Chapter 625: Pit the U.S. Department of the Interior (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Rewards)
It's a new day, the sun is shining!
After breakfast, everyone immediately got busy.
Almost all the employees of the company gathered in the banquet hall and began to pack the antique artworks that had been determined to belong to Ye Tian and belonged to the brave and fearless exploration company.
This includes the ownerless antique artworks from the underground palace of the Old North Church, as well as the Chinese antiques that were just purchased last night, which are quite staggering!
Just when everyone's busy feet didn't touch the ground, Ye Tian was not in the banquet hall of the Bartley Hotel.
At nine o'clock, he left the hotel with Betty, Mattis, and David in the Paramount Marauders, and went to the nearby Boston branch of the Bank of America.
The purpose of their visit is to cash in on the cheques they received last night and convert the numbers written on the cheques into real deposits in the company's bank account!
For the rest of the day, they stayed at the bank, didn't come out of it until about eleven o'clock, and then drove back to the Bartley Hotel.
When the rugged Paramount Marauder roared out of the parking lot in front of the bank, the parking lot burst into an almost frantic cheer.
The bank manager who sent Ye Tian and them out, wearing a thin suit, danced the tango alone in the cold wind on the streets of Boston, with an extremely intoxicated expression!
Whether this bank manager's dancing is beautiful or not is not said for the time being, but the way he dances with his hands and feet is like a hopelessly deep psychopath!
Every pedestrian passing by the bank is sure of this!
At the same time, the inside of the bank, which was not far away, was completely drowned out by the cheers of excitement!
The reason why this happened was because Ye Tian, who had just left the bank, was the check in his hand that was enough to make everyone crazy!
After returning to the hotel, the two of them quickly got into packing and packing.
Apart from them, the others who stayed in the north building of the Bartley Wharf Hotel were not idle.
The Airbus H155, parked on the apron on the roof of the hotel, is very busy!
It wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon that there was a little silence in the ballroom of the Bartley Dock Hotel.
Museum directors and famous collectors from all over the world have left Boston with their top antique works of art and returned to their respective countries or cities!
Without exception, when they walked out of this ballroom, each of them was contented and everyone had a big smile on their faces!
For them, the trip to Boston was perfect, and everyone got what they wanted!
Soon, some of them will surely return to Boston to retrieve more of the top antique art that has been stolen for a long time from the FBI's Art Crime Unit!
But that has nothing to do with Ye Tian, the transaction between him and these people has been completely completed, and the result is extremely perfect, and everyone is happy!
When we meet again, we may be friends and can have a good time, but we can't rule out the possibility of becoming strangers or even enemies!
"Mr. Tony, I wish you a pleasant journey and a nice trip!"
"Steven, if you have the chance, you must come to Milan, I'm pretty sure you're going to fall in love with the city!
"Thank you, I will definitely go to Milan if I have the chance, let's say goodbye, see you later!"
After sending several people from the Milan Cultural Museum to the Airbus H155 helicopter, Ye Tian took Matisse back to the banquet hall again.
At this time, apart from those antique guns and military supplies, there were no more antique artworks in the banquet hall that belonged to other people or other museums!
All the remaining antique artworks here belong to Ye Tian and the Brave Fearless Exploration Company.
The next thing to do is to share the spoils with the Department of the Interior's Advisory Committee on Heritage Preservation, and then you can evacuate Boston and return to New York!
The target of the two sides was the antique guns and other military supplies from the War of Independence.
In this batch of antiques, Ye Tian occupies 60% of the share, and the US Department of the Interior accounts for 40%.
......
Afternoon came quickly.
At two o'clock, the door of the ballroom opened again.
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Advisory Committee on Historic Heritage Preservation walked into the banquet hall, and this was a group of guys who had rushed to share the spoils.
After chatting a few words, Ye Tian took the gang to the corner where antique guns and military supplies were piled up, and the spoils distribution meeting began.
"Mr. Brown, there are a lot of antique guns in this batch, it's too troublesome to open and inspect them one by one, and there's no need for that, we've checked a few boxes before, and there's nothing else here except the guns!
Therefore, I suggest that we allocate them according to the category of firearms, right? This will not only save a lot of trouble, but also save a lot of time, and it will be more conducive to the protection of these antique firearms!"
Ye Tian pointed to the pile of crates in front of him and said, the suggestion sounds very reasonable and irrefutable!
