Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 3061 Shocking price

In the blink of an eye, it was a new day, and the sun was shining brightly.

Just after 8 o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian took David and many of his men out of the hotel, preparing to go to the Fasilidas castle complex to deal with the gold and silver treasures and antique relics in Solomon's treasure.

When the group of them walked out of the hotel, they immediately found out.

The entrance of this hotel has been surrounded by swarms of media reporters.

And outside the cordon not far away, there are still a large number of Ethiopians gathered, many of whom are devout Orthodox believers in white robes.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others come out, the media reporters guarding the entrance of the hotel immediately became agitated and began to ask questions loudly.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I'm a reporter from NBC TV. May I ask how you will deal with the treasures of Solomon found in the Church of Noah's Ark, whether to keep them in Ethiopia or take them to New York?"

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from the Jerusalem Post. The gold statues of the Three Kings of Israel are truly priceless treasures. Are you going to collect them yourself, or sell them to the Israeli government?"

Ye Tian did not respond to the questions from these media reporters.

He just waved at these media reporters, then boarded the bulletproof armored vehicle parked in front of the hotel, and walked away.

When the convoy left the hotel, Ye Tian and the others quickly found out.

Every street the convoy passed was packed with Ethiopians.

Among these Ethiopians, there are not only local citizens of Gondar, but also many people who came from other places overnight, and they are full of dust.

Without exception, these Ethiopians kept their eyes on the convoy.

Their eyes are very complicated, with worries, anger, and endless envy and jealousy.

Due to several previous attacks and even bloody fights, the Ethiopian government was fully prepared.

On the streets, there are three steps, one post and five steps and one sentry. They are full of heavily armed Ethiopian military police to maintain order.

It is precisely because of their existence and strong suppression that the crowd of Ethiopians who flocked did not make trouble.

Of course, countless raised middle fingers and curses are still necessary.

In a short time,

The convoy has already arrived at the gate of the Fasilidas castle complex.

Compared with the entrance of the hotel, the situation here is even more exaggerated.

There were more reporters gathered at the gates of the castles, twice as many as yesterday.

These guys guarded here all night, armed with long guns and short cannons, shooting at the gates of the Fasilidas castle complex and everyone who entered and exited the castle complex.

Outside the cordon drawn by the police, swarms of Ethiopians have completely blocked several nearby streets.

Looking at the situation outside, everyone in the team was speechless.

"Steven, this scene is a bit exaggerated. If all of Solomon's treasures are taken away by Israel, the Vatican, and the United States, once the Ethiopians outside the castle complex get the news, will they riot?"

David said worriedly.

Ye Tian looked at the situation outside, then shook his head slightly.

"I believe that the Israelis and the Vatican and the guys from the US are not going to do it so badly, they should leave some opportunities for the Ethiopians.

After all, this is Ethiopia, a sovereign and independent country. If they want to successfully transport the part of Solomon's treasure that they photographed, they have to rely on the Ethiopian government.

Especially in Israel, the cave located deep under the Noah's Ark Church will be one of the holy places in the minds of all Jews in the future, and they can't do everything right.

Ethiopia's harvest is actually not small, just this underground cave can continuously bring them a lot of income, and the antiques and cultural relics in the cave are also valuable! "

Hearing this, David couldn't help but nodded, somewhat relaxed.

While speaking, the convoy had stopped at the gate of the castle complex.

Everyone got out of the car immediately and walked towards the castle complex together.

As soon as Ye Tian and the others appeared, the media reporters at the entrance of the castle group started to ask questions loudly, one by one scrambling to be the first.

"Good morning, Steven, it is said that you will hold a small private auction in the Church of Noah's Ark to auction off this part of Solomon's treasure. Can we go in and interview this auction?"

"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from The New York Times. How much do you value the gold statue of the Three Kings of Israel? Can you tell us? Everyone is very interested!"

Same as before, Ye Tian did not respond to the questions from these media reporters.

He just waved at these guys, and walked straight into the Fasilidas castle complex.

Inside the castle complex, Joshua, Bishop Kent, the Minister of Culture of Ethiopia, the representative of the President, and the US ambassador to Ethiopia are waiting for Ye Tian and the others to arrive.

