Treasure Hunt all over the World

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

Ye Tian walked into the Sotheby's auction house in Manhattan with the double-headed violin carrying two 1:43 Ferrari sports car models in his backpack.

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

After confirming the choice, he got in touch with the auction director of Sotheby's fine craftsmanship category in the morning, and sent the photos of these treasures in his hand to the other party.

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

Soon they completed the preliminary identification through photos, and then asked Ye Tian to bring the real object for identification and evaluation, and signed an entrusted auction contract.

The one who arrived at Sotheby's at the same time as Ye Tian was 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 trouble and prevent the auction company from being trapped.

Who said that top auction houses don't cheat people, they can eat people without spitting bones if they have a chance!

In the lobby of the auction house, Ye Tian met his lawyer as scheduled.

This is a tall white man in his 30s or 40s, with a suit and leather shoes, his hair and face neatly tidied up, meticulous all over, carrying a black briefcase, and wearing a typical Wall Street elite attire.

Seeing Ye Tian appear, he immediately walked over with a smile.

"Hey! Steven, long time no see"

"Good morning! David, it's really been a long time, how are you doing? Seeing that you're so radiant, are you getting some good work?"

Ye Tian greeted with a smile, and greeted David with a fist bump.

This is an acquaintance, a college alumnus, several years higher than Ye Tian, ​​and the relationship between the two is not bad.

David is a practicing lawyer and works in the famous Sullivan Law Firm, which is the cooperative law firm of the hedge fund where Ye Tian worked at the beginning.

"It's alright! I just completed a company merger and acquisition case 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 was completely shut out of Wall Street, and no hedge fund or investment bank wanted to hire us! I live in Brooklyn, and I’ve been down and out for a while, and things have changed!”

"Then you're not bad. I met Bowie on the street two days ago. He is living on social assistance now. After a few chats, he said he would go back to Dallas in a few days to see if there is any chance there!"

David sighed with emotion, his face full of regret.

Ye Tian and Bowie were former colleagues. They worked in a hedge fund and traded financial derivatives. They were the golden collars of Wall Street that many people envied.

Because of the mistakes of the team boss and the subsequent series of crazy and impulsive behaviors, the company caused huge irreparable losses and even brought a lot of shock to the market.

After the incident, their entire group was kicked out by hedge funds and blacklisted in the industry, so no company dared to use them.

Afterwards, everyone's situation was rather miserable. The boss of the group was imprisoned. It would be difficult to see the sunshine outside again in this life. The property that had been working hard for decades was either confiscated or auctioned.

The rest, without exception, all ended in bankruptcy!

Some people are desperate and leave New York immediately to find their way 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 a hedge fund, and other careers in the financial field are estimated to be enough.

There are also people who are still holding on to the last glimmer of hope in New York, looking forward to the arrival of the day when the clouds and the sun will come. Bowie is like this, but he obviously can't hold on now, and he is ready to go back to Texas!

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

"Like Bowie,

Not long ago, I was almost reduced to receiving social assistance! Give me Bowie's phone later, and I'll contact him later, my phone dropped in the water, and I lost my phone number."

Hearing Bowie's situation, Ye Tian's mood suddenly became a little gloomy, and he felt the same way!

Now that his situation has improved, it is time to help Bowie, who used to be on good terms, to prevent his situation from getting worse.

"No wonder you don't call me directly, but find me through the law firm! No problem, I'll send you Bowie's cell phone number when I get back, and send you the rest of the way.

Steven, please ask, what work are you doing now? How did you get involved with Sotheby's? You don't run an auction house or an antique shop, do you? "

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

"That's right! You guessed it right, I have now completely left the financial industry and become a professional treasure hunter. I came to Sotheby's this time because I have a few things to hand over to them for auction.

The purpose of asking you to come is also very clear, help me review the entrusted auction contract, and then witness it, the fee will be according to your standard, there will definitely be such things in the future, and I will find you again"

Ye Tian didn't hide it, and said his current occupation with a smile.

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

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

From Wall Street gold to professional treasure hunters, the span is too big, right? Can you stand it? Eight poles can't hit!

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

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

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

"That's right, I am indeed a professional treasure hunter now, and my grades are okay. This is the treasure I found, and the value is not low, so I sent it to Sotheby's for auction!"

Although it still felt incredible, David didn't ask any further questions, but focused on the guitar in Ye Tian's hand and asked curiously:

"Steven, whose guitar is this? It's going to be auctioned off at Sotheby's. Is it worth a lot?"

"This is the red two-headed piano from Gunhua. The treasure I dug up in the abandoned warehouse is a one-of-a-kind 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 was very detailed. David was his lawyer. All this information must be clearly understood.

"Wow!"

David opened his mouth wide in shock, and an envious look began to appear in his eyes.

Immediately after that, he asked excitedly:

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

"Yes, this is the Crossroad that has appeared countless times on the stage, how about it? Is it worth it? Should it be put up for auction?"

Ye Tian proudly raised the guitar in his hand again and gave a positive answer.

"Wow! It's so valuable! In the eyes of some people, it's priceless, and no amount of money can buy it! Dude, you're so lucky! To be able to pick up such a treasure!"

There was another burst of 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 the most popular time for guns and flowers. How could he not know this guitar and its value?

While excited, David was even more envious.

There is no problem selling this guitar for hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is no less or even more than the Wall Street gold collar!

At this time, he also admired Ye Tian a little.

I didn't expect that this kid was kicked out of Wall Street, and he was able to get along well, which is really surprising!

While joking, 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 here"

"OK! Let's go, I really want to see this famous two-headed violin!"

David said excitedly, with a look of impatience on his face.

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

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