Chapter 558: Showing Ambition (911 for the Helmsman)

"Count me in, we have a total of four stolen antique works of art in the Harvard University Museum, I wonder you bastard has taken a fancy to that one?"

Robert was also very interested and came to join in the fun.

Is this what negotiation looks like?

Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Tian smiled and began to show his ambitions.

"Since you're interested, let's start with the 13 top artworks stolen from the Gardner Museum, which should be the starting point of the whole case.

The most valuable of those works of art are Vermeer's "Concert" and Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee", and I must take one of these two top paintings, no negotiation!"

As soon as he heard this, Brandon immediately exploded.

The old man stood up as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to scold!

At this moment, Isaac pulled his arm and said in a low voice:

"Blanton, don't get angry just yet, listen to this bastard keep going and see what he wants!"

"Fake! Lao Tzu is really a goddamn eye-opener today, there are such greedy bastards in the world!"

Blanton cursed angrily and sat down.

Next, he stared at Ye Tian with no blinking eyelids, that strength to gnash his teeth!

Ye Tian directly ignored the performance of this old man, and still went his own way.

"In addition to the two most valuable paintings, the self-portrait of Rembrandt, painted in 1634 and known as 'Rembrandt with three mustaches,' must also belong to me.

Manet's portrait of Chase Tortoni, which I was bound to get, as well as two of Degas's sketches, The Three Riders and The Queue of Florence.

The last treasure is a bronze from the ancient Shang Dynasty and 3,200 years ago, 'Yao', I am a Chinese, of course, I want to take back the heavy weapon that belongs to us!

That's all I want, it's less than half of the total, how about it, Mr. Blanton, it's not too much to ask, is it?

As he spoke, he nodded at Brandon with a big smile on his face.

Before he could finish speaking, Blanton stood up again and shouted angrily:

"Steven, you're a robber and a scoundrel! That's not too much, you've taken the best of the best, what are we left with?"

The old man was so angry that his face was red, his eyes were round, blood red, and the blue tendons on his forehead and neck were exposed, and he could pout at any time!

The rest of the people were also very angry, their eyes widened one by one, glaring at Ye Tian viciously, and each pair of eyes contained endless anger.

"Brandon, calm down a little, everything is negotiable, I can give up the most expensive Vermeer "Concert" and choose the slightly worse Rembrandt's "Storm at the Sea of Galilee".

Degas's sketch "The Three Riders", I can also give it up at my discretion, as for the other antique artworks, they are not negotiable, I must take them, you can think about it!"

Ye Tian smiled and stretched out his hands and pressed down, making a little concession.

"You're wishful thinking, don't even think about it unless I'm dead!"

Blanton came back as if he had eaten gunpowder.

"Think about it slowly, I'm sure you'll agree, I have patience, I can wait! After talking about the stolen antique artwork from the Gardner Museum, let's talk about the treasures of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston!"

Ye Tian said in a firm tone, no doubt!

Then he turned his attention to Isaac and smiled at the old man and nodded.

Seeing his signal, Isaac immediately felt his heart pounding, and his legs and stomach were about to cramp!

"In that warehouse, there were six stolen works of art from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, all of which were paintings, three from Europe and three from China.

I only need those three ancient Chinese ink landscapes, Li Tang's "Autumn Colors of Rivers and Mountains" in the early Southern Song Dynasty, Ni Zhan's "Night Return in the Maple Forest" in the Yuan Dynasty, and "Songgu Mountain Village" by the Bada Shanren in the early Qing Dynasty"

Ye Tian quickly listed three famous ancient Chinese paintings.

As soon as he finished speaking, Isaac pushed his chair away, stood up sharply, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"That's impossible, don't dream, Steven, you bandit!"

"I don't want ancient Chinese paintings, but also three famous paintings from Europe, Renoir's "Out of the Bath", Gainsborough's "River View", and Pissarro's "Avenue in the Snow"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, his expression was very relaxed.

He was pretty sure that Isaac would never accept such an exchange offer.

