Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 300
Chapter 300
In the evening, Xiao Ran and they returned to the Plaza Hotel.
By this time, all the antique artifacts and works of art found in the two warehouses had been stored in two bank vaults on Wall Street.
The reason why it is stored separately is naturally to avoid risks.
The truth that eggs cannot be placed in one basket, Xiao Ran still understands.
As for that set of Victorian antique furniture.
The moldy bodyguard came over and directly pulled her top mansion on Long Island.
While Xiao Ran was dealing with these things, he found that the news of these antique artworks had spread throughout New York and even the entire United States in the field of antique art collection.
In particular, the discovery of those seven top-level artworks has caused a huge sensation, and has also attracted countless attention and even coveted attention.
Before Xiao Ran returned to the hotel, some friends called him one after another to verify the authenticity of the news.
Among them, the general managers of the three major auction houses were particularly enthusiastic.
When they got an affirmative answer, they were all shocked and exclaimed.
Immediately afterwards, they all proposed it.
If you want to take over the auction business of these top works of art, the conditions offered are very attractive.
However, Xiao Ran did not promise any of them.
Just say that I will think about it, wait for a decision, and then notify the three major auction houses.
In addition to the three major auction houses, other people who called over also expressed a strong willingness to buy.
Delacroix’s three paintings of Dante’s Ark, in particular, drove almost the entire American art and collecting world crazy.
Even the moldy mold who stayed in the presidential suite of the Plaza Hotel behaved the same.
Xiao Ran As soon as they entered the door, before they could speak, Mildew couldn’t wait to greet them.
“Sean, can you sell me a copy of Delacroix’s Dante’s Ark? I don’t care if it’s a painting depicting hell
” “I’m also interested in those pop art works, and it would be great if you could sell me one,”
Mildew said expectantly.
Obviously, what Xiao Ran said in the live broadcast room with Chinese, Fang Yufei did not translate all of them to Mildew.
For example, he intends to trade three paintings of Dante’s Ark, as well as evaluations of pop art, and so on.
Xiao Ran looked at the superactress in front of him, then at Fang Yufei, and then shook his head with a smile.
“I’m very sorry, Mildew, these three paintings of Dante’s Ark by the romantic master Delacroix
, I will not deal with them separately” “And they are all valued at more than $100 million, and the three paintings cost at least $300 million, although you can sell them, it will be very difficult
” “More importantly, I have other arrangements for these three top artworks, so it is impossible to sell them
to you” “As for the few artworks of Pop Art, I advise you not to touch them, Those things are financial products used for speculation
” “When the tide of speculation and speculation subsides one day, the last group of people who take over the baton will absolutely want to cry without tears, and they will lose their blood
” “Ah!”
Mildew sighed, and there was still some disappointment in his eyes.
After a few more conversations, Xiao Ran and Elaine went upstairs to wash and disinfect.
Ten minutes later.
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, they came down from upstairs and into the living room.
As soon as they sat down on the sofa, Mildew and Fang Yufei couldn’t wait to ask about participating in the auction today.
Even if they witnessed the whole process in the live broadcast room, they were still very interested.
Xiao Ran could only tell them once to satisfy their exuberant curiosity.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes have passed.
As he was speaking, Xiao Ran’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
The one who called was Counselor Wang from the Consulate General in New York.
Xiao Ran glanced at Lai Xian, and then chuckled.
As soon as the phone was connected, Counselor Wang’s voice came.
“Good evening, Xiao Ran, congratulations, I found so many top antique works of art again
” “Lao He is not wrong at all
, your luck is really good” Xiao Ran smiled, and then said politely:
“Good evening, Uncle Wang, I didn’t expect your news to be so fast
” “I just returned to the hotel, your phone called
” “Today my luck is indeed good, I found some valuable treasures.”
After a few polite words, Counselor Wang got to the point.
“Xiao Ran, just half an hour ago, we received a cross-ocean call from
the Cultural Relics Bureau” “The Cultural Relics Bureau asked us to cooperate with you and provide necessary assistance to complete the relevant art transactions with the United States
” “I have to say, this idea of yours is really amazing, once it is achieved, it is definitely a great achievement!”
“But I still have to ask, how sure are you of completing this heavyweight art deal?” We also have a bottom in our hearts
” Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then replied confidently:
“Uncle Wang, don’t worry, I will never joke about such a serious matter
” “I dare not say that I will definitely be able to complete this art deal, but I am very sure that it will be achieved
” “Even if I can’t succeed this time, I believe it won’t be long before I can achieve my goal”
Listening to his confident answer, Counselor Wang was immediately much relieved.
“Since you are so confident, then it is best to trade the 40 volumes of the “Yongle Classic” in
the collection of the Library of Congress first” “As for the national treasure-level antique artworks in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum, you can put it until next time
” Xiao Ran smiled and nodded and said:
“I also think so, the weight of the Yongle Canon is heavier, fortunately, the chips in my hand are also enough!”
