Ye Tian's voice was still echoing in everyone's ears, and everyone of them trembled when they heard Martinez!

"After talking about the collection of calligraphy and paintings, let's talk about the ancient jade collection, in the large number of ancient jade collections in the Guimet Museum, I have a total of two treasures!

The first piece of ancient jade is the white jade tiger from the Western Han Dynasty of China, which is a typical work of the Eight Swords of the Han Dynasty and one of the best representatives of the jade culture of the Western Han Dynasty!

Another piece of ancient jade is the jade from the Warring States Period, but unfortunately it is not the famous He's Bi, if it is He's Bi, it would be perfect!"

Hearing his words, several French antique art appraisal experts who have studied Chinese jade culture were so angry that they almost turned their backs!

How dare you think of it, you bastard!

If we had a Wa clan, don't even think about it unless you bastard exchange Napoleon's crown for it!

Ye Tian glanced at the antique art appraisal experts, and then continued:

"Finally, I would like to talk about the fine porcelain that has fascinated me, since you are only willing to give out twenty pieces of Chinese antique art in exchange, so I have a lot less choice!

I chose a total of three pieces of Chinese antique porcelain, the first is the Northern Song Dynasty Ge kiln Cong style bottle, the second is the Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln plum vase, and the third is the Yuan blue and white general jar painted with the Taoyuan Three Knots pattern!

These are the twenty pieces of Chinese antique art that I have chosen to exchange for those jewels of Queen Mary, and of course, the success of the transaction depends on the outcome of our visit to the Château de Fontainebleau!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian looked at Martinez and them with a smile on his face, waiting for them to react.

Without a moment's hesitation, as soon as his words fell, Florent said aloud in a rage:

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Steven, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob Chiguoguo, you are really greedy to the extreme, we will never accept this exchange plan!

Each of the twenty Chinese antiques you have selected is part of our Guimet Museum's collection, and each one is priceless, including our museum's treasures!

Queen Mary's jewels are precious and of great historical significance, but it is impossible to exchange so many priceless Chinese antique artworks, you are wishful thinking!"

Not only Florent, but all the other Frenchmen shook their heads firmly, staring at Ye Tian angrily, not accepting the choice he made at all.

Ye Tian glanced at these Frenchmen, and then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, don't be impatient! Don't be in a hurry, I have already determined the object of exchange, and as for whether to accept it, the decision is in your hands, and I have no right to interfere!

Even if you don't accept it, that's okay, the deal doesn't make a friendship! There's no need to destroy our friendship and make a saber rattle because of this art deal!

If I'm not mistaken, when we first met in Antwerp, I made it very clear that this art deal had to be based on the market value of the traded!

Only then will the deal be fair, so that both sides can take what they need and no one loses, and when we meet again in Paris, I reiterate this principle of the deal, right?"

Hearing this, Martinez and the others couldn't help but nod their heads and agreed with Ye Tian's statement!

Regarding this, they can't deny it at all, and there is no need to deny it, after all, the initiative of the transaction is always in Ye Tian's hands, and they have always been led by the nose!

"That's right, Steven, we admit that the trade must be based on the market value of the antique in question in order to be fair!"

Martinez nodded in response, his expression rather bitter.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, then said with a smile:

"Now that you admit it, it would be great if we talk about the market value of Queen Mary's three pieces of jewelry, and the twenty pieces of Chinese antique art, to see if they match each other!

Let's talk about Queen Mary's white gold diamond bow brooch first, because of its status and fame in French history, as well as its own value, I value the white gold diamond bow brooch at two or three million euros!

This is the least valuable of the three pieces of jewelry, and the next thing to talk about is the famous pearl diamond bow brooch, which must be very clear about the place of that jewelry in the history of France!

I valued that pearl diamond bow brooch at between 30 million and 40 million euros, which is only too low, and if I bring that piece of jewelry back to New York, I should have no problem fetching a whopping 50 million euros!

The last thing to talk about is the legendary diamond necklace that was closely related to the French Revolution and sent Queen Mary to the guillotine, and every French person knows that diamond necklace very well!

The famous diamond necklace, set with 647 diamonds and weighing 2,800 carats, was worth 2 million livres during the reign of Louis XV, claiming to have reached the level of luxury that had never been seen before.

In fact, the diamond necklace was so extravagant that the first time I saw it, my eyes were almost blinded by the sparkle of the diamond necklace, as were the others present!

That diamond necklace was so extravagant and historically significant that it was so much of a French national treasure that I can't even give a specific estimate, because it was priceless!

But for the sake of this art transaction, I still have to value the famous diamond necklace so that the transaction can go smoothly, even if the valuation I give does not fully reflect the value of the diamond necklace!

Based on my knowledge of the current antique art market, as well as the antique jewelry market, I value that diamond necklace at 700 to 800 million euros, which is no less valuable than the masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo!

If it is sent to New York for auction, with its importance and huge popularity in history, coupled with the fanatical pursuit of European royal jewels by the American super-rich, it is not impossible to fetch a sky-high price of one billion euros!

For France, that famous diamond necklace is equivalent to the French mountain of light, the most dazzling jewel in the crown, and its value and status are comparable to the regent diamonds in the crown of Louis XV!"

Martinez couldn't help but nod again, obviously agreeing with Ye Tian's evaluation of the three top pieces of jewelry, as well as the valuation given!

At the same time, a bitter smile appeared on each of their faces, because they knew what Ye Tian was going to say next!

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"After talking about the three top pieces of jewelry of Queen Mary, let's talk about the twenty Chinese antique works of art I selected and see how much they are worth!

Although there has been a craze for collecting Chinese antique art in recent years, we have to admit that compared with Western antique art, the market price of Chinese antique art is still very low!

Looking at the international antique art auction market, the transaction price of Chinese antique artworks has never exceeded 100 million US dollars, and even more than 50 million US dollars.

Western antique art is different, more than $100 million in top-quality artworks abound, and tens of millions of dollars in size are even more, and a lot of them have flowed out of my hands alone!

Specific to Chinese bronzes, due to China's domestic cultural relics policy, the sale and circulation of bronzes are prohibited, which makes the price of bronzes much lower, two or three million US dollars to the sky!

The Buddhist paintings in Dunhuang are basically the same as the bronzes, although they have extremely high artistic value and historical and cultural value, but the antique art market is not recognized!

Even the calligraphy and paintings of famous Chinese artists of the past dynasties, ancient jade of the Warring Han Dynasty, and those exquisite porcelain, which are highly recognized by the antique art market, are worth less than 50 million US dollars!

Next, it's a simple addition and subtraction math problem, and the combined market value of Queen Mary's three top jewelry pieces is nearly one billion euros, or even more than one billion euros!

The 20 Chinese antiques I have selected are still far from a billion euros in terms of market value, and it is hard to say whether they can reach 500 million euros!

Comparing the two, do you still think that this art deal is a loss? Honestly, in terms of market value, the real person who suffers is me, not you!"

Martinez and the others were completely dumbfounded, and they couldn't think of how to refute it for a while, as if it was really themselves who took advantage, and there was no reason to oppose this art deal!

However, they all have a very awkward feeling, always feeling that something is wrong!

Could it be that you guys have come to Paris to send warmth?
