Chapter 3009 Good News From the Capital
After nearly a day of cleaning, all the things that could be transported in this treasure hidden in the cliff cave were cleaned out, hung down the cliff one by one, and piled up at the bottom of the valley.
There are not only a large number of dazzling gold and silver treasures, gemstones of various colors, but also many valuable antique cultural relics, and works of art like sculptures. The total value is amazing.
For these things cleaned up from the cave, Ye Tian appraised them one by one, and gave an accurate valuation based on the current market conditions.
The Sudanese were a little skeptical about the appraisal opinion and valuation given by him at first!
But after some consultation and verification, the Sudanese immediately entered with doubts, and instead became more trusting of Ye Tian than the Israelis!
At the same time of appraisal and evaluation, Ye Tian also selected a few unique top-level antique relics and artworks that have nothing to do with religion and death, and planned to collect them for himself and display them in his private museum in the future.
Like the previous cooperations, he handed over these carefully selected top antiques and artworks to the Israelis for transshipment to Tel Aviv.
When these top-level antiques and works of art arrive in Tel Aviv, they will be taken over by the employees of Intrepid Exploration Company and transported to Beijing.
After appraising the treasures cleared from the cave, Ye Tian climbed up the cliff again, climbed into the cave on the cliff, and began to appraise those immovable antiques and artworks.
There are not many such antique relics and works of art. They are basically stone sculptures carved on the walls of the cave. They are integrated with the cave and it is difficult to separate them.
Appraisals are going fast!
In less than half an hour, Ye Tian completed the appraisal, then climbed out of the cave and came down from the cliff.
Then, after giving an overall valuation of the treasure, he left the valley with his company employees and security personnel.
Next, how to deal with and distribute this treasure has nothing to do with him, that is a problem between the Sudanese government and the Israeli government!
When the group returned to Dongola, it was already noon the next day!
Less than half an hour after returning to the hotel, the Israeli government transferred half of the purchase price for the treasure to the company's bank account, which was very refreshing.
Ye Tian immediately received a call from the company's financial manager to confirm that the payment had arrived, and his private bank manager also called to confirm the source of the huge sum of money!
At this point, the transaction is basically completed.
The only thing that hasn't been done is to transfer the few top antique cultural relics and artworks.
After finishing these things, Ye Tian also relaxed, and then began to celebrate with his company employees and security personnel, enjoying the joy of success!
After a brief celebration, he returned to his suite.
Back in the suite, he was about to wash up and rest to refresh himself, when his sister-in-law called.
As soon as the phone was connected, he heard good news.
"Xiaotian, the acquisition and renovation of Lishi Hutong that you have been thinking about for a long time has finally come to fruition. After some demonstration and research, the relevant departments of the city government have decided to accept your proposed overall acquisition and renovation plan.
Of course, the urban construction and planning department still made some fine-tuning, especially for those protected historical buildings. Any renovation must be approved and approved by the relevant cultural relics protection department. Without permission, no unauthorized changes are allowed.
We need to do the compensation for the relocation of the existing residents in the hutong by ourselves, and the relevant departments of the city government can come forward to coordinate and cooperate, and we are required to guarantee the interests of the many neighbors and neighbors in the hutong.
In other words, you have to prepare a large sum of money, and wait to be slaughtered by those old and young men and aunts in the alley. As for the old neighbors and old neighbors in our alley, which one can spare you, kid? "
"Great! Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work!"
Ye Tian cheered directly, and waved his fist vigorously to show his celebration.
Immediately afterwards, he said confidently:
"As long as the city government agrees to let me acquire and renovate the entire Lishi Hutong,
That's it! In this way, I can let go and make Lishi Hutong the best historical neighborhood in Beijing.
As for money, don’t worry about it at all. I have money in my hand, and I’m worried that I have nowhere to spend it. If I don’t spend more money, I will end up taking advantage of the vultures of the IRS.
Just over an hour ago, the Israeli government just transferred a huge sum of money to my company bank account, which is the payment for my sale of 50% of the Dongola treasure.
