When he saw the last large suitcase with a sports note on it, Ye Tian immediately made a decision.
Take these sports items and make them your own toys!
In the box is a complete set of scuba diving equipment, except for the oxygen tank.
Breathing regulators, buoyancy regulators, diving instruments, residual pressure gauges, depth gauges, compasses, and diving calculators are all available.
There are also several auxiliary equipment, such as diving suits, gloves, diving knives, decompression tables, underwater cameras, equipment bags, buoyancy bags, etc.
And after careful observation by Ye Tian, all the equipment was newly purchased, had not been used a few times, and had no problems, just like new.
He is a diplomat, he is an avid diving enthusiast, he is very well equipped!
But then he thought, this guy is from Costa Rica, and he worked in Los Angeles before. This is a famous diving destination, so it is not surprising to have this set of equipment!
The value of this complete set of diving equipment is not low, it is definitely worth selling!
Next is the value assessment.
Based on the apparent value of these sports goods, Ye Tian and Jason quickly set a price limit of US$18,000.
The upper limit in Ye Tian’s mind is even higher, around US$35,000!
He was very convinced that the quotation limit must be the highest in the game and unrivaled.
Then they prepared to leave and look at the remaining sealed boxes.
At this moment, White and several senior treasure diggers came to the sports goods side.
Seeing that Ye Tian had just finished checking, White immediately asked:
"Steven, are you interested in these sports goods? Are you ready to make a move?"
Ye Tian smiled and said nonsense:
"You may not know that I am the Chinese Tiger Woods. I love golf and have a very high level of golf. Of course, I am not as crazy about **** as Woods! I really want to get these sports goods!"
"Hahaha"
The scene suddenly burst into laughter.
We are very convinced that you are a conspirator and murderer among the Chinese! But say you are a golf expert? forget it! Even if you kill us, you won’t believe it! Don't ruin this noble sport!
White and the others laughed and complained wildly.
“Shameless! Stinky gangster!”
Xu Lin and Fang Ning stamped their feet and cursed secretly. The two beauties were blushing like blood and were almost dying of embarrassment.
To Ye Tian, they could only express their helplessness.
No way! The **** in front lived too freely and on his own, and never seemed to consider other people's opinions.
After a few words, Ye Tian took everyone away and headed towards the area where the grocery storage boxes were placed.
His first target is the storage box containing nineteenth-century antiques.
What the **** is this? Since it is not of much value, why would the diplomat collect it? And brought it to New York!
Faced with these sealed and light-proof gray storage boxes, Jason had no clue at all and could only watch from the side.
The same goes for the two beauties. They stood aside and looked at Ye Tian curiously to see how he hunted for treasure.
As he walked to the target storage box, Ye Tian immediately turned on X-ray without any hesitation.
The next second, the situation in the box immediately appeared clearly in his eyes, and no one was missed.
The red-glow antique is a hand-drawn map embedded in a photo frame. To be precise, it is a pirate treasure map from the 1820s.
Seeing this, Ye Tian immediately understood why this map had no halo.
What artistic value can a crude treasure map made by pirates have?
Although this picture has no artistic value at all, Ye Tian felt ecstatic in his heart and almost cheered.
Based on the dazzling red light, he was very sure that this was definitely a real treasure map, indeed from that era when pirates were rampant.
Pirate treasure!
Just hearing these few words is enough to make most people's adrenaline rush! Heartbeat!
Gold, jewelry, antiques, diamonds,..., every word is so dazzling and full of endless temptation.
As a professional treasure hunter, Ye Tian was naturally even more excited when he saw the pirate treasure map, and even went crazy for it!
Conquer the sea and discover pirate treasures! This is definitely every treasure hunter’s dream, and Ye Tian is no exception!
But the little sense left in his brain told him that it was not the time to celebrate yet! There are hundreds of pairs of eyes around.
Only when you truly own this treasure map can you cheer, celebrate, and even go hunting for treasure with confidence!
After forcibly suppressing his excitement, Ye Tian immediately began to check the details of the treasure map.
After he scanned the treasure map carefully, he felt helpless and his excitement began to fade away quickly, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
All these changes are due to a few words on the treasure map.
"Costa Rica, Cocos Island, Augus Gisler,..."
They are enough to explain everything. This is a famous treasure map, and it is undoubtedly true!
The treasure location is Cocos Island, a small island in the Pacific Ocean in Costa Rica, with only 24 square kilometers. Although it is small, it is famous for its pirate treasures.
Cocos Island also has another name, better known to the world as Treasure Island!
Since the 16th century, this place has been a transit point and rest stop for pirates, welcoming all the famous pirates who traveled across the Pacific coast of the Americas.
These pirates loaded, unloaded and buried the looted treasures here, leaving behind countless legends about the treasures, adding a lot of mystery to this unknown island.
Three famous pirates in history, the British Edward Davis, the Portuguese Captain Benito Bonito, and the Scottish pirate Captain William Thompson, all buried treasures here.
In addition, some famous pirates also buried their loot here.
According to legend, there are at least six huge pirate treasures here.
The most famous among them, and the one clearly recorded in historical data, is the Lima Treasure!
The Lima Treasure is the largest treasure plundered by the Spaniards in South America in the early 19th century, including gold and silver bricks, countless gems, gold candlesticks, gold plates, a life-size golden statue of the Virgin, and more.
When the South American liberation movement was in full swing, the Spanish governor felt that the situation was critical and tried to transport these treasures back to Spain.
But Captain Thompson, the man he entrusted with transporting the treasure, took advantage of his wealth and slaughtered all the passengers at sea, including the poor Spanish governor.
