Chapter 555： Face the FBI Art Crime Group
Half an hour later, the complete confidentiality agreement was released.
After repeated checks and confirmation that there were no problems, Ye Tiancai approved the confidentiality agreement and sent it to everyone in the suite for everyone to read and sign.
The scope of confidentiality stipulated in this agreement covers all content related to the Boston treasure hunt, as well as subsequent negotiations with the FBI, various museums and collectors, until it is completely concluded!
Even if the matter is completely over, some details of this treasure hunt are still not allowed to be leaked.
Such as tracking and monitoring, eavesdropping, modification, and how to sneak into the Old North Church, etc., this is to avoid some unnecessary troubles.
While delimiting the scope of confidentiality, it also clarifies the penalties for violating the agreement. From suspension of bonuses, to dismissal, to court proceedings, the penalties are not harsh and deterrent!
Everyone in the suite quickly signed a non-disclosure agreement. Even Walker, Raymond, Kenny and Byrne, who were staying in the temporary apartment, signed the agreement under the witness of David's video.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian signed a lawyer's agency contract with David, specifically for the contract for this treasure hunt, which was signed in a blink of an eye.
So far, the legal procedures have been basically completed.
Ye Tian very smoothly built a firewall in front of him, making himself more invulnerable and more convenient!
Next, it's time to knock on the FBI's art crime team, and there are museums that are ready for the first wave of exposure, the Gardner Museum, the Boston Museum of Art, and the William Fogg Museum of Harvard University!
These three museums all have stolen top antique works of art in that underground palace. Since they are in Boston, they are the first to be contacted. Are they near the water?
After receiving the signed confidentiality agreement and agency contract, Ye Tian got up and took his notebook, opened it on the coffee table.
"Guys, come and take a look at this video. Later, I am going to show this video to the FBI Art Crime Group and several related museums. You can take a look!"
With that, he took out a small USB flash drive from his pocket, plugged it into the computer, and selected a clipped video to start playing.
David, a few assistants, and Matisse all gathered around and started watching this video. Everyone was very excited and very curious!
Except for Ye Tian, no one else in the suite has watched the video taken in the underground palace, so they are naturally full of expectations.
The video began to play, and Rembrandt appeared on the computer screen, the picture was very clear.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian's voice came from the computer, and the most professional explanation and appraisal opinions followed.
"Look, everyone, this is the greatest painter of the 17th century in Europe..."
The explanation soon ended, the picture changed, and the next famous painting immediately appeared on the computer screen. It was Rembrandt again, this time his self-portrait!
At the same time, Ye Tian's voice rang in everyone's ears again, still a very professional explanation and appraisal.
When watching these video materials and admiring the top art works, there was a constant exclamation in the suite. Every voice was full of joy and excitement!
In 1990, the 13 top art pieces stolen from the Gardner Museum in Boston were displayed on the computer screen one by one. There were not many of them, and they were kept intact!
When the video was finished, a voice of emotion immediately sounded in the suite.
"It's so beautiful! It's worthy of being the work of the top art masters. It really deserves its name! No wonder the Gardner Museum still has the empty picture frames hanging on it so far! The loss is really heavy!"
"Seriously, apart from the Metropolitan Museum in New York and MOMA, this is the first time I have seen so many works by top art masters. It's an eye-opener!"
Hearing Anderson's feelings, Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle.
"These paintings are really beautiful, but this is just the beginning. There are more top antique artworks in the future, not necessarily inferior to these 13 artworks, everyone will continue to appreciate!"
After speaking, he clicked on another video.
This time it is the stolen antique works of art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
As the computer screen changed, his voice floated into everyone's ears again.
"This is a masterpiece from Delacroix, a famous French romantic painter. It was previously collected by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It was stolen in 2007 and at the same time..."
The video of the stolen artworks at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts soon finished, and Ye Tian immediately clicked on another video.
This is a video of the stolen antique artworks from the Harvard University Museum. Two antiques and two famous paintings are equally valuable!
After playing this video, Ye Tian unplugged the U disk, closed the laptop, and ended the short presentation.
At this time, David and the others were still immersed in the shock brought by the videos just now, and each one was ecstatically admired, and there were even a few guys who were so excited to dance!
"Oh my God! So many top antique works of art, what a huge fortune! I have made a fortune, no doubt!"
"This is definitely the craziest art thieves I have ever seen, a hundred times better than those in Hollywood movies! It's incredible!"
"Papa"
Ye Tian slapped his chin twice and awakened the guys.
Then he smiled and said:
"Well, guys, these three pieces of video data just now are what I am going to show to the FBI's art crime team today, including those in charge of the three museums.
