Chapter 1265: I'm going to buy this building
After exchanging contact information with Ye Tian, Brother Zhang picked up the box containing the high-imitation blue and white plum vase, took his wife and children, and left the Swan restaurant quickly.
For the sake of safety, Ye Tian transferred an armed security guard from Raytheon through an invisible wireless headset, and escorted their family of three all the way to the Chinese Embassy in Belgium.
Know that the Grand Place in Brussels, just outside the Swan Restaurant, and the rest of the city, are full of thieves and scammers, and there are many dangers!
Those scumbags don't know that Brother Zhang is holding a high imitation porcelain, which is not worth much, if they target Brother Zhang's family, or even block the road and rob it, then it will be a big trouble.
If the high-imitation blue and white plum vase is snatched away halfway, or accidentally broken, it will be difficult for Brother Zhang to recover the loss!
Because of this, Ye Tian arranged for armed security personnel to escort them.
Anyway, they are compatriots, and they are in a foreign country, so they can't watch their family being ruined by a dead foreigner, right?
In addition, David, who is far away in New York, has also received the news and began to help Brother Zhang and his family contact a lawyer, preparing to fight this commercial fraud lawsuit.
Not long after Brother Zhang's family left, Ye Tian and their lunch were served, which was very sumptuous, full of color, fragrance and taste, and it was appetizing when smelling.
In the following time, the few of them enjoyed wine and food, while whispering and laughing and chatting, everyone was very relaxed and very comfortable.
Between the staggered discussions, more than half an hour passed quickly.
Ye Tian's first lunch after they arrived in Europe was also at the end, and it was about to end.
At this moment, a white man in his fifties in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a French chef's hat and a chef in his fifties, walked over to Ye Tian's table.
Seeing this, Ye Tian immediately put down the red wine glass in his hand and looked at the two white men who walked over with a smile.
Taylor and Lisa, who were in charge of security, were a little more vigilant and looked at the two guys as well.
When he got closer, the white man in a suit and leather shoes immediately smiled and said:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, welcome to Brussels, Belgium, welcome to Swan Restaurant, I'm Pierre, manager of Swan Restaurant, it's a pleasure to meet you!
This is Dennis, the head chef of our Swan restaurant, from Paris, France, and the lunch you're having is cooked by him!
While introducing himself and the chef, Pierre also stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian and behaved very friendly.
Ye Tian pushed away the chair and stood up, shook hands with the two white men, and greeted them with a smile.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Pierre, Mr. Dennis, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Steven, I'm from New York, USA, your restaurant is amazing, it lives up to its name, I love it!
Here, I would like to give a special thanks to Chef Dennis, for cooking a delicious and hearty lunch for us, your cooking is truly excellent, it is simply the art of gastronomy!"
After an exaggerated and polite tone, Ye Tian introduced Betty and Anderson again, and they knew each other.
After a few more small talks, Chef Dennis took his leave and returned to the kitchen, which was his territory.
When Dennis left, Pierre, the manager of the restaurant, immediately asked curiously:
"Mr. Steven, I heard from the waiter that you helped a guest identify an antique piece of Chinese porcelain just now, is this true?"
"That's true, it was a tourist from China who bought a piece of Chinese porcelain during his trip to Brussels, and he had some questions about that porcelain, so he asked me to help identify it!"
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, admitting the matter, but did not reveal any important details.
Who knows if Pierre has anything to do with the antique crook, whether he will give the other party a tip-off, or be careful.
"Wow! It seems that the rumors are true, you are not only a super-rich, the most brilliant professional treasure hunter, but also a top antique art expert!
You are the first guest ever to authenticate antique artwork on site at our Swan Restaurant, and we hope this will be another great story in our Swan Restaurant!"
Pierre sighed exaggeratedly, looking quite excited, who knows if it was real or acting.
After a few more conversations, Pierre was ready to take his leave and return to his office upstairs.
At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly spoke:
"Pierre, after lunch, we would like to take a good look at this famous building, from the first floor to the fifth floor and even the basement.
You may not know that although I live in New York, I was born in Beijing, China, and grew up in Beijing, China, and only went to the United States after high school.
Once the residence of Marx and Engels, the Swan Restaurant is very famous in China, and every Chinese who travels to Brussels will visit here.
I am no exception, and since I am in Brussels, I must not miss this opportunity to visit the birthplace of the Communist Manifesto.
Besides, this old Renaissance-style building itself is a very good antique work of art, which is worth carefully admiring and feeling!"
Ye Tian's request was completely expected by Pierre.
