Chapter 464: Ye Tian's Goal
How to refuse?
Faced with such an outstanding work of art, faced with such a large amount of wealth, it is too difficult to say the words of rejection! Whether Matthew, Evelyn and Logan, everyone is the same!
The guy in front of them is their daughter's boyfriend. It seems that there is nothing wrong with receiving his gift, even if the gift is very expensive!
Matthew and Evelyn can only comfort themselves in this way.
Only in this way can they convince themselves to accept this landscape oil painting! Own this masterpiece!
At this moment, Ye Tian gently squeezed Betty's hand, gave a look, and asked her to persuade their.
Betty knew immediately, smiled at Ye Tian and immediately began to persuade.
"Dad, Mom, please accept this oil painting. After all, it is Steven's gift. He is right. He has a lot of antique art at this price, so he won't care!"
This is the last straw! Evelyn made a decision in an instant!
"OK! I decided to accept this landscape oil painting. It is so beautiful that I can't refuse it! Thank you, Steven, this is such a great Thanksgiving gift! I like it very much!"
Got it! The mother-in-law also won it smoothly!
After Evelyn thanked him, Matthew also expressed his gratitude, his face flushed with excitement.
No matter who are, will be very excited when you receive such an expensive and thoughtful gift, nothing more!
Moreover, this oil painting has been personally appraised by him, it is very memorable, it is the first time to make a breakthrough! Can he not get excited?
The two gifts they received today can not only enhance the taste of one's own family, but also show their compelling style! It can also make this home decoration more beautiful and more moving!
At the same time, they also added a lot of heritage to the family and enhanced the ability to resist risks. What a beautiful thing!
Thinking of this, Matthew and Evelyn looked at Ye Tian's eyes suddenly more enthusiastic, they were 10,000 times satisfied with this future son-in-law!
This guy is not only incomparable in earning money, but also very caring. He considers everything in all aspects, he has no omissions in his work and he is also impeccable.
Although the time spent with him is still very short, both Matthew and Evelyn feel like a spring breeze, not to mention how comfortable it is!
At the same time, they also felt from Ye Tian a quality completely different from that of young Americans, that is, respect for their elders, which is absolutely impossible for young Americans!
Betty is right to entrust this kid, he can definitely bring Betty a happy life!
Where can they find such a son-in-law? they can't find it even with a lantern!
At this moment, in the eyes of Matthew and Evelyn, Ye Tian is perfect.
As for his high-profile and blatant behavior and his powerful ability to cause trouble, it was simply ignored, or completely ignored!
Looking at Ye Tian, not only Matthew and Evelyn, but also Logan, who is expected to see through.
This guy is obviously looking forward to a Thanksgiving gift!
Both father and mother have gifts, there is no reason to forget about him! What gift will it be? Logan muttered to himself and looked forward to it!
Of course there are his gifts, but they are not in Ye Tian's hands.
"Logan, come with me and I will tell you something!"
Betty greeted, then got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Okay! Here it comes!"
Logan responded and followed her, very excited.
After a while, cheers rang from the kitchen, no need to ask, the cheers came from Logan.
Betty's gift is a sports car, as long as it does not exceed $200,000, he can choose the brand, style and model at will. Hearing this news, Logan is of course ecstatic!
This money was provided by Betty herself, from her private money, which she insisted on, after all, Logan is her brother!
It was noon soon and Ye Tian and Betty sent their luggage into the room upstairs and went back downstairs.
Then, Evelyn and Betty went to prepare lunch, while the three men continued to talk in the living room.
After chatting for a while, the topic turned to the Gardner Museum robbery.
"Dad, talk about the Gardner Museum robbery. It was the most legendary heist in Boston in the past 30 years. There are all kinds of rumors and some are even exaggerated!
Unexpectedly, you used to work at the Gardner Museum. You must know a lot of inside information. Tell us about it. I really want to know about it. It must be very thrilling! "
Logan said excitedly, beaming.
"I would also like to hear the details of this robbery. This robbery is so famous in the art collection field. Everyone wants to find the top art works! Including me!"
Ye Tian echoed, his eyes flashed with excitement.
Don't let him find clues. Once there are clues, he will definitely be able to find these robbers, including the 13 top art works. This opportunity to make a fortune must not be missed!
Seeing that Ye Tian and the others were both interested in understanding that shaking robbery, Matthew did not refuse and immediately began to tell.
"Okay, since you want to hear it, let me tell you about the terrible robbery! I don't know much about it, but it's more accurate than the rumors on the market.
The robbery took place during the St. Patrick's Day holiday in 1990. At 1 am on March 18th, it was the changing of the guard at the museum. After a little while, there were only two security guards left in the museum!
