Twenty minutes later, in the lobby on the first floor of the Yale School of History.
The media reporters who had gathered outside the building have entered here and are waiting for the joint press conference to begin.
Also present were many students from the Yale School of History.
These guys were scattered around the temporary venue, waiting in high spirits and talking in low voices.
"I wonder where this colonial treasure is and what is hidden in it? It might be a very amazing discovery."
"It would be great if I could participate in this joint exploration operation. I wonder if there is a chance? I'm going to go find Professor Baker later and try to get it."
"Forget it! Professor Baker's students and many doctoral students can divide up all the places."
Just when everyone was talking about it, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
The next moment, everyone will see it.
Xiao Ran and David, as well as Professor Baker and a professor from Yale Law School, came out of the elevator and walked straight to the temporarily arranged signing venue.
Following closely behind were Elaine and the others, as well as the Dean of the Yale School of History and others.
Seeing this scene, the scene immediately started a commotion.
"Look, Sean and the others are coming, the mystery will be revealed soon."
Everyone gathered in the hall looked at Xiao Ran and the others.
The media reporters at the scene raised their cameras and cameras one after another and kept pressing the shutter.
In a moment, Xiao Ran and Professor Baker arrived at the long table where the contract was signed, and then stopped.
Elaine and the others, as well as the dean of the School of History and others, stood behind them.
After standing still, Professor Baker took two steps forward and began to deliver a speech.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, welcome to the Yale School of History to attend this signing ceremony."
"Today, our School of History will sign a joint exploration agreement with the Los Angeles Flying Dragon Exploration Company to confirm the cooperative relationship."
"After signing the cooperation agreement, we will form a joint exploration team and then go to Boston to launch a joint exploration operation."
"The target of this joint exploration operation is a treasure buried by the British colonists when they retreated from Boston during the Revolutionary War."
Before he finished speaking, the scene was already boiling.
"Ah! This colonial treasure turns out to be in Boston. I thought it was near New Haven!"
“Could the treasures buried by the British colonists during the War of Independence be the large amounts of gold and silver treasures plundered by the British colonists?”
"If this is the case, then this treasure must be very amazing, and perhaps also of great historical and cultural research value."
Many media reporters and history school students at the scene started talking about it, and their eyes shone with excitement.
While discussing, some guys couldn't wait to ask questions, wanting to know more about the situation.
However, Professor Baker did not answer these questions and just smiled and nodded.
In the blink of an eye, he had finished his speech, and then made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the microphone.
As usual, he started with a polite greeting before getting down to business.
"The cause of this joint exploration operation is a treasure map that has been circulated for more than three hundred years. By chance, the treasure map fell into my hands."
"After getting the treasure map of the colonial treasure, and after some research, I decided to launch this joint exploration operation to try to find this colonial treasure."
"This joint exploration operation was initiated and led by our company. Our company is also responsible for all expenses and security incurred during the exploration operation."
"The reason why I approached the Yale School of History and Professor Baker to cooperate is because Professor Baker has been studying this colonial treasure for a long time and has made some discoveries..."
After hearing this, people understood the origin of this joint exploration operation.
At the same time, everyone at the scene was filled with envy and jealousy.
Sean's luck is so fucking incredible!
How come such a precious treasure map fell into his hands instead of being obtained by others?
God is so unfair. Why do all the good things happen to this guy? Is there any justice?
Just when everyone was secretly complaining, Xiao Ran had finished his speech.
Like Professor Baker, he did not answer any questions.
Immediately afterwards, they both sat down at the long table and began to sign the joint exploration agreement.
This is just a formality, a ceremony for public joint exploration operations.
Both parties are familiar with the content and terms of the joint exploration agreement.
After getting the contract, Xiao Ran and Professor Baker quickly looked through it.
After confirming that there was no problem, they signed their names on the contract.
Immediately afterwards, the lawyers of both parties signed the contract.
Contracts are then exchanged and the previous actions are repeated again.
In a matter of moments, the agreement for joint exploration of colonial treasures was signed.
After exchanging the contract again, Xiao Ran checked the signature.
After confirming that there was no problem, he handed the signed contract to David and shook hands with Professor Baker.
Then, he turned to look at the many media reporters at the scene, smiled and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can now start asking questions. We are very happy to answer your questions."
Before he finished speaking, many media reporters at the scene raised their hands.
Xiao Ran glanced at the scene, then raised his hand and pointed at a beautiful reporter.
"Ladies first, the first opportunity to ask questions belongs to this beauty. If you have any questions, you can ask them."
The beautiful reporter was not polite at all and immediately asked her question.
"Good morning, Sean, I'm a reporter from the Washington Post. Thank you for giving me the first opportunity to ask a question."
"I would like to ask, what is in this colonial treasure from the Revolutionary War? Where is this treasure buried in Boston? Can you introduce it to everyone?"
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and immediately responded.
"This beauty, we don't know much about this colonial treasure, and we don't know the exact location."