Let’s get ready, let’s set off in a while and knock on the door of the FBI art crime team. Our chance to make a fortune is here, and another battle has begun. We will definitely be the winner! "
As soon as the voice fell, cheers sounded immediately.
"That's right, Steven, the victory belongs to us!"
"It's so cool! I finally have to face the FBI, interesting!"
After the cheers, everyone immediately started to split up and make preparations before sending out.
Ye Tian picked up the phone and walked into the next bedroom with David.
After closing the door, Ye Tian said immediately:
"David, I'm going to contact the FBI Art Crime Team, you come to witness this call!"
After speaking, he started to make calls, using hands-free, and also activated the recording function.
The number of the person in charge of the FBI's art crime team has long been found, just for this moment.
"Okay! Steven"
David responded and said nothing more.
After the bell rang a few times, a low male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, who is looking for me? Anything?"
This one is obviously very cautious, not like the habit of an ordinary old American to answer the phone, and just report his name when he comes up.
"Good morning, Mr. Armstrong, take the liberty to bother me, I'm Steven, my Chinese name is Ye Tian, I come from China and I live in New York, I wonder if you have heard of my name!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone was very calm and polite.
The guy on the other side of the phone was obviously taken aback, and only asked in surprise after two or three seconds:
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, you are a superstar in the field of antique art collection and a billionaire in the limelight. Of course I know and I know your deeds very well.
It’s just that I’m a little curious, we don’t seem to have ever dealt with each other, why do you remember calling me? How do you know my mobile phone number? I would love to know the answer! "
"Excessive reputation! My reputation is not worth mentioning. We really haven't dealt with before, but from now on, we probably have to deal with each other often. I hope we can become good friends.
As for your mobile phone number, as long as you are interested, it is not difficult to inquire, and I am the one who is interested, but it is still a bit presumptuous. If it really disturbs you, then I can only say sorry!
As far as I know, you are the head of the FBI's art crime team. That's why I called you. To put it bluntly, I want to discuss a business with the FBI's art crime team, a big deal! "
After some nutritious nonsense, Ye Tian finally cut into the subject.
"Yes! I am indeed the head of the FBI's art crime team. Your information is very good, but we don't seem to have any intersection? I wonder what business you want to do with us? Let's listen!"
Armstrong asked puzzledly, presumably this would be full of question marks.
"I can guarantee that you will be interested in this business! The next thing is very important. I hope you can keep it secret. I also believe that you will keep this secret.
Before getting into the main topic, I must state that our call is being recorded throughout the whole process, and my lawyer is by his side. He will witness the whole process of the call. I hope you can understand! "
Ye Tian explained a few words, this is a step that must be done and can avoid a lot of trouble.
The phone is silent!
After a short while, Armstrong's voice came.
"Okay, Steven, I don't mind the recording of the call. If what you say is really important and it is not illegal, I will keep it secret. Please rest assured that you can start!"
"Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Armstrong! Let's talk about business. In Boston, I found an international art crime group. The scale is very large. It has never appeared in the United States!
Through some technical means, I obtained several video materials, from which I saw 13 top art works stolen in the Gardner Museum in 1990, one of them is quite a lot! How are you interested? "
Ye Tian's tone was very relaxed, but the content in his words was like a depth bomb, which was extremely shocking.
Armstrong on the other end of the phone was completely stunned, and there was no voice After a while, his voice suddenly octaves higher from the phone.
"Steven, did you find a large-scale international art crime syndicate in Boston? It's true, why don't I believe it?
Also, did you really see the 13 top artworks that were looted at the Gardner Museum? Am I right? how can that be? That was an unsolved case for more than 20 years! "
"Mr. Armstrong, the video material is the best evidence. When you read the video material in my hand, you will understand that what I said is completely true!
Should we meet? Don't know if you are in Washington, or where else? I’m in Boston right now, and I can leave to meet you at any time"
Ye Weather said calmly, his tone was very confident and beyond doubt.
After a short pause for two or three seconds, Armstrong's excited voice sounded again.
"Okay, Steven, we should indeed meet. I hope everything you say is true. I'm in Washington, so I'll take a helicopter and get to Boston before one point!"
"Liar! You're obviously in Boston, but you don't have to say that you are in Washington, don't you just open your eyes and talk nonsense?"
Ye Tian complained to himself, but did not expose the other party's lies.
After all, the other party also needs to make some preparations, discuss countermeasures, and definitely set aside some time.
"OK! Mr. Armstrong, I am waiting for your call. See you this afternoon!"
Ye Tian said politely, and then ended the call.
Then, he and David discussed for a while in the bedroom, mainly discussing the details of the afternoon meeting, and then the two went out of the bedroom.
Lunch time is almost here, and there is another battle!
