Chapter 115: Pirate treasure map
When he saw the last big suitcase with a sports note, Ye Tian immediately made a decision.
Take down these sports goods and make them your own toys!
In the box is a complete set of scuba diving equipment, except for the oxygen cylinder.
Breathing regulators, buoyancy regulators, diving instruments, residual pressure gauges, depth gauges, compasses, diving calculators are all available.
There are also several kinds of auxiliary equipment, such as diving suits, gloves, diving knives, decompression tables, underwater cameras, equipment bags, buoyancy bags and so on.
Moreover, after careful observation by Ye Tian, all the equipment was newly purchased, not used several times, and there was no problem, just like new ones.
This is a diplomat, just an avid diving enthusiast, so equipped!
But then he thought that this guy is a Costa Rican and worked in Los Angeles before. This is a famous diving mecca. It is no surprise to have this set of equipment!
The value of this set of diving equipment is not low, it is definitely worth the shot!
Next is the value assessment.
Based on the apparent value of these sports products, Ye Tian and Jason quickly worked out the upper limit of the price of 18,000 US dollars.
The upper limit in Ye Tian's mind is even higher, about 35,000 US dollars!
He is very convinced that the upper limit of the offer must be the highest in the audience, unmatched.
Then they were ready to leave to see the remaining sealed boxes.
At this moment, White and several senior treasure diggers came to the sports goods side.
Seeing that Ye Tian had just finished checking, White immediately asked:
"Steven, are you interested in these sports products? Are you ready to shoot?"
Ye Tian smiled and said nonsense:
"You may not understand, I am Tiger Woods among the Chinese, I love golf, and I have a high level. Of course, I am not as crazy as Woods' **** addiction! I really want to get these sports products!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
We are very convinced that you are a conspirator and murderer among the Chinese! But you are a golfer? forget it! We don't believe it even if it's killed! Don't spoil this elegant sport!
White and the others laughed and ranted frantically.
"Shameless! Smelly hooligan!"
Xu Lin and Fang Ning stomped and cursed secretly. The two beautiful women were already flushed with blood, and they were almost ashamed.
To Ye Tian, they could only express helplessness.
Nothing! The **** in front was too arbitrary and selfish, and seemed to never consider the opinions of others.
After a few nonsense, Ye Tian took everyone away and walked to the area where the grocery storage box was placed.
His primary goal is the storage box that holds the 19th century antiques.
What the **** is it? Since there is not much value, why does this diplomat collect it? And brought it to New York!
Facing these sealed and opaque gray storage boxes, Jason had no clue at all, so he could only watch from one side.
The two beauties were the same, standing aside looking at Ye Tian curiously, watching how he hunted for treasure.
Walking to the target storage box, Ye Tian did not hesitate, and immediately opened the perspective.
The next second, the situation in the box immediately appeared in his eyes clearly, without missing anything.
The reddish antique is a hand-painted map embedded in a frame, to be precise, a pirate treasure map from the 1820s.
Seeing this, Ye Tian suddenly understood why there was no halo on this map.
What is the artistic value of a crude treasure map made by pirates?
Although this picture didn't have the slightest artistic value, Ye Tian felt ecstatic in his heart and almost cheered.
Based on the dazzling red light, he was very sure that this was definitely a true treasure map, indeed from the era when pirates were rampant.
Pirate treasure!
Just hearing these words, I believe it is enough to make most people go adrenaline! Heartbeat!
Gold, jewelry, antiques, diamonds,..., every word is so dazzling and full of endless temptation.
As a professional treasure hunter, Ye Tian was naturally more excited when seeing the treasure map of pirates, and he was even crazy about it!
Conquer the sea and discover pirate treasures! This is definitely the dream of every treasure hunter, and Ye Tian is no exception!
But the little reason left in his brain tells him that there is no time to celebrate! There are hundreds of eyes around.
Only if you really own this treasure map can you cheer, celebrate, and even set out to hunt for treasure!
After forcibly suppressing the excitement, Ye Tian immediately began to check the details of the treasure map.
After he scanned the treasure map carefully, he felt helpless, and his excitement began to recede quickly, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
All these changes are due to a few words on the treasure map.
"Costa Rica, Cocos Island, Augs Gisler,..."
They are enough to explain everything, this is a famous treasure map, it is true!
The treasure is located on a small island in the Pacific Ocean in Costa Rica, Cocos Island, which is only 24 square kilometers. Although it is small, it is famous for its pirate treasures.
Cocos Island is also known by its own name, which is better known to the world, Treasure Island!
Since the 16th century, it has been a transit point and rest stop for pirates, and has welcomed all the famous pirates who cross the Pacific coast of the Americas.
These pirates loaded, unloaded and buried the looted treasures, leaving countless legends about the treasures, adding a lot of mystery to this unknown island.
Three famous pirates in history, the Englishman Edward Davis, the Portuguese Captain Benito Bonito, and the Scottish pirate Captain William Thompson, have buried treasures here.
In addition, some famous pirates also buried the proceeds of looting here.
According to legend, there are at least six huge pirate treasures here.
And the most famous among them, and the historical data has clearly recorded, is the Lima treasure!
The Treasures of Lima are the greatest wealth plundered by the Spaniards in South America at the beginning of the 19th century, including gold and silver bricks, countless precious stones, gold candlesticks, gold plates, life-size gold statues of the Virgin and so on.
When the South American liberation movement was in full swing, the Spanish governor felt that the situation was critical and tried to transport these treasures back to Spain.
But he entrusted a non-person, Captain Thompson, who was in charge of transporting the treasure, saw the fortune and slaughtered all the passengers at sea, including the poor Spanish governor.
