Chapter 558: Showing Ambition

"Count me, there are four stolen antique works from our Harvard University Museum, I don't know which bastard you are interested in?"

Robert was also very interested and came to join in the fun.

Is this what the negotiation looks like!

Without hesitation for a moment, Ye Tian smiled and began to show his ambition.

"Since you are very interested, let me talk about it. Let's start with the 13 top art pieces stolen from the Gardner Museum. This should be the starting point of the whole case.

The most valuable of those works of art are Vermeer's "The Concert" and Rembrandt's "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee". I have to win one of these two top oil paintings and there is no discussion!"

Isaac exploded immediately upon hearing this.

The old man was as if getting an electric shock, he stood up, his eyes widened and he opened his mouth to yell at him!

At this moment, Brandon shook his arm and said in a low voice:

"Isaac, don't get angry yet, listen to this bastard, see what else he wants!"

"Fuck! I really opened my eyes today, there is such a greedy bastard in the world!"

Isaac cursed angrily in a low voice, then sat down.

Next, he stared at Ye Tian, ​​his eyelids were not blinking, the energy of gnashing his teeth! It's nothing more than seeing an enemy!

Ye Tian simply ignored the old man's performance and still went his own way.

"Except for the two most valuable top oil paintings, the self-portrait of Rembrandt created in 1634, known as the 'Self-Portrait', must also belong to me.

Manet's portrait of "Chez Tortoni", I am sure to get it, as well as two sketches of Degas "Three Mounted Jockeys" and "Cortege aux Environs de Florence".

The last treasure is a bronze ware from the ancient Shang Dynasty in China, 3200 years ago, "GU", I am a Chinese and of course I have to get back the treasure that belongs to us!

I want this much and it's actually less than half of the total. How about, Mr. Isaac, isn't this request too much? You can think about it."

With that said, he also nodded to Isaac with a smile on his face.

Before he could finish his words, Isaac stood up abruptly again and shouted furiously:

"Steven, you're a fucking robber, a villain! It's not too much? You took the best treasures away, what can we have left?"

The old man has been so angry that his face is flushed, his eyes are round, he is blood-red and the green veins on his forehead and neck are exposed. There is a possibility of pushing him at any time!

The other people were also very angry, their eyes widened and they stared at Ye Tian fiercely. Each pair of eyes contained endless anger.

"Isaac, calm down a little bit. Everything can be discussed. I can give up the most expensive Vermeer's "The Concert" and choose the lesser Rembrandt's "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee".

Degas's sketch of "Three Mounted Jockeys", I can also give up at my discretion. As for the other antique works of art, there is no discussion, I must take it, you think about it!"

With a smile on his face, Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed down, making some concessions.

"You are wishful thinking, unless I die, don't even think about it!"

Isaac stunned back, as if he had taken gunpowder.

"Consider slowly, I believe you will agree. I have patience and can wait! After talking about the stolen antique works of the Gardner Museum, let's talk about the treasures of the Boston Museum of Art!"

Ye Tian said firmly, beyond doubt!

Then he turned his target to Brandon again and nodded at the old man with a smile.

Seeing his gesture, Brandon immediately felt a panic and his calf was about to cramp!

"In that warehouse, the Boston Museum of Art had six stolen artworks, all of which were paintings. Three were from Europe and three were from China.

All I need are those three ancient Chinese ink landscapes, "Autumn Scenery of the River and Mountains" by Li Tang in the early Southern Song Dynasty, "Night Return of the Maple Forest" by Ni Zan in the Yuan Dynasty, and "Picture of Songgu Mountain Village" by the Bada Shanren in the early Qing Dynasty.

Like a few treasures, Ye Tian quickly listed three famous ancient Chinese paintings.

Just after he finished speaking, Brandon pushed aside the chair, stood up abruptly and yelled:

"That's impossible, stop dreaming, Steven, you robber!"

"Would you like to change it? I don't want ancient Chinese paintings, but those three famous European paintings will do, too, Renoir's "Out of the Bath", Gainsborough's "River View", Pissarro's "A Forest in the Snow"".

