Chapter 2120： Dreaming greek

In the conference room of the Brave Intrepid, the experts and scholars who followed the fleet are admiring and appraising the antique cultural relics from the depths of the sea floor, one by one, fascinated and forgetful.

Needless to say, the result of the appraisal is that each of the antique relics that Ye Tian took out came from ancient Greece or the Hellenistic era. They were extremely rare and expensive.

At this time, the sky outside was approaching dusk.

The setting sun gradually sinks, reflecting the entire sky and the clear blue Mediterranean sea. The sea is sparkling and the scenery is extremely beautiful, just like a realist landscape painting.

However, the people in the exploratory fleet have no time to appreciate the beauty. Everyone is busy making final preparations for the upcoming operation of salvaging the sunken treasure.

On the distant sea, various ships and seaplanes came from all directions, and then moored on the distant sea, looking towards the exploratory fleet.

Without exception, those guys who raised their binoculars looked out, everyone's eyes were a little red, and all kinds of emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred flashed in their eyes.

It's a pity that they can only park far away and cannot get close to the exploration fleet at all.

The two helicopters and a few yachts on the sea ahead, and the armed security personnel blocking the sea area where the exploration fleet operates, are enough to discourage them.

The Bataan amphibious assault ship and the integrated supply ship further afield made them even more jealous, not daring to act rashly, for fear of being hit by a heavy blow.

It took more than 20 minutes for many experts and scholars to appreciate the few antique relics that Ye Tian took out.

After reluctantly putting down the baby in her hands, Maria immediately asked eagerly:

"Steven, what do you plan to do with these extremely precious and research-worthy antique artifacts, or should you say so, what do you plan to do with the many antique artifacts in this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure?"

Following Maria's words, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, ​​and everyone’s eyes were full of expectation and [] a bit of anxiety.

Ye Tian glanced at the experts and scholars at the scene, then smiled and said:

"First of all, to state that this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure is located in the open waters. It was discovered by our brave exploration company at all costs and a lot of manpower and material resources. This is well known.

It is also that we took huge risks and dived deep into the sea to figure out the general situation of this sunken treasure. According to industry practice, this sunken treasure belongs to our company, no doubt! "

Hearing this, all the Greeks on the scene immediately became anxious, each of them stared round their eyes and bit their posterior molars, ready to refute.

The others didn't say much, their expressions were different, and all of them were envious of going crazy.

Of course, those guys from the U.S. Department of Culture, the National Gallery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum all had bright smiles on their faces.

Before the Greeks uttered a retort, Ye Tian stretched out his hands and gently pressed down, indicating that the other party was safe and not irritable, and didn't have to worry about getting angry.

At the same time, his voice did not stop, continuing his performance.

"How to deal with the antique cultural relics salvaged from this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure, I have a preliminary idea. This is not a secret. Here I can tell everyone.

The antique relics in front of you, as well as all the antique relics salvaged from the water later, I plan to divide them into three parts and handle them in different ways.

I plan to collect the first part of the antique relics by myself. As you know, I am preparing my own private museum. This part of the antique relics will be displayed in my private museum in the future.

The second part of antique relics is still my private collection. I plan to establish the first independent exhibition hall in the United States dedicated to displaying ancient Greek and Hellenistic antiques.

Once this independent exhibition hall is established, it must be the largest and most distinctive ancient Greek exhibition hall in the United States. It can be built in the major museums in New York, or it can be an independent museum.

Like my "Kings and Knights" exhibition hall in the Metropolitan Museum, once this independent exhibition hall is established, it will definitely cause a huge sensation and attract countless tourists from all over the world to visit."

Before the voice fell, it was interrupted impatiently.

"Steven, you have had a great time working with our Metropolitan Museum. I hope you can set up this ancient Greek and Hellenistic exhibition hall in our Metropolitan Museum. We can provide the best exhibition conditions."

Don't ask, the person who spoke is an old friend from the Metropolitan Museum.

Everyone at the scene turned their heads to look at the guy, and everyone's eyes were full of envy, and they wanted to replace him.

