After appreciating "Death of Mala", Ye Tian was ready to take Betty onward to admire another famous painting not far away.
At this moment, a slightly familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Mr. Steven, please stay. I have something to ask you."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned to look to his right rear.
The one who called him aloud was an old friend he knew, the curator of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium, Mr. Maeterlinck, who had seen him after the Boston incident and had made a deal.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Maeterlinck, I said this sound sounds a bit familiar. I didn't expect it to be you. What a coincidence!"
Ye Tian smiled and said hello to this old friend, and signaled to Taylor and the others that they could let them come over, this one was not threatening.
Tyler nodded immediately, and immediately stepped aside.
Within a few steps, Mettlenck walked closer and shook hands with Ye Tian.
"Good afternoon, Steven, it's nice to meet you. I didn't expect that you guy would come to Brussels and come to our Royal Museum of Fine Arts. Very welcome!
Just now I was on the Grand Place in Brussels. I received a call from my subordinates and rushed back. Fortunately, you didn’t leave, so we could meet."
"Your museum is really great. The collections here are even better. It makes people linger. To be honest, the reason why I came to Brussels was for your museum and for "Death of Mara"!"
Ye Tian said with a light smile, and sent a bunch of compliments for no money.
"Thank you for your compliment, Steven. We are the most important art museum in Belgium. We have a large collection of paintings and sculptures, including some of the top art works.
"Death of Mara" is the treasure of our town hall. It is definitely worthy of careful appreciation. In addition, there is the ‘Rubens Room’ that we are proud of, which will make everyone who loves art linger.
Of course, if you can transfer the Rubens representative painting in your hand to us, then the ‘Rubens Room’ of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts will become even more glamorous! "
Metelink said complacently, and also showed his covetous heart.
Mettlenck had long coveted the Rubens painting in Ye Tian's hands, and wanted to include it in his bag to add a top-level art of the town's treasure to his museum.
It's a pity that they have a limited budget for buying top-quality artworks, and they can't offer enough exchange terms to impress Ye Tian, so they can only sigh and look greedy!
When his voice fell, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said:
"Hahaha, Mr. Mettlenck, you know, I am a businessman, and that outstanding painting by the master Rubens, "Portrait of the Duke of Medici", the door to the transaction is always open.
If your museum can accept the price I offered, or meet my exchange conditions, then I am very happy to transfer that top art piece to you and let it enter your ‘Rubens Room’
If you can't do it, then I'm very sorry! Just a reminder, that top artwork will be unveiled in this year's New York autumn auction. Whether you can win that top artwork depends on your strength! "
"That's a top-level artwork worth tens of millions of dollars. How can our museum have that strength? You guy is really greedy to the extreme. You won't leave us a chance!"
Metlink said with emotion, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
After a few small chats, this one changed the subject again.
"You tell me, Steven, from this morning until just now, I have been in the Swan restaurant on the Grand Place in Brussels, inspecting the ancient building with several other experts and scholars.
I heard from Pierre, the manager of the Swan Restaurant, that you guy wanted to buy that old building in the Renaissance style, and you were very generous. Is this true or not? "
After speaking, Metelink stared at Ye Tian's face, waiting for him to give an answer, his eyes were extremely hot and full of expectation.
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then smiled and said:
"That's true. I really want to buy the building of the Swan Restaurant. One is because I like the old building in the Renaissance style, and the other is because of the special historical significance of the building!"
"It's actually true. You really want to buy that building! Don't say that you like that old building, or for other reasons, I won't believe it!
Your vision is extremely sharp, your luck is extremely good, and you are a professional treasure hunter who is profitless and early. I'm sure that your goal is definitely not that building.
Can you reveal the real reason? Did you guy find any treasures or valuable antique works of art? That's why you want to take down the building and have a pot end! "
Metelink was very accurate, but would Ye Tian tell him why? Obviously impossible, unless the brain is sick!
"You think too much, Maeterlinck, there are so many treasures in the world, and they all hit me. God is too kind to me. I just like that old building!"
"I still don't believe it. You guy will definitely not aimlessly. If I change to any other person, I might believe this reason. Only you guy can't.
You are a magical guy. God seems to be a family with you. He always takes care of you. Any magical thing that happens to you is normal in my opinion! "
"Since you think so, then I can't help it. No matter how much you explain, you won't believe it!"
Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression, and there was a bit of pride in his eyes.
Metelink was about to answer the question and say something. Suddenly, Ye Tian's mobile phone in his pocket rang. It was from Brother Zhang, who he met yesterday.
After taking a look at the caller ID, Ye Tian immediately said sorry to Mettlenck, then slid the screen lock of the phone and started answering the call.
Immediately afterwards, a nervous voice from Brother Zhang came from the phone.
"Ye Tian, can you do me another favor? Please, we will be in the antique shop of the antique liar, and we are negotiating with the antique liar.
In addition to my wife and I, the professional lawyer you introduced to us, the cultural counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Belgium and two other staff members.
I followed your advice and invited reporters from major Chinese media in Belgium, as well as some local news media in Brussels, and two Belgian police officers.
The momentum has been built, and I also got the expedited carbon 14 test report. Your identification is correct. It is a high imitation blue and white plum bottle that was burned three years ago. It is worthless!
Just now after we came to this antique shop, we directly explained our intentions and showed the carbon 14 test results, asking for a refund, otherwise we would take the antique liar to court.
Seeing the carbon 14 test report and our momentum, the grandson was obviously embarrassed, but he was still dead, and he had to have an appraisal conclusion from an antique art appraisal expert.
The grandson claimed that he would only be willing to refund if he saw the authoritative expert’s appraisal conclusion. The lawyer wanted me to directly sue ~EbookFREE.me~ to recover the loss through legal procedures and ask for certain spiritual compensation.
But after all, this is a foreign country, not a country. I have no time to stay here and wrestle with an antique liar. What I want now is to recover the loss as soon as possible, and then return to China immediately.
As for the compensation for mental damage, let's forget it. This is a lesson, and it can also make me remember. For the authoritative expert's appraisal conclusion, I can only ask you, brother! "
Without any hesitation, Ye Tian immediately said firmly:
"No problem, Brother Zhang, we are all Chinese. We should help each other when we go out. I can't bear to watch my compatriots be ruined by a dead foreigner!
Tell me about the specific address of the antique shop, I will be able to get there soon, not only me, this time I can also bring a big figure in the field of antique art collection in Belgium! "
With that said, Ye Tian glanced at Mettlenck innocently, and started the old friend's idea.
This is Brussels. Is there a more suitable antique art appraisal expert than this one? That's him!
