In the blink of an eye, it was already two days later.
The impact of the Las Vegas riots is gradually passing.
After discovering that there was nothing suspicious about Xiao Ran, the FBI agents guarding outside the villa had no choice but to evacuate.
Although the hidden stake under his nose was removed, Xiao Ran did not dare to relax at all and still maintained a certain degree of vigilance.
He didn't know if there was someone secretly watching him in those invisible corners.
There are also professional treasure hunters in New Mexico who have suffered heavy losses.
It is not certain whether the family members of those unlucky people will turn their anger on him.
In view of this, Xiao Ran has been following the rules and staying in seclusion for the past two days.
Apart from going to UCLA and home, he only went to Goldman Sachs once and stored the treasures he picked up in Las Vegas in the bank's vault.
Most of those treasures have been disposed of by him in the live broadcast room and sold to many fans.
Next, as long as he can get cargo plane space, he will transport the sold treasures back to the country.
The remaining treasures will be sold in my own antique shop in the future.
Then there is the piece of jade unicorn. He does not intend to sell it, but to collect it for himself.
Zigang jade is so rare that there is no shop after this village, so of course it cannot be sold.
In a few days, that treasure will be sent back to China and temporarily handed over to Dad for safekeeping.
Xiao Ran didn't dare to leave that treasure in the United States. If it were lost one day or detained by customs when leaving the country, there would be no place to cry.
To avoid long nights and many dreams, the sooner you return to China, the better.
In addition to these things, a batch of treasures previously sent back to China were also delivered in the past two days and delivered to the fans who took pictures of those treasures.
The fans who received these treasures were naturally very excited and all of them were beaming with joy.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Sylvia and the others arrived at the villa on time.
When they got off the car, these guys were very excited, and their eyes were shining.
As soon as she saw Xiao Ran after getting off the car, Sylvia couldn't wait to ask:
"Sean, when are your rich Chinese friends coming over?"
"Have you reached an agreement on the price of the land deed?"
Xiao Ran looked at the beautiful young woman, then glanced at the other guys, and then said with a smile:
"Guys, the person we are dealing with this time is not a Chinese tycoon, but a representative of a multinational company."
"As for the price of that piece of land, we have tentatively reached an agreement, but it has not been finalized. It will be determined later during negotiations."
"Here, let me emphasize again that the negotiation is led by me. You are not allowed to participate in the meeting with representatives of the other company, and you are not allowed to observe."
"When the negotiation is over, I and the other party will reach an agreement on the transaction price and conditions. When signing the contract, you can review the contract carefully."
"After you are sure that your interests have not been damaged, you can sign the contract and complete the transaction."
Kevin and the others had no objection to these words.
According to the previous cooperation agreement, even if they had objections, they would not have any effect.
Xiao Ran has absolute control over how to deal with this land deed.
"No problem, Sean, you are the largest shareholder, so of course you have the final say."
"As long as it can protect our interests and make us rich, other things are not important."
Wayne said with a vigorous nod.
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement.
Xiao Ran chuckled and nodded, then continued:
"One more thing, in order to ensure everyone's interests, when you enter the living room later, please hand over your mobile phone."
"In addition, my personal bodyguard will conduct security checks to prevent anyone from bringing in eavesdropping and recording equipment."
"I hope that when everyone leaves this villa today, they will only take away the transaction contract and a large amount of money, and not take anything else with them."
Hearing this, Sylvia and the others were stunned.
They were a little confused and didn't quite understand Xiao Ran's intention of doing this.
Kevin, who was the most thoughtful, reacted the fastest.
"Sean, I agree with your approach. No audio or video of what happened in this villa today must be leaked out."
"In that case, relevant audio and video materials may be maliciously edited and used, thus harming everyone's interests."
Following his words, the others also woke up.
Immediately afterwards, these guys nodded and expressed their support for Xiao Ran's approach.
From their point of view, they absolutely do not want to see any accidents happen to this transaction, let alone a huge amount of amazing wealth.
Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Xiao Ran nodded and then led these guys into the villa.
Soon, the time came to half past nine in the morning.
The Deputy Consul of the Consulate General and Counselor He arrived here on time, along with two representatives from PetroChina and their lawyers.
After everyone met, they exchanged polite greetings and introduced each other.
After entering the villa, Xiao Ran introduced Elaine, Fang Yufei, and Sylvia.
After going through the procedures on the scene, he took Counselor He and the others into the small living room and officially started the negotiation.
Everyone sat down on the sofa, chatted for a few words, and then got down to business.
"Xiao Ran, we have already reported the billion dollar quotation you proposed to the company's senior management."
"After careful evaluation, the company decided to accept this offer and buy the land in the Permia Basin from you."
The negotiator from PetroChina dropped a bombshell when he came up.
"ah!"
David exclaimed and was immediately stunned.
PetroChina's generosity shocked him.
At this time, he was completely convinced that Chinese people were very rich.
At least a few Chinese people he knows are very rich, and this Chinese oil company is even more exaggerated.
Is this too much money and no place to spend it? He was actually willing to spend one billion dollars to buy 820 acres of land.
Even though there are amazing oil and gas resources underneath that land, the price is too expensive!
Xiao Ran was also stunned for a moment, and then a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
He knew in his heart that the billion dollars was not just for buying this land.
Some of the money is actually a reward in disguise.
The top-secret information he had previously sent back to China via Ma Ming was the source of this huge bonus.
Taking advantage of this transaction, the country paid this huge bonus to itself in this obscure way.
Even the top management of PetroChina probably don’t know the origin of this bonus. They are just following orders.
The two parties have reached an agreement on the most important issue of price, and the rest of the matter will be easy to negotiate.
"If you can accept a billion-dollar offer, that would be great, but I still have a few requirements."
Xiao Ran said excitedly.
The two PetroChina representatives looked at each other, then nodded and said:
"Tell me your request, Xiao Ran, we are all ears."
"OK"
Xiao Ran nodded in response and immediately put forward his conditions.
"First of all, the first condition is that once the land transaction is completed, we will completely withdraw. We will not care about any subsequent matters other than the transfer of ownership."
"In other words, PetroChina is responsible for communicating with the U.S. government and the New Mexico government, and your company will be responsible for the outcome."
Without any hesitation, the CNPC representative immediately nodded and said:
"No problem, we agree to this request. In fact, we have also thought of these things."
"Our public relations department will coordinate the relationship between all parties. In the United States, we also have a public relations company that we have cooperated with for a long time."
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"Secondly, I request that the transaction amount be divided into two equal parts, half to be paid in China and half to be paid in the United States."
"The half of the payment in China can be in U.S. dollars or RMB, and the half of the payment in the United States is naturally in U.S. dollars."
"Hahaha"
All the Chinese people present laughed.
Everyone immediately understood why Xiao Ran did this.
Obviously, he was worried about the Yankees and was afraid of being robbed by them.
By paying in this way, he would be able to keep at least half of his earnings and not have them all robbed.
Next, negotiations continue.
This negotiation did not last long, and most of the time was spent reviewing the terms of the contract.
There is not much time actually spent on negotiation.
Soon, forty or fifty minutes passed.
The meeting is over.
Xiao Ran took Counselor He and the others out of the small reception room and into the large living room.
Sylvia and the others, who were sitting in the large living room waiting, were all looking forward to seeing what happened.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others coming out, these guys immediately stood up.
Xiao Ran glanced at these guys, then smiled and announced the results of the negotiation.
"Guys, the talks are over, we have an agreement"
"China National Petroleum Corporation has decided to acquire the land we jointly own for one billion U.S. dollars."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a few thumps.
Sylvia and the other two guys fell down on the sofa in excitement.
Immediately afterwards, there was an almost crazy cheer.
"Oh my God! A billion dollars!"
