Chapter 774: The Most Vicious Bastard
Seeing Ye Tian's signal, Matisse immediately bent down, picked up an oak box that he had just brought into the conference room, and placed it on the table.
Then he took out an antique money bag from his bag and placed it on the conference table in front of him.
"Steven, what's in this box? Is that little bag a money bag? Are they from the shipwreck of the Princess of Malaga?"
Wilson asked curiously, his eyes full of excitement.
Except for Mattis, who participated in the Caribbean exploration operation, everyone else looked at these two things curiously, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation, including Jason and David!
"That's right, this oak box and this old money bag, both from the shipwreck of the Malaga Princess, we found it while exploring the wreck, and we brought it back as evidence!
Since we are a cooperative relationship, as part of the treasure of the shipwreck, no matter how valuable it is, these things should be on the table and cannot be hidden!"
Ye Tian explained with a smile, his expression was calm, but secretly he was distressed.
"Great! It seems that the shipwreck treasure of the Princess of Malaga is not just a legend, but it does exist, thank you for your honesty, Steven!"
Wilson waved his fist excitedly and sincerely thanked Ye Tian.
At this moment, his impression of Ye Tian couldn't help but change greatly.
Steven, this bastard, is a retributive and ruthless bastard, but when it comes to business, he is an honest and trustworthy guy who can be trusted!
"You're welcome, Wilson, this is the principle of my business, what is mine is mine, and no one can take it away!
"Can you show us what's in this box and the money bag? Honestly, I'd love to know what's in it and how much it's worth?"
"Of course, that's what they're putting on the table, Matisse, show those treasures!
Ye Tian nodded, then turned his head and said to Matisse.
"Okay, Steven!"
Matisse nodded in response and immediately went into action.
"Whoa!"
About fifty gold and silver coins were poured out of the purse and spread on the table.
Under the sunlight shining through the window, these gold and silver coins immediately emitted a dazzling light, which was very dazzling, and everyone in the room was a little dizzy.
"Wow! So many Spanish gold and rial coins, it's so beautiful!"
"There's also the Mexican krona, a gold coin that's very popular in the Latin American colonies, and I've seen it at the Metropolitan Museum before!"
Before the exclamation could be heard, Matisse opened the oak box and carefully removed the sculpture from it and placed it on the table.
With the appearance of this sculpture, the conference room suddenly became more lively.
"Ah! It's actually a sculpture, carved of Poseidon the god of the sea, why is there a statue of Poseidon in the shipwreck of the Princess of Malaga?"
"It's a baroque sculpture, it's so expressive, it's so beautiful!
The person who said this was an employee who bravely and fearlessly explored the company, and his appreciation was obviously good.
Ye Tian smiled and stretched out his hands and pressed them down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
The conference room immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Tian, expecting him to reveal the answer.
"Everyone's eyes are good, these gold and silver coins are Spanish Dobron, Rial and Mexican koruna, all from the mid-to-late seventeenth century to the early eighteenth century!
Although these gold and silver coins are relatively ordinary and have a lot of existence, they have a history of nearly 300 years, and they are also a good batch of antique coins, and they still have a certain collection value!
As for this sculpture of Poseidon the god of the sea, it is indeed a baroque art style sculpture, and it is made by a top art master, Booker, you have a very good eye!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian nodded at Booker, who was sitting not far from his left, and affirmed the other party's judgment.
Booker nodded in response, his eyebrows fluttering with excitement.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued:
"This Poseidon statue is a sculpture by Bernini, the greatest artist of the 17th century, the most outstanding representative of Baroque art, and the top master of art, created around 1660!
Based on the current market for antique art, my estimate is about $12 million, and if you do a good job of publicity and hype, it is not impossible to fetch a sky-high price of more than $20 million!"
Before the words fell, the conference room was completely boiling.
"Oh my God! $20 million! It's incredible that such a small marble sculpture can fetch such a high price!"
"Bernini's small sculptures, and in the shipwreck of the Malaga Princess, it's a miracle!"
While exclaiming and discussing hotly, everyone's eyes looking at the statue of Poseidon on the table became extremely hot and hot!
Especially those guys from Thor Security Company, they stared at the sculpture intently, and they couldn't wait to take that sculpture into their arms immediately and take it for themselves!
"A shipwreck, ten tombs! The Caribbean Sea is indeed a cornucopia of endless wealth! These guys have only been out at sea for a few days, and they have such a big harvest, when has it become so easy to make a fortune?"
Wilson was completely blown away, almost in disbelief what he had just heard.
But he knew very well in his heart that the guy sitting opposite would never look away, let alone misestimate the price, and in that guy, this kind of thing had never happened!
This was not only his idea, but the rest of the Raytheon Security Company guys were also thinking so, and everyone was completely shocked!
Jason, along with David and a few of his assistants, performed relatively well.
For no other reason, they have seen this kind of thing many times, and they have long been accustomed to it!
While the rest of the people were exclaiming and concentrating on admiring the sculpture, Ye Tian and Matisse were chatting in a low voice!
Both of them looked very relaxed, and they didn't seem to take the sculpture worth tens of millions of dollars in front of them seriously at all.
