After admiring the several pieces of jewelry on the coffee table, everyone's attention immediately shifted and they all turned to look at the two rusty old safes in the center of the living room.
"Steven, how do you open these two bulky guys? Do you do it yourself and use a stethoscope to open the password? Or do we do it and cut directly with gas welding?"
Kenny asked excitedly, already gearing up and eager to try.
"Don't be ridiculous! This thing has been corroded by sea water for more than thirty years. I don't know how rusty it is inside. The transmission system must have been scrapped long ago. Even if you know the password, you can't open it.
Just cut it directly, that saves trouble, but the cutting place cannot be here, go to the stern, pay attention to safety, and put more things on it, the safe must be very dirty, don't pollute the deck! "
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head. He raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the stern of the yacht.
"You're right, let's cut it directly. Let's start. I really want to see what is stored in these two safes!"
With that said, Kenny and the others stood up and began to move the safe to the stern of the ship. Everyone was in high spirits! Full of energy!
In the blink of an eye, these two heavy safes were moved out of the living room and onto the deck of the stern leisure area, ready to start cutting!
Ye Tian and Matisse did not get up and follow him, but stayed in the living room waiting for the results.
The rest of the people followed, everyone wanted to witness the two safes being opened and see what was inside!
As he stood up and walked towards the stern of the ship, Orlando asked curiously:
"Raymond, what did Kenny say just now about using a stethoscope to listen to the password to open the safe? Could it be that Steven can really use a stethoscope to open the safe? It's impossible, right? This is too fantasy!"
“You heard it right, you use a stethoscope to listen to the password to open the safe. It does sound very fantasy and a bit unbelievable, but this is a fact that we have witnessed with our own eyes, there is no doubt!
And Steven used the stethoscope to open the safe extremely quickly. He opened a firmly locked safe almost in the blink of an eye, without any effort!
When we first saw this scene, everyone was shocked and stunned. The scene was absolutely breathtaking. So far, I have only seen Steven do this, and the others have never even heard of it!
This is Steven's unique skill, that's why Kenny said that. In my opinion, even if Steven is given a piece of celery, he can use a celery bucket to open the safe. Everything is possible! "
Raymond smiled and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
"Ah! How is this possible? If you use a piece of celery to open the safe, wouldn't that be a snitch! And he is the most awesome snitch!"
Johnny, who was walking in front, turned around and exclaimed, with an incredible expression on his face and a bit of fear deep in his eyes.
“Hahaha, yes, it’s a snitch! This description is very appropriate!”
Mattis, who was still sitting on the sofa, said with a smile, and turned to look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian could only helplessly shake his head and smile bitterly. This name is not very pleasant!
While laughing and chatting, everyone walked out of the living room and came to the stern leisure area.
Afterwards, Miller and the others began to get busy, and it didn't take long for them to be ready to cut the safe.
Immediately afterwards, a bright light shone in the leisure area at the stern of the ship, and the sound of high temperature burning metal was also heard.
"Hereby——!"
About ten minutes later, the first safe was successfully cut open, and there was a burst of cheers from the stern.
Soon, those cheers turned into sighs of disappointment.
From the changes in everyone's voices and emotions, Ye Tian immediately knew that the first thing to be cut open was the safe found in the captain's cabin.
There are very few things in that safe, it’s clear at a glance!
Inside were a scrapped pistol and several magazines, tens of thousands of dollars that were also scrapped, two small jewelry boxes, and some documents that were damaged by sea water.
After seeing this, everyone will inevitably be disappointed!
After a while, the strong light in the stern leisure area reappeared, extremely dazzling!
The second safe has been moved onto the mat and cutting has begun.
About ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and cheers came again, and at the same time, there were also the voices of Miller and others talking.
"Hey! There is actually a jewelry box in this safe, and it is so big. I don't know what kind of jewelry is in it, or there is nothing in it."
“You might get a big surprise this time. This is Harry Winston’s jewelry box, one of the super jewelry brands, world-renowned for its diamond cutting and inlay craftsmanship!
Although this jewelry box has been eroded by the sea and has lost its beauty, its exquisiteness and luxury can still be seen vaguely. From this, it can be seen that the jewelry stored inside must be valuable! "
It was Johnny who said this, very confident!
As a Hollywood superstar, he is naturally familiar with top jewelry brands and his taste is quite extraordinary!
"Wow! If that's true, that would be great! Let's take these jewelry boxes back to the living room and open them one by one to see if we can find any surprises!"
After speaking, Miller and the others immediately began to clean up the jewelry boxes.
After rinsing, they immediately walked towards the living room with several jewelry boxes and other items taken out of the safe.
Soon, everyone entered the living room and took their seats. The things taken from the safe were placed on the coffee table, right in front of everyone.
