Chapter 943 Welcome to Bet
Two days later, Columbia University.
As soon as Ye Tian got out of the Paramount Predator car, the cell phone in his pocket rang, and it was Jason calling.
"Steven, the cultural counselor of the Spanish embassy and consulate in New York, the cultural counselor of the Colombian embassy and consulate in New York, and several entourages, come to our company together!
These guys don't look very friendly, they want to see you by name, but the security guards didn't let them in, they all stopped at the entrance of the company, are you coming back to see them?
Jason quickly explained the situation with a bit of disdain in his tone.
"I won't go back to the company, there is no need to go back at all! I know the purpose of those guys very well. They must be here for the treasures of the sunken ship. What else is there for?
The press conference we held yesterday, as well as the newly announced shipwreck treasure and a large number of gold and silver treasures must have stimulated these greedy guys, so they came to the company early in the morning!
No matter what they say, don't pay attention to them, and don't let them enter the company, just hang them at the door, and they will leave if they feel bored. They are not ordinary people, and they have to worry about face!
These guys are all diplomats and enjoy diplomatic immunity. Be careful when dealing with them and try not to cause conflicts. You should immediately notify the building management and let the building management deal with it!
If these guys don't listen to the dissuasion and rush in, then don't be polite, let Cole and the others do it directly, don't be shy, and be sure to leave video evidence when doing it, so as to be invincible! "
Ye Tian sneered and said in a low voice, with a murderous look in his words.
"Understood, Steven, leave the company to us, don't worry!"
Jason's voice came from the phone immediately, very confident and excited.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian strode towards the office building not far ahead.
Mattis and Walker followed closely behind, both on high alert and ready to respond.
The appearance of the three of them immediately caused a small commotion.
No matter the teachers and students of Columbia University nearby, or the few New York policemen who came after them, Monk Zhang Er was a little puzzled and didn't understand why they came!
"Why did this guy Steven come to our university? What is he doing in the office building of the Liberal Studies College? When I see this guy, I feel like my heart is jumping!"
"There should be something! He has been to the Liberal Studies College several times before,
It seems that he is very familiar with Professor Kane, so he probably didn't come here to cause trouble! "
Ye Tian didn't care about the surprised gazes and discussions around him at all, and continued to move forward as if there was no one else around, and soon walked into the office building of the College of General Education.
About ten minutes later, he was already in an office of the School of History, sitting on the sofa talking with someone.
There were two people sitting opposite him, one was an old acquaintance, Douglas, an expert on Latin American history at Columbia University's School of History; the other was a Hispanic man, a cultural counselor from the Costa Rica embassy and consulate!
After introducing each other and exchanging greetings, everyone got to the point.
"Mr. Alfonso, since your government of Costa Rica accepts the terms of cooperation I offered and intends to reveal the famous treasure of Lima, there is basically no difference between us!
I believe that with our concerted efforts, the treasure of Lima will be found on Cocos Island, and this world-famous pirate treasure will be rediscovered, shocking the whole world!
Right now, we are short of signing the contract for the joint exploration operation. As long as all three parties sign the contract and the contract comes into effect, we can start the preparatory work! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, staring at the cultural counselor of the Costa Rica embassy opposite.
The reason why he appeared at Columbia University and Professor Douglas's office today is to cooperate in exploring the treasures of Lima!
In view of confidentiality reasons, Alfonso, cultural counselor of the Costa Rica embassy, chose to meet here, which is a very good choice and can indeed avoid a lot of attention.
Alfonso shook his head helplessly, and then explained:
"Mr. Steven, our government of Costa Rica really hopes to cooperate with your Darius and Columbia University to explore the famous treasure of Lima.
After some serious discussions and discussions, we can basically accept the conditions you offered, but the time to formally sign the joint exploration contract is not now!
Your salvaging shipwreck treasures in the Caribbean Sea this time has caused a great sensation and controversy, especially in the countries along the Caribbean Sea, your reputation is really not good!
Although Cocos Island, where the treasure of Lima is buried, is in the Pacific Ocean, Costa Rica is also a country on the coast of the Caribbean Sea. We must take into account the influence and absolutely do not want to be the target of public criticism!
If we sign a contract to jointly explore the treasures of Lima at this time and announce it to the public, it will definitely attract countless voices of protest. That kind of situation is not what we want to see in Costa Rica.
Especially the sharing conditions you proposed, although they are reasonable, but their disclosure during this sensitive period may trigger a huge wave of criticism! There are not many people who can look at problems rationally!
Although Lima's treasure is very attractive and exciting! But compared with the stable political environment in our country, it is not worth mentioning. Obviously, now is not a suitable time to sign a contract.
