www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of treasure hunting around the world!
Monday, 10 am.
Sotheby's Auction House, Reception Room, Sports Collectibles Department.
Ye Tian was drinking coffee leisurely with a relaxed expression. Lawyer David was reviewing the auction contract beside him.
Across the street are three Sotheby's employees. One is Billy, the head of the sports collectibles department, and the other two are sports collectibles appraisal experts.
They were appraising Ye Tian’s box of New York Yankees baseball collectibles, carefully and at the same time, each of them had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Especially the supervisor, Billy, whose eyes are so bright, like searchlights, that he looks a little crazy!
He is a native of New York and a die-hard Yankees fan. It is not surprising that he behaves like this! For any other Yankees fan, it would be basically the same, or more!
Five minutes passed.
The two experts continued to concentrate on identifying each piece of the collection, and Billy raised his head.
"Steven, thank you again for choosing Sotheby's and entrusting us to auction these baseball collections; I am deeply honored to see the signed baseball of 'Yankee Light' Gehrig. This is a perfect morning!"
Billy said excitedly.
Although his emotions had calmed down slightly at this time, his face was still flushed with excitement. He did not look like a professional in his forties at all, but more like a 17 or 18-year-old baseball fanatic.
"Billy, you're welcome. I chose Sotheby's because of your excellent reputation. I believe this is a win-win cooperation"
Ye Tian replied with a smile.
"Of course, as long as the auction announcement of these baseball collectibles is released, it will definitely cause shock, especially among Yankees fans, the sensation is inevitable!
I can almost predict the situation during the preview and auction. It must be unprecedentedly grand and crowded with competitors. If I were a rich man, I would also participate, but unfortunately I am not! "
"Hahaha, even if you can't own it, I believe your chances of appreciating these collections are no less than others"
……
Due to the large number of collections, the appraisal time is relatively long.
After David reviewed the contract, the appraisal was less than half completed.
Taking this time, Ye Tian took out the employment contract he had written and asked David to check it.
There are two contracts, one for Jason and one for Bowie. In addition, there is a confidentiality agreement specifically for Bowie.
At the same time.
Ye Tian whispered the details of the employment cooperation, especially about Bowie, everything was explained in detail.
Doing this will undoubtedly minimize the risk and keep everything under control.
After listening to the story, David, who is a lawyer and is used to the ups and downs, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and expressed his admiration!
"Steven, you are so thoughtful and have a very thorough plan. No wonder you can find treasures one after another and make a fortune! I admire you!"
Ye Tian smiled and said helplessly:
"There is nothing I can do about it. After several treasure hunts, I have become the target of public criticism. If I don't do this, it will be difficult to photograph the warehouse again. In order to continue to make a fortune, I have no choice but to think about it.
Another point is that I have a very good relationship with Bowie. Seeing his current situation, as a friend, I should give him a helping hand, and this is also helping myself! "
"Bowie is so lucky to have a friend like you. He doesn't have to go back to Texas. He still has a chance in New York!"
David nodded and praised a few words.
He then began to review the contract, and he would have to take Bowie's contract back and witness the signature!
At eleven o'clock, the appraisal work is completed.
All the collections are undoubtedly authentic, have high collection value, and the market prices are quite high.
As the two sports collectibles experts announced unanimous appraisal opinions, the process of signing an auction contract began.
Ye Tianlong quickly signed the contract and completed the auction procedures.
"Steven, there will be an auction announcement tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. A preview will be arranged in about a week. The auction will be held at the end of August. There will be a special auction for sports collectibles at that time. I believe the best price will be achieved."
Putting away the contract, Billy began to introduce the auction arrangements, which were very detailed and very important.
"OK! I'm very satisfied, just waiting for the preview to start"
Ye Tian nodded and said.
Then he shook hands with several professionals and said goodbye, and left Sotheby's!
When I came out of the office building, it was already lunch time.
This place is very close to Chinatown, so without driving, Ye Tian and David strolled into Chinatown to enjoy the mouth-watering Chinese food!
……
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian returned to Sotheby's again.
But this time I didn’t go to the office building, but to the personal vault.
With the help of the staff, he loaded the two boxes of antiques bought by Peter Cooper into the pickup truck, then drove away from Sotheby's and went to Benny's second-hand store.
It’s time to exchange these treasures for green dollars!
It was only half past one when we arrived at Benny's second-hand store, and there was still half an hour before the agreed transaction time.
As soon as the car parked, Jason and Parker came out immediately, and the three of them moved the two suitcases into the store together.
Then Ye Tian saw Benny and three old men in their fifties walking out of the reception room.
There is a familiar face among the three, that is the old fox Gary. The other two are unknown and should be the targets of this transaction.
"Hey! Benny, Gary, good afternoon!"
Ye Tian smiled and said hello, and those he didn't recognize nodded politely.
"Good afternoon, Steven, we can't wait for it!"
Gary greeted with a smile.
Although it is an exaggeration, this old fox still behaves calmly, gently and elegantly, like a gentleman!
"Gentlemen, this is the famous and brightest treasure-digging star in the warehouse auction world, God's darling, Steven"
After Benny said hello, he began to introduce Ye Tian, his words were quite exaggerated.
"It is indeed famous, I have heard it countless times in the past two days!"
One of the old men said with a smile, and the other one nodded in agreement.
"Steven, this is Erwin, the antique shop owner, and this is Anderson, the second-hand shop owner, they are all here for your antiques!"
Benny introduced the identities of the other two people.
Ye Tian stepped forward and shook hands with each other one by one, getting to know each other.
After a few polite words, Gary got straight to the point.
"Steven, open the box and let us see the baby!"
The eyes of the remaining people suddenly lit up, and their gazes immediately turned to the two huge boxes, expecting Ye Tian to open them and start hunting for treasure.
But Ye Tian unexpectedly shook his head and refused.
"Sorry, we can't open the box now. There are still people who haven't arrived yet. For the sake of fairness, let's wait until everyone is here to enjoy it together"
What else could the other people say, so they could only nod and wait patiently.
Ye Tian did this with consideration.
These people will be partners in the future. In order to maintain a good relationship, they must be fair and treat everyone equally, so that they can continue to cooperate in the future.
The time soon reached two o'clock, and the remaining two people also rushed to Benny's second-hand store.
After some introductions and pleasantries, everyone walked into the reception room and started today’s antique appraisal transaction.
