Chapter 1963: Laughter in the Morning
At six o'clock in the morning, darkness still hangs over the city of London, and people are still asleep.
However, Ye Tian and the others had already gotten up, left the Ritz Hotel, and rushed to Heathrow International Airport by car to greet her sister-in-law who came from China, as well as many cultural and museum personnel from the National Museum and the Forbidden City.
rushed to the airport to pick up the airport together, as well as the old men of Qian.
When we had dinner together last night, Ye Tian told Qian Lao and them the news that a large number of cultural and museum personnel from the Forbidden City and the National Museum were about to arrive in London to help him receive many Chinese antique artworks.
Hearing the news, these old men were very excited, and immediately volunteered to follow Ye Tian to Heathrow Airport to pick up the plane.
More importantly, they all asked to participate in the subsequent operation to receive a large number of Chinese antiques and artworks, and to witness the return of treasures that had been lost abroad for more than 100 years.
For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if they can participate in it, it will be a great honor worthy of special mention, and if they do, they can't miss it.
These old men are all well-known top calligraphy and painting appraisal experts in China, and it is naturally impossible for Ye Tian to refuse their request, so he nodded very happily.
After dinner, these old men stayed at the Ritz Hotel, waited until about five o'clock in the morning, and then set off with Ye Tian and the others, and rushed to Heathrow Airport by car.
In addition to these old men, there were also four luxury buses that followed Ye Tian and them to Heathrow Airport, which were used to pick up a large number of cultural and museum personnel from the Forbidden City and the National Museum.
When Ye Tian and the others arrived at Heathrow Airport, it was still shrouded in darkness.
Due to the early hours of the day, the airport was rather deserted, and there were not many idlers except for passengers who were in a hurry, preparing to leave London for a flight, or had just arrived in London.
Most of the media reporters who have been stationed at the airport all year round, as well as the famous British specialty 'paparazzi', have gone home at this time to recuperate.
The reporters of the media waiting for the international arrival exit were basically Chinese media reporters in the UK who had received the news in advance and had heard the news, and they were all excited and full of anticipation.
And this is exactly the picture that Ye Tian wants to see.
The sister-in-law, as well as the time for the Forbidden City and many cultural and museum personnel of the National Museum to depart from Beijing and arrive in London, were all specially calculated by him.
Even the four luxury buses used to pick up people were rented from a local Chinese travel agency in London, and the four bus drivers were all Chinese.
And he also specially told the travel agency and the four drivers that they must keep it confidential and not leak the news to the outside world.
Before the joint press conference held this afternoon, it is better not to spread the news that a large number of cultural and museum personnel from the Forbidden City and the National Museum have arrived in London, and the more low-key the better.
If the news leaks out too early, it is very likely to attract a lot of attention, and there may even be some unexpected things that happen.
As soon as Ye Tian and the others arrived at the international arrivals exit, before they could stand still, the media reporters who were waiting here immediately rushed up.
Without exception, these reporters are all Chinese and speak Mandarin.
As in the past, these media reporters were blocked by the security personnel five or six meters away, and they could only ask Ye Tian questions loudly in the air.
"Good morning, Mr. Ye Tian, I am the reporter of the Global Times in London, can you tell me why you are here? Are you here to greet the experts and scholars of the Forbidden City and the National Museum, as well as the cultural and museum personnel?"
"Good morning, Ye Tian, I am a reporter from Phoenix Satellite TV, those experts, scholars and cultural personnel who are about to arrive in London, are they invited by you to come to London? Can you tell us the purpose of their trip?"
Hearing these questions, Ye Tian immediately turned to look at these media reporters, and then said aloud in Mandarin with a smile on his face:
"Good morning, media reporters and friends, I am Ye Tian, I am very happy to see you here, and thank you very much for your attention, such an early morning, you have worked hard.
You came here early in the morning to guard, no need to ask, you must have received news from China, yes, I came here to welcome those cultural and museum personnel in China.
However, the purpose of their visit to London cannot be disclosed for the time being, and if you want to know the answer to this question, please pay attention to the joint press conference this afternoon.
I have a reluctant request, I hope you don't rush to report and leak the news of the arrival of the National Museum and the Palace Museum personnel in London, I believe you can guess the reason.
I won't be interviewing you here, but if you have any questions you would like to ask, you can put them on at the joint press conference in the afternoon, and I will give you the opportunity to ask questions."
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian turned his head and continued to walk forward with David and Qian Lao, ignoring those media reporters from China.
Seeing his performance, those media reporters did not ask questions again, so as not to be bored with themselves.
They have heard of Ye Tian's style of acting like Lao Tzu is the best in the world and no one is stingy, and they have seen it many times with their own eyes, and they know that their identity as a media reporter has no weight in front of him.
