Chapter 1391 The Boiling Crowd
Albert was right!
During the following visit, Ye Tian found nothing, even if he found a very good antique that was ignored by the antique shopkeeper, he didn't succeed!
The reason for this situation is no other reason, all the gallerists and antique shop owners in Barbizon regard him as a flood beast, and they are strictly guarded one by one!
No matter what antique artwork he has his eye on, as long as it is not a modern artwork that is instantly recognizable, all gallerists and antique shop owners will offer a staggering price that kills the topic in an instant!
Some guys are even more excessive, they are very welcome to visit Ye Tian in their gallery or antique shop, and keep asking him to comment on the antique artworks in the store, but they are determined not to do his business!
Even if you miss out on a lot of money because of this, these guys will not hesitate to do it!
Obviously, no one wants to follow in Albert's footsteps and become another unlucky guy who was madly ransacked by Ye Tian, and become the object of ridicule by peers in the industry!
The tragic image of Albert who was loveless is enough to make everyone feel sympathy and take warning!
After going in and out of two or three galleries and antique shops in succession, Ye Tian also understood that it was almost impossible for him to pick up leaks in Barbizon again!
The guys who set up shop here just think of themselves as free top experts, but they are strict against themselves, lest they be picked up by themselves.
After understanding this situation, Ye Tian stopped making a move.
He turned into a real tourist, taking Betty and her sisters around Barbizon, admiring the beautiful scenery and many antique artworks, very leisurely!
In the process, even if he finds something, he will quietly keep that antique work of art in his heart, and then leave as if nothing had happened, and move on to the next gallery or antique shop!
In two days at most, a Texas cowboy will visit Barbizon and ransack it again as a tourist!
That Texas cowboy is none other than Ye Tian's old friend and his shadow, Bowie!
It wasn't until it was nearly nine o'clock in the evening and the sun was setting that Ye Tian and the others left the Barbizon village and returned to Paris by car with that outstanding painting by Gauguin!
At this time, Paris was already shaken again because of the Gauguin painting that had never appeared, and everyone's eyes were focused on that painting and on Ye Tian!
While people were fascinated by "Suzanne of Dance", everyone's eyes were full of envy, even jealousy, and they hated to replace Ye Tian, without exception!
When Ye Tian and his motorcade bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun and drove into the city of Paris again, several news interview vehicles immediately followed up and began to track and broadcast live!
The people on the streets of Paris, and in front of countless televisions, were watching the heavy motorcade whizzing past the streets of Paris, and everyone was talking about it.
"Wow! Steven, the lucky bastard, is back in Paris, God loves this bastard so much, all the good things fall on his head, and no one else gets even a hair!
It was a painting at the peak of Gauguin, and it was a gift to his lover Susanna, worth at least tens of millions of euros, even if it was auctioned for hundreds of millions of euros, it was normal, and it actually fell into the hands of this bastard!"
"This is a very fortunate bastard, and I strongly recommend that the French government expel this bastard from the country, and never allow him to come to France or set foot in Paris again!
If I let this bastard stay in Paris any longer, I am very afraid that this bastard will loot Paris and France and take all the good things into his own pocket!"
Amidst the disturbing discussions, Ye Tian and his convoy quickly passed through the beautiful streets, and finally returned to the Regina Hotel in the 1st arrondissement of Paris at dusk!
As soon as the convoy arrived on the street where the hotel was located, Ye Tian saw from afar that the entrance of the hotel was already surrounded by media reporters, with countless long guns and short cannons, and the scene was very lively!
In addition to the many media reporters, he also met a lot of old friends, Martinez and them, several famous French art collectors, and some top antique art experts.
In addition, there are several well-known contemporary artists and art critics!
These guys gathered together and were talking in a whispered voice, everyone's expression was extremely excited, and everyone's eyes were full of envy!
Of course, there are also a lot of people here, including Parisian citizens, tourists, and some art lovers!
A little farther away, outside the cordon drawn by the police, Ye Tian saw the banners of the protest demonstration again.
