"Yes, it is the Treasure of Lima! I want to go to Cocos Island to hunt this treasure. I have a certain degree of confidence in this operation. I believe I can solve the biggest mystery of Cocos Island!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, his eyes full of confidence and extremely firm.
The office was quiet, and the other three were stunned!
Treasure of Lima! What a fortune!
From the day they were buried on Cocos Island, countless people have been crazy about them, wanting to find this treasure and making a fortune!
Around this huge amount of pirate treasure, there have been countless blood storms and there are countless guys who have lost their lives!
Even so, people's enthusiasm has not diminished in the slightest and they continued go to Cocos Island one after another to find this known world's second largest treasure.
It was not until 1978 when the Costa Rican government banned treasure hunting on the Cocos Island. The search for the Treasure of Lima gradually subsided and the Cocos Island was calm.
Unexpectedly, this guy Steven had as target the Treasure of Lima and he said that he could find the Treasure of Lima. It was crazy!
The three of them quickly woke up and looked at Ye Tian in disbelief.
"Steven, let alone whether your information is accurate, or whether the treasure map is true or not, I want to remind you that Costa Rica has banned treasure hunting on Cocos Island!
Therefore, the possibility that you can go to Cocos Island to find the Treasure of Lima is almost zero, unless you can obtain the treasure hunt permission from the Costa Rican government, that is almost impossible!"
Kane gradually recovered his calm and began to analyze the matter.
"I know all of this. It is indeed very difficult to obtain a treasure hunt permit. That's why I came to Colombia University to find experts in Latin American historiography, just to cooperate with them and to hunt for treasures together.
If we can find a suitable candidate, then we can cooperate and start this treasure hunt in the name of archaeology. I don't mind the involvement of the Costa Rican government.
A professor from the History Department of Columbia University can came forward to apply for a treasure hunt permit in the name of archaeology. The chances of passing it must be much higher. It is definitely better than my personal application.
All the expenses are borne by me. Columbia University doesn't need to pay a penny and It can enjoy all the academic achievements of archaeological research. I only want the wealth, the best of both worlds!
Of course, the Costa Rican government will definitely get a share of cake, there is no way! Cocos Island is their territory, after all, they must receive some share!"
Ye Tian explained his thoughts!
This is the only way he can think of at the moment. If he can't get the treasure hunt permission, he can only sigh with the treasure map!
It is too difficult to apply for a permit in the name of a professional treasure hunter and it is impossible to pass it in all likelihood!
The former British treasure hunter, Shaun Whitehead, spent 18 months and spent countless amounts of money in order to obtain the permission to explore the treasures of Cocos Island to obtain the poor 10-day treasure hunting time.
Ye Tian didn't want to waste a lot of time on this and he didn't want to send large sums of money into the pockets of some officials in Costa Rica. He couldn't afford to worry about that!
That's why he thought of working with a well-known professor of Latin American historiography, using the influence of Columbia University to obtain the coveted treasure hunt permit in the name of archeology and finding the Treasure of Lima! Making a lot of money!
If he can't get a treasure hunt permit in this way, he is ready to put it aside temporarily and look for opportunities later.
There are treasures evereywhere isn't need to hang on this specific treasure! With his incomparable perspective ability, the treasures that are everywhere can't remain hidden of him!
Kane was silent and began to think to see if he might succeed.
A smile soon appeared on his face and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
With the status and influence of Columbia University, it is not a difficult task to apply for a treasure hunt permit in the name of archaeology and it is very likely to pass.
The Costa Rican government has many Columbia University alumni, and their influence cannot be underestimated!
Thinking of this, Kane's smile suddenly became brighter.
For the sly guy in front of him, he also gave a thumbs up again, amazed.
"Steven, I'm afraid this is your main purpose, right? I said, how could you guy agree to show me Sherman's march notebook, Is because of this, right?"
"Hahaha, it's just a piggyback! The main thing is to come and visit you two!"
Ye Tian smiled and replied, not even believing what he said.
Of course, the other three people couldn't believe it. It entered in the left ear and the right ear came out, as if they didn't hear the same.
There are so many considerations of this guy in frontof them, it's hard to guard against! And he is a guy who is profitable and can not afford to be early, cunning to the extreme.
"I have considered what you said. It is indeed feasible. Columbia University will come forward and apply for a treasure hunt permit in the name of archaeology. It should be approved.
There are really a few Latin American historians who have studied pirate culture in our Department of History. I think they will also be interested in your treasure hunt. The Treasure of Lima is really tempting!
