As soon as Ye Tian and Betty entered the auction hall, a familiar voice came to their ears.
"Good morning, Steven, Betty"
Hearing this voice, Ye Tian and the others immediately turned their heads and looked to the right.
The person who greeted them was Professor Melissa from Columbia University, standing not far to the right, with Professor Kane and Professor Douglas on her left and right.
There is also an unknown white man! He is about sixty years old, has silver hair, and is elegant. He should be a high-level intellectual!
"Good morning Melissa, I didn't expect you to come too"
Betty greeted her warmly, and walked quickly to Melissa and hugged her college tutor, looking very excited.
Ye Tianze took a step forward and greeted the others with a smile.
"Good morning, Professor Kane, Professor Douglas, this gentleman should also be from Columbia University, right? Nice to meet you!"
"Good morning, Steven, let me introduce you. This is Brandi, the dean of the School of History at Columbia University and a famous historian!"
Professor Kane first greeted Ye Tian and then introduced the scholar next to him.
Afterwards, Ye Tian stepped forward and shook Brandy's hand, being polite and getting to know each other.
After a few brief greetings, everyone got down to business.
"Professor Brandi, Professor Kane, if I guess correctly, you should have come here for "General Sherman's March Notes". You look very determined!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
He knew the purpose of these big names from the School of History at Columbia University, and he was not surprised at all.
Except for Ye Tian himself and a few people around him, Professor Kane is the only expert scholar who has personally read "General Sherman's March Notes" and has authenticated this important historical document.
Although he only read a small part of the first part of the notes, he gained a lot. Based on this, he wrote several high-quality papers, which caused quite a stir in the American history circle.
He understands the importance of "General Sherman's March Notes" better than anyone else and understands it more deeply than anyone else! That is an important document that can rewrite part of the history of the American Civil War! Absolutely not to be left behind!
"Of course we are here for "General Sherman's March Notes", and you are unwilling to trade privately, so we have no choice but to come here and compete with others!
This marching notebook is so important. It means an unknown history during the Civil War, and it also means a series of heavyweight academic research results! "
Professor Kane said with a wry smile, his tone full of regret and a hint of resentment.
As early as a few months ago, he mentioned to Ye Tian that the Columbia University School of History was interested in acquiring this important historical document, and the price offered was quite attractive.
However, Ye Tian refused without hesitation and told them that if they were really interested, then prepare to compete fairly with others at the auction. There was no other way.
Because of this, they appear here with a hint of resentment in their tone. That is normal, everyone has emotions!
"Of course I know the importance of "General Sherman's March Notes", which is one of the reasons why I put it up for auction. Everyone competes fairly, and the highest bidder will win!
I am a professional treasure hunter, and this historical document is my product. Since we are doing business, we must follow the principles of doing business, so that we can last long!
This is a fair competition. If you are well prepared, you may win. As a friend, I wish you will get what you want and win this important historical document! "
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, his tone decisive and without any guilt.
"We also hope to get what we want, but reality tells us that this possibility is not high! If we want to win this notebook, we will face many difficulties, and countless difficulties and obstacles are waiting for us.
Look over there, those old guys in the middle of the second row are buyers from the Harvard School of History and the Harvard Museum. Harvard is the richest university in the world, and they never lack dollars in their pockets.
Also in the second row, those guys in military uniforms on the left are from West Point Military Academy. Sherman is known as the military **** of West Point Military Academy. How could those guys miss his marching notes!
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Museum of the United States, Yale University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford University, etc. have all sent people here, and everyone has basically the same goal!
Even your alma mater, New York University, actually came to join in the fun, ambitiously preparing to participate in this fight and defeat other opponents to win "General Sherman's March Notes".
I just don’t understand. The history department has almost no presence at NYU. Why are they here to cause trouble? Could it be that there is too much money to burn? Or are they here to support you, an alumnus? "
As he spoke, Professor Kane pointed at the people in the auction hall with a very solemn expression.
Following the direction of his finger, Ye Tian saw many old acquaintances from major museums, as well as many famous experts and scholars whom he had seen on TV.
These guys all look confident and determined to win, and their expressions are quite exciting.
From this, you can imagine what kind of scene will be seen in this auction hall when "General Sherman's March Notes" is officially released!
The quotations from many buyers will be heard throughout the venue, and the bidding numbers in their hands will rise and fall. The competition will be fierce, and the atmosphere will be extremely heated!
And this is undoubtedly the most touching and touching picture that Ye Tian wants to see.
There is no doubt that this is another extremely beautiful day, and the US dollar can be swept wildly!
"Hahaha, this is such an unexpected surprise! The history department of New York University is also here! I have to go over and say hello to them later, it's so embarrassing!
The presence of the History Department of New York University is indeed very low, but it cannot stop them from being motivated! Maybe this is the opportunity for them to rise! Of course you can’t miss it”
Ye Tian said jokingly, in a very relaxed state, while looking at the alumni of New York University.
Hearing this, everyone from the Columbia University School of History rolled their eyes with disdain on their faces.
Obviously, they did not take the NYU History Department seriously at all, let alone regard it as a comparable opponent!
After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian changed the topic.
"Professor Douglas, have you confirmed the list of researchers going to Cocos Island? After we sign a tripartite joint exploration agreement with the Costa Rican government in mid-May, the preliminary work will begin!"
Not long after returning from Las Vegas, the previously hesitant Costa Rican government finally gave a positive answer.
They are willing to sign a three-party joint exploration agreement with Ye Tian's Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company and the Columbia University School of History to jointly explore the Lima treasure buried on Cocos Island.
For the Costa Rican government, the treasures of Lima were too tempting to resist!
Especially when they saw the Caribbean shipwreck treasures in Ye Tian's hands, they were even more unable to restrain their desire. Those dazzling gold and silver treasures and antique artworks almost blinded their eyes!
However, the joint exploration agreement was not signed immediately. Instead, it was scheduled to be signed publicly in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, on May 15th!
Costa Rica is the same size as a country, so there must be some procedures to follow, unlike Ye Tian’s Brave and Fearless Exploration Company, which can be pulled out to hunt for treasure at any time.
Even the School of History at Columbia University still has a lot of work to do, and identifying researchers to participate in joint exploration is one of the tasks, so Ye Tiancai asked.
“It’s almost done. Our School of History’s research team participating in the joint exploration has a total of eight people, led by me, and several students under me, three with PhDs and two with master’s degrees.
In addition, there is a professor who studies Latin American history and a doctor under him, who will also participate in the exploratory operation. The only uncertainty now is the candidate for this doctor!
When the tripartite joint exploration agreement is signed on May 15th, the list of researchers will definitely be finalized and the preliminary preparations will not be affected. I can guarantee this! "
Douglas introduced the situation in a low voice and seemed very excited.
That is the treasure of Lima! One of the most famous pirate treasures in human history is about to be unveiled in front of you. Can you not be excited?
As for whether Ye Tian can find the Lima treasure, Professor Douglas is still very confident!
The guy in front of me is a miracle worker. It seems that there is nothing he can't do. God seems to always stand with him, and this time will definitely be no exception!
"That's good. As long as the joint exploration agreement is signed, the next thing will be smooth sailing. I'm sure we will be able to find the Lima treasure and shock the whole world!"
Ye Tian chuckled and whispered, full of confidence.
While talking, it was only a few minutes before the auction started. There were more and more people in the auction hall, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
After chatting for a few more words, Ye Tian said goodbye and left, taking Betty to the front of the auction hall. The seats reserved for them by Sotheby's were in the first row, which was the best seat in the audience.
The group from Columbia University also walked to their seats, which were on the right side of the third row, not bad!
