In a luxurious suite at the Plaza Hotel, Ye Tian and the others met Santiago Calatrava, who is known as the top ten architects in the world today.
This is a Hispanic man with a fairer complexion. He is about sixty years old. He wears a pair of glasses. He is thin and looks somewhat elegant.
After meeting this world-famous architectural design master, Ye Tian immediately stepped forward to shake hands with him and greeted him warmly.
“Good morning, Mr. Santiago, I am Steven, we have met on video before, welcome to New York, nice to see you here, I have seen you for a long time”
“Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am also very happy to meet you. I have heard your name countless times during this period, and now I finally meet you in person”
Calatrava said politely, looking at Ye Tian with eyes full of curiosity and a bit of envy.
Next, Ye Tian introduced Jason, David, and Logan, who followed him.
When it was his turn to introduce Logan, before he could open his mouth, the excited boy took over the conversation and said incoherently:
“Mr. Santiago, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Logan, from MIT, and I’m currently a graduate student. I’m your admirer and I really like the classic buildings you designed and built.
Steven is my sister’s husband. He wants to build his own private museum. Because I majored in architecture, he called me to New York, hoping that I could take this opportunity to practice and exercise.”
For Calatrava, he has seen too many of this kind of admirers, and there are also many more fanatical admirers than this, and he has long been accustomed to it.
He dealt with Logan politely and asked several of Logan’s teachers at MIT, who were all his friends.
In his heart, he didn’t take this fledgling guy too seriously, thinking that it was just Ye Tian’s nepotism and that he might not have real talent or learning.
After getting to know David and Logan, Calatrava also introduced his two assistants, secretary and others, and then invited Ye Tian and others into the living room.
After everyone entered the living room and sat down on the sofa, they started chatting casually.
Calatrava did not immediately get to the point and ask Ye Tian about the design and construction of a private museum. Instead, he asked about the process of exploring the Knights Templar’s treasures and the Holy Grail.
As a Westerner and an older man, Calatrava, like many Westerners, is very concerned about the return of the Holy Grail to the world.
In addition, he is a man, so he is naturally very interested in adventure and exploring treasures.
And the top treasure hunter who discovered the famous Knights Templar treasure and the Holy Grail, Ye Tian, was right in front of him. How could he let go of this opportunity?
Ye Tian did not refuse. He briefly introduced his process of exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar and discovering the Holy Grail and other religious relics, inevitably adding some Spring and Autumn style.
Following his introduction, Calatrava, several of his assistants, and the accompanying staff could not help but listen in fascination and were deeply attracted.
It wasn’t until seven or eight minutes later that Ye Tianfang stopped talking, and the others immediately woke up.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of emotion on the scene, and everyone’s voice was full of envy.
After these people’s emotions stabilized a little, everyone got to the point of today’s meeting.
“Stephen, tell me about your construction of a private museum. I have read the information you sent me carefully and I am also very interested in this design business, but I still want to hear your personal experience. Elaborate and envision! ”
Calatrava said with a smile, still a bit curious in his eyes.
When it comes to designing and building a museum, this top architectural design master immediately stepped into the role and looked very professional.
The same goes for his staff, who have entered work mode one after another.
“Okay, Santiago”
Ye Tian nodded in response, and then began to introduce his construction of a private museum.
“As you know, I am a professional treasure hunter, and my Intrepid Exploration Company is a treasure hunting company. It is unceremonious to say that both myself and my company are the best in the industry.
In addition, my eyesight is not bad, and my luck has always been good. We have discovered many famous treasures one after another, such as the Knights Templar treasure this time, and we have also gained a lot in other aspects.”
Hearing this, Calatrava and his assistants sitting opposite could not help but secretly complain.
Can you be called lucky? It’s just a lot of luck, isn’t it?
Who doesn’t know? God will always stand with you. All the good things will fall on your head, but other people can’t even get a hair out of it. They can only stand on the side and envy you. It’s so unfair. !
Of course, this is just the psychological activity of Calatrava and others, and they have not been expressed verbally.
Ye Tian seemed not to notice the subtle changes in their expressions, and continued to talk with joy:
“With the discovery of treasures one by one, the harvest from other channels, and the transactions with many famous museums around the world, I have accumulated more and more top-notch antiques and artworks.
A small part of these top-quality antique artworks have been traded by me through various methods. During the current spring auction season in New York, many top-tier antique artworks have been sold out of my hands!
However, most of the top antique artworks are still in my hands, and the ones left in my hands are basically the best. It is no exaggeration to say that almost every piece of these antique artworks is priceless. .
With so many top-notch antiques and artworks in my hands, how to preserve them has become a big problem. If I always store them in some vaults that never see the light of day, it will be suspected of wasting natural resources.
I am not only a professional treasure hunter, but also a top antique art appraisal expert. I don’t want to see these top antique art being stored in a vault for a long time and growing old in the dark.
They should be displayed in front of the public, blooming with the most brilliant cultural and artistic light, and maximizing their due value. In view of this, I came up with the idea of building a private museum.
When my private museum is completed, these top-notch antiques and artworks in my hands will be displayed in the museum for people to appreciate and taste, allowing people to experience history and the great charm of art up close.
The number of top antique artworks displayed in my private museum may not be as large as that of top museums such as the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum, but I can guarantee that the quality is definitely no worse than any of them! ”
“Wow! Steven, the quality of the collection in your private museum is actually comparable to that of the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This is an exaggeration!”
Calatrava immediately exclaimed, somewhat frightened by Ye Tian’s words.
At the same time, he became more interested in this design business, and his eyes shone.
Ye Tian smiled softly and said confidently:
“Santiago, when my private museum is officially opened, you will know whether what I say is true. It can be said that in some aspects, the Louvre and the British Museum are far inferior to my private museum.
Let’s go back to the matter of building a private museum. After I came up with this idea, I was thinking about building a private museum there. In my mind, there were only two locations to choose from, and that was New York and Beijing.
New York already has the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA, and various museums are gathered together, all of which are of high quality. Although Beijing also has many top museums, it is completely blank in the display of Western antiques and art.
After careful consideration, I chose Beijing, and then started a series of related work. I took a piece of land in a prime location in the center of Beijing, next to the Forbidden City, and planned to use it to build my private museum.
After we submitted our plan to build a private museum, the Beijing municipal authorities were very supportive and gave us a lot of convenience. Now we have obtained the land development permit and completed other procedures.
The first task now is to design. Once the design plan is approved by me, it can be constructed immediately. I plan to build a private museum on that land with an exhibition area of no less than 100,000 square meters! ”
“Oh my god! Steven, did I hear you correctly? You are planning to build the world’s top comprehensive museum! Which private museum can cover an area of 100,000 square meters? It is simply unheard of!”
Calatrava jumped up from the sofa, once again frightened by Ye Tian’s huge ambition, even more than before.
“Yes! I want to build the world’s top comprehensive museum, and it is unique!”
Ye Tian nodded decisively, his words and expression full of confidence.
