The appraisal lasted for more than half an hour and just ended.
Xiao Ran took the 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" one by one in front of the high-definition camera and showed them all.
He only randomly displayed part of the content in each ancient book, but did not fully display it.
The contents recorded in these ancient books are too important to be fully displayed.
The appraisal team staying in the Forbidden City intercepted these pictures and videos of the "Yongle Dadian" and conducted careful research and appraisal.
These are all written materials, and they come from various ancient Chinese classics, so it is difficult to fake them.
Needless to say, the appraisal results show that all 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" are authentic, and each volume is a priceless treasure.
This appraisal result was already expected by Xiao Ran, so he acted fairly calmly.
However, all the Chinese people who are paying attention to this heavyweight art transaction cannot calm down!
Especially the experts and scholars responsible for the appraisal were all so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and even became a little incoherent.
Many fans in the two live broadcast rooms screamed and exclaimed excitedly.
Several heavyweights who were paying close attention to this transaction were also very excited and admired Xiao Ranze more and more.
As for many domestic news media, they have already started reporting before the identification work is completed, and they are all on the front page.
As various media outlets rushed to report on it, the incident quickly spread and reached the ears of more people.
Without exception, every Chinese who heard the news was very excited.
In addition to being excited, everyone was full of curiosity and admiration for Xiao Ran.
In the Metropolitan Museum.
After getting the definite identification conclusion, Xiao Ran discussed in a low voice with Consul Zhao and others, and then looked at Jonathan and others opposite.
At this time, these Americans have also completed their identification.
There is no doubt that the triptych "Dante's Ark" is an authentic work by Delacroix, a pioneering work of romanticism.
After getting this identification conclusion, several Americans were very excited.
Especially everyone at the Metropolitan Museum headed by Thomas.
His eyes were shining brightly, and he was staring at these three top oil paintings, unwilling to look away for a moment.
They wanted to snatch these three oil paintings immediately and make them their own.
Also full of greed is the crazy old woman's henchman.
As soon as the identification results came out, the guy informed the crazy old woman of the news.
On the phone, he apparently got some instructions.
After hanging up the phone, he kept staring at the three oil paintings, and the greed in his eyes could not be concealed at all.
Xiao Ran glanced at the Americans across from him, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Jonathan, Thomas, we have completed preliminary identification and can basically confirm that these 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" are authentic."
"I believe you have reached the same conclusion. In this case, I think we can proceed with the transaction."
After hearing this, several Americans suddenly beamed with joy.
Jonathan and Thomas looked at each other, then nodded in unison.
"Sean, these three paintings of "Dante's Ark" are indeed authentic and are outstanding works by the master of art Delacroix."
"Since there is no problem with the transaction targets of both of us, let's start the transaction!"
"Okay, gentlemen"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
Before he finished speaking, David opened his briefcase, took out the contract that had been drawn up, and handed it to Jonathan and his lawyer.
All terms of this art transaction contract have been discussed by both parties in advance and reached consensus without any disagreement.
After receiving the contract, Jonathan and his lawyer quickly flipped through it.
After confirming that there are no problems, start signing immediately.
Xiao Ran and David also signed their names on the contract.
Then the two parties exchanged contracts and signed their names on the contract again.
Another exchange followed and the signatures were checked.
After confirming that it was correct, Xiao Ran smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Jonathan, I am very happy to cooperate with you. This is a win-win deal."
Jonathan nodded, smiled and shook his hand.
"Sean, we are also very happy to cooperate with you. Congratulations on getting these 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian""
The moment the two parties shook hands and completed this heavyweight art transaction, the two live broadcast rooms exploded in an instant.
"I got it! Xiao Ran, you are so awesome, I will kneel down for you!"
Daniel Wu of Beixinqiao cheered at the top of his lungs.
"Forty volumes of "Yongle Dadian"! Xiao Ran really got it. It's like a dream!"
"Xiao Ran is really awesome this time. When he returns to China, he will be fine even if he walks sideways!"
Long Tengyue said excitedly.
Forbidden City.
A brightly lit conference room was filled with cheers.
Many top appraisal experts, historians, and other relevant people gathered here, everyone cheered and celebrated, and everyone danced with joy.
Some of the old men were even moved to tears.
"Okay! Great! Xiao Ran is such a good boy!"
"I will join this guy's live broadcast room later to see how many more miracles he can create and how many good things he can get back."
The curator of the Palace Museum said with admiration.
Not only him, but also the appraisal experts around him thought so.