Ye Tian glanced at the guy from the Metropolitan Museum, nodded lightly at the old friend, and then continued:

"Let's talk about the third part of antiques and cultural relics. I intend to push them to the antique art market. Collectors and major museums interested in these antiques can compete fairly.

In this way, other collectors and major museums will also have the opportunity to receive these antique relics from ancient Greece or the Hellenistic era to enrich their collections. This is also considered a sharing of interests.

In order to take care of the feelings of the Greeks and also out of respect for the ancient Greek civilization, if major Greek museums participate in the competition, they can get some preferential conditions, such as the right of first refusal.

"Those antique cultural relics originally belonged to Greece, but now we have to pay to buy them. How can this be true? Steven, if you really respect ancient Greek civilization, you should return those antique cultural relics to Greece!"

A senior official from the Greek Ministry of Culture said loudly, interrupting Ye Tian's words.

Hearing this, the rest of the Greeks on the scene nodded frequently, quite a bit like the enemy.

A smile appeared on the faces of the rest of the people, and they looked lively, and the eyes of the guys from the United States flashed a hint of disdain.

Want Steven, who is extremely greedy, to spit out the fat in his mouth, what kind of dream? These Greeks are really whimsical!

Ye Tian looked at the senior official of the Greek Ministry of Culture, then sneered disdainfully and said:

"It is undeniable that most of the antique relics in this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure are from ancient Greece and the Hellenistic era, but as early as 30 BC, ancient Greece no longer exists.

In the following two thousand years, the Romans ruled the land of Greece, the Ottoman Empire ruled this land, and Greece was divided into a dozen or even dozens of city-states.

These ancient Roman shipwrecks were all sunk more than two thousand years ago, and they were sunk in high seas, not within the territory of Greece or the territorial waters, and had little to do with modern Greece.

I am a professional treasure hunter, and the company is an economic entity. Pursuing interests is a matter of course. It is understandable. This does not conflict with my respect for ancient Greek civilization.

As for sending all the antiques and cultural relics in this sunken treasure to Greece, there is no possibility at all. Is it possible that we came here to do good deeds in the Mediterranean that we traveled all the way? "

"Hahaha"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and the guys who were not too big to watch the excitement all laughed.

And the faces of those Greeks became very ugly, one by one, like a dead father.

After forcibly suppressing the boiling anger in her heart, Maria was ready to speak and fight for reasons.

As for whether reason is on their side, people have different opinions. Different positions naturally have different opinions.

At this moment, Jason’s voice suddenly came from the intercom

"Steven, everything is ready to start salvaging the sunken treasure. Do you want to come to the stern swimming platform or the main deck living room and stare through the monitor?"

"Tell Matisse and them, let's take action. You must pay attention to your own safety and protect the valuable antiques. I will go to the main deck living room later."

Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said, issuing an action order.

Before the words were over, many experts and scholars in the conference room pushed away their chairs and stood up.

"Steven, we asked to participate in the salvage of the sunken ship treasure, take a small submarine to the depths of the sea floor, and inspect this ancient Roman shipwreck treasure on the spot. You just promised everyone!"

Several experts and scholars said in unison Everyone looks like they can't wait.

The others behaved the same, and they all wished they could rush out of the meeting room immediately and participate in the exploration and salvage of the sunken treasure.

Ye Tian glanced at the crowd, then smiled and said:

"Don't worry, this is just a tentative salvage operation. The target is a few antique cultural relics scattered on the ridge. It is mainly for training soldiers and familiarizing with the underwater environment. It is not suitable for everyone to participate in it.

When our company's deep-sea salvage experts and related staff are familiar with the seabed environment and work out a set of safe working procedures, you can participate when the subsequent salvage work starts.

Now everyone can follow me to the main deck living room or stay in this conference room. Through the images from the bottom of the sea, you can witness the salvage of the sunken ship’s treasure with your own eyes. This is also a participation."

With that said, Ye Tian made a please gesture, then opened the meeting room door and walked out first.
