Chapter 2794

After "Vitruvian Man", Ye Tian showed everyone another da Vinci's work, which was a small portrait of a character, the character in the painting was Ludovic's youngest daughter.

This oil painting is packed in the wooden box where "Caterina" is located, and the wooden box contains all the portraits created by Da Vinci for the members of the Sforza family.

Among them are "Caterina", "Maximilian Sforza", "Ludovic Sforza", and portraits of Ludovic's wife and two daughters, but the portrait of the second son is missing.

Among these priceless portraits, the two paintings with the highest value are "Caterina" and "Ludovic Sforza", while the other paintings are of slightly lower value.

Of course, this is based on the historical status of the characters in the painting. From the perspective of artistic value, these oil paintings are similar, because they were all created by Da Vinci at the same time.

Among them, the smallest and most inconspicuous oil painting is a personal portrait of Ludovic's youngest daughter. This oil painting is about the same size as the "Mona Lisa".

Because of its small size, Ye Tian brought this priceless oil painting with him when he left the hidden underground palace deep underground.

As for other top oil paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, such as the third "Virgin of the Rocks" and "Caterina", they are still placed in the underground palace.

There is only one way to transport them to the ground, and that is to remove them from the picture frame, then roll them up and put them in a painting tube, and then bring them to the ground!

Unsurprisingly, the appearance of this portrait of Ludovic's youngest daughter once again detonated the meeting room, causing everyone at the scene to exclaim and be excited!

After introducing the oil painting and letting everyone appreciate it, Ye Tian carefully put the oil painting away and put it in a portable safe.

Next, he showed several Da Vinci's sketches and scientific research manuscripts, including two sketches of Francesco Sforza's giant sculptures, and one of the design drawings of the three-legged car. open.

Without exception, these priceless sketch manuscripts and historical documents from the hands of Da Vinci shocked the audience again and again, and also attracted waves of applause and exclamation.

Especially those Italians who just arrived here and saw these priceless treasures for the first time, including the Italian Prime Minister, were almost stimulated to complete madness, and everyone's eyes were blood red.

Especially for the Italian Prime Minister and several other high-ranking Italian officials, greed is almost completely devouring their sanity!

If it weren't for the special situation, countless eyes from all over the world are watching here, and the opponent is too tough, the Italian Prime Minister really wants to tear off his face and forcibly intercept this shocking treasure and all the top antique works of art!

After showing these top artworks and manuscripts created by Leonardo Da Vinci, Ye Tian showed two other oil paintings, both of which were made by top art masters in the early and middle period of the Renaissance, and they are also priceless!

These two top oil paintings are relatively small in size and can be brought to the ground without removing the frame, so they can appear in this conference room!

Next, there is another small bronze sculpture from the Hellenistic period, and a bronze sculpture from the ancient Roman period, which are also priceless top-level antique works of art, all from the hands of masters.

Finally, there is a document signed by Ludovic to prove the origin of this astonishing treasure.

After Ye Tian showed this historical document and put it away, the meeting room became quiet, except for the rapid breathing of an old cow pulling a broken cart, there was no other sound.

Not only that, all the Italians at the scene were flushed with excitement and short of breath, which made people worry about their physical condition, whether they would suddenly faint!

The American ambassador who was also present, and the two cardinals who had just arrived here on behalf of the Vatican, all had shocking expressions on their faces, with greedy eyes flickering from time to time!

After a while, the Italian Prime Minister first took a long breath, and then said excitedly:

"Wow! This treasure is amazing! It's unbelievable! The top-notch artwork and precious manuscripts created by Da Vinci alone are enough to make this discovery the greatest discovery in the history of Western art!"

Following the words of the Italian Prime Minister, everyone at the scene came to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, the conference room was completely boiled over. Except for a few people including Ye Tian and David, the rest of the people held their heads and exclaimed, almost crazy.

Some of the Italian experts and scholars from Rome even burst into tears with excitement and couldn't control themselves!

Ye Tian had expected the performance of everyone at the scene, and was not surprised at all.

He just smiled softly, sat in his seat, watching these old and cunning guys perform, it is not a pleasure!

After a few minutes, the scene gradually quieted down, and everyone's emotions calmed down a lot.

When the mood calmed down a bit, the Italian Prime Minister couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, although we signed a tripartite agreement in Rome before, which determined the way to deal with the treasures and antique works of art discovered during your trip to Italy.

