Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 679
Chapter 681
After more than an hour of negotiations, Xiao Ran reached a partial agreement with several French museum curators, but it was only a preliminary agreement.
Several museums, including the Louvre and the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris, agreed to trade with him.
However, the antique artworks that the two sides took out for trading are not completely certain, and further negotiations are needed.
Only Sophie of the Guimet Museum did not immediately accept the terms of the deal offered by Xiao Ran, saying that she still had to think about it before deciding.
At the same time as the partial agreement was reached, the two parties also determined the transaction method.
When the two sides formally sign the deal, several museums in France will pack up all the Chinese antique artworks used for the trade and ship them to Beijing on chartered flights.
After arriving in Beijing, Shan Lao and Jin Lao will organize an expert group to conduct an appraisal.
After making sure that there was no problem with all the Chinese antique art, Xiao Ran handed over the corresponding stolen antique art, which was transported by Pierre to Paris.
At this point, this series of heavyweight art transactions is completed.
After the meeting, Xiao Ran and they went straight back to the presidential suite.
After a while, Pierre knocked on the door and walked in.
After entering the door, he immediately said:
“Sean, if possible, you better come up with a list of traded antique works of art
as soon as possible” “Martinez, they want to complete this series of transactions as soon as possible, so as not to dream too much at night
” “The US government ransacked Poles and intercepted Raphael’s “Portrait of a Young Man” just happened, Martinez they are worried that the same thing will happen to them”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly chuckled.
Immediately afterward, he nodded slightly.
“Okay, Pierre, I’ll pull out the list of transactions tonight and send it to your phone
” “Martinez they have such worries, it’s normal, to be honest, I also have such worries
” “I also want to complete this series of transactions as soon as possible, drop the bag, and store so many top antique works of art in the vault of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, I don’t worry
” “In case the US government tears off its face, don’t, Forcibly intercepting all the stolen antique artworks, as well as those treasures I exchanged, it would be a big trouble
” Pierre nodded, and then continued:
“It is indeed possible that such a thing is done in the usual bandit style
of the US government” “If I guessed correctly, you donated antique art to the family foundations of the two US presidents just to prevent them from turning their faces, right?”
Xiao Ran nodded, and then said:
“I do have this intention, but not all, whether this kind of charitable donation works
, it is not good to say for the time being” “Now in the United States, the two presidents of the old and new are in full swing, the focus is on each other, and they can’t take care of other things for a while” ”
When the new US president comes to power, no one can say badly, whether that white-haired old guy will immediately turn his face, I have to guard against it!”
“Before the new president of the United States takes office, these things must be dealt with, if they are not finished, there may be some variables
” “About this, you better tell Martinez about them, especially Sophie, let them hurry, I won’t wait for them too long”
Pierre’s face suddenly became much more solemn, and then nodded.
“Got it, Sean, I’ll tell Martinez and Sophie about you later,” and
after a few more conversations, Pierre was ready to leave.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
“Pierre, tell you one thing, after a while, I may take someone to France to track down some things
” “If you find something like a treasure map in Paris, you may wish to pay attention to it, I can fund the acquisition
” “I will lead the team to France, if you have enough time, you can also explore in Paris, maybe you will find something”
Pierre was stunned, A look of surprise quickly flashed in his eyes.
The next moment, he asked excitedly:
“You are going to lead a team to France, do you know what treasures are hidden somewhere in France, so go to France to explore?”
Xiao Ran shook his head with a smile, and then explained a few words.
“The reason why I took people to France is to trace the traces of Lu Qinzhai, a big antique dealer who died decades ago” “Lu Qinzhai is
the largest antique smuggler in Chinese history, smuggling countless top
antique cultural relics and works of art from China” “In the fifties of the last century, he ended his antique business in New York and left New York with dozens of boxes of antique relics and works of art
” “After he arrived in France, The dozens of boxes of antique relics and works of art from China have disappeared, and no one knows where they have gone
” “They may be hidden in some unknown corner of France, I went to France to track down this batch of Chinese antique relics and artworks”
Hearing this, Pierre was suddenly stunned.
“It turns out that you are trying to track down Lu Qinzhai’s big antique dealer, and I have
also heard about that batch of Chinese antique artworks” “But no one knows where those Chinese antique artworks are, and the Guimet Museum, which has a good relationship with Lu Qinzhai, did not get those treasures
” “I heard that the Guimet Museum also organized manpower to investigate the batch of Chinese antique artworks, and went to Lu Qinzhai several times”
“But until Lu Qinzhai died, He also did not say the whereabouts
of the batch of Chinese antique artworks, and the matter slowly fell silent in the end” “If you can find that batch of Chinese antique relics and artworks, it would be great, and your private museum will also have a lot of collections
” Xiao Ran nodded lightly, and then said:
“That’s what I mean, such a large batch of Chinese antique relics and artworks, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, I don’t want to let go
” “In the past three or four hundred years, France has always been the cultural and artistic center of Europe and the United States, and countless masters and art schools have been born
” “This time to France, if I am lucky, I may have some other surprise discoveries,……”
With his words, Pierre suddenly became more excited.
