Chapter 1985: Joint Exploration of the Golden City
It's another morning, and the sky in New York is overcast and snowy, and the whole city is completely covered in a thick layer of snow.
This is the second day of returning to New York, and after adjusting the jet lag a little, Ye Tian immediately put himself to work.
After breakfast early in the morning and a short rest, Ye Tian and Betty left the house and drove to the company in the Rockefeller Center Building under the escort of Mattis.
When the fierce and massive Paramount Marauder drove into the streets of New York again, heading for Midtown Manhattan, it immediately attracted countless attentions and caused a commotion in the streets.
"Steven's that bastard is back, he recently discovered the legendary Templar treasure in England, and ransacked the British, making a fortune, what a lucky bastard!"
In this Knights Templar treasure in London, there are not only six Christian relics that have disappeared for at least 700 years, but also countless gold and silver treasures and antiques.
According to reports, all the gold and silver treasures and antiques in the treasure have fallen into the hands of this guy Steven, what a huge fortune that will definitely make people crazy!"
In the midst of people's discussions, Ye Tian and his convoy had already driven through the streets and quickly moved away in the heavy snow.
It didn't take long for the convoy to reach the front of Rockefeller Center Plaza and stop on the side of the road on Fifth Avenue.
After the convoy stopped, Ye Tian took Betty out of the car, and under the escort of Mattis, he walked towards the Rockefeller Center Building not far away.
At this time, it was the rush hour for work, and there were many people like them, walking in this square with umbrellas and braving the wind and snow.
With Ye Tian and them appearing, many people in the square looked over here, and everyone's eyes were full of envy.
Some of the guys who were closer to them greeted them directly.
"Good morning, Steven, the Knights Templar treasure you found in London is amazing, if only I could find one, but alas, I can only dream about it"
"Good morning, Steven, is that Irish Destiny Stone real? If only you brought it to New York, it would definitely become a national treasure in the United States, and there are many Irish Americans in the United States."
For these greeting guys, Ye Tian would usually smile and nod in response, or say a few polite words.
Soon, the group came to the Rockefeller Center building.
But Ye Tian did not enter the building immediately, but stopped and turned his head to look at the skating rink in the Rockefeller Center Square, which was still hung with Christmas lights.
Like the rest of New York City, New York's most famous ice rink is covered in snow.
The guys who had been protesting here all this time were gone, and the rink was rarely quiet.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian immediately asked curiously:
"Where did the protesters go? Why can't they see any of them, do they know that the protests are just in vain and useless, so they all withdraw? That's really good news!"
"Hahaha"
There was laughter, and Betty and Mattis all laughed.
Immediately afterwards, Matisse continued:
"Those guys didn't evacuate, but because it was too cold today and it was still early, they didn't come, and when the snow stopped, those guys who were full of food and support will definitely appear again, maybe more people"
"I see, whatever they want, continue to protest if they like, I don't expect them to make any waves, just be careful when you enter and exit the building, let's go in"
After speaking, Ye Tian took Betty into the building, and Mattis and the others followed.
Soon, the group entered the company.
Immediately afterward, there was an enthusiastic applause and deafening cheers from the Brave Exploration Company, which resounded throughout the entire floor.
Fortunately, this floor has been taken down by Ye Tian, and all of them are used by the Brave Intrepid Exploration Company, and these applause and cheers did not disturb others.
After cheering and celebrating, everyone returned to their respective places and began their day's work.
Ye Tian walked into his office and began to deal with the many affairs accumulated in the past period of time, and learned about the company's operations during this time.
Since Betty had long since returned to New York and was based in New York, the company was running well without any problems.
Before I knew it, it was about ten o'clock in the morning.
In the office, Ye Tian was listening to several company employees report on the recent auctions, when Jason suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the office.
"Steven, David and his assistant attorney have arrived, as well as the professors from Columbia University's School of History, who have followed David and them to the company."
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately put down the document in his hand and said to Jason with a smile:
"Jason, you take David and the professors from Columbia University to the conference room, and when the people from the Honduran embassy arrive, they will also take them to the conference room, and I will go over after I finish dealing with the matter at hand."
"Okay, Steven"
Jason nodded in response, then left the office and went out to get busy.
About 10 minutes later, several employees got up and left the office to work outside.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian also got up and left the office and walked towards the company's conference room.
As soon as he walked into the conference room, he saw several familiar faces.
David and Jason, not to mention, are also familiar with several professors from Columbia University's School of History, Professor Kane, Professor Douglas, and Professor Delgado.
