Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 654
Chapter 656
After a while, Xiao Ran and Timothy had already selected their own people.
Subsequently, selected company employees and museum museum personnel entered the shelter deep underground and began a clean-up operation.
Following them, a large number of cleaning equipment and painting tubes, as well as portable safes, were hung into the secret passage one by one.
In addition, the Gardner Museum and the FBI Art Crime Unit, as well as the Philadelphia police, each sent a representative to the underground scene to supervise.
Immediately afterwards, the clean-up operation began!
After arranging everything, Xiao Ran returned to the large-screen TV, ready to stare at the clean-up operation in the underground shelter through the video screen.
However, the president of Pennsylvania State and the director of the museum, who had just arrived, couldn’t wait to find him.
Coming closer, the two immediately went straight to the point.
“Mr. Sean, Frank just introduced that all
the stolen antique works found in this joint operation are in the hands of your company” “Through the video footage that was leaked earlier, we found that in this shelter deep underground, there are two stolen antique works of art that originally belonged to our museum” “These two stolen antique works of art are
a bronze sculpture by the master sculptor Pevsner and a painting by the master Mondrian”
“Along with these two top works of art, there are two other paintings, both masterpieces, perhaps also in this underground sanctuary
” “May I ask, Sean, when will we be able to get these stolen antique works of art?”
“After these antique works of art were stolen, we hung out a high reward, and now that these treasures have been found, we will cash out the reward as soon as possible,”
said the director of the University of Pennsylvania Museum expectantly, but his eyes showed a little worry, and his eyes were a little erratic!
As an insider, he knows very well!
This Chinese kid in front of him is extremely difficult to deal with, he never suffers the slightest loss, and no one can take advantage of him!
With his words, everyone at the scene turned their heads to look over.
Because of the different positions, everyone’s mood is also different.
David and Frank both had a little smile in their eyes, looking like they were not too big to look lively!
Several Frenchmen led by Fargot wanted to see how Xiao Ran dealt with these problems and what kind of answers he would give!
According to his response, Fargot they can decide, what to do next!
As for Elaine and Fang Yufei, as well as Pierre, their eyes were full of concern!
Xiao Ran looked at the president of the University of Pennsylvania and the director of the museum, and after a little hesitation, he smiled and nodded and said:
“Gentlemen, Frank is right, all the stolen antique art found in this joint operation, the right to dispose of it is in our company, not the FBI art crime team
” “The reason why this situation occurred is because this joint operation was initiated by us, and all the investigation and investigation work in the early stage was done by our company”
“It was with the unremitting efforts of our employees that Miles and McCann, the two largest art thieves in American history, were discovered and locked up
” “Then I approached the FBI Art Crime Unit and the Philadelphia police, as well as the Gardner Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and cooperated to carry out this joint
operation” “At the beginning of the operation, we signed a multi-party cooperation agreement, one of the contents of the agreement. It stipulates that all
stolen antique works of art found are at the disposal of our company” “Of these stolen antique works of art, all stolen antique works registered by the police, half of them belong
to our company” “The rest of the unowned stolen antique works belong to our company, and our company has agreed with the rest of the parties on
this” “The Gardner Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art have accepted this cooperation condition, that is, Half of the stolen antique art in these two museums now belongs to our company
” “Ah!”
The president of the University of Pennsylvania and the director of the museum exclaimed in unison, and they were directly stunned in place, their eyes full of incredulity.
Not only them, but Fargot and the others also had round eyes, full of incredulity.
Without waiting for them to wake up, Xiao Ran continued:
“Your University of Pennsylvania Museum wants to get back those stolen
antique artworks, you can only accept this condition” “That is to say, the stolen antique artworks in your museum, as long as they are found by us, half of the ownership will belong
to our company” “Of course, I very much welcome you to trade with our company in exchange for the half of the stolen antique artworks, how to trade, Let’s sit down and talk” ”
For example, I am very interested in the two of the six juns of Zhaoling collected by your museum, which were smuggled to the United States by Lu Qinzhai and then sold to your museum”
Before the words fell, the president of Penn University and the director of the museum shook their heads in unison.
“This is impossible, we will never accept such conditions, this is simply robbery!”
