Chapter 1058: The Original Treasure Map

"Okay! let me deal with these uncrowned kings!"

With that, Ye Tian stood up, left his seat and walked quickly to the signing table, taking the microphone from the host Thiago.

Immediately after, his clear voice sounded in this banquet hall and reached everyone's ears.

"Fellow journalists, since you are so impatient, I would like to introduce this tripartite joint exploration operation, so that you will not continue to be tormented by curiosity.

First of all, I would like to point out that before the tripartite joint exploration agreement is formally signed, the specific content of this agreement needs to be kept secret for the time being, and it is inconvenient to tell everyone.

Even after the agreement is signed, some of the contents will still need to be kept secret until the treasure of Lima is found and the joint exploration operation is successfully completed, and the agreement will not be fully made public!

Everyone must know very well about the Lima Treasure, which is one of the world's most famous pirate treasures, buried with countless gold and silver treasures, and is known as the second largest treasure in the world!

This quest for the treasures of Lima was initiated by our Brave Explorers, a joint effort between the Costa Rican government and Columbia University!

It started with a treasure map from the 19th century, and about half a year ago, by chance, I got an old, sketchy parchment map.

It's a treasure map of the past, and it's the place where the treasure of Lima is buried, just like the legend says, on the island of Cocos."

Before the words fell, the exclamations had sounded again, one after another, endlessly!

"Wow! The treasure map of Lima's treasure, Steven is so lucky that he can even encounter such a good thing!"

"There is no doubt that this guy is God's favorite! All good things have fallen on his head, and no one else can even touch a hair! It's so unfair!"

At the same time, many people at the scene were already envious of their eyes red, and they couldn't wait to replace Ye Tian and take the Lima treasure map for themselves.

In that way, the countless gold and silver treasures of Lima's treasure will belong to you, and you can become a super-rich man overnight!

Unfortunately, this is just a dream!

God never seems to see himself, only Steven, and only the lucky guy!

The exclamation fell slightly, and a media reporter immediately continued to ask:

"Steven, for one or two hundred years, since the treasure of Lima was buried on Cocos Island, countless treasure hunters have come to Cocos Island one after another, trying to find the treasure of Lima and make a fortune!

But the vast majority of treasure hunters found nothing, and some even risked their lives to do so, and few made a fortune on Cocos Island, and the Lima treasure never appeared.

During this period, there were many treasure maps of the Lima Treasures, in various versions and eras, and some versions of the treasure maps were even rotten on the streets, almost everyone had one copy.

How can you be sure that the treasure map in your hand will be real, and it will guide you to find the treasure of Lima, and if it is a fake treasure map, it will be a waste of joy!"

Ye Tian looked at the media reporter who asked the question, and then said with a confident smile:

"As you all know, I am an expert in antique art, and after my careful identification, it is safe to say that the parchment map is the treasure map of Lima's treasures.

I will not introduce the specific identification methods, but I can tell you that the treasure map of Lima was drawn in 1820, which is not difficult to identify, and there is no doubt.

In 1820, Captain Thompson ransacked the Spanish governor who had fled Lima, and used the brig 'Dear Mary' to transport the treasures of Lima to Cocos Island and buried them.

Suffice it to say that the treasure map I got was the original treasure map made by Captain Thompson himself, not the fakes that appeared after 1844, and there is no doubt about it!

After determining this, I began to plan this joint exploration operation, and contacted the School of History of Columbia University and the Costa Rican government to negotiate with them to explore the island together!"

"Wow! The treasure map of 1820, and by Captain Thompson, is absolutely genuine."

"From this point of view, the treasure of Lima, which has haunted and driven countless people crazy for hundreds of years, is finally coming out, and it has fallen into the hands of this guy Steven!"

Exclamations rang out again, each voice full of envy.

Regarding the appraisal conclusion given by Ye Tian, no one at the scene had any doubts.

As we all know, Steven has a very sharp eye for identifying antique artworks, and he has never looked at it before, and this time will definitely be no exception!

The fact that he has a wealth of top-notch antique artworks in his hands is the best proof of this.

"Steven, I'm a reporter for The Washington Post, and now that you're ready to sign a tripartite joint exploration agreement, can you put that treasure map on public display?

Honestly, I'd love to see that legendary treasure map and see what it looks like, and how different it is from the pirate treasure map I collected as a kid!"

"That's right, Steven, let's show you, we want to see what that treasure map looks like!"

Many media reporters at the scene responded in groups, and everyone looked at Ye Tian with anticipation in their eyes.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ye Tian immediately laughed.

This situation was completely expected by him, and he did not feel the slightest surprise.

In the Western world, almost every man has a pirate dream as a child, yearning for a life of freedom and indulgence on the vast seas.

Some people also collect a lot of pirate-related memorabilia, such as swords, pirate flags, compasses, binoculars, necklaces, etc., which has formed a pirate culture.

Because of this, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies produced by Hollywood will last forever and are popular and chased by countless fans.

When the noise at the scene subsided slightly, Ye Tian smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but you can't see the treasure map, which I burned to the ground in 1820!

Now it only exists in my brain, and has no physical form, which means that I am the only one in the world who knows the exact location of the Lima treasure buried, and no one else can know!"

The scene was directly fried, and many media reporters hugged their heads and exclaimed.

"Ahh

While exclaiming, some people were also cursing to themselves.

This cunning bastard is really impeccable in his work, and he is simply flawless!

Now, no matter who wants to find the treasure of Lima, then they can only cooperate with him, and be at the mercy of this guy, there is no other possibility!

In addition to many media reporters, almost all Costa Ricans at the scene hated the root of their teeth at this time, but there was nothing they could do!

"That's right! The treasure map of the Lima treasure has indeed been burned by me! It is my own thing, and I have the right to dispose of it, and no one has the right to interfere!"

Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle and said, his eyes flashed with a smug look, and he looked very underwhelmed.

But what can others do with him?

Another media reporter stood up, ready to ask a question.

At this moment, David behind him suddenly said loudly:

"Steven, the contract has been checked, and the results of the previous negotiation and discussion are exactly the same, there are no discrepancies, you can sign it with confidence!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately raised his hand and pressed down, stopping the reporter's question in the audience.

"Fellow journalists, that's all for the time being, and when we finish signing the tripartite joint exploration agreement, we will hold a press conference, and there will be time to ask questions! Please cooperate!"

After saying that, he returned the microphone to the live host, turned around and returned to the signing table!
