Twenty minutes later.
After washing, disinfecting, and eating something, Xiao Ran took the four treasure boxes of the Plantagenet family to a camping tent at the site.
Also coming along were Professor Baker and others, as well as Boston Deputy Mayor Jack.
By this time, these guys were back in shape and in high spirits.
The camping tent was empty except for some folding chairs and a few display tables.
Sam personally led several armed security personnel to guard the outside of the tent.
Even so, before entering this large camping tent, Xiao Ran secretly activated his clairvoyance ability and looked through the tent.
He even left the grass under the tent untouched to prevent anyone from making a fuss underground.
Once he was sure it was safe, he felt relieved.
After entering the tent, he glanced at the internal environment, and then asked his employees to place the four treasure boxes on the table.
Professor Baker and Jack also walked in one after another.
When everyone arrived, Xiao Ran immediately got to the point.
He glanced at everyone present, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, let me tell you something. I am ready to sell Richard the Lionheart's battle ax and golden scepter and Plantagenet gold crown immediately, as well as the Plantagenet genealogy."
"These things are priceless, but they are too hot to touch. For safety reasons, I made this decision. I hope everyone can understand and cooperate."
"People from all walks of life outside are basically here for these priceless treasures. There are many people on their way here, such as Prince William of the British royal family."
Before he could even finish his words, everyone at the scene exploded.
"Sean, if you sell these priceless treasures immediately, how will our interests be guaranteed?"
"According to the joint exploration agreement, we enjoy the archaeological rights and related academic research rights of this treasure."
Professor Baker asked eagerly.
Several other Yale professors also echoed the sentiment.
Soon after, Jack also stood up.
"Sean, according to the cooperation agreement signed between the joint exploration team and the Boston city government, we enjoy 30% of the rights to this treasure."
"Although we do not have decision-making power, the interests of the Boston city government must be guaranteed, and this is non-negotiable."
Xiao Ran looked at these guys, raised his hand and pressed down gently.
"Gentlemen, please be patient. Please listen to my explanation. Your interests will be guaranteed. Don't worry about that."
After hearing this, the scene became a little quieter.
The next moment, Xiao Ran gave an explanation.
"Let's talk about Yale University first. No matter who I sell these priceless treasures to, I will make it clear in the transaction contract that Yale University has exclusive academic research rights."
"In other words, no matter who hands these priceless treasures, Yale University's interests will not be lost at all. This is one of the prerequisites for the conclusion of the transaction, and the buyer must abide by it."
"In order to ensure the interests of Yale University, the buyer must provide Professor Baker with the convenience of conducting academic research and assume corresponding confidentiality responsibilities..."
Upon hearing this, Professor Baker and the others immediately relaxed their frowns.
Seeing that their own interests are protected, they naturally have no reason to object.
"Sean, if it's like you said, then we have no doubts."
"But don't forget, Yale has the right of first refusal to purchase items from this treasure."
Professor Baker nodded.
Xiao Ran looked at him, smiled and nodded.
"Of course Yale can exercise its right of first refusal. It depends on whether Yale can make an offer that satisfies me."
Professor Baker and the others paused for a moment, then looked at each other.
From each other's eyes, they both saw a look of worry.
They understood that if Yale wanted to exercise its right of first refusal to acquire these priceless treasures, the likelihood of success was slim.
There are too many people staring at these priceless treasures, and not one of them is good at it!
Although Yale has money, it is unlikely to defeat those guys outside.
While speaking, Xiao Ran looked at Jack.
"I will abide by the cooperation and distribution agreement signed with the Boston City Government and ensure the interests of the Boston City Government."
"The rights and interests that belong to you will not be less, including the taxes that should be paid. You can also exercise the right of first refusal."
Hearing this, Jack could only nod.
"Now that the interests of the Boston city government can be guaranteed, I have no reason to object anymore."
Next, everyone discussed it for a while.
Professor Baker and the others were also very concerned about the handling of the remaining Plantagenet relics and the large number of Shakespeare manuscripts.
Especially those manuscripts of Shakespeare, the research value is extremely high, they are not willing to miss it.
Not only that, they all hope that Xiao Ran will sell those manuscripts to Yale University.
In addition, they also wanted to acquire the two oil paintings by Tintoretto and Rubens.
However, Xiao Ran did not give a definite answer.
He told Professor Baker and others.
I haven’t decided yet what to do with the rest of the antique artworks and Shakespeare manuscripts!
After discussing for a while, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.
"Okay, gentlemen, that's all I have to say. Next, I'm going to contact various people outside."