More importantly, they all heard the meaning of Ye Tian's words, the news that a large number of domestic experts, scholars and cultural personnel rushed to the UK should not be leaked for the time being, and the more low-key the better.
These media reporters are not fools, but they are all human spirits, so they can naturally understand the reason, and they are also happy to cooperate with Ye Tian to perform this play well.
Almost at the same time that Ye Tian and the others arrived at the international arrival exit, three large planes that flew from Beijing overnight had already flown over London and landed on the runway of Heathrow International Airport one after another.
Of the three large aircraft, two are Air China charter planes and one is a large transport aircraft, and all of them are new aircraft that have just been put into operation, and they are all in excellent condition.
A few minutes after the plane landed, Ye Tian's mobile phone rang, it was a call from his sister-in-law.
The phone was connected, and the sister-in-law's kind voice came immediately.
"Xiaotian, where are you kid now? We have arrived at London Heathrow International Airport, the journey has been very smooth, and everyone is in good spirits"
When the words fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Good morning, sister-in-law, welcome to London, it's going well, I'll be waiting for you at the international arrivals exit of Heathrow, you can see me when you come out"
As soon as he said two words, the call from Shan Lao in the Forbidden City came in, and Ye Tian immediately ended the call with his sister-in-law and connected Shan Lao's phone again.
The purpose of Shan Lao's call was similar to that of his sister-in-law, to report his safety to Ye Tian and discuss the subsequent customs clearance.
At this highly sensitive time, who knows if the British will produce any moths, and must be careful not to cause trouble.
For the matter of customs clearance, Ye Tian had already made arrangements, and there was no need for them to worry about it.
After the end of the call with Shan, he immediately instructed several British lawyers who had been hired by him to go separately to communicate with Heathrow Airport and assist Shan Lao and them through customs.
With the help of these British lawyers, both the British government and Heathrow Airport will be afraid of three points and dare not blatantly play any tricks.
Soon, more than twenty minutes had passed.
The floodgates of international arrivals finally opened, and immediately after, the heroic figure of the sister-in-law appeared in Ye Tian's field of vision.
Accompanying my sister-in-law came out, including Anderson, who had just arrived in Beijing two days ago, as well as several employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, and several cultural and museum personnel in Ye Tian's personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City.
Immediately behind the sister-in-law were many top antique art appraisal experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, as well as a large number of cultural and museum staff, everyone was very excited, and their eyes were shining!
Walking in front of this group of professionals is Shan Lao, who has just finished the call, and an old man from the National Museum, both of whom are extremely vigorous and fast.
Although they flew from Beijing to London overnight on an 11 or 2-hour plane, there was no trace of fatigue on their faces, and everyone was extremely full of spirits.
The first time he saw his sister-in-law, Ye Tian waved his hand to her and signaled.
In fact, at this time, he is already the focus of attention, how can the sisters-in-law not see it.
As they spoke, the sister-in-law had come closer.
Before she could stand still, the sister-in-law reached over and gently beat Ye Tian's chest through the guardrail, smiled and whispered:
"Xiaotian, why don't you kid go to heaven? It's so tormenting, what you did in London a few days ago, everyone in the family was stunned, and when you return to Beijing, wait to be beaten!
But then again, you kid did a great job exchanging the Knights Templar's treasures for top-notch Chinese antiques that were lost overseas, and your grandfather was so excited that he barely slept all night when he heard the news!"
When she said this, her eyes were full of love, pride and appreciation when she looked at Ye Tian.
Of course, there are still some worries.
"Hahaha, sister-in-law, first of all, welcome to London, please rest assured, and please rest assured that everyone in the family can rest assured, no one in this world can hurt me, and there is no play for the king of heaven!
Those national treasure-level antique artworks that have been lost overseas for a long time, I have long wanted to collect them, and since there is such a God-given opportunity this time, I naturally can't miss it, otherwise it won't be too wronged."
Ye Tian chuckled and whispered, his pride was beyond words, without the slightest concealment.
After chatting with my sister-in-law for a few words, Shan Lao and his party had already come closer.
I don't know if it was discussed with my sister-in-law on the plane, but as soon as he got closer, Shan Lao also raised his hand and gave Ye Tian two punches, all of which were hammered on his right shoulder.
"Ye Tian, you kid is really good! Another jaw-dropping miracle has been created, what I said to you before still counts, if you want, we can find a way to let your kid hold a wedding in the Taihe Palace!"
Shan Lao smiled and whispered, his eyes full of appreciation, and his expression was extremely excited.
"Heyββ! you're really willing to put down your money, I'll think about it, but for now, let's keep a low profile, and try not to provoke the British who have just been ransacked by madness!"
Ye Tian said with an exaggerated expression, joking with the old man in front of him.
Hearing his words and seeing his expression, all the Chinese at the scene laughed.
"Hahaha"
This piece of laughter is very hearty, and it is transparent and comfortable to listen to!