But no one expected that you would find the treasure of the Sforza family in Milan, and this treasure is so amazing that it is different from the few treasures you found in Rome.

As the situation has changed, the tripartite agreement we signed in Rome will also need to be adjusted appropriately to adapt to the new situation. I hope you can understand this.

Before that, I had a phone call with His Majesty the Pope and the President of the United States, and shared my thoughts. We must consider the feelings of the Italian people! "

While saying these words, the Italian Prime Minister kept staring at Ye Tian, ​​and nodded to the American ambassador and the two cardinals.

As soon as his words fell, the Italian Minister of Culture continued to say:

"Steven, when you were facing media reporters outside just now, you said that you have your own ideas on how to deal with the treasures of the Sforza family. Can you tell everyone now? We really want to know!"

Ye Tian looked at the Italian Prime Minister and the Minister of Culture sitting across from him, then scanned the crowd, and then said loudly with a smile:

"Mr. Prime Minister, and other gentlemen, since we have signed the tripartite agreement, we should abide by it. We should have a minimum contractual spirit, and we cannot tear up this tripartite agreement just because the situation changes!

Of course, what I said may be a bit heavy. If it makes everyone feel unhappy, please forgive me, but this is my way of doing things and it will not change. I want to ensure that the interests of myself and the company are not violated! "

Following these words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and it seemed that even the temperature dropped a few degrees.

All the Italians at the scene changed their complexions and turned livid. There was anger in everyone's eyes, and their teeth itched with hatred.

At this moment, each of them wished they could jump directly from the conference table, kick Ye Tian to the ground, beat him up, and let out the bad breath accumulated in their hearts!

Before the Italians gave a response, Ye Tian continued to say:

"I do have my own ideas on how to deal with the treasures of the Sforza family, the top antiques and artworks hidden in this treasure, and those historical documents, but I can tell you about them.

The first way to deal with it is according to the tripartite agreement we signed in Rome before, most of the gold and silver treasures from the Sforza family treasures, I will deal with them on the spot in Milan and Italy, and sell or auction them directly.

The Milan City Government, the Italian Government, top collectors and major museums in Italy, and even major banks, as well as the US Government and the Vatican, can all participate in transactions or auctions, and everyone is welcome to participate.

All these transactions and auctions must be based on the valuation I gave. As for whether you will coordinate and communicate in private to avoid excessive competition, I will not interfere. This is the biggest concession I can make!

In this way, you can get your favorite gold and silver treasures at the lowest price, and everyone is happy. Whether you will resell those gold and silver treasures for profit after that, I don’t care, it has nothing to do with me!

For the part of the gold and silver treasures that have not been sold, I will bring them back to New York and pick a part of them for my own collection. The rest of the gold and silver treasures will be sold one after another in the future, or appear in major auction venues!

I believe everyone is very clear that our company has always been law-abiding. Through this series of transactions, the Italian government and the Milan city government will receive an astronomically huge amount of taxes, and not a cent will be lost!

I will also choose to deal with all the antiques, works of art, and historical documents from the Sforza family’s treasures, with a strong religious color, in Italy, and I don’t intend to collect them, so I will take them away!

Those who participate in the transaction can be the Milan City Government and the Italian Government, the Vatican, the US Government, as well as top collectors and famous museums in Italy. The principle of the transaction is simple, that is, the highest bidder wins!

For the remaining antiques and artworks that have nothing to do with religion, I will collect the top-quality and representative ones among them, and I will display them in my private museum in the future for everyone to appreciate.

Those of relatively average value, I will take them back to New York to deal with them slowly, or directly entrust them to major auction houses in Italy, or hold a private auction to dispose of those antique relics and artworks!

The second method of handling is much simpler. All the gold and silver treasures from the Sforza family's treasures are all left to the Italian government and the Milan government, and they should be offset against taxes. That is an astronomically huge amount of wealth!

All the antiques and works of art and historical documents from the treasures of the Sforza family, regardless of their value, will be taken away by me and disposed of. The Italian government must not interfere, and more importantly, no double taxation will be allowed!

In this way, Italy can get an astonishing treasure without paying a penny, but there are only gold and silver treasures in this treasure, and I am sure that this treasure must bring more taxes than the first processing method ! "

Before the words fell, the scene immediately exploded.

"Impossible, Steven, you are so greedy, you want to monopolize all the priceless antiques, top artworks, and precious historical documents. Go ahead and dream!"
