Chapter 1882: Roaming France
In the midst of the busyness, two days have passed.
In the past two days, a lot of things have happened, and Ye Tian has made a lot of money again.
The gold, silver, treasures, and antiques that had been hidden by the ancestors of the Count of Beauge, found deep in the stables of the Alzhny Castle, had been divided equally between Ye Tian and the Count of Beauge, and each of them had taken it into their own pockets.
As for those dazzling gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics, the appraisal conclusions given by the Louvre Museum team and those antique art appraisal experts are no different from Ye Tian's appraisal conclusions.
In contrast, Ye Tian's appraisal conclusions are more authoritative, more specific, and more credible.
As for the valuation of those gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics, the valuation given by Ye Tian is more accurate, closely following the current antique art market.
In this case, the distribution plan naturally did not change at all, and it was still subject to the distribution plan proposed by Ye Tian before.
However, the first party to choose has become the brave and fearless exploration company.
This made the Count Beauge's family quite angry, but they had no choice but to pinch their noses and accept this result, but this was only a psychological factor, and they did not suffer any losses!
Next, in the banquet hall of Alzhni Castle, Ye Tian and Count Boge jointly held a joint press conference to officially reveal this treasure buried deep under the stables.
At the joint press conference, they each publicly displayed several representative gold, jewelry, diamonds, and antique artifacts, giving the most intuitive and irrefutable evidence.
Unsurprisingly, the joint press conference was fried at that time, and all the media reporters who came to the scene were completely stunned!
As this news spread from the Alzhni Castle, the outside world was also a sensation, and everyone who heard the news was stunned!
Of course, people are also envious of their crazy desires and red eyes.
Why didn't he have an ancestor like the ancestors of the Count of Beauge, and didn't leave such a huge treasure to himself? Why didn't he have the bad luck of that bastard Steven to find such a treasure?
It was also at this joint press conference that Ye Tian and Count Beauge officially announced the discovery of the Knights' secret arsenal of weapons, and publicly displayed several medieval weapons engraved with the 'Horse Other Crosses'.
There is also the medieval Gothic palace hidden deep underground, through a high-definition video material, Ye Tian also made an introduction and displayed it in front of everyone.
With their introduction and presentation, the outside world was shaken again.
The staggering amount of medieval weaponry and the majestic underground palaces will leave everyone in awe.
Especially the French and Lyonnais, who did not know until this time that there was such a hidden history in medieval France.
After the joint press conference, Ye Tian and Count Boge immediately divided the medieval weapons and equipment in the Knights Templar's secret arsenal, still according to the previous principle, one person and half!
Next, it's time to deal with the treasure and medieval weaponry.
Nonstop!
Ye Tian turned around and began to sell the weapons and equipment of the Knights Templar that he had assigned, and sold them to major museums in France, as well as antique dealers who rushed to the news, in exchange for real wealth!
He kept only the best-preserved and most essential part of it for shipment back to New York, where he would furnish his 'Kings and Knights' gallery in the Met, and slowly sell it at the New York Antique Art Market.
Once you've dealt with medieval weaponry, it's time to deal with the dazzling gold and silver treasures and antiques.
Next, Ye Tian began to negotiate with the French Ministry of Culture, the Louvre, and several other famous French museums, as well as some famous collectors, to dispose of the half of the treasure on the spot.
It took almost no effort for those gold and silver treasures and antique relics to be eaten by many French museums and a large number of collectors who were invited, and none of them were left for Ye Tian.
As Ye Tian requested before, after the special approval of the presidential office of the Elysee Palace, these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics have been granted a 50% tax reduction.
Otherwise, where would Ye Tian dispose of these valuable gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics in France, and then be looted by the French government.
After quickly disposing of most of the things, Ye Tian and the others left Alzhni Castle with ease and returned to Leon with the remaining Templar weapons and equipment.
By the time they left the famous medieval Gothic castle, the Intrepid Explorer had already gained hundreds of millions of dollars in its bank account.
Unlike Ye Tian's quick way of slashing through the mess, the Count of Beauge did not immediately dispose of the gold and silver treasures and antiques that he had in his hands, but stored them separately in several vaults in Lyon and Geneva.
