Chapter 1953 Private Exhibition

/

It wasn't until noon that Ye Tian and the others left St. Paul's Cathedral and returned to the Ritz Hotel where they were staying.

At this time, at the entrance of the largest banquet hall in the Ritz Hotel, there were already crowds of people and it was extremely lively.

Many top collectors, top art dealers, antique art appraisal experts, representatives of major auction houses, and representatives of many museums from all over the UK and even from all over the world have gathered here.

Everyone's excited eyes were shining brightly, and everyone was looking forward to Ye Tian's arrival, waiting for the door of this luxurious banquet hall to open and let everyone enter.

Around 1:30, a private display of antiques and artwork will be held in the ballroom.

Everyone at the entrance of the banquet hall, without exception, came for this high-level private exhibition.

The antique works of art that will appear in this private exhibition are all from the treasures of the Knights Templar that were just discovered the day before yesterday and caused a sensation in the whole world. Each piece is valuable and rare.

Of course, this does not include those Christian holy relics that have disappeared for at least seven hundred years and caused a sensation in the whole world once they were discovered.

Those Christian holy relics are being displayed publicly at St. Paul's Cathedral and are being admired by believers. They can never appear here!

Even so, this private presentation was of a level almost never seen in the field of Western antique art collections, and it has become the focus of attention

For these professionals who are invited to come, today's private exhibition can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, absolutely not to be missed!

All those who were invited also received a lot of video and picture materials, which contained detailed information on the relevant antiques and gold and silver treasures in this Knights Templar treasure in London.

Through those videos and pictures, these professionals quickly identified their goals, and then came with a checkbook and confidence, and everyone looked like they were going to win.

It was less than ten minutes before 1:30, and the door of this banquet hall was still closed. Several armed security personnel guarding the entrance of the banquet hall with guns and live ammunition still had the appearance and expression that strangers should not enter.

Not only the entrance of the banquet hall, but also around the banquet hall, the elevator room, and the stairwell, almost every place is full of armed security personnel with live ammunition, and everyone is on high alert.

In the lobby of the hotel downstairs, as well as on Piccadilly Street outside the hotel, there were many London policemen and soldiers with live ammunition, one guard at three steps and one sentry at five steps, making the atmosphere of the whole street quite tense.

According to the London police, the two most dangerous places in London right now are St. Paul's Cathedral, where a grand mass is being celebrated, and the Ritz Hotel.

They don't want the bloody fight that took place in the Temple Church the night before to be staged again in London, turning the Ritz Hotel, which is a short distance from Buckingham Palace, into a hell. Don't they dare to be cautious?

It was getting closer and closer to 1:30 noon, and the entrance of the banquet hall became noisier.

"Why hasn't that guy Steven appeared yet? It's too tempting. I really want to enter the banquet hall right away to appreciate those antiques from the Middle Ages and even earlier times."

"Just now in St. Paul's Cathedral, I saw that guy Steven, standing next to the Pope, very beautiful, when will he return to the Ritz Hotel,

It's really hard to say! "

Everyone at the scene discussed one after another, and everyone was a little anxious to wait.

At this moment, Ye Tianqing's clear voice suddenly came from behind the crowd and reached the ears of everyone near the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Steven, sorry to keep you waiting, welcome to London, and thank you very much for your kindness, come to the Ritz Hotel to participate in this private exhibition!"

Hearing this, all the people gathered at the entrance of the banquet hall, waiting to enter, turned their heads in unison and looked towards the elevator.

When everyone turned their heads, they saw Ye Tian, ​​David and the others walking quickly, as well as several armed security personnel accompanying them.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others coming, everyone's eyes lit up and they became even more excited.

"Good afternoon, Steven, you are finally here. If I wait any longer, I should fall asleep. We came from Los Angeles overnight, and we came to the Ritz Hotel without even having time to catch the jet lag!"

The curator of the Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles said with a smile, the whole person is in good spirits, and there is no trace of fatigue.

Ye Tian stepped forward to shake hands with this old friend, and said with a smile:

"Good afternoon, James, great to see you here, welcome to London, welcome to my private presentation, I hope you will be rewarded and rewarded.

The Paul Getty Museum is one of the richest museums in the world. It has top-level business jets. Do you still need to beat jet lag? Wake up and arrive at London Heathrow Airport! "

After making a few jokes, Ye Tian shook hands and said hello to several top antique art appraisal experts from the Paul Getty Museum, as well as several other top collectors who also came from Los Angeles.

After walking a few steps forward, two top collectors in the UK greeted them again, and one of them asked expectantly:

"Good afternoon, Steven, I wonder if the crusader knight equipment of King Edward I and the Earl of Lancaster is still in your hands? If it is still there, I really want to keep those antique relics as my own.

I really want to own the golden crown of King Edward I, even at any cost, but I know that it is impossible, the British royal family will never allow that golden crown to fall aside! "

It's not just him, everyone gathered at the entrance of the banquet hall counts as one, who doesn't want to take those priceless treasures that are closely related to the British royal family into their pockets? No exception!

"swish"

Everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, ​​expecting him to give the answer to this question.

Ye Tian looked at the top British collector on the opposite side, then glanced at the crowd, then shrugged his shoulders pretending to be regretful, and said loudly with a smile on his face:

"I'm very sorry, Edward, and other gentlemen, the Crusader knight equipment of King Edward I and the Earl of Lancaster, as well as the most important golden crown of the Plantagenet dynasty, may not be with you.

Of course, in this upcoming private exhibition, you can see and admire the priceless antiques, but they are not among the antiques that can be traded today.

I have reached a preliminary agreement with the British royal family to exchange those priceless treasures for some high-quality Chinese antique artworks in the collection. If nothing unexpected happens, this antique artwork transaction should be successfully concluded.

In case the British royal family cannot meet the conditions I set out and this deal falls through, I will inform you at that time that friends who are interested in those priceless treasures can also trade with me for Chinese antiques of equal value."

"Hey! It's over!"

There was a sigh of relief at the scene, and a look of disappointment flashed across everyone's face.

"We are not the British royal family. How can we have so many collections of fine-quality Chinese antique artworks that we can trade with you to satisfy your amazing appetite?"

Edward said with a wry smile, his disappointment was beyond words.

While talking, Ye Tian and David had arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.

At the same time, Jason and other company employees who were staying in the banquet hall for the exhibition had received the news and immediately opened the door of the banquet hall.

As the door of the banquet hall opened, the guys gathered at the door immediately stood on tiptoes, stretched their necks, and began to look into the banquet hall. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot.

It is a pity that there is a tall screen erected inside the gate of the banquet hall. Except for the two sets of security inspection equipment placed on both sides and many armed security personnel with live ammunition, everyone did not see anything else.

"Gentlemen, this private exhibition will start soon. Please line up and enter in an orderly manner. When entering the banquet hall, everyone must undergo a security check. Please understand and cooperate.

The security matters inside and outside the banquet hall are all in the charge of my security personnel, please rest assured that this place is very safe, I hope you will have a good time here.”

Ye Tianqing's clear voice came out again and reached the ears of everyone present.

"clap clap"

There was a sudden burst of warm applause, and everyone gathered at the entrance of the banquet hall was applauding.

Amidst the applause, Ye Tian nodded again to the crowd, and then led David and the others into the banquet hall.
