Treasure Hunt all over the World

The next morning, Sotheby's auction house in Manhattan.

Ye Tian brought the two beauties here early in the morning and completed all the preparatory work. Now at nine o'clock, the press conference will officially start, followed by the auction preview.

David and an assistant also arrived at Sotheby's early, and he has a lot of roles today.

In addition to performing his duties as a lawyer, he also needs to participate in the press conference. If someone questions the ownership of the two top oil paintings, he can come forward to fight!

At half past eight, Jason and Sophie came hand in hand.

Once in the exhibition hall, the two separated, Sophie went to Betty and the others, and Jason went straight to Ye Tian.

After walking up to say hello, Jason immediately started complaining.

"Steven, why didn't you call me when you were digging for treasure in the apartment? It's a pity to miss such a wonderful treasure hunt! It's so rare!

That video of you digging for treasure is so cool! It's gone viral all over the internet, and from yesterday to today, I've met a lot of people talking about it!

And the two top-level oil paintings of Paul Cézanne found on the wall, which can make everyone envious to death! Those two oil paintings are estimated to be worth 100 million dollars, right? "

Ye Tian smiled triumphantly, and then explained:

"Before the two oil paintings were displayed, I didn't know what was wrapped there, whether it was a treasure or just a joy, so I didn't call you over.

However, in order to avoid possible legal disputes and challenges, David as a lawyer must participate, and Jennifer happened to be at the right time, and she happened to live with us.

As for the prices of these two oil paintings, I can't accurately estimate them, but they must be very high, each at least over 30 million US dollars, that's Paul Cézanne! "

"Wow! What a windfall!"

Jason exclaimed, his eyes widened.

Several people were chatting, and the time soon approached nine o'clock, and the reporters began to enter the venue.

Checking the time, Ye Tian and David walked towards the interview booth, while Jason went over to stand with Betty and the others, waiting for the press conference to officially start.

at this time,

All work in the exhibition hall has been completed.

The exhibition hall is located in the center of the second floor of Sotheby's auction house. It is the largest preview exhibition hall here, and it is specially used to display heavyweight treasures!

Those that can be previewed here are, without exception, the finale treasures of each auction!

And Ye Tian's rare dog's head gold, as well as Paul Cézanne's two top oil paintings, are undoubtedly treasures of this level, even more important!

So although there are only three treasures, the auction house still put this preview in the largest exhibition hall, which shows that Sotheby's attaches great importance to these three treasures!

The security of the exhibition hall is very strict. Every visitor who enters the exhibition hall must undergo a security check, without exception.

Even Jason and Sophie went through the security check once they came in, even if Ye Tian said hello in advance, it was useless!

In addition to an airport-like security inspection machine at the entrance of the two exhibition halls, there are also two heavily armed security personnel, staring at everyone who enters the exhibition hall.

The security force inside the exhibition hall is also very strong. There are three booths in total, and there are three security personnel in suits and leather shoes and sunglasses beside each booth.

Under the slightly baggy suits, each of them is wearing body armor and carrying a pistol, which is enough to deal with most emergencies.

In addition, there were several security personnel posing as visitors at the scene.

They have been mixed in the crowd, they can not only monitor the behavior of the visitors, but also serve as a backup security force in case of accidents!

There is also a reason why Sotheby's auction house is so careful and attaches so much importance to the security of this preview.

First of all, of course, because of the extremely high value of the exhibits.

The dog's head gold and two Paul Cézanne oil paintings exhibited this time are likely to fetch hundreds of millions of dollars, so the auction house must not be more careful!

If something goes wrong with these treasures, even Sotheby's Auction House can't afford such a huge loss, and will definitely pay them for their injuries!

More importantly, it is a heavy blow to the reputation of the auction house, which cannot be exchanged for any amount of money!

The second reason is the extremely strong smell of blood carried on this piece of dog head gold!

When this dog head gold was still in Dawson, Canada, it had already caused huge waves, almost causing Steven and the others to go to war with the Canadians.

With some ingenious cooperation, the dog's head gold arrived in New York safely, but what happened later made all New Yorkers terrified all night!

The Tijuana gang in Mexico went directly to New York, and fought a fierce street fight with Steven on 141st Street in Manhattan, paying a heavy price for six deaths and one disability!

This street battle completely turned 141st Street into a battlefield, with corpses and blood everywhere! As a result, this street is still blocked until now, and no one can set foot in it!

Those Mexicans who died tragically on 141st Street came to New York for this dog head gold!

It's just that they didn't expect to meet more cruel, insidious and cunning guys, Steven and those armed security guards, so that they lost their lives in this city!