Seeing them walking into the castle group, these people immediately greeted them.

Except for the Ethiopian who was full of pain, everyone else was full of anticipation and excited.

After everyone met, it was natural to have some polite greetings.

Next, everyone laughed and chatted while walking towards Noah's Ark Church.

After a while, everyone came to the door of Noah's Ark Church.

At this time, more than a hundred white chairs had been placed on the lawn at the entrance of Noah's Ark Church.

These chairs are arranged in a fan, facing the door of Noah's Ark Church.

On the corridor at the entrance of the church, there is an auction table.

On the left and right sides of the auction stage, there is a long and sturdy table.

Ye Tian's small private auction will be held here soon.

When the auction officially starts, he will stand on the auction platform and auction off the part of Solomon's treasure that he just discovered.

The long tables on both sides of the auction stage are used to display the gold and silver treasures and antique relics in the treasure.

At this time, there are still dozens of minutes before the official start of this small private auction.

Apart from Joshua and Bishop Kent, as well as the Minister of Culture of Ethiopia, the rest of the guests who are eligible to participate in this private auction have not yet been allowed to enter the open-air auction venue.

However, they have all come to the Fasilidas castle complex, and this meeting is standing in the distance, looking over here.

Without exception, each of them was dressed in a suit and tied with excitement.

In the auction venue, only the employees and security personnel of the fearless exploration company are busy, and no one else is allowed to enter the venue for the time being.

When he came here, Ye Tian raised his hand to greet the familiar old friends around, and then began to check.

This auction venue is definitely not luxurious, and there is hardly any modern electronic display equipment, and there is no telephone bidding or online bidding.

However, because it is held in the ancient and magnificent Fasilidas castle complex and in the world-famous cultural heritage, it has a special flavor.

As for the level of this small private auction, it is definitely the top in the world, and it can be regarded as a unique existence.

May I ask, before this, was there any top auction that could auction off part of Solomon's treasure?

Not only the governments of the four countries participated in this small private auction, but also the top museums and collectors of these four countries, as well as the super rich and so on.

Ye Tian roughly inspected the venue, and then entered the interior of the church to check the gold and silver treasures, antiques and works of art that will be auctioned.

In the busyness, half an hour passed quickly.

The bidders who participated in this small private auction have all entered the open-air auction venue and received their bidding numbers.

They were sitting on those white chairs on the grass in front of the church, laughing and chatting, while staring at the auction table at the door of the church!

Although they seem to be very relaxed, everyone's eyes are full of excitement, and each one of them is also gearing up secretly, preparing to fight hard in the end, and strive to return with a full reward.

Soon, it was nine o'clock in the morning.

Ye Tian, ​​who disappeared for a while, came out of Noah's Ark Church.

Along with him, David and Joshua, as well as the Bishop of Kent and the Minister of Culture of Ethiopia and others.

When they came to the door of the church, Ye Tian went straight to the auction platform, while the rest stood on the corridor at the door of the church.

Everyone understood that this small private auction, which was bound to cause a sensation in the world, was about to begin.

Ye Tian, ​​who was standing behind the auction stage, quickly scanned the audience, and then said loudly with a smile:

"Good morning, gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to meet you here, and thank you very much for coming to my small private auction, and I hope that each of you will get what you want and return with a full reward!

The gold and silver treasures and antiques auctioned in today's small private auction are all from this part of Solomon's treasure hidden deep under the church of Noah's Ark, many of which are priceless.

Of course, the gold and silver treasures and antique relics that I want to auction today are not all of this Solomon’s treasure. I plan to collect some non-religious antique relics in the treasure for myself.

Many people here are very familiar with me, and they have participated in my small private auctions before, so they should know that every item I put up for auction is genuine, and each item has an auction reserve price.

During the auction, if the final price of a lot is lower than the auction reserve price, it can only be unsold. Therefore, if you see a lot you like, be sure to raise your placard enthusiastically so as not to miss it! "

Hearing this, those old friends who were familiar with Ye Tian at the scene rolled their eyes angrily.

"This bastard is still as greedy and cunning as before, no one can take advantage of him!"

"It's the damn auction reserve price again, don't even think about it, everyone will be slaughtered by that bastard Steven today!"