"Whoever can take the golden scepter and Plantagenet crown of King Richard the Lion-Hearted in the end, as well as the Plantagenet family tree, depends on their bid."
As he spoke, he nodded to David who was standing next to him.
David understood immediately, took out a newly prepared list, and walked out of the tent.
A few minutes later, he returned here with representatives from all parties.
Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of an employee, several media reporters were also able to enter the tent.
Afterwards, David introduced the representatives of each party one by one.
Among these were several Boston Brahmin family heads, as well as representatives of other families in Boston.
There is also the mayor of Boston, the presidential envoy, a representative of the Donkey Party, and two state senators.
The consul and cultural counselor of the British Consulate General in Boston, and the president of several top universities such as Harvard, Yale, and MIT.
Directors of several top museums, including Matthew and several other old friends, as well as various other people.
In addition, there are representatives of the Rockefeller and Morgan families, the Rothschild family, and old friends such as Griffin and Steve, and so on.
After a while, this large tent that was originally empty became bustling with people and even seemed a little crowded.
Everyone who enters this tent must be disinfected at the door and wear a mask before entering the tent.
As soon as they came in, these guys looked at the four Plantagenet treasure chests on the table. Everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of greed.
Everyone knew what was in those treasure chests.
At this time, they all wished they could rush forward and take those exquisite and luxurious treasure chests as their own.
After David's introduction, Xiao Ran bumped elbows with various people and representatives one by one and exchanged a few polite words.
After getting to know and greet everyone, Xiao Ran returned to the front of the tent again, and then said loudly with a smile:
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to all of you. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's my great honor."
"I won't introduce much about this joint exploration operation here. Everyone should already know the relevant situation."
"I know very well why you are here. That is why I invite you to enter this tent."
"Hahaha"
The scene immediately burst into laughter, and everyone laughed.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"Next, I will be displaying several Plantagenet relics here, as well as several other antique works of art."
"For the sake of confidentiality and to protect the interests of our partners, there are some things that are inconvenient to display. I hope everyone understands."
"After the display is completed, I will sell some of the antique artworks. As for who can win which treasures, it depends on everyone's bids."
Before he finished speaking, the scene was already boiling.
"That's great. Since Sean is willing to sell some antique art, we have a chance to buy it."
"I don't know if Sean will release those antique works of art. Let's wait and see what happens first."
Everyone started talking about it, and everyone was full of expectations and extremely excited.
At the same time, each of them was secretly gearing up to fight and win the treasure they wanted.
At this moment, Xiao Ran had opened a treasure box.
Two gold candlesticks and a set of gold and silver wine sets were taken out and placed on the table in front of them.
While taking out these antique cultural relics, he was also introducing them.
"What you are seeing now are several antique artifacts from the early Renaissance and from the British court."
"Britain was under the rule of the Plantagenet dynasty at that time, and these antiques are all engraved with the Plantagenet dynasty's coat of arms."
"They are early Renaissance-style antiques with distinctive features, very rare and well-preserved..."
Listening to this introduction and looking at these exquisite antique cultural relics, everyone at the scene was very excited.
They all stared closely at these treasures and could not bear to look away for a moment.
Except for the British consul in Boston and the cultural attaché, the rest of the people present were all Americans, and everyone was worth a lot of money.
For these rich Americans, they dream of getting some of these top-notch antiques to decorate their appearance and enhance their style!
What's more, these antiques all come from the British court in the Middle Ages and are relics of the famous Plantagenet Dynasty, so they are even more not to be missed!
While admiring it, someone suddenly asked loudly:
"Sean, are you going to sell these antique artifacts from the Plantagenet Dynasty?"
Xiao Ran looked at the person who asked, then smiled and nodded.
"Gentlemen, as long as the antique artworks I put on display will be sold later, everyone just wait patiently for a while."
“But one thing I must remind you is that when conducting transactions, I have some special requirements. Only when the requirements are met can the transaction proceed.”
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Next, please enjoy two oil paintings. They have not appeared since the 18th century, but they are undoubtedly top-notch works of art."
"They are respectively the outstanding paintings of the late Renaissance and Venetian school art master Tintoretto, "Prometheus"
"As well as the outstanding painting of Rubens, the famous painter of the Flemish school of painting in the 17th century and the master of art, "The Visit of the Magi""
As he spoke, he opened another box and took out two old painting tubes.
Following his words, the scene was filled with exclamations again.
"Wow! Masterpieces by the masters of art Tintoretto and Rubens, they must be top-notch works of art."
"Shaun is so lucky. He can find anything good. It's so enviable."
Just when everyone was amazed, Xiao Ran opened the painting tube and began to display these two top-notch oil paintings.
