Chapter 2191: Footsteps of Spring
As planned, Ye Tian divided half of the Hitle treasure in his hands, and adopted different treatment methods according to the different categories and values.
Some of his objects were sold to jewellers and antique dealers, and some of his gold and silver treasures and antique works of art were entrusted to auction houses in Berlin and Europe, where they would appear on the auction market in the future.
He also sold antiques and works of art of special significance, such as gold from the Habsburgs, to major museums in Germany, as well as museums in Europe and around the world.
As for the priceless and top-notch antiques that can no longer be traced back to the past.
For example, paintings by top masters such as Tishan, Monet, Cézanne, and Picasso, as well as sculptures by master sculptors such as Rodin, were all collected by him and taken them for himself.
He doesn't intend to sell these top-of-the-line antique artworks, but collects them himself.
When his private museum is completed, these top antiques and works of art will be displayed in the museum for people to enjoy and study, and elevate the museum to become one of the top museums in the world.
It makes sense that he wants to take these priceless antiques out of Germany, and there is almost no chance that they will be included in the list of artworks that are restricted from leaving the country.
However, because he discovered this huge treasure that caused a sensation in the world, he sold an astonishing amount of Nacui gold to the German government, which greatly enriched Germany's gold reserves.
In view of this, the German government did not look for trouble in this matter, and chose to turn a blind eye and allow him to ship away these priceless and top-quality antique artworks.
In addition, another treasure buried deep underground in the Temple Palace, under the guidance of Ye Tian, was also jointly excavated by the Catholic Church in Berlin and the Berlin Museum, and gained a big surprise.
In that small treasure, the Germans unearthed three chests full of gold and silver objects, some religious and some courtly, each of which was very beautiful.
After the on-site appraisal of Ye Tian and Rudi and others, those gold and silver artifacts are basically from the court of the Prussian Kingdom in the early eighteenth century, which has high historical research value and are also some good antique cultural relics.
For the Germans, this treasure is also a big surprise, and they naturally want to accept Ye Tian's invitation, and they are even more embarrassed to use the list of artworks that are restricted from leaving the country to embarrass him.
As for the U.S. government, because the Hitle treasure is not in the United States, these top antique works of art will not enter the United States, they can only watch and watch, and nothing else can be done.
Besides, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft!
The U.S. government, which has obtained a large amount of Nacui gold, is inconvenient to say anything at this time, otherwise it will be too inauthentic, and everyone will continue to cooperate in the future!
In the process of distributing the treasure of Hitle, there are also quite a few regrettable things.
Including Michelangelo's "Madame de Bruges", many top antique artworks, because of their clear origins, Ye Tian could only reluctantly part his love and give these priceless top antique artworks to the Catholic Church in Berlin.
As for whether the Catholic Church in Berlin will eventually be able to keep these top antique artworks, it is none of his business.
In fact, the day after the Hitle treasure was revealed, the relevant countries and institutions have successively filed claims and requests for the return of those antique artworks that have been looted by the Nacui elements.
If the Catholic Church in Berlin were cheeky, it would have been able to leave these priceless treasures, but it would be difficult to change to the German government!
It was precisely because of such troubles that Ye Tiancai had to give up these top-notch antique artworks, even if they were priceless.
As one transaction after another, countless huge amounts of money from different trading partners, like a surging tide, continued to pour into the bank account of the company of Brave Explorer.
The situation even alarmed Wall Street, leaving many of its elite stunned.
When those vampires on Wall Street learned that all these astronomical sums of money had been transferred to the bank accounts of the Brave Explorer Company, they were all about to go crazy with envy!
But they can only envy and look greedy, but they can't take advantage of it.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a week has passed.
It's a new day in the blink of an eye, and the sun is shining, just like everyone's mood.
Even Berlin's unusually cold and wet weather has become a little warmer, and the footsteps of spring can be heard clearly.
After breakfast in the early morning, Ye Tian and David came to the living room of the presidential suite, sipping mellow coffee and chatting casually.
