Chapter 1282 Sensational Effect
As Ye Tian expected, because of the famous diamond necklace closely related to the French Revolution, there was an uproar throughout Europe. Everyone who heard the news was shocked and dumbfounded.
Next, the eyes of the whole of Europe, and even the whole world, were focused on Ye Tian. People's eyes were full of various emotions, envy, jealousy, and everything!
Ye Tian and the others broke through the siege, just rushed out of Flanders Avenue, and before returning to the hotel, some old friends in the field of antique art collection couldn't wait to call.
The first person to call was the curator of the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
During the phone call, this old friend patted his chest and promised Ye Tian that as long as he brought the diamond necklace back to New York and transferred it to the Metropolitan Museum, he would let him open the necklace on condition that he was very generous!
However, Ye Tian didn't agree to the other party right away, nor did he refuse outright, he just said that he was thinking about it, and prevaricated this old friend.
Immediately afterwards, the directors of the National Museum of America, MOMA, Sotheby's Auction House, Christie's Auction House, and many other museum curators and general managers of auction houses rushed to call!
Each of these guys is very enthusiastic and generous, and their purpose is all the same, which is to win the priceless famous diamond necklace, or to win the right to auction it!
For these guys, Ye Tian's response method was the same as before, neither agreeing nor refusing, only saying that he needs to think carefully before making a decision.
When the group of them returned to the hotel, several old guys from the French Louvre and Fontainebleau Palace finally called, as well as people representing the French government.
These are the calls that Ye Tian really wants to receive, and they are also the ones he is ready to slaughter!
Since Betty hadn't made a decision yet, Ye Tian didn't mention the matter of exchanging Queen Mary's top jewelry for heavyweight Chinese antiques when talking to these guys.
He only told the other party that he hadn't figured out what to do with Queen Mary's top jewellery. If he decided to transfer them, he would give priority to the Louvre and Fontainebleau Palace, leaving a little hope for the other party!
As for the claims of the French government, these top jewelry of Queen Mary belong to France, belong to the French people, and must be returned to France! Ye Tian turned a deaf ear to it and didn't even bother to answer it!
These top jewels did belong to France before and were purchased with the hard-earned money of the French people.
But that was an old thing more than two hundred years ago! It's all old calendars!
At this moment, these priceless top jewels belong to Lao Tzu and are his private property. No one can covet them, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu!
As soon as Ye Tian and the others returned to the hotel, this small five-star hotel was completely overwhelmed by countless media reporters who heard the news, and it became extremely lively and noisy!
But it's a pity that these media reporters never saw Ye Tian and the others again, let alone the legendary diamond necklace closely related to the French Revolution!
As for squatting on the floor where Ye Tian and the others lived, looking for an opportunity to interview Ye Tian, that was simply impossible.
Matisse led those heavily armed security personnel, and had already sealed the floor where Ye Tian lived. Those highly alert armed security personnel were enough to discourage anyone!
Due to the special situation, Ye Tian and the others even ate dinner in the presidential suite, they didn't leave the presidential suite, and they didn't give the guys outside the slightest chance!
After leaving Flender Street, Brother Zhang and his wife bid farewell and left, escorted by two armed security personnel arranged by Ye Tian, and returned to the hotel where they were staying.
Back at the hotel, they quickly packed their luggage, then took their daughter to Brussels International Airport, took the earliest flight, and flew back to Beijing!
At around 5:30 in the afternoon, Raytheon's newly added ten armed security personnel, three Mercedes-Benz bulletproof SUVs, and a medium-sized helicopter finally arrived in Brussels and joined the security team!
Just like what Ye Tian asked, these security personnel are all well-established, clean, and all come from various special forces of the US military, so they are trustworthy!
At the same time, under the arrangement of Mattis, the monitoring operation against the Gents and his sons was also launched quietly, and it went very smoothly!
Every move of the pair of Belgian antique swindlers is in the sight of Matisse and the others, there is no secret at all!
Tristan, who is far away in the United States, Kenny and Bourne, who have just left New York Harbor on the deep-sea salvage ship Intrepid, and relevant technical personnel from Raytheon also launched operations.