Elaine and Fang Yufei, who were sitting on the side, were also full of excitement.
One of them wanted to go home, the other wanted to go to Paris, and of course raised their hands to support Xiao Ran’s decision.
The next moment, Pierre continued:
“Sean, about the treasure map, I will help you pay attention
” “In the Saint-Tooin antique market in Paris, as well as Montmartre and other places, there must be a lot of
treasure maps” “As for the authenticity of those treasure maps, it is unknown, you need to judge by yourself”
Xiao Ran’s eyes suddenly lit up, and then nodded.
“I know, Pierre, just inquire about the news, I will judge the authenticity of those treasure maps
” “The antiques market of Saint-Coupin in Paris and the Montmartre Heights, I have been admired for a long time, I must go to visit it then”
After a few more words, Pierre left the suite and returned to his room.
As soon as he left, Elaine and Fang Yufei immediately cheered.
“Fantastic! We’re going to Paris! At that time, I will go to the Champs-Élysées to have a good stroll
” “I really want to go back to Paris immediately, I haven’t gone back for more than a year”
Looking at the two beauties who were cheering, Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then poured a basin of cold water on them.
“Honey, Yufei, it’s still a little early for you to celebrate
” “We’re going to Paris, a month and a half at the earliest, or even longer
” “After dealing with things in Philadelphia and Boston, we will first
go back to Los Angeles” “After staying in Los Angeles for a while, it will be the Chinese
Spring Festival” “At that time, we may have to go back to Beijing for the Spring Festival and reunite with our families” “After the Spring Festival,
If there are no other things, let’s fly directly from Beijing to
Paris” “If there are other things happening, the trip to Paris may have to be pushed back”
The words fell, and the two beauties couldn’t help but be stunned.
Immediately afterwards, they all had big smiles on their faces.
“This arrangement is very good, let’s go back to Beijing for the New Year first, and then go shopping in Paris, without delaying anything,”
Fang Yufei said excitedly.
Before the words fell, Elaine had already said excitedly:
“It must be very interesting to go to Beijing for the New Year, China’s Spring Festival is very lively, I would like to go to see it, and then go back to Paris”
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
“My dear, you may be disappointed, now the situation is special, this year’s Spring Festival must be very dull
” “But it’s not important, the most important thing is to be able to go home and reunite with your family, my family welcomes you very much”
Elaine was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
“Yes, reuniting with family is the most important, but China and the United States are still in a state of suspension of flights, can we fly to Beijing smoothly?”
Xiao Ran nodded confidently and said:
“Don’t worry about this, now we can enter and leave the United States at any time, and returning to Beijing is not a problem at all
” “Of course, after we go back, it is inevitable that we will have to live alone for half a month, and I will let my family arrange it” Hearing that we were going back to live alone for half a month
, the expressions of the two beauties immediately collapsed.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran took the laptop and started working.
While researching several French museums on the Internet, he discussed with Elaine and them which Chinese antique artworks to exchange.
It took him about an hour to pull out a list of antique artifacts and artworks.
After making sure the list was correct, he sent it to Pierre.
By the time these things were done, it was around ten o’clock in the evening.
Next, Xiao Ran took out his mobile phone and began to video call his family.
The phone was connected in a blink of an eye, and my parents appeared on the video screen at the same time.
In addition to them, my sister-in-law also sits in her living room.
Without waiting for Xiao Ran to speak, the old mother couldn’t wait to say:
“Xiao Ran, how did your kid transfer back so many dollars today?” That’s a scary amount, nearly $3 billion!
“Your sister-in-law rushed over in the middle of the night, and then we sat awake until now, and our hearts were up and down
” “Just now, the leader of the Foreign Exchange Administration called to inquire about the situation, and they were also a little surprised”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed proudly.
“Don’t worry, dad and mother, those money are my legal income, and every penny can withstand investigation!”
“Tell you a good thing, from today onwards, the money in my hand can freely enter and exit the United States
” “Whether it is the US government or the Treasury Department, as long as it is legal income, they will not restrict the free flow of my money”
The words did not fall, and my father exclaimed.
“Ah! How is this possible? Did I hear you right?
“You know, this is billions of dollars of capital flow, in any country, it is subject to control, how can you just leave?”
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then explained the reason.
Although her sister-in-law is responsible for collecting money in China and keeping an eye on the huge flow of funds, she does not know the inside story.
For the sake of secrecy, Xiao Ran did not tell his sister-in-law the truth before, only saying that billions of dollars may be transferred to domestic bank accounts today.
Now I hear Xiao Ran say that he openly bought off two US presidents in the form of charitable donations and let them give the green light to themselves.
Unsurprisingly, my parents were completely stunned and directly stunned in place!
