Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 568
Chapter 570
The next day, in the morning.
Harvard University Art Museum, Conference Room.
Xiao Ran is closing the deal with the Harvard University Art Museum here, completing the deal that has been struck before.
The object of the delivery was the Indian antiques and gold products auctioned by the Harvard University Museum, as well as a series of Chinese antique artworks that they exchanged.
In previous private auctions, although the Harvard University Museum auctioned a lot of Indian antiques, it was not delivered on the spot.
Xiao Ran agreed with them that when all the auctions were completed, they would be delivered at one time, saving trouble.
Because of this, Xiao Ran brought the many Indian antique artifacts they photographed to the Harvard University Museum today.
Also here is Professor Adrian of Yale University, who is here to supervise.
After the completion of the settlement, these Indian antiques and gold products photographed by the Harvard University Museum will be sealed on the site and handed over to Yale University for relevant academic research.
When Yale University completes its research work, the Harvard University Museum can display these antique artifacts and conduct related research!
This situation made several professors of the Harvard University School of History and the museum’s senior management very unhappy!
However, they can only grit their teeth and accept all this.
No way, this is something that was agreed upon before the auction.
For the sake of Harvard’s face, they are not good at breaking their word!
At this time, the long conference table in the conference room is filled with various antique artifacts and works of art.
Among them are Indian antiques and gold products that have just been discovered and brought for sale, as well as many Chinese antique works of art collected by the Harvard University Museum and ready to be traded.
While speaking, Xiao Ran had finished looking at a bronze jue from the Warring States period and gently placed it on the table.
This bronze piece is well preserved without any problems and is a very precious and rare bronze.
The only pity is that there is no inscription on this bronze knight.
In addition, bronzes are not allowed to be traded in China, so the price does not go up, so Xiao Ran picked up such a bargain.
The Harvard University Museum took out the Chinese antique artworks traded this time, including many bronzes, each of which is very good.
And this is also the baby Xiao Ran wants the most.
Compared with these treasures, those exaggerated and strange Indian antique relics and gold products are not worth mentioning in his eyes!
After putting down this Warring States Bronze Jue, Xiao Ran looked at a piece of pottery placed next to him.
This is a simple faience pot that is basically well preserved.
The clay bowl is light yellow ceramic, and some face fish patterns are painted in black color.
The human face is round, with a towering triangle above the head, the left half of the forehead is painted black, and the right half is a black half-curved sickle.
This should be the tattooing habit of the ancients at that time, and it is also related to the collective worship of fish by the ancients!
These face fish patterns on the clay pot also reveal a bit of innocence and childishness, which looks like it gives people a sense of intimacy.
And this is exactly the record of the primitive life of Chinese ancestors.
When looking at this simple and exquisite faience pot, Xiao Ran didn’t even dare to touch it with his hands, lest he cause the slightest damage to this faience pot!
Looking at this faience pot, his eyes were extremely bright, and his eyes were hot and about to burn.
Fortunately, he lowered his head slightly and deliberately covered it up, and others did not find anything abnormal.
In fact, several high-level executives and appraisal experts at the Harvard University Museum are focusing on appreciating and appraising those Indian antiques, and they have no time to pay attention to this side.
After admiring it intoxicated for a moment, Xiao Ran nodded and said:
“That’s right, this is the famous Banpo cultural faience pot, it’s really rare!”
“This kind of light yellow clay, from the Weishui and Hanshui river basins, as well as this exquisite human face fish pattern
” “and this kind of innocence and childishness, are the best proof
” The words did not fall, and Mr. Qiu, who was far away in China and participated in the appraisal through the video, had said excitedly:
“Your kid saw it very accurately, Xiao Ran, this is indeed a fake Banpo cultural faience pot” ”
The same style of Banpo cultural faience, There is one piece in the National Expo, that
is a Banpo cultural human face fish pattern faience pot, unearthed in Xi’an Banpo Village” “That human face fish pattern painted pottery pot is a national first-class cultural relic and a national treasure among national treasures, and it is strictly forbidden to go abroad for exhibition
” “I didn’t expect your kid to be able to exchange for a human-faced fish pattern faience pot of the same level this time, it’s really lucky!”
Before the words fell, Shan Lao
couldn’t wait to continue: “Xiao Ran, this is a national treasure, and it is very fragile, you must protect
this national treasure” “When you send this national treasure back to China, it would be great if you could lend it to the Forbidden City for a period of time
” “Of course, you can also put this treasure in your personal exhibition hall and exhibit it publicly”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but laugh proudly.
Immediately afterwards, he smiled and said
: “Several old men, don’t worry, I will definitely protect this national treasure and return it safely to
China” “As for the exhibition after returning to China, we will talk about it later
” After discussing a few words, Xiao Ran suddenly looked up at Martha on the opposite side, and asked curiously: “Martha,
can you introduce the origin of this human-faced fish-patterned faience pot?”
“How did your museum get this treasure?” When you traded before, you didn’t introduce it”
Hearing him ask, Martha immediately looked up.
She glanced at the human-faced fish-patterned faience pot and thought for a moment before she began to explain.
