On the penultimate day before the New Year, Ye Tian and Betty returned to New York on the Bombardier Global Express 8000.

Originally, they wanted to stay in Kentucky for two more days, not only to hide quietly, but also to increase their relationship with Jueying, and then return to New York after the New Year, but they had no choice but to be urged, so they had to come back early!

The person who urged them to go back to New York was sitting in the conference room of the Brave Dauntless Exploration Company at this time, just opposite Ye Tian.

And he is also an old acquaintance and a possible future collaborator, Wilson, the general manager of Raytheon Security.

He was joined by a lawyer from their company, as well as several armed security guards.

After a few polite words, Ye Tian immediately began to ask the other party's intentions.

"Mr. Wilson, tell me about the treasure information you have discovered, I am very interested, if this treasure does exist and has a certain value, then we can cooperate in treasure hunting!

That's why Ye Tian returned to New York!

The guy on the other side passed a message through Matisse, saying that they had found a very valuable treasure and wanted to cooperate with the Brave Explorer Company to explore the treasure!

But they didn't reveal the location of this treasure, nor did they say what was inside, but they just said conclusively that there was such a treasure!

Of course, you can't miss the treasure! So Ye Tiancai returned to New York ahead of schedule.

"Okay, Steven"

Wilson nodded in response, and then began to introduce the treasure information.

"The news about this treasure was gathered by our company's intelligence officers in Jamaica, who are all Jamaican natives and are very familiar with the place!

After leaving you a few days ago, we immediately notified intelligence officers around the world and told them to pay attention to all kinds of information about the treasure, and I didn't expect to hear back so quickly, which is a surprise!

This is a shipwreck treasure in the Caribbean Sea, which was wrecked about 300 years ago, at the beginning of the 18th century, as an ocean-going treasure ship between Spain and Colombia!

Rumors have been circulating in Jamaica and off the coast of Colombia for 300 years, and according to legend, this treasure ship was loaded with countless gold, silver and jewelry, worth at least four or five billion dollars!

Although the legend of this treasure is widespread, it has not been discovered for three hundred years, and the wreck is still lying on the bottom of the Caribbean Sea, waiting to be discovered, and we hope that the discoverer is our ,......"

"Stop!

Wilson was talking about it, but he was suddenly interrupted by Ye Tian.

Anyone who is forcibly interrupted is somewhat unpleasant, and Wilson is no exception.

After stopping the introduction, his eyes when he looked at Ye Tian already had a hint of anger, but he was more puzzled!

The answer was soon revealed, and Ye Tian chuckled and said:

"Wow! Caribbean shipwreck treasure! is indeed very attractive, there are indeed countless shipwrecks in that area, and it also contains great wealth, full of temptation and desirable!

But according to your introduction, the gold, silver and jewelry worth four or five billion dollars are the Spanish treasure ship from Colombia, and the more I hear it, the more it looks like the famous 'San Jose' treasure ship.

If it's really the San Jose treasure ship, then it's best to dispel this idea as soon as possible! There are so many people staring at this treasure that no matter how much we turn it, this treasure will not fall into our hands!

The U.S. Odyssey Ocean Exploration Company, the governments of Colombia, Spain, Peru and Ecuador are all eyeing the belongings of the San Jose, how can it be our turn?

What's more, the sinking site of this super treasure carrier is within Colombian territorial waters, and I don't want to work for the Colombian government for free, let alone work in vain!"

The San Jose treasure ship that Ye Tian mentioned is famous in history.

This is a large Galen ocean-going sailing ship with a displacement of 1,200 tons, built and launched in 1698, belonging to the Spanish Navy, equipped with 64 guns, and powerful firepower!

In June 1708, the San Jose began its final voyage loaded with countless gold, silver and jewels plundered by Spanish colonists in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and other Latin American colonies!

It departed from the port of Cartagena, Colombia, in order to transport this vast wealth to Spain mainland and provide financial support to Spain, which was at war with the British.

However, the British soon got the news through an informant that the San Jose's fleet had been ambushed by a British fleet shortly after it set sail.

Next, of course, it was a bloody battle.

Eventually, the San Jose was sunk and sank into the depths of the Caribbean Sea with countless gold and silver treasures!

According to historical records, the various gold and silver treasures on board the San Jose totaled 200 tons.

Among them, there were 11 million gold coins, and the total value of the ship's wealth at that time was more than 12 million pesos, which is worth at least $1 billion at today's market prices!

Some appraisal agencies even believe that the value of these gold and silver treasures should be between $4 billion and $17 billion!

Because of this huge wealth, the San Jose is also known as "the best of shipwrecks" in the treasure hunting community.

