Chapter 2175: Think beautifully

　　 After appraising and introducing Gasol’s surrealist paintings and giving a valuation, Ye Tian asked Walker and the others to wrap these priceless paintings in moisture-proof oil paper and put them back in their original boxes.
　　 Walker and they all nodded in response, and then moved on.
　　 Ye Tian turned off the live microphone again, took a few steps back to the side of "Mrs. Bruges", raised the IPAD in his hand again, and continued the video conference call.
　　 He gently waved at the IPAD camera, then smiled and said loudly:
　　"Ladies and gentlemen, these long-lost paintings have been displayed and identified. Each one is a well-deserved top-level artwork, which is pleasing to the eye and a series of huge surprises.
　　 After the clean-up work is completed later, if you have time and interest, you can take a closer look at these top-level artworks that reproduce the world and experience the charm of the masters in detail.
　　 Let's continue this video conference call now, Honorable Prime Minister, the reason why you came to the Temple Palace must come for this treasure. What is your appeal? I am listening! "
　　 After being polite, Ye Tian went straight ahead and threw the question directly to the German Chancellor on the ground.
　　 Hearing what he said, the face of the German female Chancellor suddenly blushed, somewhat embarrassed.
　　 They came for this huge treasure, trying to keep the gold and silver treasures and antique artworks in the treasure in Germany. This can be said to be the heart of Sima Zhao, and everyone knows it.
　　 But this is a well-known politician after all. He has been in politics for decades. It is the most basic quality to do it himself.
　　 The irony implicit in Ye Tian's words is nothing to politicians at the level of the German Chancellor. They can completely turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to it.
　　 In an instant, the expression of the German female Chancellor returned to normal, and then smiled and said:
　　 "Don't mince words, Mr. Steven, we are indeed here for this huge treasure. The emergence of this treasure has caused a sensation in the whole world. This is Berlin, Germany. How could we ignore it.
　　 After a series of explorations by you just now, as well as many reappearance of gold and silver treasures and antique works of art, it is absolutely certain that this treasure was hidden by Hitler's SS head of the guard.
　　 The time to hide these treasures was obviously at the end of World War II and before the defeat of the cui elements. The hidden gold and silver treasures and antique works of art were all plundered by the cui elements from Germany and other countries.
　　During World War II, Germany under Nacui's rule brought serious disasters to the whole Europe and even the whole world. The Second World War was launched and the whole world was dragged into the abyss of war and suffering.
　　This is undeniable. After the end of World War II, our successive German governments have tried their best to make up for the wounds that the war brought to European countries and even the whole world, so as to make up for the huge mistakes made by the German nation."
　　 "Yes, Your Excellency Chancellor, Germany has done a lot better than some countries on this point"
　　 Ye Tian interjected, with a bit of appreciation in his tone.
　　 Everyone knows which country he refers to in his words.
　　 The German Chancellor did not take this, she went on to say:
　　 "Even if we don't want to admit it very much, none of us can deny that the Third Reich under Hitler's leadership was once the legal government of Germany. The successive German governments after World War II were also the legal government of Germany.
　　Hitle’s hidden treasures, and on German soil, our German government naturally has inheritance rights, just like our German governments after World War II tried their best to make up for their crimes.
　　As the chancellor of the German government, my request is very simple. This is a huge treasure that has already caused a sensation in the world. Since it is in Berlin, Germany, I hope that relevant German experts and scholars can participate in this exploration as soon as possible.
　　 When the exploration operation is over and the cleanup is completed, I hope that all the gold and silver treasures and antique artworks found from this treasure can remain in Germany. We will properly handle them in accordance with the relevant treaties of World War II,..."
　　 Hearing this, a sneer flashed across the corner of Ye Tian's mouth, and he immediately interrupted the other party.
　　 "You are right, Prime Minister, this huge treasure was indeed hidden by Hitler's SS head of state guards. The gold and silver treasures and antique artworks in the treasure were all plundered.
　　 Although this treasure is buried in Berlin, it is not government-owned land but the Temple Palace owned by the Berlin Catholic Church. According to German law, this treasure is clearly owned by the Berlin Catholic Church.
　　 Before the start of the exploration operation, our Brave Exploration Company and the Vatican, as well as the Catholic Church in Berlin and the Temple Palace signed an exploration agreement, which was reported to and approved by the German Ministry of Culture.
　　 In that agreement, it was written very clearly that if we find a treasure in the Temple Palace, as long as it is not the treasure of the Knights Templar, our Brave Fearless Exploration Company will enjoy half of the rights to any other treasure.
　　Germany is a modern country and adheres to the principle of sacred and inviolable private property. Germany is a country under the rule of law. I believe that the German government will not openly violate the law and infringe on the legal property of our company.
　　 As for letting German experts and scholars participate in the exploration operation, the time is not yet ripe. After we have explored this Gothic palace deep underground and confirmed the safety, we will choose an opportunity to let them participate.
