Chapter 3076: Divide Treasures on the Spot
In Nda Cion Church, Ye Tian is introducing the bronze sculpture of the Virgin Mary in front of you.
"In the history of Western sculpture art, Giambologna is an important sculpture representative from Michelangelo to Bernini, and the most important sculptor of Mannerism in the late Renaissance.
Giambologna’s sculptures are mainly Mannerist marble sculptures, and many of them are large-scale sculptures. Small bronze sculptures are very rare, and each piece is very precious.
Everyone, please look at the base of this bronze sculpture of the Virgin Mary, engraved with the name of Boulogne. This name is the former name of Giambologna, and it has only appeared on two sculptures. "
It can be inferred from this that this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary is a work of art brought by Alfonso Mendes from Rome. When he fled from Ethiopia, he failed to take this statue.
Around 1632, the value of this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary is naturally not as good as the gold and ruby ​​crown of Emperor Susnillos, but hundreds of years have passed, it is another matter! ..."
At the same time as the introduction, Ye Tian also showed everyone the characteristics of this bronze statue.
From the artistic style to the sculptor's personal signature, and the hidden historical stories behind it, as well as the changes in value, he explained one by one.
With his introduction, everyone has a deeper understanding of this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary.
As for the authenticity of this bronze statue, there is no doubt at all.
It took about five or six minutes before Ye Tian was able to finish introducing the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary.
Later, he gave an estimate of this bronze statue.
"Because Giambologna's bronze sculptures are very rare, each piece is extremely valuable, and this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary is no exception. I value it at 10 million U.S. dollars,..."
Before the voice was over, the scene was already boiling.
The Ethiopians at the scene all exclaimed.
"My God! Such a rusty bronze statue is worth 10 million U.S. dollars. It's incredible!"
"I heard that right? The value of this bronze statue is higher than that of the gold and ruby ​​crown. It's crazy!"
These Ethiopians are basically laymen in the collection of antique art, and they don't know much about Western art.
They don't know much about the current market conditions of western antique art, which is why they have this kind of performance.
In their opinion, such a rusty bronze statue is no more valuable than the dazzling gold and ruby ​​crown!
The valuation given by Ye Tian really shocked them.
Unlike them, these people in the tripartite joint exploration team all know what is more valuable!
Amidst an exclamation, the Bishop of Kent and an archaeologist from Harvard University found Ye Tian at the same time.
Their purpose is the same, they are all coming for this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary.
"Steven, I know you don't collect antique artifacts and artworks that are closely related to religion. This bronze statue of the Virgin Mary by Mannerist Giambologna is obviously a religious object.
And this is another Catholic religious item. Ethiopians will not collect it. It may end up in your hands. If possible, the Vatican wants to buy this bronze statue! "
The Bishop of Kent stated his purpose.
Before the words were over, the archaeologist from Harvard University continued to say:
"Steven, we are following the tripartite joint exploratory team this time, and at the same time we also shoulder another task, which is to collect collections for the Harvard University Museum.
This bronze sculpture of the Mannerist master Giambologna is too rare, and it is also a top-level artwork with strong religious colors. You will not personally collect it.
In this case, I think is it possible? If your company distributes this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary, can it be transferred to Harvard University? "
Hearing what they said, the Ethiopians at the scene were stunned.
Can you do this? This treasure hasn't been cleaned up yet, and there is no allocation. The people who want to buy it have already come to the door, and this business is so good!
Thinking of this, their eyes when they looked at the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary suddenly became even hotter, even full of greed.
Even if this is a Catholic religious article, it is not accepted by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
At this moment, Ye Tian smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, this hidden treasure is still being cleaned up. It's a bit too early to say these things. After the treasure is cleared and the distribution is completed, it's not too late for us to talk about these things again!"
"Ok, Steven, we can wait"
The Bishop of Kent nodded and said, and the archaeologist from Harvard University also nodded.
Next, Ye Tian moved the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary to the side and asked his staff to take pictures, register and make a book, and then be taken care of by armed security personnel.