Subsequently, Thompson sailed the ship to Cocos Island and buried the amazing treasure there, never to be seen again by the world.
Unlike other nihilistic pirate treasure legends, the pirate treasures of Cocos Island have been proven to exist and are numerous!
There are many treasure hunters who have made a fortune on Cocos Island. The one who has made the biggest fortune is Keating, a friend of Captain Thompson. He brought back a treasure worth up to 500 million francs from Cocos Island.
Although this is already a huge amount of wealth, compared to the total amount of treasures on Cocos Island, it is only a drop in the ocean!
More, more mouth-watering, and even crazy treasures are still buried on Cocos Island or in the waters surrounding it.
August Giesler is a treasure hunter, and he is very famous. He lived on Cocos Island for seventeen years, where he went crazy for treasure hunting!
He even became the governor of Cocos Island in Costa Rica for a time, fully controlling the entire island.
But unfortunately, he was the most unlucky treasure hunter. In seventeen years, he only found 33 Spanish gold coins.
Except for proving that there is indeed a pirate treasure, he can say that he has found nothing!
What Ye Tian saw in his eyes at this time was Gisler's treasure map.
Since he left Cocos Island and settled in New York, this treasure map has become very famous, known to many people, and has countless copies.
In the following years, countless people boarded Cocos Island with copies of this treasure map, trying to obtain pirate treasures and become rich overnight!
But the result was the same as Gisler's, everyone returned home defeated, or even died at sea.
It’s not that nothing was found. The countless treasure hunters who came one after another at least proved that Gisler’s treasure map was a joke!
Relying on it to find pirate treasures is a fantasy!
When the treasure map proved useless, it lost its value, and then disappeared, existing only in treasure legends, and copies were widely circulated.
What puzzled Ye Tian was why the original treasure map appeared in Los Angeles? It became the Costa Rican diplomat's private collection.
Is he planning to hunt for treasure according to the treasure map? Or is it just to commemorate a piece of history of your country?
Judging from the complete set of diving equipment, this diplomat may be looking for pirate treasures. I wonder if he has taken action?
Facing this famous but useless treasure map, Ye Tian had no choice but to do so.
And there was another reason that made him helpless.
The Costa Rican government closed Cocos Island in 1978 on the grounds of protecting the ecological environment, and strictly prohibited anyone from digging on the island.
Since then, Cocos Island has become a 'mirage' that is out of reach in the minds of treasure hunters. People can only look at the island with treasure hunting maps and sigh.
So, even if this treasure map is true and can be used to discover pirate treasures, it is useless!
In a few seconds, Ye Tian's mood went up and down, with both sadness and joy!
Soon, he completely put aside his feelings of disappointment, stopped thinking about the extremely tempting pirate treasure, and began to look at the rest of the items in the storage box.
There are still surprises here!
Then he saw a set of beautiful wrapped vases with three layers of light halo, which had a certain artistic value.
These are Swarovski crystal vases, a total of four, with different styles and styles. They are all very beautiful and dazzling. They are modern home luxuries and are absolutely valuable.
Immediately afterwards, he shifted his attention to a medium-sized storage box next to him.
It is still a luxury product. It is an unpacked and tightly wrapped five table lamps. The famous Tiffany stained glass table lamps are very dazzling.
A few table lamps are not antiques. They also have about three layers of halo and have certain artistic value.
Seeing this, Ye Tian was already a little shocked.
This diplomat couple is a bit extravagant and lustful! Is Costa Rica that rich?
The next few storage boxes are all top-grade household items, each of which is worth a lot of money!
A complete set of limited edition Zwilling knives, Royal Doulton bone china tea sets, coffee mug sets, and other dazzling luxury lifestyle items.
After seeing these dozen storage boxes, Ye Tian was completely impressed!
This diplomat is either the president of the Central Bank of Costa Rica or the minister of finance! Or maybe you just unearthed the Lima treasure!
While sighing secretly, he was also determined to get these storage boxes!
These things are definitely worth a lot of money.
Then there were those sealed suitcases and five or six large cardboard boxes.
According to the previous situation, there must be a lot of luxury goods in these cartons.
"Ye Tian, what can you see on those storage boxes? They are so tightly covered that there is not even a crack!"
Xu Lin muttered behind her, with a curious look on her face.
"If even you can see their value, is there any need for us treasure hunters to exist? I'm afraid we will all starve to death!"
Ye Tian replied with a smile.
"You seem so awesome! I haven't seen you take photos of the container? You're not just bragging, are you?"
Xu Lin continued to murmur in a low voice, with a look of disbelief in her eyes. Fang Ning was the same, with a strong suspicion in his eyes.
A few people quickly walked to the sealed carton.
As expected, these sealed cartons and two large suitcases were filled with high-end clothing and women's bags of various brands and styles.
Most of them are Chanel, and there are some customized products. Although the value is not as good as the Kelly bag, it is still worth a lot of money.
These luxury goods are in very good condition, and even two pieces of Chanel fashion have not even had their nameplates removed! 100% new goods, ready for sale directly on shelves.
It’s a little regrettable that no famous watches or jewelry were found.
There are only two Vacheron Constantin boxes and four Cartier jewelry boxes.
Famous watches and jewelry are small in size and can be carried with them. Coupled with their status as diplomats, they will not have any trouble entering and exiting the airport.
Although it is slightly imperfect, Ye Tian is still very satisfied with these goods and must win them!
As for the handling of the goods, there is no need to worry at all.
With so many Chinese purchasing agents on site, they can all be divided up in a blink of an eye, which can not only make a lot of money for themselves, but also not cause any additional trouble.
When he finished checking the goods, the auction began.
