Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 3185 The Greatest Sculpture

Latest website: In the evening, Ye Tiancai took David and the others back to the hotel.

After a day of sweeping, he purchased a total of ten antique cultural relics and works of art, each of which was valuable, and he returned home with a full load.

Faced with such a result, Yahya and other Moroccans, who had been following and witnessing all this, were heartbroken.

And all the Moroccan antique dealers who were looted were so distraught that they wanted to jump into the Atlantic Ocean with regret.

After returning to the hotel, Ye Tian discovered.

Jason has returned to Rabat and rested for a long time, completely recovering his energy.

After the meeting, he first introduced the matter of escorting Braque's Cubist painting to BJ, and then said regretfully:

"I heard about Howard being kidnapped. Why didn't such a good thing happen to me? In that case, I could transform myself and become a billionaire directly!"

Ye Tian looked at this guy, and then said angrily:

"Everyone wants to get rich overnight and become a billionaire, but have you ever thought about the huge risks involved? What if I don't find the place where you are hidden in time? In that case, you will probably be silenced.

Even if I find a place to kill all the kidnappers afterwards and claim a compensation of 100 million US dollars or even more, but you won't enjoy any of the compensation, what's the point? So don’t be delusional! "

Jason couldn't help but froze for a moment and shuddered.

"It's really like this. It's really hard to earn 100 million US dollars. You might have to pay for it with your life. I'd better forget it! Let that guy Howard get rich!"

After chatting for a few words, Ye Tian changed the topic.

"Jason, you have to fly to BJ again in two days to deliver these top-notch antiques I bought in Rabat to BJ and give them to my family, and then fly to Casablanca."

"Okay, Steven"

Jason nodded, and then said excitedly:

"It seems that you have gained a lot today. Can you tell me what treasures you have bought?"

"No problem at all"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and then began to introduce today's harvest.

Following his introduction, Jason guy suddenly exclaimed again and again.

This guy was even more excited when he heard that he had found a large fragment of the statue of the goddess Athena.

"Stephen, have you collected all the fragments of the statue of the goddess Athena created by Phidias, the god of classical sculpture? Can you piece together the entire sculpture?"

Ye Tian nodded slightly and said proudly:

"The fragments of this statue of the goddess Athena have been collected almost, only half the head and some corner fragments are missing. Those fragments are not very important.

Now I can completely piece together this statue of the goddess Athena. The completeness of the piece will far exceed the treasure of the Louvre, the Statue of Victory.

Moreover, this statue of the goddess Athena is even more majestic and spectacular, representing the highest artistic level of ancient Greek classical sculpture. Once it comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world!

In comparison, "Venus of Milos", "Statue of Victory", Michelangelo's "David" and Rodin's "The Thinker" all pale in comparison! "

Upon hearing this, Jason and David immediately exclaimed.

"Wow! That's really exciting. I look forward to the day when this statue of the goddess Athena comes out of the sky."

"It is conceivable that once this statue of the goddess Athena is released, it will cause a huge sensation. It will definitely become the greatest sculpture in the world!"

Next, Ye Tian continued to introduce today's harvest.

While he was talking, the assistant lawyer who rushed to Madrid to negotiate with the Spanish government suddenly called.

After receiving the call, David asked the assistant lawyer to switch to a video call to report the situation there.

"Good evening, Steven and David, we have had our first meeting with representatives and lawyers of the Spanish government this afternoon, and have put forward our demands, including severe punishment of the parties involved, apology and compensation, etc.

The Spanish government has a good attitude and promises to punish the parties involved in this kidnapping case and hold the relevant personnel accountable. However, it is still in the investigation and evidence collection stage and the speed will not be that fast.

They also promised to publicly apologize, but the amount of compensation needs to be discussed again. At the same time, they made a request, hoping that we would not mention this matter frequently in front of the media and downplay the impact of this matter as soon as possible."

Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, and said disdainfully:

"There is only one way to downplay the impact of this incident, and that is to deal with the relevant responsible persons as soon as possible, publicly apologize and compensate. You can tell the Spaniards that the compensation amount of 100 million US dollars is non-negotiable!"

"Understood, Steven, I will convey your message to the Spanish government representatives and lawyers."

The assistant lawyer nodded in response.

Next, the guy continued to report the situation and discussed the next negotiation strategies with Ye Tian and David.

The video conference call ended about half an hour later.