Two Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry boxes, both small in size, a pistol that was severely rusted and turned into scrap metal, and tens of thousands of completely scrapped US dollars, all of which came from the safe found in the captain's cabin.
As for the documents stored in the safe, they have no value at all. Miller and the others did not take them over. They will return to the sea together with the cut safe later!
In addition to these, there is a jewelry box on the coffee table, from the top jewelry brand Harry Winston.
This jewelry box is not small, about 30*40, and is very exquisitely made. It is made of black walnut wood, inlaid with gold edges, and has beautiful patterns carved on the surface.
In addition, there are two women's bags, from the top luxury Hermès, but the style has long been outdated and completely scrapped, with no value.
After everyone sat down, everyone immediately looked at the jewelry boxes in front of them, focusing on Harry Winston's jewelry box. Everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Steven, you and Matisse discovered this Peruvian cargo ship. It's up to you to open these jewelry boxes and see what's inside"
Kenny suggested, and everyone else nodded, with no different opinions.
Ye Tian did not refuse, he immediately smiled and nodded and said:
"Okay! This pistol and tens of thousands of dollars have been completely scrapped and have no value at all. Let's put them back in the safe later and throw them directly into the sea!
The same goes for Hermès women's bags. Check to see if there is anything inside, and then throw them into the sea. The bottom of the sea is their destination. Hundreds of years later, these items may become valuable antiques! "
"Okay! But it's hard to turn these things into antiques. They were relatively well preserved in the sealed environment of the safe until we discovered them.
Now that the safe has been cut open, it may not take long for them to be digested and decomposed by marine life. Apart from the pistol and the safe itself, there is probably nothing left! "
Miller nodded and said with a smile.
"Then it has nothing to do with us! Now open these jewelry boxes, starting with this Van Cleef & Arpels. I hope there will be surprising discoveries!"
With that said, Ye Tian picked up a Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry box and opened it casually.
The moment the jewelry box was opened, a strange-shaped diamond ring immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes, blooming with brilliant light!
This is a finger ring, an original ring created by Van Cleef & Arpels, known as the flower between the fingers!
At the top of the ring are two tiny butterflies inlaid with diamonds and pink sapphires, ready to fly! One butterfly is silver-white and the other is pink. The shape is very beautiful and vivid!
The ring setting is set with diamonds and pink sapphires, made of rose gold and white gold respectively. It is noble but not superficial, very elegant!
The ring ring is made of platinum, with rounded, simple and smooth lines, giving people a white and flawless feeling!
The only regret is that the two white pearls inlaid on the ring setting, which are regarded as the bodies of butterflies, have basically lost their luster and become a little yellow and dark!
But this can all be repaired, just return the ring to Van Cleef & Arpels and exchange it for two white pearls.
Afterwards, clean it and the ring on your finger will regain its most beautiful shine in no time!
Based on the size of the diamond and pink sapphire, the value of this ring is not very high! The diamonds and pink sapphire particles inlaid on it are very small and not worth much!
As for rose gold and platinum, they don’t have much value!
But the preciousness of this ring lies in the ingenious design, the exquisite diamond inlay technology, and the halo effect of the Van Cleef & Arpels brand!
In the field of jewelry, Van Cleef & Arpels is as famous as Harry Winston. It is equivalent to Patek Philippe in watches. Its status is still above famous jewelry brands such as Cartier and Tiffany. It can be said to be the top luxury product!
The moment I opened the jewelry box, there was a burst of admiration in the living room.
"Wow! This thing is so beautiful, the design is so unique, I love this piece of jewelry!"
"Me too, but who knows what this is? It looks like a ring, but it is separated at the top. I have never seen jewelry with this shape before. It's eye-opening!"
Although they were full of admiration, Kenny and the others could not recognize the purpose of the jewelry in front of them, nor did they understand its name.
Only Ye Tian, a senior professional treasure hunter, and two Hollywood stars at the scene knew what it was and understood its value.
After a short pause, Orlando began to answer questions for everyone.
“This is a Van Cleef & Arpels finger ring. It is also a type of ring. It is a unique ring of Van Cleef & Arpels, a top brand. It is very beautiful and is known as the flower between the fingers!
I really didn’t expect to see an inter-finger ring here, and it was a work by Van Cleef & Arpels decades ago. It can be said to be quite rare. I am sure that this inter-finger ring is definitely worth a lot of money! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded.
"Orlando is right. In the antique market, there are very few finger rings that represent Van Cleef & Arpels' unique creativity, and even fewer that are decades old! And they are in such excellent condition!
The market value of the ring in front of you should be around 120,000 US dollars. If it is sent to a large-scale auction and a little bit of hype is given, it is not impossible for the price to double! "
Hearing these words, there was a burst of admiration in the living room again.
