Ye Tian continued talking with joy, and introduced the dilapidated statue of Athena to Betty and the others, and the creator of this statue, Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture.
"..., one of Phidias' representative works, "The Statue of Athena in the Parthenon", is recognized as a model of the glorious period of ancient Greece and represents the highest peak of ancient Greek carving art.
The incomplete statue of Athena in front of me, although not "The Idol of Athena in the Parthenon", is in the same line as the statue, and its artistic value is almost the same. It is truly invaluable.
All information about this statue of Athena must be kept strictly confidential. If the Italians know that this is an outstanding work by Phidias, those greedy guys will instantly fall into madness.
Until then, we don't even want to leave Rome, leave Italy, or even leave the Vatican with this statue of Athena. The Italian cultural relics gendarmerie will encircle the Vatican.
In addition to the Italians, we have to be careful about the Vatican, especially the guys in the Vatican Museum. We must not let them know the relevant news, otherwise accidents will occur.
Compared with this statue of Athena, the treasures of the town hall in the Vatican Museum, "Statues of Laocoon and His Sons", "Remnant Body", and "Apollo on the Watch Tower" are not worth mentioning. !
In addition, beware of the Greeks. Athena is the **** of Athena carved by Phidias, the patron saint of Athens, Greece. It is also the most outstanding and prestigious statue of Athena in all ages.
It is completely conceivable that once I let the Greeks know, I found a statue of Athena of Phidias, the whole of Greece will be a sensation, all Greeks will be crazy about it, and have to be careful! "
Speaking of this, Ye Tian's expression suddenly became a lot more solemn, and his tone became extremely serious.
Hearing his words, David and Anderson both nodded slightly.
"Understood, Steven, we know what to do, although rest assured, we will never reveal any information about this statue of Athena!"
Betty also nodded at Ye Tian and held his right hand, but didn't say much.
Immediately afterwards, David asked curiously:
"Steven, since this statue of Athena is so important, what do you plan to do with it? Obviously, it can't be placed in the Vatican or Rome. It is dangerous to stay here for a second!"
Ye Tian nodded lightly, then smiled and said:
"I plan to collect this statue of Athena myself. In the future, I will establish my own private museum. When my private museum is established, this statue of Athena will become the treasure of the sculpture museum!
In terms of sculpture alone, with this statue of Athena of Phidias sitting in town, no matter the Vatican Museum, the British Museum, or the Louvre in France, my private museum is not inferior to it.
Anderson, go back and prepare. Take a few security personnel to **** this statue of Athena and the antique Chinese artworks purchased today to Beijing, and leave early tomorrow to avoid long nights.
I will contact Air China later to charter a large passenger plane to transport these treasures, and fly directly to Beijing. After arriving at Beijing Airport, someone will meet you at the airport and receive these treasures! "
When the voice fell, Anderson immediately nodded in response:
"Okay, Steven, I can go anytime"
"Steven, why is it Beijing and not New York? This statue of Athena is a Western art after all. It seems more appropriate to ship it to New York for collection and exhibition, right?"
David asked in amazement, a little bit that didn't understand Ye Tian's decision.
Except for Betty, the others are the same, everyone is a bit confused.
Ye Tian smiled softly, and then gave the answer.
"The reason is very simple. My private museum will be located in the center of Beijing. It will be a comprehensive museum that covers Eastern and Western art and has countless top antique artworks.
As we all know, compared with the famous museums in the West, the collections of antique art in Chinese museums are relatively simple, and the collections are basically Chinese antique art, including the Forbidden City.
There is a big gap in the collection of Western antique art in the Chinese Museum. I intend to fill this gap and make my museum a bridge connecting Eastern and Western art and culture.
More importantly, as China's economy continues to develop rapidly, its people are getting richer and richer, living conditions are getting better, and people's pursuit of spiritual life is becoming more colorful!
Moreover, China has a population of 1.4 billion, and Beijing is also China's political, economic and cultural center. Every year countless people flood into Beijing. This is an extremely huge market, and I don't want to miss it.
