Chapter 1282: Sensational Effect
As Ye Tian expected, because of the famous diamond necklace closely related to the French Revolution, there was an uproar throughout Europe. Everyone who heard the news was stunned.
Next, the eyes of the whole of Europe and even the world focused on Ye Tian, people's eyes were full of all kinds of emotions, envy, jealousy and hatred, everything!
Ye Tian and they broke out of the encirclement, just rushed out of Flender Street, and before they returned to the hotel, some old friends in the field of antique art collection couldn't wait to call.
The first person to call was the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
On the phone, the old friend patted his chest and swore to Ye Tian that as long as he brought the diamond necklace back to New York and transferred it to the Metropolitan Museum, he was allowed to open it on the terms, and he was very generous!
However, Ye Tian did not immediately agree to the other party, nor did he refuse, but just said that he thought about it and prevaricated this old friend.
Immediately after, the National Museum of the United States, MOMA, Sotheby's, Christie's, and many other museum curators and auction house general managers rushed to call!
Each of these guys was very enthusiastic and generous, and they all had the same goal, which was to win the priceless and famous diamond necklace, or to auction it!
For these guys, Ye Tian's response method was the same as before, neither agreeing nor refusing, only saying that he needed to think about it carefully before making a decision.
When the group returned to the hotel, several old guys from the Louvre and Fontainebleau Palace in France finally called, as well as people representing the French government.
These are the calls that Ye Tian really wants to receive, and they are also the objects of his sharpening knives and preparing to slaughter!
Since Betty hadn't made a decision yet, Ye Tian didn't mention exchanging these Queen Mary's top jewelry pieces for heavyweight Chinese antique artworks when talking to these guys.
He only told the other party that he had not yet figured out what to do with these top jewels of Queen Mary, and if he decided to transfer them, he would give priority to the Louvre and the Château de Fontainebleau, leaving a little hope for the other party!
As for the French government's claim that these top jewels of Queen Mary belong to France, belong to the French people, and must be returned to France! Ye Tian turned a deaf ear and didn't bother to take care of it at all!
These top-notch jewels used to belong to France and were bought with the hard-earned money of the French people, but that was more than 200 years ago!
At this moment, these priceless top jewelry belong to Lao Tzu and are Lao Tzu's private property.
As soon as Ye Tian and the others returned to the hotel, this small five-star hotel was completely overwhelmed by the countless media reporters who came to hear the news, and it became extremely lively and noisy!
But it's a pity that these media reporters never saw Ye Tian and them again, let alone the legendary diamond necklace that was closely related to the French Revolution!
As for going to the floor where Ye Tian and the others lived, and looking for an opportunity to interview Ye Tian, it was simply impossible.
Mattis led those heavily armed security personnel, who had already guarded the floor where Ye Tian lived, and those high-alert armed security personnel were enough to discourage anyone!
Due to the special situation, Ye Tian and the others even ate dinner in the presidential suite, and they didn't leave the presidential suite for half a step, nor did they give those guys who were guarding outside a chance!
After leaving Flender Street, Brother Zhang and his family said goodbye and left, escorted by two armed security personnel arranged by Ye Tian, and returned to the hotel where they were staying.
Back at the hotel, they quickly packed their luggage, and then took their daughter straight to Brussels International Airport, took the first flight, and flew directly back to Beijing!
At around half past five in the afternoon, Raytheon's new ten armed security personnel, three Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs, and a medium-sized helicopter finally arrived in Brussels and joined the security team!
As Ye Tian requested, these security personnel are all well-grounded and innocent, and all of them are from various special forces of the US military, which is trustworthy!
At the same time, under Mattis's arrangement, the surveillance operation against the Ghent father and son was also quietly launched, and it went very smoothly!
Every move of the Belgian antique crook is in Matisse's field of vision, and there is no secret at all!
Tristan in the United States, Kenny and Byrne, who had just left New York Harbor on the deep-sea salvage ship Intrepid, and relevant technicians from Raytheon, also took action.
The target of their monitoring is the whereabouts of those famous jewelry thieves in the world, especially those famous jewelry thieves in Europe, which are the focus of attention!
