Chapter 1772 refuses to cooperate

After the auction is over, it's time for David to put on a show.

Together with Maria's personal lawyer, he quickly signed the auction confirmation and agreed on the official delivery of Lisa Gradini, which was tomorrow morning.

Ye Tian chatted with Maria for a while, and then asked Betty to continue to accompany the super financier and the richest man in Italy, while he walked over to the Italian Minister of Culture, Tiano and Giovanni.

When he came to stand up, he immediately smiled and said:

"Biano, Giovanni, I believe that this is what you would like to see the most, Lisa Gladini is left in Italy, you don't have to worry about the exodus of this priceless treasure, everyone is happy!

As soon as the delivery is completed, this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci will become a signature of the Ferrero company and Maria's private collection, and what she does with this priceless treasure is none of my business!"

Hearing this, Tiano and Giovanni nodded in unison, both of them feeling a sense of relief.

But they are still a little sour in their hearts, how perfect it would be if they won "Lisa Gradini"! It will be the most memorable moment of their lives!

As for envy, jealousy and hatred, not to mention, these two guys' eyes are red and bloody, they have both red eyes and red eyes.

With the priceless treasure of "Lisa Gradini" on one side and the astronomical three billion euros on the other, can it not make people go crazy!

"Congratulations, Steven, you guy has made a lot of money again, who would have thought that "Lisa Gradini" would be able to fetch three billion euros, such a shocking sky-high price, it's crazy!

Through this private auction of yours, we have opened our eyes, and at the same time, we have deeply realized how greedy you are, definitely more than ten times more greedy than the legend!"

Tiano said with emotion, his eyes full of fear.

Giovanni, who was standing next to him, and a few other guys around him, nodded in unison, obviously agreeing.

"Hahaha, Tiano, just like you're complimenting me, it's not that I'm greedy, but that Lisa Gradini is really worth the money, and this price is even low, which doesn't fully reflect its true value"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his expression was smug.

Seeing his performance, everyone at the scene was depressed, and they were almost crazy with envy.

Without waiting for Tiano to respond, Ye Tian changed the topic.

"Biano, when I was in the Roman Forum, I told Giovanni that I wanted to work with the Italian Ministry of Culture and the Commission for the Preservation of Historical Heritage to explore the various historical sites in the city of Rome.

I wonder if Giovanni has reported to you about this, and if so, what is the attitude of your Ministry of Culture and the Committee for the Preservation of Historical Heritage, and if you would like to cooperate with me in exploring Rome?"

This is the real purpose of Ye Tian's coming, otherwise how could he have the heart to deal with Tiano and Giovanni, there are so many old friends and so many financiers on the scene!

With his words, there was immediately a small commotion at the scene.

Everyone nearby looked at Ye Tian in surprise, their eyes full of incredulity, and they even wondered if they had heard it wrong just now.

Steven's greed is endless, as he is eyeing the historical sites all over Rome and the treasures that may be buried deep in the depths of Rome's beneath!

Could it be that Rome will be like Paris, Milan, Florence, and almost every city that the bastard Steven has visited, and it will be madly ransacked by this bastard?

Next, Tiano's answer immediately made everyone on the scene understand that he had not heard it wrong.

Tiano took a deep look at Ye Tian, and then said with a solemn face:

"Steven, did you find something in the ruins of the Roman Forum, or elsewhere in Rome? Is it a treasure buried deep underground, or is it a top-notch antique?" Can you tell us?"

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, glanced at the curious guys around him, and then shook his head with a smile and said:

"You think too much, Tiano, I didn't find any treasures, Rome is an ancient city with a long history, full of ancient buildings and historical sites from various periods.

Moreover, there were many wars in the history of Rome, and it is reasonable to assume that there must have been many hidden treasures or antiques in the city of Rome, which were either hidden in buildings or buried deep underground.

Long before I left for Italy, I had the idea that I would work with you to explore the treasures of Rome and perhaps discover something as priceless as Lisa Gradini.

