Half an hour later, Ye Tian and Jason arrived at Sotheby's Auction House, and the trailer followed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The three tails were not thrown off, and they still followed.
When the car drove to the door, Ye Tian immediately got in touch with the person in charge of Sotheby's personal vault, and after a few words of communication, they drove into the exclusive garage underground of Sotheby's.
Seeing the Chevrolet and the trailer disappear at the garage entrance, the three tails behind were completely dumbfounded!
Is this a baseball collectible to be auctioned? It's too fast!
"Fack! this bastard is so fucking cunning!"
Welch angrily slapped the steering wheel in the car, swearing.
He knew that the chances of snatching the box of baseball collectibles were slim to none, but he didn't drive away, still holding on to the last shred of hope until the Chevrolet showed up again.
What if it's not a shoot-off?
The SUV was also filled with angry scolding.
"Bichi! Why did this bastard think of Sotheby's?"
"Fack, Fack, I knew it was like this, I should have done it on the road."
"! How can you do it in broad daylight? Cars are coming and going, there are people everywhere, there are cameras everywhere, if you dare to rob yourself, you will have to go to prison immediately!
We didn't have any guns, so what were we going to do? Could it be that we robbed with a wrench? The other party was also two people, and there were also people from the towing company. Grow your brains, idiot!"
"What then? Do you have a solution?"
"There's no way! I can only wait! Wait for them to come out to see the situation, if it really doesn't work, we can only wait for the auction money to be paid back before we do it!"
In addition to them, there was also a burst of angry scolding in the farthest pickup.
Although they knew that there was little hope, they did not leave, still waiting for a miracle.
......
As soon as the car was parked in the garage, the person in charge of Sotheby's personal vault stepped out of the elevator.
Trailing behind, there were also two security guards with loaded guns and live ammunition, and their hands were always pressed on the holsters, giving people a sense of danger.
Seeing the other party appear, Ye Tian immediately got out of the car and greeted with a smile:
"Hello, is this Mr. Nelson? I'm Steven."
"Hello Mr. Steven, I'm Nelson, welcome to Sotheby's, and I'm so excited that you have chosen our personal vault service!"
Nelson walked over enthusiastically and briskly.
After a few words of greeting, Ye Tian hugged the baseball collectible box and followed Nelson into the elevator. Jason stayed in the garage to deal with the storage of the Dodge Challenger.
The Sotheby's personal vault area is underground, and it's not long to get there.
Coming out of the elevator, Ye Tian first faced a set of strict security procedures, not only did the sorting box have to pass X and shut down, but he also had to go through it.
This is to prevent guns, ammunition, and other contraband from entering the storage area, but fortunately, the box is not opened, and privacy is not leaked.
After passing through the security check, you will enter the personal vault area.
As soon as he walked in, Ye Tian saw many camera probes, monitoring every corner without any dead ends.
At the door of the vault, and in the security room next to it, there were six other security personnel armed to the teeth.
Automatic rifles, shotguns, pistols, military daggers, body armor, intercom communication systems, all of which are very sophisticated!
According to Ye Tian's half-army fan, their equipment is even comparable to the active duty of the US special forces!
What's more important is people! These security personnel are very tough, exuding a murderous aura, and at first glance they are battlefield elites who have been on the battlefield!
There is no doubt that these people have seen blood, and even have lives on their hands.
Although there was a little pressure on them, Ye Tian felt more relieved.
With such security personnel, coupled with the top security equipment here, no matter what kind of treasure is stored here, you don't have to worry about being robbed and stolen.
Of course, there is a possibility that you will suffer losses, and that is the self-theft.
But this possibility is also extremely low, the vault here has four or five protections, and the password is in the hands of the holder, and it is difficult to break through it all!
Almost all the thieves can be prevented here, and those who can't be prevented will definitely not look down on their own things, they should pay more attention to the works of Picasso, Monet, Cézanne, etc.
With a little emotion, I entered the formal procedure of renting a warehouse.
After going through the contract carefully, there were no problems other than the heart-wrenching $50,000 annual rent.
The next step is to visit the site, and after confirming that you are satisfied, you can sign the contract, and really have a personal treasure trove with a high safety factor here!
Through a row of sturdy fences, you will arrive at the door of the huge vault.
This alloy gate is almost three meters high, extremely thick and strong, according to Ye Tian's visual inspection, it is bombed with missiles, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to destroy this gate for a while!
The vault code was in the hands of two people, and the other was already at the door.
"Mr. Steven, please turn around, we're going to open the door"
Nelson said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Ye Tian answered, turned around very neatly, and turned his back to the warehouse.