Obviously, the old French aristocrat was a bit greedy and wanted to maximize his profits, slowly disposing of the valuable gold and silver treasures and antiques.
But this way of dealing with it is a blessing or a curse, but there are two things to say!
Now the whole world knew that the Count of Beauge had obtained these gold and silver treasures and antiques, and countless eyes were on him, and there must have been some covetous, even greedy, glances among them.
Unlike Ye Tian, Count Boge has a powerful and feared force, and how he can protect this enviable wealth is indeed a big problem.
However, this problem has nothing to do with Ye Tian, and Count Boge can only ask for more blessings for himself!
On their second day back in Lyon, the joint exploration team went to another nearby Templar fiefdom to continue their quest for the Templar treasure!
Unfortunately, there were no surprises to be found during the expedition.
Ye Tian, who was under the attention of countless news media, only detected a few tattered and rusty ancient weapons deep underground, and did not find anything else.
At this point, the exploration operation of the joint exploration team in Lyon officially came to an end.
When the sun rises again, the heavy convoy of the joint exploration team has already left Lyon and headed straight for the nearby department of Ingre-et-Loire.
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, the convoy arrived in La Cour, a small village in the Indre-et-Loire department.
It was once a fiefdom of the Knights Templar, who had built a fortified castle there, but it collapsed and was then completely emptied, leaving nothing left.
Upon arrival at Racol, the joint exploration team immediately began to explore the former fiefdom of the Knights Templar and the ruins of the castle.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed this time and found nothing.
Equally disappointed were the large number of media reporters who followed, the enthusiastic villagers of Racoor, and the guys who followed the joint exploration convoy.
The joint exploration team stayed at Racol for only a few hours, and after quickly surveying all the target areas, they drove away and headed straight for their next destination.
Over the next few days, the joint exploration convoy traveled across France in search of the famous Knights Templar treasures, with a large number of media reporters and countless followers of various purposes.
Heading south, they traveled to Provence, where they explored a former fiefdom of the Knights Templar and an abandoned medieval castle, but found nothing.
After leaving Provence, the joint expedition team went to the Château de Barbzière, located in the Charente department in southwestern France, where many of the mysterious symbols of the Knights Templar are inscribed.
From ancient times to the present day, in the legends surrounding the treasures of the Knights Templar, the castle of Barbzière is considered one of the most likely places to bury treasures, and one of the key objectives of the joint exploration team.
In that old medieval castle, the joint exploration team found no Templar treasure or anything else, much to everyone's disappointment.
But Ye Tian and the others did not run empty, in the field outside the castle, they found a box of gold coins buried deep in the ground, which was buried in the sixteenth century.
After discovering the box of gold coins, Ye Tian shared the harvest equally with the owner of the land, which was not without a small supplement.
Just as they finished their exploration and were about to leave the castle of Babeziel, an unexpected hiccup occurred.
The Pink Panther, who had fought with Ye Tian and them in Paris before, appeared in the tracking vehicles behind, sneakily, and should have come to the treasure of the Knights Templar!
However, as soon as they arrived, their identities were discovered by security personnel disguised in the crowd and notified Ye Tian and Cole.
After receiving the news, Ye Tian did not hesitate at all, and immediately asked Cole to inform the French police of the news of those jewelry thieves.
Soon, a fierce skirmish broke out on the highway, and the French police blocked the scum of the Pink Panther on the highway kilometer and launched a siege.
Just as the battle began, the joint exploration convoy was already heading straight for Marsh in Duran! That was the next destination for the joint exploration team.
In Marsh, the Knights Templar once owned a large number of fiefs and castles.
According to legend, it was formerly the home of the Knights Templar's 'Golden and Silver Jars', and it is likely that Knights Templar treasures were buried.
However, legends are just legends after all, and most of them are exaggerated, but they cannot be taken seriously.
After arriving in Marsh, the group rested for the night and the next day began an expedition, searching the former fiefdoms and castles of the Templar Order.
In these places, Ye Tian and the others did find many traces left by the Knights Templar, including two very secret secret rooms, but they didn't even see a shadow of the Knights Templar's treasures.
After leaving Marche disappointed, the joint expedition continued their journey and headed straight for Agen, near Bordeaux.
