The document on the desk had the logo and words of the U.S. Department of the Treasury clearly printed on the cover. .

The title on the first page of the document is clearly 'Indo-Pacific Strategic Plan and Indo-Pacific Economic Framework'.

The date marked under the title is September 25, 2020.

In addition, the front page of the document is marked with the words "Highly Confidential" to indicate its confidentiality level.

Obviously, this is a heavyweight document that has just been released, and the confidentiality level is very high!

As one of the most important and largest investment banks in the United States, it is normal for this document to appear at the headquarters of Goldman Sachs.

However, Xiao Ran had only heard about the Indo-Pacific strategy before, but not any specific policy.

The same goes for the Indo-Pacific economic framework, which remains only in words.

The appearance of this document on the desk shows that the Americans have begun to implement the so-called Indo-Pacific strategy.

The top investment institutions in the United States also followed suit and began to look for investment opportunities.

For China, if it can grasp the relevant content of this so-called Indo-Pacific strategy earlier, it can formulate response strategies earlier.

The reason is very simple. This so-called Indo-Pacific strategy is aimed at the Belt and Road Initiative.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had thoroughly seen through the document.

Although he didn't remember much, he did see some very sensitive words.

The next moment, he looked away and looked elsewhere.

Now is not the time to memorize this document. Staring at one place for a long time will inevitably attract questioning eyes.

There will be plenty of opportunity and time to write down all the important information in this document.

Then find a way to get this information to the relevant personnel, and you're done.

After chatting for a few words, everyone got down to business.

"Sean, please take out these pop art works and let us enjoy them!"

"There is no problem with the appraisal. We are very happy to purchase these paintings at the price you agreed with Griffin."

Steve said with a smile.

"Of course there is no problem. We will take out these paintings immediately for everyone to enjoy."

With that said, Xiao Ran nodded to the two employees who followed him.

The two guys understood instantly and took action immediately.

In a moment, four pop art works were taken out of the painting bag and placed on the easels that had been prepared.

As soon as they saw these four paintings, Griffin and Steve nodded in unison and exchanged quick glances.

Obviously, they had seen these four paintings in Brown's place and knew their authenticity and value.

Even so, they stood up and started to admire the four paintings with great interest.

Several antique art appraisal experts they brought also stepped forward one after another to start the appraisal work.

Xiao Ran was sitting on the chair leisurely, drinking tea and chatting sideways with the three beauties.

However, his eyes instantly penetrated the wall, staring at the heavyweight document he had discovered before, silently memorizing the contents of the document.

Since Elaine and Swift were sitting on this side, they were just within sight.

In the process of looking through that document, he also enjoyed a lot of benefits, a feast for the eyes!

Forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The conference room door opened again, and Xiao Ran and the others came out of the conference room and prepared to leave Goldman Sachs Bank.

At this time, the four pop art works had changed owners and were acquired by Griffin and Steve, two for each of them.

Xiao Ran had nothing in his hands, but a huge amount of nearly 300 million US dollars in his bank account.

Coming outside the conference room, the vice president of Goldman Sachs said politely:

"Sean, I wonder if you are interested in visiting our Goldman Sachs bank?"

"You are now our top VIP customer. If you are interested, I can show you around."

Just now, Xiao Ran opened a top-level Goldman Sachs investment account on the spot.

The nearly US$300 million in transaction fees paid by Griffin and Steve were all deposited into this investment account and handed over to Goldman Sachs for investment.

With this huge sum of US$300 million, Xiao Ran became Goldman Sachs' top VIP client in one fell swoop.

The reason why he did this was not only to spread risks, but also for another purpose.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone!

Once his personal wealth reaches his level, it is no longer possible to be a lone ranger!

That would only increase the risk of being harvested.

For example, the US government may freeze your account or even confiscate all your property under certain pretexts.

Spreading the wealth in your hands, establishing contacts with more super-rich people and financial institutions, and establishing business relationships will undoubtedly increase the safety factor.

