The return of grandparents, parents, and many other family members went smoothly without any trouble, as did the top Chinese antique artworks.

Early the next morning, Ye Tian received a call from his father.

When I called, my grandparents and my parents had already returned to their home in Lishi Hutong in Dongcheng, and the rest of the family had also returned to their respective homes.

Then, after adjusting to the jet lag and recuperating at home, everyone's life will soon be back on track, whether it is to work or go to school.

After more than an hour, my aunt's phone call also came in.

They arrived at the Capital International Airport with the batch of top antique artworks, and then returned to the Forbidden City under the escort of a large number of special police, and were welcomed at the noon gate of the Forbidden City

Leaders of the Ministry of Culture, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and the Palace Museum attended the grand welcome ceremony to welcome the return of the country's treasures

At the welcome ceremony, Aunt Xiao and Qiu Lao cooperated to display one of the most important cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace, the famous Forty Scenes of the Old Summer Palace.

With the slow opening of the scroll of the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace, the first scene of the Old Summer Palace, Zhengda Guangming, after a lapse of more than 150 years, finally appeared in front of the eyes of the Chinese people again, and it was in the Forbidden City

In the next moment, the welcome scene of the Forbidden City's noon gate was completely boiling, and the cheers and admiration resounded in the sky, which could be heard throughout Beijing

Some cultural experts who were at the noon welcome scene even burst into tears and choked up

For this situation, Ye Tian had already expected it, and he was not surprised at all

The 40 scenes of the Old Summer Palace are the important treasures of the country that countless Chinese have been thinking about for a long time, but they have not had the opportunity to see the real thing, and it is also a thorn in the hearts of Chinese, representing a history of humiliation

This time, the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace were successfully returned to China and displayed in public, can it not cause a sensation

This public display was personally arranged by Ye Tian, with the purpose of building momentum, rapidly expanding the influence of these national treasure-level antique artworks and attracting more attention.

In addition, there is a little bit of caution about him here.

He wants to tell everyone in the country that these important treasures belong to him and that no one else wants to covet them

After ending the call with his aunt, Ye Tian and Betty packed up and drove to the company in Rockefeller Center.

It's the New York Fall Auction Season, one of the most important auction seasons of the year, and there is still a lot of work to take care of in the company

Therefore, Ye Tian discussed with Betty and postponed their honeymoon trip by a few days.

After arranging things related to the New York Autumn Auctions and other things, they will leave New York for a romantic honeymoon

On the first day back to the company, Ye Tian and Betty quickly entered the working state.

During this day, Ye Tian stayed in the company's office and met non-stop with representatives of major auction houses in New York, signing a series of consignment auction agreements with them.

Through these consignment auction agreements, he entrusted many of the top antique artworks to the major auction houses in New York, so that they could push these treasures into the art auction market and help him sweep the fortune madly

Among them is the golden mask of the ancient Egyptian cat god Best, an ancient Egyptian artifact from thousands of years ago, which is sure to cause a huge sensation once it appears on the antique art auction market.

As for other antique artworks that are ready to be auctioned in the near future, but of relatively average value, Jason and several other employees are in charge of the company.

In the next few days, they will negotiate with major auction houses in New York and sign consignment auction agreements one after another

Although the value of these antique artworks is not very high, the number is very large, and the total number is very staggering

Ye Tian set a reserve price for these antique artworks, and when Jason negotiated with the auction house, they negotiated and signed a consignment auction agreement based on the reserve price he set

In this way, there is no need to worry about what tricks the auction house will play, yin themselves or the company, and there is no need to worry about some guys joining forces at the auction to lower the transaction price

It's a big deal to lose the auction and the company will reclaim the relevant antique artworks, and then have the opportunity to put them on the market again in the future, and there is no loss

After signing the relevant consignment auction agreement, Ye Tian and David took the personnel of the major auction houses and the strict protection of many armed security personnel to the major vaults in Manhattan to pick up the goods

After presenting those top antique artworks and verifying their authenticity, the two sides will hand over on the spot.

