With Ye Tian's introduction, Cole and the others uncovered the white cloth covering those antique artworks one by one, and displayed sixteen top antique artworks one by one, presenting them in front of everyone's eyes.

The last artwork to be unveiled is Caravaggio's masterpiece, a classicist painting that symbolizes the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period.

When introducing this painting, Ye Tian deliberately raised his voice, and introduced the painting to everyone on the scene with a passionate and contagious statement, and quoted a jaw-dropping valuation.

At this time, the scene of the appreciation meeting has already been completely boiling.

The eyes of the participants were all attracted by these top antique artworks in front of them, and everyone's eyes lit up, staring at those valuable treasures tightly, and their eyes were extremely hot.

Some of them are even ready to fight and take down their favorite top-of-the-line antique art, which would be worth the trip.

As for the authenticity of these sixteen top antique artworks, and whether the valuation is reasonable, these guys have no doubt at all.

Some of them may not like Ye Tian, or even hate him to the root of their teeth, but they all have great trust in Ye Tian's eye for appraising antique artworks, and they never believe that he will look away.

Ye Tian's valuation of the relevant antique artworks was not questioned by anyone.

Everyone knows very well that the valuation given by Ye Tian is basically equivalent to the current market value, and even if there is a deviation, it is very limited, which has been proven in many previous transactions.

After Ye Tian's introduction, everyone at the scene immediately rushed up, each selected a target and began to appreciate those top antique artworks, and discussed them in a low voice.

Those top antique art appraisal experts who were invited to come took out their gloves and magnifying glasses and other identification equipment, and began to identify those antique artworks according to the tips given by Ye Tian during the explanation.

As for the appraisal results, needless to say, there is no discrepancy with the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian.

With the release of these appraisal results, this small antique art appreciation meeting quickly turned into a private antique art fair.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian was surrounded by the super-rich people waving checks, top collectors, and representatives of several famous museums.

Next, there was round after round of bargaining, and the scene was extremely hot.

By the time this small appreciation meeting was over, all the sixteen top-level antique artworks displayed on the scene had been sold, changed owners, flowed out of Ye Tian's hands, and became someone else's treasure.

In particular, Modigliani's painting and Caravaggio's masterpiece sold for a whopping 130 million euros and 360 million euros respectively!

As the owner of these top-notch antique artworks, Ye Tian has rightfully swept away an astronomical amount of wealth, which is jaw-dropping, and it is also the envy of everyone to the point of madness.

After the appreciation, there was another high-level reception, but the venue for the reception was changed to a banquet hall in another building.

In addition to the top collectors and super-riches, antique art experts, and other professionals who were invited, some of the Vatican's top leaders also attended the reception!

At the cocktail party, Ye Tian was still the focus of the audience.

The super-rich and top collectors laugh and drink with him, listen to his adventures and thrilling stories, and hope to buy some of the best antiques from him in the future.

Many top antique art experts surrounded him, discussing the skills and methods of antique art appraisal with him, and trying to learn something from him.

Only Giovanni and those from the Italian Ministry of Culture and the Committee for the Protection of Historical Heritage stood in the distance with wine glasses, gritting their teeth and looking at the high-spirited Ye Tian, everyone hated it.

It was close to seven o'clock in the evening before the reception ended.

The invited guests then left the Vatican one after another, some smiling and full of joy, while others left the Vatican with a bit of regret.

After sending all the guests away, Ye Tian and the others returned to their residence.

By this time, Anderson had flown back to Rome from Beijing with several security personnel, and Jason and they had also returned to the Vatican.

After returning to the guest room to rest and wash up, Ye Tian gathered everyone into the living room and began to arrange the next things.

After everyone arrived and chatted a few words, Ye Tian immediately entered the topic.

"Guys, our trip to Rome is coming to an end, and after tomorrow's press conference, we will be heading to Jerusalem to explore the treasures of the Knights Templar."

Before the words fell, there was already a cheer in the living room.

"Great! Exploring the Knights Templar's treasures is exciting to think about!"