Later, he took the third portable safe that was hung on the ground, opened it, and took out a damaged wooden box from it.
What's in this wooden box are also some religious items.
There are gold products, silver products and so on.
Without exception, they are all antique relics with a certain value.
As before, Ye Tian conducted appraisal and evaluation one by one, and then handed over to his staff to shoot videos, register and create records. Everything was carried out in accordance with the process, in an orderly manner.
The exploration operation continues.
The wooden boxes hidden in that underground secret room, as well as the gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics contained in those wooden boxes, were transported to the ground one by one.
Every thing that is transported to the ground will be appraised and evaluated by Ye Tian.
After a lapse of four or five hundred years, they finally regained a new life, blooming with the light they deserved.
As time goes by, more and more wooden boxes are piled up in the church of Nda Cion.
The number of gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics placed on the ground because of the damaged wooden boxes is also very staggering.
Looking at these treasures in front of them, everyone on the scene was very excited and excited.
Especially those Ethiopians, whose eyes are red, look a little scary.
During this period, other exploration teams also discovered some metal objects one after another, some hidden underground, and some hidden in the walls.
After receiving the notification, Ye Tian asked them to mark those places one by one, and then check the situation in those places after exploring the treasure.
The reason for this, of course, is for safety reasons.
The performance of these Ethiopians at the scene, especially the performance of the representatives of the People's Front and the deputy mayor of Aksum, made Ye Tian dare not leave here casually.
Fortunately, there were no accidents and everything went smoothly.
Soon, the time has come to around twelve o'clock in the morning.
As the last portable safe was hung on the ground, the treasure hidden deep in the underground of the Nda Cion Church was finally cleared.
All the wooden boxes in this treasure, as well as the gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics scattered on the ground, were transferred to the ground.
Next, Ye Tian checked the situation in the secret room through the video, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Nick, you can find a few places, wipe the moss on the ground and walls, let me see the condition of the ground and walls, and see if there are texts and murals on them!"
"Okay, Steven"
Nick responded, and acted immediately.
They took out the towels and wiped them several times in different places on the floor and walls.
As expected, on the floor and walls of this basement, there were no words or murals, and there were only icy and hard granite.
Ye Tian looked at the video screen, and then said:
"Well, Nick, you can come up. The function of this underground secret room is very simple, it is a secret underground treasure room, there is no time for any decoration and arrangement"
After receiving the instructions, Nick and the others immediately packed up their exploration tools and returned to the Nda Cion Church on the ground.
Next, Ye Tian continued to identify and evaluate the gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics that emerged from the underground secret room.
In the process, there have been some surprising discoveries one after another.
Among them are antique cultural relics and artworks from Europe, as well as some Ethiopian antique cultural relics and artworks, such as some items from the Solomon Dynasty.
A lot of rough gemstones were also found in a damaged wooden box.
Including Ethiopian sapphires, emeralds, and colorful opals and so on.
Approaching one o'clock noon, Ye Tian completed the identification and evaluation of this treasure.
After the employees registered the last batch of rough gemstones and put them in a portable safe, this unknown treasure was finally cleared.
Next, it's time to carve up this treasure.
Ye Tian looked at the Ethiopians present, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, according to the agreement reached in advance, next, we should allocate this treasure. I will divide this treasure into two parts of equal value, and we will take half of each.
You can choose first, and the other half belongs to our company. If you are not satisfied with the result of the distribution, we can exchange on the spot to ensure the fairness and justice of the distribution."
"Understood, Mr. Steven, we approve this distribution method!"
The representative of the People's Front nodded and said, and the deputy mayor of Aksum nodded.
The head of Nda Cion Church groaned a little and nodded.
The three parties they represent all enjoy part of the rights and interests of this treasure.
As long as the three parties do not raise objections, this treasure distribution plan can be implemented smoothly.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:
"After the allocation, if you think that the appraisal results and valuations given by me are not accurate enough, you can find relevant persons to re-appraise and appraise, that is to say, you have the right to regret!
In order to avoid endless wrangling, each item assigned to your hands corresponds to an opportunity for remorse. We can't waggle back and forth on an item and waste time.
