Chapter 1277 The Diamond Necklace That Triggered the Revolution
"Steven, can this Queen Mary's pearl diamond bow brooch in Brussels? The historical significance it contains is too great, it is definitely a top antique artwork!
Although our Royal Belgian Museum of Fine Arts does not collect such antique jewelry, I am sure that the Belgian History Museum must be very interested in it, and I can contact them for you."
Gatlink said vaguely, looking at Ye Tian with a gaze.
The same was true for Jurgen, who was standing next to him, his eyes were full of expectation, envy, and even jealousy.
However, Ye Tian shook his head firmly and rejected Gatlink's request.
"I'm very sorry, Gatlink, Jurgen, you don't have to think too much about it. This Queen Mary's pearl diamond bow brooch could not be left in Belgium!"
Hearing this, the two Belgian antique art appraisal experts immediately became anxious.
"Why is it impossible to stay in Belgium at all? If it is because of money, then you can discuss with the History Museum. With the valuation you just gave, the History Museum may also accept it!"
"That's right! Money is not a problem at all. Behind this top-notch jewelry is a history of the French Revolution, which is the most important thing!"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at Betty, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"Gentlemen, you may not know that Betty and I will get married soon. The most important purpose of our trip to Europe is to prepare for our wedding.
One of the tasks is to go to France to customize the top jewelry. The appearance of this pearl diamond bow brooch can be said to be just right and is a gift from God.
If Betty likes this piece of jewelry, then this brooch of Queen Mary's beloved will belong to Betty from now on, no matter how much it is worth, how important historic significance it has!”
"Wow! It turns out that because of this, it seems that we have no chance, it's such a pity!"
Gatlink said with emotion, full of regret.
Immediately afterwards, he congratulated Ye Tian and Betty and wished them a happy wedding.
Others like Jurgen, Joseph, and Zhang Ge and his wife congratulated Ye Tian and Betty.
After being kind, Ye Tian continued to say:
"If Betty hadn't left the idea of leaving this brooch, then I'm going to exchange it for a few famous Chinese antique artworks, which are in the Louvre and the Palace of Fontainebleau, respectively.
I'm sure that once the news of the release of this top jewellery spread, the old guys from the Louvre and Fontainebleau Palace will definitely contact me and try to get this brooch of Queen Mary.
In case we cannot reach an agreement and cannot exchange it as we wish, I am going to send this top-notch jewelry of historical significance to the New York autumn auction, so that all buyers interested in it can compete fairly.
In order to be polite, the super rich people in the upper class of the United States have always been flocking to antique artworks from the European royal family, not to mention that this is the beloved thing from the peerless queen of Queen Mary.
When you take a photo in New York, as long as you operate it properly and do a good job of publicity, this Queen Mary's pearl diamond bow brooch may even be sold at a sky-high price of more than 50 million euros, which is simply impossible in Europe!
The last choice is to sell it to you in the Belgian History Museum. This possibility basically does not exist, so I said you have no chance, so don’t think too much!”
After hearing this, what else can Gatlink and the others say? Nothing to say is useless!
"I can tell, Steven, you are just a greedy guy, exactly the same as the legendary one. This top jewelry must be out of our reach!"
"What a pity! Such a precious treasure has been hidden in Brussels for more than 200 years, but no one noticed it, but it ended up falling into the hands of you guys. How unfair God is!"
While Gatlink and Jurgen were deeply moved, they also looked at the Ghent and his son not far away, with their eyes full of sympathy and pity!
The same was true for everyone else at the scene. Everyone looked at the Ghent and his son with sympathy, and even felt that they were extremely pitiful!
As for Ye Tian, he was too lazy to pay attention to the antique liars. Perhaps this was their retribution.
At the same time, Mattis and Taylor, who were on the scene, were secretly on high alert.
Not only were they guarding against Ghent and his son, preventing them from suddenly losing their minds and attacking, they were also secretly guarding against the two Belgian policemen, who might not be reliable either!
After admiring the pearl diamond bow brooch for a while, everyone's eyes changed and they looked at the table leg in Ye Tian's hand again.
Judging from his actions of still holding the table legs and not putting them down, there was obviously something in the table legs, and maybe it was another priceless top jewelry.
"Steven, what else is there in that table leg? Take it out and let everyone open their eyes!"
Joseph said excitedly, staring at the table leg in Ye Tian's hand.
"Okay, I also want to see what treasures are hidden here? Maybe another huge surprise, if that's the case, it would be great!"
As he said that, Ye Tian stood upside down the table legs again and poured out a small bag wrapped in white satin from it.
The moment they saw this small white satin bag, everyone immediately understood that this was another top-notch jewelry that Queen Mary sent to Brussels but was secretly intercepted by her sister.
The reason why everyone made such a judgment was nothing more than that of the Bourbon dynasty logo on the white satin bag, which was exactly the same as the one I saw before.
After getting this white satin bag, Ye Tian did not open it immediately, but pretended to look at the secret lattice on the table legs, shook the table legs again, and then chuckled:
"There is nothing else in it, it's a bit regretful. I'm also looking forward to discovering the diamond necklace made by Louis XV to please his mistress, Madame Dubari.
According to legend, the famous diamond necklace is inlaid with 647 diamonds, weighing 2,800 carats, and is worth 2 million livres. It is known as the "unprecedented" level of luxury.
Although Louis XV customized the diamond necklace, he died too early and too suddenly, and he didn't have time to pay for it. After several twists and turns, the necklace finally fell into Queen Mary's hands.
If you could find that diamond necklace today, it would be perfect! It would definitely cause a huge sensation, but it is obvious that the unprecedented diamond necklace is not inside this table leg!”
As he said that, Ye Tian put the table leg in his right hand on the ground and prepared to dismantle the newly discovered small white satin bag.
"Steven, I have to say, you guy is so greedy that you actually want to find that famous diamond necklace. You are so greedy that you can swallow an elephant!
For the French, the famous diamond necklace that has caused countless storms is definitely one of the national treasures. Once it appears, the whole country will be shocked.
Because of the diamond necklace, Louis XV became famous for breaking his promise. Because of the diamond necklace, a cardinal was arrested and directly removed from office.
Also because of that diamond necklace, Queen Mary was completely confirmed to be accused of “missing the country”. It can be said that the diamond necklace was an important inducement of the French Revolution!
For the famous necklace incident, the famous French writer Dumas also specially created a historical novel, "The Queen's Necklace", which shows the importance of that diamond necklace!
Unfortunately, according to legend, the priceless diamond necklace was embezzled by the famous female liar Jenny, and was dispersed and sold separately on the black market, and never appeared again!”
Gatlink said angrily, but his eyes showed a little regret. Who wouldn't want to see the miracle reappear?