In fact, as Ye Tian expected, as soon as the news of his discovery of those top-grade jewelry pieces came out, almost all the jewelry thieves were in an uproar!
Some of them, blinded by greed, immediately packed up and set off, dreaming of a windfall, and went straight to Brussels!
What awaits them? It is certainly not the dazzling pieces of fine jewelry, but the hot bullets!
In the midst of the entanglement, the day finally passed.
......
In the blink of an eye, it was a new day, and the sun was shining, just like Ye Tian's mood.
After getting up early in the morning and washing up, Ye Tian changed into a casual summer dress and strolled to Betty's side.
At this time, Betty, wearing a long white dress and those top jewelry that originally belonged to Queen Mary, was admiring herself in the mirror, constantly changing postures and angles, and her face was full of obsessive expressions.
Ye Tian did not interrupt this beautiful scene, but stood aside, smiling, quietly admiring the beautiful woman in front of him!
After a few moments, Betty woke up from her obsession and immediately started to sigh.
"My dear, these jewels of Queen Mary are so beautiful, so luxurious! they are so beautiful and incomparably beautiful that every woman is mad for them!"
When she said this, Betty's eyes were as bright as those diamonds!
Seeing that Betty had come to her senses, Ye Tian immediately stepped forward, gently hugged her into his arms, and said gently:
"Beloved, since you like these jewels so much, leave them, and from now on, these top jewels will be your private treasure, which will be the envy of other women to death!
You can also wear these top-of-the-line jewelry pieces to our wedding in early October, and I'm sure it's the most extravagant set of jewelry ever seen on the American continent!"
Betty gently stroked the diamond necklace around her neck, then shook her head reluctantly and said:
"You're right, my dear, this is a very luxurious and beautiful set of fine jewelry, and I love them very much!
But I don't plan to keep them, and I don't want to wear them at weddings, they are so historically significant that they should be in a museum rather than a private collection!
In addition, you are Chinese, your parents, grandparents, and other immediate relatives are all traditional Chinese, and our marriage ceremony must take care of their feelings.
These fine pieces of jewelry, while extremely precious and beautiful, can be said to be unique!, but their meaning is not very good, and there have been too many bloody killings around them.
You Chinese pay attention to a good omen in everything, since I want to marry you and become your wife, then I have to consider this aspect of things, and I can't act completely according to my personal preferences!
Besides, Queen Mary's fine jewelry collection is so famous that it will attract a lot of attention, and if I made it a private collection, I would definitely get into a lot of trouble!
I don't want to see that, so I'm not going to collect this set of fine jewelry, I've seen it and owned it, I've worn it and admired it carefully, and I don't regret it!
It's up to you to decide what to do with these top-notch jewelry, or exchange them with some famous museums, or send them to auction houses, whatever!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Indeed, these top jewels of Queen Mary, the smell of blood on them is too strong! God knows how many people have died around them! They are indeed not suitable for a wedding!
Since you have no intention of collecting these fine jewelry, I'm going to trade them for the Louvre or the Château de Fontainebleau, which have a lot of heavyweight Chinese antiques!
We're going to Antwerp in a minute, and I'll be sure to win the Fancy Vivid blue diamond that appeared at the Antwerp jewellery and diamond auction today, 'Oppenheimer's Blue',......"
As the two were talking, Matisse's voice suddenly came through the headphones.
"Steven, the ambassador and cultural counsellor of the French embassy in Brussels are downstairs at the hotel, and they want to meet you, will you meet them?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking and raised his hand to look at the time.
Then he turned on the microphone of the invisible headset and said to Matisse:
"Let them wait in the café downstairs of the hotel, and when we leave the hotel later, I'll just meet them, and I know very well why those guys are here.
Inform all the guys, after breakfast, we will leave the hotel and go directly to Antwerp, it is conceivable that this road will not be peaceful, so everyone must be vigilant!"
"Understood, Steven, I'll inform you to prepare, you can rest assured of the security situation on the road, and no one wants to take advantage of us!"
Mattis replied in a deep voice, and then went into action.