Before officially assigning this treasure, do you need to contact relevant people? We can provide detailed information about this treasure, including video information, as a reference for decision-making!
If someone from the parties you represent is not at ease, worrying about the black-box operations and tricks in the treasure distribution process, we can live broadcast the distribution process through a network video conference! "
"Mr. Steven, before you preside over the distribution of treasures, we do need to report on the situation here, but there should be no problem. It is just a routine procedure!"
The deputy mayor of Axum nodded and said.
"Yes, I also want to report to my boss"
The representative of the People's Front said successively.
"Of course no problem, gentlemen, if we need our cooperation, you can speak at any time!"
Ye Tian nodded and said, and made a please gesture.
Afterwards, the deputy mayor of Aksum and the representative of the People's Front went aside and called.
Neither need to ask the result!
Neither the Tigray State Government nor the Axum City Government and the Tiren Front wanted to tear their skins at this time.
The treasure distribution plan given by Ye Tian was fair and impeccable, and they had no reason to oppose it.
More importantly, they are in urgent need of large sums of money to prepare for the upcoming war. Where can they have the mood and time to wrestle!
After the deputy mayor of Axum and the representative of the Tiren Front returned after the call, the distribution of the treasures began immediately.
Under the command of Ye Tian, ​​several brave men fearlessly explored the company's employees immediately.
They quickly divided all the gold and silver treasures from this treasure, as well as antique cultural relics and works of art, into two halves!
As Ye Tian said before, the two separate treasures are of equal value.
In the process of dividing the treasure, several Ethiopians held the registration form, their eyes widened, and supervised the scene.
As a result, they found no problems, and the entire segmentation process was highly transparent and fair.
After completing the division of this treasure, Ye Tian pointed to the half of the treasure placed on the left and right sides, and said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, you can choose, I believe this is a very pleasant choice!"
The words fell, but the Ethiopians were stunned.
How to choose?
...
Although it is a bit difficult to choose, after some weighing, the Ethiopians still made a choice.
They chose half of the treasures, and the other half naturally belonged to the Brave Fearless Exploration Company.
Among the half of the treasures chosen by the Ethiopians are the golden ruby ​​crown of Emperor Susnillos and the Catholic-style golden cross.
The bronze statue of the Virgin Mary created by the master of Mannerist Giambologna fell into the hands of Ye Tian.
This result was actually as early as Ye Tian expected.
When dividing this treasure, he focused on it.
The half of the treasures selected by Ethiopians are mainly gold and silver treasures that are easy to realize, and there are relatively few antiques, cultural relics and artworks.
The half of the treasure also looked more dazzling and eye-catching.
The Tigray State and the Tiren Front urgently need a large amount of funds to purchase a large amount of materials and equipment, pay for the army, and prepare for the upcoming war.
Under normal circumstances, they will choose gold and silver treasures that are very easy to realize.
The fact is also true!
The other half of the treasures that fell into the hands of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company are mainly antique cultural relics and artworks that are relatively difficult to realize, as well as some gold and silver treasures.
Most of the rough gems found at the end also fell into the hands of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company.
This distribution result is exactly what Ye Tian wanted.
Although he also played a trick, the result of the distribution was fair, and the value of the treasures obtained by both parties was exactly the same.
After completing the distribution of the treasure ~EbookFREE.me~, after confirming that the Ethiopians no longer repented, Ye Tian signed relevant documents with the deputy mayor of Aksum and others on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Joshua and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed up immediately.
Some of them found Ethiopians, while others found Ye Tian.
"Steven, can you talk about trading the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary now? I just sent the photo of that statue to the curator of the Harvard University Museum.
As I expected, the Harvard University Museum wanted to buy that top art piece. The curator of the museum asked me to talk to you first, and he would call you back later! "
Said the archaeologist from Harvard University.
In addition to the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary, the Harvard University Museum also focused on several other antique relics and works of art, and wanted to invest in the acquisition.
Naturally, Ye Tian would not refuse such a thing!