However, Ye Tian was not able to relax.

After a short while, the Moroccan Minister of Culture and several antiques, cultural relics and art appraisal experts rushed to the hotel.

The purpose of their coming here is very simple, they just want to see the top antique cultural relics and works of art that Ye Tian collected today, and carefully evaluate them.

Ye Tian did not refuse, but generously took out the antique cultural relics and works of art for these Moroccans to appreciate and appraise.

Not only that, he also gave on-site guidance and explanations.

No need to ask about the result!

Each of those antique cultural relics and works of art are genuine, rare and top-notch antiques, cultural relics and works of art, and each piece is worth a lot of money.

After the appraisal and evaluation was completed, the Moroccan Minister of Culture proposed on the spot that he wanted to purchase some of the pieces, such as the red copper wine jug from the Carthage civilization!

Ye Tian didn't even listen to their quotation, so he just shook his head and refused.

He told these Moroccans that he would collect the antiques and artworks he purchased today, and they were welcome to go to his private museum in BJ to appreciate these treasures in the future.

Faced with such a result, the Moroccan Minister of Culture and others could only accept it, but there was nothing they could do.

Seeing that the acquisition was hopeless, they could only say goodbye and left the hotel with disappointment.

As soon as we got downstairs, the Moroccan Minister of Culture gritted his molars and ordered his men.

“Inform the antique dealers in Rabat and Casablanca, as well as all those who are engaged in the antique art business, to be vigilant and try to avoid a recurrence of what happened today.

Steven, this greedy bastard, is so terrifying. If he is allowed to continue sweeping away so unscrupulously, all the good things in the Moroccan antique art market will be robbed by this bastard! "

"Okay, Mr. Minister, I will let out the wind tonight!"

The subordinate nodded in response.

While they were talking, they walked out of the hotel and left in the car.

Soon, antique dealers of all sizes in Rabat and Casablanca, as well as other cities in Morocco, had received the news.

Be careful these days. If that bastard Steven comes to your door, be very vigilant and don’t let that greedy bastard rob you!

As this news spread rapidly, the field of Moroccan antique art collection suddenly entered a state of turmoil, and everyone was frightened!

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Ye Tian and his group walked out of the hotel door chatting and laughing, preparing to start today's tour.

Before them, Nick led the exploration team to excavate and clean up ancient Roman treasures and had already set off for the ruins of Shela.

They spent the whole day yesterday making preparations for the excavation.

For example, Gu took detailed pictures of the scene, numbered each stone and architectural fragment, and determined their location.

This work is expected to continue for a day or two before the actual excavation and cleanup operations can begin.

Seeing Ye Tian and others coming out, the media reporters who were guarding the door of the hotel immediately rushed up and asked questions loudly at the top of their lungs.

"Good morning, Steven, I am a reporter from Catalan. As far as I know, your company's lawyers held negotiations with relevant Spanish government officials in Madrid yesterday. Can you tell us about the negotiations? "

"Good morning, Steven, I am a reporter from the Moroccan National Television. I would like to ask you, what do you plan to do with the antiques and artworks you bought in Rabat yesterday?"

Ye Tian looked at the media reporters outside the cordon, and just waved hello to them without making any response, and then boarded the bulletproof SUV parked in front of him.

After others got on the bus one after another, the motorcade suddenly started and drove away from the hotel entrance.

About twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at the entrance of an antique flea market at the junction of Rabat’s New City and Sale’s Old City.

This is the largest antique flea market in Rabat, not far from Oudaya Castle.

The arrival of the joint exploration fleet immediately attracted a lot of attention, and people at the entrance of the market looked over.

A few days have passed, and the citizens of Rabat already know the origin of this convoy and who is sitting in those sturdy bulletproof SUVs.

The moment they saw this convoy, there was a commotion among the crowd.

"Look, it's that guy Steven here. As expected, this greedy bastard is determined to completely wipe out the Rabat antique art market!"

"Isn't it? It seems that someone is going to be unlucky again today. Many stalls may be ransacked, and the entire market may even face a catastrophe!"

While people were talking about it, Ye Tian got out of the car and stood at the door of the market, looking at the largest and most important antique flea market in Morocco.

This is an Arab-style market, and the most people coming in and out are naturally Arabs and Berbers wearing robes.

Unlike other Arab countries I have visited before, Morocco's folk customs are relatively civilized, and there are many Arab women shopping here.

