When Ye Tian and the others rushed to the Sotheby's auction house, the auction was already halfway through. A top-notch antique artwork sent for auction by the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company had been sold at auction, and the transaction price was very good!
In the subsequent second half of the auction, two other top-notch antique artworks sent for auction by Brave and Fearless Exploration Company were also successfully sold, and the transaction prices were much higher than the auction reserve price given by Ye Tian.
In particular, the finale lot, a surrealist oil painting by the famous Spanish painter and art master Salvador Dali, sold at the highest price of the day, bringing this top-level auction to a successful conclusion.
With the successful auction of these three top-notch antique artworks, the Intrepid Exploration Company that sent them to the auction will soon have a huge sum of money in its bank account.
After the auction, Ye Tian and the others had some lunch, and then led the seven or eight company employees who arrived into the underground vault of Sotheby's auction house.
Soon, the time came to around 1:30 noon.
Ye Tianzheng led people to count the antique works of art in the underground vault of Sotheby's auction house to decide which antique works of art to bring back to Beijing and which ones to stay in New York.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Jason.
The call was connected, and Jason's voice came over immediately.
"Steven, our **** convoy has entered Manhattan and is heading downtown. The journey is very smooth and nothing happened"
After hearing the report, Ye Tian immediately said:
"You go directly to the Mellon Bank headquarters building and deposit the gold, silver, treasures and antiques that have just been shipped back to New York into the Mellon Bank's underground vault. Anderson and Derek are waiting for you at the Mellon Bank."
"Okay, Steven, we're going to Mellon Bank now"
Jason responded, then hung up the phone and ended the call.
Next, Ye Tian continued to select the top antique artworks to be brought back to Beijing, and asked his employees to pack these priceless treasures into boxes by category to ensure that each treasure could be properly protected.
When leaving New York in two days, these boxes will be loaded directly into the armored **** truck and transported to JFK Airport. Then they can be transported to Beijing on an Air China charter flight.
Of course, these top-quality antique artworks still have to pass two hurdles before being shipped to Beijing.
One is the airport customs, and the other is the FBI art crime team that is always watching Ye Tian.
Among these top antique artworks, there are no treasures listed on the list of art pieces restricted from leaving the country, and the origin of each antique artwork is clear and there is no doubt.
At this point, even if the guys in the FBI Art Crime Team want to cause trouble, they can't find a valid excuse unless they want to completely break up.
Time flies when we are busy.
It was not until late in the evening that Ye Tian and the others packed up all the top antique artworks that had been carefully selected and prepared to be shipped to Beijing, and then left the Sotheby's auction house.
……
In the blink of an eye, it’s a new day.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian arrived at the company on time and handled some daily affairs in the office.
At nearly ten o'clock in the morning, he took Jason and several company employees, as well as David and his assistant, and left the company under the protection of Matisse and others, and drove straight to Columbia University.
When the group of them arrived at Columbia University, a motorcade from the Consulate General of Honduras in New York happened to arrive at the gate of Columbia University.
Today is the day when Intrepid Exploration Company, the Government of Honduras, and the Columbia University School of History will negotiate and sign an agreement to jointly explore the treasures of the Golden City.
After previous talks with the Honduran government and Columbia University, Ye Tian and them basically reached an agreement. Today, they will go over the details and sign a joint exploration agreement.
In addition to the convoy of the Consulate General of Honduras, many media reporters who received the news also rushed to Columbia University like a tide to prepare for interviews.
In fact, it was the person arranged by Ye Tian who revealed the news to these media reporters.
The reason why he did this naturally had a profound meaning.
The Treasure of the Golden City is hidden deep in the rainforest of Honduras. If you want to explore and recover this long-rumored huge treasure, you must cooperate with the Honduran government authorities.
Honduras is a country on the verge of bankruptcy. The domestic situation is turbulent and military coups are frequent. The credibility of the government authorities can be imagined.
If the joint exploration team does not discover the treasure of the Golden City, then nothing will matter. Everyone can live in harmony and be at peace with each other, but their hard work will be in vain, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Once the joint exploration team discovers the treasure of the Golden City, stimulated by the large amount of gold and silver treasures and antique artifacts in the treasure, it is certain that these crazy and poor Hondurans will become red-eyed.
At that time, it will not be surprising for the red-eyed Hondurans to do anything.
They may even take the risk, turn against them, tear up the joint exploration agreement, and try to monopolize the huge treasure of the Golden City.
Cooperating with such a person and such a government is tantamount to dancing with wolves. Does Ye Tian dare to be careless?
In fact, he brought the Columbia University School of History into the joint exploration team and publicly signed the tripartite joint exploration agreement to the news media as a means of self-protection.
His purpose is to make this joint exploration operation known to the whole world. In this way, even if the Hondurans want to turn against each other and seize the treasures of the Golden City, they will have a lot of scruples.
Not only do they have to worry about Ye Tian's crazy revenge, they also have to worry about the U.S. government standing behind Intrepid Exploration Company and Columbia University, as well as the huge pressure from the media and public opinion.
Faced with this situation, any sane person or government would think twice before making a decision, unless they were completely crazy.
As soon as Ye Tian's motorcade and the Honduran Consulate General in New York's motorcade arrived at the gate of Columbia University, they were spotted by many media reporters who had been waiting here for a long time, and these guys immediately followed.
Next, such a scene happened on the campus of Columbia University.
A fleet of five full-size bulletproof SUVs and another fleet with diplomatic license plates drove on the road inside Columbia University and headed straight for the School of Liberal Studies building.
Behind the two convoys, a large group of media reporters with guns and cannons in their hands were running wildly, chasing the two convoys, and kept raising their cameras to take pictures.
Where the motorcade passed by, many students on the Columbia University campus, as well as pedestrians and tourists coming and going, couldn't help but stop and look at this scene curiously.
"Why is this guy Steven coming to our school again? I heard that he was here yesterday and went to the General Education College building. I wonder what happened? Wherever this guy goes, something must happen! ”
"I heard from others that this guy Steven is going to cooperate with several professors from the School of History to jointly explore a famous treasure. What exactly is this treasure and where is it? There is no way to know!"
While people were talking about it, they were also curious. They all stared at the Paramount Predator that Ye Tian was riding.
Some of the curious guys simply followed the running media reporters and walked quickly to the general education building not far away. Everyone was full of expectations.
After a while, Ye Tian's motorcade arrived at the Columbia University School of General Studies building and stopped at the edge of the steps in front of the building.
Following this, the convoy of the Consulate General of Honduras in New York also arrived here and stopped one after another.
The car door opened, Ye Tian and David got out of the car first and stood on the ground.
Not far behind, Hernando, the special envoy of the President of Honduras, and a Latino man in his fifties or sixties also got out of the car and nodded lightly at Ye Tian and the others and said hello.
