Chapter 420: New York Autumn Auction

Three days later, Ye Tian received a joint reply from Douglas and another professor.

The aswer is affirmative. They decided to accept the invitation to participate in the treasure hunt on Cocos Island in Costa Rica and to dig the world-famousTreasure of Lima together.

In this treasure hunt, they participated as professors in the Department of History of Columbia University and shouldered the responsibility of archaeological research. The Columbia University authorities agreed to this joint operation.

Like Ye Tian's previous proposal, the two professors will apply for a treasure hunting permit to the Costa Rican government under the banner of the Department of History of Columbia University.

If the Lima treasure is really found, then every piece of treasure that is unearthed will have to go through the hands of two professors and after they have carefully identified and studied it, it can be sold or auctioned.

Columbia University will enjoy all the academic research results and in the future, there may be the participation of Costa Rican research institutions. This is a later story, let alone!

In addition to the Costa Rican government, Columbia University will have the second highest priority to purchase the unearthed treasure.

Of course, the purchase price must be based on the market price and cannot harm Ye Tian's interests!

If he can't find the Treasure of Lima and just enjoy it, then it's a different matter!

As the initiator of the action, Ye Tian will compensate the History Department of Columbia University with 2 million US dollars to make up for their so-called losses. Who knows what they have lost!

During the treasure hunt, Columbia University will not need to pay a penny and all expenses will borne by Ye Tian.

Even the early application fees, travel expenses for personnel exchanges and board and lodging expenses are all covered by Ye Tian's pockets and Columbia University will take advantage of it.

Although a little unhappy, Ye Tian could only accept with gritted teeth.

Who makes them an Ivy League school with great influence! Can only accept the demands and this is the first time the two sides have cooperated, it doesn't matter if you suffer a bit.

Using him to become famous in the archaeological circle! Let's see who will begging whom?

At that time, if the Columbia University does not accept the conditions of him, then offer to two!

There is Harvard University and Princeton University too! The history departments of these prestigious schools are just as awesome! The influence is no worse than Colombia University!

After reaching the cooperation intention, under the witness of the lawyers of both sides, Ye Tian quickly signed a cooperation agreement with the two history professors.

The preliminary work began immediately. Douglas and the others came forward to do some preparatory work, contact the Costa Rican government and began to apply for a treasure hunting license.

During this period, Ye Tian didn't have to do many things. In addition to grasping the overall direction, he was left with cooperation, as well as paying for related expenses.

The treasure hunting permit will definitely not be obtained in the short term and even if it is taken, it is impossible to start operations now.

If he want to board the treasure hunt on Cocos Island, he have to go after March next year, preferably June to July.

At that time, the climate and sea conditions on Cocos Island were the best, the most suitable for treasure hunting!

Two more days passed.

The flat-head dining car whose rear door was broken before was sent back after the overhaul and was thrown on the side of the road at the entrance of the apartment. It was very eye-catching!

In his spare time, Ye Tian occasionally drived this car out, participate in some warehouse auctions in New York City and wipe out the treasures at the door of his house.

Jason is using this car more often and that's the best use of it!

Every day, he puts a few antiques into this car, those under $100,000 and then drives this flat-head dining car all over New York!

In the many antique shops and antique markets in New York, someone can often see the shadow of him peddling antiques and he is very busy!

Bowie was the same. After sending most of the antique art to Christie's, he also drove his pickup truck and began to sell the remaining antiques all over New York.

He ran farther and someone can see his pickup truck in several surrounding states such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland, etc. He is very busy, but happy and motivated!

The two often meet in some antique shops or antique markets in New York and they get along well!

It's just that every time Jason comes back, he complains and scolds the Texas cowboy for stealing his own business. At the same time, he is also very surprised. Why does Bowie have so many antique works of art? It seems that there are more antique works of art than himself!

If he knew that this Texas cowboy was in the same group with himself and all the antique artworks were also under Ye Tian's secret guidance and they swept frantically the Corridor 127!

Within a few days, Jason and Bowie became two hot characters and their names passed to everyone in the New York antique shop.

Everyone knows that these two guys have a lot of antique art in their hands.

Although the value of their antique artworks is relatively average and not too expensive, they are definitely genuine, not fake, and very trustworthy!

Moreover, the prices offered by these two guys are relatively fair and they rarely ask wildly!

Gradually, some small antique shops in New York City started to contact them actively, buying antique artworks from them and then changing hands out.

As a result, Jason and Bowie can process the inventory much faster. It is estimated that it will not take long before all the inventory can be processed!

By the way, the reputation of the two is getting louder and louder, as if they are already star figures in the industry!

And Ye Tian, ​​standing behind them, was completely idle.

He is now visiting museums every day, learning about antique art, exercising, training in a mixed martial arts club, or practicing military fighting skills with Matisse, shooting in the shooting range and so on.

While enjoying life, he can also make money every day and his life is extremely moist, more beautiful than gods!

A few days after the flat-top dining car was sent back, the Escalade Presidential No. 1 bulletproof SUV, which was in Lexington, Kentucky, was also sent back to New York.

The Highway 75 incident has been closed. The facts of the case are clear. There is no doubt that the police wouldn't continue to detain these proofs. Naturally, they have to return them to Ye Tian.

Also sent back together were the automatic rifles that were left at the scene of the incident and used as proofs.

They are the AK74M who stayed at the police station in Lexington, and the G36K who stayed at the police station in Jamestown, Tennessee and the combat knife.

The Corridor 127's cases has completely ended, without any trouble.

Several lawyers in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee also ended their work. Everyone received a check with a string of numbers that surprised them!

After President Escalade returned to New York on the 1st, Ye Tian sent the car for overhaul.

It won't be long before this bulletproof SUV will have a brand new look and be put into service again.

In the future, as long as he is in New York City, Ye Tian still intends to use the Ferrari and the Cadillac President One as a means of transportation. Only when he leaves New York, he will use the Marauder!

The Paramount Marauder is so eye-catching! Driving it on the streets of New York is indeed a bit too exaggerated! And the car body is too big, parking is a hassle!

Of course, Cadillac President Escalade One is also very eye-catching, but at any rate it is a little low-key!

In a blink of an eye, the first week of October has passed.

On October 7, the long-awaited New York autumn auction officially kicked off.

It's time to harvest dollars frantically!

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and Betty came to the Sotheby's Building in Lower Manhattan to participate in the first Sotheby's New York autumn auction.

Antique furniture auction special!

Walking into the auction hall, Ye Tian looked up and saw an acquaintance, Dennis, the head of Sotheby's antique furniture department.

At the same time, Dennis saw them and walked over immediately.

"Steven, Betty, good morning, you just came here and the auction will begin soon!"

"Good morning, Dennis, this is the first New York autumn auction. Of course I can't be late. I hope I can get a surprise! A good start!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Betty next to him was the same, looking at the scene excitedly.

"Don't worry, Steven, you will definitely get a big surprise. Several buyers here are for the royal furniture. The competition will be fierce later!"

"Hahaha, that's great! The fiercer the competition, the better, I like that kind of scene!"

Ye Tian said with a light smile.

After a few more conversations, Dennis left and Ye Tian went to get the number plate, took Betty forward and got ready to take a seat!

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"Steven, wait a minute!"

Someone speaked in Mandarin, which sounds very pleasant.

Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked at the door with a bit of surprise!