At about 1:30 in the morning, two police officers rang the doorbell of the museum, claiming that there was a disturbance in the backyard of the museum and they wanted to check it out to ensure the safety of the museum.
The museum security guard on duty that day was a newcomer and knew that strangers should not be allowed into the museum, but did not know whether this rule applies to the police! So he opened the door.
Obviously, these two policemen were fakes, they were two robbers in disguise. After entering the museum, they subdued the two security guards and then they started looting frantically!"
"It's too easy! The people at the Gardner Museum are all idiots!"
Logan scolded angrily, but he did not realize that even his father was scolded! His father was in the Gardner Museum at the time!
"Puff!"
Ye Tian didn't hold back his laugh and immediately stopped the laughter.
Matthew's old face suddenly reddened, suppressing the urge to run wild and continued to tell the situation at that time!
"The two robbers went directly to the Dutch Hall and looted a total of 13 works of art, each of which was top art, including Vermeer's "The Concert", Rembrandt's "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee", etc. .
Vermeer's "The Concert" alone was valued at as high as $200 million in 1990! And the total value of these stolen artworks is as high as 500 million U.S. dollars, which is even higher now!
Fortunately, they did not go to the Titian showroom on the third floor, where Titian's "The Rape of Europa" is on display, which is a rare treasure with a single item worth far more than 500 million US dollars!"
"Indeed! Vermeer's works are too few in existence, only 34 pieces, each of which is invaluable! And "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee" is the only existing seascape painting by Rembrandt, and its value is immeasurable! "
Ye Tian said with emotion, as if he wanted to be one of the two robbers, that robbed the Gardner Museum! Take all the top artworks as his own!
"The two robbers ransacked the Gardner Museum frantically for 81 minutes, then left the museum swaggeringly, drove away in the car and disappeared completely!
Those 13 top artworks also disappeared completely. They have never appeared in more than two decades. There is no information at all. Who knows if they still exist in the world. If they are destroyed, it would be a pity!
What's even more annoying is that the Gardner Museum didn't buy insurance for such a valuable top-level artworks and could only smash the teeth and swallow it in the stomach, without receiving a penny of compensation!
More than two decades have passed since the big robbery and there is still no news about these top artworks and now that the validity period of the lawsuit has passed, the robbers are completely at free!"
Matthew went on to talk about some subsequent investigations, which were all unknown inside information.
"The Boston Police and the FBI were like crazy at the time. They conducted internal investigations, interrogated all employees again and again and turned over the entire Boston and even the entire Massachusetts several times...."
These inside stories were the first time they heard, Ye Tian and Logan both heard them very much.
Five or six minutes later, Matthew had just finished talking about the terrible robbery, his face full of distressed expressions. Obviously, the impact of this robbery was not small.
He believe that everyone at the Gardner Museum was the same at that time and they all suffered a lot.
After the excitement, Ye Tian asked thoughtfully:
"Mr. Walter, are there any suspects by the Boston police? Are the rewards for these artworks still available? The jurisdiction of this case is in the hands of the Boston police or the FBI?"
"Why do you think about asking this? Steven, are you interested in this case?"
Matthew asked in surprise, Logan was also a little puzzled and a little excited.
"Yes! I am really interested in this terrible robbery, but the purpose is not the offer rewards from the police and museums. My purpose is the 13 top artworks!
I am a professional treasure hunter. I am 100 times more confident than the police and the FBI when it comes to finding artworks! Maybe I can find those top art works!"
Ye Tian nodded and said with confidence.
Those are 13 top art works. If they can be found, it will definitely be a windfall!
Matthew and Logan were completely stunned, staring at Ye Tian dumbfounded, with shocking eyes!
This guy's appetite is too big! In a blink of an eye, he was eyeing the biggest art robbery in history. It was crazy!
After a short while, Matthew said:
"The police did have suspects, they were the former security guards of the two museums, but they did not find the top art works when they searched their houses and everything was in vain!
They interrogated the two security guards several times and even used a polygraph, but still found nothing. Eventually, they had to release the two security guards and continue to monitor them.
The rewards for these works of art are still there and they are now as high as 20 million U.S. dollars, but if you want to receive this reward, the possibility is almost zero and you can't even find valid clues!
At first, there was a special case team in charge of this case. After a few years of no results, the Boston police close the case. Now the jurisdiction of this case should be in the hands of the FBI's art crime team!"
"Thank you, I know now!"
Ye Tian replied and immediately began to think about the operability of this matter.
Before long, lunch was ready.
Afterwards, Ye Tian temporarily put the matter aside and walked to the dinner room with Logan and Matthew!
