Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 468 No Simple Charity Auction
At around 1:30 in the afternoon, Ye Tian followed Matthew to the nearby Belmont High School.
In the auditorium of this high school, a charity auction will be held later, and Ye Tian and the others are here for this purpose.
Originally, Betty also wanted to participate in the auction, but was dragged by Logan to buy a sports car. This kid couldn't wait to own his own sports car, and couldn't wait any longer!
When the Paramount Predator drove into this famous Boston high school, it was already full of people, and the parking lot inside and outside the school was basically full of cars.
These people are not students of Belmont High School, but residents living nearby, alumni who graduated from this high school, and parents whose children have been or are currently studying in this high school!
Of course, there are some outsiders, but very few!
Both Betty and Logan graduated from this high school, so Matthew will participate in this charity auction, and he will come every year.
As in other places, as soon as the huge predator appeared here, it immediately attracted countless attentions and caught the attention of many people!
Especially many men, almost everyone can see envy in their eyes!
While everyone stared at the Paramount Predator dumbfounded, they also had a little ominous premonition in their hearts!
How did this New York bastard end up in Boston? How did it show up at Belmont High? I never heard that he is an alumnus who graduated from this high school!
He didn't come here to make trouble, did he? That would be a big deal! How can Belmont High School stand up to this guy's crazy toss!
Or is there top-notch antique art here? That's why this guy came here to hunt for treasure?
How is that possible? This is just a community charity auction, how could there be top-level antique artworks? Attract such a famous professional treasure hunter!
All of a sudden, many people were confused and couldn't understand Ye Tian's reason for coming.
However, everyone's worries quickly disappeared. Following the Paramount predators, two police cars also slowly drove into the campus of Belmont High School and stopped beside the predators.
Obviously, these policemen are following that bastard Steven, so nothing will happen today!
For the many gazes and the tumultuous discussions,
Ye Tian has long been accustomed to it, completely turning a blind eye!
But Matthew couldn't do this. He was sitting on pins and needles in the co-pilot of the Predator, feeling uncomfortable all over his body, and his face was also burning hot.
I really shouldn't let Steven drive the Predator! Too high-profile, too publicized! No matter where you go, you are the focus of everyone's attention. This feeling is really unbearable for ordinary people!
But it's too late to regret!
The Buick Boulevard has been driven away by Logan, and he can only sit in Ye Tian's Predator to participate in this charity auction.
After the car stopped, Matthew didn't get out of the car immediately, but started to introduce the auction.
"Steven, this is a community charity auction, jointly organized by the church, the community, and Belmont High School, once a year, on the second day of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Those who participated in this auction were mainly nearby residents, alumni who graduated from this high school, and parents whose children were or are currently studying here. Many people know each other and have a good relationship!
Some antique works of art and some household items that will be auctioned today are generally not high in value, ranging from tens of dollars to several thousand dollars, and the highest will not exceed ten thousand dollars.
These auction items were all voluntarily donated by everyone, and they were donated anonymously. The reason for this was to avoid comparisons, which would lose the original purpose of the charity auction.
During the auction, if you like the lot, you can put up a placard to bid and compete with others. This kind of competition is mostly symbolic, no one takes it seriously, let alone life and death!
This is a charitable donation in disguise. It is just borrowing the name of the auction, so that everyone can gain something while donating, and get a little psychological balance. This event can be held for a long time."
"I understand that this kind of auction is a very good way to make everyone involved feel refreshed. Those who can come up with this idea must have a long-term vision!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, expressing his appreciation.
Matthew nodded with a smile, and continued:
"The money raised from the auction will be divided into three pieces, one third will go to the church, which will be used for the repair and maintenance of the church, charity activities, etc., and the other third will go to the community and will also be used for public welfare activities.
The last third belongs to Belmont High School, which is used to improve the teaching environment, support students from difficult families, improve education and teaching standards, and also use it for public welfare activities.
The reason why I say this is to remind you, don’t be too serious later, even if you find a good antique artwork, this is not Sotheby’s, so you can’t treat this as a real auction! "
Obviously, Matthew was a little worried that Ye Tian would kill everyone here. If he really did that, today's charity auction will be a great scene!
This kind of worry is not without reason. Ye Tian is famous for his fierceness and strength in the auction field. No one who came here today is his opponent. I have to remind you!
"I know, don't worry, I may raise my placard and participate in the competition in this auction, but I won't be a rule breaker and bid wildly with others!
If you really find a valuable antique artwork, I will remind you to sell it, and what to do at that time is up to you to make the decision, I will only be a bystander! "
Ye Tian relieved Matthew's heart, and put the decision-making power in Matthew's hands.
"Seriously you dude! Isn't that a problem for me? But I'm also really looking forward to finding a nice vintage piece or two! Make them my collection.
