Treasure Hunt all over the World

Following the archaeologist from Harvard University, the Bishop of Kent also approached Ye Tian and couldn't wait to say:

"Steven, this treasure has been allocated, and the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary has fallen into your hands. Can we talk about the transaction?

I just received news that it is clearly recorded in an archive in the Vatican Museum that the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary once belonged to the Vatican.

In the early 17th century, when Bishop Alfonso Mendes came to Ethiopia to spread Catholicism, he brought the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary to this land.

When he left Ethiopia, he failed to take this top-level artwork. Since then, the bronze statue of the Virgin Mary has completely disappeared.

Fortunately, the bronze statue was not damaged and is well preserved. It is finally seen again today, and we really want to take back this top art piece of art! "

Before Ye Tian could respond, the Harvard University archaeologist was already impatient.

"Bishop of Kent, this outstanding masterpiece of Mannerist Giambologna once belonged to the Vatican. We don't deny that, but the Vatican has too many such top artworks.

For you, it doesn’t really matter whether there is more or less of this artwork, but for us at the Harvard University Museum, the meaning of this bronze statue is quite different!

Such a representative work of Mannerist sculpture can fill a gap in this aspect of our museum. It has a special meaning. I hope that the Vatican will not compete with us for this artwork."

Seeing them competing, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing.

He raised his hands and gently pressed down, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, this bronze statue of the Virgin Mary of Giambologna, the master of Mannerism, is to be sold to whom, we can discuss it later, don't worry.

Have we thought about it? If you buy this valuable bronze sculpture, how can it be shipped out of Axum, out of Tigray State, and then shipped to the Vatican or Boston? "

"what!"

The Bishop of Kent and the archaeologist screamed in exclamation, and then they were stunned.

Obviously, they have not had time to think about this issue.

After a short pause, Ye Tian continued:

"You know the situation in Tigray State. It may not be an easy task to safely transport such a top art piece worth tens of millions of dollars.

My opinion is that the transaction will be postponed. When we safely transport this half of the treasure out of Tigray State, to Tel Aviv or New York, let's talk about the transaction!

In that case, you can avoid taking unnecessary risks, be more secure, and save time for a basket full of water. What do you think? "

The Bishop of Kent was silent and lost in thought.

They knew that Ye Tian's remarks were right, and that this could effectively avoid risks.

At the same time, they also know very well that if they wait for the half of the treasure to be shipped to New York before discussing the deal, it will not be at the current price!

The reason is simple. If you trade here, you only need to pay a tax to Tigray State, and the tax rate is very low.

If you trade in New York, it is bound to be severely slapped by the U.S. tax department, and the price is bound to rise.

After thinking for a while, the Bishop of Kent decided to accept Ye Tian's suggestion.

"Well, Steven, we can suspend the transaction, it would be safer, but I hope the transaction will be in Tel Aviv, not New York. We are not obligated to pay taxes to the US government!"

Before he could say anything, the archaeologist from Harvard University also nodded.

"We also hope to place the transaction location in Tel Aviv. It is best to do the transaction on the airport runway. Do not enter the Israeli customs. After the transaction is completed, we will immediately remove the relevant antique cultural relics and artworks!"

"Hahaha, you guys are very savvy, well, I accept this suggestion, and then you will first coordinate and choose the antique relics and works of art you want to buy.

When these treasures are shipped to Tel Aviv, we will complete the transaction on the runway, and then immediately transport them away to avoid multiple tax payments. The antiques in my collection are not included! "

Ye Tian said with a smile, and the Bishop of Kent also nodded.

After talking a few more words, the two walked to the Tigray people nearby.

The supermarket of the Tigray people has opened, and they will not miss it naturally.

They focused on some of the other half treasures, ready to take advantage of the Tigray people's urgent need for large sums of money, and make a little cheaper.

Not only them, but Joshua and the rest of the guys, will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Behind them is either a country, a top museum or a top university, neither of them is the owner of the lack of money!

In a blink of an eye, the deputy mayor of Aksum, representatives of the Tiren Front, and the head of the Nda Cion Church were surrounded.

In fact, these Tigray people are eager to immediately sell half of the treasure they have, and convert it into a large sum of money, so as to buy various materials and prepare for the upcoming war.

The two parties hit it off, and after consulting their superiors, negotiations soon began.

Regarding all this, Ye Tian just watched indifferently.

He did not interfere, nor did he participate in it, to make money for anything.

Next, Ye Tian asked his subordinates to put away half of the treasures, put them into portable safes, and then hand them over to armed security personnel to take care of them.

After doing this, he walked to the deputy mayor of Aksum and others.

"Gentlemen, our exploration in the Nda Cion Church is not over yet. The treasure hidden deep underground has been cleared and allocated.

Next, I am going to look at other places in the church. My staff scanned some hidden metal objects, and it's time to check.

