Chapter 635: $0 million Christmas gift


At noon the next day, the apron on the roof of the logistics base at the east end of 78th Street.
Airbus H155 roared from the sky in the north and landed steadily on the roof apron.
After a gust of wind swept through, the H155's propeller speed began to rapidly decrease, and the deafening engine roar gradually became smaller.
When the helicopter engine went out and the propeller completely stopped rotating, Ye Tian pushed open the last iron door leading to the roof, took Betty up the roof, and walked towards the Airbus H155 on the apron.
at the same time.
The cockpit door of the Airbus H155 was also pushed open, and Lao Zhangzhan's family walked out of it, carrying two boxes!
Because of the heavy snowfall yesterday and Christmas time, the road conditions around New York are generally very poor, even the highway is not much better!
Considering this situation, Ye Tian finally decided to let George drive the H155 to Boston to pick up the old man's family, instead of letting them drive to New York, which is likely to be stuck in the middle of the road.
Therefore, they can arrive in New York at this time, otherwise it is uncertain when!
Within a few steps, the two sides met on the top of the building!
"Good noon, Matthew and Evelyn, Merry Christmas, welcome to New York, I hope you enjoy this trip to New York and have a happy Christmas!"
Ye Tian went up to say hello, and at the same time took the suitcase in Matthew's hand.
Then he greeted Logan behind.
"Good noon, Steven, and I wish you a Merry Christmas, this helicopter is really great, it is almost like a luxury business class, very comfortable! It is 10,000 times better than driving a car!"
Matthew greeted him first, and then said in admiration, obviously very satisfied with the air trip.
Evelyn and Logan were the same, both admiring the helicopter behind them.
Of course it is worthy of admiration. This is a top business helicopter worth 10 million US dollars. How can it be compared to your Buick Boulevard!
After chatting for a few words, Ye Tian led everyone to the anti-theft iron gate in front, ready to go downstairs and go home.
After leaving the logistics base, they did not go home immediately, but went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
When they returned to their apartment on 110th Street after lunch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
After resting at home for about half an hour, Logan ran out to go shopping.
For this kid, the streets of New York during Christmas are obviously more attractive than at home!
The others didn't go there, and they all stayed at home. Betty and Evelyn started preparing the Christmas dinner for the evening, and they were very busy!
Of course, Evelyn is the chief chef, and Betty is in charge!
Ye Tian took Matthew to visit his new collection and explained the origin and value of these antique artworks to the old man.
Now Matthew has become a collector enthusiast, and he is full of great interest in all antique art!
Time flies quickly, and night has fallen in a blink of an eye.
Christmas Eve is here.
The colorful lights on the Christmas tree in front of the fireplace are all lit up, colorful and very beautiful; beautiful Christmas ornaments can be seen everywhere inside and outside the apartment, full of a strong Christmas atmosphere.
Near seven o'clock, a sumptuous Christmas dinner was on the table.
Like Thanksgiving, roast turkey is the main course, as well as smoked ham, Christmas salmon, Christmas pudding, vegetable salad, creamy polenta, etc. The dishes are very rich and fragrant!
Of course, there are essential top French red wines that add a bit of flavor to this beautiful evening.
At a quarter to seven, Logan returned to the apartment.
Everyone has arrived, and the Christmas dinner has officially begun, and everyone is sitting around the dining table.
As usual before the meal is prayer.
The male host, Ye Tian, ​​was supposed to say the prayers, but he was not a Christian, so he could only be led by Matthew.
After praying, everyone immediately began to enjoy food and wine, and spent this beautiful day in laughter and laughter.
After the dinner was over and everything was cleaned up, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Everyone went back to the living room and chatted while watching live broadcasts on NBC TV.
The live broadcast at this time is exactly the Christmas celebration held in Rockefeller Center Plaza, which is very exciting!
At 10:30, the live TV broadcast ended, and it was time to exchange gifts.
Since there are no children in this family for the time being, there is no need to put gifts into socks, write names, and then wait until Christmas morning before opening! All gifts can be given out in person and taken apart!
First, it was Ye Tian who was the owner of the gift.
He got up and walked to the Christmas tree, picked up two beautifully packaged boxes from the floor, walked over and put them in front of Matthew and Evelyn respectively.
"Matthew, this is a small sculpture. The shape is a man standing and thinking. Of course, this is not Rodin's thinker, but the work of modern sculptor Anthony Gormley.
Anthony Gomurray is one of the most famous sculptors today. He is particularly good at human sculptures. Most of his works have the same proportions as real human bodies. Small sculptures are very rare and very valuable for collection.
I found this sculpture by chance at the Chelsea Antique Market in Manhattan. It felt good and I bought it. Taking advantage of this opportunity today, I will give it to you as a Christmas gift. I hope you like it! "
Hearing these words, Matthew's face immediately showed a surprise.
"Anthony Gormley, is that famous British sculptor? He held a solo exhibition in Boston two years ago, which caused a sensation. Although I didn't go to see it, I heard someone talk about it!
Does his sculpture work seem to be of great value? It is said that each piece is worth more than one million dollars. Is this Christmas gift too expensive? I cannot accept this gift! You should take it back! "
As he said, he pushed back the box containing the gift, his actions were quite determined, but his eyes were full of dismay.
This is the work of a top contemporary artist! Can't bear to change? Even if you say this rejection, you need a lot of determination!
Sculptures over one million dollars! And it's a Christmas present for Matthew!
Both Evelyn and Logan were stunned by the price of this sculpture~EbookFREE.me~ and they were also shocked by Ye Tian's generous work, which is too generous!
Betty is very calm, she has been used to this kind of thing, she has long since been surprised!
What is this! What happened at the Plaza Hotel last night was more shocking than this!
"Yes, that's him. He is the only famous sculptor named Anthony Gomurray. His sculptures are really valuable and are very popular in the art collection market!
But that was for others. For me, it only cost 300 US dollars to buy this sculpture! It's not worth mentioning, so just accept it and don't think too much!
There is no signature of Anthony Gomullet on this sculpture. If you are not someone who is very researched or very familiar with him, you should not recognize this sculpture and you can safely store it at home! "
When Ye Tian just finished speaking, Betty immediately echoed:
"Dad, Steven is right. You treat this as a $300 Christmas gift. Don't think about it. Take it."
Matthew wasn't too hypocritical, he pondered a little, then nodded and accepted this valuable Christmas gift.
Afterwards, he immediately began to disassemble the outer packaging of this gift, and said with excitement:
"Let me admire the work of this modern master sculptor! But to be honest, let me treat a million-dollar sculpture as an ordinary item of 300 dollars, I am afraid I can't do it!"
"Hahaha"
Several people at the scene laughed.
Both Evelyn and Logan nodded in sympathy. For most people, it was impossible to ignore such a huge price gap!
Ye Tian and Betty were also laughing softly, both very relaxed.
