In the conference room of the Brave Intrepid, the experts and scholars who came with the fleet were admiring and appreciating the antique relics from the depths of the sea, one by one, they were fascinated and forgetful.

Needless to say, each of these antique cultural relics taken out by Ye Tian is from ancient Greece or the Hellenistic era, which is extremely rare and expensive.

By this time, it was approaching dusk outside.

The sunset gradually sinks in the west, reflecting the whole sky and the blue and clear Mediterranean Sea, the sea surface is sparkling, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, like a realistic landscape painting.

However, the people in the exploration fleet did not have time to enjoy the scenery, and everyone was busy making final preparations for the upcoming rescue of the shipwreck's treasure.

In the distance, ships and seaplanes were constantly approaching from all directions, and then anchored in the distant sea, looking out over the exploration fleet.

Without exception, the guys who were looking through the binoculars had their eyes a little red, and their eyes flashed with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Unfortunately, they could only stop at a distance and could not get close to the exploration fleet at all.

With two helicopters and several yachts in front of them, the armed security personnel blocking the exploratory fleet's operations were enough to deter them.

The amphibious assault ship Bataan and the integrated supply ship in the distance made them even more scruples, and they did not dare to act rashly, lest they be hit hard.

It took more than 20 minutes for many experts and scholars to appreciate the few antique cultural relics that Ye Tian took out.

After reluctantly putting down the treasure in her hand, Maria immediately asked impatiently:

"Steven, what are you going to do with these precious and research-worthy antiques, or should I say that you are going to do with the many antiques in this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure?"

With Maria's words, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, and everyone's eyes were full of anticipation, and they were also a little anxious.

Ye Tian glanced at the experts and scholars at the scene, and then said with a smile:

"First of all, it is well known that the location of this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure is in the waters of the high seas, and it is well known that our intrepid exploration company discovered it at any cost and with a lot of manpower and material resources.

It is also that we did not hesitate to take a huge risk to dive deep into the depths of the seabed to find out the general situation of this shipwreck treasure, according to industry practice, this shipwreck treasure belongs to our company, there is no doubt about it!"

Hearing this, all the Greeks at the scene immediately became anxious, and one by one they widened their eyes and gritted their back molars, ready to refute them.

The rest of the people didn't say much, their expressions were different, and they were all going crazy with envy.

Of course, the guys from the U.S. Department of Culture, the National Gallery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art all had big smiles on their faces.

Before those Greeks could retort, Ye Tian stretched out his hands and pressed down gently, signaling the other party to be calm and not to be in a hurry.

At the same time, his voice was not interrupted and continued his performance.

"I have a preliminary idea of what to do with the antiques that have been salvaged from this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure, and it's no secret, and I can tell you here.

The few antique artifacts in front of you, as well as all the antique artifacts that were later salvaged out of the water, I plan to divide them into three parts and deal with them in different ways.

The first part of the antiques, I plan to collect it myself, as you know, I am preparing my own private museum, which will be displayed in my private museum in the future.

The second part of the antiques, which is still in my private collection, is ready to establish the first independent exhibition hall in the United States in New York dedicated to the antiques of ancient Greece and the Hellenistic era.

Once established, this independent exhibition hall will be the largest and most distinctive ancient Greek exhibition hall in the United States, and it can be established in the major museums that already exist in New York, or it can be established as a stand-alone museum.

Like my 'Kings and Knights' gallery at the Met, this stand-alone gallery is sure to be a huge sensation and attract visitors from all over the world."

Before the words fell, they were interrupted impatiently.

"Steven, you have had a great time working with us at the Met, and I hope you can set up this exhibition hall of Ancient Greece and Hellenistic era in our Metropolitan Museum, and we can provide the best exhibition conditions."

Needless to say, the person who spoke was an old friend from the Metropolitan Museum.

Everyone at the scene turned their heads to look at that guy, and everyone's eyes were full of envy, and they couldn't replace him.