Saying that, he couldn’t help but think of a crazy old woman.
That crazy old woman happens to be the controller of the US Congress, and the power is large enough!
More importantly, the Library of Congress is under the direct control of that crazy old woman!
Because of this, he dared to boast about Haikou.
Saying that he had a way to exchange the 40 volumes of the “Yongle Classic” from the Library of Congress
for a moment, Counselor Wang continued:
“Yes, the “Yongle Classic” is too important, recording the achievements of our country’s civilization for thousands of years, and it is
our culture and history” “With the destruction and loss of the “Yongle Classic”, coupled with frequent wars, there are many gaps in our research on ancient history and culture.”
If the 40 volumes of the “Yongle Classic” can be successfully returned to China, it will definitely fill in many historical gaps and solve many historical unsolved cases
” “In the past, domestic scholars wanted to study that part of the “Yongle Classic”, but it was simply impossible, and the things that originally belonged to them could not be seen for money, not to mention how humiliated they were!”
“The Yankees simply do not allow domestic scholars to access those national treasure-level ancient texts in order to maintain their authoritative position in related research fields,”
Counselor Wang said, Xiao Ran is very clear.
The same is true not only of the 40 volumes of the Yongle Classic, but also of the ancient Chinese texts collected in major museums and libraries in the United States, as well as at many top universities.
For example, a large number of Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures, the “Siku Quanshu” lost overseas, and so on.
It is basically impossible for Chinese experts and scholars to come into contact with those ancient books and conduct academic research.
As a result, much of the academic research related to it cannot be carried out.
The historical truth recorded in those ancient documents has not been known to Chinese scholars.
Chinese scholars spend a lot of money, and some of the ancient documents that can occasionally be seen are also some less important content.
Those American scholars who study Chinese culture and history can enjoy all kinds of conveniences and can see any kind of information they want.
In this way, a strange situation has been created.
In some fields of study of Chinese history and culture, the most authoritative experts are not Chinese, but blonde foreigners or devils.
For example, in the study of Dunhuang, this situation used to be particularly prominent, but it has changed slightly in recent years.
In other research areas, this is not uncommon and abounds.
The consequence of having the right to speak in the hands of foreigners is.
They can wantonly distort parts of China’s history and culture and interpret it in their favor.
This is followed by the disparagement, suppression and misinterpretation of Chinese culture and history.
Further, it is cultural infiltration and cultural invasion!
Because of this, Xiao Ran will take three “Dante’s Boat” worth hundreds of millions of dollars to exchange for the 40 copies of the “Yongle Classic”
, and this is only the beginning, and the next step, he also wants to exchange for a large number of Dunhuang canons in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum.
The rest of the heavyweight ancient documents that have been lost overseas are also his goals, and none of them can be let go.
Xiao Ran’s fundamental purpose in doing this is to regain the right to speak!
In comparison, the top Western antique artworks such as “Dante’s Ark” are not worth mentioning at all!
After chatting for more than half an hour, Xiao Ran ended the call.
At the end, he made a request.
If you change to those 40 volumes of the “Yongle Classic”, I hope that the Consulate General can use diplomatic privileges to transport those national treasure-level ancient documents out of the United States as soon as possible, so as not to dream more at night!
The request is made because his private jet cannot yet fly non-stop from New York to Beijing.
If you want to transport those national treasures by private jet, you must first fly to Los Angeles and then fly back from Los Angeles.
That would undoubtedly add a lot of risk.
If you are intercepted by the FBI art crime group, it will be a failure!
For this request of his, Counselor Wang naturally would not refuse, and agreed categorically.
As soon as he hung up the phone, before Xiao Ran could put it down, the phone rang again.
This time it was Griffin who called.
The moment he saw Lai Xian, a smug smile appeared on Xiao Ran’s face.
This is a fat sheep sent to the door, not ruthless and slaughtered, worthy of whom!
After the phone was connected and a few polite words, Griffin went straight to the point.
“Sean, the four pop art works you found today originally belonged to an old friend of mine, Brown
” “After he died of illness, those four paintings disappeared, we thought they were sold by him, who knew they were hidden in the warehouse
” “It turned out to be a lucky guy of yours for nothing, your luck is really against the sky!”
“I just discussed with Steve that I am going to jointly acquire those four pop art works, you can make a price!”
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Ran’s face suddenly became stronger.
The Brown that Griffin was talking about was the unfortunate owner of the futures company who unfortunately died.
As for Steve, he is the owner of a famous investment bank on Wall Street and a top collector.
From this, it can be inferred that it is these Wall Street financial vultures who are crazy about pop art!
They wanted to completely control the high-end market of pop art works, so they proposed to jointly acquire these four pop art works in Xiao Ran’s hands.
The reason is actually very simple, that is, I am afraid that he will jump out and disrupt the market!