“This ancient human-faced fish-patterned faience pot was purchased by us from the big antique dealer Lu Qinzhai in the mid-forties of the last century
” “This style of faience pottery purchased together at that time, a total of five or six pieces, this one is the most exquisite
” “Unfortunately, this treasure was targeted by this guy of yours, in exchange for the favorite Indian antique cultural relics, we had to take it out and exchange
” “Fortunately, we have several other pieces of faience of the same style, Trading this treasure to you will not affect the collection and display of this category”
Before the words fell, Xiao Ran had already gritted his back teeth and cursed.
“Me! It’s Lu Qinzhai, that damn traitor again!
“How many national treasure-level antique works of art have been vacated by this traitor?” I’m afraid I can’t count it!
In anger, he copied Mandarin, and did not worry that Martha and others would understand.
But Shan Lao and others who were far away in Beijing heard it very clearly.
The next moment, several old men also gritted their teeth and cursed.
“A traitor like Lu Qinzhai, it’s not too much to pull out and shoot 10,000 times, it’s really a super scourge!”
“In the thirties and forties of the last century, Lu Qinzhai went to Xi’an many times to search for all kinds of antique cultural relics, and it should have been at that time that he took away these national treasures
” After cursing a few words, Xiao Ran switched to English again and said
to Martha: “Thank you for your introduction, Martha, I know the origin of this treasure” ”
I am very happy to be able to exchange this treasure from your hands”
After a few polite words, he looked at another treasure next to him.
This is a green landscape, from Wang Shimin, one of the four kings of the early Qing Dynasty, which is a very good work of art and worth a lot.
Xiao Ran first looked at the appearance of the scroll, then put on gloves, gently opened the landscape painting, and admired it with interest.
Several old men in Beijing were the same, all looking at the painting with their eyes shining.
In the blink of an eye, the time had come to about eleven o’clock in the morning.
After appraising all the exchanged Chinese antique artworks and determining that there was no problem, Xiao Ran settled with Martha on the spot and completed this series of transactions.
The Indian antique artifacts and gold products he brought with him naturally had no problems.
Subsequently, Xiao Ran personally packed these Chinese antique artworks into several portable safes.
Then he took his leave, taking Elaine and David with them out of the Harvard University Museum.
As hosts, Martha and Professor Samuel and others drove them all the way outside the museum’s gates.
At this time, the two medium-sized helicopters that Xiao Ran and they were riding on were parked on the square in front of the museum.
The many bulletproof SUVs that escorted the convoy stopped on the side of the road one after another.
The news that Xiao Ran came to trade with a large number of Indian antique relics and gold products has already spread throughout the Harvard campus.
In fact, they came too high-profile!
In particular, the two roaring medium-sized helicopters, when they flew over Harvard, had already alarmed almost all Harvard students.
Hearing this news, many Harvard students gathered at the entrance of the museum and came here to see the excitement.
As a result, Xiao Ran came out of the museum and raised their eyes to see such a scene.
The square in front of the museum has long been filled with lively Harvard students, and the black pressed crowd.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Martha
joked: “Sean, now you have become a legendary figure
” “Whether at Yale or at Harvard, many students are very curious about you and even regard you as an idol!”
“Few people have such treatment, you know, this is Harvard University!”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately chuckled.
“Hahaha, I am very honored to be regarded as an idol by Harvard students, and I am also a little apprehensive
” “For Harvard, a top famous school, I have been admiring it for
a long time, and I have long wanted to come here to visit it well” “Unfortunately, I can’t do it this time, I have a lot of antique artworks around me, so I can only visit it another day”
Xiao Ran said with a smile, and said two nice words by the way.
With his words, Martha and they all smiled and nodded.
“Sean, when you are free one day, welcome to visit the Harvard campus, I believe you will be worth the trip!”
“If you want
to come to Harvard for further study, we are very welcome” “You know, Harvard economics is the top in the world, you can also come to Harvard Business School to study for an MBA,” Harvard
University vice president continued, sending out an invitation by the way.
Whether it is Harvard or Yale, as well as other top universities in the United States and the world, which school does not want to recruit Xiao Ran now? Nothing else!
A young super-rich man like him is a coveted target for every top university.
If he can be recruited, he will definitely get a large donation and get a super-rich alumnus with unlimited potential and deep pockets.
Compared with other super-rich people, Xiao Ran can bring more things to his school.
For example, a treasure that is unknown everywhere, an antique artifact and artwork of amazing value, and academic research opportunities and achievements related to it.
What just happened in Boston, Yale’s great gains, is the best example.
Xiao Ran did not agree to the invitation of the Harvard vice president, but he did not refuse the other party.
After a few polite words, accompanied by Martha and Professor Samuel, they carried heavy portable safes and walked towards the two medium-sized helicopters parked in the square.
When they walked through the crowd of Harvard students on the scene, there was an immediate commotion.
“Sean, is your company still hiring? I studied art history, can I work for your company?
“Where are you going for your next expedition?” Sean, can you tell us about that?
Many Harvard students asked, all full of curiosity.
Xiao Ran greeted these guys while marching.
“Guys, if you want to work in my company, you can pay attention to some of our company’s websites
” “We will post job postings from time to time, you may be able to join my company
” “As for the next exploration operation, it is not good to say yet, so I can’t introduce the situation”
As they spoke, they had passed through the crowd and came to two medium-sized helicopters.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran shook hands with Martha and said goodbye, and then took Elaine and David to board one of the medium-sized helicopters.
In a short time, the two medium-sized helicopters roared up and flew straight towards the distant Old Boston City.
