Chapter 790: The Best Gift

This is the third day after returning to New York. The north wind roars outside the window and the cold is pressing. It is like two worlds while comparing with the Caribbean Sea.

After finishing his morning exercises in the gym and going to wash up again, Ye Tian walked into the dinner room refreshedly.

At this point, Betty had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him.

Ye Tian just sat down, before he had time to enjoy the food in front of him, Betty said excitedly:

"My dear, Jason sent another batch of pictures and videos. They were some of the treasures salvaged from the shipwreck of the Malaga's Princess last night. They were sorted out this morning.

These include more than 15,000 Spanish gold coins and Mexican krona gold coins, six gold sacrificial offering, four golden communion cups, and a 60 cm tall statue of the Virgin Mary.

In addition to these gold products, there are more than 100 emeralds, more than 50 rubies, some topaz and cornelian, and eight diamonds, each of which is extremely dazzling!

After the cleanup, under the supervision of the lawyers of both parties, Jason and the others immediately registered the treasures and locked them in the safe. Look at these pictures, they are amazing!"

Like most women, Betty does not have much resistance to the radiant gold and gems. She has already been captured by those beautiful babies!

At this moment, the light flashing in her eyes was the light of gold and gems of various colors.

With that, she pushed the ipad in front of Ye Tian to let him appreciate the pictures he had just received.

Ye Tian just glanced roughly, then pushed the ipad aside, and said with a chuckle:

"Jason and the others did a good job, and they have gained a lot! But this is only a small part of the treasure of the Malaga's Princess shipwreck. More dazzling gold and silver treasures have not been salvaged yet!

In the next few days, you will receive many pictures of this kind. Every day, many dazzling gold and beautiful gems of various colors are presented in front of you for you to enjoy.

You have to be mentally prepared, even if these babies are charming! It's not interesting to watch too much, maybe you will soon develop aesthetic fatigue and dismiss these babies!"

"No! These babies are so beautiful and charming, how can they cause aesthetic fatigue? Even if I keep facing them, I won't get bored."

Betty shook her head and said, still looking drunk.

"Well, I'll wait and see! See how it turns out in the end!"

Ye Tian said with a smile.

Then Betty continued:

"Miller has also sent a message, saying that they are going to take action today to salvage the pirate ship out of the water. This speed is too fast! That is a sunken ship located 450 meters deep under the sea!"

"Yes, the place where the unknown pirate ship sank is indeed very deep. If they want to salvage the sunken treasure and protect the sunken ship under the sea, it is indeed impossible to go so fast!

But we are just a private treasure hunting company. The purpose of exploring the sunken treasure is very clear. It is to go for those gold and silver treasures, and we have no responsibility and obligation to protect the sunken ship under the sea.

Besides, it is just an ordinary pirate ship, with little protection value, and the research value is quite limited. It is not surprising that there are hundreds of similar pirate ships in the Caribbean Sea!"

Ye Tian explained a few words, his expression was quite relaxed.

What happened to the pirate ship? Even if it is Titanic, if someone want stop him from getting rich, they will be completely dismantled into parts for him!

Hearing what he said, Betty immediately said worriedly:

"If we don't pay attention to protecting the shipwreck in the process of salvaging the treasure, willn't it arouse criticism from the outside world? Because of the live broadcast of NBC TV, our company has become the focus of attention, and countless people are staring at us!

In the past two days, some people have raised signs downstairs to protest. From the content of the signs, some are cultural relics protection activists, and some are from Caribbean countries, as well as some Spaniards!

They protest and demonstrate on Rockefeller Plaza every day. Although the number is not very large and the momentum is not great, they do attract a lot of attention, and it looks like that!"

"Don't pay attention to them. Most of the cultural relics protection activists are sensationalists just to gain media attention. Few people really care about the protection of cultural relics.

As for the guys from the countries along the Caribbean Sea and the Spaniards, there is no need to pay attention. The few shipwreck treasures we discovered this time are all located on the high seas. Can they bite me?"

Ye Tian said with a sneer, his face full of disdain.

"You're right, but we'd better keep a low profile and don't be the target of public criticism! God knows how many people have jealous eyes red and are about to trouble us!"

