they did not explode immediately, and directly celebrated wildly.

Ye Tian glanced at these guys, then pointed to another painting, and said with a smile:

This is a surrealist painting by the famous Belgian painter René Magritte, a representative of Surrealism, who created it in the mid-thirties of the last century.

It was during this period that Magritte was at his peak and his artistic peak, and he created many famous surrealist works, and this painting should be among them.

Like Fontana, René Magritte's paintings are extremely popular and sought after by collectors, and he is a very popular modern painter in the major auction houses, and his results are very good.

Combined with the market for René Magritte's paintings, and the performance of the painting itself, I value this surrealist painting at $500 to $8 million, the same as the previous one!"

Unsurprisingly, there was another exclamation at the scene.

Not to mention the Blackwater and IZO guys, they all got even more excited, and everyone's eyes were glowing red, and they looked quite scary.

After a pause, Ye Tian pointed to the half-meter-tall classical sculpture again, and said with a smile:

"This is a classicist style sculpture, it is a sculpture of the famous sculptor of the early Renaissance, Donatello, about Donatello, I don't need to introduce it, I believe everyone knows.

Let's get straight to the point and talk about the market value of this marble sculpture, Donatello's small sculptures are very few, and even fewer appear on the antique art market, and each one will cause a sensation.

Although this sculpture is from the early days of Donatello's career, it is also worth a lot of money, and based on my knowledge of the current art auction market, it is worth between $5 million and $8 million!"

"Wow! Three antique works of art are basically of equal value, which is too exaggerated!"

"It's another top-notch work of art, and it's a sculpture by Donatello, it's incredible!"

The scene was noisy again, and every voice was full of envy and even jealousy.

While amazed, everyone also admired Ye Tian's vision for identifying antique artworks.

In the antique thrift market of the Porter Gate Souk, he actually found three top-notch works of art that were basically equal in value and neglected.

Looking at those guys from Blackwater and IZO, they were completely stupid, everyone was dumbfounded, staring at the three top artworks on the table, their eyes were red!

Ye Tian glanced at these guys, and then continued:

"Congratulations again, gentlemen, on the three top works of art and three great surprises, and as a professional, I would like to give you a sound suggestion.

If you are going to sell these three top works of art, it is better not to be in Italy, where the VAT on art is as high as 22%, and I believe you can't accept it.

There is no VAT on art in New York, so you can bring these three top works of art to New York and entrust them to a top auction house for public auction, so as to maximize the profits.

If you head to New York now, you might be able to make it in time for the New Year's auctions, but if not, wait for next year's spring auction season in New York, where the world's top collectors will be gathered.

When conducting a public auction, in order to ensure that your interests are not violated and that those buyers are not conspired up, it is best to set an auction reserve price, which I recommend is $4 million!

You don't have to be frustrated if these three top works of art don't go up for sale, and when I get back to New York, I'm willing to buy them for $4 million each if they haven't been sold."

Hearing his words, the guys from Blackwater and IZO immediately came to their senses, and each of them had a grateful look in their eyes.

"Steven, thank you very much for your suggestion, we will leave tomorrow and rush to New York with these three top works of art, 22% VAT on artworks, Italians are really crazy about money!"

The guy who made up the story before nodded and said, his voice trembling a little with excitement.
