Chapter 420: New York Autumn Auction (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)
Three days later, Ye Tian received a joint reply from Douglas and another professor.
The answer is yes, and they decided to accept the invitation to participate in a treasure hunt in Cocos Island, Costa Rica, where they will dig up the world-famous treasures of Lima together.
In this treasure hunt, they participated as professors of Columbus History and were responsible for archaeological research, and Columbia University agreed to the joint operation.
Like Ye Tian's previous proposal, the two professors will apply to the Costa Rican government for permission to explore treasures under the banner of Columbia University's history department.
If the Lima treasure is found, then every piece of treasure excavated must pass through the hands of two professors, who have carefully identified and studied it before it can be sold or auctioned off.
Columbia University will enjoy all the academic research results, and perhaps Costa Rican research institutions will be involved in the future, but that's all for later!
And in addition to the Costa Rican government, Columbia University will have the second-in-line right of first refusal, which can buy the excavated treasure first.
Of course, the purchase price must be based on the market price, and it cannot harm Ye Tian's interests!
If you can't find the treasure of Lima, it's just an empty rejoice, that's a different story!
As the initiator of the action, Ye Tian will compensate the history department of Columbia University with 2 million US dollars to make up for their so-called losses, who knows what they have lost!
In the treasure hunt, Columbia University does not have to pay a penny, and all the expenses are borne by Ye Tian.
Even the pre-application fees, travel expenses for personnel exchanges, and accommodation expenses are all paid by Ye Tian, and Columbia University can enjoy it.
Although he was a little angry, Ye Tian could only grit his teeth and accept it.
Who makes the family an Ivy League school with huge energy! I can only admit it, and this is the first cooperation between the two sides, so it doesn't matter if I suffer a loss.
Wait for buddy to make a name for himself in the archaeological circle! Let's see who is begging whom?
At that point, if you at Columbia University don't accept buddy's conditions, then split up!
And Harvard University, and Princeton University! The history departments of these prestigious schools are just as good! The influence is no worse than that of your Colombia!
After reaching a cooperation intention, Ye Tian quickly signed a cooperation agreement with two professors of the Department of History, witnessed by the lawyers of both parties.
The preliminary work began immediately, and it was mainly Douglas who came forward to do some preparatory work, contacted the Costa Rican government, and began to apply for a treasure exploration permit.
During this period, Ye Tian didn't have much to do, in addition to grasping the overall direction, there was only one thing left to cooperate, and there was also money to pay for related expenses.
The treasure exploration permit will definitely not be able to be taken in the short term, and even if it is taken, it will not be able to start acting now.
If you want to go to Cocos Island to explore the treasure, you have to go after March next year, preferably in June and July.
At that time, the climate and sea conditions of Cocos Island were the best, and it was the best place to explore treasures!
Two more days passed.
The flat-top dining car with the front and rear doors smashed was sent back after the overhaul and thrown on the side of the road in front of the apartment, which was very eye-catching!
When he has nothing to do, Ye Tian occasionally drives this car out, participates in some warehouse auctions in New York City, and sweeps the treasures at the door of his house, which is the right to adjust his life!
More often than not, Jason is using the car, and that's what makes the most of it!
Every day, he would load a few antiques into this car, the ones under $100,000, and drive this flat-headed food truck all over New York!
In the many antique shops and antique markets in New York, it is common to see him peddling antiques, and he is very busy!
Bowie, too, drove his pickup truck to sell the rest of his antiques all over New York after delivering most of the antique art to Christie's.
He ran farther, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland and other surrounding states, you can see his pickup, very busy, but willing, full of motivation!
The two often meet in some antique stores in New York, or in antique markets, and they get along quite well!
It's just that every time Jason comes back, he complains and scolds that Texas cowboy for stealing his business, and at the same time, he is also very surprised, how Bowie has so many antique artworks, it seems that there are more than himself!
He knew that this Texas cowboy was the same as himself, and all the antique artworks were also swept from the 127 corridor under Ye Tian's secret guidance!
Within a few days, Jason and Bowie were two sought-after figures, and their names reached the ears of everyone in New York's antiques dealers.
Everyone knows that these two guys have a lot of antique art in their hands.
Although the value of their antique artworks is relatively average and not too expensive, they are definitely genuine, not a single fake, and they are very trustworthy!
And these two guys offer a fair price, and they rarely ask for a sky-high price!
Gradually, some small antique stores in New York City began to reach out to them, buying antique art from them and selling them out.
As a result, Jason and Bowie are able to process their inventory a lot faster, and it won't be long before they can get all their inventory processed!
By the way, the reputation of the two is getting louder and louder, and they seem to be already stars in the industry!
And Ye Tian, who was standing behind them, was completely idle.
He now spends his days visiting museums, learning about antique art, exercising, training at mixed martial arts clubs, practicing army fighting with Matisse, shooting at the shooting range, and so on.
While enjoying life, he can also make money every day, and his life is extremely nourishing, more beautiful than the gods!
A few days after the flat-head food truck returned, the President Escalade Bulletproof SUV that remained in Lexington, Kentucka Kid, was also sent back to New York.
The No. 71 highway incident has been closed, the case is clear and clear, there is no doubt, and there is no need for the police to continue to detain these evidences, so they naturally have to return them to Ye Tian.
They were also sent back with the automatic rifles that had been left at the scene of the incident and used as evidence.
They were the AK74M left at the Lexington Police Department, and the G36K left at the Jamestown Police Department in Tennessee, along with the dogleg saber.
The matter of Corridor 127 is completely over, and there is no aftermath.
Several attorneys in Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee also ended their respective jobs, and each received a check with a string of surprising numbers written on it!
After President Escalade 1 was sent back to New York, Ye Tian sent the car for overhaul.
It won't be long before this bulletproof SUV will be completely renovated and put into service again.
In the future, as long as he is in New York City, Ye Tian still plans to use Rafa and President No. 1 to travel, and only when he leaves New York, will he use the Marauders!
The Paramount Marauder is so eye-catching! It's a bit exaggerated to drive on the streets of New York! And it's so big that parking is a hassle!
Of course, President Escalade No. 1 is also very eye-catching, but it's a little more low-key!
In the blink of an eye, the first week of October has passed.
On October 7th, the long-awaited New York Autumn Auction officially kicked off.
It's time to harvest dollars like crazy!
At ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and Betty came to the Sotheby's Building in Lower Manhattan to participate in the first auction of Sotheby's New York Autumn Auction.
Antique Furniture Auction Special!
Walking into the auction hall, Ye Tian raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance, Dennis, the director of Sotheby's antique furniture department.
At the same time, Dennis also saw them and immediately walked over quickly.
"Steven, Betty, good morning, you're here just in time, the auction is about to start!"
"Good morning, Dennis, this is the first New York Autumn Auction, of course I can't be late, I hope I can get a surprise!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Betty next to her was the same, excitedly looking at the scene.
"Don't worry, Steven, you're sure to get a big surprise, there are several buyers here who are here for that set of royal furniture, and the competition will be fierce!"
"Hahaha, that's great! The more competitive, the better, I love that kind of scene!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle.
After chatting for a few more words, Dennis said goodbye and left, and Ye Tian went to get the bidding number plate, took Betty forward, and prepared to take a seat!
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Steven, wait a minute!"
He spoke Mandarin, which was very pleasant to listen to.
Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at the door, with a little surprise!
