Chapter Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Two: Fallen Artist
Like other places, when Ye Tian publicly stated his appraisal conclusions, the temporary conference room in the hall of the Temple Palace instantly boiled.
Especially those Germans, including the German Chancellor, while exclaiming, everyone's eyes were unusually bright, shining brightly, even flashing with the light of greed.
And Ye Tian, who was in the underground palace, was standing in front of the statue of "Madame de Bruges", admiring this masterpiece of Michelangelo with fascination.
A moment later, David's voice suddenly came over the walkie-talkie, which woke them up.
"Steven, everything is ready to start the video conference call, and the people who will participate in this video call are the same as you specified earlier."
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said with a smile:
"Okay, David, I still need to set it up here, please wait a while, and when you are ready, I will notify you and turn on the video signal."
"No problem, Steven"
David answered, and ended the call.
Next, Ye Tian glanced at several of his subordinates around him and said to these guys:
"Derek, you set up some lights in front of this Michelangelo's Madame Bruges, and I'm here to have a video call and talk to my German friends in the conference room on the ground floor.
Once you've set it up, you can continue exploring, but don't get too far away from me, and tell me every box you open, and you can pry it open until I've seen it and made sure it's safe.
Just choose the box next to it, which is so close to the statue that Hitle will not allow traps to be set up in those chests, even to protect Madame Bruges.
Those boxes are generally very large in size and of different sizes, and if I guess correctly, those boxes should contain antique works of art of great value, so you must be careful."
As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to a pile of wooden boxes on the east side of "Madame Bruges".
As he had said, the crates were relatively large and of different sizes, very different from the crates he had explored before.
Under those wooden boxes, they were padded with horizontal logs, and covered with moisture-proof mats, and the top was covered with several layers of moisture-proof oilcloth, which looked distinctive.
"Understood, Steven, we know what to do"
Walker and Derek responded in unison, and then went into action.
In a matter of moments, Derek and his team set up a few lights in front of Madame Bruges, illuminating the priceless marble sculpture.
Next, Ye Tian stood next to "Madame Bruges", holding an IPAD in his hand for a video call, and Michelangelo's famous sculpture was directly used as a background board by him.
Before making a video call, Ye Tian and Walker all turned off the live broadcast microphone they carried with them, and only the picture was broadcast live, and there was no sound.
The reason for this, of course, is due to confidentiality considerations.
When you are on a video call with the Germans, some of the talks are not suitable for live broadcasting, they are talking about a deal, and there will inevitably be some ulterior things and an exchange of interests.
Walker and the others had already made their way to the pile of wooden boxes covered with damp tarpaulins, ready to open them to see what they contained.
The signal was connected, and the picture in the temporary conference room in the hall of the Temple Palace immediately appeared on the iPad and appeared in front of Ye Tian's eyes, and the picture was very clear.
At the same time, the picture of Ye Tian and "Madame Bruges" standing side by side also appeared on the projection screen of the temporary conference room, and appeared in front of everyone in the conference room.
THE NEXT MOMENT, YE TIAN WAVED HIS HAND LIGHTLY AT THE IPAD CAMERA, SMILED AND SAID ALOUD:
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you here, and I beg your pardon for not being able to go back to the ground and sit at the conference table to meet you and have a meeting
The weather in Berlin today was not very good, but it was a perfect day for me and Daring Do Discovery, and for everyone, and we witnessed a great miracle together!
In this Gothic palace deep beneath the Temple Palace, we find a huge treasure that hides not only a lot of gold and silver treasures, but also a lot of priceless antique art.
For example, the appearance of "Madame de Bruges" by Michelangelo, the master of Renaissance art, is sure to cause a huge sensation, and I believe that such surprises will continue to appear."
As soon as the words fell, there was a warm applause in the makeshift conference room.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Everyone in the room began to applaud, and the applause was long and enthusiastic.
Even those Germans who were in pain and even hated Ye Tian so much that they couldn't deny that this was indeed a great discovery that had already caused a sensation in the world.
And Steven, who discovered this Hitle treasure, even though he was extremely greedy and had a never-ending appetite, was enough to make everyone admire and even envy him to the point of madness.
When the applause fell, David immediately picked up the conversation and began to introduce the parties involved in the video conference call.
Every time he introduced one, Ye Tian would wave at that person, greet him with a smile, and be polite, and his performance was impeccable.
By the time David had finished introducing and going through the procedures on these scenes, five or six minutes had passed.
Just as everyone was about to get down to business and talk about how to cooperate to explore and reasonably distribute this huge treasure, Walker and his team each carried a box over and placed it in front of Ye Tian.
"Steven, these boxes are very well protected, each layer is padded with moisture-proof tarpaulin, and there is not much dust falling on it, only a thin layer of moss, and the weight is not too heavy.
We don't know exactly what's inside these boxes, but we've checked and there are no traps on the outside of the boxes, so can we pry open them?"
Walker gave a briefing on the situation, looking expectantly at the boxes he had just carried.
The rest of the guys were the same, ready to pry open the boxes.
YE TIAN DID NOT GIVE AN ANSWER IMMEDIATELY, BUT SAID TO THE IPAD CAMERA WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE:
"Madam Prime Minister, and other ladies and gentlemen, it seems that our video meeting will have to be paused for a moment, let's take a look at what is in these boxes, maybe it will be a huge surprise.
After we finish reading the contents of these boxes, we will continue the talks, I believe that there will be no delays, and it will add some interesting topics to this meeting, and everyone will not refuse."
Hearing this, all the Germans in the makeshift conference room rolled their eyes in unison and complained to themselves.
"Is it useful for us to refuse? It's not up to you bastard to make a decision, and who can change your decision, it's unlikely that it will even affect it."
Not surprisingly, everyone sitting on either side of the long table in the makeshift conference room nodded slightly, and there was no disagreement.
In fact, they were also very curious about what was in the box that Walker had brought over.
Next, Ye Tian carefully checked the boxes, and after making sure that there were no traps in the boxes, he nodded and asked Walker to open those boxes.
"Smack, smack, smack"
With a few crisp sounds, the boxes had been pried open by Walker and the others.
Without exception, the contents of those boxes, all wrapped in thick tarpaulins, lay quietly inside the boxes.
However, just from the outline of those things, you can already guess what those things are.
"Steven, what you said before is right, the contents of these boxes are indeed antique artworks, and they are bound oil paintings, but I don't know if they are the works of those artists, and how valuable they are."
Derek said excitedly, dancing to his heart's content.
The rest of the fellows did the same, staring at the contents of their boxes with sparkling eyes, eager to immediately uncover the tarpaulins and look at the paintings wrapped inside.
Ye Tian quickly glanced at the situation in these boxes, and then said with a smile:
"Guys, you're welcome, open these tarpaulins and let everyone have a good look at the paintings wrapped inside, but be careful, these paintings are likely to be priceless and top-notch works of art"
Walker: They waited for this order, where would they hesitate, and one by one they immediately acted, swift but very cautious.
A moment later, the first painting was presented, held by Derek, displayed in front of Ye Tian's eyes and in front of all the live broadcasts.
It is an impressionist painting with a beautiful rural landscape that is pleasing to the eye.
The first time he saw this impressionist painting, Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed.
"Wow, this is the work of the so-called 'fallen artist', and it's a huge surprise!"