My terms of cooperation are very simple, I will bear all the exploration costs, you are responsible for coordinating the various relationships, and if you are lucky enough to find a treasure or antique artwork, we will divide it evenly according to its value!"

"Oh my God, did I hear me right? That's an exaggeration!"

"Steven's rhythm is going to sweep through Rome, and his appetite is amazing!"

There was an exclamation at the scene, and everyone, without exception, was frightened by Ye Tian's words and his shocking appetite.

Of course, many of the top collectors on the scene had their eyes shining and they saw the opportunity to collect top antique art.

Tiano shook his head very firmly, and said with a gloomy face:

"Steven, Giovanni has already reported to our Italian Ministry of Culture and the Historical Heritage Committee on your request for cooperation in the exploration of the various ruins in the city of Rome, and we are unlikely to agree to it.

It is impossible for you to want half of the treasure you have found, not to mention us, and it is impossible for any Italian to agree to your own thoughts, otherwise he would be a sinner of the nation.

There is only one way to cooperate with us in exploring the treasures of the city of Rome, and you Intrepid Explorers have accepted our offer to carry out a search under the strict supervision of our personnel.

If you do find any treasure or antique art, everything goes to Italy, and all you get for the exploration company is the agreed remuneration and the corresponding rewards.

There's no other way to cooperate, so Steven, are you okay with that? If you can accept it, then we can explore the possibility of cooperation."

This time it was Ye Tian's turn to shake his head, he shook his head with a smile and said:

"Accept your offer to explore the treasures in Rome? I can't accept this kind of cooperation, and at all times, I want to be able to take the initiative and never be controlled by others!

Besides, I prefer the treasures and antiques and the pleasure of discovering them, compared to which money is not important to me, but just a pile of paper!"

Hearing this, everyone at the scene rolled their eyes angrily and complained secretly.

Money is just a pile of paper to you? Whoever believes in it is stupid!

Who was standing on the auction table just now, talking about lotus flowers, trying his best to trick everyone into raising their hands to ask for the price? Isn't it you, or are we not it?

Ye Tian saw the reactions of everyone at the scene, and none of them were missed.

But as if he hadn't seen it, he continued to smile and say:

"Tiano, do you want to think again, cooperate with us to explore the ruins of the city of Rome, and maybe we can discover a great treasure and surprise the world!

I'm very confident in this, and of course, the basis of our cooperation is that we will lead the exploration on my terms, and distribute the treasure according to the conditions I propose!

If you refuse to cooperate, it is likely that the hidden treasures of Rome will continue to sleep, and some of them may never see the light of day, which is a shame!"

Tiano shook his head again and said categorically:

"Then let them continue to sleep! they are in Rome anyway, and Rome will always belong to Italy, and one day the Romans will discover those sleeping treasures and let them shine again!

Rome is an ancient city and will always stand on Italian soil, and we are not in a hurry to discover and excavate all the sleeping treasures, so we might as well leave them to posterity!

I must warn you, Steven, that if you want to explore the treasures in the city of Rome, you must get official permission, otherwise it is illegal, and we will not sit idly by!"

"It seems that we have no possibility of working together, what a pity! This is the only bad news I heard tonight, disappointing!"

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and said with a pretended regret.

As he said this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

So you want to stop your buddy from exploring the treasures in Rome, and dream about it! It won't be long before your buddy will give you a series of big surprises!

After chatting a few more words, Ye Tian turned around and left, walking towards Betty's side.

By the time he walked up to Betty, he had just taken a foothold, and David had also taken care of the auction confirmation and other relevant documents.

After that, everyone left the room, left the Vatican Museums, and went to another building in the Vatican Gardens for a reception.

No one wants to miss the big reception that follows.

In addition to the many super-rich and top collectors invited to the auction, many high-ranking clergy from the Vatican will also attend, and perhaps the Pope will also attend!

Who would want to miss such a high-level drinking party!

Of course, all the expenses of this drinking party are paid by Ye Tian!
