Old Henry and the others left the apartment building in frustration, but did not leave here.
They got into a car parked on the street and waited to see the treasure buried deep beneath the apartment building turn out.
Obviously, they are still unwilling, but there is nothing they can do.
Under Nick's and others' persuasion, the tenants living in the apartment building accepted the preferential terms offered by Xiao Ran.
They simply packed some luggage, locked the door of their home, and moved to the Plaza Hotel not far away, where they stayed in luxurious suites.
After settling down in the Plaza Hotel, most of them returned here and stood on the street watching the excitement.
In the apartment building, Xiao Ran was making various preparations.
The basement is full of people of our own, so there is no need to make any cover-ups.
He took Elaine and David into the billiard room and checked the situation here.
Then he pointed to the two pool tables in the room and gave the order.
"Guys, take these two pool tables out and stand them in the corridor outside."
"Put a layer of plastic sheeting on the ground to protect it and save you the trouble of going back and scrubbing it."
"Then bring in all the demolition and excavation tools and prepare to dig out the treasure."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene shone with excitement.
Everyone immediately understood that the unknown huge treasure was buried deep underground in the billiard room.
"Okay, Sean."
Several company employees responded in unison and took action immediately.
The others looked curiously at the luxurious basement, trying to discover something.
Unfortunately, they found nothing.
"Sean, the Friedrich treasure is buried under this basement?"
Elaine asked curiously.
Following her words, everyone looked at Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded slightly.
"Yes, according to the instructions on the treasure map, the treasure is buried deep underground in this billiard room."
"Combined with the layout of this basement, I have determined the location of the secret passage entrance when I inspected this place before."
"Wow! That's great!"
There was a roar of cheers and everyone became more excited.
After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran took David, Elaine and the others out of here and returned to the rest area.
After returning to the rest area, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Sam, can Counselor Wang and the Deputy Mayor of New York come in?"
"Considering that there may be unknown dangers here, the number of people coming in must be limited. Each party cannot exceed three people at most."
"Representatives and lawyers from the New York City Subway Company can also let them in, but they must undergo security checks."
As soon as the words fell, Sam responded immediately.
"Copy that, Sean, leave it to us."
Outside the apartment building.
More and more people gathered here to watch the excitement, and the entire street was almost completely blocked.
Fortunately, the police were well prepared and set up a cordon early to stop people outside the cordon.
Only people and vehicles with permission are allowed near the building's third entry door.
While watching the excitement, people were also talking animatedly.
"That lucky bastard Sean has created such a big battle, so it can be seen that the treasure hidden in this apartment building must be very amazing!"
"I wonder what is hidden in this treasure and who buried it? It's so curious!"
Just as people were talking about it, Sam, who was guarding the door, suddenly walked towards Counselor Wang and the others.
When he came closer, he whispered a few words to Counselor Wang, and then made a gesture of invitation.
Immediately afterwards, Counselor Wang and an entourage walked through the cordon and entered the luxury apartment building.
Immediately afterwards, the deputy mayor of New York, Thomas and others also received invitations and walked into the door of the apartment building.
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood.
Excavation and cleanup of the treasure hidden in the apartment building will soon begin.
After confirming this, the scene suddenly became more lively.
Even though this treasure has nothing to do with them, they can't get anything in the treasure, and people are still excited about it.
Many media reporters gathered at the door of the apartment building began to broadcast live.
People who are watching the live broadcast are also very excited, looking forward to the emergence of this treasure.
And in many places in New York City and many other places in the United States.
There are many people and many pairs of eyes paying close attention to the situation here and staring at this treasure.
Inside an apartment building.
Under the leadership of an employee, Counselor Wang and the others walked into the basement first.
Entering the basement, Counselor Wang quickly scanned the situation here, and then greeted Xiao Ran with a smile.
"Good morning, Xiao Ran, it seems that another treasure you have is in this basement."
"Good morning, Uncle Wang, yes, that treasure is buried deep underground."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and lightly stomped the ground.