It is not surprising that almost every Chinese who comes to visit the Swan Restaurant will make such a request!
Without the slightest hesitation, Pierre immediately smiled and nodded:
"Yes, Mr. Steven, when you're done lunch, you can visit this famous building, except for the storeroom and the staff lounge.
I'll be your docent and tell you the story of the Swan Restaurant, and I'm pretty sure that no one knows this old building better than I do!"
"That's great! I'm really looking forward to the next visit."
Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle and said, looking full of anticipation.
Afterwards, Pierre took his leave and left, while Ye Tian and the others continued to enjoy lunch.
Soon, more than ten minutes had passed.
At the end of lunch, Ye Tian immediately fulfilled the promise he had just made, and while paying for a few of his own people, he also paid for all the guests who dined on the first floor.
This includes not only those Chinese tourists, but also several tables of foreigners dining on the first floor, which makes those foreigners feel very surprised and happy!
Someone treats a sumptuous lunch for nothing, and everyone is happy!
Afterwards, Ye Tian and the others said goodbye and left, followed the waiter of the Swan Restaurant to the second floor of the restaurant, met Pierre again, and began to visit this ancient building.
The process of visiting lasted for more than forty minutes, and during this period, Ye Tian no longer found anything surprising, everything was the same as what he saw in perspective before!
When everyone returned to the first floor of the Swan Restaurant and was about to leave here, Ye Tian finally saw the dagger and began to make a move.
"Pierre, this old Renaissance building is amazing, it's a valuable piece of antique art, I love it very much.
I would like to ask, is this building for sale? If it is, I would like to buy this beautiful old building and make it my own collection!"
"Ahh
Pierre exclaimed, and then asked with a twinkle in his eyes, and the whole person instantly became extremely excited.
It's normal for him to have this kind of reaction, and it's the same for anyone!
Everyone knows that Ye Tian is the top professional treasure hunter, who has discovered many famous treasures, and has snatched countless dazzling gold and silver treasures, as well as many valuable antique artworks from those treasures!
At this moment, he suddenly offered to buy the building of the Swan Restaurant, which was not a small amount of money, could Pierre not think about the treasure?
Not only Pierre, but even Betty and the others were very surprised, they didn't understand Ye Tian's intentions at first, but they soon woke up!
Because they like this Renaissance-style building, they want to buy it as a collectible, Betty and the others don't believe Ye Tian's nonsense at all!
Each of them knew in their hearts that Ye Tian must have found some valuable treasure here, so he proposed to buy this ancient building, which was by no means untargeted!
But what is that valuable treasure, and where is it? No one knows!
Now that they understood that Ye Tian had a purpose in purchasing this building, Betty and the others immediately cooperated and took action, and several people looked at Ye Tian in surprise, and their expressions and movements could not see any flaws.
They have encountered things like this many times, and their performances have long been perfect, and everyone is at the level of Oscar winners!
"Pierre, you think too much, I just like this old Renaissance building, it has nothing to do with treasures, of course, I also want to find treasures, who doesn't love treasures?
Again, can the Swan Restaurant building be sold? If so, at what price? Who should I contact, you are still the Brussels City Hall, or the Belgian government?"
Ye Tian said with a smile, looking like he was bound to win.
Pierre looked at Ye Tian deeply a few times, and then shook his head lightly and said:
"Do you want to buy the building of the Swan Restaurant? That's basically impossible, because the Grand Place of Brussels as a whole is an important cultural heritage site recognized by UNESCO.
It has long been on the World Heritage List, belongs to all the citizens of Brussels, to the Belgian people and to the whole world, and no one will sell its buildings alone.
So, Steven, no matter what your purpose is, whether you've found a treasure or, as you say, just like this building, you can't own this historic building!"
Ye Tian shook his head slightly, then said with a smile:
"There's never been a word impossible in my dictionary, and I believe that as long as the price I offer is attractive enough, the deal is likely to be done.
Pierre, please help me to bring a message to the owner of this building, I am interested in buying this old building, they are always welcome to contact me, the price is absolutely satisfactory.
I stayed in a 5 star hotel just around the corner and for the next few days I was either in Belgium or in France or England and it was easy to find"
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian took Betty and the others out of the Swan Restaurant and returned to the hotel not far away.
A few minutes after they left, several city officials came to the Brussels City Hall next to them, and they walked quickly into the Swan Restaurant.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, when lunch time ended, the Swan Restaurant immediately closed its doors and closed completely.
Immediately afterwards, several experts from the history museum opposite hurried into this famous restaurant, carrying a number of exploration tools!
Don't even think about it, it's all about running to explore the treasure!
