MM Racing Chapter 384
Chapter 384
The night passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was a new day.
It's past seven o'clock in the morning.
After the morning exercise and washing, Xiao Ran was having breakfast with Elaine and them in the restaurant.
At this moment, Sam and David knocked on the door and walked into the suite, coming to report the situation outside.
Seeing that it was them, Xiao Ran immediately led them into the study.
After sitting down in the study, Sam immediately began to report the situation.
"Sean, we just received news that the fools who attacked the convoy last night
have all been killed" "The gang in the Bronx has been uprooted and almost all the members are dead
" "Those guys were involved in the attack on the convoy last night, that is, none of them were innocent
" "The people who killed them were mainly police and armed security personnel, and several other gang scum and so on"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sneer.
"These fools are seeking their own death, no one can save them, I can't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless
" "Since they are all killed, then I should also fulfill my promise, each robber 500,000 US dollars, a lot of points
" "Including those robbers who died on 56th Street last night, let Mike take two security personnel to the police station to check
" "After determining the identity of those robbers and determining who killed them, I will immediately cash the reward"
When the words fell, Sam and David immediately nodded.
"Understood, Sean,"
he said a few more words, and Sam left the suite.
Immediately after, Mike knocked on the door again and walked in.
Xiao Ran gave this guy a few words and asked him to take someone to the Manhattan Police Department to do errands.
He is a lawyer, and it is most appropriate to do these things without causing any trouble.
After receiving the assignment, Mike immediately left the suite and went to the Manhattan Police Department with two armed security guards.
Later, Xiao Ran called Nick in again.
As soon as he entered the study, Nick handed over a list.
"Sean, this is the bank account submitted by those New York security personnel last night
" "We checked one by one, there is no problem with these bank accounts"
Xiao Ran took the list and glanced at it, then smiled and nodded.
"No problem, I'll notify Miller when I get back and let him send money to these accounts and cash out the rewards,"
At this point, he suddenly changed his tone.
"Later, you will contact the hotel, and then go to the banquet hall on the top floor to set up the exhibition
" "Christie's will send someone to assist you and prepare for the private auction in the afternoon
" "Pay attention to safety during the installation process, and carefully search every corner of the banquet hall
" "Don't worry, Sean, leave this to us"
Nick nodded and replied.
Next, Xiao Ran gave this guy a few more words and let him go out to run errands.
In this private auction this afternoon, Xiao Ran will auction some Western antique artworks found during his trip to New York.
Among them are the works of several famous Russian painters.
A significant number of the buyers invited to the auction are wealthy Russians or their art dealers.
In addition to the afternoon auction, Xiao Ran still has a lot of things to do today, and it will definitely be very busy.
He is meeting with representatives of several museums and auction houses that have previously reached agreements to deal with other Western antiques.
Some of these Western antique works of art are sold to several museums at slightly lower than market prices.
Some Western antique works of art are entrusted to several top auction houses, which will be auctioned publicly.
The rest of the antique artworks left in hand will be shipped to Beijing and Los Angeles respectively.
The antique artworks shipped to Los Angeles will be sold by the company for cash in the future.
The treasures shipped to Beijing will become Xiao Ran's personal collection, which will be displayed in his personal exhibition hall and private museum.
After dealing with these antique artifacts and artworks, the trip to New York should be over.
Next, the next exploration will begin.
After Nick left, Xiao Ran looked at David.
"What was the reaction of the outside world to what happened last night? What was the reaction of the New York City authorities?
Hearing this, David immediately laughed.
"I heard that the mayor of New York City was thunderous last night, and he was angry enough, but he didn't do anything against
us" "Because the police were mainly involved with the robbers last night, and the relationship between the New York police and blacks was very tense
" "In this case, neither the New York City authorities nor the media dared to
do anything on this matter" "For us, this is undoubtedly very beneficial, plus the evidence is conclusive, basically do not worry about causing any trouble"
"I have submitted all the videos taken during the escort to the police, and the evidence is enough to prove everything!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and nodded.