In addition, there were several people from the Honduran Embassy in New York, namely the Ambassador, the Cultural Counsellor, and the Legal Counsel, as well as two others.
Among them, the ambassador and cultural counsel of Honduras, as well as the legal adviser, had met and knew each other for several months, while the other two were unfamiliar faces and had not met.
After entering the conference room, everyone naturally greeted each other politely, and Ye Tian greeted these guys one by one and shook hands.
When it was the turn of the Honduran ambassador to New York, the ambassador immediately introduced the two strangers to Ye Tian.
"Mr. Steven, these two gentlemen are from Honduras, one is the special envoy of the President, Mr. Hernando, and the other is the deputy minister of culture of Honduras, Mr. González, they are both here for the business of the Golden City"
With the introduction of this ambassador, Ye Tian also put on a bright smile and greeted the other party.
"Good morning, Mr. Hernando, Mr. Gonzalez, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to meet you, welcome to New York, welcome to my company of discovery"
As he spoke, he shook hands with these two high-ranking Honduran officials, and behaved very politely and like a spring breeze.
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I'm Hernando, I'm Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, and I'm glad to meet you, and I want to congratulate you on the discovery of the Knights Templar's treasure in London."
The special envoy of the President of Honduras shook hands with Ye Tian and was also very polite.
After getting to know each other and chatting a few words, they sat down on either side of the long conference table in the conference room and quickly got to the point.
"Mr. Steven, this joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar by your company and the Vatican has been very impressive, has achieved a series of significant results, and has caused a great sensation.
After some careful consideration and discussion, the government of Honduras would like to work with you Brave Explorers to explore the golden city of the Mayan Empire, which has been circulating in Central and South America for a long time, and uncover this secret.
We can discuss the specific cooperation conditions again, and we can also refer to the operation when you and Costa Rica cooperated to explore the treasures of Lima, but some of the details need to be changed, such as the proportion of the treasure share!"
Hernando looked at Ye Tian and said, his eyes were full of anticipation, and even a little greedy.
The same was true of several other Hondurans, as well as the professors of Columbia University's School of History, who all looked at Ye Tian expectantly, waiting for his answer.
As for David and Jason, they were all excited, and their eyes lit up one by one.
This is the legendary Golden City, more famous than the Knights Templar's treasures, and contains more gold, silver, and antiques, and if you find it, it will shake the whole world.
Looking at the Hondurans opposite, Ye Tian laughed softly and complained secretly.
Needless to say, the Hondurans must have had a nose in the ancient city of Copan, and paid a huge price, but they couldn't find the golden city, so they came to New York in desperation to find their cooperation.
In that case, don't blame buddies for having black hands!
After pretending to think about it for a while, Ye Tian then continued:
"Mr. Hernando, this is the famous Golden City, one of the most famous treasures in the legend, as a professional treasure hunter, of course I hope to find the Golden City, and there is no problem working with you.
However, our joint exploration of the Templar treasures with the Vatican is not over, and even if I work with you in Honduras to explore the Golden City, it will not be until after April.
If the exploration of the Templar Order's treasures doesn't go well, a lot of time will be delayed, and the rainy season in Central and South America will probably have to be postponed until next year!
Since you've talked about the percentage of the treasure, I need to explain that if I choose to cooperate with the Honduran government and find the Golden City, half of the treasure must be mine.
As far as I can tell, it's very likely that the Golden City is in your Honduras, and in this case, I think it's obviously impossible to monopolize the Golden City, but I have to get half of it, that's the bottom line.
On this point, you can ask the Costa Rican government about it, and if we cooperate, we can basically apply the joint exploration agreement that I signed with the Costa Rican government,......"
Hearing this, several Hondurans on the other side couldn't help but roll their eyes angrily and complain to themselves.
Sure enough, just like the legend, Steven, this bastard, is so greedy that he wants to swallow half of the treasure of the Golden City, and you bastard is not afraid of choking to death!
The performance of these high-ranking Honduran officials was all seen by Ye Tian.
But he didn't see it, and continued to smile and say:
"After discovering the six-pointed star golden scepter head of the Mayan Empire, I asked these professors from Columbia University's School of History to discuss and study the Mayan characters on the head of the golden scepter.
To thank the professors for their help, I promised them that if I cooperated with the Honduran government to explore the treasures of the Golden City, Columbia University, as a third party, would also participate in the exploration,......"
As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his right hand and gestured at Kane and Professor Douglas.
The professors nodded excitedly, and then looked at the Hondurans, everyone looking forward to it!
