Chapter 1773 Morse Code
Just when Ye Tian and the others were enjoying the joy of wine and food, and tasting the joy of harvest, the news that "Lisa Gradini" was sold at an astonishing price of 3 billion euros has spread throughout Italy and even the world!
When people hear or see this news on the Internet, they can hardly believe their eyes or ears, and wonder if they are dreaming, which is crazy!
This is an indisputable fact, and it was confirmed by a public statement by Ferrero in a blink of an eye, and Ferrero also took this opportunity to make some publicity and earn enough eyeballs!
In this statement from Ferrero, they not only confirmed that Maria did indeed shoot "Lisa Gradini", but also announced that they will develop a series of high-end products with "Lisa Gradini" as their signature.
In addition, they also announced that once the closing procedures are successfully completed, the public exhibition time of "Lisa Gladini" will be appropriately extended to meet the wishes of all art lovers and ordinary visitors.
Ferrero's operation has won a lot of goodwill and praise for their company, and applause everywhere!
The world was shaken by the news that Lisa Gradini had been sold for three billion euros, which was confirmed by Ferrero's statement!
Almost everyone who heard the news was stunned and began to scream wildly, and some guys were even stimulated to sleepless all night!
After a night of fermentation, when the sun rises again and a new day arrives, the news is like an unprecedented huge tsunami, madness sweeps through every corner of the world.
Next, everyone's eyes looked at the Vatican, at the "Lisa Gradini" hanging in the exhibition hall of the Vatican Museums, at Ye Tian, who made three billion euros, and at Maria, the richest man in Italy!
Without exception, everyone's eyes were full of incredulity and endless envy, and even jealousy was so red that they almost went crazy!
Ye Tian and Maria, who were in the center of the tsunami, had no time to pay attention to the noisy voices of the outside world, as well as countless hot and hot eyes.
Just after 9 a.m., they completed the closing of Lisa Gradini, bringing the sale to a close.
At this point, this masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci officially changed its owner, becoming Maria's private collection and a signature of Ferrero Corporation, attracting countless attention.
And this attention was immediate, and on the New York stock market across the ocean, as well as the European stock market that opened in the morning, Ferrero shares were all red, and were enthusiastically sought after by countless investors and financial institutions.
The reason is simple, the fact that the owners of Ferrero have dared to spend a huge sum of three billion euros to acquire a top art is enough to show that this company is in good business and has sufficient funds, and it is definitely a high-performing stock that is worth investing in.
What's more, many discerning people can see that the potential value of "Lisa Gladini" is extremely huge, even comparable to the famous "Mona Lisa", and the quality and sales of the goods named after it must be great.
Considering these circumstances, no one wants to miss this opportunity if they don't buy Ferrero shares at this time!
Because of this, Ferrero's stock ushered in a wave of skyrocketing market, and it was red across the board.
If you take stock gains alone, Maria's personal fortune has risen by billions of euros in just a dozen hours, far exceeding the cost of buying Lisa Gladini.
This is public information, and based on Maria's stake in Ferrero, it is easy to calculate how much her fortune has skyrocketed overnight.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a lot of sensation again, and everyone was dumbfounded!
Especially the super-rich and top collectors who were invited to participate in Ye Tian's private auction last night and competed with Maria, they all beat their chests with regret, and they couldn't go back in time!
If they could go back to last night's auction, it is estimated that each of them would fight to the end and win "Lisa Gradini" at all costs.
So today, it is you who has gone crazy with stocks and personal wealth.
Compared to the crazy rise in stocks and personal wealth, "Lisa Gradini" is like a white pick-up, three billion euros are not worth mentioning at all.
Even Ye Tian somewhat regretted it, regretting that he was too merciful and let Maria take a huge advantage!
However, when he received the information that 3 billion euros had arrived, that trace of regret disappeared immediately, and he flew away into nowhere, leaving only joy!
Of course, out of these three billion euros, more than 600 million euros will be snatched by the Italian government in the name of value-added tax on works of art, which really hurts him!
After completing the settlement, Ye Tian and the others did not leave the Vatican and went to Rome to continue their visit.
At this time, Ye Tian was already the focus of attention.
As soon as he appeared in public, he would inevitably be surrounded by a flood of media reporters, and he would not want to do anything, and he would not want to go there.
In this case, security is a big problem, and there is a high probability that there will be omissions and cause some unnecessary accidents!
What's more, there is another negotiation this afternoon.
Ye Tian will negotiate with the Vatican to discuss the joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar, so they must stay in the Vatican.
After returning to the guest room to rest for a while, Ye Tian was chatting with David and them when Cole suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
"Steven, the security of the exhibition hall has been handed over, and Maria's security personnel have taken over the internal security of the exhibition hall to protect Lisa Gradini.
Soon after the security handover, the exhibition hall reopened, and those art lovers and ordinary tourists who were waiting in line entered the exhibition hall one after another and began to visit."
Cole reported on the situation on the other side of the exhibition hall, and everything went very well.
After listening to his report, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Well, Lisa Gradini has nothing to do with us now, even if it is robbed or stolen, that is Maria's business, and if she doesn't ask for it, we don't have to help.
We've got other things to do, Cole, you go and ask those guys who live in the Paul VI Hotel if they understand Morse code, and if they don't, then hurry up and learn it, it's still too late.
Tomorrow we'll visit some of Rome's most famous museums, and I'll be visiting some of Rome's most famous antique markets, as well as antique shops and galleries scattered throughout the city.
When the time comes, let those guys send a representative to follow us, and I'll type out Morse code at the right time to give them a hint that this is their chance to make a fortune, and don't blame me if you miss it."
As soon as the words fell, Cole smiled and nodded in response:
"Okay, Steven, I'll inform those guys when I go back, they are all special forces, everyone knows Morse code, and they will never miss this opportunity to make a fortune"
After a few other reports, Cole left the room and went out on errands.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to two o'clock in the afternoon.
After having lunch and resting for a while, Ye Tian and David left the guest room and walked to another building next to them under the leadership of Leonardo.
About fifteen minutes later, they were already in a simple and simple living room, sitting on the sofa in the living room!
Sitting opposite them were Cardinal Kent, as well as several other cardinals, all high-ranking figures in the Vatican and confidants of the current pope.
On this occasion, Leonardo was not even qualified to sit down, he could only stand to the side with his hands down, and he listened as a seat.
Everyone was already very familiar with each other, and after sitting down and chatting a few words, Ye Tian immediately went straight to the point, and said with a smile:
"Bishop Kent, can we start negotiating? Truth be told, I can't wait to know where the Knights Templar's treasure might be buried, it's a mystery for the ages!"
The Bishop of Kent, however, shook his head slightly, and said unhurriedly:
"Don't worry, Steven, there is time, there is still an important person who has not come, and when he arrives, we can start negotiations!"
Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the other side of the stairs, which sounded very familiar!
The moment he heard this footstep, a smile immediately appeared on Ye Tian's face.
Obviously, he knew very well who the man coming down the stairs was, and he knew who the Bishop of Kent was talking about!
On today's occasion, apart from the current Pope, who else can be called an important person, it is worth everyone's wait!