Ye Tian said with a light smile, his expression very relaxed.

He was very sure that Brandon would never accept this exchange plan.

Although Ye Tian prefers the three ancient Chinese paintings and he thinks they are more valuable and worth collecting!

But if you look at the market value, the three famous European paintings are obviously more expensive.

Especially the paintings of Renoir and Pissarro are at least 20 million US dollars or more!

Sure enough, hearing these words, Brandon's roar suddenly increased by an octave.

"Don't even think about it, never think about it! Steven, you are definitely the most greedy bastard in the world!"

Ye Tian didn't bother to pay attention to his hysteria, he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Think slowly, Brandon, you will agree, I'm pretty sure! Okay, let's talk about the four treasures of the Harvard University Museum!"

With that, he looked at Robert.

The rest of the scene was the same as before. When he said his goal, Robert exploded unsurprisingly and roared directly!

The atmosphere in the conference room became more and more tense, like a gunpowder keg, just a little!

The three old men on the opposite side were like three aggressive bulls, each with round eyes, staring at Ye Tian, ​​everyone was full of anger, wishing to rush to tear him up and feed the dog.

Joey and Colton, as well as the two insurance company representatives, were not much better. They all stared at Ye Tian with fire-breathing eyes, their teeth clenched loudly!

In this tense atmosphere, half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and both sides clung to their own opinions and no one made half concessions, let alone persuade each other!

The things that need to be done are done, it's time to withdraw! It's hard to get any results if he continue to stay!

Ye Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, then stood up and said:

"Gentlemen, please consider my terms carefully and hope to give an answer as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the greater the risk of leaks and the more dangerous the theft of top antique artworks.

It is useless to say more now. We should also leave. We will return to New York later. If you think about it, please come to New York to find me and we are waiting for your visit at any time.

In addition, I still have to take the trouble to remind you that you must pay attention to confidentiality. If the secrets are leaked, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable and it will be too late to regret it!

If you agree to the confidentiality agreement in front of you, you can sign it at any time. If you don't agree, then it's best not to take out of this conference room and just crush the matter!

Joey, Colton, I know that you will definitely send someone to investigate secretly. I don't have the right to interfere, but please don't make a big fuss, lest you get caught out by those bastards.

Well, that's all there is to say. I am in New York waiting for the good news from you. I hope that I will not wait for a long time. There is an old saying in China, "There are unexpected events in the sky"."

After speaking, he began to pack his things and was about to leave.

On today's trip to the FBI's Boston branch, he didn't expect to reach any agreement. He just came to inform the guys on the opposite side! So that they have a mental preparation!

At the same time, explain his own purpose and give the other party sufficient time to consider.

This period of time must not be too short and the decision is also difficult to make. It is definitely not an overnight task!

Seeing Ye Tian packing up their things and preparing to leave, the guys on the opposite side were dumbfounded.

"Steven, you just leave Boston and don't discuss it! What about the stolen antique art? Will it continue to be in the hands of the art thieves? Too dangerous, right?"

Isaac said eagerly, wishing to rush over to hug Ye Tian's arm and force him to stay here.

The other guys are the same, they are all a little anxious!

What's the matter with him? Just publish a video and hang our appetites in midair and then this bastard will withdraw! But we haven't even touched the hair of the stolen antique art!

Do you do things like this? It's not authentic!

"Yes, I am indeed going back to New York. It has been several days since I left the Big Apple City. Don't tell me, I really miss the Big Apple City! Of course, Boston is also a beautiful city.

Gentlemen, it is a pleasure and an honor to meet you. I wish you a good day and don't let it go. I'm pretty sure, we will see you again in New York!"

Ye Tian said with a smile and everyone on the opposite side nodded.

Afterwards, he picked up the computer bag and walked to the door of the conference room. David and the others followed him!

At this point, Isaac and the others had nothing to do. They had to watch Ye Tian and the others under the leadership of Colton walk out of the meeting room and disappear from their eyes!

In a blink of an eye, Ye Tian and the others had arrived at the elevator entrance.

At this moment, there was a sudden violent curse in the direction of the conference room.

"Fuck! I hate this bastard!"
