That night.
As soon as Xiao Ran returned to the Plaza Hotel, he received a call from Miller.
The Gulfstream G700 took off from New York and successfully landed in Los Angeles after five or six hours of flight.
After staying at the Los Angeles Airport for just over an hour and filling up with aviation fuel, the private plane took off again and flew straight to Beijing on the other side of the ocean.
Escorting this batch of Chinese antiques, cultural relics and artworks to Beijing was a Chinese student, Anthony who stayed in Los Angeles, and David's other assistant lawyer.
As before, after arriving in Beijing, they were still unable to get off the plane and had to stay in the cabin.
After handing everything over to my sister-in-law and resting for a few hours, they had to fly back to Los Angeles.
As for the painting from Picasso's pastoral period, it remained in Los Angeles and was stored in a bank vault.
When Swift returns to Los Angeles, she can take it out and take it home.
When he heard that the transfer process went smoothly, Xiao Ran took a deep breath and relaxed a lot.
He was really afraid that the FBI Art Crime Team would do something wrong and intercept him halfway, which would be troublesome.
Perhaps it was because he agreed to keep the valuable set of violins in the United States that the FBI Art Crime Team did not come out to cause trouble.
In the blink of an eye, it was already around ten o'clock the next morning.
It’s still MOMA.
Xiao Ran and Elaine were standing in front of Van Gogh's "Starry Night", admiring this outstanding representative work of Post-Impressionism and the treasure of MOMA, and discussing it in low voices.
At this moment, Xiao Ran's phone suddenly vibrated several times.
Feeling the vibration, he quickly took out his phone and took a look.
The call was from my sister-in-law.
Seeing Laixian, a smile immediately appeared on Xiao Ran's face.
Afterwards, he said hello to Elaine and the others, then walked aside to answer the phone.
Since MOMA has not yet opened to the public and is only open to members for the time being, there were not many visitors in the exhibition hall and it was very quiet.
At this time, you can answer the phone here without worrying about disturbing others.
The call was connected, and my sister-in-law's voice came immediately.
"Xiaoran, we are at the Capital International Airport. We just received the babies you sent back."
"I compared it with the list you sent, everything is there, everything is correct."
"And everything is intact. All the seals you posted with your own hands are still there, and there is no trace of them being opened!"
"We took videos of the entire handover and reception process and will send them to you later."
Xiao Ran nodded, then smiled and said:
"Now that everything has arrived in Beijing safely, I'm relieved!"
"Sister-in-law, this batch of antique cultural relics and works of art is quite special, and the processing method is different from before."
"You give all the portable safes containing Chinese calligraphy and painting works to Mr. Jin and the others, and they will take them back to the Forbidden City."
"Most of those calligraphy and painting works are in very poor preservation conditions, and some of them need to be rescued and protected immediately. Only the Forbidden City and the National Museum can do this."
"I have agreed with Mr. Jin and the others on this matter. You can just take the rest of the antique cultural relics such as Xuande stoves and porcelain and store them in the vault!"
As soon as the words fell, my sister-in-law responded immediately.
"I know, Xiaoran, Mr. Jin and the others are right next to them, checking out the treasures."
"You haven't seen that these old men have the same spirit, and everyone's eyes are shining."
"Hahaha, that's to be expected."
Xiao Ran said with a smile, his eyes filled with pride.
Then he gave his sister-in-law a few more words before he ended the call.
Immediately afterwards, he made another call to Mr. Jin and Anthony.
Explained some things and learned about the relevant situation.
As he hoped, there were no accidents in this batch of Chinese antiques, cultural relics and artworks shipped back to China.
While he was on the phone with Mr. Jin, his sister-in-law had already sent the handover video.
After making the call, Xiao Ran clicked on the video and browsed it quickly.
After confirming that there was no problem, he sent the news to the fan WeChat group, then put away his phone and continued to enjoy Van Gogh's "Starry Night"
At this time, the fan WeChat group was already boiling with excitement.
…
In the next two days, Xiao Ran was basically at MOMA during the day.
He admired all the many top modern artworks displayed in this top museum.
Even the top-notch works of art stored in the warehouse, as long as they were within the perspective range, he admired them one by one.
With the help of his clairvoyance ability, he can see very thoroughly and clearly when appreciating these top modern works of art.
