Chapter 1071: Set sail soon
"Robber, Steven, you're a complete robber!"
"The treasure of Lima belongs to Peru, to all the Peruvian people, not to you greedy guys!"
The sounds of protest and cursing continued to come from the docks, and they clearly reached everyone's ears.
Listening to this wave of protests, Professor Douglas and the others were secretly speechless, and they were a little nervous!
"Steven, this scene is a bit exaggerated, I didn't expect so many protesters to come, we will leave at ten o'clock, this will not happen!"
Professor Delgado of the University of Costa Rica whispered, his eyes full of worry.
"Don't worry, Professor Delgado, no one can stop us from leaving on time to explore the treasures of Lima on Cocos Island, and it's even more impossible for these protesting guys on the docks!
What is this scene? It's just a trivial matter! In the Rockefeda Building, where our company is located, there are people protesting and demonstrating in the square in front of the building every day, and the scene is much bigger than that!
Those guys have been protesting in the square of Rockefeller Center for more than half a year, what have they gotten? What have they changed? Nothing! The earth is not spinning the same way, who can bear it?"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, with a bit of smugness in his tone.
Hearing this, everyone around him couldn't help but roll their eyes in unison.
yes! Who can do anything to you!
You guy has always done your own thing, and you don't care about the criticism and opinions of the unexpected world at all, and you are ruthless and have no taboos in doing things, who would dare to provoke you? You can only stand in the distance and protest a few times!
In addition to the protests made by those demonstrators, many media reporters who were closer naturally did not let go of this opportunity and were all asking questions at the top of their voices.
"Steven, what time do you depart? Is that Lürssen superyacht yours? That thing is so beautiful and extravagant!"
"Mr. Minister, how long are you going to stay on Cocos Island, is there a time limit, or until you find the treasure of Lima? Can you tell us?"
Ye Tian did not respond to these questions, and it was not yet time.
They just turned their heads to look at the reporters, then turned onto the floating dock next to them and walked straight for the passenger ship.
Soon, the group boarded the passenger ship and disappeared from view.
After entering the cabin of the passenger ship, Flores immediately explained everyone's intentions, and prepared to check the material reserves and various exploration equipment on board!
Naturally, the captain had no objection to this request.
Next, everyone began to inspect under the leadership of the captain.
During this period, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective and thoroughly saw through the passenger ship from the inside to the outside, without missing any corner!
This is a passenger ship with more than 20 years of age, after long-term use and consumption, both the hull and various equipment on board, wear and aging are more serious.
Fortunately, the maintenance is OK, and it can be used as a transport ship for transporting materials and equipment, and it is still competent, without much problem!
It's a different story if you send an exploration team, and no one would want to take this passenger ship to Cocos Island when there are better options.
In addition to the passenger ship itself, Ye Tian also secretly saw through all the materials and equipment on board!
On the inside, he found no potential danger.
The ship's supplies are abundant, especially food and drinking water, enough to support the entire exploration team to spend about half a month on Cocos Island!
All kinds of exploration equipment that the company shipped to Costa Rica in advance are there, and the packaging is intact, and no damage or loss has been found!
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed, and everyone has successfully checked the materials and equipment on the ship, and the results are satisfactory!
After returning to the living room, Ye Tian immediately found the captain of the passenger ship and said with a smile:
"Mr. Gomez, you are a very good team, you do a very beautiful job, impeccable, it is my honor to work with you, I hope we have a happy cooperation!"
As he spoke, he extended his right hand to Captain Gomez, acting very friendly.
Mr. Steven, I am also very honored to be able to cooperate with such a famous super-rich and professional treasure hunter as you, and this cooperation will definitely be very pleasant!"
Gomez said politely and shook hands with Ye Tian.
"We're going to leave later, at ten o'clock, the Lürssen superyacht next to us will sound the whistle and sail out of the berth first, and you can just follow!
"We'll follow, Steven, I wish it was me driving that superyacht!
"Hahaha, I believe there will be such an opportunity, okay, you can prepare to set sail, and we will go to sea together later!"
"Okay! I'm going to tell you to get ready to set sail, it's going to be a great trip!"
With that, Gomez took his leave and went off.