Afterwards, Thompson drove the boat to Cocos Island and buried this stunning treasure there, and never appeared in the eyes of the world ever since.
Unlike other imaginary pirate treasure legends, the Cocos Island pirate treasures are proven, do exist, and numerous!
There are not a few treasure hunters who have made a fortune on Cocos Island. The biggest gain is Keating, a friend of Captain Thompson, who brought back a treasure of up to 500 million francs from Cocos Island.
Although this is a huge amount of wealth, it is only a drop in the ocean compared to the total amount of treasures on Cocos Island!
More, more mouth-watering, and even crazy treasures are still buried on Cocos Island or in the sea around it.
Augs Gisler is a treasure hunter, and he is very famous. He has lived on Cocos Island for seventeen years, where he hunts treasures wildly!
He even became the governor of Costa Rica's Cocos Island, completely in control of the entire island.
But unfortunately, he was the most unlucky treasure hunter. After 17 years, he only found 33 Spanish gold coins.
Apart from proving that there is indeed a pirate treasure, he can say nothing!
At this moment, what Ye Tian saw in his eyes was Gisler's treasure map.
Since he left Cocos Island to settle in New York, this treasure map has become very famous, known by many people, and countless copies.
In the following years, countless people took a copy of this treasure map and boarded Cocos Island, trying to obtain pirate treasures, getting rich overnight!
But just like Giesler's result, all of them went down, and even lost their lives in the sea.
It's not nothing, and the countless treasure hunters who went on to prove at least one thing, Gisler's treasure map is a joke!
Relying on it to find pirate treasures, that is a fantasy!
When this treasure map proved to be useless, it lost its existence value, and then disappeared. It only exists in the treasure legend, and the copies are widely circulated.
What makes Ye Tian puzzled is why this original treasure map appeared in Los Angeles? It became the private collection of the Costa Rican diplomat.
Is he going to hunt for treasure according to the treasure map? Or is it just to commemorate a piece of history in your country?
Judging from the complete set of diving equipment, this diplomat probably has the intention of looking for pirate treasures. I don't know if he has acted?
Facing this famous and useless treasure map, Ye Tian had no choice but to do it.
And there is another reason that makes him helpless.
On the grounds of protecting the ecological environment, the Costa Rican government closed Cocos Island in 1978 and prohibits anyone from digging on the island.
Since then, Cocos Island has become an unattainable "mirage" in the minds of treasure hunters, and people can only look at the island with a treasure hunt.
Therefore, even if this treasure map is real, it is useless to find pirate treasures by relying on it!
Within a few seconds, Ye Tian's emotions went ups and downs, sorrow and joy!
Soon, he put aside his loss completely, no longer thought about the incomparably attractive pirate treasure, and began to check the rest of the storage box.
There are still surprises here!
Then he saw a group of beautiful vases wrapped, with three layers of faint halo, which had a certain artistic value.
This is a Swarovski crystal vase. There are four different styles and styles. They are all very beautiful, dazzling, modern home furnishing luxury goods, and they are absolutely valuable.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his gaze to a medium-sized storage box next to him.
It is still a luxury product. It is a five table lamp that is disassembled and packaged and wrapped very tightly. The famous Tiffany glass table lamp is very dazzling.
The table lamps are not antique, they also have a halo of about three layers, which have a certain artistic value.
Seeing this, Ye Tian was already a little shocked.
These diplomats are a bit extravagant and desperate! Is Costa Rica so rich?
The next few storage boxes are all top household items, each of which is of great value!
A full set of limited edition Zwilling knives, Royal Dalton bone china tea sets, coffee cup sets, and other dazzling luxury daily necessities.
After reading these dozen storage boxes, Ye Tian was completely amazed!
This diplomat is either the Governor of the Central Bank of Costa Rica or the Minister of Finance! Or even dug up the treasure of Lima!
While secretly sighing, he is bound to win these storage boxes!
These things are absolutely valuable.
Then came the sealed suitcases, and five or six cardboard boxes with a large capacity.
According to the previous situation, these cardboard boxes must also be a lot of luxury goods.
"Ye Tian, what can you see on those storage boxes? The cover is so tight that there isn't even a seam!"
Xu Lin muttered behind her, with a curious look on her face.
"If even you can see their value, is there any need for us treasure hunters? I'm afraid we will all starve to death!"
Ye Tian replied with a smile.
"It seems like you are so good! I haven't seen you photograph the container? Don't you blow it?"
Xu Lin continued to mutter in a low voice, with a look of disbelief in her eyes. Fang Ning is the same, with a strong suspicion in his eyes.
Several people quickly walked to the sealed carton.
As expected, these sealed cardboard boxes, as well as the two large suitcases, are filled with high-end clothing and women's bags of various brands and styles.
Especially Chanel ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has some customized products, although the value is not as good as the Kelly bag, it is also worth a lot of money.
The color of these luxury items is very good, even two Chanel fashions have not even the nameplate removed! 100% of the new products can be sold directly on the shelves.
Regrettably, no famous watches and jewelry were found.
There are only two Vacheron Constantin boxes and four Cartier jewelry boxes.
Famous watches and jewellery are small in size and can be carried with them. With their diplomatic status, there will be no trouble entering and exiting the airport.
Although slightly imperfect, Ye Tian is still very satisfied with these goods and must take it!
As for the handling of the goods, there is no need to worry at all.
With so many Chinese purchasing agents on site, they can be divided up in a blink of an eye, and they can make a lot of money without adding any trouble.
When he finished checking the goods, the auction opened immediately.