It is conceivable that after tonight, many top appraisal experts will be added to Xiao Ran's two live broadcast rooms to provide him with professional appraisal opinions.
As for the collectors, wealthy people, and ordinary fans who want to join the live broadcast room, there must be countless, as many as crucian carp crossing the river!
Near the West Second Ring Road, Xiao Ran's parents' home.
At this time, the lights were brightly lit and there was laughter and laughter.
Grandparents, grandparents, parents, and sister-in-law.
Everyone was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching the live broadcast on the big screen.
The moment Xiao Ran and Jonathan shook hands, everyone in the family cheered.
While cheering and celebrating, my mother had already burst into tears, all of which were tears of excitement.
The eyes of my father and sister-in-law were also wet, and they were all full of pride.
"Xiao Ran really exchanged 40 copies of "Yongle Dadian". This is definitely a great achievement! This guy is so awesome!"
My sister-in-law said excitedly.
Several little guys in the living room were even more excited, shouting and jumping, and almost lifted the roof off.
Fortunately, I had already said hello to the neighbors before, otherwise I would have been complained about disturbing the residents.
But how did the family know that Xiao Ran's contribution was not limited to this one thing.
And those who have greater credit cannot tell anyone, including family members!
When the cheers subsided, the grandfather sitting on the sofa suddenly said:
"Go get a few bottles of 1982 special yellow sauce Maotai, let's have a good celebration."
Hearing this, the eyes of grandpa sitting aside suddenly became brighter.
A few days ago, he also received two boxes of the 1982 special yellow sauce Maotai, but he couldn't bear to drink it.
A few weeks passed and I only drank one bottle.
Now that I heard that I can have a drink, I was naturally very excited.
New York, Metropolitan Museum.
After the transaction was completed, Xiao Ran had put the 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" into the four portable safes he brought.
The reason why I used the portable safe I brought instead of using the one provided by the Library of Congress was naturally for safety reasons.
When installing those "Yongle Dadian", Xiao Ran was extremely cautious, fearing that something would go wrong.
In the blink of an eye, he had put all the "Yongle Dadian" into the safe and set the password.
Then, he looked at Consul Zhao and Counselor Wang standing aside.
"Consul Zhao, you can take over these "Yongle Ceremony"
"Next, I will take people to escort these priceless treasures to the airport to ensure their safety."
Before he finished speaking, Consul Zhao and the others stepped forward.
Coming closer, Consul Zhao immediately shook hands with Xiao Ran.
"Don't worry, Xiao Ran, you did it perfectly, let's see what happens next!"
"We will definitely send these priceless treasures back to China safely and complete our mission!"
As he spoke, he gently patted the back of Xiao Ran's hand twice.
At the same time, Counselor Wang, who was standing aside, nodded slightly.
Seeing their actions, Xiao Ran understood instantly.
To ensure the safety of these priceless treasures, the Consulate General in New York has made comprehensive arrangements.
The Air China cargo plane parked at JFK International Airport may be just a cover.
A smile flashed quickly in Xiao Ran's eyes, and it was fleeting.
Next, he and Consul Zhao signed a commission agreement on the spot.
The content of the agreement is very simple, which is to entrust the New York Consulate General to send people to send these priceless treasures back to the country.
After the agreement was signed, Consul Zhao personally affixed the diplomatic parcel logo on the outside of the four portable safes.
After doing this, Xiao Ran said goodbye to Jonathan, Thomas and the others, and left the Metropolitan Museum with them.
When leaving here, they still evacuated from the air by helicopter.
Seeing this scene, those who hurriedly rushed to the museum could only look up to the sky and sigh, but there was nothing they could do.
After flying out of the Metropolitan Museum, Xiao Ran and the others did not rush to JFK Airport immediately, but went to the Consulate General in New York.
In less than ten minutes, the helicopter carrying 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" landed safely on the roof of the Consulate General in New York.
As for another medium-sized helicopter, it was hovering in the air.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran and Consul Zhao got off the helicopter carrying four portable safes and went straight into the Consulate General building.
About fifteen minutes later, they came out of the building and boarded the medium helicopter again.
The helicopter then roared into the air, merged with another helicopter in the sky, and flew toward JFK International Airport.
At the same time, the escort convoy parked outside the Consulate General immediately followed and headed straight to JFK International Airport.
Those guys who were staring at Xiao Ran also followed him.
After another ten minutes, six cars suddenly drove out of the Consulate General in New York.
As soon as they hit the street, the six cars went their separate ways.
They drove in different directions and soon disappeared into the rolling traffic.
