Ye Tian looked at the reporter who asked the question, nodded slightly to him, then scanned the audience again, and then said with a smile:
“Obviously, this is an issue that everyone is very concerned about. If you want to know how I deal with those top-notch antiques, then I will tell you about it to avoid rumors flying around.
Let’s talk about the two original editions of the Napoleonic Code first. There is no doubt that among the entire Napoleonic treasures, those two codes are the most valuable and can definitely be regarded as priceless national treasures.
The rumors are indeed correct. I reached an agreement with Mr. Bernard, the richest man in France, and sold one of the original editions of the “Code Napoleon” to Mr. Bernard for a sky-high price of 800 million euros.
Here, I can also reveal some information to you. It won’t be long before people can see the original version of the Napoleonic Code in the National Library of France and the Louvre.
The original version of the “Code Napoleon” will be on display in the National Library of France and the Louvre in rotation. Speaking of which, I must praise Mr. Bernard, he is really a generous gentleman! “
Although they had heard the news from various channels, people were still shocked when they heard Ye Tian say it in person!
“Oh my God! This is actually true. The original version of the Napoleonic Code was bought for a sky-high price of 800 million euros. It’s incredible!”
“France! Eight hundred million euros, did I hear it correctly? Is this currency unit real? Shouldn’t it be the Italian lira? That’s only reasonable!”
After a commotion, a reporter immediately asked:
“So what about the other original version of the Napoleonic Code? Steven, did you sell it or take it back to New York? Can you tell us about it?”
Ye Tian smiled softly and then continued:
“I do not plan to collect the original version of the Napoleonic Code. I also sold the other one for the same price of 800 million euros, the same as the one in Bernard’s hands.
However, due to some special reasons, I cannot disclose the identity of the buyer for the time being. I believe that it will not take long for this secret to be made public, and everyone will naturally know it by then! “
“Another 800 million euros! This guy Steven is really making a lot of money. He made 1.6 billion euros from just two original editions of “Code Napoleon”!”
“Mysterious buyer? Who could it be? It must be a super rich man from a certain country in Europe and the United States, or even the government of a certain country!”
While people were amazed and speculating on the identity of the mysterious buyer, the man in the Oval Office of the White House had a triumphant smile on his face!
But deep in his heart, there was a dull pain.
Steven, this greedy bastard, was so ruthless and showed no mercy at all. That was 800 million euros, and it makes my body hurt just to think about it!
“What about other top antiques and artworks? Steven, and those historical documents closely related to Napoleon, how do you deal with them?”
A reporter in the second row from the left asked. The accent should be that of a reporter from the UK, with a Cockney accent.
Ye Tian looked at this person, then smiled leisurely and said:
“Let’s follow the order of exploring Napoleon’s treasure, which is more organized. The first thing is of course the historical building, the two cannons and the large number of muskets in the corridor.
I sold all the above items to Bernard. He intends to transform that historic building with special significance into a private museum. I am happy to see this happen.
Let’s talk about the masterpiece of the neoclassical master Jacques David, “Napoleon Enters Vienna”. The Louvre paid for the painting for 150 million euros.
Based on the current market conditions, this price is a bit low. I suffered a big loss. If that painting is put up for auction, it is not impossible to fetch a sky-high price of 200 million euros!
After some necessary maintenance, when the neoclassical masterpiece adapts to the external environment, the Louvre will display it in the French Painting Gallery for everyone to visit and appreciate! “
At this point, Ye Tian deliberately made a painful expression, looking particularly in need of a beating.
Hearing what he said, Martinez, who was far away in the Louvre Museum in Paris, was so angry that his eyebrows stood up, smoke was coming out of his nose, and he almost flipped the desk in front of him!
The price of 150 million euros is too low. Have you suffered a big loss? It’s nonsense, it’s me who will suffer the loss, okay?
Many media reporters at the scene rolled their eyes and complained secretly!
You **** are willing to suffer? Who would believe it? I guess even ghosts don’t believe it!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
“As we all know, placed together with “Napoleon Enters Vienna” is the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, which is the crown that symbolizes the imperial power of the Habsburg family.
The crown was purchased by a descendant of the Habsburg family. At the request of the other party, I cannot disclose the name of the person or the transaction price of the Holy Roman Empire crown.
