Chapter 423
After the shock, the president of Yale University whispered in anticipation:
"Sean, since these two top works of art appear in Yale, it means that they are likely to be in the hands of someone in Yale before"
. On behalf of Yale University, I hope to acquire these two top works of art from you
" "As for the purchase price, what is the valuation you give?"
"We can also sit down and have a good talk, the price issue is good to say,"
the university president showed great generosity, not taking the price of up to four or five billion dollars seriously.
In his eyes, four or five billion green US dollars, how can these two top works of art have a high value!
Besides, what Yale has is money, and there is no problem with taking out this money to acquire two top works of art.
Like Harvard, Yale is one of the richest universities in the United States and the world.
In addition to government grants, they receive countless donations every year, and they can't even use up the money, so they can only use it for various investments.
The investment in antique art is an important part of this.
Most of the antique artworks in the Yale University Art Gallery, except for those donated, were bought through various channels.
If you can win these two top works of art in front of you, they will surely become the treasures of the Yale University Art Museum.
Such a rare thing that can enhance the artistic taste of Yale University, these Yale executives are willing to miss it.
As soon as the president of Yale University finished speaking, the rest of the people echoed one after another, all full of expectation.
The most urgent ones are the deans of the Yale School of Art and the director of the art museum.
"Sean, the valuation you gave for these two top works
of art, we fully recognize, we can trade on this basis" "If you do not accept this trading method, we can also trade in another way
" "As far as I know, you are keen to collect top Chinese antique art in the diaspora, or pay for it, or exchange it with Western antique
art" "Our art museum has a lot of Chinese antique art, I can exchange some of it with you,"
said the director of Yale Art expectantly.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's eyes couldn't help but flash a smile.
However, he did not immediately respond.
After a little hesitation, he smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, I understand Yale's desire to acquire
these two top works of art, but it is too early to say this matter" "Whether to sell these two top works of art, and in what way to sell and trade, I have not yet thought about it" "When I think about this matter and make a decision, I will inform you" "
Now I can only say that if I decide to sell these two top works of art,
Yale University will definitely be given priority,"
hearing this, these high-level Yale executives paused in unison.
However, they can only accept such an outcome.
Who makes these two top works of art belong to someone else!
With Yale's prestige and status, it is obviously impossible to forcibly buy this kind of thing, let alone under the public.
Even if you want to do this kind of thing, it has to be done differently.
Find someone to do it behind the scenes, and you can't show any flaws.
More importantly, this person in front of you is definitely not an object that can be bought and sold by force!
"Okay, Sean, we'll wait for you to make a decision
" "I hope we can reach this art deal and make a good start for our cooperation,"
the president of Yale whispered, somewhat disappointed.
Immediately afterwards, the dean of the art school continued:
"Sean, since we can't make a deal now, can you let us enjoy these two top works of art?"
"Especially Miller's "Late Return", it is too precious, and few people in the world have seen it
" "Since this realistic immortal work appeared at Yale, it would be a pity if you couldn't seriously appreciate it"
Hearing this, the rest of the people quickly nodded.
Xiao Ran glanced at these guys, thought for a while, and then smiled and nodded and said:
"Let everyone enjoy these two top artworks, of course, no problem, but not here
" "This is obviously not suitable and does not have the conditions, I will take these two top artworks to Yale campus later
" "Please enjoy these two paintings at that time, I believe you will all be intoxicated
" "That's great, We are all looking forward to it,"
said the dean of the School of Art with a nod.
The rest also nodded and could only accept the arrangement.
After a few more conversations, Xiao Ran suddenly asked:
"Professor Baker, at this time, shouldn't you be discussing the joint exploration agreement, why did you suddenly come here?"
Hearing this, Professor Baker immediately nodded.
"We were originally discussing the joint exploration agreement, and suddenly received the news that you found these two top-level artworks, so we left the conference room and rushed here
" "Several professors from the law school are reviewing the joint exploration agreement one by one, as long as they pass the review, we can sign the agreement
" "So it is, I hope to hear your good news"
Xiao Ran said abruptly, and then changed the conversation.
"Gentlemen, I heard that there are several antique shops nearby, we are going to go shopping and see if we can find something
" "I won't chat with everyone, let's see you later!"
After that, he was ready to leave.