Will you stay here to deal with these gold and silver treasures, or will you explore with me? I suggest you stay here, and I will notify you if I find it! "

The expressions of several Ethiopians were a bit embarrassed and somewhat embarrassed.

However, none of them want to leave here, or dare not leave here.

The reason is simple, there is a serious lack of trust between them.

After a short while, the Deputy Mayor of Aksum said:

"Mr. Steven, you can start exploring, and I won't follow you anymore, but I will send an assistant to follow you, the effect is actually the same"

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the Nda Cion Church continued and said:

"Mr. Steven, as long as you can guarantee that this ancient church will not be destroyed during the exploration process, then you can start the action. Our people will follow the left and right and supervise the scene!"

"Okay, gentlemen, then I will take people away. Let's go our own way, and hope that we will all gain!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded and said.

Afterwards, he took people to the depths of the church and continued to explore.

He checked several places where metal objects were buried previously discovered by several exploration teams.

Some of these metal objects are buried deep underground, some are hidden in the walls, and even one is hidden on the ceiling.

Using pulsed metal detectors, everyone found them one by one.

Ye Tian and his staff analyze the detected metal signals to determine what these metal objects are, whether they are worth mining, and so on.

Of course, its main effect is still Ye Tian's perspective ability.

In the wall on the side of the altar of the church, he found a hidden compartment with a few gold bars hidden inside.

After some observation, he easily opened the secret compartment and took out the gold bars hidden in the 19th century.

This was a small surprise, but it wasn't enough to impress him.

Then came a pastor’s lounge, and they found a very hidden secret room.

In that secret room, a whole box of silver tableware was hidden.

Because of the long hiding time, the silver tableware made in the early twentieth century has been oxidized, has long lost its due luster, and is of little value.

In some other places of the church, everyone has also found out one after another.

Among them, there are metal objects buried deep underground, and antique cultural relics and works of art that have been overlooked in the church.

But in Ye Tian's view, none of these findings are of much value, and it is not worth wasting energy.

...

Unconsciously, the time has come to around six in the afternoon.

The tripartite joint exploration in the Nda Cion Church has all ended.

Although everyone did not find the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant, they found another treasure and received another surprise. It was not a waste of time.

When Ye Tian took the people back to the central hall of Nda Cion Church, the Tigray people had processed the half of the treasure that they had just divided up at noon, and the efficiency was very high!

Except for a limited number of antique cultural relics and artworks, as well as gold ingots and gems of various colors that can be realized at any time, other things have been processed by them!

They signed a series of agreements with Israel and the Vatican, as well as the other parties, and sold most of the treasures they had just split up.

Next, they also need to report to their immediate boss, and then they can complete the series of transactions.

The basis of these antique art transactions is the valuation given by Ye Tian.

During the previous evaluation, he guessed that it would be such a result.

Therefore, the valuations of many antique cultural relics and artworks are relatively high, which can be regarded as a small favor to Ethiopians.

After returning to the central hall, Ye Tian briefly introduced the situation.

In fact, everyone is aware of these conditions and knows that there will never be any surprises.

After introducing the situation, everyone talked a few more words.

Afterwards, Ye Tian said to the Ethiopians:

"Gentlemen, today our exploration at the Nda Cion Church has ended. Although we did not find the legendary Solomon treasure, there are also surprising and important discoveries. The harvest is very good!

Here, I would like to thank you all for your cooperation. Because of this, we can successfully carry out the exploratory action. In the next series of exploratory actions, I hope we can continue to cooperate! "

When the voice fell, the deputy mayor of Axum immediately said:

"Steven, I am very happy to cooperate with you. You are worthy of being the world's top treasure hunting company, and you are well-known. I hope that we can continue to cooperate to find more treasures and harvest more surprises!"

With that, the deputy mayor of Aksum stepped forward and shook hands with Ye Tian and the others one by one.

Subsequently, the employees of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company and some Israeli exploration team members began to pack the exploration equipment and put them all in the box.

After a while, everyone has finished cleaning up.

Next, everyone took many portable safes filled with gold and silver treasures, antique cultural relics and works of art, as well as various exploration equipment, and walked towards the entrance of the Nda Cion Church.

Seeing that everyone was leaving with half of the treasure, among the many Ethiopians in the church, one of them counted as one, and their eyes were all red.

"Just let this guy Steven take away half of the treasure, are we too bad?"

An official from the People's Front said in a low voice.

Before the voice fell, someone immediately echoed.

"Yes, we are really at a loss! How long did it take for these guys to take away half of the treasure in less than a day. It's so greedy!"

These guys who whispered all stood in the church hall, and did not send the three-party joint exploration team out of the church.

Representatives of all parties, including the deputy mayor of Aksum, followed Ye Tian and the others out of the church, preparing to send them away.

Ye Tian didn't hear the discussion of these guys in the church.

However, this is expected.

This is human nature, and he has already taken it off.

...

While talking, everyone has walked out of Nda Cion Cathedral.

