On the penultimate day before the new year, Ye Tian and Betty returned to New York on Bombardier Global Express 8000.
Originally, they wanted to stay in Kentucky for two more days, not only to hide in peace, but also to deepen their relationship with Jueying, and then return to New York after the New Year, but no one urged them, so they had to come back early!
The person who urged them to return to New York was currently sitting in the conference room of the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company, right across from Ye Tian.
And he is also an old acquaintance and possible future collaborator, Wilson, the general manager of Thor Security Company.
Coming with him were their company's lawyers and several armed security personnel.
After a few polite words, Ye Tian immediately began to ask about the other party's purpose.
"Mr. Wilson, tell me about the treasure information you have found. I am very interested. If this treasure does exist and has a certain value, then we can cooperate in treasure hunting! Let's make a fortune together!"
This is why Ye Tian returned to New York!
The guy on the opposite side sent a message through Matisse, saying that they had discovered a valuable treasure and wanted to cooperate with the Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company in the treasure hunt!
But they did not reveal the location of the treasure, nor did they say what was in it. They just said with certainty that such a treasure existed! I hope to meet with Ye Tian to discuss cooperation matters.
Of course you can’t miss the treasure! So Ye Tiancai returned to New York early.
"Okay, Steven"
Wilson nodded in response and immediately began to introduce the treasure information.
“The information about this treasure was collected by our company’s intelligence personnel in Jamaica. They are all locals in Jamaica and are very familiar with it!
After leaving your place a few days ago, we immediately notified intelligence personnel around the world and asked them to pay attention to various information about the treasure. I didn’t expect to hear back so quickly. It’s an unexpected surprise!
This is a shipwreck treasure located in the Caribbean Sea. The shipwreck was about three hundred years ago, at the beginning of the 18th century. It was an ocean-going treasure ship traveling between Spain and Colombia!
In Jamaica and the coast of Colombia, news related to it has been circulating for three hundred years. According to legend, this treasure ship contained countless gold and silver jewelry, worth at least four to five billion US dollars!
Although the legend of this treasure is widely circulated, it has never been discovered in three hundred years. This sunken ship is still lying on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, waiting to be discovered. I hope the discoverer is us,..."
"Stop! Stop it for now!"
Wilson was talking in full swing when he was suddenly interrupted by Ye Tian.
No matter who is being forcibly interrupted, it is somewhat unpleasant, and Wilson is no exception.
After stopping the introduction, he looked at Ye Tian with anger in his eyes, but more with confusion!
The answer was quickly revealed, Ye Tian chuckled and said:
"Wow! Caribbean shipwreck treasures! It is indeed very attractive. There are indeed countless shipwrecks in that area, and it also contains huge wealth. It is full of temptation and desire!
But according to your introduction, the gold, silver and jewelry worth four to five billion US dollars is a Spanish treasure ship departing from Colombia. Why does it sound more and more like the famous "San Jose" treasure ship to me?
If it is really the San Jose treasure ship, it is best to give up this idea as soon as possible! There are too many people staring at these treasures. No matter how hard we try, these treasures will never fall into our hands!
The American Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company, the Colombian government, the Spanish government, the Peruvian and Ecuadorian governments are all eyeing the property on the San Jose. How can it be our turn?
More importantly, the sinking location of this super treasure ship is within the territorial waters of Colombia. I don’t want to work for the Colombian government for free, let alone my hard work in vain! "
The treasure ship San Jose mentioned by Ye Tian is famous in history.
This is a large Galenic ocean-going sailing ship with a displacement of 1,200 tons. It was built and launched in 1698. It belongs to the Spanish Navy. It is equipped with 64 cannons and has powerful firepower!
In June 1708, the San Jose embarked on its last voyage, loaded with countless gold and silver jewels plundered by Spanish colonists in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and other Latin American colonies!
Its departure point is the port of Cartagena, Colombia, with the purpose of transporting this huge wealth to the Spanish mainland to provide financial support for Spain, which is at war with Britain.
But the British quickly got the relevant information through informants. Not long after the San Jose's fleet set sail, they encountered an ambush by the British fleet.
What followed was naturally a **** fight.
In the end, the San Jose was unfortunately sunk and sank into the depths of the Caribbean with countless gold and silver treasures!
According to historical records, the various gold and silver treasures on board the San Jose totaled 200 tons.
There were 11 million gold coins among them. At that time, the total value of the ship's wealth exceeded 12 million pesos. At today's market price, it was worth at least 1 billion US dollars!
Some appraisal agencies even believe that the value of these gold and silver treasures should be between US$4 billion and US$17 billion!
Because of this huge wealth, the San Jose is also hailed as "the best among sunken ships" by the treasure hunting industry.
