Before noon, Xiao Ran had finished cleaning up the remaining two antique stores, and took Yi Lian and the others out of Boss Chen's antique store.
The treasures he found in this antique shop were packed into portable safes, painting tubes, and suitcases, and all were carried to the vehicle parked outside.
Unfortunately, there are no big leaks in Boss Chen’s antique shop.
Unlike Boss Zhang’s antique shop, there is a set of unknown bronze chimes from the Warring States Period.
When they saw Xiao Ran and the others coming out of the antique store, the media reporters gathered near the door immediately started asking questions.
"Good morning, Sean, I'm a reporter for the Boston Chronicle."
"Excuse me, what treasure did you find in this antique store? Can you tell us about it?"
A reporter in his thirties asked loudly.
After hearing the question, Xiao Ran turned to look at the reporter, then smiled and said:
"Good morning, Mr. Reporter, I bought a few pieces of antique art from China in this antique store, that's all."
"The value of these antique works of art is not very high, but they are very beautiful. I still like them, so I bought them."
As soon as he finished speaking, another reporter immediately asked:
"Hello Sean, I'm a reporter from Boston Public Television and I'm happy to interview you."
"As far as I know, your joint exploration team with Yale has obtained permission to conduct archaeological exploration in Boston."
"Excuse me, when will you launch a joint exploration operation? Where is the target location?"
Xiao Ran looked at the reporter and immediately gave the answer.
"Thank you for your attention. Yes, the joint exploration team has indeed obtained a permit from the Boston city government."
"But we still have some preparation work to do. If everything goes well, within two to three days, we will launch an exploratory operation."
"As for the location to explore, everyone will know when the action starts. That's it. I wish everyone a good day."
After speaking, he waved to the many media reporters and onlookers at the scene, and then boarded the President No. 1 in front of him.
After everyone got on the bus, the motorcade immediately started and drove straight to Financial Street.
Like the batch of antiques and artworks yesterday, Xiao Ran planned to store the treasures he bought today in the bank vault.
This is undoubtedly safer and will not create ties and distract security forces.
Not long after the motorcade drove out, Xiao Ran's cell phone suddenly rang.
It was Counselor Wang calling.
Xiao Ran took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and then answered the call.
The next moment, Counselor Wang's voice came over.
"Good morning, Xiao Ran, I heard that you collected a lot of good antique works of art today, which once again caused a sensation in the domestic antique shop and made everyone envious."
Just like yesterday, Xiao Ran still had a live broadcast today, leading tens of thousands of fans to search for treasures on the spot.
Most of the antique artworks found in these two antique stores today will be transferred to the many fans in the live broadcast room at low prices.
The price that fans get for these antique artworks is generally only about 60% of the market price.
In other words, as long as they get an antique piece of art, they can make a fortune by reselling it in China.
As for the transfer method, it is still the same as last night's live broadcast, which is a lottery in the live broadcast room.
Who can win the lottery and take the opportunity to make some extra money depends entirely on personal luck.
The lottery last night has caused a huge sensation in the domestic antique shops.
Some of the fans who won the prizes sold the antique artworks at high prices before the live broadcast ended, thus making a lot of money.
Next, they only need to wait for Xiao Ran to send these antique artworks back to the country.
Once the resting period is over, they can get the corresponding antique artwork.
Then sell those antiques and artworks, and be safe!
Who doesn't like such a good thing?
In the end, this is not the end. If Xiao Ran continues to do this today, can he not cause a sensation?
It is no exaggeration that many people in the domestic antique business are now staring closely at these antique works of art.
Tens of thousands of fans in several live broadcast rooms are gearing up, waiting for another draw in the evening.
Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, who would be willing to rent out their personal account?
Coupled with the warning issued by Xiao Ran, the idea of renting out personal accounts for profit was completely suppressed as soon as it started to appear.
Hearing what Counselor Wang said, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile proudly.
However, he was still polite.
"Today's harvest is not as good as yesterday's. I didn't find any precious antiques and artworks. Fortunately, I gained something."
"You are so greedy, you still want to discover national treasures every day!"
Counselor Wang said angrily.
But how did he know that the set of Warring States bronze chimes that Xiao Ran discovered today was a set of national treasures.