In addition to this huge sum of money, several top-notch antiques and artworks will be shipped to Beijing in two days. Then you will take someone to the airport to receive them, and then store them in the vault! "
"Understood, we saw reports about this treasure on the news, you are so lucky, it seems that all the treasures are prepared for you!"
"Let's talk about the acquisition and overall renovation of Lishi Hutong. I believe those old neighbors and neighbors in our Hutong are reasonable. Everyone hopes to renovate the Hutong.
Who doesn't want to live more comfortably and have a better living environment? So I believe that my plan will definitely be able to get everyone's support, of course, the compensation for everyone must also be in place!
I will transfer hundreds of millions of dollars to you later, as the start-up capital of this project, and when the acquisition work is officially launched, there will be a large amount of funds transferred to you, as much as you want! "
"Hey! As much as you want, you are so arrogant, you are not afraid of flashing your waist!"
"That's right, I'm still modest. In New York right now, your nephew may not be the richest man, but I'm definitely the one with the most cash in my hand, unmatched!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, extremely confident.
Next, he and his sister-in-law continued to chat about the acquisition and renovation of the entire Lishi Hutong, and discussed some details.
Afterwards, he also asked about the construction progress of the private museum and other information.
The construction of the private museum is progressing very smoothly.
The foundation of the museum has been laid at this time and is very solid.
Now wait for the custom-made vault to arrive. After the vault arrives and the installation is completed, other construction work will begin in an orderly manner.
By then, the construction progress will be much faster than it is now.
It won't be long before a top private museum in the world will rise up on Wangfujing Street, complementing the Palace Museum which is close at hand.
After chatting for nearly an hour, the transoceanic phone call just came to an end.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian transferred 500 million U.S. dollars to the Beijing company's account, which was used as start-up capital for the acquisition and renovation of the Lishi Hutong project.
After transferring the money, he immediately sent a voice message to my sister-in-law to pay attention to receiving it.
Later, he used the company's own satellite communication equipment to start a video call with Betty.
At this time, Betty was at home in Beijing, and her mother happened to be by her side.
As soon as the video was connected, before I had time to talk to Betty, my mother appeared in the camera, gritted her molars and said:
"You bastard, you still know that you have a wife and child. In one and a half months, Betty is going to give birth. Get the hell out of here. If you don't come back, I'll break your leg!"
Seeing that it was his mother, Ye Tian immediately said with a smile:
"Mom! We are in Sudan now, and there are only a few stops in the future. This tripartite joint exploration operation is about to end. I will definitely be able to return to Beijing before Betty goes into labor!
Don't worry, I will never miss the important moment of my son's birth, and I will trouble you and my dad to help take good care of Betty, so that nothing goes wrong! "
Mom rolled him an angry look.
"It's up to you to say this? Your wife is pregnant with my grandson. Can I take good care of it? Don't worry, I've already taken a long vacation to take care of Betty and my grandson at home.
There is one thing I must warn you, no matter whether this tripartite joint exploration operation is successful or not, you must return to Beijing one month later, this is not negotiable! "
"Come on! It's all up to you, I will hurry back as soon as possible!"
Ye Tian nodded in response, how dare he say no.
After chatting for a few more words, my mother withdrew from the camera and left the room.
At this time, looking at his wife in the camera who was a little fatter but full of maternal brilliance, Ye Tian couldn't help feeling apologetic.
"I'm sorry, my dear, I have been wronged for not being with you during this period of time!"
Betty shook her head, smiled and said:
"Don't be sorry, my dear, this is your job! Besides, we meet via video every day and chat for a long time, which is not very different from staying together.
Compared with meeting, I care more about your safety. You must protect yourself and come back safely. My child and I are waiting for you in Beijing. Don’t forget the duke title you promised your child! "
"Don't worry, my dear, I will never forget it! If the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant really exist, then I will definitely be able to spell out a duke title for our son.
Let's not talk about exploring the treasure, let's talk about you and your son, how are you doing, and did you respond today? Is the son naughty? Show me that little guy! "
Ye Tian said confidently, and immediately became concerned about the situation of his wife and children.
On the other end of the video, Betty smiled softly and looked at her high belly with happiness.