"Cool! This eternal mystery will definitely be uncovered by us and cause a sensation in the whole world!"

When the cheers subsided slightly, Ye Tian continued:

"Before that, there's a few more things to do, Jason, tell us a little bit about your situation, how is it going?"

"Okay, Steven"

Jason nodded in response, and then began to explain the situation.

"Today we went to Piazza Venezia, managed to take the target building in the baroque style, signed a contract with the owner of the building, and reached an agreement with the existing tenants.

The Palazzo Venezia Museum also responded, they are willing to sell the two Renaissance style historical buildings, but they still need to negotiate at what price, and they will contact us later."

As he spoke, Jason took out a real estate transaction contract and several other agreement documents from his backpack, and reached out and handed them to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian took the documents and looked through them roughly, then handed them to David and asked David to review them.

He himself turned to look at Jason and smiled:

"Well done! Jason, you stay in Rome, follow up on this, and make sure you take those two Renaissance historic buildings, even if you smash them with money.

Once you've got those two historic buildings and you have successfully obtained the property certificate, you can leave Rome, or return to New York, or join the joint exploration team!"

"Okay, Steven, we'll definitely take the remaining two historic buildings, and when we're done, I'll go to you and join the joint exploration team, how exciting it is, I don't want to miss it!"

Jason nodded in response, his tone very firm and confident.

Next, Ye Tian turned to Anderson again.

"Anderson, I already know the situation in Beijing, so I don't need to introduce you, you have to go to New York again to send the rest of the antiques back to New York, and Matisse will meet you in New York.

With the exception of the sixteen top-quality antiques that have just been sold today, the remaining antiques, although they are also worth a lot, do not make the Italians put them on the list of works of art that are restricted from leaving the country.

There should be no problem leaving Italy with those antique works of art, as long as you pay a completely negligible customs duty on the basis of the purchase price.

Tomorrow morning, Betty will leave Rome on my private jet and return to New York before you, and after you have shipped those antiques to New York, you will fly back on my private jet!"

"No problem, Steven, buddy has become an angel transporting treasures, but unfortunately he doesn't have wings!"

Anderson jokingly said and took on the task.

Next, Ye Tian made some arrangements again, and talked to Matisse and Kenny, who were far away in New York, and assigned some tasks to those guys.

As he spoke, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Suddenly, Cole's voice came through the headphones.

"Steven, there's a little antique dealer who has a stall at the Porte de Botes open-air market who wants to see you, with a few fragments of a statue, and according to the fellow, the mutilated ancient Greek sculpture in your hand was sold to Rossini!

During the body search, I took a look at the statue fragments that guy brought, judging from the marble texture and sculpture style, it really looks like the broken sculpture, and these statue fragments are very impressive!"

Hearing Cole's report, Ye Tian seemed to have a spring under his buttocks, and he jumped up from the sofa with a swish, startling everyone in the living room.

Immediately afterwards, he turned on the miniature microphone of the invisible headset and said excitedly:

"That's great, that's great news, Cole, bring that guy to the conference room, we'll be right over, and remember, don't show your feet, don't let that guy take advantage of the opportunity to ask for a price!"

"Understood, Steven, leave it to us, don't worry!"

Cole answered, and ended the call.

On the side of the living room, Ye Tian briefly explained the situation, and then took David and them out of the guest room and walked quickly towards the conference room, everyone was very excited and full of expectations!

A few minutes later, the group of them arrived at the door of the conference room.

Before entering the conference room, Ye Tian couldn't wait to secretly turn on the perspective and began to explore the situation in the conference room.

As his gaze pierced the wall, he immediately saw an excited, greedy guy sitting at the conference table, looking expectantly at the door of the conference room.

On the long conference table in front of him, there was a half-new metal trolley box, which contained something, and Ye Tian could see it clearly in an instant.

"The upper part of the sexy right leg of the statue of Athena, and the part where the left shoulder joins the neck, as well as several other fragments!"

Seeing these fragments of Athena statues radiating dazzling light, Ye Tian suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy, and even felt a little dizzy.

Happiness comes so violently that people are caught off guard!