New York is different. If my private museum is opened in New York, even if there is a statue of Athena, because of the serious homogeneity, it will inevitably be diverted by the Metropolis, MOMA and other museums."
"Wow! Your ambition is really too big. This is to build a world-class private museum!"
"This is really an amazing idea, I have to say, Steven, you guys are so shrewd! It's amazing!"
There was a sound of exclamation in the living room, and David and the others were shocked by Ye Tian's shaking plan.
After a few chats, Ye Tian returned to the topic.
"When Anderson and the others leave Rome with this statue of Athena and arrive in Beijing safely, I will offer a reward in Italy, Greece, and even the world to collect the remaining fragments of this statue.
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. I believe that once the reward is posted, it will definitely receive very good results, and it will definitely be able to retrieve a part of the statue fragments. Of course, the more the better.
At that time, depending on the size, location, and importance of the statue fragments that people retrieve, I will give different rewards, ranging from several thousand dollars to millions of dollars.
I will make a list, indicating that the statue of Athena has passed through those places, and then announce it to the public. I will mobilize all the people in these places to find fragments of the statue for me.
As for whether the fragments of the statue that people retrieved came from this statue of Athena, I have my own way to make an accurate judgment. No one can hide from my eyes and fish in troubled waters! "
"Yes, Steven, there must be a brave man under the reward. Once the reward is announced, it will definitely cause a sensation. There will be many people who will take the initiative to find the statue fragments for you. This is a very good way!"
David agreed and nodded, and the others nodded.
Next, while chatting, everyone admired this dilapidated statue of Athena and the many fragments of the statue, and whispered about where those fragments should be spliced together.
Unfortunately, no progress has been made, and the scattered statue fragments cannot be spliced onto the statue.
After about ten minutes of appreciation, everyone's talent was still over.
Afterwards, Ye Tian wrapped the statue fragments with the prepared cotton cloth and sponge, carefully packed them into the solid wood crates, and sealed the boxes.
After doing this, he took out his mobile phone and started contacting Air China, planning to charter a large passenger plane to fly directly to Beijing.
For his large customers who charter flights at every turn, Air China naturally attaches great importance to them. They quickly identified the large passenger aircraft responsible for the delivery mission and began to prepare the flight plan.
Next, Ye Tian walked into the bedroom again and called the sister-in-law in Beijing and the old gentlemen in the Forbidden City one by one, asking them to send someone to pick up the goods at the airport.
When talking to my sister-in-law, he didn't hide it, but directly explained the importance of this statue of Athena, and asked her to protect this mutilated sculpture anyway. This is a priceless treasure!
After listening to his introduction, my sister-in-law screamed directly on the phone, almost crazy!
My sister-in-law also knows Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture, and also knows how precious the statue of Athena he sculpted is. This is the only one in the world, a properly priceless treasure! Can you not feel crazy about it?
As for the old gentlemen in the Forbidden City, they don't know the existence of this priceless treasure.
Ye Tian only told them that a batch of outflowing Chinese antique works of art was taken into his bag and was going to be shipped back to China. He asked them to arrange pick-up at www.novelhall.com to ensure the safety of those antique works of art.
Hearing what he said, the old gentlemen were all very excited, and one by one they praised Ye Tian like a flower on the phone, and he was a little embarrassed to hear it!
Then I chatted with these few people for a while, after a while, Ye Tian hung up the phone and came out of the bedroom.
Coming to the living room again, before he sat down on the sofa, Cole knocked on the door suddenly and walked in.
"Steven, the guys who lived in the Paul VI hotel next door came over with two paintings and a sculpture. I hope you can help them identify them.
I arranged those guys in the conference room and searched each of them thoroughly. Those guys didn't carry weapons or wiretapping equipment! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately chuckled softly.
"Obviously, those guys can't wait. I really want to know the value of the antique art in their hands. Or, let's meet those guys and give them peace of mind!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Ye Tian continued talking with joy, and introduced the dilapidated statue of Athena to Betty and the others, and the creator of this statue, Phidias, the **** of classical sculpture.
