Chapter 1850: Ten Thousand Empty Alleys
At the same time that Ye Tian checked into the guest room, the outside world was completely boiling.
As soon as I entered the guest room and put down my luggage, news came from Beijing.
The Chinese super-rich man who bought the manuscript of the Communist Manifesto, along with other documents, and the guns of his two great mentors, held an overnight press conference in Beijing.
At the press office's press conference, the Chinese super-rich man publicly displayed important historical documents, two matching guns, and a legal contract for the sale of art.
Towards the end of the press conference, the Chinese super-rich announced in public that he would donate the manuscript of the Communist Manifesto and other documents, as well as the guns of the two great mentors, to the Museum of the History of the Chinese Revolution.
The moment he heard the news, a bright smile immediately bloomed on Ye Tian's face, and his eyes were also a little proud.
As early as when he was in Brussels, Belgium, he made an agreement when he called several super-rich people and related people in the country.
The subsequent art transaction is just a procedure to cover people's eyes, and it is also to put on a legal cloak for this art transaction, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble.
Through this art deal, everyone has something to gain.
What Ye Tian got was not only an astronomical amount of wealth, but also the promises of relevant people in China, as well as the great convenience of doing things in China in the future, such as opening a private museum and so on.
Of course, his family back home will also get a lot of benefits.
But these benefits are hidden, will not be put on the surface, will not be perceived by outsiders, and only insiders can understand the cause and effect.
As for the super-rich man, donating these extremely important historical documents and antique relics not only did not bring him any losses, but won a golden development opportunity for his business!
It is completely conceivable that in the next period of time, the super-rich company's business will inevitably plug in a pair of wings and soar into the sky!
As long as he does not die and does not violate the law and discipline, then his business will become stronger and more prosperous!
Even the hapless Belgians are not without gains.
Through this staggering amount of art transactions, they received an extremely large amount of taxes, which for them was more or less compensated.
The press conference in Beijing was followed by public statements by the Belgian municipality of Brussels, as well as by the Belgian Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In these public statements, without exception, Ye Tian was severely condemned, claiming that he had looted Belgium and stole the historical and cultural wealth belonging to the Belgian people, which was Chiguoguo's crime.
However, in front of the relevant video materials sent by Ye Tian to the Internet in advance, these public statements and condemnations seemed so pale and powerless, and they were useless!
Regarding these noises coming from Belgium, Ye Tian didn't bother to pay attention to them at all, just laughed at them!
What caused an even greater sensation around the world was what Ye Tian said to many media reporters on St. Peter's Square about the treasures of the Knights Templar.
When it was confirmed that the joint exploration team of the Vatican and the Intrepid Explorer had found two extremely important Christian relics that had been lost for more than 700 years, the entire Western world was completely boiled!
Next, almost all believers in the world have turned their eyes to the Vatican, and they are all eagerly looking forward to the joint press conference to be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock!
At that time, the exact contents of these two extremely important Christian relics will be officially announced.
After more than 700 years of vanishing, those two Christian relics will once again see the light of day and appear in front of the world for people to admire and admire!
In order to witness this great moment and see the two sacred relics of Christianity on public display for the first time, many devout believers have quickly set off for the Vatican!
In addition to the two Christian relics, people were also interested in the other treasures of the Knights Templar, wanting to see them and see what they were.
Of course, the thought that those worldly belongings and antique works of art that must be priceless will all be swept away by Ye Tian and turned into his personal wealth, many people are heartbroken and jealous almost crazy!
In the evening, news also came from the Cypriot side.
The Cypriot government has publicly stated that although they have not been able to leave behind the Knights Templar's treasures, they have received promises of strong political support from the Vatican and promises of investment on a staggering scale!
With this public statement, the anger that was almost boiling in the hearts of the Cypriot people was somewhat reduced, and the Turks who were also on the island of Cyprus were naturally not included!
Soon, night covered the whole of Rome and the Vatican.
St. Peter's Square, after a day of noisy activity, finally quieted down, and the weather became colder and colder.
However, people's hearts are still hot.
Every believer in Christianity in the world is looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow and the joint press conference to be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning!
Tonight, many people are destined to have no sleep!
......
When the sun rises again, it shines all over the ancient city of Rome.
Tourists from all over the world, Roman locals, people who came to Rome overnight, clergy in monks' robes, journalists from the world's major news media, and all sorts of other people!
Everyone left their homes in unison and flocked to the Vatican.
Some of them even braved the cold of the winter night and set off in the middle of the night to the edge of St. Peter's Square early, tormenting and waiting in the cold wind just to grab a better spot!
At this time, if a person pilots a helicopter and looks down from the sky, you will see such a spectacle.
The people of the streets of Rome are like streams, swarming from all directions, all converging in one place, and that is the Vatican!
Without exception, everyone who walked through the ancient streets of Rome was excited, brisk, and their eyes were full of anticipation.
Some devout Christians even prayed in low voices as they marched, ready to face the two holy relics of Christianity that had disappeared for more than 700 years with their pious hearts!
This is called the real empty alley, and the scene is spectacular!
This scene that happened in Rome quickly spread throughout the world through the camera lenses of major news media, causing a huge sensation and making everyone jaw-dropping and shocked!
In front of countless television sets all over the world, many people are waiting for 10 a.m. in the morning, and everyone is also full of anticipation!
When people flocked to the edge of St. Peter's Square, they immediately noticed that there were several huge TV screens erected high in St. Peter's Square!
On the huge television screens that were erected overnight, without exception, these two lines of Italian and English were typed out in very striking words.
"At 10 o'clock in the morning, the joint press conference between the Vatican and Intrepid Discovery will be held on time, and it will be broadcast live to the world, so stay tuned!"
Seeing this message, the edge of St. Peter's Square and countless live broadcasts around the world immediately resounded with cheers.
At the same time, on the first floor of the Vatican Museums, in a huge exhibition hall that was temporarily vacated, Ye Tian and his company employees and the staff of the Vatican Museums were nervously arranging the exhibition.
"Guys, carefully check the information of the knight's sword in your hand and the corresponding marble pedestal, don't make a mistake, insert the knight's sword into the wrong marble pedestal, and also pay attention to safety!
After inserting the knight's sword, you have to lock the bulletproof glass cover and adjust the angle of the surveillance probe, these knight's swords are very sharp, I don't want to see a tourist die under these swords!
As for the Templars' all-metal helmets and iron shields, they are to be placed in the same way as they were when they were found in Cyprus, and they must be matched one by one, so make no mistake!"
Ye Tian smiled and said loudly, reminding the employees of the company under his command and those staff of the Vatican Museums that everyone should not make mistakes!
As he said this, he gently thrust the knight's sword he held into his hand against a marble pedestal.
It was the knightly sword of Hugo de Pain, the founder of the Knights Templar and the first chief of the Knights Templar, an undoubted priceless treasure!
"Understand, Steven, don't worry, we can't go wrong!"
Everyone at the scene responded in unison, and everyone was full of confidence and excitement.
At the same time as Ye Tian and them were arranging the exhibition, the director of the Vatican Museums brought people to the door of this temporary exhibition hall and erected a newly made sign in front of this exhibition hall!
The two-metre-high sign read, 'The King and the Knight,' and at the end of the line, a medieval knight's sword!
In St. Peter's Basilica, not far away, the Pope, dressed in full costume, personally led a group of cardinals, and also respectfully set up the exhibition.
They set up two Christian relics found in the Knights Templar's treasures, a fragment of the 'True Cross', and the Crown of Thorns of King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem!
