Chapter 1301: Who is the robber

"That's right, Martinez, this is the right attitude to talk about trading!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and glanced at the French Ministry of Culture official with disdain.

Hearing this, the French people on the opposite side rolled their eyes anger, but they were helpless.

After a short pause, Ye Tian began to list his exchange terms, preparing to slaughter these Frenchmen with a single blow.

"Martinez, Benoit, whether the Louvre or the Fontainebleau, if you want these three top jewellery pieces, you must exchange them for the Chinese antique artworks in the collection.

There is no discussion on this point. The Chinese antique artworks used for exchange must be top-notch goods that can impress me. Don't use the average value of the money to top up, otherwise it will only mess up the transaction.

The specific Chinese antique artworks used for exchange have not yet been determined. I will go to Paris the day after tomorrow at the latest. Then I can go to your two museums for a field trip!

For example, I am very interested in the bronze elephant statue from the late Yin and Shang period in China displayed in the Louvre branch and the Guimei Asian Art Museum. I want to include it..."

Before Ye Tian's words fell, Martinez on the opposite side had already exploded, and the other Frenchmen were also full of anger, with anger surging in their eyes.

"That bronze elephant statue in the Jimei Museum? Don't even think about it. It is the treasure of the Guimei Museum, and it is the largest animal statue known in the world! The value is immeasurable!

You want the bronze elephant statue and other Chinese antique works of art, Steven, you dare to open your teeth too! To be honest, I have never seen a **** more greedy than you!

These jewels of Queen Mary are important and have a very significant historical significance, but there is also a limit. You can't talk about the lion because of this. How is this different from robbery? "

Martinez said loudly, his eyes full of anger.

"That's right, Steven, you are Chi Guoguo taking advantage of the fire, it's not authentic!"

Benoa agreed, his expression also very ugly.

Ye Tian glanced at the Frenchmen across from him, then said with a sneer:

"Say my exchange method is robbery? I heard that right? You French, especially the Louvre and Fontainebleau, are probably the least qualified to say such things!

How did the tens of thousands of Chinese antique art works in the Guimei Asian Art Museum come from? I'm afraid you are very clear in your heart, I have summarized it, there are three ways.

The first is that after the Opium War, the French and French looted and looted from China, and the second is that many French people who went to China in various names stole them from China by various means!

The third is to take advantage of China's long-term civil strife and collude with some warlords and profiteers who have forgotten their ancestors, buy them at a very low price, and then smuggle them out of the country. This behavior is tantamount to plunder!

Let’s talk about the Louvre, known as the Majestic Palace. Napoleon I contributed the most collections to the Louvre. How did those collections come from? It is not Napoleon who snatched it from Europe and North Africa!

Napoleon’s famous saying, “The most talented works of art must belong to France.” It can be said that everyone knows that most of the exquisite antique works of art in the Louvre are all snatched, right?

There is also the Palace of Fontainebleau, Benoit, as the museum curator of the Palace of Fontainebleau, you should know better than anyone, where the Chinese antique artworks in the Palace of Fontainebleau come from!

They all come from the imperial gardens of China and the Old Summer Palace that was ransacked by the British and French forces. The reason why the Fontainebleau Palace became a museum is to display and display the treasures from China!

These top jewellery pieces of Queen Mary represent a period of history during the French Revolution; those antique artworks from China represent ancient Chinese history and are also very important.

The exchange between them is very reasonable in my opinion. If the transaction is concluded, I will bring those Chinese antique artworks back to China. That piece of land is where they should most exist! "

The voice fell, and the meeting room immediately became quiet again, without any sound.

The faces of the French people on the opposite side became very ugly, and they were also extremely embarrassed. Their faces were red and white, not to mention embarrassing!

Obviously, Ye Tian's remarks hit their weakness, and they couldn't refute it at all!

I know the most about my own affairs. How did the Chinese antique artworks in the two famous museums come from? I am afraid they are the least willing to mention!

There are countless Chinese cultural relics in the Louvre. There are tens of thousands of Chinese cultural relics in the Jimei Museum alone. Among them, 12,000 pieces of ceramics of the past dynasties and more than 6,000 pieces are fine Chinese porcelains of the past dynasties.

These porcelains cover the entire series from the original porcelain to the Ming and Qing porcelains, all dynasties and famous kilns, and it is the overseas museum with the largest collection of Chinese porcelain!