"Leave them, being jealous is mediocre! I've long been used to it. To be honest, I really like the feeling of them hate me for not dying, but they don't know me at all!"

"You guy is really, I don't know how to say you are good!"

Betty said with a wry smile, with a helpless expression on her face.

Ye Tian smiled triumphantly, and then returned to the topic.

"At most, we should pay attention to the process of salvaging the sunken ship. If we can protect it, don't destroy it, but we must not delay the normal salvage work. The same is true for the Malaga's Princess shipwreck.

Miller and the others will install a lot of buoys around the sunken ship, and then use the buoyancy of the sea, coupled with a special large net, and the steel cable on the salvage ship to salvage the pirate ship out of the water.

Without having to consider protecting the integrity of the sunken ship, this method of salvage is the most reasonable. It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. If nothing happens, this pirate ship can be done today!"

"Awesome! This means that we can know today whether the pirate ship is a sunken treasure, and what is hidden in the cabin!"

Betty said excitedly, with a bright smile on her face.

Obviously, the attraction of the shipwreck treasure is still greater, and instantly made her forget those worries just now.

In the process of discussing the shipwreck treasure, the two of them began to enjoy the breakfast in front of each other.

After eating breakfast and cleaning up, Ye Tian and Betty did not leave the apartment immediately and went to the company in the Rockefeller Building in Midtown Manhattan.

The two came to the living room, cuddled together on the sofa, and continued to chat.

"My dear, we are going to China in two days. Have you decided what gift to give to your parents? If you think about it, can you tell me something? I really want to know!"

Betty looked up at Ye Tian and asked curiously.

Ye Tian kissed his girlfriend in his arms, then said softly:

"I have long thought about it. I am a professional treasure hunter and a top antique art appraisal expert. Of course I have to give my parents some antique art!

Although my parents are not collectors and don't have any decent collections of antique art, they really like this kind of things, and they often watch related programs and discuss them enthusiastically.

They especially like antique artworks that represent traditional Chinese culture. I don't have any shortage of such things in my hands, and there are a lot of them. Among them, there are many top antique artworks that are national treasures.

My father likes painting and calligraphy, so I am going to give him two paintings, one is the representative work of the famous painter Li Tang in the early Southern Song Dynasty, Chinese ink landscape painting, "Jiangshan Autumn Colors".

The other is also a Chinese ink landscape, from the famous Southern Song Dynasty painter Ma Yuan's "Dongshan Crossing Water Map", this painting has a history of more than 900 years, and it is the old collection of the Chinese imperial garden!

These are two very outstanding and well-known top Chinese works of art. They have a very important position in the history of Chinese art. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the treasures of the country!"

"Wow! I know that you brought these two famous paintings back from Boston. Each one is very valuable. It is indeed a great gift. It couldn't be more suitable!

Give your father two top art works, so what gift do you plan to give your mother? It must be very valuable, very memorable, right? tell me the story!"

"The gift to my mother is also top antique art. My mother is a university teacher who teaches Chinese. She has a special liking for Chinese culture, and it can be considered a research.

She highly admires Li Qingzhao, who is known as the first talented woman in ancient China. The gift I gave her is related to that talented woman Li Qingzhao. I believe my mother will like it very much.

It is a group of Ming Dynasty celadon imitating Ru kiln, a total of four pieces, each of which is very elegant and beautiful! Very well preserved, rare, of course, these porcelains are also very valuable!

More importantly, on the bottom of these four top porcelains, Li Qingzhao's poems are written, which are the four most representative nouns, and they are handwritten by famous masters, which can be said to be unique!

I started this group of top porcelains very early and kept it in the vault. I waited for the Spring Festival to come home and give it to my mother. I believe that this must be the gift she most hopes to receive!"

"Awesome! My dear, these gifts are so good, I believe your parents must like them very much!"

"After talking about my gift, should I talk about you? What gift have you prepared for my parents? Can you tell me in advance to satisfy my curiosity!"

"Sorry, keep it secret for the time being. When you get to your parents' house, you will see the gift I prepared. I believe your parents will like it and bring you a surprise!"

Betty smiled and said, selling it off.

After that, she got up and walked upstairs, ready to change clothes and go to the company.

Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head, then got up and followed.
