Chapter 474
About an hour later, Counselor Wang rushed to the hotel with his people.
He was accompanied by the head of the Boston office of the Consulate General in New York.
Next, during Xiao Ran's activities in Boston, if you encounter any problems, you can directly contact the Boston office.
The head of the Boston office has been ordered to fully cooperate with Xiao Ran's actions and ensure his personal safety.
After meeting and saying a few polite words, Xiao Ran took Counselor Wang and them to admire the two top artworks displayed in the living room.
At the same time, they also whispered about the transaction that would be launched in the afternoon to transport the treasures back to China tomorrow.
In the blink of an eye, the time had come to about four o'clock in the afternoon.
After a lot of busyness, everyone is ready to start trading.
Xiao Ran estimated the time in China, and then took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of Shan Lao in the Forbidden City.
The phone only rang two or three times before it was picked up by Elder Shan.
Obviously, the old man had already got up and was in good spirits.
Xiao Ran first greeted a few words, and then entered the topic.
"Shan Lao, four hours ago
, I and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston have reached an agreement and decided to make a deal" "About an hour later, the transaction will be carried out in the hotel where I am staying, and I will trouble you to help
palm the palm of your hand" "The Museum of Fine Arts of Boston will take out 50 pieces of Chinese antique art that have been lost overseas in exchange for these two top Western artworks in my hand" "These 50 pieces of Chinese antique art
taken out by the other party, Many of them are national treasures, and each piece is worth a lot
" "Including Yan Liben's "Chart of Emperors of the Past", Zhang Xuan's "Pounding Map", Song Huizong's "Five-Colored Parrot Map" and so on,......"
Before the words fell, Shan Lao exclaimed excitedly.
"What? Two for fifty, could it be that the heads of those guys at the Museum of Art in Boston were kicked by donkeys? It was actually taken advantage of by you kid for such a big one!
"The Emperor Diagram of the Past and the Pounding Chart, as well as the Five-Colored Parrot Diagram, these are priceless treasures, you kid did a really beautiful job!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh proudly.
"Those guys at the Boston Museum of Art didn't get kicked in the head, they are Americans, and naturally they value the top Western art, not to mention Titian and Rodin!"
"It was the board of the Boston Museum of Art that made the decision to trade with me, those guys are only semi-professionals and care more about market value, so they made this decision
" "I will send you the list of transactions later, you help gather the members of the appraisal team, after the transaction starts, I will rely on you"
Elder Shan immediately responded.
"No problem, Xiao Ran, you can rest assured, everyone is waiting for this moment, I will convene the expert group!"
"It is our honor to witness the return of these national treasures to China, and it is also a blessing to your boy"
After chatting a few more words, Xiao Ran ended the call.
Subsequently, he sent the list of transactions to Shan Lao, and also to Jin Lao, and they each sent a copy.
Through this list of transactions, they can form an appraisal team in a targeted manner.
More importantly, they should mobilize the staff of the Forbidden City and the National Museum to inquire about relevant information.
With a list of deals, it's undoubtedly more targeted!
Beijing.
Seeing the list of transactions sent by Xiao Ran and the famous national treasures on the list, Shan Lao danced directly with excitement, and his eyes were even a little moist.
Also excited were several other old men, including Elder Jin.
After some celebration, Shan Lao forcibly calmed his emotions, and only then picked up his mobile phone and began to shake people.
When the rest of the appraisal experts in Beijing heard the news, they were also excited.
For Xiao Ran, every old man praised each other and was excited to participate in this matter.
Immediately afterwards, many appraisal experts left their homes one after another and went straight to the Forbidden City against the morning mist.
Boston.
Xiao Ran left the presidential suite, took "Venus in the Bath" and the sculpture of the dead, and walked into the small conference room on the top floor again.
At this time, it was about four-thirty in the afternoon.
After entering the conference room, Xiao Ran thoroughly looked through the entire conference room, just in case.
After making sure it was safe, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said
, "Sam, tell me what's going on outside, is the escort of the Boston Museum of Art leaving?"
When the words fell, Sam's voice immediately came from the walkie-talkie.
"Sean, according to Marvin's report, the escort convoy of the Boston Museum of Art has left and is on its
way to the hotel" "Boston police sent several police cars to escort the convoy all the way, Marven and the helicopter they drove, always escorted over the convoy" "At present, everything is going well, there are no accidents, and no suspicious people or vehicles have been found along the way, which is relatively safe" "
I will always pay attention to the situation of the escort convoy,
The guys in charge of support are ready and can drive away at any time,"
Xiao Ran was immediately relieved to hear that the escort convoy was safe.
