Not only a few Saudis and many fans in the live broadcast room, but also David didn't know why.
Only Elaine seemed to understand the meaning of Xiao Ran's words and nodded slightly.
Looking at the confused Saudis, Xiao Ran smiled softly and then began to explain the reason.
"The reason is actually very simple. Ancient Egyptian civilization has always been regarded as one of the sources of Western civilization and has attracted much attention."
"This can be seen from the obelisks throughout the Western countries."
"For example, the Luxor Obelisk in France, the Washington Monument in the United States, and the wordless obelisk in the Vatican, etc."
"The obelisk is one of the most important symbols of ancient Egyptian civilization and represents ancient Egyptian civilization."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene nodded.
"Indeed, the Western world has always believed that ancient Egyptian civilization is one of the sources of Western civilization."
Aziz nodded in agreement and said.
The next moment, Xiao Ran started talking again.
"Because of this, some heavyweight antiques from ancient Egypt are regarded as priceless treasures in Western countries."
"For example, the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum, the Temple of Dendur in the Metropolitan Museum, etc."
"Given the important status of the goddess of life Isis in ancient Egypt, this statue of the goddess of life can be regarded as a priceless treasure!"
After hearing this, Aziz and the others basically understood the meaning of Xiao Ran's words.
After understanding this, their expressions became much more solemn.
But they made no sound, and continued to listen.
The same goes for the fans who can understand English in the live broadcast room. They all listened with great interest.
"As we all know, the United States is a country with no historical heritage and a pitifully short history."
"They urgently need some heavyweight antiques and cultural relics to increase their historical and cultural heritage and get rid of their image of nouveau riche."
“The most popular items are antiques and works of art from ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and ancient Rome.”
"Another point is that, to a certain extent, Isis is the ancient Egyptian prototype of the Virgin Mary, which has a very special and important meaning."
"Since this ancient Egyptian goddess of life appears in the United States, how could the U.S. government let it go? It will definitely try its best to keep it in the United States!"
"As long as the U.S. government puts this statue of the Goddess of Life on the list of antique artworks that are restricted from leaving the country, no one can get this statue out and can only collect it in the United States."
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Aziz and the others were silent, lost in thought.
The live broadcast room was extremely lively.
"What Xiao Ran said is absolutely correct. The United States is an upstart with no historical background."
"After suddenly becoming rich, I urgently need to search for some good things to decorate my appearance and improve my taste."
He said with a crooked mouth in agreement.
The next moment, demons and monsters came out.
"Holy shit! When did this guy Xiao Ran become so awesome? He talks clearly and clearly, and there seems to be nothing he doesn't understand!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately replied with a smile.
"You read so many books for nothing as a buddy. I live in the United States and have a deep understanding of these."
"Although the United States is the world's leader, those in the upper class have sharpened their heads and want to have relations with the established European aristocrats."
"All of this is a manifestation of a lack of historical and cultural heritage, a lack of self-confidence, and showing cowardice at every turn!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room, and everyone laughed.
Mr. Jin, Mr. Qin and others who were also in the live broadcast room sent a series of good wishes one after another!
Warehouse site.
Several Saudis woke up and discussed a few words in Arabic in low voices.
Immediately afterwards, Aziz asked curiously:
"Sean, if we don't acquire this statue of the Goddess of Life, what are you going to do with this top-notch antique artifact?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Ran to see how he would respond.
Xiao Ran didn't hide anything and told him the solution he had thought of for a long time.
"If you don't accept this statue of the ancient Egyptian goddess of life, then I am going to sell it to a museum or individual collector in the United States."
“The American Museum of History, the Metropolitan Museum, and the Getty Museum, etc., may all become my clients.”
"In addition to these top museums, there are also many top collectors. In order to be arty, those guys must come in droves!"
"Hahaha"
There was another burst of laughter at the scene and on the live broadcast.
After the laughter subsided, the Saudi deputy consul said:
"Sean, I need to ask my superiors for instructions on whether to purchase this statue of the Goddess of Life and whether to accept your offer before I can tell you the answer."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"No problem, Mr. Vice Consul, you can call your superiors to report the situation."
"During this period, everyone can take a break and recover."
After saying that, he pointed to the sofa not far away, and then took David and the others there to rest.
The Saudi deputy consul and cultural counselor stepped aside and called their immediate superiors.
As a result, the call lasted for twenty minutes before it ended.
After hanging up the phone, the three Saudis immediately approached Xiao Ran.
"Sean, we have decided to acquire this statue of the ancient Egyptian goddess of life at your price, which is US$280 million."
"As for how to transport this statue or keep it in the United States, that is our business."
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, but understood instantly.
The Saudis are likely to use this statue of the ancient Egyptian goddess of life as a bargaining chip to negotiate something with the US government.
For the Saudis, they have plenty of money but not many bargaining chips.
Now that they encountered such a good bargaining chip, they couldn't bear to miss it.
Xiao Ran certainly welcomes this kind of good thing.
"Great, Mr. Vice Consul, deal done"
As he spoke, he shook hands with the Saudi vice-consul and concluded the antiques deal.
At this point, the most important and valuable treasures in the Saudi prince's container have been processed, but they have not yet been settled and delivered.
Seeing Xiao Ran shaking hands with the Saudi vice-consul to seal the deal, David and Elaine immediately cheered.
The live broadcast room was even more lively.
"Fuck! Two hundred and eighty million US dollars, eighteen or nineteen small goals, and the Saudis just agreed? They are so rich, Xiao Ran is making crazy money!"
exclaimed a high school classmate.
"Eighteen or nineteen small goals, have you just gone online? Counting this amount, Xiao Ran has already earned more than forty small goals, and he can't even print money so fast!"
He said in a loud voice while half asleep.
The speed with which Xiao Ran swept away wealth like crazy shocked the rich second generations in the live broadcast room and made them extremely envious.
Even among them, how many people have so much wealth?
They may have some at home, but they are all the work of the old man, and they have no control over them.
As for other people in the live broadcast room, their eyes were already red with envy.
In the warehouse.
After a brief celebration, Xiao Ran got into the follow-up cleaning work.
At this time, the night outside was getting darker and darker.
Nothing happened all night.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.
After spending a whole night, Xiao Ran finally counted everything in Prince Saudi Arabia's container, and completed the appraisal, evaluation, and segmentation work.
Except for antique cultural relics and works of art, as well as those valuable luxury watches and jewelry, the appraisal and evaluation of other items is not so rigorous.
Xiao Ran took a quick look at the items, asked Elaine to check the brand and value online, and asked fans in the live broadcast room to conduct appraisals, and then gave an approximate valuation.
As for dividing the work, it's even simpler.
Almost all Arab-style items, as well as the leftover items selected by fans in the live broadcast room, were gathered together by him and prepared to be packaged and sold to the Saudis.
There are many valuable things here, including a large number of customized luxury goods, all of very good quality.
The Saudis are also very happy to buy these things, not to mention that this is an agreement between the two parties and they must eat these things.
After completing the cleaning work, Xiao Ran immediately let out a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
Then, he turned to look at the Saudis sitting on the sofa and resting.
It’s time to reap the wealth!