As a professional treasure hunter, Ye Tian naturally knows the sunken ship very well.
In the three hundred years after the San Jose sank, countless treasure hunters and Caribbean governments were trying to salvage this huge fortune and make a fortune!
But it is a pity that for three hundred years, people have not found the exact location of this sunken ship, let alone salvaged the gold and silver treasures inside!
It was not until the 1980s that Odyssey Ocean Exploration, a famous American treasure hunting company, announced that it had found the San Jose and was preparing to salvage it!
But no one expected that before the salvage work had even begun, the battle over the ownership of the huge amount of gold and silver jewelry in the sunken ship had already begun in full swing!
First there was a dispute and lawsuit between Odyssey Exploration Company and the Colombian government. Soon afterwards, the Spanish government, Peruvian and Ecuadorian governments also joined in. It was very lively!
The most advantageous one here is undoubtedly the Colombian government!
As long as they declare that this treasure ship belongs to the Colombian government, there is nothing anyone can do!
Who allowed this treasure ship to sink within other people’s territorial waters! It's just a matter of words.
For such a pool of muddy water, Ye Tian was naturally unwilling to go into it. There were plenty of treasures, so why bother himself? Don’t you feel full after eating?
Hearing Ye Tian's explanation, Wilson suddenly understood, and the unhappiness in his eyes quickly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, he immediately explained:
"Steven, you misunderstood. The sunken treasure I am talking about is not the 'San Jose', but a treasure ship that departed from the port of Cartagena and returned to Spain twelve years after it sank!
This treasure ship is called the Malaga Princess. It is an ocean-going sailing ship with a displacement of 800 tons. It is not as big as the San Jose, and it does not carry as much gold and silver treasure.
More importantly, the place where it sank was not within the territorial waters of any country! According to information sent back by intelligence personnel, the sinking site was located on the high seas between Jamaica and Colombia! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian's face immediately flashed with joy.
"That's great! If it's a shipwreck on the high seas, no matter how many treasures are recovered, 90% belong to the salvagers. The "Convention for the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage" has no restrictive effect on American treasure hunting companies!
If it is a shipwreck within the territorial waters of other countries, it will be very troublesome, and you will even get into trouble if you can't eat mutton. I have always stayed away from such unnecessary trouble! "
"I understand what you mean, Steven, but don't worry, this is indeed a shipwreck on the high seas!"
Wilson nodded and gave an affirmative answer.
“One more thing, is there an exact location where the Malaga Princess sank? Or a general range. If there is a treasure map, that would be perfect!
Even the high seas between the two small countries are quite vast. Without these, searching for this sunken treasure is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and the hope is very slim! "
“There is a treasure map that has been circulating in the local area for a long time, which should be more credible. However, according to this chart, no one has found the sunken ship, and can only use it to determine its approximate location.
Our company personnel conducted a comprehensive analysis of all the information collected and roughly determined a search scope. I have brought the relevant information. You can take a look first and then make a decision! "
With that said, Wilson opened his briefcase and took out a printed chart and other information, and handed it to Ye Tian.
Next, Ye Tian and Matisse began to study the charts carefully.
At the same time, they also opened their laptops, compared this chart with modern maps, and searched online for information related to this sunken treasure!
Wilson told Ye Tian all the information they learned, without reservation!
Time passed quickly, and an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
After the meeting, Wilson and the others stood up and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he stretched out his hand to Ye Tian and said with a smile:
"Steven, I hope you decide as soon as possible, and I look forward to hearing good news!"
“I can’t say yet whether we can cooperate in exploring this sunken treasure. Everything will have to wait until we conduct an on-site inspection. Only after investigation can we have a say!
Please rest assured that since it is the treasure information you provided, I will not leave you alone. I hope we have the opportunity to work together! "
Ye Tian held Wilson's hand and said, giving him reassurance.
Then, Wilson left with a group of his men, with a satisfied smile!
In the conference room, Ye Tian was packing his things and said to Matisse:
"It looks like I have to fly to Puerto Rico. It would be best if I can find this sunken treasure. If I can't find it, just treat it as a trip. The Caribbean is at its most beautiful now!"
"Why Puerto Rico? Not Jamaica or Colombia? Wouldn't that be closer?"
Mattis asked in surprise, a little confused.
“Jamaica and Colombia are too chaotic, full of drugs, gangs, and kidnappings! I don’t want to go to those two countries, let alone become a fat sheep in the eyes of others!
Although the situation in Puerto Rico is also very bad, at least it can be somewhat better under the rule of the United States! And it’s not far from both Jamaica and Colombia, so you can go there by yacht or seaplane! ”
Ye Tian explained the reason, and then walked out of the conference room with Matisse!
