Treasure Hunt all over the World

When Ye Tian and the others arrived at Sotheby's Auction House, the auction was halfway through. A top-notch antique artwork sent by the Fearless Discovery Company had already been auctioned off, and the price was very good!

In the subsequent second half of the auction, the other two top-level antique works of art sent by the fearless exploration company were also successfully sold, and the transaction prices were much higher than the auction reserve price given by Ye Tian.

In particular, the finale lot, a surreal oil painting by the famous Spanish painter and master artist Dali, dropped the hammer at the highest transaction price of the day, drawing a successful conclusion to this top auction.

With the successful auction of these three top antique works of art, the fearless exploration company that sent them to the auction will soon have a huge sum of money in the bank account.

After the auction ended, Ye Tian and the others ate some lunch casually, and brought the seven or eight employees of the company who rushed over to enter the underground vault of Sotheby's Auction House.

Soon, the time came to around 1:30 noon.

Ye Tianzheng led people to count the antiques in the underground vault of Sotheby's Auction House to decide which antiques to bring back to Beijing and which to keep in New York.

At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly. It was a call from Jason.

When the phone was connected, Jason's voice came over immediately.

"Steven, our escort convoy has entered Manhattan and is heading down the city. The journey went smoothly and nothing happened."

Hearing the notification, Ye Tian immediately said:

"You go directly to the Bank of Mellon's headquarters building, and store the gold, silver, treasures and antiques that have just been shipped back to New York in the underground vault of Bank of Mellon. Anderson and Derek are waiting for you at Bank of Mellon."

"Okay, Steven, we're off to Bank Mellon"

Jason responded, then hung up the phone and ended the call.

Next, Ye Tian continued to select the top antique artworks to be brought back to Beijing, and asked his staff to pack these priceless treasures into boxes by category to ensure that each treasure was properly protected.

When we leave New York in two days, we will put these boxes directly on the armored escort vehicle, transport them to Kennedy Airport, and then they can be transported to Beijing by Air China chartered flight.

certainly,

Before these top-level antique works of art are shipped to Beijing, there are still two hurdles to pass.

One is the airport customs, and the other is the FBI art crime team that keeps an eye on Ye Tian.

Among these top antique artworks, there are no treasures listed on the list of restricted artworks, and the origin of each antique artwork is very clear without any doubt.

For that matter, the guys at the FBI's Art Crime Squad can't find a plausible excuse to cause trouble, unless they want to tear themselves apart.

In the busy schedule, time flies by.

It wasn't until the evening that Ye Tian and the others packed all the top-level antique artworks that were carefully selected and prepared to be shipped to Beijing, and then left Sotheby's auction house.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was another day.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian arrived at the company on time and handled some daily affairs in the office.

Near ten o'clock in the morning, he took Jason and several company employees, as well as David and his assistants, left the company under the protection of Mattis and the others, and drove straight to Columbia University.

When they arrived at Columbia University, the convoy from the Consulate General of Honduras in New York happened to arrive at the gate of Columbia University.

Today is the day when Intrepid Exploration Company, the government of Honduras, and Columbia University's School of History negotiated and signed an agreement to jointly explore the treasures of the Golden City.

After the previous talks with the Honduras government and Columbia University, Ye Tian basically reached an agreement with them. Today, after deliberating on the details, the joint exploration agreement can be signed.

In addition to the convoy of the Consulate General of Honduras, many media reporters who received the news also flocked to Columbia University for interviews.

In fact, the person who disclosed the news to these media reporters was the one arranged by Ye Tian.

The reason why he did this naturally has its deep meaning.

The treasure of the Golden City is hidden deep in the rainforest of Honduras. If you want to explore and unearth this huge treasure that has been passed down for a long time, you must cooperate with the Honduras government authorities.

Honduras is a country on the verge of bankruptcy. The domestic situation is turbulent and military coups are frequent. The credibility of the government authorities can be imagined.

If the joint exploration team didn't discover the treasure of the Golden City, let's forget about it. Everyone can live in harmony and live in peace with each other. It's just a waste of hard work.

Once the joint exploration team discovered the treasure of the Golden City, stimulated by the large amount of gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics in the treasure, these poor and crazy Hondurans would be red-eyed for it.

At that point, it should come as no surprise that red-eyed Hondurans will do anything.

They may even take the risk and turn their backs on the ground, tear up the joint exploration agreement, and try to monopolize the huge treasure of the Golden City.

Cooperating with such a person and such a government is tantamount to dancing with wolves. Does Ye Tian dare to be cautious?

In fact, he brought the School of History of Columbia University into the joint exploration team, and publicly signed the tripartite joint exploration agreement to the news media, all of which were a means of self-preservation.

His purpose is to make this joint exploration operation known to the whole world. In this way, even if the Hondurans want to turn their backs and monopolize the treasures of the Golden City, they will have many scruples.

Not only did they have to worry about Ye Tian's crazy revenge, but they also had to worry about the US government standing behind the fearless exploration company and Columbia University, as well as the huge pressure from the media and public opinion.

Faced with this situation, any reasonable person or government will think twice before making a decision, unless they are completely crazy.

As soon as Ye Tian's motorcade and the convoy of the Consulate General of Honduras in New York arrived at the gate of Columbia University, they were spotted by many media reporters who had been guarding here for a long time, and these guys immediately followed.

Next, such a scene happened on the campus of Columbia University.

A convoy of five full-size bulletproof SUVs and another with diplomatic license plates drove on the roads of Columbia University, heading straight for the building of the School of General Education.

Behind the two convoys, a large group of media reporters with long guns and short cannons in their hands ran wildly, chasing the two convoys closely, and kept raising their cameras to take pictures.

Where the convoy passed by, many students on the campus of Columbia University, as well as pedestrians and tourists coming and going, could not help but stop, looking at the scene curiously.

"Why did this guy Steven come to our school again? I heard that he came here yesterday, and went to the building of the School of General Education. I don't know what happened? Wherever this guy goes, something must happen!"

"I heard from others that Steven is going to cooperate with several professors from the School of History to jointly explore a famous treasure. What exactly is this treasure and where is it? I have no way of knowing!"

While people were discussing, they were also very curious, and they all stared at the Paramount Predator that Ye Tian was riding on.

Some of these curious guys simply followed the running media reporters and walked quickly to the general education building not far away. Everyone was full of expectations.

After a while, Ye Tian's motorcade arrived at the Columbia University School of General Education building and stopped at the edge of the steps in front of the building.

Immediately afterwards, the convoy of the Consulate General of Honduras in New York also arrived here and stopped.

The car door opened, Ye Tian and David got out of the car first and stood on the ground.

Not far behind, Hernando, the special envoy of the President of Honduras, and a Latino man in his fifties and sixties also got out of the car, and nodded to Ye Tian and the others to say hello.