“Those antique works of art are stolen items, since they have been found, they should be returned to our museum, and we will honor the bounty” ”
It is ridiculous for us to give up half of the ownership of those stolen antique works of art!”
Not only the two of Penn, but also Fargot shook his head firmly.
Peggy and Timothy, who were also at the scene, first smiled bitterly, and then there was a bit of schadenfreude in their eyes!
! In their opinion, whether it is the Penn Museum, several of France’s top museums, or the rest of the museums and collectors, it is impossible to escape the tragic fate of being looted!
Solo music is not as good as everyone’s happiness!
Thinking of this, they suddenly felt less flesh pain!
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he looked at the president of Penn University and the director of the museum, and then said with a sneer:
“If you want to talk about stolen antique artworks, I believe you also know very well that the two of the six juns of Zhaoling collected by your museum were smuggled out of China by Lu Qinzhai, and they are also stolen
antique artworks” “Decades have passed, when did your museum think about returning these two important antique artworks to China?” Never have been, right?
“As far as I know, there are still many stolen antique works of art smuggled by Lu Qinzhai from China to the United States and then sold
to you in your museum, and you have not returned a single one” “In addition to Chinese antique art, there are many stolen antique works of art from Egypt and ancient Babylon, as well as Greece and other regions in your museum, and you have not returned a single piece either”
The president of Penn University and the director of the museum were completely dumbfounded, and their faces instantly became as black as the bottom of a pot, which was very ugly, also extremely embarrassing!
They knew better than anyone that what Xiao Ran said was not wrong at all.
More than half of the millions of items in the University of Pennsylvania Museum’s collection have questionable provenance, and they are stolen antique art.
Among them are many stolen antique works of art from China, many of which are national treasures.
Most of these stolen antique works of art from China were smuggled to the United States by Lu Qinzhai, a traitor, including national treasures such as Zhaoling Liujun Two.
As Xiao Ran said, the University of Pennsylvania Museum has never thought of returning any of the stolen antique artworks.
This matter is now raised by Xiao Ran in public, can the president of Penn University and the director of the museum not be embarrassed?
Not only them, but also the other museum directors on the scene felt a little hot on their faces!
The situation is similar in their respective museums, which museum has not had stolen antique art?
What museum has thought about returning those treasures? None at all!
Elaine and David, who were also at the scene, secretly snickered.
But they can’t laugh out loud, they can only endure it, so miserable and miserable!
Xiao Ran did not give the president of Penn a chance to refute them, and quickly continued:
“One thing everyone must make clear, we are a treasure hunting company, always profit-oriented
” “According to the rules of the American treasure hunting industry, as long as we find the treasure, at least half of it belongs to
us” “These antique artworks stolen by Myers and McCann were found by us, of course, we must deal with them in this way”
If you have an opinion on this treatment, then I’m sorry, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get back half of the stolen antique art anytime soon.”
There was an exclamation at the scene again.
This time, not only the president of Penn and the director of the museum, but also Fargot and they exclaimed.
At the same time, their faces became even more ugly.
Only then did they seem to realize it.
Xiao Ran’s company is a treasure hunting company, not a government department.
According to the rules of the American treasure hunting industry, they can’t win if they want to.
Thinking of this, they all realized.
If you want to get back all the stolen antique art, the possibility seems very low!
This result made the president of Penn University and others very frustrated and stunned in place again.
Xiao Ran looked at these guys, and then turned his head to look at the TV screen.
At this time, in the shelter located deep underground, Nick and they have begun to clean up.
The clean-up went very smoothly without incident!
The stolen antique artworks hidden in the underground shelter were removed and disassembled by Nick and them.
They are then placed in tubes or bags, and boxes, and sealed.
Soon, the first batch of stolen antique artworks that had been packed up were transported out of underground shelters and onto the ground.
The first to come up from the secret passage was Nick’s guy.
He carried a black painting bag in his hand, carefully.
As soon as he came up, he handed the painting bag to Xiao Ran.
“Sean, inside this painting bag is Raphael’s “Portrait of a Young Man”,…… “Before
the words fell, everyone at the scene brushed the floor and looked at the painting bag.
Everyone’s eyes instantly turned red, and their eyes became extremely hot!
You know, what is in that painting bag is a priceless treasure worth more than $2 billion!
Fist of the Six Juns of Zhaoling
