In the blink of an eye, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
In the study.
Nick and Mike are sitting on the couch, reporting on the results of their work today.
"Sean, we met with the owner of the apartment building at 450 East 64th Street this afternoon to discuss the purchase of that apartment building."
"The other party is indeed interested in selling that apartment building, but the asking price is relatively high. Compared with other apartment buildings in the same location, his asking price is much higher."
Nick briefly introduced the situation.
Xiao Ran nodded, and then asked curiously:
"How much does the other party offer? Let me tell you. If the price is not too high, I can accept it."
"The most important thing now is time. We must capture that apartment building before others notice."
The next moment, Nick gave the answer.
"The other party quoted us US$260 million, including all facilities in the building, as well as the private garden behind the building, the garage, etc."
"There are currently 16 tenants in the apartment building, and they are all long-term renters. The owner will transfer all the tenants' leases."
Upon hearing this quotation, Xiao Ran immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! This guy is really a big talker. He dares to ask for a price!"
"If that apartment building was on Fifth Avenue, facing Central Park, the price would make some sense, but it would still be on the high side!"
"Do I look like a victim? This owner just wants to kill me. Isn't he overthinking it?"
"Hahaha"
David and the others all laughed and thought the offer was a bit outrageous.
Next, Xiao Ran thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice:
"Nick, make an appointment with the owner tomorrow and try to take over the apartment building as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares!"
"You told the owner that the price will be based on the market price in the same neighborhood, but I bought it in full, not a loan."
"When signing the real estate transaction contract, I will pay half of the house price first. After completing the transfer procedures, I will pay the balance in one lump sum."
"If the deal is completed within two days, I can pay an additional $5 million in signing fees, but nothing beyond this time."
"With the current depressed market environment, I don't believe he can find another buyer who is so generous."
Before they finished speaking, Nick and the others nodded excitedly.
"Don't worry, Sean, there's no way the owner can refuse such a generous offer."
"For the $5 million signing fee, he won't let this good opportunity pass."
"We will try to take over the apartment building tomorrow, just wait for the good news."
Xiao Ran looked at these two guys and then threw a heavy sugar-coated bomb.
"I hope you can successfully take over the apartment building tomorrow. If you complete this task, each of you will receive a reward of 500,000 US dollars."
"If Friedrich's treasure is really deep underground in that apartment building, all the guys who participated in this exploration will receive a heavy reward."
Before he finished speaking, Nick and the others jumped up from their chairs as if they were electrocuted.
The faces of these two guys were instantly red with excitement, their eyes were so wide that they almost popped out.
"Did I hear you correctly? Sean, if we complete this task, each of us will get a $500,000 bonus?"
"If we successfully find Friedrich's treasure, we can get a big reward? Is this true or false?"
Mike said excitedly, his voice trembling.
Nick was the same, he was so excited that he started dancing.
Xiao Ran looked at these two guys, nodded and gave a positive answer.
"Of course it's true, you heard me right, and this is just the beginning."
"There will be many more opportunities like this in the future, and you will receive more rewards..."
While they were talking, Nick and the others started cheering.
"Wow! Got rich!"
"Sean, you are so generous!"
While cheering, the two guys opened their arms and were ready to come for a hug.
"Stop it, let's not make it so sensational!"
Xiao Ran quickly raised his hand to stop them.
The next moment, there was a burst of laughter in the study.
The three beauties staying in the living room all looked at the study room curiously, not knowing what was going on in the study room.
After reporting the situation, Nick and the others prepared to leave the study.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
"There will definitely be many media reporters gathering at the entrance of the hotel tomorrow. You must be careful when entering and exiting and keep a low profile as much as possible."
"Now is the critical moment. You must not make any mistakes at this time. I will find a way to attract the attention of those media reporters tomorrow."
"After we leave the hotel, you can go out to do errands and complete your respective tasks."
Nick and the others nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, Sean, we will complete the mission."
With that, the two guys left the suite.
Immediately afterwards, a second group of employees walked into the suite to report the situation.
This group of employees is responsible for the apartment building at the intersection of East 64th Street and Third Avenue.
They have established contact with the owner of the apartment building and made a purchase request.
