Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 35: Meet old friends



   The next day, one o'clock in the afternoon.

   Ye Tian carried the double-headed piano and walked into the Sotheby's auction house in Manhattan. There were two 1:43 Ferrari models in his backpack.

   After some research and thinking, and compared the recent auction arrangements between Sotheby's and Christie's, Ye Tian finally chose Sotheby's to quickly realize these treasures in his hands.

   After confirming his choice, he contacted the person in charge of the auction of Sotheby's Crafts and Fine Arts in the morning and sent photos of the treasures in his hands to the other party.

   Sotheby's is naturally very happy to take over such a business.

   Soon they completed the preliminary appraisal through photos, and then asked Ye Tiandai to come over for appraisal and evaluation, and signed a commission auction contract.

   At the same time as Ye Tian arrived at Sotheby's, and his lawyer.

   The amount of this transaction is not small, and it is very necessary for lawyers to participate, which can avoid a lot of troubles and prevent being trapped by the auction company.

  Who said that the top auction houses will not cheat people, they have the opportunity to eat people and not spit bones!

   In the lobby of the auction house, Ye Tianru met his lawyer.

   This is a tall white man in his 30s and 40s. He has a clean suit and leather shoes, his hair is neat and tidy, he is meticulous all over his body, carrying a black briefcase, and is dressed as a typical Wall Street elite.

   Seeing Ye Tian appear, he immediately smiled and walked over quickly.

   "Hey! Steven, long time no see"

   "Good morning! David, it's been a long time indeed, how are you doing? Seeing you are glorious, do you take something to live?"

   Ye Tian smiled and greeted him, and banged his fist with David.

   This is an acquaintance, a university alumnus, several years older than Ye Tian, ​​and the two have a good relationship.

   David is a practicing lawyer, working in the famous Sullivan Law Firm, which was the cooperative law firm of the hedge fund where Ye Tian was originally located.

   "It's okay! I just completed a company merger and acquisition a few days ago and made a fortune. How are you doing? I heard that everyone in your group has been blacklisted?"

   Hearing David's question, Ye Tian nodded with a wry smile.

   "Yes, our entire group has been completely rejected by Wall Street, and no hedge fund or investment bank is willing to hire us! I now live in Brooklyn, and I’ve been down for a while, but it’s changed!"

   "Then you are not bad. I ran into Bowie on the street two days ago. He is now living on social assistance. After talking a few words, he said that he will return to Dallas in a few days to see if there is a chance there!"

   David sighed with emotion, his expression full of regret.

   Ye Tian and Bowie were former colleagues. They worked in a hedge fund and traded financial derivatives. They were Wall Street gold collars that countless people envied.

   Because of the mistakes of the team boss and a series of crazy and impulsive behaviors, the company has caused huge and irreparable losses, and even brought a big impact on the market.

   After the Dongchuang incident, their entire group was swept out by hedge funds, and they were on the industry blacklist. No company dared to use it.

  Everyone was in a miserable situation. The boss of the group went to jail. It would be difficult to see the sunshine outside in this life. The family property that had worked hard for decades was either confiscated or auctioned off. It was extremely impoverished overnight!

   The rest, without exception, all ended in bankruptcy!

   Some people were desperate and left New York immediately to find a way out and hope elsewhere.

   But no matter where they are in the United States, it is impossible for them to find a job in an investment bank or hedge fund. Other careers in the financial field are estimated to be choking.

   There are also people who still hold on to New York with the last hope, looking forward to the day when the clouds are seen, Bowie is like this, but he obviously can’t hold on now, and is ready to go back to Texas!

   There are people like Ye Tian who have completely left the financial industry and embarked on another path.

   "Like Bowie, I almost fell to receiving social assistance not long ago! You will give Bowie's phone number later, and I will contact him when I turn back. My phone dropped into the water and all my phone numbers were lost."

   Hearing Bowie's situation, Ye Tian's mood suddenly became a little gloomy, empathizing!

   Now that his situation has changed, he can help Bowie, who was in a good relationship before, lest his situation get worse.

   "No wonder you don't call me directly, but find me through the law firm! No problem, I will send you Bowie's cell phone number later, and send you the rest of the people by the way.

  Steven, what do you do now? Why is it related to Sotheby's? You won't enter the auction house or antique shop anymore? "

   David is obviously curious about Ye Tian's current state.

   "That's right! You guessed it, I have now completely left the financial industry and become a professional treasure hunter. This time I came to Sotheby's and I had a few things to be auctioned off.

   The purpose of asking you to come is also very clear. Help me review the entrusted auction contract and witness it again. The charge will be based on your standard. There will definitely be such things in the future, and I will call you."

   Ye Tian didn't hide it either, smiled and said about his current occupation.

   "Ah -! Professional treasure hunter! How is this possible?"

   David exclaimed directly, with an incredible expression on his face.

   From Wall Street gold collar to professional treasure hunter, the span is too big, right? Can it survive? You can't fight with eight poles!

   Seeing David's shocked expression, Ye Tian smiled immediately.

   As long as you know, anyone who hears that he has become a professional treasure hunter will behave like this, which is indeed a bit weird!

   Then he raised the guitar in his hand and said with a smile:

   "That's right, I'm indeed a professional treasure hunter now, with good grades. This is the treasure I found. The value is not low, so I sent it to Sotheby's for auction!"

   Although it still felt very incredible, David didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he turned his attention to the guitar in Ye Tian's hand and asked curiously:

   "Steven, whose guitar is this? It's going to be sold to Sotheby's for auction. Is it valuable?"

  "This is the red double-headed piano that was shot at the gun. The treasure I dug in the abandoned warehouse is a unique guitar. The value of this piano is definitely not low, so I sent it to Sotheby's."

   Ye Tian explained the origin of the guitar in his hand. It is very detailed. David is his own lawyer. You must understand this information clearly.

"Wow!"

   David opened his mouth in shock, and an enviable look began to emerge in UU's eyes reading www.uukanshu.com.

   Immediately afterwards, he immediately asked excitedly:

   "If I understand correctly, this is the famous Crossroad?"

   "Yes, this is the Crossroad that has appeared on the stage countless times, how about it? It's a bit worthwhile? Shouldn't it be sent to auction?"

   Ye Tian proudly raised the guitar in his hand again and gave an affirmative answer.

   "Wow! It's so valuable! This is a priceless treasure in the eyes of some people, you can't buy it for a lot of money! Man, you are so lucky! You can actually find this kind of treasure!"

   There was another excitement, and David was so excited that he was almost crazy.

   This kind of performance is completely normal. When David was in middle school, it was when the guns were the hottest. How could he not know this guitar and its value?

   While excited, David jealous even more envy.

   There is nothing wrong with selling this guitar for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is no less than the Wall Street gold-collar earning, or even more!

   At this time, he admired Ye Tian a bit.

   I didn’t expect this kid to be kicked out of Wall Street, and he could be so fluent, it’s really surprising!

   While talking and laughing, Ye Tian raised his eyes and looked at the clock hanging in the front hall.

   It's almost time.

   Then he said to David:

   "Let’s go in, the appointment time is almost up"

   "OK! Let's go, I want to see this famous double-headed piano so much!"

   David said excitedly, his face full of impatient expression.

   Seeing his performance, Ye Tian suddenly showed a bright smile on his face.

   "Dude, be mentally prepared, there will be bigger surprises later!"
