Chapter 418: The Real Purpose (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)
Betty looked at Ye Tian puzzled, full of question marks.
What kind of play is this? Didn't you promise Kane to look at Sherman's marching notes? Why did you suddenly change your mind? This is not Steven's way of doing things!
Melissa was also puzzled, and her eyes showed a little unhappiness.
Regarding Kane's questioning, Ye Tian just smiled and didn't care.
"Don't worry, Kane, while I won't show you Sherman's marching notes, it doesn't prevent you from understanding what is written in this notebook!"
"Ahh
Kane exclaimed, his eyes suddenly began to glow, and they became extremely bright in an instant!
Hope to come up again!
"That's right, it's a photo! I took a picture of part of the note with my phone, so that it is easier to study and will not damage the original notebook!"
Ye Tian nodded with a smile and gave an affirmative answer.
"That notebook has been sealed for too long, and it is very precious, it really should be taken more care, any damage is unforgivable! I wonder how many photos you took?
"I only took a quarter of the notes, including the history of the Sherman army in Chattanooga until the occupation of Atlanta, which is very detailed and surprising!
Today I will give you photos of the first ten pages, and the rest will be talked about later, although the number of photos is not much, but the amount of information is definitely not small, you will definitely find surprises in it!"
"Ah! It's only ten pictures! That's too little! Why don't you give me all of them? I don't understand that!"
Kane asked, puzzled, he wanted more, preferably the whole notebook!
Melissa and Betty were equally puzzled, both looking at Ye Tian, expecting him to give a reasonable explanation.
"It's normal that you don't understand, but have you thought about it, I'm not a historian, let alone an archaeologist, I'm a professional treasure hunter, and treasure hunting is my business!
Sherman's marching notes are a commodity to me, and for the sake of maximizing profits, I can't make them completely public!
Until the book is not auctioned, I will only publish a quarter of the content at most, which can be used both to prove the value of the note and to hype the book.
You may not sound very comfortable, but this is the reality, it's my choice, and no one can change it! So I can only give you ten photos at the moment, no more!"
Ye Tian explained the reason, his tone was calm, but there was no doubt.
The scene fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Tian dumbfounded, unable to say a word.
It really deserves to come out of Wall Street! The abacus is too fine! The cunning is extreme!
Kane has already woken up, and the kid in front of him is playing a conspiracy, and it is clear that Che Ma wants to use himself to build momentum for this marching notebook in order to obtain greater benefits!
As long as you find something in these ten photos and get research results, no matter how big or small the results are, the biggest beneficiary is the kid in front of you!
He'll use this to push the price of this notebook even higher and make a lot of money!
Although he understood this, he was also a little unwilling, but Kane found that he had no choice but to be used by the bad boy in front of him!
No wonder this kid can mix with the wind and water! There are so many eyes in his heart, it's like a hornet's nest! Who has played with him!
Kane secretly sighed a few words, and had to accept the reality!
Who let Sherman's marching notes do not belong to him, and are full of temptation, he can only admit it!
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"Kane, if you want to know the full content of the note, you can only wait for this note to be photographed, and the person who gets the note will publish it, I believe that this day is not far off!"
Steven, you are such a cunning boy, no one wants to take advantage of you, admire!"
Kane said angrily, giving a thumbs up.
"Hahaha"
Melissa and Betty both laughed and gave thumbs up.
"No way, treasure hunting is like this, everyone has countless hearts, and habits become natural!"
Ye Tian pretended to be helpless and said, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Alright, Steven, send me those ten photos, I can't wait, the contents of the photos must be very exciting!"
Kane said as he rubbed his hands together, his eyebrows fluttering with excitement and his eyes full of anticipation.
"You'd better find a laptop that way to see more clearly and more carefully, and trust me, you're going to find surprises!"
After speaking, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and began to send pictures.
Meanwhile.
Melissa brought her laptop and placed it on the table in front of everyone for Kane to use.
Picture transfer is instantaneous!
In the blink of an eye, these photos were displayed on the computer screen, and one of the most authentic histories of the American Civil War was presented to everyone.
Kane and Melissa immediately threw themselves in front of their computers and excitedly began to check the contents of their notes.
"There is no doubt that this is indeed General Sherman's marching notes! I have carefully studied his handwriting during this time, and the two are exactly the same!
Although this is a marching notebook, between the lines, we can see the social formation of the American South in the nineteenth century, which is of great value for research!"
The two professors studied the contents of the notes and discussed in a low voice, comparing them with the relevant historical knowledge they knew.
The taste of joy is evident in their words.
Obviously, both of them have gained something from these photos.
They were so focused on checking their notes that they had forgotten that there were two people in the office.
Ye Tian and Betty were also happy, chatting and waiting in a low voice, not in a hurry, anyway, it would be okay today!
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and the two professors looked at the ten photos several times, and they were almost memorized, so they took their eyes off the photos and looked at Ye Tian and Betty.
"Thank you so much, Steven! This is a very precious gift! Although there are only ten photographs, the information they reveal is enough to shake the American historiography!"
Kane said excitedly, and he was about to give Ye Tian the warmest hug.
Melissa next to her was the same, her already excited face was flushed, and she was smiling very happily.
"You're welcome, Kane, you're an expert on American history, and these photographs are only of the most valuable value when they are in your hands!
In addition to these photos of Sherman's marching notes, I am here today for another purpose, I want to ask you for help with something, I wonder if you agree?"
Ye Tian praised Kane twice, and then began to say the real purpose.
The foreshadowing is complete, and the picture is exhausted!
"Tell me what, if I can help, I'll do my best!"
Kane nodded and looked at Ye Tian curiously.
This cunning guy doesn't know what's going on? Maybe that's his main purpose.
Melissa and Betty also looked at Ye Tian curiously, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd!
"It's not a difficult task, it's easy for you, and I would like to ask you to help introduce an expert in Latin American history, preferably who has studied pirate culture and has presided over or participated in relevant archaeological work!"
Ye Tian explained the reason, his demeanor was very relaxed, and his tone was understated.
But these words sounded to Kane's ears like a thunderbolt from the sky, almost knocking him out.
"Oh my God, Steven, don't say you've found pirate treasure and you're going to dig it up, so find a Latin American historian who has studied pirates!"
Kane said in shock, his eyes full of incredulity.
Melissa and Betty also exclaimed, looking at Ye Tian in disbelief, their eyes widening!
"That's right, Kane, I do have information on a pirate treasure, and there is a treasure map, and after careful identification, I am very sure that the treasure map is genuine, from Latin America in the early 19th century!"
Ye Tian didn't hide anything, and said it frankly.
Cocos Island is home to a vast treasure trove of pirate treasures that people all over the world know and need to hide there!
As for whether you can find the treasure, it's up to you!
"Wow! Sure enough, it's a pirate treasure, a treasure left by that pirate? Where is it? I'm very interested, and if I can, I'd like to be a part of it!"
Kane asked excitedly, and he was about to dance.
Dig up pirate treasures! What an exciting thing, that man doesn't yearn for it, since you have met it, how can you miss it, no matter what, you have to participate in it!
"It's the treasure left by Captain William Thompson, the famous Lima treasure!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his tone was calm, but the content was shocking!
"Treasure of Lima! How is that possible?"
Kane yelled and jumped straight from the couch.