Although they are also wearing Arab robes, their faces, hands and feet are not wrapped, and the costumes are colorful, which can be regarded as a good scenery.

In addition to the local Arabs and Berbers, there are also many tourists from all over the world, including many Chinese tourists.

While Ye Tian was looking at this antique flea market.

The news of his arrival has quickly swept through the entire market like a tornado and reached the ears of many people.

Especially those shop owners and stall owners who run antique businesses were very upset after receiving the news.

"Damn it, this greedy bastard Steven is still here. This is not a good thing."

After some cursing, these guys began to look at the goods in their hands to see if there was anything good that they had overlooked to avoid being looted.

Unfortunately, most people find nothing.

The things in the shops and stalls are what they were before and what they are now. There has been no change.

The value of those things did not suddenly increase just because they took a few more glances at it.

Market entrance.

Yahya and Professor Paul came one after another and met with Ye Tian and the others.

When everyone arrived, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, let's go shopping together in this famous antique flea market. I have been famous for this market for a long time. I hope I can make some surprising discoveries today and come back with a full load.

Now that you are here, you can’t spend a day shopping with me. If you see something you like that looks like an antique cultural relic, but you can’t make up your mind, I can help you take a look! "

Before he finished speaking, Professor Paul's eyes suddenly lit up and shone brightly.

Several Moroccan officials, including Yahya, were also excited and full of expectations.

"That's great, Steven. With a top expert in antiques, cultural relics and artworks like you helping us, we might be able to get one or two valuable antiques, cultural relics and artworks."

Professor Kane said excitedly, looking eager to try.

"But let me declare in advance that I will only help each of you three times. I will not care if it exceeds three times, so you must use these three opportunities carefully."

Ye Tian continued with a smile and got a dose of vaccination.

Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything else today, and he would be too busy just to help these old friends.

"Okay, Steven, three chances are already a lot. In this case, if we haven't found anything yet, it means our vision and luck are poor, and we can't blame others!"

Professor Paul nodded and said, and the others also nodded.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Gentlemen, let's go in. I hope everyone can discover something."

With that said, Ye Tian walked into this antique flea market.

The others immediately followed, all looking forward to it.

Many security personnel led by Mattis and Moroccan security personnel also followed, scattered around Ye Tian and the others, staring at the surroundings with vigilance.

Among the bustling crowds, there are many security personnel disguised as locals and tourists, keeping a close eye on the people around them and protecting them secretly.

There are several sniper teams hidden in several relatively high buildings around the market, monitoring the antique flea market from a high position and protecting Ye Tian and the others.

While talking, Ye Tian and the others walked into this antique flea market.

Near the entrance of the market, there are mostly places selling handicrafts and tourist souvenirs, and there are no antiques or artworks.

However, those handicrafts unique to Morocco are also worth seeing.

Therefore, everyone was not moving very fast. They were laughing and chatting while admiring the various goods on the stalls on both sides, which was very pleasant.

If it weren't for the tough armed security personnel around them, their group would not be much different from other tourists who come here to shop for Taobao!

While talking, everyone had walked forward more than ten meters and passed several stalls.

At this moment, Professor Douglas suddenly said:

"Steven, what do you think of this clay pot? This pot looks very beautiful and very eye-catching."

As he spoke, the guy pointed to a beautiful blue clay pot on the stall next to him.

Following the direction of his finger, everyone immediately looked over.

Ye Tian also took a look, then smiled and said:

"This is not an antique artifact or work of art. Professor Douglas, are you sure you want to use this opportunity?"

Professor Douglas was very open-minded, smiled and nodded.

"It doesn't matter whether it's an antique relic or a work of art. What's important is that I like it. I want to buy this jar and give it to my wife. I believe she will also like it!"

"Yes, liking is the most important thing!"

Ye Tian nodded and then introduced:

“This is a blue pottery mosaic pot produced in Fes, Morocco. It is a specialty of Fes and a very good handicraft. It is very good to display at home as a decoration.

The metal inlaid on this pottery pot looks like silver, and the rubies and sapphires are all man-made, so they won’t be very expensive. You should be able to check them in here, so you’ll save yourself the trouble! "

Listening to his introduction, everyone at the scene was secretly amazed.

This guy is so amazing. He can see so many things at a glance from a distance of three or four meters. It seems that there is really nothing he doesn't know!
