I'm leaving Milan today, but there's one more thing to do before I leave.

Approaching 10 a.m., the invited guests arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel and entered a medium-sized conference room on Ye Tian's floor.

This small conference room gathered more than a dozen of the top Italian and French experts in antique art, as well as a group of Italian officials led by the Minister of Culture, Gianno.

In addition, there are several Italian super-rich people present, such as Maria and Berlusconi, who Ye Tian publicly named before, as well as their art dealers and antique art appraisal experts.

Of course, the occasion could not have been without the presence of the Italian gendarme, who came from Giovanni and two of his men, sitting with the officials of the Italian Ministry of Culture.

In addition to them, there are also journalists from several well-known news outlets, mainly American and Italian, who are invited here!

Then there are the consuls of the U.S. Embassy in Milan, as well as the cultural counsellor and legal staff.

Without exception, everyone in this room was very excited and full of anticipation!

Especially those Italians, who were so excited that they couldn't sit still, they kept looking at their watches, and then turned their heads to look at the door of the conference room, looking for it!

"Why hasn't this guy Steven come yet, doesn't he have to wait until ten o'clock to show up? Is that necessary? I can't wait a minute."

"I really want to see that Lisa Gladini right away, if that painting is really Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, it will definitely be one of the most important artistic discoveries in the last half century"

With the buzz of these guys in the conference room, time is ticking by.

When the time came to ten o'clock in the morning, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and Ye Tian walked into the conference room with Betty, both of whom had bright smiles on their faces.

In Ye Tian's right hand, he was carrying a silver-gray titanium alloy portable safe, which was very eye-catching.

Followed by Anderson and Cole, as well as two well-known local lawyers in Milan, and several security guards under Ye Tian.

Entering the conference room, Ye Tian first greeted and shook hands with everyone on the scene one by one, introduced himself to each other, and got to know each other.

After going through the procedures on these scenes, everyone sat down one after another, and then he got to the point.

He walked to his seat, glanced at the crowd quickly, and then said aloud with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Four Seasons Hotel for this treasure appraisal, I'm Steven, and it's a pleasure to meet you here and to be with all of you.

Today's theme is to give an authoritative appraisal of an oil painting I found and bought at the Milan Canal Antique Market, Lisa Gradini.

On the day I discovered this oil painting, I made a public appraisal and confirmed that it was an authentic work by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three masters of Renaissance art and a master of art, and its artistic value was no less than that of the Mona Lisa.

But this is just my personal opinion, my own opinion, I think it is very accurate, there is no doubt, but the rest of my peers and many members of the public may not agree with the conclusion I gave.

It is for this reason that I invite you to come to the Four Seasons Hotel to appreciate and appraise this classical oil painting to confirm the appraisal conclusions I gave at that time.

Everyone here is either the top antique art appraisal experts, or famous top collectors, or officials from relevant authorities, and their eyes must be very sharp!

After your appraisal, there should be an authoritative conclusion on whether this classical oil painting is the authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci and what its artistic value is, and it will be recognized by everyone."

As soon as he said this, there were already people at the scene who couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't wait to interrupt Ye Tian's words.

"Steven, take out that Lisa Gradini and let everyone enjoy it, we've been waiting for this moment for a long time, and we're going to go completely crazy if we continue to suffer."

Obviously, this is the voice of everyone on the scene except Ye Tian and them, and everyone else immediately responded in groups, and they all showed impatience!

Ye Tian looked at the colleague who interrupted his conversation, glanced at everyone at the scene, and then raised his hands and pressed down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to smile and said loudly:

"I understand very much that if we change places, I will definitely be more urgent than you, it is comparable to the original work of Leonardo da Vinci in "Mona Lisa".

However, before Lisa Gradini can be brought out for you to admire and appraisal, there is still some preparation to be done and some precautions to be reminded, and it will not be possible to delay for a few minutes."

At this point, he immediately nodded to Cole next to him, signaling that he could start.

Cole nodded in response, and then sprang into action.

The next second, the door to the conference room opened again, and two security personnel walked in, each with a solid wood easel and a box, and began to set it up.

At the same time, Ye Tian also picked up the stubble just now, and continued to say aloud:

"Lisa Gladini is more than 500 years old, and for more than 100 years it has been hidden under two layers of canvas, both the canvas and the surface paint, which are somewhat fragile.