After chatting for a few words, he suddenly whispered:
"Uncle Wang, the 40 volumes of "Yongle Dadian" have been received and sent to the National Library."
"Did those idiots in Canada get the message? How did they react?"
Counselor Wang smiled and shook his head.
"It is night in the country, and the transportation and reception work has been carried out secretly, and the news has not leaked."
"Canada has not received any news and has not taken any special actions."
"This is just right. The embassy in Canada will issue another protest statement today to see how Canadians will react."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly smiled even more happily.
"In this case, I will continue to cooperate with the acting and will not announce the arrival of "Yongle Dadian" in the live broadcast room for the time being."
"Those fans in the live broadcast room can only worry for a while longer."
They spoke Mandarin and kept their voices low, not worried about leaking secrets.
Several Chinese employees, including Fang Yufei, were several meters away and could not hear the conversation between them.
While he was talking, the deputy mayor of New York and his entourage walked into the basement.
Unlike yesterday, this senior New York official brought a lawyer with him today, obviously well prepared.
Seeing them, Xiao Ran immediately stopped talking and took David to greet them.
After a few polite words, the New York deputy mayor immediately got down to business.
"Sean, judging from the situation at the scene, the treasure you have is obviously buried deep underground."
"According to professionals, deep underground on 64th Street is an abandoned subway."
"This subway is not completely scrapped. It is considered a backup line and serves as an air raid shelter."
"If you are digging for treasures here, will it affect the safety of this abandoned subway?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"
Obviously, the deputy mayor has done some homework in advance.
As the deputy mayor of New York, of course he wants to prevent Xiao Ran from digging up this treasure and then seizing this unknown treasure, but he can't do it too obviously!
Xiao Ran did not answer the question, but smiled and nodded at David.
David understood instantly, and then stepped forward to explain a few words.
"Mr. Mayor, we have already figured out that there is an abandoned subway deep under 64th Street."
"We are also very aware of the role played by this abandoned subway."
"The treasure we are going to excavate is not in the abandoned subway and will not cause any damage to the abandoned subway."
"When purchasing the underground rights before, the New York Subway Company made a rule that no construction could be done within five meters on the left and right sides of the abandoned subway."
"On this point, don't worry, we will strictly abide by the regulations and will never violate them!"
"ah!"
The deputy mayor of New York exclaimed and froze on the spot with a slightly embarrassed expression!
Then, he cursed secretly.
"These cunning bastards are so damn well prepared and so damn hard to deal with!"
"And those bastards on the New York City Subway are just a bunch of idiots!"
Looking at the smiling Xiao Ran, the deputy mayor of New York suddenly felt like a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to bite, not to mention how uncomfortable it was!
Following the deputy mayor of New York, Thomas, the general managers of the three major auction houses, and several other professionals also entered the basement one after another.
Without exception, these guys are very excited and full of anticipation.
They wished they could go out in person and roll up their sleeves to participate in the excavation of this treasure.
After entering the basement, they immediately approached Xiao Ran and asked him about the treasure, where it was buried, what was hidden inside, and so on.
Xiao Ran only explained that the entrance to the secret passage was over the billiards room, and did not reveal any other information.
As for the name of this treasure, it cannot be revealed.
Once it is known to the outside world that this treasure was buried by Friedrich, it is likely to arouse some people's vigilance!
The last ones to enter the basement were three guys representing the New York Subway Company.
Among them were a New York subway executive, an engineer, and a lawyer in a suit.
These three guys came prepared. The engineer brought a painting tube with him.
What was contained in the painting tube was the route map of the abandoned subway deep underground. It probably took an entire night to find it.
However, when they knew that the entrance to the secret passage was over the billiards room, their faces suddenly darkened.
Before coming here, they had carefully studied the structural layout of this apartment building and compared it with the abandoned subway deep underground.
They knew clearly that the apartment building was just five meters away on the north side of the abandoned subway, and that the billiard room was located even further!
In other words, they have no reason to prevent the excavation operation from starting!