Ye Tian glanced at the guy from the Metropolitan Museum, nodded lightly at the old friend, and then continued:

"Talking about the third part of antiques, I plan to push them into the antique art market, where collectors and museums interested in these antiques can compete on a level playing field.

In this way, other collectors and museums will also have the opportunity to receive these antiques from ancient Greece or the Hellenistic era to enrich their collections, which is also considered to be an equal benefit.

In order to take care of the feelings of the Greeks and to respect the ancient Greek civilization, the major museums in Greece can obtain some preferential conditions if they participate in the competition, such as the right of first refusal"

"Those antique relics originally belonged to Greece, but now we are asking us to pay for them, how can this be justified? Steven, if you really respect the ancient Greek civilization, you should return those antique relics to Greece!"

A high-ranking official from the Greek Ministry of Culture said loudly, interrupting Ye Tian's words.

Hearing this, the rest of the Greeks at the scene nodded frequently, quite a bit of the same hatred.

A hint of a smile appeared on the faces of the rest of the people, looking lively, and the guys from the United States had a trace of disdain in their eyes.

What kind of dream do you want Steven, a greedy fellow, to spit out the fat that has eaten in his mouth? These Greeks are really whimsical!

Ye Tian looked at the high-ranking official of the Greek Ministry of Culture, and then said with a disdainful sneer:

"It is undeniable that most of the antiques in this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure are from the ancient Greek and Hellenistic eras, but as early as 30 BC, ancient Greece no longer existed.

For more than 2,000 years, the Romans ruled Greece, the Ottoman Empire ruled the land, and Greece was divided into a dozen or even dozens of city-states.

These ancient Roman shipwrecks were sunk more than 2,000 years ago, and they sank in the waters of the high seas, not within the territory or territorial waters of Greece, so they have little to do with modern Greece.

I'm a treasure hunter by profession, and the Brave Explorer Company is an economic entity, and the pursuit of profit is a natural thing, which is understandable, and it does not conflict with my respect for ancient Greek civilization.

As for giving all the antiques and artifacts in this shipwreck treasure to Greece, there is no possibility at all, and it is possible that we have come all the way to the Mediterranean Sea to do good deeds here?"

"Hahaha"

There was laughter at the scene, and those guys who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement all laughed.

And the faces of those Greeks became very ugly, as if they had died of their own father.

Forcibly suppressing the boiling anger in her heart, Maria was ready to speak, arguing with reason.

As for whether reason is on their side, it is up to them to see their opinions, and their positions are different, and their views are naturally different.

At this moment, Jason's voice suddenly came over the walkie-talkie

"Steven, everything is ready to be salvaged for the shipwreck treasure, would you like to come to the aft swim platform or the main deck parlor and keep an eye on the monitors?"

"Tell Matisse to get started, to be sure to keep yourself safe, and to protect those valuable antiques, and I'll go to the main deck parlor later."

Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said, giving an order to act.

Before the words fell, many experts and scholars in the conference room had pushed their chairs and stood up.

"Steven, we ask to participate in the salvage of the shipwreck's treasure, take a small submarine to the depths of the sea, and investigate this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure on the spot, you just promised you!"

Several experts and scholars said in unison, and everyone looked impatient.

The rest of the group behaved the same, eager to rush out of the conference room and participate in the search and salvage of the shipwreck's treasure.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd at the scene, and then said with a smile:

"You don't need to worry, this is just a trial salvage operation, the target is a few antique cultural relics scattered on the ridge, mainly for military training, familiar with the underwater environment, everyone is not suitable to participate in it.

Once our deep-sea salvage experts and staff are familiar with the seabed environment and have developed a set of safe workflows, you can get involved when the subsequent salvage work begins.

Now you can come with me to the main deck parlor, or you can stay in this conference room, and witness the salvage of this shipwreck treasure through the pictures from the bottom of the sea, which is also participating."

As he spoke, Ye Tian made a gesture of please, then opened the door of the conference room and walked out first.
