After two rounds of talks and bargaining over and over again, Intrepid Explorers and the Met finally came to an agreement.

Ye Tian took over all the Dunhuang scriptures in the Metropolitan Museum's collection, as well as the priceless and outstanding representative work of the famous Tang Dynasty painter Han Gan, "Illuminating the Night White Picture", and some other top Chinese antique artworks.

Of course, not everything went his way.

Some of the top Chinese antiques that he had included in his eyes and were ready to collect ended up missing out on him and stayed at the Met.

For example, the priceless bronze ban of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the famous painter Li Tang of the Southern Song Dynasty "The Restoration of the Kingdom of Jin Wen" and other top antique artworks have been replaced by other antique artworks.

Even so, his harvest was quite rich, and the Metropolitan Museum, like the British Museum and the Louvre, was slaughtered by him.

He paid for medieval antiques and religious objects from the Knights Templar's treasures.

In fact, because of the special significance of those objects and their strong religious overtones, he had no intention of keeping them in his possession at all, and it was impossible for him to display them in his private exhibition halls and museums.

That is to say, those special antique relics and religious items will be traded by him sooner or later, and the sooner the transaction time, the better, so as not to have many dreams at night, and there will be many people staring at those things.

Trading them for the best Chinese antiques that have been lost overseas for a long time is the best option to maximize their value.

The other side of the deal, the Metropolitan Museum, naturally got what it wanted.

They traded for a large collection of top-quality antiques and religious objects from the Middle Ages, from the Holy Land of Jerusalem, which the Metropolitan Museum has coveted for a long time.

With this transaction, the Met has successfully made up for its shortcomings in the collection and research of European medieval antiques, and has improved its overall strength and become more diverse.

In particular, the Metropolitan Museum's branch, the Abbey, a museum in Ford Tryon Park, can be called a shotgun exchange.

In the future, they will hold daily medieval concerts, which will surely attract more attention, and the medieval antiques displayed in the exhibition halls will also attract more tourists.

After reaching an agreement, the legal teams of both parties quickly drafted the transaction contract.

In the afternoon, Intrepid Explorers and the Met held a joint press conference in one of the Met's large conference rooms.

At this joint press conference, Ye Tian and Thomas officially announced the heavyweight art deal on behalf of both parties.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them signed their respective names on the art transaction contract, forming a legally binding document.

Not surprisingly, the final word on this heavyweight art deal has caused a huge stir in the world of antique art collecting.

This is especially true in New York, where the whole city is in a stir and everyone is blown away.

Not to mention China, the first time I received the news, the domestic antique art collection field was jubilant, and it was more lively than the New Year.

Here in New York, less than ten minutes after Ye Tian signed his name on the art transaction contract, he received a confirmation call from Shan Lao, followed by Ma Ye, the curator of the National Museum and others.

Without exception, these big names in the field of domestic antique art collection seem to be a little unable to believe their ears and wonder if they have heard it wrong, this is just fake news!

For them, these days are like a dream, and happiness comes too violently, one after another, which makes people unprepared!

On the phone, Ye Tian told these old men with great certainty that this heavyweight art deal was indeed true, and that he had indeed traded a lot of top Chinese antique artworks from the Metropolitan Museum.

Moreover, this art transaction contract has begun to be executed, and the exchange of antique artworks between the two parties has begun!

Hearing his words, the old men were stunned for a moment, and then they cheered, and they were all excited and ecstatic, like children!

Of course, in the United States, in New York, there is still a lot of noise.

Many people think that the Metropolitan Museum of Art has suffered a big loss and has been ransacked by Ye Tian, just like he ransacked those cultural and museum institutions in Britain and France not long ago.

This is already people's inherent impression, as long as it is the art transaction that Ye Tian participates in, people will instinctively think that the other party to the transaction must have been looted and slaughtered!

For these boring noises that can't eat foxes saying that grapes are sour, Ye Tian doesn't bother to care about it at all, who can bite me?

But the Metropolitan Museum of Art can't be so free, they made a special explanation on the museum's official website, and compared the antique artworks that the two sides took out to trade.

From the perspective of market value, this art transaction is undoubtedly very fair, and no one suffers, and naturally no one takes advantage.

Because of the different positions, people have different views.

In New York, in the eyes of most people in the United States, the Metropolitan Museum of Art seems to be the one who takes advantage.

Those antique artifacts and religious objects from the Middle Ages, from the Holy Land of Jerusalem, are obviously recognized by more people, and people are more aware of their value.

It's another thing to change places!

In China, in the eyes of the Chinese, Ye Tian undoubtedly ransacked the Metropolitan Museum.

The top Chinese antiques and artworks that he exchanged for a long time that have been lost overseas for a long time are obviously more valuable, symbolizing the brilliant Chinese civilization.

The Metropolitan Museum's explanation shows that most of the noise has been successfully silenced, and although there are still some remnants, it is irrelevant.

After the joint press conference, the two parties began to fulfill the contract and execute the transaction.

When he left the Metropolitan Museum that afternoon, Ye Tian took with him several top-notch Chinese antique artworks, which were several bronzes, each of which was a national treasure.

Immediately afterward, he deposited the priceless treasures in the underground vault of Sotheby's auction house, and brought them back to China when he returned home.

The Met Museum of Art received a collection of religious objects of special significance.

Among them are golden crosses, communion cups, golden candlesticks, gilded icons, and more, each of which comes from the Knights Templar's treasures and from the Holy Land of Jerusalem.

After receiving these special religious items, the Metropolitan Museum of Art immediately organized top antique art experts to identify these religious items one by one, and used modern testing technology to determine the age!

Needless to say, there is not a single fake, and each of these religious objects is of special significance and value!

Next, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the director of the monastery, happily brought back these religious items, replacing the previous ruinous and full of broken things!

When a new day arrives, the massive art trade between Intrepid Explorers and the Metropolitan Museum of Art really begins.

After breakfast in the early morning, just walked out of the door of the apartment building, and many media reporters who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately rushed up like a tide and tried to interview Ye Tian.

Ye Tian didn't bother to respond to these media reporters, he and Betty went straight to the car, and then under the protection of Mattis, they went straight to the company located in the Rockefeller Center.

Their motortrip had barely driven up Fifth Avenue when Matisse's voice came through the invisible headphones.

"Steven, in the back of our convoy, in addition to the police vehicles and the vehicles of many news media, there are also some social vehicles of unknown origin, and there are many guys sitting in those cars.

According to Cole and Kenny, there are several familiar faces that have been followed in France and England, some from the mafia, some from certain religious organizations.

Not only is there a little more tail in the back, but Central Park is also very lively today, although the weather is cold, there are many people exercising in Central Park, and many of them are near the Metropolitan Museum."

Hearing the report, Ye Tian immediately sneered and said:

"Tell the guys to be on guard and ready to fight, these guys are obviously not good at coming, and when they were in Europe, they simply did not find a chance to rob because of the heavy security.

What people didn't expect was that these guys actually came to New York with them, and they really had a bit of perseverance, but unfortunately they used it in the wrong place, they had better not act rashly, otherwise they will wait to go to hell!"

"Understood, Steven, I'm going to tell the guys to be vigilant and get ready to notify the New York police?

"Of course, I have to inform the police, and let the New York police also make a difference, otherwise the huge donations I gave to the police will be in vain, but now is not the time, and when the time comes, I will tell you."

As he spoke, Ye Tian and his heavy convoy had already whizzed past the gate of the Metropolitan Museum and headed straight for Midtown Manhattan.
