After arranging the exhibition, Ye Tian and the others left this independent exhibition hall and went to the office area of the Metropolitan Museum, and there were still some necessary procedures to go.

When you walk out of the exhibition hall, you can see that there are already many people gathered at the door, waiting to enter the exhibition hall to visit, the procession is quite spectacular, winding, down the stairs all the way to the museum gate.

Without exception, everyone in the queue was very excited and full of anticipation.

There are tourists and art lovers from all over the United States and even from all over the world, as well as some primary and secondary school students who carry their painting folders on their backs and are ready to copy, as well as some professional and amateur painters.

Of course, there are also many professionals in the field of antique art collection here, and many of them are very familiar faces, which are all old friends that Ye Tian is familiar with.

Outside the museum, there are countless tourists and art lovers who have lined up at the entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, waiting to enter the museum.

The artworks they were going to see were, of course, Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Christ of Mourning, as well as several other top-notch antique artworks from Napoleon's treasures.

When they came out of the exhibition hall and saw the crowd outside, everyone was taken aback.

This is also too enthusiastic, perhaps this is the great charm of the three masters of Renaissance art.

Immediately after, Ye Tian said jokingly

"Thomas, judging from the current situation, I was still too generous when I signed the loan agreement, and it was clear that I should have significantly increased the ticket price and increased the percentage of tickets, so that would be reasonable."

Hearing his words, many high-level officials of the Metropolitan Museum rolled their eyes angrily and complained to themselves one by one

You bastard generously tricked the ghost into going, I guess the ghost can't believe it.

"Steven, you guy is so greedy, this exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is completely losing money, not only can't make any money, but also has a lot of costs to get into.

The benefits have been earned by this guy, and that's it, you are not satisfied with the lack of greed, this is Raphael and Michelangelo, otherwise we will never do this loss-making business"

That being said, Thomas's old face was almost laughing, and that was a reflection of his true emotions.

For the Metropolitan Museum, the sensation and enormous impact of this public exhibition simply cannot be measured in monetary terms

You know, that's the peak work of Raphael and Michelangelo, and there are very few in the United States, let alone two works in the same exhibition hall at the same time, which has never appeared in the United States

What's more, this is the first public exhibition after more than 200 years of disappearance, and it is sure to cause a huge sensation and attract countless attention, and no museum will miss this kind of heavenly opportunity.

Even if it is a loss to make money, there will be countless museums to break their heads to grab this opportunity.

And this time, the lucky one is the Metropolitan Museum, although Thomas said so in his mouth, his heart was so sweet, and he was so beautiful that he was about to bubble his nose

Besides, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while not making much money in this independent gallery, can make a lot of money in the rest of the world

Those tourists and art lovers who flock to visit must buy a combined ticket, which is a little higher than the normal ticket price, and the higher part is the ticket price of the independent exhibition hall

The income taken by Ye Tian is more than half of the ticket price of the independent exhibition hall, and the part of the normal ticket price has nothing to do with him

With the current crowds, the Met can make a lot of money from the ticket revenue alone, not to mention other benefits, such as the sale of various souvenirs.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration for Ye Tian to say that he is the one who suffers

But there is no way, who let him not have his own private museum, can only use the Metropolitan Museum, or with the help of other top museums to build momentum and expand influence.

On a U.S. scale, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is clearly the best option, and it doesn't get much more suitable.

In fact, Ye Tian didn't care about the ticket income at all.

He agreed to the Met's request for a loan in order to build momentum and further establish his undisputed ownership of Napoleon's treasures.

In the process, he exploited Raphael and Michelangelo, the Metropolitan Museum, the upcoming Pope, and enthusiastic tourists and art lovers

As soon as Thomas finished speaking, another Metropolitan Museum executive immediately took over

"You can also see the situation in front of you, Steven, it can be said that the grand occasion is unprecedented, can we continue to cooperate and do a special exhibition of Napoleon's treasures?"

Ye Tian turned his head to look at this old friend, then nodded with a smile and said

"It's a great suggestion, it's worth exploring, and we'll talk about it when I get back from Boston, it's too early."

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of Thomas and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

"Great, Steven, if we can do an exhibition of Napoleon's treasures, it will definitely cause an even bigger sensation, and I look forward to that day"

Thomas said excitedly, his eyes shining.

As they spoke, everyone had already left the entrance of the exhibition hall along the special passage and walked towards the stairs not far away.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, after having lunch with many high-level executives of the Metropolitan Museum, Ye Tian and the others left the Metropolitan Museum.

At this time, Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's Mourning Christ, two top works of art, were already on public display, already causing a huge sensation.

More and more tourists and art lovers are getting ready to see these two masterpieces so as not to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Several national public television stations in the United States have invited art critics to make special reports on this public exhibition, which is also invisibly building momentum for Ye Tian

After leaving the museum and getting into the car on the side of the fifth main road, Ye Tian immediately said through wireless headphones

"Mattis, inform the guys, go to the Federal Reserve headquarters building, it's time to negotiate with Christopher's old foxes, sell that batch of Nacui gold, lest you have too many nights"

"Okay, Steven"

Mattis responded, and was immediately informed.

Immediately afterward, the heavy motorvoy roared out of the crowded plaza in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and headed straight for the Federal Reserve headquarters building on Wall Street.

The convoy didn't go far away, and Ye Tian asked through the wireless headset again

"Kenny, have you found out, what are the whereabouts of those fools who killed themselves just now, is there any news from the New York police, and what are the casualties of those fools?"

As the words fell, Kenny's excited voice was heard immediately.

"Find out, Steven, those idiots just now are all from Philadelphia, there are nine people in all, and the two cars they drove were stolen from New Jersey, but they had New York license plates.

In the shootout just now, none of those fools escaped, six were killed on the spot, the other three were all seriously injured, and the New York police paid a very heavy price.

From the mouths of the three injured fools, the police came out with a little bit of information, and it was said that the fools were hired by people, and the employer asked them to come to New York and paid a deposit.

It was only after arriving in Manhattan that the employer told the fools to rob your convoy of convoys that were targeting the paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo

As for who the employer was, no one knew who one of the injured guys said that they had never seen the employer and that the other party had been in contact by phone and had never shown up.

I looked up the idiots' communication logs, found the mysterious employer's phone number, and then looked up the call history of that phone number to see if I could find anything.

It was a disposable bearer number that had only been in contact with the boss of the idiots, and the signal for that cell phone number disappeared immediately after the shootout broke out in Lower Manhattan.

Obviously, the mysterious employer was very cautious and alert, and in the process of remotely manipulating this robbery, there were almost no flaws, and it was difficult to continue the investigation."

Hearing this briefing, a sneer immediately appeared on Ye Tian's face.

"It's a little interesting, it seems that we have met a master, I don't know who this mysterious employer is, I really want to get to know this guy and have a good deal with the other party.

In the field of antique art collection, it is not uncommon for mystery buyers to place orders for artworks and hire robbers or art thieves to rob and steal.

Europeans love to steal art in this way, and a few years ago in a famous art theft, the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, this method was used.

If I'm not mistaken, the mysterious employer must be from Europe, or a bad collector, or some super-rich person, or maybe even a European government."

Just as Ye Tian was analyzing the identity of the mysterious employer, the convoy had quickly driven through the streets and returned to Lower Manhattan again.

Many New York police officers who were on guard on the streets of Lower Manhattan saw that the convoy was actually back, and they were all gritting their teeth in anger, their eyes spitting fire outward, but they were helpless