At this time, the joint exploration convoy stopped at the entrance of the church, and there were many police and military vehicles in charge of security around.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others came out, especially the portable safes, the media reporters who had been guarding the church door for most of the day, immediately surged up like a tide.

As a result, they were stopped by the military police on duty, and they had to stay outside the cordon and ask questions loudly.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from Israel's national television station. We have received reliable news that a tripartite joint exploratory team has discovered a treasure in the Nda Cion Cathedral.

Can you tell us about this treasure? Is this treasure the legendary Solomon's treasure? Are the contents in those portable safes from this treasure? "

"Good afternoon, Steven, I'm a reporter from the NBC TV station. May I ask, what are the treasures in the Nda Cion Church? What age did the treasure come from? Who buried it?"

Hearing the questions raised by these media reporters, Ye Tian immediately stopped.

He looked at the deputy mayor of Axum, Joshua and others, and nodded at them.

Later, he looked at many media reporters and said with a smile:

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, it seems that our confidentiality work is very poor, and the news you have received is correct. We did find a treasure in the Nda Cion Church!"

Before the voice was over, the scene was boiling.

Although the media reporters on the scene had received the news a long time ago, they were still shocked when they heard Ye Tian personally say it.

"Steven, tell us about this treasure!"

"Did you find Solomon's treasure? Is the ark of the covenant in this treasure?"

Numerous media reporters rushed to raise questions one after another, like a chicken blood.

Ye Tian stretched out his hands and gently pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet.

Following his actions, the noise on the scene immediately dropped.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tianqinglang's voice came out again.

"Here, let me introduce you to this treasure. First of all, this treasure hidden deep underground in the Nda Cion Church is not the legendary treasure of Solomon.

The scale of this treasure is small, and the overall value is not very high. The person who buried this treasure was Bishop Alfonso Mendes who spread Catholicism in Ethiopia in the early 17th century.

We will post the relevant video materials about exploring, digging, and cleaning up this treasure later on the Internet. You can find out that those video materials are very detailed..."

Next, Ye Tian briefly introduced the situation of this treasure, and answered questions from some media reporters.

After the performance, he boarded the bulletproof armored vehicle parked beside him, and left the Nda Cion Church with the tripartite joint exploration team.

Seeing the joint exploration convoy moving away, everyone standing at the door of the church was envious, and even their eyes flushed with jealousy.

"The luck of this guy Steven is really good. All the treasures seem to be prepared for him. God is so unfair!"

"I have a hunch that Aksum will be looted wildly by Steven, and the treasures buried in this city may not escape bad luck!"

Just as people talked about it, the tripartite joint exploration team has galloped away.

It didn't take long for everyone to return to the hotel smoothly.

Just like when leaving in the morning, there are a large number of military police scattered around the hotel, one post at three steps, one guard at five steps, but there are not many pedestrians in sight, and no one protests and demonstrates here.

Those Orthodox monks and believers who blocked the entrance of the hotel yesterday did not show up again today, and suddenly disappeared!

The motorcade came to the entrance of the hotel, and Ye Tian quickly checked the surrounding situation as usual.

After confirming that there was no danger, he led people into the hotel.

Soon, he returned to the suite upstairs.

Joshua and the Bishop of Kent, as well as Cole and Seaman, also followed.

When everyone sat down in the living room, Ye Tian said immediately:

"Cole, Seaman, tell all the guys to be vigilant and take precautions. Although the half of the treasure we just brought back is not very valuable, it is enough to make many people crazy.

This is Tigray State. Everyone has a deep malice towards the tripartite joint exploration team. You can't be too careful. You must be careful before the treasure is shipped."

"Understood, Steven, don't worry, we will strengthen security and make sure that nothing goes wrong!"

Cole and the others responded in unison, both full of confidence.

Ye Tian nodded lightly, then turned to look at Joshua.

"When will the Israeli military's plane carrying arms and supplies to the Tien Front arrive in Axum?"

After turning into an arms dealer, Joshua's old face turned red, but he returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

After all, it is an old fried dough stick that has been in the political arena for many years~www.readwn.com~ The skin is thicker than the city wall.

"In order to cover people's eyes and ears, the military's transport aircraft for munitions will arrive in Aksum at about 3 in the morning. This is the first batch of munitions and materials we promised to provide to the People's Front.

This batch of munitions is mainly a variety of guns and ammunition, and the quantity is not very large. When this batch of munitions is unloaded, you can take away half of your company's treasure when you return to Israel!

The military will use helicopters to fly directly from the airport to the hotel to pick up the half of the treasure. You only need to send two employees or security personnel to follow, and leave the rest to us! "

"At around three in the morning, this is a good time to avoid the eyes and ears of many people. When others react, this treasure has been transported away. I will arrange for the handover in Tel Aviv!"

Ye Tian nodded and said with a light smile.

"Wow! So you have arranged everything, the efficiency is amazing!"

The Bishop of Kent, who had just heard about it, couldn't help but be amazed.