But how did the people at the scene know that his purpose was not these antique Suifa rifles, but two British Model 1748 Hawkins Suifa pistols hidden in one of the crates.
That's the most valuable antique firearm here, and it's the treasure he's bound to get!
As long as he didn't open the crates and inspect them one by one, he was able to get these two rare antique pistols.
If you open the box and these two antique pistols are found by the guys from the Ministry of the Interior, you can only take one of them at most, or even one of them, and you may be swept away by the guys from the Ministry of the Interior!
You must know that it was this pistol that Washington used back then, and there were only a few in the United States, and each one of them was very valuable and of great significance! How could these guys from the Department of the Interior let it go?
In order not to beat the eggs, he made this suggestion!
As for whether the guys from the Ministry of the Interior will find a future account after the two antique pistols come out, then there is no need to worry!
There is a contract that both parties agree to, and you can still bite me?
Ye Tian's proposal was reasonable, and there seemed to be no reason to oppose it.
After a few words of discussion in a low voice, Brown nodded and said:
"Okay, Steven, we accept your proposal, the number of these antique guns is indeed too much, let's divide them according to the category and the proportion agreed in advance!
However, those antique cavalry swords and officers' swords cannot be distributed in this way, they must be carefully screened and evaluated one by one, those things are of higher value, and we must safeguard the interests of the US government!
And those well-preserved British and American uniforms, as well as all kinds of metal fittings on military uniforms, must also be distributed strictly proportionally, not a single less!"
Great!
Ye Tian secretly cheered, but his mouth said very sincerely:
"Of course, the distribution must be made in strict accordance with the contract signed in advance, you have to protect the interests of the US government, and I don't want my own interests to be damaged!"
Brown nodded, then asked with a little curiosity:
"Okay! Then let's do it! Ask more, what are you going to do with these antique guns and munitions? That's a lot of them!"
"Such a large number of antique guns and military supplies must not be pushed to the antique market at once, which will lead to a sharp drop in prices and not make much money!
I'm going to take my time to make sure I get the most out of it, antique gun lovers, museums, Hollywood studios, etc., these are all potential customers!"
"Yes, you guy is so shrewd that you don't miss any opportunity to make money, you're so persistent!"
Brown sighed a few words, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes!
After a few more words, the spoils were divided.
U.S. Department of the Interior staff entered the ballroom, and the Intrepid Discovery employees sprang into action, beginning to proportionally distribute the antique firearms and munitions.
During this period, Ye Tian smoothly pulled the crate containing the Hawkins sui gun to his side, and the action was very natural, without attracting anyone's attention, and it was a small pit for the US government!
After doing this, he walked to the side contentedly, chatting with Brown and watching Jason and them work.
Before four o'clock, Brown and the others left the Bartley Hotel with a large number of antique firearms and military supplies, and the spoils were officially over.
When they left, Ye Tian immediately called Jason to his side and whispered:
"Jason, you lead everyone to sort out these antique guns and munitions, pack everything that can be packed, and get ready to return to New York.
I'm going to the FBI Boston branch to coordinate the escorts and see what they do, and we're going to leave for New York tomorrow morning at the latest!"
"Okay, I'll leave it to me, I'll be able to do it soon!"
Jason nodded excitedly, very confident.
Afterwards, Ye Tian left the banquet hall with David, and Matisse and Walker followed.
Walking out of the hotel banquet hall, Mattis mobilized four more Raytheon armed security guards to set off to take charge of the security of the trip.
A few minutes later, the Paramount Marauder and a Chevrolet Saaban bulletproof SUV drove out of the hotel parking lot and headed straight for the FBI Boston office!
This time to the FBI Boston Branch, in addition to coordinating the escort mission when he returns to New York tomorrow, Ye Tian also has more important goals
That is the famous French painter François Millet's top famous painting, "The Girl Who Released the Goose"
During the arrest of Andrew, this top-notch painting naturally fell into the hands of the FBI, and is currently in the warehouse of the FBI Boston branch!
Due to the existence of the Walters Museum of Art's "Girl with a Goose", this sister painting in the FBI warehouse has been judged to be a fake by some idiot experts!
For this famous painting, Ye Tian is determined to get it, how could he let go of this kind of God-given opportunity!
If he doesn't make a move, God knows if this top-notch painting will end up there, and it may even be used as a chopping wood by some blind guys!
In that case, let's let buddies be art saviors again!