Do you dare not turn around? Two security guards with automatic rifles are eyeing each other! Who are you crying with the butt of a rifle?
"Mr. Steven, please follow me into the vault area."
Three or four minutes later, Nelson's voice came from behind him again.
Ye Tian turned around excitedly and followed Nelson into the storage area, while the security personnel and another password holder did not come in.
The situation in the reservoir area, Ye Tian, who was watching, was directly stunned at the door.
In front of me is a huge underground space, distributed with hundreds of beehive-like dense personal vaults, extremely impactful, very shocking, showing the strength of Sotheby's.
Of course, it also shows how many rich people there are in New York!
Nelson laughed softly, and then walked inside with Ye Tian, while introducing the situation here.
"These are the top and most secure personal vaults in New York, and many of the city's wealthy elites are willing to store their antiques, art, and jewelry,......
While listening to his introduction, Ye Tian tried to see through the personal vault around him a few times.
The vault is an all-alloy structure, which is completely different from ordinary walls, ordinary walls can see through more than forty centimeters, and can basically see through, but these alloy walls cannot penetrate.
According to his calculations, the thickness of these alloy walls should be about thirty centimeters, and he can only see through half of them, and then he can't enter an inch.
Although the perspective failed, Ye Tian was not depressed.
I believe that it will not be long before this personal vault will be completely presented in front of my eyes, without any secrets!
This is probably the largest treasure trove in New York outside of a few major museums, and maybe Van Gogh is in that vault!
Soon in front of the vault ready for rent, Nelson opened the vault door with the initial password.
"Steven, please enjoy, if it's okay, you can sign the contract"
"Okay, I'll take a closer look"
Ye Tian nodded, and then walked into the vault and began to look carefully, while Nelson explained beside him.
"This personal vault is ten square meters in size, made of all-metal, and the door is thirty centimeters thick, so strong that it is almost impossible to break open.
There are four insurances, all controlled by the owner himself, namely iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, electronic password, and mechanical password, which is believed to be enough to satisfy anyone.
These open safes on the walls can be used to store things separately, and they are also the last line of defense, and the electronic code is also controlled by the renter,......"
Ye Tian took a closer look at the vault, and even took a look at it as a whole!
Everything was absolutely perfect, couldn't fault anything!
That's it!
Ye Tian made a decision.
"Mr. Nelson, I am very satisfied and can sign the contract!"
"Great! Let's get started!"
Nelson responded excitedly.
Ye Tian reviewed the contract again to prevent stealing the beams and changing the pillars, and after confirming that there was no problem, he signed the contract and really owned this private treasure house!
Then he took a picture of the contract with his mobile phone and sent it to his lawyer, David, for him to file it just in case.
With that done, he's ready to start setting up the vault password, as well as the small safe password.
After explaining the steps and methods, Nelson exited the vault and waited five or six meters away, ready to answer questions.
Ye Tian immediately began to set up, iris, fingerprint, electronic password, mechanical password, soon set up, and the password of the small safe was also set.
Then he opened the folder, took out the signed baseball and baseball card, sorted and sorted them into several small safes.
When all the treasures were put into the safe and locked, Ye Tian suddenly felt relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.
After admiring it for a few more moments, he stepped out of the vault and closed the heavy alloy door.
It's time to leave!
......
Welch had been waiting for almost two hours, and it was getting dark!
Just as he was about to lose his patience and prepare to leave, the Chevrolet reappeared and drove out of the Sotheby's garage.
What is surprising is that the car drove directly towards itself, and it was too late to hide!
Chevrolet arrived next to Welch's car in a blink of an eye, Ye Tian opened the window and said with a smile:
"Mr. Welch, I have good news for you, Sotheby's will have a preview of the Yankees baseball collection in the near future, if you are a Yankee fan, then you must not miss it, otherwise you will definitely regret it! Okay, that's all, it's a beautiful night tonight! Enjoy! See you soon!"
When he had said that, he laughed and closed the window, drove down the next tail, and continued to repeat the words.
Welch was directly, slapping the steering wheel frantically, and cursing incessantly.
"Fake! Damn bastard, I'm not done with you!"
At the same time, he was also extremely embarrassed!
It turned out that Ye Tian had already found out that someone was following him and had been teasing, and he was still waiting here like a fool, he was really stupid!
The encounter of the other two tails was the same as Welch, and they were also fiercely ridiculed by Ye Tian.
Then he laughed and said:
Let's go eat the best French food in New York, stay at the best Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and live life to the fullest!"
"Wow! That's great! It's a perfect day!"
To Jason's pleasantly surprised cheers, the Chevrolet Sorod roared and rushed out.