"If we knew the exact location, we wouldn't have to go to Boston to explore with great fanfare, we could just dig."
"What I can tell you is that this colonial treasure is in the old city of Boston. The specific location needs to be explored to determine"
"As for what is in this colonial treasure? We don't know yet. We hope there will be surprising and major discoveries."
As soon as the words fell, reporters from other media immediately raised their hands, scrambling one by one.
This time Xiao Ran pointed to a male reporter in his thirties and asked this guy to ask questions.
How could that guy be so polite? He quickly asked:
"Good morning, Sean, I'm a reporter from New Haven Citizen TV and it's my pleasure to attend this press conference."
"I would like to ask, if the joint exploration team goes to Boston and successfully finds this colonial treasure, how will you distribute the contents of the treasure?"
"Is it possible that the antique artworks and gold and silver treasures from this treasure can be given to Yale University for Professor Baker to take back to New Haven?"
"One more thing. The mayor of New Haven made a public appeal last night, hoping that Miller's "Late Home" can stay in New Haven. How do you respond to this appeal?"
As this series of questions were raised, a commotion immediately arose on the scene.
Whether it is media reporters or Yale students, this is an issue of great concern to everyone.
After the words fell, everyone looked at Xiao Ran, waiting for his response.
Xiao Ran looked at the reporter and then joked:
"Man, your questions are very pointed. If you don't answer them well, it will lead to a lot of doubts and criticism."
"But I don't intend to avoid it. Instead, I will answer all your questions head-on to clear up everyone's doubts."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
As you all know, the main event is coming!
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"First let's talk about the distribution of this colonial treasure. After some discussion and negotiation, we reached an agreement with the Yale School of History."
"According to the just-signed joint exploration agreement and treasure distribution agreement, once this colonial treasure is discovered, all antique artworks and gold and silver treasures in the treasure will belong to our company."
"The Yale School of History is responsible for conducting archaeological research and has exclusive access to all academic research results related to this colonial treasure. Only they have the authority to conduct relevant archaeological research."
Before he finished speaking, the scene was completely fried.
"Did I hear you correctly? Yale is only responsible for archaeological research, but it can't get any physical objects? This is too unfair."
"As expected! Sean is still as greedy as ever. He has made it clear that he wants to monopolize everything in this colonial treasure."
There was a commotion and everyone started talking.
Especially the many students from the Yale School of History who were watching the excitement were all very angry and kept protesting.
Xiao Ran was there, looking at everyone present with a smile.
After a moment, he raised his hands and gently pressed them down to signal everyone to be quiet.
Seeing his actions, everyone stopped talking and looked at him.
The next moment, Xiao Ran smiled and said loudly:
"I knew that people would think this cooperation condition is a bit harsh, but it is not."
"Don't forget, this joint exploration operation was initiated by us, and all costs will be borne by us. The physical objects found in the treasure should belong to our company."
"Yale is a university, not a company pursuing profits. What they are pursuing should be the truth of history. Relatively speaking, that is the most important thing."
"Besides, Yale University has the right of first refusal to purchase all the antique artworks and gold and silver treasures found in this colonial treasure, and I will be happy to sell those treasures to Yale."
Upon hearing this, many media reporters and Yale students at the scene fell silent.
Especially many Yale students, after thinking about it, they all nodded.
Obviously, they agreed with Xiao Ran's explanation, even if they felt a little unhappy.
There is no way, the leadership of this joint exploration operation is not in the hands of Yale at all!
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"As for the mayor of New Haven's public appeal, I saw it on the news last night, and I also received a call from the mayor this morning."
"But I'm very sorry. I plan to collect Miller's "Late Home" myself and display it in my private museum in the future instead of selling this painting to Yale."
"Starting today, the special exhibition of Miller's "Late Home" will be held at the Yale Art Museum. Taking this opportunity, everyone can appreciate this immortal work of realism."
"well!"
There was a sigh, and all the Yale students and local reporters sighed together.
At the same time, everyone present was filled with envy and jealousy.
The next person to ask questions was a student reporter, and he was aggressive.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from the Journal of Harvard University. Nice to meet you."
"I would like to ask, why didn't you choose to cooperate with our Harvard University? Instead, you chose Yale in New Haven?"
"Scholars from Harvard University obviously have a better understanding of the situation in Boston and can provide more convenience for joint exploration operations."
"And we only care about exploring the truth of history. We have no requirements for the antique artworks and gold and silver treasures in the treasure..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha"
Xiao Ran and Yi Lian all laughed, as well as many media reporters.
Looking at Professor Baker and others, as well as many Yale students, they were all very angry.
"Get out of here, you idiots at Harvard. Idiots who are sensationalizing are not welcome at Yale!"
A boy from the history college suddenly shouted.
As he shouted, the emotions of many Yale students were instantly ignited, and they all started shouting.
"That's right, Harvard idiots, get out of here!"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran and the others suddenly laughed even more happily.
