Chapter 1054: Wishful thinking
Looking at the painful look in Cook's eyes, Ye Tian couldn't help but secretly laugh proudly, feeling very cool!
Immediately afterward, he asked knowingly:
"Cook, you're looking for me? I'm curious what is so important, and it's worth the flight from Los Angeles to San Jose, Costa Rica.
By the way, I also have one more thing to ask you, when we first arrived here yesterday afternoon, a local San Jose private investigator followed us and we quickly found out!
The guy later fell into the hands of the police, and according to him, an unknown Los Angeles client entrusted the business to follow us and report our whereabouts.
And then you showed up in San Jose, which makes me wonder if the L.A. guy who commissioned that private investigator might be you, am I right?"
Hearing this, Cook's face suddenly changed, revealing a little embarrassment.
However, this guy is also relatively single, and he did not push 625 and deny it.
He also knew in his heart that denial was useless, it would only be bad!
"That's right! That private investigator was indeed hired by me to follow you and report your whereabouts, that is just a normal means of commercial competition, and there is no malice! I hope you understand!"
"I have to believe in the normal means of competition!"
Ye Tian complained secretly, but he didn't say anything, just smiled at Cook's guy.
After a pause, Cook continued:
"I hired that private investigator for a reason, of course, as the owner of an exploration company, I have my own informant in many cities and many comprehensive universities.
Among them was Columbia University, and about five or six days ago, I received word from the informant that you had a treasure map of the Lima Treasure, and it was genuine!
Together with Columbia University's School of History and the Costa Rican government, you're going to join forces to explore the famous treasures of Lima on Cocos Island!
As a professional treasure hunter, it is impossible for me to ignore this news, let alone the famous Lima treasure, which is why I am closely following the movements of the three of you.
When I found out that Professor Douglas of Columbia University and several of your men were coming to San Jose, I realized that the discovery of Lima's treasures was imminent.
That's why I've hired that San Jose local idiot private investigator to quietly follow you and report on your every move in Costa Rica.
I would like to ask if what I have said above is true, and do you have a real treasure map of the treasures of Lima and are ready to explore it with the other two?"
After speaking, Cook stared at Ye Tian's eyes tightly, his eyes were full of anticipation, expecting to hear the best answer.
At this point, there's no need to hide this guy in front of you, and it's okay to tell him.
Even if we don't talk about it now, in a few hours, Cook will know the general situation of this matter.
Ye Tian's face bloomed with a bright smile again, and he nodded very affirmatively and said:
"That's right, Cook, the information you received is accurate, I do have a treasure map of the Lima Treasure, and I have identified this treasure map as having a more than ninety percent chance of being true.
But alas, this treasure map of Lima has been burned by me, and it has long been reduced to ashes, and now it only exists in my brain, and there is only one copy in the whole world, and nothing else!
It is also true that our tripartite joint exploration of the treasures of Lima is also true, and today is a beautiful day for the signing of the tripartite joint exploration agreement.
"Ahh
Cook exclaimed directly, his eyes widened, and both eyeballs were about to fly out of their sockets.
As he exclaimed, he was already cursing wildly.
"Fack! this damn bastard is always so meticulous and impeccable! This is over, there is no way to get hold of the treasure map, there is only one way to go through cooperative exploration!"
"Yes, that treasure map is gone, Cook, and from what you just said, you're clearly here for the Lima treasure, am I right?"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"You guessed that right, Steven, I'm here for the Lima treasure, and as a professional treasure hunter, who wouldn't want to find the second largest treasure in the known world?
We at Golden Eagle Discovery would like to join us in this joint exploration and join the three of you on our way to Cocos Island to discover this world-famous pirate treasure.
As a sign of sincerity, we at Golden Eagle Exploration can pay a certain price, such as covering all the costs of the exploration operation, providing the most advanced exploration equipment, and so on.
In the field of treasure hunting, Golden Eagle Discovery Company has a very rich experience and is one of the best companies in the industry.
As for the revenue sharing, we can talk about it again, I believe we will be able to find the most reasonable distribution plan, I hope you can accept the Golden Eagle company to join, which is good for everyone!
In the past, there were many conflicts between us, and several conflicts broke out, but business is business, as long as it is beneficial to both parties, I think we can put aside the mustard and cooperate!"
Cook nodded lightly, and explained the purpose of the trip, and the abacus played very loudly.
After speaking, he looked at Ye Tian with hope, waiting for Ye Tian to give an answer.
But nine times out of ten, life doesn't go as planned! Cook didn't get the answer he wanted.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Tian immediately gave an answer.
"I'm very sorry, Cook, all the relevant matters related to the joint exploration of Lima's treasures on Cocos Island, we have already negotiated all three of us, and we are about to sign a joint exploration agreement.
