More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the negotiations were still continuing.
But the atmosphere in the conference room was not as harmonious as before. It was somewhat tense, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
"18%! Steven, this is the limit that the Federal Reserve can give to treasure discovery rewards. It cannot be more. As for this ratio, we still need to discuss it when we go back. It is not certain whether the other executive committee members agree. "
Christopher said with a pale face, his eyes widened, implying anger.
Ye Tian, who was sitting opposite, had a bright smile on his face. In the eyes of others, he really deserved as much beating as he wanted.
"20%, Christopher, this is the biggest concession I can make. I have said before that I am a businessman and my purpose is to make money. I can't let my work be in vain."
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, but his tone was extremely firm, leaving no room for doubt.
"Absolutely impossible! This ratio is too high, and we at the Federal Reserve simply cannot accept it. That is not our personal reserve gold, but the wealth that belongs to all Americans.
You **** is really greedy to the extreme. Stop talking about you being a businessman and needing to make money to support your family and company employees. You know better than anyone what a huge fortune that is!
Even the lowest 10% treasure discovery reward is at least hundreds of millions of dollars. You don’t even have to pay a dime to get such a huge fortune for nothing. What else is there to be dissatisfied about? "
Christopher said through gritted teeth, his eyes almost spitting fire.
The same goes for the other people from the Federal Reserve. They were all chewing their teeth, wishing they could rush up and beat Ye Tian up and let out a bad breath.
Compared with them, the guys from the New York City Government were more like people who came to watch the fun, and they were all very interested and watching with gusto!
No matter how the gold reserves in the secret vault are distributed, as the land owner, the New York City Government will take a piece of it. Of course, they are not in a hurry and are happy to watch from the sidelines!
"In this case, there is no need for us to continue talking. It is a waste of time. We are not idlers, and we don't have so much time to waste.
It seems that the secret vault will continue to be buried underground, waiting for the next destined person. Maybe someone will discover the secret vault in the future and pull out those dazzling gold reserves.
I hope the New York City government will not sell that piece of public land to private individuals, and I also hope that the next guy who discovers that secret vault will abide by the law like me and not touch that batch of gold reserves.
Gentlemen, it’s almost noon, and it’s time to enjoy lunch. If you like it, I’ll treat you to a sumptuous lunch. There is a very good French restaurant nearby”
Ye Tian stood up and said with a smile, his expression slightly regretful.
As he spoke, he pushed back his seat and prepared to leave the conference room.
Jason and David also stood up and prepared to leave with him.
"You're right, Steven, today's negotiation cannot go on. Continuing the negotiation is just a waste of our mutual time. Let's call it a day.
As for the treasure discovery reward you requested, let’s go back and discuss it again. You are from Wall Street and should understand the decision-making process of the Federal Reserve. I can’t make the decision with just one word! "
Christopher said with a gloomy face, and also pushed away the seat and stood up.
Several other senior officials from the Federal Reserve, as well as those guys from the New York City Hall who were watching the excitement, also pushed away their chairs and stood up, with different expressions on their faces.
"Of course you can discuss it, Christopher, but it's best to hurry up and avoid long nights of dreaming. As you know, I'm a professional treasure hunter. I might leave New York that day to explore treasures!
The differences between us are not big, just two percentage points. You can all give a ratio of 18%, so why stick to two percentage points and not let go. Be more generous, that would be classy! "
Ye Tian said jokingly, with a very relaxed expression, as if he didn't take that huge amount of wealth seriously at all.
"Be generous? Why haven't I seen you being generous? Accept 18% of the treasure discovery reward! It's only two percentage points! You guys are really loud, that's tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars!
We will discuss this matter as soon as possible, and we will make a decision in a day or two at most. We will let you know whether we will cooperate with you or not to explore the secret vault that has been missing for decades! "
Christopher said angrily, rolling his eyes repeatedly.
"I look forward to receiving your call, Mr. Christopher. I hope that call will bring me a surprise, and I believe it will also bring you a huge surprise.
That’s it for today, let’s go have a meal. You should have been to the French restaurant I mentioned and have some knowledge of the dishes there. It’s worth trying”
Ye Tian nodded with a smile and extended the invitation again, showing great sincerity.
Christopher shook his head slightly and refused his invitation.
"Thank you for the invitation, Steven. We know that French restaurant. The food is really good. It is well-known on Wall Street and is one of the top restaurants in Lower Manhattan.
But at this moment, we have no intention of enjoying any French dinner. We just want to return to the Federal Reserve's New York headquarters as soon as possible to discuss the secret vault, so we can only refuse your kind offer! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Mayor Assistant Blake immediately picked up the conversation and politely declined Ye Tian's invitation.
As public officials, during negotiations with Ye Tian, they are not suitable to accept Ye Tian's banquet, which is likely to arouse doubts from the media and criticism from opponents from all sides!
"What a pity! Obviously I can't have lunch with everyone here today. I hope to have such an opportunity in the future, preferably at the celebration banquet after jointly exploring the secret vault!
Gentlemen, it is a pleasure to meet you here today and have a friendly and harmonious exchange. We are leaving the City Hall. I wish you all to enjoy this wonderful day"
With that said, Ye Tian walked around the conference table to shake hands with Christopher and the others and say goodbye.
"Friendly and harmonious communication? What nonsense! Today we have opened our eyes to how greedy a person can be! How obsessed with money!"
Christopher and the others were secretly complaining crazily while shaking hands with Ye Tian and David to say goodbye. The smiles on their faces were not very pretty!
After shaking hands and saying goodbye, Ye Tian and the others left the conference room and New York City Hall.
As soon as Ye Tian and the others walked out of the conference room, one of Christopher’s closest subordinates gritted his back teeth and said:
"This **** Steven is so abominable and greedy to the extreme. Boss, do we want to give this **** some tricks and ask for the specific location where the secret vault is buried?"
When saying this, the guy lowered his voice so low that only he and Christopher could hear it.
Christopher turned to look at the subordinate, then lowered his voice and said:
“To deal with an extremely cunning **** like Steven, we can only follow the rules of the game and cannot use dirty tricks that are not on the table. That will only do bad things and even cause disaster.
As expected, the entire negotiation process was captured by Steven and his gang with pinhole cameras, uploaded to the cloud, and stored. This is his usual style.
If we use underhanded tactics, that **** will definitely spread the relevant video online as soon as possible. By then, not only his legal team will pounce on us, but all suspicious eyes will look at us.
Don’t forget our identity. We are the makers of U.S. financial policies and the rules of the game. At least on the surface, we must abide by the rules of the game we have set and win the trust of others!
In the American financial and academic circles, there are countless people eyeing our position! If we cause a scandal, it will not only be journalists and lawyers who will attack us, there will definitely be many old opponents.
By then, it is almost certain that we will step down. Is it easy for me to become one of the seven-member executive committee members of the Federal Reserve? No one but death can pull me from this position!
Another point is that Steven is a **** with no taboos. There is nothing he dares not do. For him, the law only exists in this world when it is beneficial to him.
If we go beyond the rules of the game and use dirty tricks to deal with that guy, I am sure that we will face extremely brutal revenge, and we will probably be secretly killed by that **** and suffer physical destruction.
In that case, not only will we get nothing, but we will be in trouble, and it is very likely to cost us our lives. Only the stupidest idiots can do such thankless things! "
Hearing Christopher's words, his subordinate couldn't help but shudder, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, he immediately thought of Ye Tian's various actions, the **** killings, and those guys who were sent to **** by Ye Tian himself.
Do you want to go to hell? Do you still need to ask? Even if you are an idiot, you don’t want to go to hell!
