Treasure Hunt all over the World

The next day, everyone packed their bags early and prepared to go south to Kentucky.

But they didn't leave immediately, but continued to stay in the hotel room, because Ye Tian was waiting for someone.

At ten o'clock, the waiting person finally arrived!

David, the director of Sotheby's American Contemporary Art Department, two Pop Art appraisal experts, and several armed security guards flew to Pittsburgh by Sotheby's special plane to appraise "Marilyn Monroe".

After expert appraisal, if this portrait is indeed the authentic work of Andy Warhol, Ye Tian will sign a consignment auction contract on the spot, and send this famous painting directly to Sotheby's autumn auction!

As for the authenticity of this painting, Ye Tian is naturally very sure, but whether the two pop art experts at Sotheby's can identify it is unknown!

The painting is unsigned and is a silkscreen print, there are too many copies of it on the market! It is really difficult to come up with an appraisal conclusion immediately.

Even if they couldn't immediately identify the authenticity and sign the consignment auction contract, Ye Tian still planned to entrust them to bring the painting back to New York and store it in Sotheby's vault.

Then they can contact other pop art experts, Andy Warhol researchers to continue the identification, or wait until they come back from the south, and then do this thing!

All in all, Ye Tian never wanted to take this famous painting worth tens of millions of dollars, drive across the four southern states, and search for treasures on Corridor 127, that would be too dangerous! Just asking for trouble!

If the news is accidentally leaked out, it will definitely attract countless people with ulterior motives! Get ready to loot yourself on the 127 freeway!

Even if you have a strong deterrent of force, and the police and FBI follow closely, it is still useless!

$10 million! This can definitely drive a lot of people to complete madness, and they don't care about any danger at all! Also ignore all obstacles! Flock to yourself!

If so, this trip to Corridor 127 will definitely become a journey of blood and fire! This is a scene that Ye Tian doesn't want to see!

Of course, if someone doesn't have eyes, he insists on hitting the muzzle of the gun and looking for death! He is absolutely welcome! I will definitely greet all the bastards who kill me!

Just after ten o'clock, David and the others walked into the suite, and several armed security guards who had fought side by side with Ye Tian stood guard outside the door.

"Steven, it seems that Sotheby's needs to hold a special autumn auction for you! You guys have found another treasure,

And it's an authentic Andy Warhol! Fortunately, even the gods would be jealous! "

David said loudly with a smile, the envy in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

At this moment, he is very happy, and he can earn a large commission again!

As for the authenticity of the painting, he has no doubts, it is definitely the real thing! When did this guy, Steven, miss him? There is no doubt at all.

"Hahaha, I also hope that one day, Sotheby's will hold a grand special autumn auction for me, which will definitely shock the entire collection world. I believe this day will not be too far away!"

Ye Tian laughed and hugged David, his words and expressions were full of confidence and firmness.

After greeting Betty and the others, David began to introduce the three people who came in, all from Sotheby's.

"Steven, this is the head of Sotheby's American contemporary art department, Robinson, these two are experts in pop art appraisal, Campbell and Shamansa"

"Good morning, I'm Steven, thank you for coming to Pittsburgh and helping me identify artwork!"

Ye Tian greeted with a smile, and shook hands with these experts.

"Steven, congratulations on finding the baby again, Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe", wow! Just thinking of these two names can drive people crazy! You are definitely super lucky!

You are now a Platinum customer of Sotheby's, the highest priority service object. As long as you need it, no matter where you are, we will be on call to provide you with the most outstanding appraisal and auction services! "

Robinson spoke passionately, his eyes bright and eager.

The other two appraisal experts also had extremely excited expressions.

For those guys who study American contemporary art, Andy Warhol is the top master. Can you not be excited to appraise his paintings?

After chatting for a few words, everyone immediately went straight to the topic.

Ye Tian took out "Marilyn Monroe" and placed it on the table.

"Guys, please enjoy, this is Andy Warhol's Marilyn, America's Sexy Goddess!"

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside and chatted with David about New York in a low voice, waiting for the identification results to come out.

Robinson and the others were already extremely excited, holding identification tools, and threw themselves on this famous pop art painting, almost fanatical!

Identification begins!

Several appraisal experts held a high-power magnifying glass to check every detail of the painting, very seriously and carefully, and did not miss any subtleties.

When they encounter disagreements, they will argue, or quickly reach an agreement, or disagree, and even fight red-faced!

There is no doubt that this is the professional attitude!

Fifteen minutes later, Robinson and the others raised their heads one after another, and the preliminary identification was over.

At this moment, there was both excitement and doubt in their eyes.

The three discussed a few more words in a low voice, and quickly formed a consensus. Afterwards, Robinson began to announce the conclusion of the appraisal.