As a professional treasure hunter, Ye Tian naturally knows this shipwreck very well.

In the three hundred years since the sinking of the San Jose, countless treasure hunters and Caribbean governments have been playing with the idea of the wreck, trying to salvage this huge fortune and make a windfall!

But unfortunately, for 300 years, people have not been able to find the exact location of this wreck, let alone salvage the gold and silver treasures inside!

It wasn't until the 80s of the last century that the famous American treasure hunting company, Odyssey Ocean Exploration, announced that it had found the San Jose and was ready to salvage it!

It's just that no one thought that before the salvage work began, the battle for the ownership of the huge amount of gold, silver and jewelry in the sunken ship had already begun in full swing!

First, there was a lawsuit between Odyssey Discovery and the Colombian government, and soon after, the governments of Spain, Peru and Ecuador joined in.

The most advantageous of this is undoubtedly the Colombian government!

As long as they declare that this treasure ship belongs to the Colombian government, then no one will have a problem!

Who let this treasure ship sink within the territorial waters of others?

For such a pool of muddy water, Ye Tian is naturally reluctant to go to it, there are treasures, why do you have to make trouble for yourself?

Hearing Ye Tian's explanation, Wilson suddenly became stunned, and the unhappiness in his eyes quickly dissipated.

Immediately afterward, he explained:

"Steven, you're mistaken, I'm not talking about the shipwreck treasure of the 'San José', but a treasure ship that departed from the port of Cartagena and returned to Spain twelve years after it sank!

The ship, called the Princess of Malaga, was an ocean-going schooner with a displacement of 800 tons, which was neither as large as the San Jose nor carried as much gold and silver treasure.

What's more, the site of its sinking is not within the territorial waters of any one country! According to the information sent back by intelligence officers, the site of sinking is located on the high seas between Jamaica and Colombia!"

Hearing this, a hint of joy immediately flashed on Ye Tian's face.

"That's great! If it's a shipwreck on the high seas, 90% of the treasure that is salvaged belongs to the salvage, and the Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage has no restraining effect on the American treasure hunting company!

If it is a shipwreck within the territorial waters of other countries, it will be very troublesome, and even if you can't eat mutton, you will get into trouble, and I have always stayed away from such unnecessary trouble!"

"I see what you mean, Steven, but rest assured, this is a shipwreck on the high seas!"

Wilson nodded in the affirmative.

"One more thing, is there an exact wreck of the Malaga Princess, or a rough range, and it would be perfect if there was a treasure map!

Even the high seas between two small countries are quite vast, and without these, finding this shipwreck treasure is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the hope is very slim!"

"There is a treasure map that has been circulating for a long time, which should be more credible, but according to this chart, no one has found the wreck, and the general location can only be determined by it.

Our company personnel conducted a comprehensive analysis of all the information collected, and roughly determined a search scope, I brought the relevant information, you can take a look at it first, and then make a decision!"

As he spoke, Wilson opened his briefcase and took out a printed chart and other materials, and stretched out his hand to hand it to Ye Tian.

Next, Ye Tian and Matisse began to carefully study the charts.

At the same time, they also opened their laptops, compared the chart with modern maps, and looked up information about this shipwreck treasure online!

Wilson told Ye Tian all the information they had learned, without reservation!

Time flies, and an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

After the meeting, Wilson and the others stood up and prepared to leave the place.

Before leaving, he stretched out his hand to Ye Tian and said with a smile:

"Steven, I hope you decide soon, I look forward to hearing good news!"

"As for whether we can cooperate to explore this shipwreck treasure, I can't say now, everything will have to wait until we have a field trip, and only with investigation can we have the right to speak!

Please rest assured that since it is the treasure information you provide, then I will not leave you alone, I hope we have a chance to work together!"

Ye Tian held Wilson's hand and said, giving the other party a reassurance.

Then, Wilson left with a group of men, with a satisfied smile!

In the conference room, Ye Tian said to Matisse while packing up his things:

"It looks like I'm going to fly to Puerto Rico, if you can find this shipwreck treasure, it's the best, if you can't find it, it's a trip, the Caribbean is the most beautiful time now!"

"Why Puerto Rico? and not Jamaica or Colombia?

Mattis asked, surprised, slightly puzzled.

"Jamaica and Colombia are so messy, full of drugs and gangs and kidnapping! I don't want to go to those two countries, and I don't want to be a fat sheep in the eyes of others!

Although the situation in Puerto Rico is also very bad, it can be better under the United States! And it is not far from Jamaica and Colombia, so you can get there by yacht or seaplane!"

Ye Tian explained the reason, and then walked out of the conference room with Matisse!