After chatting for a while, Counselor Wang got to the point.
"Xiao Ran, the Air China cargo plane you want has been coordinated by the Consulate General for you. You can use it at any time."
"The Cultural Office of the Consulate General will send someone to Boston to help you handle this matter. There won't be any trouble."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's eyes immediately flashed with joy.
"That's great, Uncle Wang, I can handle the matters at Boston Airport myself."
“If you have time, you might as well come to Boston”
"Among the antique works of art I discovered this time, some of them are extremely heavy and are made of bronze."
"Since the trade of bronzes is prohibited in China, we need to inform the domestic cultural relics bureau in advance."
When he said these words, a smile flashed quickly in his eyes.
The reason why he asked Counselor Wang to come to Boston was not entirely to discuss the transfer of these antiques and artworks back to China.
The more important purpose was to hand over the priceless digital memory card to Counselor Wang.
There is a large amount of confidential information and data stored in that digital memory card, and it is a big hidden danger to carry it with you.
Before the joint exploration operation can be officially launched, a way must be found to return the digital memory card to the country.
Xiao Ran originally thought about using this opportunity to transport antique artworks back to China to send back the digital memory card.
But he thought about it carefully and finally gave up the idea.
If you do that, if you are exposed, it will definitely bring considerable danger to your family and involve them in this highly dangerous game.
Xiao Ran never wanted to see such a result.
Because of this, he decided.
It is better to continue the previous method and pass the information back to the country through the Consulate General.
Counselor Wang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"No problem, Xiao Ran. Since it is a very heavy national treasure bronze, we must report it to the Cultural Relics Bureau."
"I'll rush to Boston tomorrow to see what national treasures you guys have discovered."
After several cooperations, Counselor Wang and Xiao Ran quickly formed a tacit understanding.
They can understand the subtext of each other's words, but they understand each other tacitly.
After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran hung up the phone.
After a while, the motorcade drove into Boston's Financial Street.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already around two o'clock in the afternoon.
After having lunch and taking a short rest, Xiao Ran and the others left the hotel again.
This time, they did not go to Chinatown or visit antique shops in other places. Instead, they walked straight into the Boston Common, which was just around the corner.
Boston Common is the oldest park in the United States. It has existed since before the founding of the United States, and the scenery is still very good.
Since everyone has come to Boston and this park is right opposite the hotel, it is natural not to miss it.
More importantly, there are two exploration locations in Boston Common.
The unknown colonial treasure that the joint exploration team is targeting may be buried somewhere in Boston Common.
In view of this, this beautiful park cannot be missed.
After entering the park, Xiao Ran and the others, like other tourists, laughed and chatted while admiring the scenery in the park.
However, their arrival attracted countless attention.
As soon as they entered the park, everyone in the park looked over.
Some of the tourists even took the initiative to chat and curiously asked for news.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, I heard that you came to Boston to explore a colonial treasure."
"You are now on Boston Common. Is this unknown colonial treasure somewhere in the park?"
A middle-aged white man asked curiously.
Before he finished speaking, a guy who looked like a college student immediately asked:
"Good afternoon, Sean, Boston Common is the starting point of the Freedom Trail, and the Freedom Trail is the best-preserved old town in Boston."
"Is the colonial treasure you are looking for located along the Freedom Trail? Those places seem to have the highest possibility!"
Xiao Ran looked at these guys, then smiled and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's nice to see you all here and thank you for your attention."
“Boston Common is beautiful and the oldest urban park in the United States.”
“We are here today to enjoy the scenery, not to explore any treasures.”
"We are not sure about the location of this colonial treasure, so we can only explore slowly."
"Of course, it's possible that this colonial treasure is buried in the Boston Common, perhaps right beneath our feet."
"If you are interested, you can also participate in this game and search for this colonial treasure together..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterwards, people looked at the ground and surroundings, trying to find something.
From Xiao Ran's words, people heard it very clearly.
This little-known colonial treasure may indeed be buried in Boston Common.
After confirming this, people could no longer endure it, and they lowered their heads and started exploring.
Seeing the performance of everyone present, Xiao Ran just smiled softly, and then walked deeper into the park with Elaine and the others.
If this colonial treasure was so easy to find, how could it have been preserved until now?
