Chapter 231: Much-anticipated

As soon as the Treasure Hunting video appeared on youTube, it immediately attracted countless attention.

"Treasures in a Manhattan Apartment", seeing this eye-catching name, many people couldn't suppress their curiosity, and clicked on this video for the first time.

As the video began to play, the exclamation sound resounded across every network terminal.

Especially those who know these two oil paintings, those who know Paul Cézanne, and those who know Ye Tian, ​​are completely shocked after watching this video!

Soon, the video comments area and many painting art forums became extremely hot!

"He found a treasure at home, two famous paintings by Paul Cézanne! How much are they worth? This kid is definitely the luckiest guy this year!"

"Even without these two famous paintings, Steven is the luckiest guy! He is a professional treasure hunter and has dug up several treasures this year! This is just icing on the cake!"

"These two oil paintings are probably worth nearly 100 million U.S. dollars! To fall into the hands of one person so easily, it is envious to death!"

Compared with the shock caused by online onlookers, this video has a stronger shock effect in the media, museums, oil painting circles, and art collection fields.

Soon after the video came out, an ongoing meeting in The New York Times was interrupted by the trainee assistant who rushed into the meeting room excitedly.

"That guy Steven has found the treasure again. In his luxurious apartment on 110 Street, has a hidden wall from which he found two world-famous paintings.

Paul Cézanne's "Mont Sainte-Victoire" and "The Boy in the Red Vest", Steven filmed the excavation process and posted it on the Internet, which has caused a sensation!"

The reporters and editors who were in the meeting were completely stunned. Staring dumbfounded at the intern assistant, as if they could not believe what they had just heard.

Why is it him again? Is Treasure related to him? Treasures can be found in the apartment! What a joke!

After a short pause, several people immediately exploded.

"Oh my God! These are actually these two oil paintings! It's Steven bastard again! Ready to come out, let's go to 110 Street now, this news is so interesting!"

With the order from the lead reporter, these people immediately began to get busy.

Ten minutes later, an interview vehicle rushed out of the office building where the "New York Times" was located, and drove directly to 110 Street, north of Central Park.

Not only was the "New York Times" staged this scene, almost all New York media had reporters drove to 110 Street, everyone was extremely excited, as if they were the ones who found the treasure!

Metropolitan Museum of New York.

The door of the curator's office was knocked open, and the head of the oil painting art department quickly walked in.

"Paul Cézanne's "Mont Sainte-Victoire" and "The Boy in the Red Vest" appeared in New York, right in Manhattan, and in the hands of the same person, just posted an online video!"

The director of the oil painting department said excitedly, the whole person is almost flying!

"'The Boy in the Red Vest'? Isn't it in our showroom? What does it mean to appear again? Is it another one? "Mont Sainte-Victoire" is the other one in the series?"

The curator was a little surprised at first, and then stood up in shock, his face full of ecstasy.

"Of course it is not the "Young Man in the Red Vest" in the museum. It is the oil painting that has disappeared for 25 years and leaned on the window with akimbo. It is better than the one in our museum.

The same is true of "Mont Sainte-Victoire", a masterpiece that made a splash in Paris 25 years ago and has no news since then. I did not expect that they have been hidden in Manhattan!"

The head of the oil painting department quickly explained that his eyes were full of fanaticism.

After listening to the explanation, the curator shook his fist in excitement and made a decision instantly.

"Contact the owner immediately, since this top oil painting appears in New York, right at the door of the house, we must take it in the metropolis and we must not miss it!"

"I'm afraid not. As soon as these two oil paintings were released, they were immediately sent to Sotheby's auction house for the autumn auction in New York! Public auction!"

"Then contact Simon of Sotheby's, he must be in charge of these two oil paintings, first confirm the news and the authenticity of these two oil paintings, and then think of other solutions!"

The curator was taken aback for a moment, and immediately spoke.

As you can see, he was obviously disappointed.

He understands very well that it is almost impossible for the Metropolis to win these two oil paintings in the New York autumn auction!

No matter how rich the museum is, it cannot be compared with those billionaires! New York autumn auctions have always been the arena of billionaires, nothing else!

The Museum of Modern Art has also begun to take action. Other museums in New York and many high-end galleries are all gearing up to get the two top oil paintings.

For many museums and galleries, these two oil paintings are the treasure of the town hall! Since he appeared at the door of his house, how could he miss it?

At this time, many French museums, as well as the field of art collection, oil painting, and even ordinary citizens were also disturbed by this video.

Several people are holding an emergency meeting on this matter at the Louvre in France.

"These two paintings were in the hands of a professional treasure hunter in New York. They were found inside the wall of a new apartment. Videos were taken during the whole process and they have been circulated on the Internet!"

"Damn! It's these Yankees again! Go to New York right away and try to bring these two oil paintings back to Paris and the Louvre. These are French art treasures! Can't fall into the hands of a bunch of barbaric cowboys!"

"Yes! The Louvre is the best place to show them!"

In the famous painter village in Montmartre hills near Paris, many painters are discussing these two oil paintings.

"Pierre should not have taken these two oil paintings to New York, because it was cheap for the Chinese boy!"

"What a pity! What two perfect masterpieces! Seeing that they are going to be furiously contested by those rich bastards again! It is a blasphemy of art!"

At this time, the most regretful and painful one is the children of French painter Pierre.

When he saw Ye Tian holding two top oil paintings and firmly declared that they belonged to him, the regretful hearts of Pierre's children were bleeding, and they even wanted to jump into the Atlantic Ocean!

Why didn't they check the apartment carefully! Maybe they just need to check it again, and these two oil paintings belong to they, not the nasty Chinese bastard!

But this is the end of the matter, and they can only find a solution.