Ye Tian personally handed over those top antique artworks to the auction house staff, and handled the handover procedures on the spot, and then they escorted them back to their respective auction houses.

By the time Ye Tian returned home after these things, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the day was about to pass.

The next day, there were still a lot of things to deal with, and Ye Tian still couldn't be idle.

Shortly after arriving at the office in the morning, David arrived at the office with his assistant lawyer.

After entering the office and chatting casually, David got to the point.

"Steven, when are we going to the Metropolitan Museum to meet with the Bishop of Kent and hand over to them the statue of Our Lady of Raphael and Michelangelo's Christ of Mourning

To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give those two top works of art to the Vatican, it would be Raphael and Michelangelo, and I wouldn't be distressed to death."

As he spoke, a look of pain flashed across David's face.

Although Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's mourning Christ did not belong to him at all, he still felt distressed and reluctant

"Don't worry, David, I've just contacted Kent, who is accompanying the Pope on a visit to the Philadelphia Masonic Cathedral and meeting with the enthusiastic believers in Philadelphia.

After the meeting, he would rush to Manhattan with the relevant people, and when they arrived, it would be twelve o'clock, and then it would not be too late for us to go to the Metropolitan Museum.

Giving Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Christ of Mourning to the Vatican, how could I be willing to give them to the best works of art, and there are several more in the world

But those two top-notch works of art are nothing compared to the good wishes Betty received, and I am sure that I will have a great deal to gain from my trip to Italy at a later date

Maybe I can find the works of Raphael and Michelangelo again, or even Leonardo da Vinci, in some city in Italy, or in some old church or in some ancient building."

Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression was very relaxed, and he didn't take the two top artworks he was about to lose to heart at all.

When the words fell, David immediately nodded excitedly and said:

"I believe this, and everybody knows that God will always stand with you, a lucky fellow, and will always look after you, and you will never see anyone else

It would be great if you could discover paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo on this trip to Italy, and even more perfect if you could discover paintings by Leonardo da Vinci

I'm looking forward to that day, and I can imagine what a sensation it will be when you discover the work of the three great masters of Renaissance art again."

"I'm also looking forward to discovering a piece of Leonardo da Vinci's work, which would be perfect, and in this way, I will have collected all the paintings of the three great masters of Renaissance art, which is also a feat

That's why I'm going to make the first stop on this trip to Italy in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, then Milan, the capital of fashion, and then Rome."

Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle and said, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he also had a little yearning.

After chatting a few more words, Ye Tian changed the topic.

"David, not only do I have to hand over the two outstanding paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo to the Vatican today, but I also have other things to deal with, so I asked you to come early in the morning.

Later, a few guests will come to visit the company and discuss some matters with me, and you will need to be present as my personal lawyer to witness and record the content of the meeting."

"No problem, this is our responsibility, who is the other party and what is the content of the meeting, tell me first, I can be mentally prepared"

David nodded slightly, slightly curious.

"Okay, I'll tell you about it."

Ye Tian nodded in response, ready to explain.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door, interrupting Ye Tian's words.

Immediately after, Jason pushed the door and walked into the office,

"Steven, the representative of the Consulate General of Honduras in New York came, the Vice Consul and Cultural Counsellor, and a legal adviser, as well as two Consulate General security personnel.

Upon entering the company, Mattis and his team stopped the two security guards and told them to wait in the break room outside the company's office area, with a guy watching.

The rest of the vice-consuls and cultural counsellors and others, Mattis, they also carried out security checks, and they were not found to be armed with weapons, and I have taken them to the conference room"

Hearing this briefing, Ye Tian immediately got up from the sofa, smiled and said to David and Jason:

"Let's go, let's go meet these diplomats from Honduras and see what they are looking for me, so urgent"

"Could it be that the diplomats of the Consulate General of Honduras in New York are here for the six-pointed golden scepter head and for the legendary golden city"

David said excitedly, his eyes shining.

"BGO you guessed it, David, these Hondurans must have come for the Golden City, otherwise what else would they have to do with me"

With that, Ye Tian walked towards the office door.