After a little hesitation, he said coldly:
"There must be no problem with this escort convoy, who dares to hit the idea of this batch of Chinese antique artworks, Lao Tzu will take him out and kill him even if he goes to heaven and earth
" "Sam, you find someone to talk out, tell those big and small gangsters in Boston City, if you don't want to die, let me stay away from this batch of Chinese antique artworks!"
The next moment, Sam immediately
replied: "Sean, don't worry, we will ensure the safety of this batch of antique artworks
" "The news of the Boston Museum of Art and our company's transaction has been leaked out
" "There are many media reporters downstairs in the hotel, and they want to conduct on-site interviews
" Xiao Ran nodded, and then replied:
"The expected things, it is difficult for the Boston Museum of Art to keep it strictly confidential, It may also be that some people from Harvard University leaked secrets
" "As for those media reporters downstairs in the hotel, don't worry about them, I will arrange for someone to come forward to explain the situation after the transaction is completed
" Then, Sam continued:
"There are several cars of unknown origin on the street downstairs, and there are some gangsters sitting in the car, obviously with bad intentions
" "However, those guys are always under our surveillance, and they can't turn over any big waves, don't worry!"
Xiao Ran turned his head to look out the window, and then said coldly:
"Notify the Boston police, let the police deal with those guys, just drive them away
" "If those fools insist on looking for death, then let the guys take action"
and then told Sam a few words, Xiao Ran ended the call.
Then he walked to the conference room window and looked downstairs into the street and Boston Common.
There are many media interview cars parked downstairs in the hotel, and there are many crowds gathered around to watch the liveliness, the scene is very lively, but there is nothing special.
Secretly, Xiao Ran had turned on the perspective and quickly looked through all the vehicles and personnel downstairs.
Those media interview cars in front of the hotel are not suspicious.
In the crowd watching the bustle, there were a few guys with weapons, and their eyes were red.
However, they were already closely watched by the security personnel mixed in with the crowd, posing no real threat.
In an SUV on the side of the road, Xiao Ran saw several guys wearing FBI uniforms.
From the documents they carried, he could tell at a glance.
These guys are indeed FBI agents, not fake.
And these guys are all from the FBI Art Crime Squad, and the documents are very clearly written.
Obviously, these two top works of art in Xiao Ran's hands, as well as the upcoming heavyweight art deal, have attracted the attention of the FBI's art crime team.
That's why these guys are here and secretly eyeing these top works of art and this deal.
In addition to several FBI agents, Xiao Ran also saw some guys from unknown sources, sitting in different cars, staring at the door of the hotel.
These guys were all carrying or carrying some guns and ammunition on their bodies and in their cars.
Obviously, these guys have bad intentions and are not good people.
But, where do these guys know.
Above their heads, two small drones are hovering in mid-air, condescendingly, staring at them closely.
While seeing these guys in perspective, Xiao Ran also quickly noted down the looks and characteristics of these guys.
Several of the guys were still carrying papers, which he memorized.
When the accounts are settled after the fall, this information will be useful.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had quickly grasped the situation on the street.
At this moment, at the two intersections north and south of the hotel, several police cars suddenly drove out.
As soon as these police cars appeared, they immediately leaned over to the gangsters' vehicles, including the one from the FBI Art Crime Unit.
Seeing the police car coming, the gangsters sitting in the car immediately panicked.
Several FBI agents in the SUV were dumbfounded.
"Fak! Sean that bastard must have found us, so notify the police and ask them to come and investigate,"
an FBI agent cursed in annoyance.
Before the words fell, several cars parked on the side of the road suddenly drove out of their parking spaces and drove towards both ends of the street.
Before the police cars came up to check them, the gangsters driving the vehicles could only drive away.
As they drove away, the guys cursed in annoyance.
They had just been forced out of the street when a loud engine whistling sounded in the air.
Immediately afterwards, two medium-sized helicopters swept into the air and appeared over the street.
The appearance of these two medium helicopters immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many media reporters gathered in front of the hotel, as well as the crowd watching the excitement, looked up into the air and looked at the two medium-sized helicopters.
"Wow! It should be Sean's guy's helicopter, this guy is still as high-profile and flamboyant as ever
" "The Boston Museum of Art won't use air escorts, right?" But it's really safer,"
as he spoke, an armed escort convoy had rushed in and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Xiao Ran, who was standing on the top floor of the hotel, and Counselor Wang watched this scene condescendingly.
The moment they saw the escort convoy, a smile appeared on their faces.