　　 Through the live broadcast, everyone has also seen that we are very careful when exploring the treasure, lest we trigger possible traps and cause irreversible huge losses. No one wants to see such results.
　　Under this situation, it is not suitable for large groups of people to enter this underground palace, it will bring huge risks, and this Gothic underground palace has only one exit, there is no need to worry that we will go hand in hand."
　　 Hearing what he said, the Germans in the temporary meeting room couldn't help rolling their eyes, and complaining to themselves one by one.
　　 Steven, this bastard, really has a lot of tongues, too quibble, and he acts cautiously, almost invulnerable, and he will detain a few big hats on his opponents at every turn. It is too difficult to deal with!
　　 Knowing that there is such an amazing treasure hidden here, unless the brain is kicked by the donkey, how could the joint exploration team be allowed to explore the treasure here, and how could they sign that agreement!
　　 These Germans regretted each one of them and wanted to beat their chests, but they were helpless. If there is any regret medicine in this world, they will definitely buy some!
　　 The temporary meeting room became quiet, and the Germans sitting at the side of the meeting table were silent. Everyone's expressions were very ugly, as if they had just died!
　　 After pondering for a moment, the German female chancellor bit her back teeth and said:
　　 "Mr. Steven, we certainly will not deny the relevant agreements you signed with the Catholic Church in Berlin and the Temple Palace. As you said, Germany is a country under the rule of law and will not openly infringe on private property.
　　 This treasure is located in Berlin, the capital of Germany, and it is closely related to the history of Germany. The gold and silver treasures and antique artworks in the treasure were looted from Germany and other European countries.
　　Germany is a responsible country and shoulders the responsibility of making up for past crimes. We can never stand by and watch. You brave exploration company swept away half of this treasure of Hitler.
　　 Especially those looted antique works of art, such as Michelangelo’s "Madame Bruges" just discovered, that priceless sculpture was looted from Belgium by the Germans! "
　　 Looking at the German Chancellor who was generously speaking, Ye Tian couldn't help flashing a trace of contempt in the depths of his eyes.
　　The words are really high-sounding, but will you believe it? The main goal of you Germans is probably the uncountable amount of gold!
　　Though the cui gold was plundered from various countries in Europe and North Africa, it was melted and recast. No one can trace the source of the cui gold.
　　In other words, once the cui gold falls into the hands of the German government, it will probably be sent to the German National Bank as soon as possible, then melted and recast, and becomes Germany's reserve gold.
　　 For those countries that have been plundered by Hitler, even if they claim that lot of gold, it is estimated that it is difficult to come up with strong evidence, and the probability of success in the claim is extremely low.
　　The antique artworks in the treasures are different. Some of the antique artworks have a clear heritage, and soon someone or the country will make claims.
　　 If those antique artworks fall into the hands of the German government, given the history of World War II and in order to maintain the image of the country, it will be difficult for the German government to retain those valuable antique artworks.
　　As soon as the German Chancellor’s voice fell, Ye Tian immediately said:
　　"Be safe, Prime Minister, half of Hitler’s treasure belongs to our company. There is no doubt about this, and no one can deny it, but I don’t necessarily have to take all this half of the treasure out of Germany.
　　 After the exploration and inventory work is completed, I will value every gold and silver treasure and antique artwork in this treasure on the basis of market value, and then share the treasure with the Berlin Catholic Church.
Everyone knows that most of the things in this treasure are looted from Europe and North Africa by Hitler and his men. Everything is stained with blood~EbookFREE.me~ such as those cui gold.
　　 Among these gold and silver treasures and antique works of art, some can be traced back to their origins, knowing where they were plundered, such as the
Lady Bruges
plundered from the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium.
　　 However, a considerable number of gold and silver treasures and antique works of art cannot be traced back to the past due to too long a time or other reasons, including Monet's "Landscape of Provence".
　　 I want to obtain and plan to bring out German gold and silver treasures and antique works of art. These are the things that cannot be traced back to the past. To put it simply, I don't want to cause trouble because of this treasure.
　　 As for the cui gold, and other gold and silver treasures and antique artworks that can be traced back to their past, I don't mind leaving them in Germany. The German government can purchase them based on valuation.
　　 Especially the huge amount of cui gold, whether it is the German government or the U.S. government, I believe they are very interested. Here, the door for trading those cui gold is always open.
　　 Of course, after the transaction is completed, the tax that should be paid will not be less. Our Brave Fearless Exploration Company is a law-abiding economic entity, and I am the same. Everyone knows this! "
　　 Hearing this, everyone in the temporary meeting room was completely stupid. They stared at Ye Tian on the live broadcast screen in amazement, with eyes full of incredible.
　　 This cunning is too much to calculate!
　　 You not only wants to make a fortune, but also doesn't want to get involved in any trouble, but also to take away a large number of gold and silver treasures and top antique art. It is too beautiful to think!