The owner's life is very difficult now. The company is about to close down and he is in urgent need of large sums of money to continue his life.
When he heard that someone wanted to buy his apartment building, he couldn't refuse, so he immediately agreed as if he had found a life-saving straw.
The price he offered was relatively reasonable, and he didn't ask for excessive prices.
However, he has a requirement, that is, the transaction should be completed as soon as possible, and it is best to pay in full.
And this is exactly what Xiao Ran wants!
Soon, the time came to around 10:30 pm.
After handling everything, Xiao Ran simply arranged the scene and then started the live broadcast.
Compared to the previous evening when I attended the auction, tonight's live broadcast was more than half an hour later.
As a result, as soon as Xiao Ran entered the live broadcast room, everyone asked with concern:
"Xiao Ran, why are you so late today? I thought something had happened to you, so I was worried."
"I'm also a little worried. You discovered so many top-notch works of art today, and you might be targeted by someone."
Xiao Ran smiled and then explained a few words.
"Thank you for your concern. There was no accident on my side. Everything went well."
"There are just a lot of things going on. I have been busy dealing with people from all walks of life since I returned to the hotel. I have just calmed down."
"call!"
Everyone let out a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.
The next moment, Jin Lao's voice came over.
"Xiao Ran, how is the transaction of "Yongle Dadian" going? Is there any chance?"
"We are all eagerly awaiting the good news about your boy!"
Obviously, this old man can't wait.
Not willing to wait even a minute longer, I wish I could see those 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" returned to the motherland right away.
Not only Mr. Jin, but also the other appraisal experts and collectors in the live broadcast room, as well as every fan.
And every Chinese who knows about this is not like this.
Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the early return of those extremely precious national treasure-level ancient books and documents.
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and said proudly:
"About this matter, I can't say too much here to avoid leaking the secret. After all, it hasn't been successful yet!"
"But what I can tell you is that there are already some clues about this matter, and the results will be available within a few days."
Before he finished speaking, cheers immediately erupted in the live broadcast room.
"That's great! Xiao Ran, if you can do this, you'll be so awesome!"
"When you return to Beijing, it will be no problem for my brothers to kowtow to you, and that will bring glory to your face!"
Beixinqiao Daniel Wu said jokingly.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room, and everyone laughed.
Without exception, everyone was excited.
When the laughter subsided, Xiao Ran immediately continued:
"Once a man has made a promise, it will never be followed. I will remember what you said. Don't deny it when the time comes."
"Actually, I had this idea as early as when I was in junior high school, seeing your bad behavior."
"I thought how great it would be if you could kneel down and kowtow to your brother! I never thought that such a day would come."
Following his words, the live broadcast room burst into laughter, and everyone burst into laughter.
After joking for a while, Xiao Ran returned to the topic.
"Let me inform you that I have decided to sell the four pop art works discovered today to two big guys on Wall Street."
"Tomorrow we'll be trading on Wall Street, and those guys are the biggest guys behind the pop art hype."
Xiao Ran didn't actually need to tell everyone about this, but he said it publicly in the live broadcast room.
Of course he had a purpose in doing this.
The intention is to draw everyone's attention to yourself and create enough space for your subordinates to move.
It only takes a day or two for my employees to get everything done.
Purchased the two apartment buildings on 64th Street and the corresponding underground rights.
By the time other people react and discover this, it's too late!
Hearing his words, there was another envious exclamation in the live broadcast room.
Of course, some domestic collectors who are still thinking about those pop art works still feel a little regretful.
Next, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.
"Mr. Jin, could you please help organize a team of experts to provide me with the most professional advice?"
"If I make a deal with the Library of Congress, I will definitely need your help in authenticating the 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian"
How could Mr. Jin and others refuse such a good thing?
"Let go and do the work, Xiao Ran, just leave the appraisal to us."
"We will organize a top expert appraisal team to authenticate those "Yongle Dadian", and there will definitely be no mistakes."
Mr. Jin said categorically, almost beating his chest to assure himself.
"Okay! As long as you say so"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
Next, he said a few more words about trading before ending the topic.
What follows is the auction link that everyone is most concerned about.