"Steven, according to our identification, the canvas and paint of this "Marilyn Monroe" all came from New York in the 1960s. It is a local brand in New York, and now it has ceased production and disappeared.

This kind of canvas and paint is the most commonly used brand of Andy Warhol. From this, we can basically judge that this painting should be from Andy Warhol, and it is his work.

But we can only make a basic judgment at present, but we are not sure. This painting does not have Andy's signature, and it is a screen printing, so it is difficult to come to a definite answer right away.

If we want to confirm the conclusion, there are still a series of appraisals to be done. We hope to bring this painting back to New York, do the most comprehensive appraisal, and come up with the final appraisal conclusion! "

After finishing speaking, Robinson and the others stared nervously at Ye Tian's face, expecting to hear the most wanted answer!

This is of course Andy Warhol's Marilyn, buddy is absolutely sure!

Ye Tian burst into a confident smile, and then he nodded in agreement with Robinson and the others.

"You can take this painting back to New York for a full appraisal, but there must be no damage, because I am absolutely sure that this is Andy's authentic work!

When you start the appraisal, you may wish to jointly appraise it with the Museum of Modern Art. This painting is likely to be the same period as the Marilyn in MOMA.

Comparing the two, it should be much easier and quicker. You will definitely be pleasantly surprised and come to an early identification conclusion. I am waiting for your good news! "

"Great! Thank you Steven, we also think this is very similar to the MOMA one. I didn't expect you to have this idea. We will contact MOMA immediately when we go back. I believe they will not refuse!"

Robinson shook his fist excitedly, and the other two immediately started cheering.

Next, Ye Tian signed several documents, took many detailed photos of "Marilyn Monroe", and then handed over this famous painting to Robinson and the others.

After the matter was settled, David and Robinson left here and returned to New York!

Ye Tian and the others also pulled the suitcase, walked out of the hotel with ease, and walked towards the parking lot!

...

Soon, two black full-size SUVs sped out of Pittsburgh and sped southwest along Highway 79, heading straight for West Virginia!

Behind their car, the Pennsylvania State Police and the FBI followed, still clenching tightly, not daring to relax at all.

"This New York bastard is not going to cross the United States and go to the West Coast, is he? Then the guys along the way must have no peace!"

"Whatever! As long as this bastard doesn't cause trouble in Pennsylvania, those guys just now really startled me, thinking something big is going to happen!"

"Me too, luckily it's Sotheby's armed security, there's no danger! I bet this bastard Steven must have found a treasure in Pittsburgh, what is it?"

While discussing heatedly, looking at the SUV in front of them, the eyes of several policemen were full of envy.

What a lucky bastard! God is so unfair, why is this bastard responsible for all the good things?

Pittsburgh was not far from the state border. One hour later, Ye Tian and his two cars turned onto Highway 70 and left Pennsylvania.

When the two SUVs entered West Virginia, Jason's excited voice quickly came from the intercom.

"Steven, those damned policemen didn't keep up, so I finally don't have to worry about speeding all the time!"

"Hahaha, of course, this is not their jurisdiction! If you follow them, you will cross the boundary!"

Ye Tian laughed and replied with a very relaxed expression.

It is absolutely impossible to be comfortable being followed like a gangrene! After getting rid of the police, he felt much happier.

"West Virginia police don't seem to be responding, this is so cool! I can finally run freely!"

Walker's voice came next, full of excitement!

Apparently, the police were following him like a baton, and he was also getting depressed.

After the words fell, the two SUVs picked up the speed at the same time, and in a blink of an eye they were already at 85 miles per hour.

Amidst the roar of the engine, the two behemoths were like two black bolts of lightning, speeding forward quickly, passing by countless vehicles, attracting many people on the road to stare at them!

85 mph, that's the speed limit on U.S. highways, and if you go over that, you'll call the police!

If you don't want to have a thrilling road chase, it's best to stay within this speed on American highways!

But unfortunately, the good times didn't last long!

The territory of West Virginia is very narrow here. It didn't take 20 minutes for Ye Tian and the others to rush into Ohio.

On the edge of the state line, the Ohio police have long been on alert, eyeing two black full-size SUVs speeding forward!

"Jason, get ready to slow down! 65 miles!"

About 100 meters away from the state border, Walker's voice sounded in time.

"receive!"

Jason responded excitedly, with a hint of a smile.

The moment they crossed the state line, the speed of the two SUVs just slowed down and entered Ohio at a speed of 65 miles.

Seeing this scene, several Ohio policemen couldn't help sucking their teeth.

Cunning New York bastard! You'd better not cause trouble in Ohio, otherwise you will be overwhelmed!

The two SUVs continued to speed forward, and the tails behind followed closely!
