Monday, ten o'clock in the morning.
Sotheby's auction house, the sports collection department reception room.
Ye Tian drank coffee leisurely, with a relaxed expression. Lawyer David was reviewing the commissioned auction contract next to him.
There are three Sotheby's employees, one is Billy, the head of the sports collection department, and the other two are experts in sports collection appraisal.
They are appraising Ye Tian's box of New York Yankees baseball collections carefully, and each of them has a surprised expression.
Especially Supervisor Billy, his eyes are very bright, like searchlights, looking a bit crazy!
He is a native of New York and a diehard Yankee fan. It's not surprising to have such a performance! It's basically the same for any other Yankees fan, or even more!
Five minutes passed.
The two experts continued to concentrate on appraising each collection, and Billy raised his head.
"Steven, thank you again for choosing Sotheby's and entrusting us to auction these baseball collections; I am deeply honored to see Gehrig's signature baseball of "Yankee Pride". It is a perfect morning!"
Billy said excitedly.
At this time, although his mood has calmed down a bit, his face is still red with excitement. He is not like a professional in his forties, but more like a baseball enthusiast in his seventeen or eighteen years.
"Billy, you are welcome, I chose Sotheby's because of your excellent reputation. I believe this is a win-win cooperation."
Ye Tian smiled and replied.
"Of course, as long as the auction announcement of these baseball collections is released, it will definitely cause shock, especially among Yankees fans, the sensation is inevitable!
I can almost expect the situation at the preview and auction. It must be an unprecedented grand occasion, with many competitors. If I were a rich man, I would participate, but unfortunately I am not! "
"Hahaha, even if you can't own it, I believe you have no less chance to appreciate these collections than others"
...
Due to the large number of collections, the identification time is relatively long.
After David finished reviewing the contract, the appraisal was less than half completed.
At this time, Ye Tian took out his employment contract and let David check it.
There are two contracts, one for Jason and one for Bowie, and there is also a confidentiality agreement specifically for Bowie.
At the same time.
Ye Tian whispered about the details of the employment cooperation, especially about Bowie, all the details were repeated.
This will undoubtedly reduce the risk to a minimum and let everything be under my control.
After listening to the story, David, who is a lawyer and accustomed to wind and rain, could not help but also gave a thumbs up, admiring him!
"Steven, my mind is too meticulous, and the plan is very thorough. No wonder you can dig up the treasure one after another and make a fortune! Admire it!"
Ye Tian smiled and said helplessly:
"This is also nothing. After digging for treasures a few times, I have become a target of public criticism. If I don't do this, it will be difficult to take pictures of the warehouse again. In order to continue to make a fortune, I have no choice but to think about it.
One more thing, I have a very good relationship with Bowie. Seeing his current situation, as a friend, I should give him a hand, and this is to help me! "
"Bowie is so lucky, to have friends like you, he doesn't have to go back to Texas, New York still has a chance!"
David nodded and complimented.
Then he began to review the contract, and Bowie's contract would be brought back by him to witness the signing!
At eleven o'clock, the identification work is completed.
All the collections are indeed authentic, with high collection value, and the market price is quite high.
As the two sports collection experts announced their unanimous appraisal opinions, they entered the process of signing a commissioned auction contract.
Ye Tian signed the contract and completed the commissioned auction procedures.
"Steven, there will be an auction announcement tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. A preview will be arranged in a week or so. The auction will start at the end of August. At that time, there will be a special auction of sports collections. I believe it will be able to sell the best price."
Putting away the contract, Billy began to introduce the auction arrangements, very detailed and very important.
"OK! I'm very satisfied, just wait for the preview to start"
Ye Tian nodded and said.
Then he shook hands with several professionals and said goodbye to Sotheby's!
Coming out of the office building, it's lunch time.
It's very close to Chinatown, so without driving, Ye Tian and David strolled into Chinatown to enjoy the mouth-watering Chinese food!
...
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Tian returned to Sotheby's again.
But instead of going to the office this time, I went to the personal vault.
With the help of the staff, he loaded two boxes of antiques bought by Peter Cooper on a pickup truck, then drove away from Sotheby's and went to the Benny's second-hand shop.
It's time to exchange these babies for green dollars!
It was only 1:30 when I arrived at the Benny's second-hand shop, and half an hour before the agreed transaction time.
As soon as the car stopped, Jason and Parker greeted them immediately, and the three of them moved the two suitcases into the store together.
Then Ye Tian saw Benny and three old men in their fifties walking out of the reception room.
There is a familiar face among the three, it is the old fox Gary, the other two don't know each other, it should be the target of this transaction.
"Hey! Benny, Gary, good afternoon!"
Ye Tian greeted with a smile, and nodded politely when he didn't know him.
"Steven, Good afternoon, we can't wait!"
Gary said with a smile.
Although it is very exaggerated, the old fox is still calm and gentle, like a gentleman!
"Gentlemen, this is the famous and brightest new treasure digging star in the warehouse auction industry, God's darling, Steven"
Benny started to introduce Ye Tian after saying hello, his words were quite exaggerated.
"It is indeed famous, I have heard it countless times in the past two days!"
One of the old men said with a smile, and the other nodded in agreement.
"Steven, this is Irvine, the owner of the antique shop, this is Anderson, the owner of the second-hand shop, they are all for your antiques!"
Benny introduced the identities of the other two.
Ye Tian stepped forward and shook hands with each other one by one, and knew each other.
With a few polite greetings, Gary went straight to the subject.
"Steven, open the box, let's see baby!"
The eyes of the other people lit up instantly, and their eyes turned to the two huge boxes, expecting Ye Tian to open them and start the treasure hunt.
But Ye Tian unexpectedly shook his head and refused.
"I'm sorry, I can't open the box right now, there are still people who haven't arrived. To be fair, let's wait for everyone to come together and enjoy it together"
What else could the other people say, so they nodded and waited patiently.
Ye Tian did this with consideration.
These people will be partners in the future. In order to maintain a good relationship, they must be fair and treated equally, so that they can continue to cooperate in the future.
It was two o'clock soon, and the remaining two also rushed to the Benny's second-hand shop.
After an introduction, everyone walked into the reception room and started today's antique appraisal transaction.
