Treasure Hunt all over the World

Some people chose to accept the conditions offered by Ye Tian, ​​while others held different opinions.

The person in charge of the National Gallery of America stood up and said solemnly:

"Steven, I still can't accept this condition, let you take 50% of the stolen antique artworks on the video, although the list of stolen goods you mentioned is very tempting.

Those stolen antique works of art not only belong to our gallery, but also belong to all the public. If they are successfully retrieved and some of them fall into your hands, we may not be able to explain to the public! "

Obviously, this person is afraid of taking responsibility, afraid of not being able to face the accountability of the media and the public.

This is indeed a very real problem. The media and the public will not consider the probability of the stolen antique artwork being recovered, they will only focus on the stolen antique artwork itself.

In their view, as long as the stolen antique works of art are recovered and the publicized reward is paid, all of them should be taken back to the museum, not one piece is missing!

If you let them know that some of the stolen antiques were swallowed by Ye Tianjing, the museum will indeed bear a lot of pressure, and even be held accountable!

There's an element of public property to stolen antique art, and there's also an element of envy!

Of course, private museums and those famous collectors are another matter! They have no such troubles.

The words of the head of the National Gallery of America were a problem faced by many museum curators present. Discussions immediately rang out in the conference room, and everyone began to discuss in low voices!

For this problem, Ye Tian has already thought up a strategy to deal with it, so he is not surprised, someone will always bring it up, sooner or later!

He stretched out his hands again and pressed down, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

When the discussion subsided, he immediately smiled calmly and said:

"Gentlemen, I have considered this issue a long time ago and found a more suitable solution. You can listen to me. I believe that everyone should be able to accept this solution!"

"Okay, let's talk about it, how to solve this problem?"

The person in charge of the National Gallery of America said, with a bit of curiosity.

The same goes for the others, they all looked at Ye Tian curiously, expecting his answer.

Ye Tian smiled and nodded to everyone, and then began to talk about his solution.

"I know that everyone is reluctant to part with those stolen antique works of art. I can understand this. They are all top-level antique works of art with extraordinary artistic value and market value. Who would be willing to part with them?

After the case is successfully solved and some of the stolen antique works of art are obtained, everyone is welcome to come to me for private transactions. The goods traded are of course those stolen antique works of art, and the price is the current market price!

In this way, everyone can successfully get back all the stolen antique works of art, put them back in the exhibition hall, and display them in front of the public. Faced with this result, what excuses do the media and the public have to hold them accountable?

In addition, through the Art Thief's Stolen List, you can recover more stolen antique artworks. At that time, the media and the public will not criticize them even more, and will only praise them! "

"Steven, you are such a greedy bastard, you only have money in your eyes!"

Brandon, the curator of the Gardner Museum, laughed and cursed angrily, his eyes were extremely bright, and he was very excited.

At this moment, he saw the hope of recovering all the stolen works of art. If he could recover all 13 stolen top-level works of art, it would be perfect!

Of course, repurchase funds are not a small problem.

In addition to the museum's own funds, we can only find a way to find the billionaires and many trustees who support the museum!

If it doesn't work, you can find a bank loan, or sell some inventory of antique artworks for turnover. I believe there will always be a way! No matter what, take back all the stolen antique works of art!

As soon as Brandon finished speaking, the director of the Art Institute of Chicago immediately continued:

"The method is good, but where does the repurchase fund come from? They are all top-level antique works of art, each of which is worth a lot of money, and you guys are going to sell them at the market price. Where can we raise such a large sum of money?"

Ye Tian nodded at the other party, and replied calmly:

"As far as I know, except for the 13 top-level antique artworks stolen from the Gardner Museum more than 20 years ago, all other stolen antique artworks have been covered by art insurance.

After these antique works of art were stolen, the stolen museum must have received the corresponding insurance compensation. The amount may be more or less, but it should be the market price at that time. Am I right about this? "

"That's right, our insurance company did pay the indemnity at the current market price, and it was very timely, and there was no default!"

The representative of AXA Art Insurance Company nodded in agreement, and the representatives of several other insurance companies also nodded in confirmation.

Even the museums cannot deny this, and the compensation has indeed been put into their pockets.

Only Brandon rolled Ye Tian's eyes angrily, you bastard, you really can't open any pot! This is using us as a negative teaching material! It's so unreasonable!

After glancing at everyone's reactions, Ye Tian continued to say:

"When these stolen antique works of art are recovered, if your museums want to get these treasures back, they must return the insurance compensation they got at the beginning, everyone knows this!

At that time, some of the stolen antique works of art should have belonged to me. If you want to get these treasures back, the corresponding insurance compensation should be converted into repurchase funds as a matter of course!

There will be more or less a premium here, and the funds for these premiums can only be borne by various museums, I believe it will not be too much! For museums, it shouldn't be a problem.

In addition, there are some things that need to be coordinated between various museums and art insurance companies. I believe it will not be difficult for you to reach an agreement and get a happy result! "

Hearing these words, the eyes of many museum owners at the scene lit up! Shine bright!

This guy Steven is right! There is also insurance compensation that can be used. In this way, the cost of repurchase will definitely be greatly reduced, and it is not unbearable.

Thinking of this, the owners of several museums that were only stolen in recent years immediately beamed with joy and seemed particularly excited, and almost cheered.

Because their museum was stolen very recently, the premium for the corresponding antique artwork is naturally relatively small!

This means that they don't need to spend much money, they only need to return the insurance compensation, and they can basically get back all the stolen antique works of art, and the loss is almost negligible! Can you not be excited?

Those museum owners who have been stolen for a long time have a relatively low level of excitement.

Because the premiums for their stolen antique artworks are quite high, the cost of repurchase is relatively high.

Even so, it would save a lot of buyback costs, and they were also very excited.

They were not the only ones who were excited. The owners of several private museums, several famous collectors, and the art brokers who came on behalf of their clients were all beaming and excited!

"Steven, you guy really worked so hard to make money! It's just too cunning!"

Julian joked, smiling very brightly.

"Hahaha"

There was hearty laughter in the conference room, and every voice was very excited.

Of course, there are also those who feel uncomfortable, that is, those senior executives of the art insurance company!

After the laughter fell, the representative of AXA Art Insurance said with a wry smile:

"Steven, you are so dishonest. Only our insurance company is the one who co-authored it!"

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter immediately at the scene, and everyone was amused by the words.

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, then smiled and said:

"Who said you guys are being taken advantage of? You know, this group of art thieves has existed for more than 20 years, and they are so crazy, they must have amassed a very astonishingly huge fortune!

There are also those unscrupulous collectors who collect stolen goods. Since they are obsessed with collecting top-level antique art, they must all be rich and have dollars in their hands!

You can sue these guys to make up for your losses. The losses mentioned here include capital costs such as interest and inflation, as well as the manpower and material resources you spent!

In this way, what loss will you have? You might even make a fortune! It's even more cost-effective than keeping your money in the bank, what a great thing! "

Everyone at the scene was completely dumbfounded, staring at Ye Tian dumbfounded.

How did this guy Steven come up with this? What a monster!

He is as thoughtful as a hornet's nest, as expected of having been on Wall Street, he is extremely shrewd!

After the shock, the eyes of representatives of several art insurance companies immediately lit up and became extremely bright.

Not a bad idea! Definitely give it a try, the odds of success seem pretty high!

Joey and the deputy director of the FBI were very annoyed, and they all gritted their teeth and stared at Ye Tian.

What a jerk! It is really abominable to instigate others to take food from our rice bowl!
