Chapter 412: The Anticipated Dinner Party (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)
"Steven, why didn't you see General Sherman's marching notes? Aren't you going to send that notebook to the New York Autumn Auction and make a fortune?
I believe that as long as that marching notebook appears in the New York Autumn Auction, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and the sky-high price is a sure thing, there is no doubt about it!
If you are planning to send it to auction, Sotheby's is undoubtedly the best choice for you, as long as you entrust us with that notebook, we will definitely give you the most satisfactory answer!"
Robinson from the Department of Contemporary Art in the United States walked over and asked, with a look of anticipation.
This is not only a question that he is concerned about, but also the most concerned issue of all the Yankees present.
As an American, and a professional who works with history, culture, and art on a daily basis, how could they not want to witness Sherman's marching notes?
That notebook is a record of the history of the United States, and it is a very important piece of history that all Americans will never forget, love and hate!
The Sherman Sweep changed the course of the American Civil War, destroying almost the entire American South, and laying an incomparably solid foundation for victory in the Civil War!
Moreover, because of Sherman's terrorist policy in the southern part of the United States, the courage of the southerners to continue fighting was completely defeated, and the guerrilla warfare that was very likely to occur after the end of the civil war was avoided, so that the whole country quickly began to rebuild!
It is also because of his scorched-earth policy that in the years to come, no matter how big the contradictions and differences between the North and the South of the United States are, no one in the South dares to mention secession and independence, one of the reasons is that they are afraid of being killed by Sherman!
"I just want the southerners and their children and grandchildren to learn an unforgettable lesson, never dare to think about independence again! Never dare to resort to war!"
This famous phrase uttered by Sherman, in the late nineteenth century, was etched in the memory of every white American Southerner, but it had to be practiced!
It can be seen from this that this notebook, which records many details of the Sherman Sweep, is so important in history and scholarship that it is absolutely invaluable!
As long as you study American history, you are interested in American history, and even every American, I am afraid that you want to see it! Not to mention these professionals in front of you!
However, Ye Tian did not plan to publish this notebook!
At least until he figured out what to do with it, the contents of Sherman's marching notes wouldn't be known to the world!
Therefore, he can only give these Yankees in front of him negative answers, so that they will be disappointed and continue to be tormented by curiosity.
"I'm sorry, Robinson, I haven't figured out what to do with Sherman's marching notes, and I'm not going to send them for now!
It is a very important historical document that must be protected with special care to avoid damage, and it is now in a vault, in an artificial vacuum, very safe!
For this reason, I won't show you this marching notebook, you will definitely have the opportunity to see this marching notebook in the future and learn about that war-torn history!"
"Okay! That's all it takes, who let that notebook belong to you! It's so enviable, it's unfortunate to be able to find such an important historical document in corridor 127!"
Robinson said regretfully, his eyes full of disappointment.
The rest of the people are the same, they can only suppress the curiosity in their hearts, and wait for the day when Ye Tian announces the content of the note, I hope that day will come as soon as possible.
Looking at their disappointed expressions, Ye Tian just smiled and didn't take it seriously at all.
At this point, all the antique artworks have been appraised and the consignment auction contract has been signed, and as long as the last batch of antiques is removed, the whole thing is successfully completed.
After this matter is dealt with, Ye Tian will be liberated! Next, you just need to wait for the New York autumn auction to start and make a fortune!
For the rest of the antique artworks, they only need to give the details and valuation of the relevant antiques, and how to deal with them is Bowie and Jason's business.
After the identification, everyone was much more relaxed, drinking coffee or beer and chatting at the same time!
The central topic of everyone's conversation was Ye Tian's legendary treasure hunt in Corridor 127, and the focus was naturally Ye Tian.
"Steven, tell me how you managed to get into the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa during that battle outside Jamestown?
It's a pity that there is no such footage in many live videos circulating on the Internet, which is a bit of a pity, let's talk about it, I think everyone is interested in learning about it!"
A male expert said excitedly, obviously curious.
The rest of the people are the same, everyone has seen the video on the Internet, but they haven't seen this paragraph, which is a little regrettable, and naturally they want to understand.