In view of this, it is necessary for me to remind everyone that in the process of appreciation and identification, everyone must wear gloves and can observe closely, but do not touch them to avoid accidents.

After discovering this oil painting, I removed it from the original drawing board, and it turned out that under this oil painting, I found a sketch of Leonardo da Vinci's oil painting, which we can identify together.

In order to preserve and display the painting, I took a portion of the original black walnut panel and used it as a canvas for the painting, nailing Lisa Gladini to the new panel.

In order to protect this oil painting, the canvas of this oil painting will no longer be removed in the following appraisal process, that is, you will not be able to see the back of this oil painting today.

Okay, that's all there is to say, now you can enjoy and appraise this painting, as for the appraisal results, I am very sure that there is no difference between the appraisal results and the appraisal results I gave."

After speaking, Ye Tian picked up the titanium alloy portable safe and put it on the conference table in front of him.

Then, under the burning gaze of everyone at the scene, he quickly opened the portable safe and took out the Lisa Gladini and the sketches of the creation one by one, covered in primary linen.

On the other side, the easel for displaying the painting has also been placed, and all the tools used to identify the oil painting have been placed on the conference table.

Then, Ye Tian took the classical oil painting out of his seat, walked to the easel, and gently placed "Lisa Gladini" on the easel.

The next second, he carefully uncovered the primary linen that covered the painting, revealing the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci below to everyone in the conference room.

At this moment, this medium-sized conference room immediately boiled.

"Wow! This is Lisa Gradini, the characters in the painting look very similar to the Mona Lisa, but they are not the same person, they should be from the same family!"

"This painting is so beautiful, the use of the 'fading method' is perfect, if this is really the real work of Leonardo da Vinci, it can undoubtedly solve many unsolved mysteries that shroud the Mona Lisa!"

In the midst of the exclamation, almost everyone in the room sprang out of their seats and rushed to the mesmerizing painting.

Fortunately, Ye Tian had already expected this to happen and had already made arrangements in advance.

These guys who came in the surging were stopped by Cole and them in a blink of an eye, and they could only line up, put on the prepared white gloves, and come forward to visit and identify in an orderly manner.

Next, the top antique art experts, top collectors, and others from Italy and France were fascinated by the painting.

And as time went by, more and more evidence was found on the paintings, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more enthusiastic, and some antique art experts were even excited to the point of madness!

As for the appraisal results, needless to say, of course, they are the same as the appraisal conclusions given by Ye Tian.

In the blink of an eye, it was about 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

Those antique art appraisal experts are still immersed in Leonardo da Vinci's "Lisa Gradini", and they can't extricate themselves, and they can't stop talking, but Ye Tian has already been surrounded by several Italian super-rich people!

"Steven, I'm going to have this Lisa Gradini, make an offer, it will be a family heirloom for us, and it will be the pride and pricelessness of the whole of Milan!"

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said eagerly, full of anticipation.

As soon as the words fell, Maria next to her said:

"Silvio, your family has collected a lot of top art, this Lisa Gradini should be given to our Ferrero family, I will register it as a chocolate trademark and sell it all over the world!"

Not to be outdone, several other super-rich people made requests to buy them, and everyone was very generous.

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, then glanced at these super-rich people, smiled and said loudly:

"Maria, Silvio, and a few other gentlemen, don't worry, I haven't thought about the price of this Lisa Gradini yet, so I won't sell it for the time being!

But it won't be long before I'll be announcing the valuation of this top art, and I'll be holding a private auction and inviting you to participate to give everyone a fair chance to compete.

If nothing else, this private auction will be held in Rome, and this afternoon we will leave Milan for a visit to Rome, so you can wait for my news, no need to worry!"

Hearing this, several Italian super-rich people couldn't help but flash a look of disappointment in their eyes, and then a raging flame ignited, everyone was high-spirited, looking like they were all about it!

The Italian Minister of Culture, Tiano, and Giovanni, who were standing a little farther away, couldn't help but change their faces when they heard these words, and they became very ugly!

It is conceivable that from this afternoon onwards, Rome will not be at peace.

As for the antique art market in Rome, it must be tragically ransacked by the bastard Steven, just as the antique art markets in Florence and Milan have experienced!