"We are all fine, the body doesn't respond to it, the morning sickness period has passed, and I have adapted to the current situation. My son is still as naughty as before. He will kick me from time to time. You can look at him!"
As she spoke, Betty lifted her skirt and pointed the phone camera at her belly.
Seeing the high bulging belly pregnant with new life on the video screen, Ye Tian couldn't help sobbing, and was instantly speechless with happiness!
...
Soon, the time came to night.
Joshua and Seaman also returned to Dongola with the Israeli members of the tripartite joint exploration team and many Israeli security personnel.
They also brought back the top-level antiques and artworks carefully selected by Ye Tian, and they were going to ship them to Tel Aviv, Israel!
As for the treasure on the cliff of the valley, it was completely handed over to the new joint exploration team composed of the Israeli government and the Sudanese government, and that team will continue to carry out excavation and archaeological research.
The tripartite joint exploration team that discovered this treasure was completely separated from this matter, and prepared to continue down the Nile Valley to explore the legendary Solomon's treasure and the Ark of the Covenant.
After returning to the hotel to wash up, Joshua came to Ye Tian's suite with several top-level antiques and artworks.
After entering the door, he opened the portable safe containing these top antique cultural relics and works of art one by one, and said to Ye Tian:
"Steven, these are the few top antique cultural relics and works of art you have selected. We have reached an agreement with the Sudan, and you can take them away.
Now you check out these top antiques and works of art, and once you're sure they're all right, you can lock them in these portable safes and enter a combination.
Next, our people will leave Dongola with these portable safes, return directly to Tel Aviv, hand them over to your people, and transfer them to Beijing! "
"Okay, Joshua, let me check!"
Ye Tian nodded in agreement, and then stepped forward, pretending to be serious and began to inspect these top-level antiques and artworks.
Needless to say, the result was no problem at all!
He then locked the portable safes and re-entered the password.
During the next transfer process, no one can open these portable safes unless they are violently destroyed!
The little sister who got the password from Ye Tian could not open these portable safes until they arrived in Beijing!
After completing these tasks and signing the corresponding legal documents, the portable safes were transported away by the Israelis and shipped overnight to Tel Aviv, Israel.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was another day.
The tripartite joint exploration team, which rested in Dongola for a few days, set off again and went south along the Nile Valley to continue exploring the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant.
When Ye Tian and his group walked out of the hotel, many media reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel immediately rushed up like a tide, asking questions loudly.
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from the Sudanese National Television. It seems that you are leaving Dongola. Where is your next stop? Is it Khartoum or other places in Sudan? Can you tell everyone? explain?"
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, if the tripartite joint exploration team leaves now, does it mean that the treasure hidden in the valley southwest of Dongola has been excavated and cleared? Can you tell me the specific situation?"
Hearing these questions, Ye Tian immediately stopped and looked at the media reporters who were stopped outside the cordon.
He glanced at these guys, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, we are indeed leaving Dongola and continue to explore south to find the legendary treasure of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant.
Regarding our next exploration location, we need to keep it secret for the time being, and we cannot tell everyone. When we arrive at that place and start exploring, everyone will naturally receive the news.
As for the treasure in the southwestern valley of Dongola, a new joint exploration team formed by the Israeli government and the Sudanese government has taken over to carry out further cleaning and archaeological work.
In other words, this treasure has nothing to do with the tripartite joint exploration team. If you want to know the situation of this treasure, it is best to go to the representatives of the Sudanese government and the Israeli government.
That's all I have to say, and that's all for this interview! Next, we are about to hit the road. In the follow-up exploration process, I hope we can find something. I wish you all a good day! "
After speaking, Ye Tian waved to these media reporters, and then boarded the Israeli military vehicle parked beside him.
Immediately afterwards, other members of the tripartite joint exploration team got into the car one after another, and there was a sound of opening and closing the car door.
Soon, this huge joint exploration convoy started with a bang, slowly drove away from the hotel, then left Dongola, and continued to gallop south!
As in the past, those guys who have been keeping an eye on the tripartite joint exploration team, as well as many media reporters, immediately drove up to follow, like a shadow!
