Chapter 594: High Price of the TV Broadcast Rights

"Good morning, guys!"

After greeting the two Raytheon security guards at the door, Ye Tian and the others pushed the door and walked into the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel.

At this time, the banquet hall was extremely noisy and crowded.

There are dozens of FBI agents wearing uniforms and sturdy appearances, as well as many museum curators, famous collectors, art brokers and representatives of major art insurance companies from all over the world.

A four-member team sent by the Historical Heritage Protection Advisory Committee of the Ministry of the Interior also arrived here.

In addition to the employees of his own company and several security personnel from Raytheon, more than one hundred people have gathered in the banquet hall.

Entering the door and standing still, Ye Tian glanced at the scene first and then walked to the front of the hall with David and the others.

Not two steps forward, many people have seen them and greeted them one after another!

"Good morning, Steven, you guy has finally appeared, hurry up and get started, we all want to get back the stolen antique art as soon as possible! We are anxious!"

"Mr. Reyes, good morning, stay calm! If nothing else, you will soon get what you want and see the two top art pieces stolen of your museum!"

Ye Tian said hello with a smile on his face and gave the Spanish old man a reassurance!

"Steven, good morning, when will we start? We can't wait for a moment!"

"Good morning, Mr. Rene, the time is not yet certain, it depends on the specific situation, although rest assured, the warehouse where the stolen antique art is hidden is always under surveillance and will never disappear out of thin air!"

Ye Tian nodded and greeted everyone and walked forward quickly.

In addition to many museum owners, famous collectors and others who are paying attention to him, a large number of FBI agents on the scene are also following him, but their eyes are not very friendly.

"What kind of information does this bastard Steven have? Even our FBI has to cooperate with him. I am really unwilling to be led by the bastard!"

"I don't know, the guys from Washington have very strict mouths and didn't reveal anything, but what Steven said when the bastard greeted others seemed to be related to the theft of antique art!"

The FBI Boston branch agents who whispered were all randomly selected and did not know the purpose of this operation. At this time, they were naturally confused and full of doubts!

This was specifically requested by Ye Tian ​​and the actions must be strictly confidential.

The reason why he chose to deploy operations here instead of in the FBI building is also for this reason!

After all, this is Boston, the home of Thompson's gang, so he need be too cautious.

Soon, Ye Tian and the others walked to the front of the banquet hall.

After greeted everyone, Ye Tian found Joey of the FBI's art crime team and asked:

"Why didn't I see Colton? He is the director of the FBI Boston branch. He is indispensable for this operation. The location of the operation is very sensitive. He needs to coordinate the relationship!"

Colton is currently staying with several FBI bomb disposal experts. The special vehicles of the bomb disposal team are not suitable for appearing here, which will cause panic among the people.

He has to coordinate with the Boston police and ask the police to cooperate in the operation, so he didn't come here. Once the operation started, he would definitely take people to the scene as soon as possible and it would not be a mistake!"

Joey explained the reason, and it was reasonable.

"That's it, this arrangement is also good, just don't make a mistake!"

Ye Tian replied and didn't pay much attention to this matter.

He is not worried about whether Colton will leak the secrets. After Thompson enters the underground palace, he will reveal the final mystery and start the arrest!

At that time, even if Colton wanted to inform, Thompson did not have a cell phone signal and he had no condition to receive the warning message at all!

After a few small chats, Joey took Ye Tian a few steps to the side and introduced him to a white man in his fifties.

"Steven, this is Judge William, from the Boston High Court. Before the formal action, he will sign four search warrants on the spot here!"

"Good morning, Mr. Judge, this is Steven. I am glad to meet you!"

Ye Tian shook hands with the other party and introduced himself.

"Good morning, Steven, I am also glad to meet you, but is this a bit too much today? Do you need to be so careful?"

William greeted him, then asked inexplicably.

Obviously, when Joseph and Joey invited the judge to come, they concealed some information, otherwise he would not have this question!

"It seems that Joey and the others have not told you that the case involved not only the theft of a large number of top antique artworks, but also a lot of munitions, including many powerful C4 explosives!

In the face of these horrible things, I don't think I can be overly cautious, right? In addition, the status of the person involved in the case is very special and the influence cannot be underestimated, so I am so cautious!"

Ye Tian explained the situation, there is no need to hide this one at this time!

