Chapter 1367 The New Yorker Who Was Shocked

Just after nine a.m., David and a host of New Yorkers arrived at the Regina Hotel.

Without exception, these guys were all very excited, and they didn't care about the fatigue of the long journey, and after putting their luggage in the room that Ye Tian had booked for them, they immediately poured into the floor where Ye Tian and them were.

When these old friends walked into the presidential suite where Ye Tian lived, they were immediately stunned by the situation in the suite, and they were stunned one by one, gasping for air!

It was only a moment before the guys came to their senses, and the exclamations rang out wildly.

"Oh my God, Steven, don't tell me that these things, covered in white cloth and packed in boxes, are antiques of great value, are they exaggerated?

David exclaimed loudly as he pointed to the many antique artworks in the suite, his eyes almost bursting.

"It's crazy, Steven, before we left New York, we heard rumors that you ransacked the St. Touan thrift market and caused a bloody tragedy!

To be honest, I didn't believe it at the time, but at this moment, I was absolutely convinced that the famous Saint-Touen thrift market had probably suffered one of the craziest loots in history!"

Larry of Sotheby's said, his expression still very shocked, his eyes full of incredulity.

The rest of the New Yorkers were the same, staring at the antique artworks in their suites, as if they couldn't believe it was all real.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, then smiled and gave a very positive answer.

"Gentlemen, everything you have seen and heard before is true, and I have indeed gained a lot from the Saint-Touin thrift market, and have found a lot of antique works of art of great value.

The antique artwork displayed in this suite is only a part of it, but it is the most valuable batch of treasures, and any antique artwork here is worth no less than two million dollars!

The rest of the antique artworks of slightly lower value are placed in a few other rooms, and when you are done admiring the treasures here, you can go and enjoy those antique artworks, and the scene is even more shocking......"

Before the words fell, the scene was boiling again, and David and the others all exclaimed like crazy.

"Oh my God! there isn't a single piece of antique art here worth less than two million dollars? Really? I heard you right? What a fortune!"

"I thought that was all there was to it, who would have thought that there would be more antique artworks, there must have been a lot of people jumping into the Seine in Paris last night, and it is estimated that they are all antique dealers in the Saint-Touin thrift market!"

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone laughed.

When the laughter fell slightly, Ye Tian immediately continued:

"Did any antique dealers jump into the Seine, I haven't heard about it yet, but last night a group of guys came at these antique artworks, and all of them died under the guns of the Paris police, and went to hell to report!"

"I know, Steven, that no matter where you go, you will not only sweep away the treasures there, but also bring endless killing and bloodshed to the local area, and beautiful Paris is no exception!"

"That's right, Steven, your madness of chasing down those Pink Panther scum on the streets of Paris has spread all over the world, even if we were far away in New York!

Especially the shot of you holding the ankle of that pink panther scum and dragging the corpse to the bank of the Seine is so exaggerated and bloody, everyone on the live broadcast end is terrified!"

Everyone said with emotion, everyone's eyes were full of jealousy, and even a little fear.

After chatting a few words, Ye Tian pointed to the large number of antique artworks in the suite, which were covered with white cloths and boxes, and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, if you are not very tired, then start admiring and appreciating these antique works of art, you have seen the quantity, it is a difficult task, it will definitely take a long time!

I can assure you that every piece of antique art here is authentic, not a single fake, and although I don't think there is any need to re-authenticate it, some procedures are still essential.

After the appraisal, we can sign the consignment auction agreement and the short-term art insurance contract on the spot, and then the antique artworks will be moved to a banquet hall downstairs.

The customs officers will then come and check the quantity, price, and other relevant information of the antique artworks, and impose customs duties, and then the antiques can leave France!

Let me tell you in advance that every antique artwork here has legal documents, the origin is clear, there are no problems, and the payment of customs duties is also based on my purchase price!

As for how to get them back to New York safely, that's what you have to think about, you're all well-known auction houses and art insurance companies in the industry, there must be a way!"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, everyone at the scene nodded in unison, everyone was extremely excited, and at the same time full of confidence!

These guys know very well about Ye Tian's ability to identify antique artworks, and they know that he will never be wrong, this appraisal is just a formality!

In addition, the representatives of the three major auction houses in New York or the art insurance companies who came to Paris this time were not the final buyers of these antique artworks.

The authenticity of antique artworks has little to do with them.

If these antique artworks are real, then everyone will be happy, and everyone will have their own gains! If they are fake, the big deal is that they will be sold unsuccessfully, and there is no loss!

Of course, the three major auction houses may suffer some reputational losses, which is also easy to solve, and a sentence of identification error can push the responsibility away!

As for the two art insurance companies, they take on less risk.

All they had to do was make sure that the antiques arrived safely in New York, into the vaults of the three major auction houses, and that no one looted or dropped their bags along the way, and that was done!

"Great, Steven, let's get started, we're still tired from seeing so many valuable antique artworks, everyone is so energetic and motivated!

I've heard that you have found several Impressionist paintings in the Saint-Tuan thrift market, including a masterpiece by the Impressionist master Pissarro, where is that painting?

Simon, head of Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art Department, said excitedly that he couldn't wait!

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Okay, gentlemen, let's start now, appreciate and appraise these valuable antique artworks, witness the surprises together, and enjoy this beautiful day!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian made a gesture of please, and then took these old friends from New York and walked to the nearest oil painting covered with a white cloth!

When he stretched out his hand to gently uncover the white cloth, everyone's eyes were instantly attracted to the painting, and a sound of admiration soon sounded in the suite!

The appraisal activity officially began, and everyone quickly got into it, admiring these exquisite antique artworks, feeling the charm of art, and verifying the authenticity, and then determining their approximate market value!

On the other hand, under the close protection of Taylor and Lisa, as well as three other armed security personnel, Betty quietly left the hotel in a GMC nanny car and went out to see the beauty of Paris!
