Treasure Hunt all over the World

Time passed quickly, and it was already half past six in the afternoon, and there was only half an hour left before the end of the preview.

Ye Tian brought Betty back to Sotheby's again, preparing to withdraw the dog head gold and two famous paintings from the booth and send them back to the auction warehouse to end the preview.

David also returned to the exhibition hall, he is a lawyer and needs to be present,

Although the preview is coming to an end, the exhibition hall is still full of people, very lively! There are even people who keep coming, seize the last bit of time to visit.

This is undoubtedly what Ye Tian wants to see the most, the more lively the better!

Looking at the lively scene in the exhibition hall, he already thought of the scene during the auction. It must be unprecedentedly grand and the competition must be extremely fierce!

At this moment, he seemed to see a turbulent wave of dollars coming straight towards him, which was extremely attractive!

Just thinking about it, Betty's voice suddenly came.

"Honey, the preview is about to end, why are there so many people? It's crazy!"

Ye Tian smiled triumphantly, and explained softly:

"No surprise at all! There's a reason why people are so enthusiastic, and for the vast majority, this is probably their only chance to see these treasures up close.

After the auction, these treasures will most likely fall into the hands of private collectors, and there will be very few opportunities for public exhibition in the future, so everyone is so enthusiastic."

"Yes! It's not like a piece of art in a museum, you can see it anytime"

Betty sighed with emotion, her eyes slightly regretful.

"Let's go in, the preview will be over soon"

Ye Tian said with a smile, and then took Betty into the exhibition hall.

As soon as he entered the door, Simon quickly greeted him with an extremely excited expression.

"Steven, you're finally here! Let me introduce you to someone who is our big customer at Sotheby's, super rich!"

"The super rich man? It made you so excited"

Ye Tian asked curiously as he walked towards the booth.

“Prince Hassan of the Royal Family of Qatar,

It was the royal family of Qatar who spent 250 million US dollars to take the "Card Players", and they are also very interested in these two masterpieces by Paul Cézanne."

"Wow! Petrodollars! I love it!"

Ye Tian exclaimed, and his smile suddenly became brighter.

The biggest fat sheep in the art auction history is here, can you not be happy?

While speaking, the three of them walked to the booth.

At this time, a man in his thirties and forties, wearing a white Arab robe and full of beards, was admiring "Mont Sainte-Victoire" through a bulletproof glass cover, with a very focused expression.

Next to him were four people, an Arab entourage, responsible for carrying the bag; an appraisal expert, explaining the oil painting in a low voice; the other two were bodyguards, staring at the surroundings vigilantly, as if everyone was an enemy!

"Your Highness Hassan, this is Steven, the owner of these two top oil paintings; Steven, this is Prince Hassan, from the royal family of Qatar"

After the meeting, Simon introduced the two parties.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Hassan, nice to meet you, welcome to New York!"

Ye Tian greeted with a smile, stepped forward to shake hands with each other.

"Good afternoon, Steven, nice to meet you too, New York legend, Wonder Boy! I'm half a New Yorker and live right here on Fifth Avenue.

During this period of time, I heard a lot of stories about you, each of which is very exciting and wonderful, especially your adventurous experiences, which are very attractive! "

Prince Hassan said with a smile, eyes full of curiosity.

"Hahaha, thank you for your attention, I am very honored, some of those stories are true, and some are inevitably fabricated and exaggerated, it cannot be taken seriously!"

Ye Tian said a few words politely, with a trace of complacency in his eyes.

"The best proof is right in front of you! Both the dog's head gold and these two Paul Cézanne oil paintings are top-notch treasures, and they are definitely beyond the possession of ordinary people.

I am very interested in these two oil paintings by Paul Cézanne in particular, and plan to photograph them and make them into the private collection of artworks of the royal family of Qatar.”

Prince Hassan pointed to the oil painting on the booth and said, his tone was very firm, as if he was bound to win.

now it's right! This is what my buddy was waiting for!

Ye Tian secretly cheered, and immediately laughed even more happily.

"You are welcome to participate in the competition. These two top oil paintings are definitely worthy of attention. I hope you can get what you want and get them in your bag!"

“I will succeed, and after the auction, these two paintings will belong to the royal family of Qatar!”

After chatting for a while, Ye Tian and Simon left and came to the stage, while Betty waited on the side of the stage.

Larry and security director Jack also arrived soon, and the four got together to start arranging the closing of the preview.

"Steven, after all the visitors leave the venue, you can leave after opening the booth. We will safely send the three exhibits back to the auction warehouse"

“OK! Thanks everyone, it was a perfect preview!”

Ye Tian said with a smile, with a relaxed expression.

He is very satisfied with this preview, the whole process is almost impeccable, and it has completely achieved its purpose.

While speaking, Jack's face suddenly changed, and his expression became a little dignified. Obviously, he heard some bad news through the earphones.

Don't have an accident, right? It's all at the last minute! Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat.

Simon also noticed the change in Jack's expression, and asked quickly:

"Jack, what's the matter?"

"The police received a bomb threat, saying that there was a bomb at the subway station not far ahead, and all the police stations in Lower Manhattan were dispatched, and a comprehensive investigation will be underway.

Now that we have found our office building, the brother on duty downstairs asked me, should the police be allowed to go upstairs? A total of five policemen came, fully armed! "

Jack explained in a low voice, with a slightly relaxed expression.

"Let them come up, the preview will be over in ten minutes, it should have no effect"

Simon whispered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Ye Tian.

"OK!"

Jack responded, but he didn't notify the downstairs right away. Instead, he called his friend at the police station. If someone sneaks in, he will be in big trouble!

The call was quickly connected, and the police station gave an affirmative answer, and indeed received a bomb threat.

After hanging up the phone, Jack notified the security personnel downstairs and allowed the police to go upstairs for investigation.

at the same time.

Simon took the microphone and said loudly to many visitors:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the New York police will enter the exhibition hall later. Please don't be nervous or panic. They are just routine investigations and will not threaten everyone's safety"

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar at the scene.

"NYPD? What are they doing here? Nothing will happen?"

"Who knows! It's definitely not a good thing, I think it's better to withdraw!"

After the uproar, many people left immediately, but nearly half of them stayed and continued to admire the three exhibits.

Ye Tian and everyone at Sotheby's didn't care about the visitors leaving the venue, even if they were gone, it didn't matter! The preview will be over in ten minutes or so, it doesn't matter!

Calm quickly returned to the exhibition hall, and the exhibition continued.

Four or five minutes later, five New York police officers walked into the exhibition hall.

Each of them is fully armed, wearing steel helmets, brown goggles, and body armor, with pistols in holsters on the outside of their thighs. Four of them are holding automatic rifles, and one is carrying a shotgun. The firepower is very powerful.

Apparently, this is a tactical team, supposed to be from SWAT.

The age span of these five policemen is not large, between twenty-five and thirty-five years old, four men and one woman, three white and two black.

Everyone looked stern and unsmiling.

After entering the exhibition hall, they kept scanning the numerous visitors at the scene, as well as the environment in the exhibition hall, and of course, including the three treasures on the booth.

What they paid the most attention to was the security personnel around the booth, and their eyes stopped at the security personnel at least three or four times.

As the person in charge of security in the exhibition hall, Jack had already greeted the policemen.

The performance of these policemen is in line with the norms, and there seems to be no doubt about it.

But in Ye Tian's eyes, the feeling these policemen gave him was a bit awkward, as if something was wrong there.
