Chapter 628: Morning in New York (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Rewards)
In the early morning, the darkness is gradually dissipating.
Ye Tian slipped down from the side of the bed, walked barefoot to the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the master bedroom, gently opened the curtains, and quietly enjoyed the scenery in the Central Park across the street.
Outside the window, the sky was covered with snow, and goose feather-like snowflakes poured down one after another, completely covering the city of New York City made of steel and concrete.
After a night, all the people in Central Park have disappeared without a trace, and they have returned to their original state, and everything seems so quiet and beautiful!
It's the fourth day back in New York, and it's finally time to enjoy life without being so busy!
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, followed by the most important holiday in the West, Christmas!
Obviously, it's going to be a snowy Christmas! The atmosphere is great, but I just don't know what Santa Claus will bring and whether it will please everyone?
Ye Tian didn't know about other people's situations, and he wasn't interested in understanding them.
But he was so sure that all the employees of his company, David and his assistants, and the twenty armed security guards of Raytheon, each would receive the best Christmas present!
For them, this Christmas is sure to be perfect and something to remember forever!
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and enjoying the beautiful scenery in the snow for a while, Ye Tian turned around and walked towards the gym downstairs, ready to sweat and make himself stronger!
At this time, Betty was still lying on her side on the big bed, immersed in a beautiful and sweet dream, with a happy smile on her face!
On the day he returned to New York, Ye Tian did not immediately lead a huge convoy back to the company, nor did he go to the logistics base on 78th Street, but went straight to 270 Park Avenue in Manhattan, the headquarters of **** bank.
The reason why I went there is because **** has an underground vault that is second only to the Federal Reserve in terms of security.
Unlike the Federal Reserve, the underground vault of **** is rented out to the outside world and is open to private individuals or companies.
Ye Tian rented a private vault with an area of about 50 square meters in **** to preserve a large number of top antique artworks that arrived in New York.
However, he didn't keep all the top antique artworks in this underground vault!
Although **** has an outstanding reputation and is very trustworthy, who can guarantee that nothing will happen?
That private vault is impregnable, and the things kept inside are all stolen and top-notch antique artworks from the underground palace of the Old North Church!
Among them, there are not only Ye Tian's proportional antique artworks, but also many ownerless top antique artworks, but none of them are from China!
After leaving the **** headquarters, they went to the Sotheby's auction house not far away.
In the underground vault of Sotheby's auction house, Ye Tian also rented a private vault with a very high security level and put all the Chinese antiques and artworks in it.
Of course, that doesn't include the antique artworks that he plans to bring back to his apartment to collect and admire for himself.
There are antique jade, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings from China, as well as the painting "The Girl Who Released the Goose", which everyone thinks is a fake, and two Model 1748 Hawkins pistols!
Without exception, every piece of antique art he brought back to the apartment was of the highest quality, and it was something he liked very much!
By the time the convoy left Sotheby's, night had completely enveloped New York, but everyone was still in high spirits and full of energy.
The final stop of the convoy was the company's logistics base at the east end of 78th Street.
There is also a vault on the fourth floor of the logistics base, which belongs exclusively to the Brave Intrepid Exploration Company, and the security level is not low!
Stored here are antique firearms and antique military supplies from the War of Independence.
In the next period of time, these items that are not too valuable will gradually flow into the antique market in New York and other surrounding cities, and gradually convert into the most practical dollars.
In addition to making money, the company's employees can also use these antique firearms and military supplies to practice their skills and familiarize themselves with the antique markets in New York and surrounding cities.
Because of this, Ye Tiancai put these things in the vault of the logistics base, so that the company's employees could come and pick up the goods at any time.
By the time I had done this, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
It was only then that everyone was able to go back to their homes where they had been away for a week and have a good rest, as did Ye Tian and Betty, as well as David.
The next day, the company had a holiday, and most of the employees rested at home.
Ye Tian was still busy with his feet not touching the ground.
He took Jason and Matisse, as well as David and Anderson, along with a few company employees, and went back and forth between the three vaults, counting every piece of antique art.
When he returned to his apartment on 110th Street, it was another starry night!
The rest of the day was the same, still busy.
In this way, he also politely declined invitations and meeting requests from many local New York antique art professionals, otherwise he would have been even more busy.
After three consecutive days of high-intensity operation, the things that should be handled are almost done! From today onwards, the pace can be slowed down a little, and you can enjoy life to the fullest!
About an hour after entering the gym, when Ye Tian was practicing his fighting skills in the octagon cage with a fighting dummy, Betty pushed open the door and walked in wearing a sportswear!
Seeing her come in, Ye Tian immediately stopped practicing, put the fighting dummy aside, and then walked out of the octagonal cage.
"Good morning, dear, did you sleep well last night?"
As he spoke, Ye Tian had already walked up to Betty and kissed her.
"Good morning, dear, I slept very well, very comfortable! When did you get up? I don't feel it at all!"
Betty chuckled in response, and at the same time began to stretch her body and warm up before exercising!
"I've been up for more than an hour, and I didn't wake you up when I saw that you were sleeping soundly, and by the way, I forgot to ask last night, when will Matthew and Evelyn come to New York?"
At the invitation of Ye Tian, the old man's family was ready to come to New York for Christmas, so he asked this question.
"They leave early tomorrow morning, and if all goes well, they should be in New York around 10 a.m."
"The roads may be congested during Christmas, and with this heavy snowfall, the road conditions may not be optimistic, so if you look back and pay attention, if the road conditions are really bad, let them stop driving!
Go back and ask George to pick them up in an Airbus H155 so they don't get stuck in a traffic jam, and besides, are you ready for their Christmas gifts? If not, let's buy them today!"
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the road, the Christmas presents are already ready, what about yours, what are you going to give to Matthew?"
Betty nodded, then asked with a little curiosity.
You'll find out on Christmas Day, and I'm sure Matthew will love it!"
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head, temporarily selling out.
"By the way, you asked George to fly a helicopter to pick up Matthew tomorrow, won't George go back to Fairbanks for Christmas?"
"He's going to stay in New York and see how Christmas here is different from Alaska, and his family should be arriving in New York today and coming here for Christmas!"
"I see, that's great! There's a lot to do at Christmas in New York, so there's enough for them to have a few days of fun!"
After chatting a few words, Betty walked towards the treadmill in the window, while Ye Tian walked to the power zone on the other side and went to move the iron to masochism!