I can only tell you that the transaction price of that crown was astonishing, setting a new transaction record for similar antique artworks and truly reflecting its huge value.
Although it is not convenient to disclose the transaction price of the Crown of the Holy Roman Empire, our company will not be less responsible for the various taxes and fees. Our company has always been law-abiding! “
Hearing this, countless people in Austria, far away in Europe, started cursing at the top of their lungs, extremely angry!
“Fuck! Steven, you are a bastard. That crown belongs to our Austrian national treasure, not to the corrupt and damned Habsburg family!”
“Go to hell, Steven, you greedy bastard, you bastard, never come to Austria in the future, otherwise I will make you look good!”
While cursing crazily, all Austrians were completely desperate.
Everyone of them understands that the crown of the Holy Roman Empire has nothing to do with Austria!
At the same time, in Liechtenstein, Europe, in an ancient Baroque-style villa.
Several members of the Habsburg family were watching the live broadcast with burning eyes, gnashing their teeth with hatred, but also very helpless!
If Ye Tian were here, he would definitely recognize that two of them were members of the Habsburg family who came to Paris to negotiate with him, and were then robbed crazily by him!
Next, Ye Tian introduced the ownership of other antique artworks in Napoleon’s treasure.
For example, masterpieces by top art masters such as Rubens, Dürer, Titian, Sarto, Tintoretto, and Rembrandt!
Of course, there are also sculptures by top sculptors such as Donatello, Cellini, and Ancient Greek Polycritus.
Some of these top antique artworks have been collected by top collectors who flocked to them, and some have been bought by major museums in France, becoming treasures of top collectors and museums!
The largest buyer is Bernard, the richest man in France, followed by the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, followed by other top collectors and museums.
Without exception, each of these top-notch antique artworks that were successfully sold sold for an astonishing price, bringing huge fortunes to Ye Tian and the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company!
The rest of the top antique artworks that are not traded are divided into two parts.
The number of art works that are included in the list of art works restricted from leaving the country and those that are not included in the list of art works restricted from leaving the country are exactly half and half!
The list of artworks that are restricted from leaving the country is divided into two parts.
A small part was entrusted to major auction houses in Paris, such as Sotheby’s and so on.
In the coming period, these top antique works of art will continue to appear on the Paris auction market. Shocking the Paris art market again and again!
Most of the rest have been loaned for exhibition by the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, and are currently stored in the vaults of these two top French museums.
After some time, these top antique artworks have completely adapted to the external environment. The Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay will successively hold special exhibitions on Napoleon’s treasures to publicly display these top antique artworks!
Of course, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay cannot borrow it in vain. They have to pay a large rental fee to the Intrepid Exploration Company, and part of the ticket price for the special exhibition is also divided!
As for the safety of these top-notch antiques and artworks, Ye Tian is not worried at all, let alone worrying that the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay will steal and replace them, or refuse to admit their debt and refuse to return these treasures!
Whether it is a top-quality antique artwork entrusted to major auction houses or temporarily loaned to the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay, each piece is insured and carries a huge amount of art insurance.
If there is a problem with any of these top antique artworks, several top art insurance companies will come forward to pay for it, so Ye Tian naturally doesn’t have to worry!
What we should really worry about are the top auction houses, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay!
As for the half of the top antique artworks that were not included in the list of restricted departures, Ye Tian transported them back to New York to be processed in the New York art market. The time period can be freely controlled!
At this time, those top antique artworks are under the protection of Matisse and others and are being inspected by customs at JFK Airport!
This is just a procedure. How could the U.S. government shut out this batch of top-notch antiques and artworks?
In addition to their huge influence and cultural and artistic value, those top antiques and artworks can also bring huge taxes. Who is willing to refuse?
Listening to Ye Tian’s introduction, both the media reporters at the scene and the people on the live broadcast were completely stunned, and they all looked at Ye Tian in dumbfounded eyes!
“How much money does this guy Steven make? Isn’t it billions of dollars? Or even more, so much that people can’t even think about it. It’s so crazy!”
After being shocked, everyone secretly gave a thumbs up in admiration!
The rumors are indeed true! Steven is so thorough and impeccable in his actions that no one can take advantage of him!
