Ye Tian's voice still echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone else was trembling about it!

"After talking about the collection of calligraphy and paintings, let's talk about the collection of ancient jades. Among the numerous collections of ancient jades in Jimei Museum, I have a total of two treasures!

The first piece of ancient jade is the white jade tiger from the Western Han Dynasty in China. It is a typical work of the eight swords of the Han Dynasty and one of the best representatives of the jade culture of the Western Han Dynasty!

Another piece of ancient jade is the jade bi from the Warring States Period. Unfortunately, it is not the famous Heshi Bi. If it is the Heshi Bi, it would be perfect!”

Hearing his words, several French antique art appraisal experts who had studied Chinese jade culture were so angry that they almost passed away!

Heshi Bi? You bastard really dare to think about it!

If we had the Heshi Bi, you bastard exchanged it with Napoleon's crown, don't even think about it!

Ye Tian glanced at the antique art appraisal experts and continued:

"Finally, let's talk about the exquisite porcelain that made me so moved. Since you are only willing to take out twenty Chinese antique artworks to exchange, my choice is much smaller!

I chose three pieces of Chinese antique porcelain in total. The first is the Ge kiln Cong-style bottle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the second is the Ru kiln plum bottle of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the third is the Yuan blue and white general jar with the three etiquette patterns in Taoyuan!

These are the twenty Chinese antique artworks I have chosen to exchange for those jewelry by Queen Mary. Of course, whether the transaction is successful or not depends on the result of our trip to Fontainebleau Palace!”

After saying that, Ye Tian looked at Martinez and the others with a smile, waiting for them to react.

Without a moment of hesitation, as soon as his voice fell, Florent said loudly in anger:

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Steven, you are taking advantage of the situation and you are so greedy that we will never accept this exchange plan!

The twenty Chinese antique artworks you have chosen are each of our Jimei Museum’s collections, each of which is priceless, and also includes the treasures of our museum!

Although Queen Mary's jewelry is precious and has great historical significance, it is impossible to exchange so many priceless Chinese antique artworks. You are delusional!

Not only Florent, but all the other Frenchmen shook their heads firmly and stared at Ye Tian angrily, not accepting the choice he made at all.

Ye Tian glanced at these French guys, then said with a leisurely smile:

"Gentlemen, don't be impatient! Don't be angry in a hurry. I have determined the exchange target. As for whether to accept it, the decision is in your hands, and I have no right to interfere!

Even if you don’t accept it, it doesn’t matter, there’s no friendship between buying and selling! There is no need to destroy our friendship because of this art deal and make us tense!

If I remember correctly, when I first met Antwerp, I made it very clear that this art transaction must be based on the market value of the traded goods!

Only in this way can the transaction be considered fair, both parties can get what they need, and no one suffers. Later, when Paris met again, I reiterated this trading principle, is that right?"

Hearing this, Martinez and the others couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Ye Tian's statement!

They could not deny this at all, nor did they need to deny it. After all, the initiative in transactions is always in the hands of Ye Tian, ​​and they have been led by the nose!

"Yes, Steven, we admit that transactions must be based on the market value of related antique artworks, so that they are fair!"

Martinez nodded and responded with a bitter expression.

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then smiled and said:

"Since you admit this, that's great. Next, let's talk about the market value of Queen Mary's three pieces of jewelry and the twenty pieces of Chinese antique artwork, to see if they match each other!

Let’s first talk about Queen Mary’s platinum diamond bow brooch. Because of its status and fame in French history and its own value, I valued the platinum diamond bow brooch for 200 million euros!

This is the lowest value of the three jewelry pieces. What I want to talk about next is the famous pearl diamond bow brooch. Everyone must be very clear about the status of that jewelry in French history!

I valued the pearl diamond bow brooch between 30 million and 40 million euros, only low or high. If I brought that piece of jewelry back to New York, I would have no problem with the sky-high price of 50 million euros!

The last thing to be mentioned is the famous diamond necklace full of legend, closely related to the French Revolution, and sent Queen Mary to the guillotine. Every Frenchman knows that diamond necklace very well!

The famous diamond necklace was inlaid with 647 diamonds and weighed 2,800 carats. During the period of Louis XV, it was worth two million liver, claiming to have reached the level of luxury of "unprecedented".

In fact, the diamond necklace was indeed extremely luxurious. When I saw it for the first time, my eyes were almost blinded by the dazzling light emitted by the diamond necklace, and the same was true for everyone present at that time!

Not only is the diamond necklace extremely luxurious, but it has extremely important historical significance. It is a veritable French national treasure, so I cannot give a specific valuation because it is simply a priceless treasure!

But for this art transaction, I still have to value the famous diamond necklace so that the transaction can proceed smoothly, even if the valuation I gave does not fully reflect the value of the diamond necklace!

Based on my understanding of the current antique art market and the antique jewelry market, I valued the diamond necklace 700 million to 800 million euros, which is no less than the masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo!

If it is sent to New York for photography, with its importance and great popularity in history, coupled with the fanatical pursuit of European royal jewelry by the super rich Americans, it is not impossible to sell a sky-high price of one billion euros!

For France, the famous diamond necklace is equivalent to the mountain of light in France, and is the most dazzling pearl in the crown. Its value and status are comparable to the diamonds of the Regent on Louis XV!”

Martinez and the others couldn't help but nodded again, obviously agreeing with Ye Tian's evaluation of the three top jewelry and the valuation given!

At the same time, each of them showed a bitter smile on their faces because they knew what Ye Tian was going to say next!

After a moment of pause, Ye Tian continued to say:

"After talking about the three top jewelry by Queen Mary, let's talk about the twenty Chinese antique artworks I selected to see how valuable they are!

Although it has caused a craze for collecting Chinese antique art in recent years, it has to be admitted that compared with Western antique art, the market price of Chinese antique art is still very low!

Looking at the international antique art auction market, the transaction price of Chinese antique art is not even more than US$100 million, and even fewer than US$50 million.

Western antique artworks are different. There are many top artworks with over 100 million US dollars, and more are the ones with tens of millions of dollars. A lot of them just flow out of my hands!

Specifically for Chinese bronzes, due to the domestic cultural relics policy in China, the purchase, sale and circulation of bronzes is prohibited, which makes the price of bronzes much lower, and it is as high as 20 million to 30 million US dollars!

The situation of the Buddhist paintings in Dunhuang is basically the same as bronzes. Although they have extremely high artistic and historical and cultural value, the antique art market does not recognize it!

Even the calligraphy and paintings of famous Chinese masters of all dynasties, ancient Chinese jades, and the exquisite porcelains that are highly recognized in the antique art market are worth less than 50 million US dollars!

Next, there is a simple math problem of addition and subtraction. Queen Mary's three top jewelry has a combined market value of nearly one billion euros, or even more than one billion euros!

The twenty Chinese antique artworks I selected have combined the market value of their 20 pieces, which is still far from one billion euros. It is hard to say whether they can reach five hundred million euros!

By comparing the two, do you still think this art deal is at a loss? To be honest, in terms of market value, the person who really suffers is me, not you!”

Martinez and the others were completely stunned and could not think of how to refute it for a moment. It seemed that they were the ones who took advantage of it, and there was no reason to oppose this art deal!

However, they all have a very awkward feeling, and always feel something is wrong!