The terms you offered are very attractive, and Golden Eagle is indeed one of the best exploration companies, which is recognized in the industry, but you are one step late, and I am not going to add more partners.
I believe that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, there are countless famous treasures in the world, and the opportunity for cooperation may come soon!"
When he said this, Ye Tian's tone was categorical, there was no doubt at all, and there was no room for anything.
What kind of dreams do you have to cooperate with your Golden Eagle Exploration Company? Unless Lao Tzu's head is in the water, he will do that kind of stupid thing to ask for trouble!
Not to mention cooperating with you, it is walking on the same path as you bastards, I have to be vigilant at all times, beware of you bastards shooting black guns from behind!
This kind of bad thing of having a son without **, you bastards can definitely do it!
Hearing Ye Tian's answer, a disappointed expression immediately appeared on Cook's face.
He knew that his company's hopes of participating in the joint exploration had been completely dashed, and that Steven, the bastard, was extremely hateful, but he always did what he said, as everyone knows!
As long as it's what he decides, then no one wants to change his mind!
Knowing that there was no hope, Cook still couldn't help but want to fight for it, the treasure of Lima was so tempting, who would be willing to give up?
"Steven, is there really no chance at all? If you would like to accept the Golden Eagle into this joint exploration operation, in exchange, I can provide news of another famous treasure.
It was a famous treasure in southern Europe, and after several years of investigation and field surveys, we have basically determined the location of that treasure!
You just need to nod your head, I will give you all the information about that famous treasure, and it will definitely bring you a huge surprise, how about this quid pro quo?"
"Wow! It is a well-known exploration company in the industry, and it really lives up to its reputation! It is really enviable to have such good resources at hand!
Truth be told, Cook, your quid pro quo is so tempting that it makes my heart flutter, but I'm so sorry I can't say yes to you!
Golden Eagle will definitely not be able to participate in the exploration of the treasures of Lima, but fortunately there is also the famous treasure in southern Europe, I hope you will be surprised and make a fortune there!"
Ye Tian first complimented a few words, and then unceremoniously rejected Cook's conditions.
Dude has these eyes that can see everything, is it still a difficult thing to find treasures?
As the saying goes, don't speculate more than half a sentence!
Having said that, the communication will definitely not be able to continue, and there will be no results if it continues, just a waste of words!
Cook didn't dwell on it anymore, and said with regret:
"In this case, then I can't force it, it seems that our Golden Eagle Exploration Company does not have a chance with the famous Lima Treasure, it is a pity!
Steven, I still have some things to do and have to leave, and here, I wish you all the best and a windfall in this joint exploration operation!"
"Thank you for your blessings, Cook, let's say goodbye, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate in treasure hunting in the future!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian stretched out his right hand, ready to shake hands with Cook and say goodbye.
Cook, who had just suffered a secret loss, would be fooled again, wouldn't he really be a fool! And it was incorrigible.
He nodded at Ye Tian with a wry smile, then turned around and walked towards the door of the suite.
Soon he walked out of his suite and into the elevator, where he met up with two of his men who were waiting there.
As soon as they entered the elevator, the doors closed, and they began to descend, Cook immediately gritted his back molars and whispered:
"Smith, keep an eye on the deep-sea exploration ship Intrepid docked in New York Harbor, keep an eye on every move of that ship, and don't let go of any detail.
When he returned to Los Angeles, he immediately organized the company's employees to go to Cocos Island as individual tourists, and searched the island to find the location of Lima's treasures.
That's the second greatest treasure in the world known, and I can't let that bastard Steven eat it alone, and I'm going to bite off a piece of fat from it anyway!"
"Okay, boss, I'll start making arrangements as soon as I get back to Los Angeles, but we have to note that the Costa Rican government forbids anyone to hunt for treasure on Cocos Island!
Tourists are not allowed to stay on the island for more than 12 days, which means that we can only scatter the treasure hunt in the dark, and a lot of exploration equipment cannot be carried and used, and it must be completed within 12 days!"
"I know that you can't use high-tech exploration equipment, so use manpower, and arrange for everyone to set off in batches to explore the treasures of Lima on Cocos Island, and there will be a big reward for the discoverer!
It's a small rainforest-covered island with a small size of only 24 square kilometres, and if you go deep into the rainforest, you can avoid the sight of the island managers.
We've got to find the Lima Treasure before Steven and his joint exploration team, or we'll have to fight those New York bastards in the rainforest, that's the last resort!"
While speaking, the elevator has reached the first floor.
The moment the elevator door opened, Cook immediately stopped talking, walked out of the elevator with two of his men, and left the InterContinental Hotel quickly!