At this moment, the dean of the art academy and the director of the art museum said in unison:
"We are just idle now, let's accompany you to stroll
" and "We are very familiar with several antique shops nearby, and we can be a tour guide"
, Xiao Ran would refuse, and then nodded and agreed.
The group then took their leave and walked down the street to an antique shop.
Looking at Xiao Ran's departing back, Principal Yale suddenly whispered:
"This is really a magical fellow, it seems to be a wise decision to cooperate with him
" "With his luck against the sky, the joint exploration team may really be able to find that secret colonial treasure"
The other people nodded, and their eyes were full of expectation.
Immediately afterwards, the dean of the School of History said in a low voice:
"How can I have a sense of foreboding, my heart jumps!"
"These antique shops nearby may experience a catastrophe today!"
"Ugh!"
Principal Yale and the others exclaimed in unison, all stunned.
At the same time, the media reporters and many onlookers who had gathered in front of the antique shop.
It was like a tide, following Xiao Ran and leaving.
Not only that, many Yale students who heard the news, as well as the citizens of New Haven, were coming here from all directions.
Seeing this scene, Professor Baker and they were all shocked.
Like the dean of the School of History, they began to worry about several antique shops nearby!
Today's New Haven Antique Market is perhaps the darkest day!
......
In the blink of an eye, it was about half past noon.
This is an antique shop located on the Yale campus, which is small in scale, but very tastefully decorated and very artistic.
At this time, the entrance of this antique store has been surrounded by water, and the scene is also very lively.
The people gathered here included journalists from the media, many New Haven citizens, and even some local officials.
But the largest number were a large number of Yale students.
Fortunately, this is the Yale campus, even if the street has been completely blocked by the crowd, it does not matter, it will not cause any damage.
"It's been half an hour since Sean entered this antique shop, wondering what good things he'll find this time?"
"I have to say, this guy is really terrible, and extremely greedy!"
"He is simply ransacking, who can resist it!"
A Yale student said with emotion, but his words were full of envy.
Before the words fell, another guy had already said:
"Who said it wasn't, this bastard is simply a robber, don't let go of any treasure you see!"
"None of the three antique shops he just visited escaped the bad luck of being ransacked,...... Just
as people were talking, the door of this antique shop on the side of the road finally opened.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran took Elaine and them out of this antique store.
At this time, they had another box in their hands and a telescopic painting tube.
Seeing this scene, everyone outside instantly understood.
The antique shop did not escape the bad luck of being ransacked, and was madly ransacked by Sean, a bastard.
The extra box, and the telescopic tube, contained apparently the loot of Sean's bastard.
The Indian shopkeeper who sent Xiao Ran out of the antique shop, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, it was difficult to see the extreme, and he seemed to be about to cry when he looked at it!
The dean of the Yale School of Art and the director of the art museum who accompanied the shopping were shocked and excited.
At this time, they were all staring at the painting tube in Elaine's hand, as well as the box Nick was holding, and their eyes were a little red!
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he was very relaxed.
The first time he came out of the antique shop, he quickly scanned the situation on the street, and then said with a smile:
"Guys, the time is almost up, let's go to lunch, and then go to the School of History to discuss the signing of the joint exploration agreement
" "Take this opportunity to enjoy our harvest today, which is also a small appreciation meeting"
An hour ago, Professor Baker called.
After some review, Yale decided to accept the joint exploration agreement drafted by David, and only a few minor adjustments were needed to sign the agreement.
When the joint exploration agreement is officially signed, this joint exploration operation will soon begin.
Hearing Xiao Ran's words, the director of the art museum immediately continued:
"This arrangement is very good, Sean, I will arrange the restaurant!"
"To be honest, I can't wait to see this little appreciation begin!"
"I have to say, you guy is really terrifying, unbelievable!"
Before the words fell, everyone at the scene nodded in agreement, obviously feeling the same way.
Immediately afterwards, the dean of the art academy suddenly said:
"Sean, can you lend us the art academy two days to show this Sargent painting you just discovered?"
"We are holding the Twentieth American Painting Art Salon and need a heavyweight work like this!"
"No problem, this watercolor oil painting by Sargent, I can sell it to you,"
Xiao Ran said with a smile and a nod, very crisp.
As he was talking, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Christopher.
The moment he took out his mobile phone and saw Lai Xian, a smile immediately flashed under Xiao Ran's eyes.
It seems that you can enter the tomb of the Skeleton Society and explore!