At this time, they were rarely idle and not so busy.
The gold, silver, treasures and antiques from the Hitle Treasure have been disposed of locally in Berlin.
A small portion of undisposed of gold, silver, treasure and antique art, which was relatively low value, had been transported to New York last night on a chartered American Airlines flight under the escort of several company employees and a group of armed security personnel.
The resplendent Amber Room, as well as the priceless antiques and artworks that were later shipped to Beijing, are kept in the vaults of Deutsche Bank, which are very safe.
As soon as the receiving team from Beijing arrives in Berlin, Ye Tian will present the top antique artworks and transport them to Beijing on an Air China chartered flight.
Next, it's time to make a deal with the Russians and slaughter the Russians.
Ye Tian and the others had to go to Russia in the cold and freezing weather and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg to conduct field trips and discuss the details of the transaction.
When everything is negotiated, this art deal, which is destined to cause a sensation in the world, will officially begin.
While speaking, the time had come to about half past eight in the morning, and Ye Tian's mobile phone suddenly rang, interrupting everyone's conversation.
Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, then said with a smile:
"It's the Bishop of Kent calling, I guess he should have called, sure enough!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian had gently slid open the screen lock of his mobile phone and sent the mobile phone to his ear.
The next moment, the familiar voice of the Bishop of Kent came from his phone.
"Good morning, Steven, have you taken care of the matter in Berlin? When are you coming to Cologne? We have reached an agreement with Cologne, and as soon as you arrive in Cologne, you can start a joint exploration operation!"
Three days earlier, the Bishop of Kent had left Berlin for Cologne with a group of high-ranking Vatican officials and a group of Swiss Guards.
Cologne is an ancient historical city located on the banks of the Rhine River in western Germany, and there are also several castles built by the Knights Templar themselves.
The second stop of this trip to Germany was Cologne, so the Bishop of Kent and his team rushed there in advance, trying to get through all the links as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the development of the next joint exploration operation.
Hearing Bishop Kent's words, Ye Tian immediately laughed softly.
"Good morning, Bishop of Kent, it's a pleasure to receive your call, but you still have to wait a few days in Cologne, so take this opportunity to visit Cologne and Cologne Cathedral in particular, which is not to be missed.
Here in Berlin, I still have some things to deal with, and just today, I want to hand over a large number of top antique works of art to my family members who have come from Beijing, so that they can charter a plane to transport those top antique works to Beijing.
After that, we will go to St. Petersburg, Russia, to talk to the Russians about trading the Amber Room, and visit the famous Hermitage Museum before returning to Berlin again.
Once this heavyweight art deal is concluded, I will have to ship a large batch of exchanged Chinese antiques and artworks to Beijing, and when we get to Cologne, it will be more than a week later!"
"Hahaha, you guy is really ruthless, he just ransacked the Germans, and in the blink of an eye he was going to attack the Russians, which makes people have to admire, in this case, let's wait patiently in Cologne"
Bishop Kent said jokingly, his tone full of envy.
Then chatted a few more words, Ye Tian hung up the phone and ended the call.
Soon, the clock was nine o'clock in the morning.
Ye Tian raised his hand to look at the time, then stood up from the sofa and said to the people around him:
"Guys, it's almost time, let's go back to our rooms and get ready, and we'll rush to Deutsche Bank in a moment to bring out those priceless top antique artworks and transport them to Berlin Tegel Airport.
Two Air China chartered planes from Beijing will arrive in Berlin in a short time to escort those top antique artworks to Beijing, and the escort team will not leave the airport and directly hand over at Tegel Airport."
"Okay, Steven"
David and Cole answered in unison, got up from the couch, and walked to the door.
After they left the presidential suite, Ye Tian turned around and walked into the bedroom.
Seven or eight minutes later, he came out of the bedroom again.
At this time, he was fully armed, wearing Kevlar body armor and carrying a short assault rifle in his hand, looking murderous.