Compared with when I visited MOMA more than two years ago, my feelings now are very different, and the rewards are even different!
Through this visit, his understanding of various modern and contemporary art schools has reached a new level.
Naturally, my ability to appreciate works from various modern and contemporary art genres has also made great progress.
More importantly, his strength has become stronger and his self-confidence has also increased.
The three beauties who visited together also benefited a lot.
They all have a relatively comprehensive understanding of modern and contemporary art and have deep feelings.
Fortunately for Elaine, she grew up in the Louvre and often went to the Musée d'Orsay across the river.
Under the long-term influence, she has long been a semi-professional, and her appreciation level is higher than that of many so-called experts!
Coupled with the continuous practice and intensive training during this period, she is now a very good appraisal expert.
Compared with her, Swift and Fang Yufei are much worse.
They have never systematically learned about modern and contemporary art, and they don’t have many opportunities to come into contact with it.
They took this opportunity to learn some knowledge in this area.
Coupled with Xiao Ran and Elaine's professional explanations, they enjoyed the visit and learning process very much and couldn't stop coming back every day!
The only thing that makes people scratch their heads is the many fans who gathered outside the gate of MOMA after hearing the news.
Those guys are quite fanatical, and every time Swift shows up, it causes a commotion and even causes traffic jams!
Fortunately, Sam and the others and Lulu's bodyguards were well prepared, so there was no surprise.
As for the sneak attack that took the opportunity, it didn't happen, everything was calm!
In fact, no one dares to cause trouble at MOMA.
Behind MOMA is the Rockefeller Family Foundation.
Within the Rockefeller family, this top museum is affectionately called Mom’s Museum!
To a certain extent, this is a restricted area, no one dares to cause trouble here!
Just when Xiao Ran was lingering in MOMA, countless people were staring at him and they were all confused!
Those guys didn't know his true intentions. They could only make random guesses based on their imagination. They were all confused!
At the same time, Xiao Ran's company employees were not idle, and they were all running around Manhattan.
They were divided into several groups and appeared in several target neighborhoods with different identities to inquire about various information and understand the local situation.
The most important one is to inquire about house prices and land prices, as well as the various rights associated with them, etc.
They will also go to places such as the Central Library and City Hall to inquire about various information and prepare for the next action.
During this period, Mike quietly registered a leather real estate company to facilitate his work.
The legal person of this leather bag real estate company is Fang Yufei.
When this exploratory operation is over, this leather bag company can be cancelled.
Or you don't need to cancel it, you can use it to manage the real estate and properties that Xiao Ran purchased in New York.
After a few days, all the preparations have been almost completed.
All these actions are unknown to others.
In the blink of an eye, it’s another day, in the evening.
As the closing time came, Xiao Ran and the others walked out of this top museum talking and laughing, preparing to return to the Plaza Hotel.
Just like the previous two days, there were still a large number of enthusiastic fans gathered at the entrance of the museum.
As soon as Swift appeared, these guys started shouting excitedly.
"I love you Swift and your new album is amazing!"
"Take a photo with me, Swifty, I've been here for three days in a row."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
He glanced at the ardent fans and then whispered:
"Taylor Swift, go over and say hello to the fans. We'll get in the car first and wait for you in the car."
"We will not come to MOMA tomorrow. Don't let fans wait here again."
"For safety reasons, don't get too close when meeting. This is a special period after all."
After saying that, he took Elaine and Fang Yufei into President Escalade One.
Swift nodded, and then, escorted by several bodyguards, walked towards the fans outside the cordon.
Seeing this scene, those fans suddenly became more excited.
Xiao Ran and the others were used to this kind of situation and didn't take it seriously.
As soon as she sat down, Elaine asked curiously:
"My dear, if we don't come to MOMA tomorrow, where will we go?"
"The Metropolitan Museum has also reopened. It only accepts visits by members. We can visit the Metropolitan Museum."
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"Dear, don't forget the purpose of our coming to New York. We can talk about visiting the Metropolitan Museum later."
"After a period of planning, some actions can now be carried out, sooner rather than later!"
Both Yi Lian and Fang Yufei were stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
However, they didn't say much and just nodded vigorously.
After a while, after dealing with fans, Swift also got into the car.
The motorcade immediately started to leave, heading towards the Plaza Hotel not far away.