"Of course, the police will not trouble us, don't forget, the New York Police Union only accepted my $5 million donation last night
" "The New York police officers who participated in the fire last night and later chased down those robbers, everyone should be able to share a large bonus
" "In this case, as long as the New York police senior management is still reasonable, they will not risk offending a large number of subordinates to come to my trouble!"
"Hahaha, that's true!"
David smiled and nodded.
Next, they discussed for a while and talked about today's arrangements before ending the conversation.
David then left the suite and went back to his room.
Xiao Ran walked out of the study and entered the living room.
When he entered the living room, Elaine and Fang Yufei were watching the morning news report.
Seeing him coming, Elaine immediately said in surprise:
"Honey, we just changed several channels, but none of them reported what happened last
night" "Compared to last night's lively news reports, today's major TV stations are surprisingly calm, why is this happening?"
Xiao Ran looked at the morning news report that was being broadcast and laughed softly.
"The reason is actually very simple, the robbers who tried to rob the escort convoy last night were all black, but it
was the New York police who killed them" "A few days ago, a large protest demonstration against the police broke out in New York, and even Fifth Avenue was looted
" "In this sensitive period, the New York authorities and police have to try to downplay this matter, so as not to trigger black anger again"
Hearing his explanation, the two beautiful women suddenly appeared, I also let out a breath.
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to nine o'clock in the morning.
Thomas of the Metropolitan Museum and several other museum directors, as well as the general managers of the three major auction houses, arrived at the Plaza Hotel on time.
The meeting point between the two sides is still a small conference room on the top floor of the hotel.
After meeting a few pleasantries, Scott asked curiously:
"Sean, last night we had just left 57th Street not far when we heard a fierce gunshot from behind
" "And I also heard that you once again hung up a high bounty to hunt down all the robbers who attacked the escort convoy
" "Is this true?" Who were those robbers last night? You guy is crazy!
When he said this, a look of jealousy quickly flashed in Scott's eyes, and even a little fear.
Not only him, but Thomas and Charles are the same.
In the face of such a ruthless guy who does everything to fight the enemy, can they not feel jealous?
Xiao Ran looked at these guys, but shook his head with a smile.
"It's not as exaggerated as rumors from the outside world, I did hang out a high reward, that is just a means to assist the police in handling the case
" "The purpose of my reward is to allow the police to lock up the suspect as soon as possible, and then solve this robbery, fortunately, the effect is not bad"
Hearing this, Thomas and they all rolled their eyes and complained secretly one by one.
Are you there to assist the police in handling the case? It's just to get the lives of those robbers!
The robbers who tried to ransack the escort convoy last night are said to have all been killed and died overnight!
This is too ruthless, kill it all!
After chatting a few words about last night's events, everyone got to the point.
"Tell me about it, Sean, what antique art are you going to take and sell to our museums?"
Thomas asked expectantly.
Before the words fell, Charles continued:
"We would also like to know, Sean, what antique works of art will you come up with and entrust to our three auction houses?"
"Today we are full of expectations, and we came with armed escorts, hoping to return with a full load
" Xiao Ran looked at these old friends, and then said with a smile:
"Gentlemen, don't be impatient, you will see those
antique artworks soon, I believe you will not be disappointed" "However, which antique artworks you choose each need to be coordinated by yourself, I will only take care of the supply"
Another point, given what happened last night, after you have made your choice, it is best to escort those treasures from the air,"
Thomas and they nodded excitedly.
"Let's take a look at the antique artwork first, and we'll talk about the rest later!"
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then nodded at the employee who operated the projector.
The employee instantly realized and immediately turned on the projector.
The next moment, a beautiful but somewhat heavy oil painting immediately appeared on the projection screen.
The moment they saw this painting, Thomas and they were stunned for a moment, and then cheered in unison.
"Fantastic! This is the master Repin's "Tolstoy's Farm": "
Sean, you guy is really generous, you are even willing to take out this oil painting!"
