The next day, at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Tian walked into the Sotheby's auction house in Manhattan carrying Slash's double-headed piano. There were also two 1:43 Ferrari sports car models in his backpack.

After some research and thinking, and comparing the recent auction arrangements of Sotheby's and Christie's, Ye Tian finally chose Sotheby's to quickly cash in these treasures.

After confirming his choice, he got in touch with the person in charge of Sotheby’s Fine Arts and Crafts auction in the morning and sent the photos of the treasures in his hands to them.

Sotheby's is naturally very happy to take over such a business.

Soon they completed the preliminary identification through photos, and then asked Ye Tian to bring the physical objects for identification and evaluation, and signed an auction contract.

Arrived at Sotheby's at the same time as Ye Tian was also his lawyer.

The amount of this transaction is not small, so it is very necessary for a lawyer to participate. It can avoid a lot of trouble and prevent being cheated by the auction company.

Who says top auction houses don’t cheat people? If given the chance, they will eat people without spitting out their bones!

In the auction house hall, Ye Tian met his lawyer as scheduled.

This is a tall white man in his 30s and 40s, wearing a suit and leather shoes, his hair and face are neatly tidied, he is meticulous, and he is carrying a black briefcase. He is a typical Wall Street elite.

Seeing Ye Tian appear, he immediately walked over quickly with a smile.

"Hey! Steven, long time no see"

"Good morning! David, it's been a long time indeed. How are you doing? You look so glorious. Have you picked up any good work again?"

Ye Tian smiled and said hello, and fist bumped with David in greeting.

This is an acquaintance, a university alumnus, a few years ahead of Ye Tian, ​​and they have a good relationship.

David is a practicing lawyer who works at the famous Sullivan Law Firm, which was the partner law firm of Ye Tian's original hedge fund.

"It's not bad! I just completed a company merger and acquisition case a few days ago and made a fortune. How are you doing recently? I heard that everyone in your group has been blacklisted?"

Hearing David's question, Ye Tian smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Yes, our entire group has been completely shut out by Wall Street. No hedge fund or investment bank wants to hire us! I live in Brooklyn now, and I have been in a state of decline for a while, but things have improved! "

"Then you are pretty good. I met Bowie on the street two days ago. He is now relying on social assistance to survive. We chatted for a few words. He said he would go back to Dallas in a few days to see if there is anything there. Opportunity! "

David sighed a few words with a regretful expression on his face.

Ye Tian and Bowie used to be colleagues. They worked in a hedge fund, doing financial derivatives transactions, and were the envy of countless people as a Wall Street gold collar.

Because of the mistakes of the group boss and the subsequent series of crazy and impulsive behaviors, it caused huge irreparable losses to the company and even had a big impact on the market.

After the incident, their entire group was kicked out by hedge funds and put on an industry blacklist. No company dared to use it.

Everyone's situation turned out to be quite miserable. The group boss was imprisoned and it was difficult to see the sunshine again in his life. The property he had worked hard for for decades was either confiscated or auctioned off, leaving him impoverished overnight!

The rest, without exception, all ended up bankrupt!

Some people were so desperate that they immediately left New York to find a way out and hope elsewhere.

But no matter where they are in the United States, it is impossible for them to find a job in an investment bank or a hedge fund. Other careers in the financial field are probably also difficult.

There are also people who are still holding on to the last glimmer of hope in New York, looking forward to the day when the clouds clear and the sun comes. This is the case with Bowie, but now he obviously can't hold on anymore and is preparing to return to Texas!

There are also people like Ye Tian who have completely left the financial industry and embarked on another path.

“Like Bowie, I almost ended up receiving social assistance not long ago! Give me Bowie’s phone number later, and I’ll contact him later. My previous phone fell into the water and all my phone numbers were lost. "

Hearing Bowie's situation, Ye Tian suddenly felt a little gloomy. He felt the same way!

Now that my situation has improved, I can help Bowie, who I had a good relationship with before, to prevent his situation from getting worse.

"No wonder you didn't call me directly, but came to me through the law firm! No problem, I will send you Bowie's mobile phone number later, and the others' by the way.

Stephen, let me ask you a question, what do you do now? How did it get involved with Sotheby’s? You don’t know how to go into an auction house or antique shop, do you? "

David was obviously curious about Ye Tian's current status.

"Yes! You guessed it right, I have now completely left the financial industry and become a professional treasure hunter. This time I came to Sotheby's to have a few things for them to auction.

The purpose of asking you to come is also very clear. Help me review the entrusted auction contract and witness it again. The fees will be based on your standards. This kind of thing will definitely happen again in the future, and I will come to you again."

Ye Tian didn't hide anything, and talked about his current occupation with a smile.

"Ah——! Professional treasure hunter! How is this possible?"

David immediately exclaimed, with an incredible expression on his face.

From a Wall Street gold collar to a professional treasure hunter, is the span too big? Can you bear it? I can't hit even eight poles!

Seeing David's shocked expression, Ye Tian immediately smiled.

As long as I know him, anyone who hears that he has become a professional treasure hunter will behave like this. It is indeed a bit unbelievable!

Then he raised the guitar in his hand and said with a smile:

"That's right, I am indeed a professional treasure hunter now, and my grades are pretty good. This is the treasure I found. It is of great value, so I sent it to Sotheby's for auction!"

Although it still felt incredible, David did not ask any more questions. Instead, he focused on the guitar in Ye Tian’s hand and asked curiously:

"Steven, whose guitar is this? It's going to be auctioned at Sotheby's. Is it worth a lot?"

"This is the red double-headed guitar from Guns N' Roses. The treasure I found in an abandoned warehouse is a unique guitar. The value of this guitar is definitely not low, so I sent it to Sotheby's."

Ye Tian explained the origin of the guitar in his hand in great detail. David is his lawyer, so all this information must be understood clearly.

"Wow!"

David opened his mouth in shock, and a look of envy began to appear in his eyes.

Then he immediately asked excitedly:

"If I understand correctly, this is the famous Crossroad?"

"Yes, this is the Crossroad that has appeared on the stage countless times. How about it? It has some value, right? Should it be sent for auction?"

Ye Tian proudly raised the guitar in his hand again and gave an affirmative answer.

"Wow! It's so valuable! In the eyes of some people, this is a priceless treasure that no amount of money can buy! Man, you are such a super lucky guy! You can actually pick up such a treasure!"

There was another burst of extremely excited exclamation, and David was almost crazy with excitement.

This behavior is completely normal. When David was in middle school, it was the time when Guns N' Roses was the most popular. How could he not know about this guitar and understand its value?

While excited, David was even more jealous.

There is no problem in selling this guitar for hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is no less than what a Wall Street gold collar earns, or even more!

At this time, he also admired Ye Tian a little.

I didn’t expect that this kid could thrive even after being kicked out of Wall Street. It’s so surprising!

While joking, Ye Tian raised his eyes and looked at the clock hanging in the front hall.

It’s almost time.

Then he said to David:

"Let's go in, the appointment time is coming soon"

"OK! Let's go, I really want to see this famous double-headed piano!"

David said excitedly, with an impatient expression on his face.

Seeing his performance, Ye Tian suddenly showed a bright smile on his face.

"Brother, be mentally prepared, there will be bigger surprises later!"
