Around ten o'clock in the morning.
The Saudi escort convoy, loaded with antiques, artifacts, works of art, and a large number of luxury goods, left the warehouse area with a bang and headed straight for the Saudi Consulate General in Los Angeles.
After watching the escort convoy go away, Xiao Ran turned around and led David towards the warehouse.
One night passed, and now he was already a rich man worth billions of yuan.
Just over an hour ago, he had nearly $800 million in his bank account.
This huge amount of money, which is enough to make people crazy, is exactly what the Saudis paid for the goods.
By consulting David, he asked the Saudis to divide the huge sum of money into two parts and transfer them to two bank accounts respectively.
Half was transferred to his bank account in China, and the other half was transferred to a bank account opened in the United States.
In this way, there is no need to worry about being looted by the US government.
Of course, the taxes that should be paid to the Americans cannot be less.
The half of the payment transferred to the U.S. bank account will not only be used to pay taxes, but there will also be a lot left over, enough to meet subsequent development needs.
As for the half of the payment that is transferred back to the country, my father will naturally take care of it at this stage, and it will be deposited in the bank to earn interest.
Just wait until you find suitable investment opportunities in China and then invest them.
Even if he didn't invest, just lying around and eating interest would be enough for Xiao Ran to wait for death and live a comfortable life.
You know, that is a huge wealth of just over 2 billion, and the interest alone is tens of millions or hundreds of millions every year.
After transferring this huge amount of money to a domestic bank account, Xiao Ran immediately told his parents, which almost scared the old couple out.
It took Xiao Ran a long explanation before his parents accepted the fact, and then went straight to the bank to check the balance.
No need to ask about the results, feedback came back quickly.
The half of the payment has been fully accounted for and is sitting in the bank account, exactly the same.
While talking, Xiao Ran and the others had arrived at the door of the warehouse.
Anthony and the others are still here, along with the six armed security personnel hired later.
After a night, these guys were all a little tired.
Coming closer, Xiao Ran looked at them, then smiled and said:
"Guys, everyone has worked hard. When today's events are over, each of you will receive an additional bonus of $50,000."
"This is my reward for everyone. We will definitely have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. I hope it will be as enjoyable as this time."
Before he finished speaking, An Ding, the others and the security personnel were already cheering.
"Wow! $50,000 bonus, that's awesome!"
"Thank you, Sean, you are such a generous boss!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, gave these guys a few more words, and then walked into the warehouse with David.
As soon as he entered the door, he immediately said to David:
"David, please immediately arrange for your assistant to help me rent a personal safe. Not only must it be large enough, but it must also be the safest and strongest vault in Los Angeles."
"Everything left in the warehouse is valuable, especially those high-end brand watches and jewelry. They must be stored in a vault to be safe."
"No problem, Sean, just leave this matter to me. It will be done soon."
David nodded in response.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around and left the warehouse, going out to make arrangements.
When he left, Xiao Ran immediately switched to Mandarin and said through the Bluetooth headset:
"Half asleep, ask your family in Los Angeles to come pick up the car! That Middle Eastern special edition Bugatti Veyron is so eye-catching."
"If I drove that car out, I would definitely let it go, and I wouldn't be able to find a suitable garage to store it in."
"Just transfer the car payment to my domestic account. As for how to get the supercar back to China, you can figure it out yourself."
The next moment, half asleep and half awake, he responded excitedly.
"Come on! I've been waiting for more than 20 hours, but I've been waiting for this moment. It's worth it for that Bugatti Veyron!"
"I'll send you the money right now. Please check it carefully. Someone will come to pick up the car for you within an hour at most."
Xiao Ran planned to keep one of the two supercars parked outside the warehouse and sell the other.
Considering his own preferences and his childhood dream of Ferrari, he decided to keep the fiery red Lafa.
When you have time, you can also drive out to enjoy the speed of supercars, and occasionally show off.
As for the Bugatti Veyron, after a few rich second-generation people in the live broadcast room bid for it, it was finally won by the guy who was half asleep.
Compared to the Rafa, the Middle East special edition convertible Bugatti Veyron is rarer and more expensive.
However, this car is also more difficult to maintain and is a complete money-burning machine.
Apart from anything else, if you drive more frequently, the money spent on maintenance and replacement of wheels and tires in a year is enough to buy a BBA luxury car.
This is one of the reasons why Xiao Ran chose Lafa instead of Bugatti Veyron.