Even some well-known domestic museums have porcelain collections far inferior to the Gilmei Museum. It is estimated that the Forbidden City and the National Museum can be compared with them. It is not certain who is higher and who is lower!

In addition to a large number of fine porcelains, the Jimei Museum also has a large collection of Chinese art. There are more than 200 pieces of Tang and Song paintings that can be called top art works!

As for the paintings of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the number is even greater!

There are countless other antique works of art such as bronzes, rare books and ancient books!

Not to mention the Palace of Fontainebleau. Almost all of the Chinese antique artworks in this museum come from the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens and the Old Summer Palace. They were all plundered from China by the French!

The awkward atmosphere lasted for nearly half a minute before Martinez broke it out.

"Steven, it is not something we can decide in one word to exchange the Chinese antique art collections in our two museums for these top jewellery. We must have a meeting to discuss.

Especially here is the bronze elephant statue from the late Yin and Shang Dynasty, which is the treasure of the Jimei Museum, and there are other top Chinese antique works of art. It is even more impossible to make a decision quickly!

We need time to discuss whether to accept your exchange proposal. Just now you said that you will go to Paris tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. That would be great. We can continue to discuss this matter in Paris! "

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said:

"There is time, and I have the patience to continue to wait. A good meal is not afraid of being late! You can go back to Paris to discuss whether to accept my suggestion, as long as I make a decision before I leave Europe!

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will indeed go to Paris. I will also visit the Louvre, the Guimet Asian Art Museum, and the Fontainebleau Palace to enjoy the collections of your museums.

But one thing I must state in advance, before we reach an agreement and sign the relevant agreement, the top jewellery in front of you will never enter France!

Even if we reach an exchange agreement, the entire exchange process must be led by us, that is to say, the place and time of the exchange, and the order of the handover are all determined by us.

I hope you can understand this. This is Europe, your home court, not New York, USA. We must be cautious to prevent any unexpected situations.

Regarding my personal credibility, you can rest assured that I have never been a fat man who broke my promise. This is well known, and at the same time, you should also know that no one wants to take advantage of me! "

Hearing these words, the faces of the French people on the opposite side couldn't help changing, and a hint of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes, and they cursed secretly!

This **** **** is so cunning! It's impossible to take advantage of it!

As long as the jewellery of Queen Mary is still in his hands and not in France, then people like him can only be led by the nose, and there is nothing wrong with taking Steven as a bastard!

When they enter France, they will use insidious tricks to deal with the **** Steven? Or just send him to court and ask him to hand over the top jewellery of Queen Mary?

Just forget it! Who threatened this **** Steven? I have never heard of it!

As a result of doing so, not only will you not get the top jewellery of Queen Mary, it will also incur fierce revenge from the **** Steven!

You know, this is a cruel and uninhibited bastard! If he is stared at, it is likely to be a nightmare that will never wake up!

In the following time, the two sides continued to discuss this antique art transaction for a while, but the atmosphere was not particularly harmonious.

Soon, more than half an hour passed.

After the negotiation, the two sides did not reach any results, so there is no need to continue.

The opposite Martinez stood up first, smiled and stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian.

"Steven, let's stop here today, and there will be no results if we continue to talk. We are leaving Antwerp and rush back to Paris as soon as possible to meet to discuss your terms.

Regardless of whether this transaction can be achieved, on behalf of the Louvre Museum, I welcome you to Paris, welcome to visit the Louvre, and welcome you to visit the Guimet Museum! "

Ye Tian shook hands with the other party smiled and nodded and said:

"Martinez, since I have come to Europe, I will naturally not miss the romantic capital of Paris. I will go to enjoy the charm of that historic city. It must be very exciting!

As an insider in the field of antique art, I will not miss the large and small museums in Paris, especially the Louvre, which is known as the Majestic Palace. It is definitely not to be missed! "

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian shook hands with Benova at the Palace of Fontainebleau and said a few polite words.

After saying goodbye to each other, these French people left the meeting room and drove straight to the airport, ready to return to France!

Ye Tian and the others did not stay at the Hilton Hotel for a long time. After enjoying a good lunch here, they drove back to Diamond Street.

It's time to store the top jewellery of Queen Mary and buy a huge short-term insurance, so it's safe!

Located in the Diamond Center on Diamond Street, there is a vault with the highest security level in the entire Europe, and there are also many commercial insurance companies!
