In the conference room.
Xiao Ran and the others sat on one side of the conference table and looked at the three CIA agents opposite.
At the same time, the senior agent in his forties opposite looked at them curiously.
Especially Xiao Ran's youth shocked this guy.
His wealth of more than 10 billion US dollars makes this guy almost crazy with envy and jealousy.
For safety reasons, Xiao Ran asked his men to set up their mobile phones at the other end of the conference table and record the video of the scene as evidence.
If the talks are fruitless and the deal falls through, the relevant videos will be deleted immediately.
If an agreement is reached and the transaction is confirmed, this video will be retained and left in Xiao Ran's hands.
This is his way of protecting himself, lest these grandsons of the CIA turn their backs and turn around to cause trouble.
After introducing each other and saying a few polite words, everyone immediately got down to business.
"Mr. Turner, I heard that you want to negotiate a deal with me. I would like to know the contents of this deal."
"Before the talks begin, I would like to emphasize one point to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Feilong Zaitian Exploration Company is a law-abiding and honest company that pays taxes. This can be found at the IRS."
"In view of this, every transaction our company makes is legal and must be legal!"
"Under this general premise, I am willing to do business with any individual or company and achieve a mutually satisfactory result."
Xiao Ran said with a smile, clearly showing his attitude.
This is also to prevent problems before they happen, to prevent guys like the CIA from fishing for law enforcement and digging holes for themselves to jump into.
Hearing these words, the three CIA agents opposite were stunned for a moment, and a look of fear flashed in their eyes.
After thinking for a moment, the leader named Turner said:
"Mr. Sean, I understand what you mean. Next, I will introduce you to the contents of this transaction."
"Whether you want to trade or not is up to you, but I believe you will be interested!"
Xiao Ran nodded slightly.
"I'm all ears, I'd like to know more."
Next, Turner began to introduce the situation.
"As far as we know, you have been committed to acquiring and collecting top-notch Chinese antique artworks scattered across the United States."
"In order to get those antiques, you are willing to pay a high price or exchange them for valuable Western antiques."
"Some time ago, you exchanged many top-notch Chinese antiques from the Library of Congress and the Metropolitan Museum of Art and sent them back to Beijing."
"As far as I know, you have two huge personal exhibition halls in two of the top museums in Beijing. They are being renovated and will be opened soon."
"At this time, you need a lot of heavyweight Chinese antiques and artworks to enrich your personal exhibition hall and future private museum."
Xiao Ran did not deny it, but nodded in surprise.
"It seems that your intelligence work is very good. You are worthy of being a famous CIA agent."
"Yes, I do have two top-notch personal exhibition halls in Beijing, and I am also planning to build a private museum."
"In order to enrich the exhibition hall and museum, I must acquire many top-notch Chinese antiques and art. This is also true."
While saying this, he also secretly increased his vigilance.
It seems that confidentiality work must be strengthened, otherwise big problems will occur sooner or later.
After a pause, Turner continued:
"This is why we came to you. I believe we can reach cooperation."
"By chance, we discovered a very good batch of top-notch Chinese antique artworks"
"Given our sensitive identities, we cannot openly sell such things. It will have a very bad impact and cause a lot of trouble."
"So we want to package and sell these Chinese antiques to you. We can sit down and discuss the price, but it must be kept strictly confidential!"
by chance? Stop talking nonsense!
Xiao Ran almost laughed angrily, and finally managed to hold it back!
David and Sam, who were sitting aside, had a look of contempt flashing in their eyes at the same time.
All three of them knew where the Chinese antiques and artworks in the hands of these CIA agents came from.
Do you still need to ask? These scum apparently ransacked the Chinese antique dealer's home!
What fell into their hands must not only be this batch of smuggled Chinese antiques, but also all the goods in that antique shop!
Although he knew it well, Xiao Ran didn't intend to point it out.
He has no sympathy at all for the Chinese antique dealer who smuggled antiques and artworks into the United States and cooperated with others to plot against him!
Not only that, he also personally killed that scumbag who had forgotten his ancestors, and reduced his bones to ashes.
Now these CIA scumbags came to the door again with the batch of Chinese antiques and art, ready to negotiate a deal with them.