Because of this, Sotheby's auction house was extremely careful and spent a lot of energy on security.

What if the Mexican Tijuana gang takes the risk and fights to the death!

The preview is their last chance. After the preview, the exhibits will be put back into the auction warehouse and will not appear again until the official auction.

The security at that time will be unprecedentedly tight, and there will be no loopholes to exploit.

In addition to guarding against gangsters in Tijuana, Mexico, the auction house also needs to be careful of those international art thieves.

Looking at all the top art thefts, many of them happened in broad daylight, in full view, during public exhibitions!

If those art thieves have the idea of ​​these two top oil paintings, then today's first public display is the best time for them to do it!

If today is missed, their hope of succeeding will be very slim.

In terms of armed security, Sotheby's has achieved the ultimate, any more would be too much! It may cause panic among visitors, but it is not beautiful!

For the rest, they can only use their brains on hardware equipment.

The booths displaying the three treasures are all specially designed, very modern and very safe high-tech booths.

These booths have highly transparent and high-strength fully enclosed bulletproof glass covers, which can withstand the violent fire of automatic rifles and cannot be broken open by force in a short period of time.

In addition, if attacked, the three exhibits would sink immediately, enter the interior of the booth, disappear before everyone's eyes, and be completely sealed off.

These booths are three safes made of alloy, which are heavy and firmly fixed on the floor, making it impossible to move them away.

Even piercing through the floor from the first floor is unrealistic. The first floor is the lobby of the office building, and no one can do it there.

No idiot would think this way, this is a top-level office building, not an ordinary apartment building, and the floor is not generally strong, unless it is blasted! Otherwise there is no play at all!

It is even more impossible to open these booths!

The digital password and fingerprint to open the booth are in the hands of Larry and Simon respectively, which can be regarded as double insurance.

And the most important iris recognition is Ye Tian's iris.

He didn't think anyone could force him to open the stage and let them loot his treasures! It was pure dreaming!

In addition to irises, there are armed!

Underneath his handsome Zegna suit were three loaded pistols.

There are two M9s under the armpits on both sides! In the hidden holster on the back waist is a cz83! The firepower is strong enough! There is also a sharp German combat knife strapped to the calf, which can be used for close combat.

With these weapons, he and Sotheby's security department have coordinated without any problems.

The main target of his defense today is the gang in Tijuana, Mexico. Who knows what these lunatics will do? Be careful!

Of course, he didn't mind taking out these pistols to attack other guys with ulterior motives!

Nine o'clock sharp.

The exhibition hall was full of people and lively. Many reporters came to the scene, but most of them were visitors who came here especially for the name. Among them were many faces that Ye Tian was familiar with.

There were treasure diggers from the New York warehouse auction industry. Philip, White, and Haven all came. There were about seven or eight of them. Everyone's eyes were red, obviously jealous!

A lot of gold practitioners I know in Alaska have also arrived, such as Scott from Barrick Gold Company, a few guys from the Wall Street Morgan Mining Investment Team, people from Newmont Gold Company and so on.

The purpose of their coming today is undoubtedly that charming dog's head gold! This is a treasure that they will never forget and can't let go of!

And former colleagues on Wall Street, as well as current and former neighbors.

Of course, there are also hostile and malicious eyes here.

Rick, the mayor of Dawson, was in the audience, and there were three or four people beside him, either from Dawson City or from the Canadian Ministry of Mines.

These people all looked at Ye Tian viciously, their eyes spewing fire, wishing they could just tear him apart to relieve their hatred!

In addition, Ye Tian also met many well-known New York collectors, gallery directors, and several art appraisal experts he had met before.

Obviously, most of them came for those two top famous paintings!

There are other people, although most of them don't know each other, but Ye Tian is very sure that there must be many collectors and billionaires here, this is the way to explore!

After scanning the exhibition hall, Ye Tian laughed softly.

"It's really moving in all directions! My buddies like this, the more people the better, the more sensational the better!"

When it was time for the press conference, the host's clear voice reached his ears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Sotheby's New York, hope you have a great time here and get what you want!"

"clap clap"

The applause began, polite and enthusiastic.

Ye Tian and David stood on the stage, applauding lightly, and at the same time chatting in low voices about their coping strategies for the meeting,

The reporters in the audience were already ready to move, and they all stared at Ye Tian, ​​waiting for the question time to come.

"Today, two events will be held in this exhibition hall. The first is the press conference, followed by the on-site display of the three top treasures..."

The host's voice sounded again, gradually bringing up the atmosphere of the scene!
