Chapter 1230 Secret Vault
After everyone met at the gate of the city hall, David immediately asked in a curious whisper:
"Steven, what treasure did you find? You actually want to run to the New York City Hall, could it be that the treasure has something to do with the New York City government, or the U.S. government?"
Ye Tian nodded lightly, smiled and whispered:
"Bingo, you guessed it, David, the treasure I found had something to do with the New York City government, and it had to do with the U.S. government, and it was a very secret vault.
Although I did not enter the vault, from what I have observed and judged, the secret vault should be the work of the Federal Reserve, and it is likely that it is stored in reserve gold.
That secret treasury has been around for at least seventy or eighty years, and judging from its current situation, the Fed's top management may not be aware of its existence.
Unfortunately, that treasure is buried under a public land in the United States, and it is impossible to sell that public land, so I can't keep it for myself.
In this case, I can only try to work with the New York City government and the Federal Reserve to explore the hidden vault and get a certain percentage of the treasure discovery bonus.
It is estimated that the U.S. Treasury Department will also be alarmed by this treasure and will probably participate in this exploration operation, and at that time, the scene will be very lively and will definitely cause a huge sensation.
We're here to negotiate with the New York City government and the Federal Reserve, and if they can give me a prize for finding a treasure that satisfies me, I don't mind saying where the treasure is.
If they are very stingy and the treasure they give me does not impress me with the prize money, then I am very sorry, just let the treasure remain buried in the ground, and there may be a time when it will be seen again."
Hearing this, David was completely dumbfounded, and looked at Ye Tian in a daze, his eyes were round, and his eyeballs were about to fly out of his sockets.
It took him four or five seconds before he came to his senses.
Immediately afterward, David exclaimed in a low voice, his excited eyes shining brightly.
"Oh my God! The Fed's secret vault, that's an exaggeration! Steven, are you sure it's the Fed's secret vault? Are you sure it's all gold?
If it is true, it is likely to be an astronomical fortune that is worth far more than the Treasure of Lima, and is definitely a huge discovery that has shocked the world.
Conventionally, if someone finds treasure on public land in the United States and reports it to the local government, the finder will also receive at least 10% of the treasure discovery bonus.
This may not sound like a high percentage, but if the overall value of that treasure is very high, then this one-tenth share is also very staggering, enough to make countless people go crazy for it!"
"Of course it's true, I'm very confident in my vision, and that treasure is most likely the Federal Reserve's secret vault, and the things stored in it are, nine times out of ten, reserve gold.
If it weren't for the fact that the location of that treasure was public land owned by the New York City government, the buddy would have bought that piece of land and started digging up that treasure, thus making a windfall.
To be on the safe side, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, I didn't enter the secret vault, which was still the same as it was decades ago, and everything was untouched.
One in ten is a lot, but it doesn't impress me, and my buddy wants more than that, but more, depending on how the New York City government and the Federal Reserve decide."
Ye Tian chuckled and whispered, with strong confidence in his words and eyes.
"Hahaha, you're greedy!
David chuckled, equally confident.
"Let's go, let's go to City Hall and slash the New York City government and the Federal Reserve"
As he spoke, Ye Tian stepped out, stepped on the steps in front of the New York City Hall, and walked forward firmly.
David and Matisse they immediately followed, everyone was very excited and light-footed!
Ten minutes later, Ye Tian, Jason, David and his two assistant attorneys were already sitting side by side on one side of a long conference table in a spacious and bright conference room in New York City Hall.
Mattis and several other security personnel stayed outside the conference room and did not participate in the ensuing negotiations.
At this time, there was no one else in the conference room, only Ye Tian and a few of them, everyone was in a very relaxed state, drinking free coffee from the city hall, laughing and chatting.
"Steven, who do you think the New York City government is going to send to negotiate with us? Could it be the mayor, or the mayor's assistant, or whatever?
And the Fed, who are they going to send to negotiate? Is it from the top of the Federal Reserve in Washington, or is it some of the seven executive members of the Fed?"
Jason asked in a whispered excitement, his eyes shining.
The rest of the guys were the same, and they all wanted to know the answer to this question, and they all looked at Ye Tian.
"Until the authenticity of the secret vault is confirmed, New York Mayor Blass should not come forward to participate in the negotiations, and the real one who will participate in the next negotiation is likely to be the mayor's assistant.
As for the Fed, the Federal Reserve in Washington will definitely send its top management, as will the Fed's headquarters in New York, for whom the words gold reserves are too sensitive.
It is not known whether the top authority of the Federal Reserve, the seven-member executive committee, will come, you know, those guys are super heavyweights, the makers of US financial policy.
Every move of a few of them would attract a lot of attention, and even cause a tsunami on Wall Street, and it would be great if one of them could show up today."
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, telling his speculation.
"That's right, if a big guy from the seven-member executive committee shows up today, it means that the Fed takes this secret vault very seriously, and there may really be a lot of gold reserves in it."
David nodded in agreement and said, very much agreeing with Ye Tian's speculation.
After that, everyone continued to laugh and chat, waiting for the arrival of the negotiator.
Not long after, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and the secretary who had led everyone into the conference room before walked into the conference room with six more people.
The six middle-aged and elderly men who had just come in were all dressed in suits and leather shoes, and their faces were solemn, five of them were white, and the other was black.
They were all over fifty years old, and two of the old white men looked to be over sixty-five years old, but fortunately they were in good spirits.
Ye Tian, who had been on Wall Street, recognized the identities of these guys at a glance, and he was very familiar with every face, and he knew their resumes well.
These guys are all from the Federal Reserve, two of them are senior executives of the Federal Reserve in Washington, and the remaining four are bigwigs of the Fed's headquarters in New York, and each of them is a well-known heavyweight in the financial world.
In particular, the oldest white man is one of the final formulators of US financial policy, a member of the Federal Reserve's seven-member executive committee, and he is quite senior on the committee.
Seeing this white old man who stomped his feet, and there would be an earthquake on Wall Street and even in the world's financial markets, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of joy.
He knew in his heart that since this financial tycoon from the Federal Reserve appeared, it was enough to explain a lot of problems.
As the ultimate formulators and decision-makers of U.S. financial policy, it is likely that several bigwigs of the seven-member executive committee are aware of the existence of that secret vault, but they do not know where the vault is.
It doesn't matter if you don't know, buddy knows, and you know very well what treasures are stored in that secret vault, and how much it is worth!
If you want to find that secret vault and get out of that reserve of gold, you're going to have to stick out your neck and have your buddy slaughter it, it's non-negotiable!
As soon as these people walked into the conference room, Ye Tian stood up, put on a bright smile, and said enthusiastically:
"Good morning, gentlemen, I'm Steven, and it's a pleasure to meet you here, and to have friendly exchanges and negotiations with you."
As he spoke, Ye Tian and David greeted the financial tycoons.
"Steven, good morning, I'm Christopher, it's an honor to meet you, you are not only a legendary professional treasure hunter, but also a new urban hero in the city of New York, a big name!"
The big man of the Federal Reserve's seven-member executive committee said with a smile, shook hands with Ye Tian, and sent a series of compliments.
"This is an old fox, obviously not easy to deal with"
Ye Tian secretly complained to himself, and his face was still filled with a bright smile.