The targets of their monitoring are the whereabouts of those famous jewelry thieves in the world, especially those famous jewelry thieves whose nests are in Europe, they are the focus of attention!
The fact is just as Ye Tian expected, as soon as the news about the top-notch jewels spread, almost all the jewel thieves went into a commotion!
Some of them, who were blinded by greed, packed their bags and set off immediately, with the dream of making a fortune, and headed straight for Brussels!
What awaits them? It must not be those dazzling top jewelry, but hot bullets!
One after another, one day finally passed.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was a new day, and the sun was shining brightly, just like Ye Tian's mood.
After getting up in the morning and washing up, Ye Tian changed into a casual summer outfit, and strolled to Betty's side.
At this time, Betty was wearing a long white dress and the top jewelry that belonged to Queen Mary. She was admiring herself in the mirror, constantly changing her posture and angle, with an obsessive expression on her face.
Ye Tian didn't interrupt this beautiful scene, but stood aside, with a smile on his face, quietly admiring the beautiful woman in front of him!
After a while, Betty just woke up from the obsession, and immediately started to express emotion.
"My dear, these jewels of Queen Mary are so beautiful and luxurious! They are so beautiful and incomparable that every woman is crazy about them!"
When she said these words, Betty's eyes were extremely bright, like those dazzling diamonds!
Seeing that Betty had woken up, Ye Tian immediately took a step forward, gently embraced her in his arms, and said softly:
"Honey, since you like these jewels so much, then keep them, and from now on, these top jewels will be your private collection, making other women envious to death!
For our wedding in early October, you can also wear these top jewelry, I am sure, this is definitely the most luxurious jewelry set to appear on the American continent, never before! "
Betty gently stroked the diamond necklace on her neck, then shook her head with reluctance and said:
"You are right, my dear, this is indeed a set of extremely luxurious and beautiful top jewelry, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one before, and I like them very much!
But I don't intend to keep them, and I don't want to wear these jewelry at the wedding. Their historical significance is too important to appear in a museum rather than a private collection!
In addition, you are Chinese, your parents, grandparents, and other immediate family members are all traditional Chinese, and our wedding ceremony must take care of their feelings.
Although these top jewelry pieces are extremely precious, they are also very beautiful and can be said to be unique! But their morals are not very good. There have been too many bloody killings around them.
You Chinese pay attention to a good omen in everything. Since I want to marry you and become your wife, I have to consider this aspect, and I can’t act completely according to my personal preferences!
Besides, Queen Mary's set of top jewelry is so famous that it will attract countless attentions. If I turn it into a private collection, it will definitely cause countless troubles!
I don't want to see that, so I don't intend to collect this set of top jewelry, see it and own it, I have worn and admired them carefully, and I have no regrets!
It is up to you to decide how to deal with these top-level jewelry, or exchange them with some famous museums, or send them to auction houses for auction, whatever you want! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian pondered for a while, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Indeed, these top jewels of Queen Mary, the smell of blood is too strong! God knows how many people died around them! They are really not suitable for wearing at a wedding!
Since you have no intention of collecting these top jewels, I am ready to exchange them with the Louvre or Fontainebleau, which have a lot of heavyweight Chinese antiques!
We will go to Antwerp later, and I will definitely win the Fancy Vivid blue diamond, 'Oppenheimer's Blue' that appeared at the Antwerp Jewelry and Diamond Auction today,..."
While the two were talking, Matisse's voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Steven, the ambassador and cultural counselor of the French embassy in Brussels are downstairs in the hotel. They hope to meet you. Have you met them?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking, and raised his hand to check the time.
Then he turned on the microphone of the invisible headset and said to Mattis:
"Let them wait in the coffee shop downstairs of the hotel. When we leave the hotel later, I will just meet them. Why those guys came, I know very well.
Inform all the guys that we will leave the hotel after breakfast and go directly to Antwerp. It is conceivable that this journey will not be peaceful, so everyone must be vigilant! "
"Understood, Steven, I will inform everyone to prepare. You can rest assured about the security situation on the road. No one can take advantage of us!"
Matisse responded in a deep voice, and then took action.