Not long after the video was released, the children of Pierre gathered together and began to discuss how to deal with it.

"Why did Dad hide them? Didn't tell us, this is all right! That bastard has nothing to do with us at all!"

"That's a huge wealth of over 100 million U.S. dollars! We must not be robbed crazy by that Chinese bastard. I'm going to New York to recover these two oil paintings!"

"How to chase? The apartment already belongs to that bastard, all the procedures have been completed, we also divided the money, there is no room for regret.

Whether in France or the United States, everything in that apartment belongs to him. It is indisputable. Even if we raise objections, the law will not support it!

It can be seen from the video that this Chinese bastard is deliberate, doing everything seamlessly, with conclusive evidence, has no handle at all!"

After Pierre's eldest son said this paragraph, the room immediately became quiet, and everyone's face was extremely ugly, black and purple!

No one can think of a way, but everyone's eyes are full of unwillingness!

Those are two top oil paintings worth nearly 100 million U.S. dollars or even more! Who can easily put it down? Unless a saint! The children of Pierre are obviously not!

World-famous museums such as the British Museum and the Pompidou Culture and Arts Center in France were also shocked by this video and prepared to take action.

The royal family of Qatar, who had previously spent $250 million to bid "The Card Players", also received news.

They are going to wave the checkbook again, take down these two top oil paintings by Paul Cézanne, add two more famous artworks to the royal family, and enhance the royal family's artistic taste.

As for the dollar, that has never been a problem! Just like underground oil, as much as you want!

There are also many famous collectors who are just as excited and ready to participate in the competition of these two top artworks.

Suddenly, the European and American art market was completely stirred by this video and became turbulent!

...

Ye Tian, ​​who is in the Manhattan apartment, has already felt this strong shock wave.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the apartment building was surrounded by reporters, armed with numerous long cameras and short cameras, filming and photographing wildly at the apartment building.

What is the ultimate luxury of a $55 millions mansion? Apart from the hidden wall, are there other hidden spaces in this apartment? Are there any undiscovered top artworks?

Every reporter was full of curiosity about Ye Tian's apartment, eager to find out.

In addition to curiosity, feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred are also permeating in front of the apartment building.

Top luxury house, top sports cars, top artworks, never-ending dollars,..., what the hell is life!

The reporters were shooting wildly outside, and Ye Tian was not idle in the apartment either.

Half an hour after the video was released, his cell phone started ringing without interruption.

Those who called were from major museums in New York, well-known collectors, and many high-end galleries. He didn't know where they heard Ye Tian's mobile phone number, and they started to contact him.

These people are straightforward, or roundabout, but the ultimate goal is two famous paintings! Everyone wants to take them, and the prices offered are quite attractive!

But Ye Tian's answer is very clear. See you in the New York autumn auction! Fair competition, the highest price wins!

He wants to eat the biggest piece of cake, so naturally he won't be tempted by this benefit!

Seeing that there were more and more reporters outside, Ye Tian decided to go out and explain, let the reporters leave as soon as possible, so as not to block the traffic, which would attract complaints from the police and neighbors.

At this time, David had left, and there were only three people left in the apartment, Ye Tian, ​​Betty, and Jennifer.

"Honey! I'll deal with the reporter, you stay at home!"

Ye Tian talked to Betty and the others before going downstairs.

"My dear, be safe! These reporters are crazy!"

Betty exhorted, she was a little worried.

"I see, just some reporters, no threat!"

Ye Tian said lightly, and then walked to the door.

With his current level of close combat, how could these reporters threaten him? And he still had a CZ83 stuck in his back, enough to deal with any situation.

Soon, the door of the apartment building opened and Ye Tian walked out.

Seeing him appear, many reporters immediately rushed in and blocked him at the door of the apartment building in a blink of an eye.

The two policemen who were keeping order were almost overwhelmed by the turbulent crowd, and they were only able to step back and watch Ye Tian accept the interview, their teeth gritting with hatred!

Before the reporters rushed over to stand still, Ye Tian said loudly:

"Good afternoon everyone! Thank you for your attention. I know why you are here, but today there are too many people and the place is not suitable. I will not accept questions.

Let me clarify that the two paintings of Paul Cézanne have been sent to Sotheby's auction house. They are not in my apartment, and there are no other treasures here.

If you want to know about the two oil paintings, just watch the video. I will hold a press conference at Sotheby's at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please attend by then.

In addition to showing two oil paintings by Paul Cézanne, I will also make some explanations. In addition, my piece of gold nugget will also be displayed on site tomorrow.

That's all there is to say, please pay attention to tomorrow's news conference, now scattered, so many people gathered together, it's a bit of a hindrance to traffic."

After speaking, he immediately opened the door and returned to the apartment building, ignoring the loud questions from the reporter behind him.

When he disappeared in the elevator, the reporters could only calm down and gradually dispersed, waiting for the press conference to begin tomorrow.

Although some reporters kept leaving, more came afterwards.

Not only were there many New York reporters at the scene, but many reporters from New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and other places also rushed over.

In addition, there are also many people who came here to watch the excitement after watching the online video of hunting treasure.

Without exception, everyone is enthusiastic and their eyes are red with envy.

These people gathered together in front of the apartment building, discussing the two top oil paintings, discussing nuggets, discussing the luxurious apartment building in front of them and Ye Tian in the apartment, they do their own way. What to do is not affect at all.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

A huge Cadillac Escalade bulletproof SUV drove out of the apartment garage and drove directly to Fifth Avenue.

It was Ye Tian who was driving. He took Betty and Jennifer, and was about to go out for dinner.

When they saw this Cadillac, the reporters immediately followed, they had already found out some of Ye Tian's cars.

The police and FBI followed, cursing in a low voice.