After a while, everyone's excitement gradually calmed down.
Immediately afterward, Wilson couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, let's act according to the agreement we signed before, and prepare to salvage this shipwreck treasure! We are ready, the chartered deep-sea salvage ship will arrive in San Juan tomorrow!
No matter how much gold and silver treasure is salvaged from the Princess of Malaga, in addition to the 10% handed over to the New York municipality, the remaining 90% of the treasure, we will divide it in half!
Now you can tell where the Malaga Princess is located, but don't worry, we still want to cooperate with your company for a long time, find more treasures, and will definitely not be treacherous!"
"I believe this, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with you, and Thor Security Company is not a leather bag company, so I will definitely not smash my own signboard!"
Ye Tian smiled and praised the other party a few words, but he never mentioned the location of the shipwreck of the Princess of Malaga, as if he hadn't heard it at all!
"Damn bastard, your mouth is so tight!"
Wilson cursed to himself, and then continued to say with a smile on his face:
"Steven, as long as you provide the exact location, our people will immediately start the operation, take the position in advance, and wait for you to arrive on the deep-sea salvage ship later, ready to start the operation!
The news of your exploration of shipwreck treasure in the Caribbean has spread, and as you return to San Juan, many professional treasure hunters are heading there to try their luck!
Therefore, we must act as soon as possible, so as not to be preempted, as long as you give the exact location, our people can protect it, and no one else will want to approach!"
"I had expected this for a long time, and while exploring that area, we came across several luxury yachts in quick succession, and the guys on the yachts recognized us and saw our actions.
It is no secret that we are exploring shipwreck treasures there, and it may have spread throughout the American professional treasure hunt and even the countries bordering the Caribbean.
Yesterday we received news from New York that many professional treasure hunters and exploration companies were asking us about the purpose of our visit to the Caribbean, specifically for the famous shipwreck!"
"That's true, we've got a message about it!"
Wilson nodded, his face a little unpleasant, and he was still secretly cursing in his heart.
Regarding the change in his expression, Ye Tian suddenly didn't see it, and said to himself:
"The situation looks not promising, but we sit here quietly, negotiating with you on the details of salvaging this shipwreck treasure, and are not in a hurry to return to the Caribbean.
This shows that we are not worried about what treasures those who are in a hurry to find in that area, and we are not worried about being preempted, that kind of thing is basically impossible to happen.
Of course, there is a reason why we are so confident, and as a partner, I don't mind revealing a little bit to you, so that you don't make a wrong judgment and cause unnecessary losses!
The first reason is that the area is full of Caribbean reef sharks, and those reef sharks have just experienced a fight and have just tasted human flesh, and they are in their most violent stage at this time.
That man-shark battle took place right in front of my eyes, and when I think of that tragic scene, I still have lingering palpitations and fear! Conducting deep diving exploration in that sea area at this time is undoubtedly suspected of seeking death!"
"I'm sure that the man-shark battle was deliberately provoked by you bastard, which is too much in line with your bastard's ruthless style!
Wilson secretly complained wildly, as did the rest of the Raytheon Security Company personnel.
Even Jason and David, who heard about this for the first time, felt that this was too similar to Ye Tian's style, and it was very likely that it was the human-shark war he provoked at the bottom of the sea.
It's almost impossible to put this thing on someone else, it's like a fantasy!But Steven is a different matter, is there even a few miracles that happen to him?
"Caribbean reef sharks are very fierce, but compared to some other guys, they can only be regarded as a pre-dinner snack, just like a group of cute children, harmless to humans and animals!
Wilson, don't blame me for not reminding you! If you have a subordinate who is in that area at this time, don't try to go down to the sea to find the treasure of the wreck of the Princess of Malaga, it is pure death!
If they don't find the Malaga Princess, they'll be fine! If they find the wreck, I'm afraid no one will make it to the surface alive!
In the shipwreck of the Princess of Malaga, there are several monk's hat jellyfish, and they are all adult big guys, and the tentacles are even about 20 meters long, once extended, they can cover almost the entire wreck.
As for what the monk's hat jellyfish is, I think everyone knows it, it is the most dangerous animal in the ocean, it is extremely poisonous, and the toxin contained in one tentacle can easily kill 60 people!"
Ye Tian's slightly exaggerated words hadn't finished yet, and the conference room had already been completely fried.
"Oh my God! There are a few adult monk-hat jellyfish entrenched in the Malaga Princess, it's hell!"
"May God bless those who rush to pick up the bargains, and don't all die in the depths of the sea!"
Jason and the others exclaimed, but Wilson's guys changed their faces and were completely stupid!
They were stunned for two or three seconds before they came to their senses.
Immediately afterward, Russell gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Steven, you're definitely the most vicious bastard in the world! There's a monk's hat jellyfish at the bottom of the sea, why didn't you say it earlier? You bastard did it on purpose, right? It's so fucking insidious!"
While scolding, this guy quickly pulled out his phone and rushed out of the conference room.
And Wilson, who was sitting opposite, stared at Ye Tian with blood-red eyes, eager to pounce and tear him to pieces!