Obviously, the fed French college students are back and continue to protest in vain, although their demands have changed, asking Ye Tian to keep the French baby in France!
Seeing Ye Tian and their convoy coming, the crowd gathered at the door of the hotel immediately became agitated, and everyone turned their heads to look at this side!
The reporters standing in front of them took a big step and rushed towards the convoy quickly, everyone like a sprinter, trying to grab the first opportunity to ask a question.
Fortunately, there were many Parisian police and hotel security personnel at the scene who were responsible for maintaining order, so that these crazy guys did not rush to the front of the convoy and block the moving wheels.
In the blink of an eye, the convoy had reached the entrance of the hotel and slowly stopped.
"Steven, don't get out of the car first, the situation at the door of the hotel is a bit complicated, let's get out of the car first to check the situation, and after making sure that the scene is safe, you can get out of the car!"
Matisse's voice came through the headphones, very discreetly.
"Okay, Matisse, I also saw that the situation at the door of the hotel is indeed a bit complicated, there are too many people, and I will not be interviewed by the media later.
You lead the guys out of a safe passage, and after getting out of the car, let's go straight to the hotel, and as for the French guys in Martinez, just let them go upstairs!"
Ye Tian responded and quickly made arrangements.
"Okay, Steven, I know what to do"
Mattis answered, immediately notified many security personnel, and opened the doors and got out of the car.
At this time, the entrance of the Regina Hotel has become more lively, and everyone is staring at this heavy convoy, their eyes are hot and full of anticipation!
In particular, the media reporters scrambled to ask loud questions, all related to Gauguin's painting!
It's a pity that they didn't know that Ye Tian was sitting in that bulletproof SUV, so they could only ask questions blindly, wasting their feelings in vain.
After getting out of the car, Matisse and the others quickly set up a cordon, vigilantly watching the situation at the door of the hotel, isolating everyone, including the Parisian police who maintained order at the scene!
After confirming that the scene was safe, Mattis notified Ye Tian and asked them to get out of the car.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian reached out to open the car door, took Betty out of the Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUV, and got off the station on the ground in front of the hotel.
At this time, he had a bright smile on his face, holding Betty in his left hand and a telescopic painting tube behind him, which were two oil paintings by Suzanne and Gauguin!
As soon as he got out of the car and appeared at the door of the hotel, the scene immediately boiled.
"Good evening, Steven, I'm a reporter for Le Figaro, if it's hot, can you tell me how you discovered Suzanne the Dancer?
"Good evening, Steven, I'm a reporter for France 2, can you show me that Gauguin painting, "Suzanne in Dance"?
In addition to many media reporters, other people at the scene were also clamoring, asking Ye Tian to show the Gauguin masterpiece that was discovered for the first time, everyone wanted to see that top artwork with their own eyes!
Those guys who protested and demonstrated a little farther away naturally couldn't let go of such an opportunity, and they were shouting loudly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!
"Steven, you are a shameless robber, leave behind the national treasure of France, go back to New York, Paris does not welcome you such a greedy bastard!"
"Gauguin's French!" "Susanna of the Dance" belongs to France, to all the French people, not to you, Steven, you greedy bastard!"
Regarding the reporters' questions, the noise of the onlookers, and those tiresome noises, Ye Tian didn't bother to pay attention to them at all, and he didn't care about them!
After getting off the station, he quickly glanced at the scene, waved his hand politely, and then, under the escort of Matisse and them, walked straight into the door of the hotel, leaving everyone outside!
When he walked into the hotel door, he turned his head to look at Martinez not far away, and made a phone gesture to contact him, and pointed upwards again!
Immediately after, the group disappeared from the door of the hotel and disappeared from people's sight!
"Hey!"
A sigh of disappointment rang out at the door of the hotel, but there was envy in every voice.
As the protest object disappeared, the protest voice in the distance suddenly decreased a lot.
At this time, everyone at the door of the hotel knew in their hearts that the high-heeled masterpiece that appeared for the first time and had special significance would soon be goodbye to France!