"Ah! There are still a lot of C4 explosives! It's terrible!"

Judge William's face changed drastically and he exclaimed directly.

The rest of the people nearby did the same, screaming in low voices, obviously frightened.

Hearing their voices, everyone in the banquet hall looked over here, and many people were full of curiosity in their eyes, not understanding why they exclaimed!

"Gentlemen, please control your emotions, this information will be kept secret for the time being!"

Ye Tian said in a low voice, so as not to cause more commotion.

These people quickly controlled their emotions, but their expressions were extremely solemn and their eyes were still full of fright and they couldn't hide it at all!

In the following time, people kept coming and walked into this banquet hall.

By about nine o'clock, all relevant museum curators, famous collectors, art brokers and representatives of major art insurance companies had arrived here.

People have gathered and the big show can start at any time!

During this period, Ye Tian went back to the presidential suite upstairs, said goodbye to Betty, let her stay in the hotel and be responsible for logistics.

Then he went to the Temporary Intelligence Center to learn about the latest monitoring situation, arrange follow-up work and be ready to set off at any time.

Matisse and them are the same, they are all ready, ready to go.

Later, when the operation officially starts, they will set off directly from the banquet hall, instead of going back upstairs, which saves a lot of trouble.

At 9:30 in the morning, everyone walked into the banquet hall again.

Under Jason's leadership, the rest of the company's employees have come here.

Each of them put on the prepared white work clothes, printed with the words and logos of the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company uniformly, and they looked quite imposing.

As Ye Tian requested, everyone's clothes are equipped with walkie-talkies and micro-cameras, but they have not been turned on yet, they will be put into use soon!

In addition, each of them basically has a metal trolley suitcase around them, large and small!

These boxes are filled with various tools and equipment, such as dust-proof gloves, professional painting tubes, tools for removing frames, portable safes, etc., which will be used later!

At the beginning of the operation, these company employees will not immediately go to the Old North Church, but stood by here.

They will wait until the old Thompson guy was captured or killed, the deadly trap in the tunnel was lifted, all weapons and explosives were removed from the underground palace and they were completely safe before they set off.

Entering the banquet hall, Ye Tian first greeted several museum curators and collectors who had just arrived and then he came to the area where the company's employees were.

Seeing him coming, many company employees immediately gathered around and asked:

"Steven, can you talk about the goal of this treasure hunt now? Everyone is so curious!"

"This scene is too exaggerated! Boss, there are so many FBI agents involved in the operation, what kind of treasure is it? It is worth such a big fight!"

Everyone asked in a rush, everyone was full of curiosity and very excited!

"Yes! It's time to reveal the answer, lest everyone continue to suffer from curiosity, but the matter is more complicated and it is difficult to explain clearly in one or two sentences!

Please wait patiently for the meeting. It only takes two or three minutes. Either I, or someone from the FBI, will be on the front desk and explain everything to everyone."

Ye Tian said with a smile and temporarily calmed down these curious guys.

After chatting with everyone in the company for a while, Ye Tian and David turned and walked towards several other people not far away.

The identities of these few are quite special. They are neither FBI agents nor persons in the field of antique art collection, nor are they employees of the Brave and Fearless Exploration Company!

They are a special report team from NBC TV station and they accepted the invitation of Ye Tian to report this treasure hunt!

This special report group has a total of seven people, with a lot of equipment, cameras, microphones, lighting equipment, etc. At this time, the equipment is being set up. It is fast and very professional!

NBC Television's headquarters is also located in Manhattan's Rockefeller Center, close to Ye Tian's company.

The day before leaving New York, Ye Tian directly approached the relevant person in charge of NBC TV station and prepared to sell the TV broadcast rights of this treasure hunt to NBC TV station.

What level of sensation this treasure hunt will cause, he knows better than anyone else, it is definitely a tsunami level! The nation and the world will be a sensation for it! no doubt!

Because of this, the television broadcast rights of this treasure hunt have become extremely valuable and tempting and there is almost no problem in selling them at a sky-high price.

Although selling TV broadcasting rights can definitely make a fortune, it is not worth mentioning compared to those stolen top antique artworks and it is not even worth the value of a famous painting.

However, no matter how small the amount is, it is money and of course it cannot be easily given up!

Ye Tian's asking price naturally followed his usual cruel and cunning style and he unceremoniously asked a sky-high price!

20 million dollars!