I have been participating in this auction since I moved to Belmont Street. I have never missed it. It has been more than 20 years and I have donated tens of thousands of dollars. It should be rewarding for me! "
Matthew said excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"You will gain something today. As long as there are indeed good antique works of art here, they will definitely not escape my eyes!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, full of confidence.
"Okay! Let's go to the auditorium, the auction will start soon!"
After speaking, Matthew opened the door and got out of the car.
Ye Tian tidied up his clothes, concealed the gun holster under his arm, and then opened the car door to get out of the car.
Just like when he set off from New York yesterday, Ye Tian still couldn't leave his body with his gun.
There are two M9s and a few magazines under the armpits on both sides, a German tactical knife is tied on the calf, and an automatic rifle is placed in the predator car, not afraid of any challenges and accidents!
After getting off the car, Ye Tian first nodded and greeted the following policemen, then joined Matthew and walked towards the Belmont High School auditorium together.
Not far ahead, they stopped.
A fat white man in his fifties walked by and greeted Matthew very warmly.
"Matthew, happy Thanksgiving, we meet here again, maybe we will become competitors this year, are you ready to lose to me?"
"Happy Thanksgiving, you fat bastard! It's not a good thing to meet you, just let the horse come here, this time I won't lose to you again!"
Matthew laughed and cursed, bumping fists with the fat white man.
Obviously, the relationship between the two is very good, the kind that can make jokes at will.
"Hahaha, I'll just wait for your words! The result will be known as soon as the auction starts! I guess it will be like last year again, and you will become my defeat again!"
The fat man laughed and said, very proud.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at Ye Tian again, and asked Matthew:
"Matthew, is this Betty's boyfriend, the crazy New York billionaire? Introduce yourself"
"That's right, he is Steven, a very nice young man from China, indeed a new billionaire, he is not only Betty's boyfriend, but also Betty's fiancé!
They're engaged, and I'm throwing a big engagement party for them in a few days, and you'll be invited! You are welcome to attend, bring your family"
Matthew introduced it triumphantly, with eyes full of admiration.
"Ah! They're actually engaged! What a great news, congratulations! My idiot son has completely given up now, and I think he will be heartbroken!"
The fat man joked, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
No need to ask, this guy's so-called idiot son must be Betty's loyal suitor! He can only accept the fate of failure. As for whether he is heartbroken or not, that's none of Ye Tian's business!
Then, the fat man stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian, and introduced himself:
"Steven, nice to meet you, happy thanksgiving! My name is Fermi, an old classmate and friend of Matthew, you are a lucky guy, Betty is a good girl, cherish her!"
"Mr. Fermi, I am also very happy to meet you. I wish you a happy Thanksgiving. Please don't worry, I will cherish Betty, because I love her very much!"
Ye Tian shook hands with the other party, and said firmly.
"OK! Don't stand here, go to the auditorium, the auction is about to start!"
Matthew interjected, then turned and walked towards the auditorium.
Ye Tian and Fermi nodded and smiled at each other, and walked towards the auditorium together.
"Matthew, it seems that it is very difficult to win against you today! It's a bit too much for you to hire the top professional treasure hunter in the United States as an assistant!"
While walking forward, Fermi said jokingly, but there was no hint of frustration in his tone.
"I can't help it. Steven is Betty's fiancé. Of course he will help me. Just let your horse come here, you fat man. I will kill you today! I can also express my depression!"
Matthew said proudly, smiling very brightly.
On the road that followed, Matthew and Fermi met several acquaintances and friends one after another. They chatted for a while, and then walked into the auditorium where the auction was held.
This is an auditorium that can accommodate more than 500 people. It has a large area, and almost all the people have come. It is very noisy inside, and the ears are full of discussions and jokes.
After entering the door and standing still, Ye Tian immediately began to observe the situation in the auditorium condescendingly.
When his eyes swept over halfway, he suddenly saw a familiar face.
"How did Leo come here? Didn't he live in Miami, how could he appear in Boston?"
Ye Tian whispered in surprise, a little puzzled.
The Leo he mentioned is a Hispanic rich man and a very famous collector, who lives in Miami and has dealt with him during the autumn auction in New York before!
This person came to the United States after making a fortune, and has been living in Miami. Naturally, it is impossible to have something to do with Belmont High School, so Ye Tian was puzzled!
But Leo was not the only acquaintance at the scene, Ye Tian soon found another familiar face!
It's old friend Cook, owner of Golden Eagle Discovery in Los Angeles, and notorious professional treasure hunter.
At this moment, this guy was staring at Leo, his eyes were extremely bright, revealing endless greed.
There are two bodyguards standing beside him, and it can be seen from the baggy clothes that these two bodyguards are fully armed! Likely with a guy like MP5!
Neither Leo nor Cook is a fuel-efficient lamp! Not even good people! They actually appeared in such a community auction at the same time! It's really puzzling!
It seems that today's charity auction is not easy! There is a good show to watch!
Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckled.