After you have finished dealing with the treasures of the sunken ships in the Caribbean Sea, and the storm basically subsides, we will sign a joint exploration contract. There is plenty of time, and June and July are the most suitable months to go to Cocos Island for treasure hunting! "
As soon as the words fell, Professor Douglas immediately continued:
"Mr. Alfonso is right, Steven, the commotion you have caused in the Caribbean Sea is too great! God knows how many people's eyes are already red with jealousy because of the treasures of those shipwrecks!
Now is indeed not a suitable time to sign a contract. Fortunately, there is enough time. Before June, I believe we will be able to sign the joint exploration contract and go to Cocos Island to hunt for treasure as scheduled! "
"Since this is the case, then sign the contract later! Even if the trip is not possible this year, go to Cocos Island to explore the treasure of Lima, then next year, the treasure will not run away anyway! Any time!"
Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, his expression was very relaxed, and he couldn't see the slightest sense of loss.
For him, it doesn't really matter when he goes to Cocos Island to explore Lima's treasure. Even if he misses this world-famous pirate treasure, there is nothing to regret.
There are plenty of pirate treasures, if this one doesn't work, just change to another one! With his increasingly powerful clairvoyance ability, is there any treasure that he can't discover? It's only a matter of time!
Of course, if we can sign a joint exploration contract before June and go to Cocos Island to explore the treasures of Lima as scheduled, that would be perfect, and it will be a wish!
"Steven, I would like to ask, what happened to the octagonal cage duel between you and 'Bone' Jon Jones? It has been very popular in the media in the past two days, and there are many professional analysis articles!
It can be seen from those articles that many fighting experts are not optimistic that you can win, are you sure? Can you defeat that guy Jon Jones and get out of the octagonal cage safely?
As far as I know, that guy Jon Jones is a top fighter and even a notorious villain! If you can't win the battle, there will be no cooperation between us! "
Alfonso asked worriedly, apparently doubting Ye Tian's strength.
The reason why the Costa Rican government did not choose to sign the contract now is probably one of the reasons. They were worried that Ye Tian would not be able to get out of the octagonal cage safely, and even worried that he would be killed by Jon Jones.
If so, the joint exploration of Lima's treasures and the action of generating that huge wealth is a joke, and it is impossible to realize! The signed contract doesn't make any sense either!
Not only Alfonso, but Professor Douglas is also very concerned about this question. He is watching him now, expecting him to give an answer.
Ye Tian smiled and said with a relaxed expression:
"The cause of that octagonal cage duel was the grievance between me and the Hell's Angels. This is the way we resolve our grievances. We speak with our fists. Of course, there is a huge bet of 200 million U.S. dollars!
Jon Jones will represent the Hells Angels. Although he is very powerful, I am extremely confident that he will win the battle inside the octagonal cage. The winner who finally walks out of the octagonal cage must be me!
If you believe me, you may wish to bet on me, it will be a nice surprise! As far as I know, the major bookmakers have opened their betting markets today, and you can place your bets"
"Wow! Steven, you guys are so confident! If that's the case, then I have to support you. I can gamble a few hundred dollars and hope to get a surprise!"
Douglas said excitedly, obviously a casino veteran.
"Then you have to hurry up, Professor Douglas, you may not have a chance if you are too late! Because I am also going to place a bet myself, and I have a lot of money, betting on myself to win!
Once I make a large bet, some bookmakers are likely to adjust the odds immediately for risk control considerations, and may even close the market and no longer accept bets! "
Ye Tian said jokingly, extremely confident.
After chatting for a few words, Alfonso talked about the joint exploration of Lima's treasure.
"Steven, I must declare in advance that when I went to Cocos Island to explore Lima's treasure, the target was only limited to Lima's treasure, not including other pirate treasures on the island.
According to Costa Rican law, all treasures on Cocos Island and the surrounding waters belong to the Costa Rican government, and anyone who explores must obtain government approval.
From this salvage operation of sunken treasures in the Caribbean Sea, we can see that your brave and fearless exploration company is very strong. In order to avoid unpleasant incidents, I must declare in advance! "
"No problem, ever since I got that treasure map and knew where the Lima treasure was actually hidden, I have studied the laws of Costa Rica and know the relevant regulations!
Please rest assured that the main goal of our company is the treasure of Lima, and we will not play with other pirate treasures. Just the treasure of Lima is already attractive enough!
If other pirate treasures are found during this process, we will apply to the Costa Rican government for joint exploration, and we will never dig without authorization! "
Ye Tian smiled lightly and nodded, without any objection.
Although he said so on his lips, in his heart, he had another thought.
As long as you successfully land on Cocos Island, it's up to you, but wherever you pass, don't even try to escape your buddies' eyes for any treasures!