When he left, Ye Tian immediately turned to Flores and said with a smile:
"Mr. Minister, we can hold a press conference to announce the official start of our tripartite joint exploration of the treasures of Lima, and then set sail for the sea!"
"Our staff has set it up, Steven, let's go to the docks, the press conference venue is over there!"
Flores said with a smile and a nod, his expression quite excited.
"That's great! Let's go, let's meet the reporters!"
Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and took the lead in walking towards the door of the passenger ship.
The rest of the people followed, and everyone was very excited, their eyes shining.
Five minutes later, everyone was in a makeshift clearing on the pier.
Ye Tian and Flores, as well as Professor Douglas and Professor Delgado, stood in a row with smiles on their faces, ready to be interviewed by many media reporters!
Three meters in front of them, there were many excited media reporters who formed an arc inside and outside!
These uncrowned kings raised their cameras and camcorders one after another, and shot at Ye Tian and them, and the sound of the shutter of 'click' was endless!
Those demonstrators who tried to come here to protest were stopped by the Costa Rican police and port security personnel who had been prepared for a long time, and they could only stay more than 20 meters away and shout loudly!
For the hoarse protests of these guys, whether it was Ye Tian or others, they all chose to ignore it and didn't bother to pay attention to it at all!
Only some media reporters with good deeds or ill intentions turned their cameras on these demonstrators from time to time to take pictures of the protests and demonstrations!
The onlookers on the pier who watched the excitement were treated the same way, and they could only stay more than 20 meters away and look at this side from afar!
Everything was ready for the press conference to begin, and Flores nodded in acknowledgment.
Seeing his action, the spokesperson from the Ministry of Culture and Youth of Costa Rica immediately appeared and opened the prelude to the press conference.
Next, the spokesman introduced the origin of this joint exploration operation, the objectives to be explored, and so on.
Subsequently, Flores appeared on the stage, said a bunch of unnutritious official clichés, and announced on behalf of the Costa Rican government that this tripartite joint exploration operation has officially begun!
After a round of applause, the press conference finally got to the point.
As soon as the spokesperson announced that he could start asking questions, a female reporter in the front row immediately threw out the questions that had been prepared for a long time, and the response was very quick.
"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter for the Washington Post, and you're about to set sail, can you now announce the percentage of the treasure that will be found in Lima?
Everybody wants to know the answer to this question! You've said on many occasions that treasure hunting is your business, and how much can you make in this business? Surely it's a pretty staggering number, right?"
Ye Tian looked at the beautiful reporter, then took the microphone and said loudly with a smile:
"Good morning, beautiful lady, it's a pleasure to meet you, it seems that you know me well, but I'm very sorry, your question involves trade secrets, I can't answer it!
Don't be disappointed, it shouldn't be long before the Lima Treasure is revealed, and we will announce the signed tripartite joint exploration agreement to the media, and everything will be clear then!"
Hearing this answer, a trace of disappointment immediately flashed in the eyes of the beautiful reporter, and the rest of the people did the same.
Immediately afterwards, another media reporter asked in a loud voice:
"Good morning, Steven, I'm a reporter from CBS, can we follow you on Cocos Island and discover the treasures of Lima?"
Ye Tian looked at the reporter who asked the question, then shook his head with a chuckle and said:
"Good morning, journalist friend, I'm very sorry that during our tripartite joint exploration of Lima's treasures, Cocos Island will be closed to the public!
The crews of Costa Rica's national television, New York's NBC, and National Geographic will be able to broadcast live on the island.
The broadcast rights of the Discovery of Lima's Treasures have been sold to these three TV stations, and if you want to know about the exploration process, you can watch the live broadcasts of these three TV stations, which must be very timely!"
"Ahh
There was an exclamation from the disappointed media reporters.
At this time, they hope that it is their own media that buys the broadcast rights of this exploration action!
If that's the case, you might be able to visit the site to explore the treasures of Lima and make a big splash on the live show!
Unfortunately, this hope has been dashed!
The next time, Ye Tian answered a few more questions, and then it was the turn of Flores and Professor Douglas to take the questions.
Between the Q&A, time is passing little by little, and it is getting closer and closer to 10 o'clock in the morning!