This kind of good opportunity to establish a heroic image, Ye Tian naturally will not miss it.
He chuckled softly, and then his brow fluttered as he recounted the battle.
"It's normal that people didn't see the footage of sneaking into the master bedroom, there were a lot of media reporters present at the time, and some reporters were doing live broadcasts, and everyone could see the scene.
In order to rescue the hostages in the master bedroom and protect their safety, we can only find another way and sneak into the master bedroom, and the operation process must be strictly confidential, and the bastards in the villa must not find out!
Before the operation, we informed all the reporters not to point the camera at the master bedroom window and cooperate with my action so that I could sneak in, so everyone didn't see this footage!"
As the story unfolded, everyone at Sotheby's was drawn in the blink of an eye, standing around and listening.
With his colorful narration and some exaggerated rhetorical devices, that thrilling and murderous battle immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes!
Immediately afterward, exclamations began to ring out in the living room, and of course, angry curses to the hellangel bastards!
At the same time, everyone's eyes looking at Ye Tian became more complicated.
Everyone admired him for his brave behavior in the master bedroom to rescue the hostages, but also feared his ruthlessness and thoughtfulness.
What kind of guy is this? Is this a top-notch professional treasure hunter? or a brave lone hero? Or a tyrant who treats human life like a mustard? Or both?
After chatting for a long time, Matisse came over and whispered:
"Steven, the last batch of antiques is ready to go! Walker and they're back downstairs! The last batch of antiques from Sotheby's are already in storage."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately stopped talking and said to everyone present:
"Ladies and gentlemen, that's all for today, and I have the opportunity to tell you about this experience again, I believe that there will be such an opportunity, and there may be more wonderful stories in the future!
Pack up and leave here with the rest of the antiques and return to Sotheby's, you're all very good professionals and I'm very happy to work with you."
"Well, Steven, we are also deeply honored to work with you, you have made us all know what true genius is, admiration!"
Robinson said a few polite words, and then went to pack his things and prepare to leave!
The rest of the people said hello one after another, and they also began to get busy.
After dealing with Sotheby's people, Ye Tian said to Matisse again:
"Mattis, this is the last escort, everyone still can't take it lightly, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety! Don't have an accident on the last trip!
I'm going to follow this time, it's not that I'm worried about you, I'm going to go to Sotheby's personal vault to get something, it's those decorations in the apartment."
"Okay! I'll tell you to get ready!"
Matisse nodded in response, then stepped aside and began to arrange his actions.
Ye Tian walked to David's side, and Jason was also with them.
Their work is done, it's perfect, it's time to celebrate!
Walking up, Ye Tian said with a smile:
"Guys, the job is very well done, thank you! I'm going to Sotheby's to do some business later, you can go home and rest."
We'll see you at 7 p.m., but at the Plaza Hotel on 59th Street, where we'll enjoy a sumptuous dinner to celebrate the end of the 127 Corridor Treasure Hunt!
What's more, I will be there to fulfill my promise, and each of you will receive a check, and I am sure that the numbers on it will surprise and delight you!"
As soon as the words fell, several guys in front of them immediately cheered, extremely excited!
"Great! Steven, this must be the most anticipated dinner party I've ever looked forward to!"
"Steven, you're so generous! I love the Plaza Hotel! I love the dollar even more!"
Not only Jason was cheering and celebrating, but the Mattis team was also cheering with excitement when they got the news.
At this moment, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of dinner time, looking forward to seeing the cheque that belongs to them and the fascinating number on the cheque.
Especially the few guys who followed Ye Tian from New York, they were even more smiling and crazy!
Sotheby's quickly packed up their belongings and left the apartment, along with the last batch of antique artworks.
Subsequently, Ye Tian turned on the security system, locked the door of the apartment, and left the apartment!
He rode the Paramount Marauders, followed by the Sotheby's armored escort, and went to the Sotheby's auction house in the lower city, and the Matisse security team naturally followed.
David and Jason went back to their own homes and found their own mothers!
