It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Xiao Ran, the president of Yale, and others walked out of the conference room of the School of History.
After some talks, the agreement between the two parties to jointly explore Boston's colonial treasures was successfully reached, but it was not signed immediately.
At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, Feilong Zaitian Exploration Company and the Yale School of History will hold a joint press conference to announce this joint exploration operation.
At this press conference, the two sides will formally sign a joint exploration agreement and prepare to launch joint exploration operations.
Although he did not immediately sign an exploration agreement, Xiao Ran signed a series of exhibition loan agreements with the Yale University Art Museum, as well as several other related contracts.
Through these loan agreements and contracts, he loaned all the antique art found today to the Yale Art Museum for public exhibition.
A special exhibition will be on display at the Yale Art Museum until the end of the Joint Exploration of Boston Colonial Treasures.
In this way, Xiao Ran successfully got rid of the fetters of these antique works of art, and did not have to worry about protecting these treasures, nor did he need to spread his manpower for this.
Storing these top-quality antique artworks in the Yale University Art Museum is basically equivalent to storing them in a vault without worrying about security issues.
He doesn’t have to worry that Yale will embezzle these top-notch antiques. With Yale’s status, it can’t do such a dishonorable thing!
The reputation that Yale has built over hundreds of years is definitely worth more than the value of these top-notch antiques!
After getting rid of this worry, Xiao Ran can explore the colonial treasure hidden in Boston!
After the joint exploration operation is over, he will return to Yale and take away these top antiques.
By then, most of these antique artworks will be sent to Beijing immediately.
The remaining pieces were either sold to Yale or taken to Los Angeles and stored in the company to be slowly disposed of later.
After coming out of the conference room, Xiao Ran and the others did not leave Yale immediately.
Instead, he took those valuable antiques and artworks, went straight to the vault of the Yale Art Museum, and stored all the treasures in the vault.
All these actions were done in front of many media reporters and were not hidden.
Not only that, at the door of the School of History.
Xiao Ran also publicly announced that he would lend these top antique artworks to the Yale Art Museum for a period of time.
He did this for two purposes.
The first is to make this matter public and let everyone know.
Use the power of the media and public opinion to supervise Yale University and prevent them from having any bad intentions.
Even if Yale University covets it, it will still have a lot of worries about damaging Yale's reputation!
Another purpose is to tell everyone.
These top-notch antique artworks worth hundreds of millions of dollars are no longer in their hands.
If someone is interested in these antique works of art, they don’t need to come after you. They should rob the Yale Art Museum vault!
In this way, it will undoubtedly dispel the covetousness of many people and make those guys give up!
In fact, the effect was just as Xiao Ran expected.
When he announced the news publicly, all the senior leaders of Yale University standing aside felt itchy at the base of their teeth, but there was nothing they could do!
After the news spread quickly, many guys who were hiding in the dark and keeping a close eye on these antique works of art became even more angry and cursed!
But cursing doesn't do anything, it doesn't help at all!
In desperation, some of them had no choice but to give up their dreams.
Of course, there are also some idiots who are stubborn and ready to take risks!
After entering the Yale Art Museum vault with many top-notch antiques, Xiao Ran did not leave immediately.
Under his supervision, some professionals from the museum re-pinned several paintings to drawing boards and installed them in frames with the same style.
After finishing this work, Xiao Ran and the others just left the Yale Art Museum and returned to the hotel.
…
As we spoke, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.
After dinner, Xiao Ran, Elaine and the others sat on the sofa in the living room, laughing and chatting while watching the TV news.
What was reported on the news was his discovery of top-notch antiques in New Haven.
Scenes of him being interviewed by reporters in front of Bryan Antiques Store and in front of the Yale School of History also appeared in news reports.
And this is exactly what Xiao Ran wants to see.
Through numerous media reports, everyone will know.
These valuable top-notch antiques all belong to him, and their sources are legal, no doubt about it!
From today on, as long as he does not take the initiative to trade, it will be illegal and shady for any person or organization to obtain these top antique cultural relics in the future!
In the antique art market, naturally it cannot be circulated and traded legally!
Seeing this news, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
At this moment, Sam's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"Sean, Christopher and the others are here. They will be in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel."
After hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Copy that, let the guys check those guys. They can't carry any weapons or eavesdropping equipment."
"The relationship between the Skull and Bones Society and the CIA has always been very close. Those guys can get all kinds of sophisticated equipment."
"After the security check, take those guys to the small conference room on the top floor. David and I will be there in ten minutes."
As soon as the words fell, Sam responded immediately.
"Okay, Sean, leave it to us."
After ending the call, Xiao Ran notified David again and asked him to prepare.
Immediately afterwards, he got up and walked into the bedroom to get ready.
Seven or eight minutes later.
He just left the suite and walked to the small conference room on the top floor with David.
Arriving at the door of the conference room, Marvin stood at the door and immediately greeted him.
Coming closer, this guy whispered:
"Christopher and those guys are in the conference room. There are three people here. I have met them all before."
"As expected, these guys are carrying bugs, and they are advanced equipment used by agents. They are probably from the CIA."
Xiao Ran nodded, then smiled and said:
"Unexpectedly, the CIA has maintained close contact with the Skull and Bones Society from the day it was founded."
"A considerable number of Skull and Bones members who graduate from Yale University every year join the CIA."
"In this case, it would be easy for guys like the Skull and Bones Society to get some advanced monitoring and listening equipment."
After a few chats, Xiao Ran took David into the conference room.
Seeing them coming in, Christopher and others, who were discussing something in low voices, immediately stood up.
"Good evening, Sean. I heard that you discovered a lot of top-notch antiques of amazing value today. Congratulations!"
Christopher nodded and said hello, his eyes full of envy.
Xiao Ran looked at these three guys, then smiled and said hello to them.
"Good evening guys, nice to see you again"
"I did make some surprising discoveries today, which means I was lucky."
After a few polite words, the two parties sat down on both sides of the conference table.
For confidentiality reasons, Xiao Ran asked Sam to leave the conference room.
When the conference room door closed again, Christopher got to the point.
"Sean, after discussion, we decided to ask you to help us explore the tomb where our society is located to find those long-lost sacred objects."
"According to your request, from yesterday to today, we have notified all living society members and past presidents, and obtained everyone's unanimous consent."
"That is to say, if you take people into the tomb to explore, no matter whether you find anything or not, no one will cause you any trouble afterwards. Don't worry about that!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded gently.
"It seems that you have done a lot of work, which is very good. I can rest assured, but this is only a prerequisite for cooperation."
Christopher nodded to express his understanding and continued:
"We fully accept the cooperation conditions you proposed before. Our society can promise that we will do our best to help you in the United States."
"No matter what kind of trouble you encounter, even if it's murder or arson, just say hello and we will mobilize all our strength to help you solve the trouble!"
"In addition, our club can promise to give you a future admission quota to Yale University and a future membership quota to join the club."
"The person who joins our society in the future must be born in the United States, must have Anglo-Saxon ancestry, and have a blood relationship with a wealthy family in the east..."
Before he finished speaking, David, who was sitting aside, had a look of ecstasy on his face.
He knew in his heart that as long as this cooperation was achieved, his son would have a ladder to heaven.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at Xiao Ran gratefully and nodded lightly.