Although Ye Tian prefers three ancient Chinese paintings, he thinks they are more valuable and worth collecting!

But if you look at the market value, three famous European paintings are obviously more expensive.

In particular, the paintings of Renoir and Pissarro are at least above $20 million, or even higher!

Sure enough, hearing this, Isaac's roar suddenly raised an octave.

"Don't even think about it, never ever think about it!Steven, you're definitely the most greedy bastard in the world!"

Ye Tian didn't bother to deal with his hysteria at all, he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Think about it slowly, Isaac, you'll say yes, I'm pretty sure! Okay, let's talk about the four treasures in the Harvard University Museum!"

As he spoke, he looked at Robert.

The next scene was the same as before, when he said his goal, Robert exploded unsurprisingly and roared directly!

The atmosphere in the conference room became more and more tense, like a powder keg, just one point!

The old man on the opposite side was like three aggressive bulls, staring at Ye Tian with round eyes one by one, staring at Ye Tian, everyone was full of anger, and they couldn't wait to rush up and tear him apart and feed him to the dogs.

Joey and Certon, as well as the two insurance company representatives, were no better, they all stared at Ye Tian with fiery eyes, and their teeth were clucking!

In this tense atmosphere, half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and both sides had their own opinions, and neither of them made any concessions, let alone persuaded the other party!

What needs to be done has been done, it's time to withdraw!

Ye Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, then stood up and said:

"Gentlemen, please consider my conditions carefully, and hope to give an answer as soon as possible, the longer you delay, the greater the risk of leakage, and the more dangerous it is that those top antique works of art are stolen.

It's useless to talk about it now, we should also leave, and we will return to New York later, and if you think about it, welcome to come to me in New York, and we look forward to your visit.

In addition, I still want to take the trouble to remind you that you must pay attention to confidentiality, if you leak secrets, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable, and it will be too late to regret it!

If you agree to this confidentiality agreement in front of you, you can sign it at any time, if you don't agree, then it's best not to take it out of this conference room and smash it directly!

Joey, Kenterton, I know you're going to send someone to investigate, and I have no right to interfere with this, but please don't make a big deal about it, lest you be caught by the bastards.

Okay, that's all I have to say, I'm waiting for your good news in New York, I hope you don't have to wait for a long time, we have an old saying in China, 'the sky is unpredictable', send it to everyone!"

After saying that, he began to pack his things and prepare to leave.

On today's trip to the FBI Boston branch, he didn't expect to reach any agreement, but he came to report the news to these guys on the other side!

At the same time, it also explains your purpose and gives the other party full time to think about it.

This period of time must not be too short, and the decision is difficult to make, and it is not an overnight thing!

Seeing Ye Tian and them packing up their things and preparing to leave, the few guys on the opposite side were suddenly dumbfounded.

"Steven, you're just leaving Boston and not talking about it anymore! What about those stolen antiques? Is it too dangerous to keep them in the hands of those art thieves?"

Blanton said eagerly, he couldn't wait to rush over and hug Ye Tian's arm and forcibly leave him here.

The rest of the guys are the same, they are all a little anxious!

What the hell is going on here? Just publish a video and let our appetites go up in the air, and then you bastard will leave! But we haven't even touched the hair of the stolen antique art!

Do you do that? It's not authentic!

"Yes, I'm going back to New York, it's been a few days since I left the Big Apple, don't you say, I really miss the Big Apple! Of course, Boston is also a beautiful city.

Gentlemen, it is a pleasure and a great honor to meet you, and I wish you a wonderful day, and I am sure that we will see you again in New York!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and at the same time nodded at everyone opposite.

Then, he picked up his computer bag and walked to the door of the conference room, and David and the others followed!

At this point, Blanton and the others had no choice but to watch Ye Tian and them walk out of the conference room and disappear from their eyes under the leadership of Kelton!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had already come to the elevator entrance.

At this moment, there was a sudden angry scolding sound from the direction of the conference room.

"Fake! I hate this bastard!"
