Chapter 1923 Show Ambition
Ye Tianchong nodded slightly to the director of the British Museum, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Fisher, you don't have to be so nervous, and you don't have to feel angry. In my opinion, this art transaction is beneficial to both of you and me, and it can be a win-win situation.
I believe you will not deny that if the British Museum collects these valuable antiques and displays them in the museum, it will definitely attract a raging crowd of visitors.
In particular, the golden crown of King Edward I has a very special meaning to the British royal family and to the whole of the United Kingdom, and will become another treasure of the British Museum.
As for the Chinese antique artworks I just mentioned, there are very few opportunities to be displayed in the British Museum. For example, the "Nv Shi Zhen Tu" is only exhibited publicly twice a year.
More importantly, there are not many people who really know how to appreciate those Chinese antique works of art. Instead of putting those antique works of art on the shelf, it is better to exchange them.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the two directors of the British Museum softened somewhat, and they looked at the Queen of England and the Prime Minister in unison.
The two of them knew very well in their hearts that whether this art transaction could be concluded largely depended on the Queen and the Prime Minister of England, not themselves who managed the British Museum.
As for the other British guys on the live and live broadcast, they all showed a hint of excitement.
For many of them, those ancient Chinese books written in Chinese characters and ancient Chinese artworks that look cloudy and misty are obviously not as important as King Edward I's golden crown and a complete set of knight equipment.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to smile and said:
"I can choose to exchange with the British Museum, or I can exchange with other museums, or top collectors and foundations, such as the famous David David Foundation.
I am also very interested in the pair of Yuan blue-and-white standard vessels from the David Foundation, the pair of large blue-and-white vases known as David vases, and the Ru kiln sky blue glazed bowl in the Northern Song Dynasty! "
Hearing his words, the chairman of the David Foundation, who was also at the scene of the temple in the Temple Church, immediately rolled his eyes angrily, and was out of breath.
He was about to refute, but the British Prime Minister jumped ahead of him, and suddenly interjected:
"Steven, may I ask why you only choose Chinese antiques instead of Western ones? Is the private museum you're talking about located in Beijing? Why not in New York?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately looked at the British guy, and a hint of sarcasm quickly flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He is not a good person, he actually played the trick of borrowing a knife to kill him, and he was going to put eye drops on his buddy, and borrow an American knife to deal with his buddy, it's really shady!
"Mr. Prime Minister, the reason why I choose Chinese antique art is very simple, because my private museum will be opened in Beijing, and only the Chinese know how to appreciate things from their own nation.
If I choose western antique art for exchange, it would be superfluous. I can just keep these medieval antiques that are closely related to the British royal family, so why bother to exchange them?
In fact, I already have a lot of valuable Western antique artworks in my hand, and I will definitely find more Western antique artworks in the future. It doesn’t matter much to me if there are only a few pieces in front of me.
my private museum,
It will be a comprehensive museum, taking into account both Chinese and Western culture and art, from ancient antiques to modern science and art, everything will be included.
The reason why it is in Beijing instead of New York is very simple. China is a bigger market with more potential. In terms of business, from the perspective of interests, of course I choose Beijing, China.
With the rapid development of China's economy in these years, people's living standards are improving rapidly, and it is logical that people's spiritual and cultural pursuits are also increasing. These are the reasons why I choose China."
Ye Tian said with a smile, taking the opportunity to introduce to the world his private museum that is still on the blueprint.
This is such a perfect publicity opportunity, how could it be easily missed, otherwise it would be a pity.
He said this on another level, which is to take a vaccination in advance to prevent anyone from making a fuss about this private museum.
You know, there are some guys in the United States who are full and have nothing to do, and they always hate China.
Hearing his words, people couldn't help showing a hint of shock on their faces.
Everyone was shocked by Ye Tian's strong strength, self-confidence, and ambition.
While speaking, those antique art appraisal experts from the British Museum and the British royal family have already appraised the antique artifacts on the workbench.
The appraisal conclusion they gave was no different from that given by Ye Tian, and it was not even as comprehensive as the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian.
After listening to the introductions of these experts and scholars, the Queen of England looked at Ye Tian again, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Steven, we still need time to discuss whether to conduct an art transaction with you. When the negotiation is completed, William will inform you that he will be solely responsible for this matter.
No matter what the final result is, here, on behalf of the British royal family, I would like to express my gratitude to you again for this important discovery. You are undoubtedly the best professional treasure hunter! "
With that said, the Queen of England shook hands with Ye Tian again.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty the Queen, you are an elegant and noble lady, it is a great honor to meet you here, I look forward to hearing good news, and hope that this transaction with the artwork can be concluded smoothly"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and bowed slightly to the Queen of England again.
After chatting for a few more words, the Queen of England walked back to her seat and sat down, chatting with the Pope in a low voice while waiting to see what was in the other six boxes.
After the Queen of England left, Ye Tian immediately said to Prince William and the other Britons gathered around the workbench:
"His Royal Highness, gentlemen, please make room, we need to put away these antique relics to make enough space, and there are still six boxes to be opened in public.
I can tell you in advance that the things contained in those six boxes are very likely to be Christian holy objects that have disappeared for a long time, and the shock they will bring will be even greater.”
Hearing his words, Prince William and the rest of the Brits had no choice but to leave the workbench and retreat a few meters together. Everyone looked reluctant and unwilling.
However, their emotions disappeared in a blink of an eye, replaced by eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
The rest of the people at the inner temple site were the same, all staring curiously at the remaining six rosewood boxes, everyone's eyes were full of expectation, and their eyes were extremely hot.
In front of all the live broadcast terminals, people were also staring at the six boxes excitedly, and secretly guessing whether what was contained in the six boxes was the Christian holy thing that Steven said.
Some devout Christians have even started to draw the cross on their chests and pray in low voices, praying for a miracle to appear before their eyes.
As soon as Prince William and the others retreated, Ye Tian immediately pointed to the golden crown of the Plantagenet Dynasty on the workbench, as well as the crusader knight equipment of Edward I and the Earl of Lancaster and said:
"Jason, you take the guys to collect these valuable medieval antiques, put them in their original boxes, and put them in sealed bags.
During this process, everyone must be careful, and do not damage these antique cultural relics, any negligence may cause huge losses."
"Okay, Steven, don't worry and leave it to us, there won't be any problems"
Jason nodded in agreement, and immediately led several company employees into action.
It didn't take long for Jason and the others to put away the antique artworks on the temporary workbench and put them back into the three black walnut boxes.
When Ye Tian finished the inspection and confirmed that there was no problem, and then reached out to cover the box containing the golden crown of King Edward I, all the British people in front of the scene and live broadcast sighed in unison.
These voices contain a variety of emotions, including joy, regret, and unwillingness.
Ye Tian seemed to have never heard of these sighs.
He directly looked up at the Pope who was sitting above him, and said loudly with a smile:
"Your Majesty the Pope, it's your turn to the Vatican. Here are six rosewood boxes waiting for you to open. I believe that each box will bring you a huge surprise."
As he spoke, he pointed to the six rosewood boxes placed on the workbench.
At this time, no matter the scene of the Temple Church or the countless live broadcasts, everyone's eyes were on the six rosewood boxes.