The sale of this Middle East special edition convertible Bugatti Veyron brought him another 36.8 million yuan in profits.
There is no doubt that this is a huge sum of money, enough to make countless people jealous.
But for Xiao Ran now, it was nothing more than that, and he no longer cared about it.
After the notification, half asleep, Xiao Ran took out another mobile phone and started calling the collector named Liu who bought Rembrandt's self-portrait.
As for the mobile phone number, it was sent by Shangbo Lao Li via private message, so there was no problem.
In the blink of an eye, the call was connected.
The other party is at Lao Li's home in Shangbo at this time and is watching the live broadcast. There is no doubt about his identity.
After introducing themselves to each other and confirming that there was no problem with their identities, Xiao Ran immediately got to the point.
"Uncle Liu, you can arrange for someone to come and take away the Rembrandt self-portrait. Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
"Please transfer the payment for the Rembrandt painting to my domestic bank account. After receiving the payment, I will hand over the oil painting to the person you sent."
Before he finished speaking, Uncle Liu replied excitedly:
"Okay, Xiao Ran, I have already contacted my relatives, art dealers and lawyers in Los Angeles, as well as antique art appraisal experts."
"I will inform them to set off and pick up the painting from the place you designated. As long as the on-site identification is correct, I will make a bank transfer immediately."
"After you receive the payment, give the oil painting to the person I sent. I will get the oil painting back to China as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, then I'll wait for your people to come over."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
After chatting for a few more words, he hung up the phone and walked to the rest area.
At this time, the warehouse was much empty and seemed a bit messy, but it was still orderly.
All the items left here were packed into sorting boxes and stacked next to the rest area. There were also several portable safes.
These items include Rembrandt's self-portraits, many valuable luxury watches and jewelry, as well as a large number of top luxury goods, etc.
Their overall value is also staggering, adding up to over $100 million.
Apart from Rembrandt's self-portrait worth US$52 million, the most valuable items are the high-end, limited-edition watches and jewelry.
As for other valuable luxuries, they were no longer in Xiao Ran's eyes.
After more than twenty hours of continuous work, Elaine was exhausted and had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
After entering the rest area, Xiao Ran did not check out the treasures piled aside, even the Rembrandt self-portrait worth 52 million US dollars.
He went straight to the couch where Elaine was lying, sat down next to her, and looked at the curvaceous sleeping beauty.
As soon as he sat down, Elaine woke up, obviously very alert.
The environment at the scene did not allow her to be vigilant.
She relaxed when she saw that the person sitting next to her was Xiao Ran.
"Sean, what time is it now? Is the matter settled?"
Elaine asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"It's still early, you just slept for less than twenty minutes."
"It's estimated that it will take three or four hours before we can go back to rest and hold on for a while longer."
Xiao Ran briefly introduced the situation.
"I know, then you can get busy. I'm really tired. Let me take a nap first."
With that said, Elaine fell towards the sofa.
However, Xiao Ran grabbed her and said with a smile:
"Don't sleep yet, I have a little gift to help you cheer up."
"When you see this gift, I guarantee you won't sleep at all and will become energetic."
"Ah! A small gift? What on earth can it have so much magic power?"
Elaine said in surprise, somewhat energetic.
Seeing her depressed look, Xiao Ran didn't show off.
He reached into the watch pocket of his jeans, dug inside a few times, then took out something, held it in his palm, and handed it over.
"Open my hand and you will know what this gift is."
Elaine looked at his hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The next moment, the beauty couldn't wait to open his palm.
What appeared before her eyes was a blue diamond weighing more than ten carats.
Under the illumination of the scene lights, this hexagonal blue diamond radiates bright light and is dazzling.
"ah!"
Elaine exclaimed and was stunned, her eyes filled with ecstasy.
"How's it going? Do you like this little gift?"
"If you don't like it, I can change it for you with a pink diamond of the same size, or a Kashmir sapphire."
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
Following his words, Elaine suddenly woke up.
The next moment, she suddenly rushed over.
"Thank you, Sean, this is the most beautiful gift I have ever received!"
As she said that, she threw herself into Xiao Ran's arms.
Looking at Xiao Ran again, he was caught off guard and was thrown directly onto the sofa.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly clenched his palms to prevent the blue diamond from flying out.
In the live broadcast room, there was an instant howl of wolves.
"Pounce! It's too fierce!"