If the quality of this batch of Chinese antiques is indeed excellent, Xiao Ran will still consider acquiring it.
Of course, this must be done under the premise of ensuring your own safety.
He doesn't want to be fished out and thrown into jail!
Once you are thrown into prison, it will be extremely difficult to get out!
Even if you escape from prison, you will have no choice but to hide in Tibet from now on.
Next, Turner briefly introduced the situation of this batch of Chinese antique artworks.
Because he is a complete outsider, his introduction is very general.
He only talked about the quantity, type and shape of the antique artworks, but he couldn't tell what those treasures were, let alone their value.
Even so, Xiao Ran was still shocked when listening to his introduction, and he was very excited inside, but he just didn't show it.
Through Turner's introduction, he came to a conclusion in a blink of an eye.
These smuggled Chinese antiques and artworks are all unearthed cultural relics.
It was probably from several large tombs of different dynasties. The tomb robbers secretly dug it out from the ground, brought it to the United States, and then reappeared in front of their own eyes.
The Chinese antique dealer who was killed by him was probably closely connected with the tomb robbers in China, or was connected through some brokers.
It's a pity that the guy has been blown to pieces, and there is basically no way to follow this clue.
In this case, it is difficult to follow the clues and dig out those grave robbers hiding in the country!
Although he knew the hope was slim, Xiao Ran still wanted to give it a try. Maybe there would be a miracle!
After Turner finished his introduction, he pretended to think for a while, then nodded and said:
"It is undeniable that the Chinese antiques you mentioned are indeed very attractive and moved me."
"But your introduction is too general, and there is no judgment or conclusion on the authenticity and value of these things."
"In this case, I can't make a judgment at all, and I can't decide whether to trade with you."
"If possible, I would like to see photos of these antique artworks. It would be great if I could see the actual objects."
Before he finished speaking, Turner nodded and gave the answer.
"Today we come with great sincerity and hope to reach this art transaction with you."
"We are all non-professionals, we know this very well"
"So we took a lot of high-definition photos and videos, and also brought two physical objects over."
"You can take a look at these pictures and objects, and I believe you can make an accurate judgment."
“They’re in the backpack outside, ready to be brought in and displayed!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately looked towards the door.
"Since you took high-definition pictures and videos and brought two real objects, I really want to open my eyes."
"You can show it to me and see the pictures and objects before I decide whether to buy this batch of Chinese antiques!"
Without exception, the three CIA agents all had a look of surprise in their eyes.
The next moment, Turner nodded hurriedly and said:
"No problem Sean, we can show it right now"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and gave some instructions to another agent.
The guy immediately got up and went outside to get the computer and the two antique works of art.
Xiao Ran had secretly turned on his clairvoyance and was keeping a close eye on the guy who walked out of the conference room to prevent him from doing anything wrong.
Perhaps they are eager to make a fortune, but these guys are relatively honest and don't play any tricks.
In a moment, the CIA agent had returned to the conference room, holding an iPad and two wooden boxes in his hand.
The two mahogany boxes looked like they were from China. They were carved with cloud brocade patterns, but they were modern machine-carved ones.
However, Xiao Ran was amazed by the beautiful colors and light emitted by the two antique works of art contained in the box.
Returning to sit down at the conference table, the guy immediately handed the two boxes to Turner.
Immediately afterwards, Turner looked at Xiao Ran and said expectantly:
"Mr. Sean, should you open these two boxes, or should I open them?"
"If the deal is concluded today, we are willing to give you the antique artworks in these two wooden boxes!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, reaching out to make a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Turner, but it's a little too early to tell."
"It's up to you to open these two wooden boxes and take out the treasures inside. I'm very much looking forward to seeing them!"
"Okay, Mr. Sean"
Turner nodded in response, and then opened two mahogany boxes.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the things in the box one after another and gently placed them on the table.
What appeared in front of everyone was an exquisite Bafang cup and a dark red jade with a diameter of about 20 centimeters!
The moment he saw these two treasures, Xiao Ran secretly exclaimed in ecstasy.
"The Ge Kiln Bafang Cup with its purple mouth and iron feet and golden iron wire; the Warring States Period jade covered with blood, are all national treasures!"