Not only him, Elaine and Swift also wanted to invest together.

At other times, they would not have access to this kind of top VIP treatment.

Now that they encounter such a good opportunity, they naturally don't want to miss it.

Following Xiao Ran, they each also set up an investment account.

Of course, their initial investment was only a few million dollars each.

To a certain extent, their investment accounts are all sub-accounts of Xiao Ran's investment account.

Even the investment manager responsible for taking care of it is the same person.

Faced with the invitation from the vice president of Goldman Sachs, Xiao Ran chose to refuse.

"I'm very sorry, Paul, I have a lot to do today and I don't have time to visit your Goldman Sachs bank."

"When I get the chance next time, I will definitely pay a visit here. I have been admiring Goldman Sachs for a long time and would like to learn more about it."

"Thomas, the director of the Metropolitan Museum, and several gentlemen from the Library of Congress will be arriving at the hotel later."

"I made an appointment with them on a meeting time. I don't want to miss the appointment or be late. Next, I have to meet a few friends."

Hearing this, Paul could only nod.

"Well, Sean, since you are so busy, I won't keep you anymore."

"When you have time later, Goldman Sachs Bank welcomes you to visit at any time."

Next, Xiao Ran bumped elbows with Griffin and Steve again, then said goodbye and left.

Paul walked them downstairs and out of Goldman Sachs headquarters.

Seeing his leaving figure, Steve and Griffin, who were standing at the door of the conference room, couldn't help but be stunned.

After a while, Steve said with emotion:

"Sure enough, it's just like the legend, even more exaggerated than the legend! This is a magical boy with incredible luck!"

"And this kid's abilities are also very good. It seems that the rumor is absolutely correct. God is standing behind this kid."

"Who says it's not the case? I've never seen such a magical guy in my life!"

Griffin continued, nodding in agreement.

After a few words of emotion, the two Wall Street tycoons turned around and walked into the conference room.

Soon, they left here with their respective harvests and went back to their respective homes.

About half an hour later, Xiao Ran and the others returned to the Plaza Hotel successfully.

Several groups of company employees responsible for acquiring apartment buildings and underground rights had already left the hotel and went about their own business.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Xiao Ran received good news.

The group acquiring the apartment building at 64th Street and Third Avenue has reached an agreement with the owner.

The two parties are discussing the details of the transaction and are expected to reach an agreement soon and then sign the real estate transaction contract.

Xiao Ran was naturally very excited after receiving the news.

On the phone, he encouraged his two employees.

Ask them to send back the finalized contract for David to review it one last time.

After making sure that there are no problems with the contract, you can sign it.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran told David a few words before going to wash and disinfect.

Immediately afterwards, he walked into the study again, closed the door, and was busy with something alone in the study.

After about five or six minutes, he came out of the study.

Then he walked into the living room and sat down to laugh and chat with Elaine and the others.

Elaine and the others didn't ask much about what he did in the study just now, and just pretended that it never happened.

After chatting for a while, Sam suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.

Also coming in with him were Counselor Wang from the Consulate General in New York, two people in total.

Counselor Wang and the others were invited and prepared to participate in the next important meeting.

Seeing Counselor Wang and the others entering, Xiao Ran immediately stood up and greeted them.

He was very enthusiastic and shook hands with Counselor Wang uncharacteristically.

"Good afternoon, Uncle Wang, you are welcome to come over. The Director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Director of the Library of Congress will arrive soon."

Counselor Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded in admiration and said:

"Xiao Ran, you have a lot of energy, and you are very powerful."

"I didn't expect you to take action so quickly, and you have some clues, which is admirable!"

Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless.

"Don't move too fast! I'm afraid of long nights and lots of dreams!"

After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran led Counselor Wang and the others towards the living room.

The moment he turned around, a small digital memory card slipped out of his hand and slipped silently into Counselor Wang's suit pocket.

Neither Counselor Wang nor anyone else in the room saw this scene.

Only Xiao Ran had a flash of smile in his eyes.