While everyone was discussing, Ye Tian continued to perform.

Next, he briefly introduced the process of discovering this part of Solomon's treasure, and what antiques and gold and silver treasures are contained in this Solomon's treasure.

During the period, Joshua, Bishop Kent, and the Minister of Culture of Ethiopia also stepped forward to speak.

They spoke highly of this joint exploration operation and affirmed the huge sensation caused by the discovery of this part of Solomon's treasure!

These are all official phrases, not nutritious, but indispensable!

After speaking, Joshua and the others walked down the steps and sat in a few seats in the first row.

Also sitting in the first row were the US ambassador to Ethiopia and the special envoy of the Ethiopian president.

As representatives of the Israeli government and the Vatican government, Joshua and the Bishop of Kent also received two bidding numbers and are preparing to participate in the auction.

Of course, they were just a gesture.

Most of the time, there are two groups of professionals who really participate in the bidding on behalf of the Israeli government and the Vatican government.

After Joshua and the others sat down in the audience, Ye Tian immediately signaled his staff to carry out the first lot, display it, and then put it on public auction.

In just a moment, Derek and the others walked out of the church carrying a black portable safe.

They put the safe on the long table on the left side of the auction stage, and then stepped aside.

Next, three lawyers, including David, stepped forward to check the seal.

After confirming that the seals were intact, they opened the three seals.

After they backed away, Ye Tian stepped forward, entered the password, and opened the black portable safe.

Following his movements, a dazzling golden statue immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

That was the first golden statue of King Saul to be cleared and transported to the ground.

The moment the golden statue of the three kings of Israel appeared, the scene immediately exploded.

The many bidders sitting in the audience jumped up from their seats as if they had been electrocuted, looking at this priceless treasure with excitement!

The eyes of these guys are extremely hot, and they are about to burn.

The eyeballs of many of them turned red in an instant, and they looked a little scary.

"My God! This is the golden statue of King Saul. He is the first king in the history of Israel. He has a very special and important status. There is no doubt that this is an absolutely priceless treasure!"

"Wow! The first lot is the golden statue of King Saul. Steven is still so amazing, he can shock the audience!"

Just as many bidders were discussing, Ye Tianqing's clear voice came out again.

"Gentlemen, now that you have recognized this golden statue, there is no need for me to introduce it, but I can assure you that this golden statue of King Saul is from Solomon's Temple.

Next, let's enter the auction stage. The starting price I set for this golden statue of King Saul is 600 million U.S. dollars. I hope everyone will actively bid for 600 million U.S. dollars. Which gentleman should bid?..."

Before the words fell, the scene was boiling again.

"Oh my god! The starting price was 600 million U.S. dollars. The bastard Steven is so crazy and greedy to the extreme!"

"Although the golden statue of King Saul is a priceless treasure, it is worth 600 million US dollars, isn't it too high?\

,"There was a lot of discussion at the scene, one after another.

Everyone was taken aback by Ye Tian's huge appetite!

Especially those Ethiopians, who have never seen such a battle, are all dumbfounded.

Just when they thought that no one would take advantage of this and raise their placards to ask for the price.

Joshua, who was sitting in the first row, raised his bidding number plate.

"Sixty million dollars, Steven"

As Joshua raised his placard to answer the price, there was another exclamation at the scene.

Everyone looked at Joshua, but no one raised their cards to compete with him.

Everyone present is very clear that the Israeli government is bound to obtain the golden statue of the Three Kings of Israel, and it is absolutely impossible to let it stand aside.

If anyone ends up competing with Joshua for this golden statue of King Saul, it is very likely to offend the Israeli government, and even offend all Jews.

Naturally, no one is willing to do such a thing, and it is definitely not worth the loss.

For this situation, Ye Tian had expected it.

He didn't delay the time, and immediately said loudly:

"Joshua should bid 600 million U.S. dollars, and the current price is 620 million U.S. dollars. Is there any gentleman who should bid? I hope everyone will not miss this opportunity and bid enthusiastically.

$620 million first time, second time, third time, ok, $600 million deal, the winning bidder is Joshua, this golden statue of King Saul belongs to Israel! "

With that said, Ye Tian rang the auction gavel.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound, the golden statue of King Saul was successfully sold!