To explain, if we really get the treasure hunt permission, I will also participate in this treasure hunt. It has always been my dream to find pirate treasures. Since there is an opportunity, of course I cannot miss it!"
Kane said excitedly, his eyes very bright.
At this time, he wished he could fly to Cocos Island immediately and start a thrilling treasure hunt!
"Great! Of course you can participate as long as you want! You are very welcome. When will you introduce experts in Latin American historiography? I can't wait!"
Ye Tian shook his fist excitedly and said with joy.
"I'll call the Latin American historians later and make an appointment to meet. I believe you will get the most satisfactory answer and start the treasure hunt as soon as possible.
Besides, I would like to ask, where did your treasure map come from? Can you show it? I am very curious, why are you so confident in this treasure map?"
Kane asked curiously, his eyes full of expectation.
Melissa and Betty are the same, looking at Ye Tian expectantly.
There are too many treasure maps of the Treasure of Lima circulating outside the world, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false! They don't know if this one is real or not?
However, they failed to do so.
Ye Tian pointed his finger at his head and said with a smile:
"The treasure map is here! After I got the treasure map and identified it as genuine, I quickly remembered the treasure route and burned the treasure map.
This is for safety. The treasure map now only exists in my brain. There is no physical form. Even if someone gets the news and covets the treasure map, they shouldn't even think in get it!
Therefore, I can't show the treasure map now. When we board Cocos Island, you will understand if that the treasure map is true or not. That is the best proof!"
"You guys are really! Your mind is so careful! No drips! It seems I can only look forward to the start of the treasure hunt and witness the Treasure of Lima!"
Kane said with emotion, a little disappointed in his eyes.
After a few more small talks, Kane took out the phone and walked aside and started contacting some Latin American historians.
At this moment, he can be said to be enthusiastic and full of motivation!
He wanted to witness with his own eyes whether the cunning guy in front of him could find the Treasure of Lima.
If he is really allowed to find and pick up the Treasure of Lima, it will definitely cause a huge sensation and it will also solve a big mystery in Latin American history.
Even if he can't find it, he and Columbia University wouldn't have any losses, so they should travel to Cocos Island, anyway someone will bear the cost! Why not!
About fifteen minutes or so, Kane walked back.
"Steven, I contacted several experts in Latin American historiography and told them about this. They were all very interested and wanted to meet and talk with you.
Two of them are at the university and in this building, you can go to them at any time, how about it? Is it convenient now?"
"Of course it's convenient, I can't ask for it! Let's go now!"
Ye Tian said excitedly and immediately stood up.
Then he and Kane walked out of the office and took the elevator up to the seventh floor.
Betty stayed and chatted with Melissa.
Soon, Kane took Ye Tian to the door of an office on the seventh floor.
"knock...knock...knock"
Kane knocked on the door of the room.
"Please come in, the door is unlocked!"
There was a male voice, deep and full of breath.
Kane reached out and opened the door and led Ye Tian into the office.
As soon as they walked into the office, they saw a forty or fifty-year-old white man walking towards them, smiling and very enthusiastic.
"Good morning, Kane, this is Steven who wants to dig out the Treasure of Lima, right? Long admiring your name! Nice to meet you! I'm Douglas, welcome to my office!"
"Mr. Douglas, good morning, I'm Steven, nice to meet you, your office is awesome and those antiques look pretty good!"
Ye Tian said politely, complimenting the other party by the way, and he didn't spend any money anyway.
At the same time, he also took a quick look at the internal environment of the office.
It is indeed a scholar who studies Latin American historiography. The antiques, oil paintings, sculptures, handicrafts, etc. in the office are all works of Latin American art style.
With a few greetings, everyone quickly got into the topic.
"Steven, tell me about your Cocos Island treasure hunt! I am very interested! Treasure of Lima! That is a huge wealth that has made countless people crazy!"
Douglas said with a smile, his eyes shining straight.
"OK! Professor Douglas, let's start with the cause of this treasure hunt,..."
Ye Tian began to talk about the treasure hunt plan, very detailed and comprehensive.
Time passed quickly and an hour passed quickly.
The office door was opened again.
"Professor Douglas, if you think about it and are willing to participate in this treasure hunt, you can contact me at any time. I will been in New York during this time!"
Ye Tian and Kane stood at the door of the office, ready to leave.
"Okay! Whether I will participate or not, I will give you the answer as soon as possible. This treasure hunt is very attractive, I am afraid it will be difficult to refuse!"
Douglas said with a smile, his expression extremely excited.
Afterwards, Ye Tian and Kane left and walked to the elevator.
There is also a professor of Latin American history who wants to meet and he has already made an appointment at a nearby Mexican restaurant!
