White House, Oval Office.
The commander-in-chief, sitting behind the resolute table, was discussing the election with a few cronies.
Due to the anxiety about the election, the commander-in-chief's face was gloomy, and the faces of his close associates were not good-looking either.
At this moment, Ivanka suddenly opened the door and walked into the office.
At this time, the sexy young woman's expression was also ugly, as if someone owed her hundreds of millions of dollars and had not paid back.
Seeing her expression, everyone in the office was a little surprised.
The next moment, Ivanka bit her back molars and said:
"Father, we did not take down Richard the Lionheart's battle ax and golden scepter and plantage gold crown."
"Those two priceless treasures were sold to others by that Chinese boy..."
Before he finished speaking, the commander jumped up suddenly as if he was electrocuted.
While running up, this guy gritted his teeth and said:
"Didn't the presidential envoy rush to the scene? Who gave that bastard the courage to sell those priceless treasures to others?"
"Who bought those two priceless treasures? Is it that sleepy guy? I'm not done with him."
As he spoke, he suddenly waved his fist and slammed it on the table.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, everyone at the scene was startled.
The cronies who were also in the office were all gnashing their teeth with hatred.
"Fake! Is this Chinese boy too arrogant? He has forgotten everything when he has a little money?"
"This is the United States, not China. It's not his turn to be rampant."
"Donald, do you want to notify the FBI or the IRS to investigate this Chinese guy? Just find any excuse to deal with this bastard!"
Several of the President's cronies were yelling and scolding, while gearing up, preparing to cause trouble for Xiao Ran.
At this moment, Ivanka suddenly shook her head helplessly.
"I really don't blame the Chinese guy for what happened today. I guess he had no other choice."
"The person who bought those priceless treasures was not the old sleepy man, but several major families in Boston."
"Led by the Adams family, including the Kennedy family, the Winthrop family, the Bush family, the Roosevelt family, etc., they jointly acquired those priceless treasures."
"Not only that, the Chinese boy also reached an agreement with several major families in Boston, and seems to have obtained the commitment and protection of several major families."
"From this point of view, we have no reason to cause trouble with that boy, and we can't cause trouble with him, at least not yet."
"Ah! Boston Brahmins!"
With the commander's exclamation, everyone in the conference room was stunned.
They all know very well how amazing the energy of the major Brahmin families in Boston is.
Even though they are sitting in the Oval Office now, they cannot afford to offend the wealthy and distinguished families of the Boston Brahmins.
The great commander's family is nothing more than an upstart compared to those wealthy families.
Moreover, the commander-in-chief is extremely hopeful that his family will grow rapidly and become one of the Boston Brahmins in the future.
After a while, everyone finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the commander said helplessly:
"Since they are the major Brahmin families in Boston, forget it. There is no need to deal with that crazy Chinese boy anymore."
"As long as those priceless treasures don't fall into Sleepy Joe's hands, it'll be fine, and we won't lose!"
Hearing this, Ivanka and several cronies nodded.
The same scene was played out simultaneously at the Donkey Party’s campaign headquarters and in the Capitol.
"Damn it, how did this crazy bastard get involved with a Boston Brahmin? That's not a good thing."
In the Speaker's office, the crazy old woman said angrily.
After the words fell, a confidant responsible for inquiring about the news immediately continued:
"Taking this opportunity, Sean reached an agreement with the Boston Brahmins and gained the commitment and protection of several major families."
"As for the specific content of the agreement and commitment, there is no way to know."
Hearing this, the crazy old woman suddenly fell silent.
After pondering for a moment, she gritted her molars and said:
"This bastard is so good at maneuvering. He has not only established connections with the Boston Brahmins, but also has good relationships with plutocrats such as the Rothschild family and the Rockefeller family."
"Stop all actions against this bastard. Let's take a look at the situation first. I don't want to mess with those behemoths!"
"Okay, ma'am, I know what to do."
The staff member nodded in response.
London, England, Buckingham Palace.
"Your Majesty, I just received the latest news from Boston."
"Richard the Lionheart's golden scepter and Plantagenet crown, as well as the Plantagenet family tree, were jointly acquired by several major families in Boston."
"The transaction price of those priceless treasures is US$600 million, and there are two additional conditions."
A middle-aged man was reporting the situation, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Upon hearing the news, the Queen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This result was somewhat beyond her expectation.
But she woke up in the blink of an eye, and then said in a deep voice:
"In this case, after William lands in Boston, let him get in touch with several major families in Boston."
"Find a way to take back those priceless treasures from them. If necessary, you can give those families a few titles in exchange for those treasures."
"Especially the genealogy of the Plantagenet family, you must understand what is recorded in the genealogy."
Before he finished speaking, Prince Charles, who was also at the scene, suddenly interrupted and said:
"It's not appropriate to give away a few titles for a few antiques, isn't it?"
"The Plantagenet Dynasty has long been history. Even if the blood of the Plantagenet family is passed down, it doesn't matter!"
The queen looked at her son and shook her head helplessly.
"It's just a few titles. They're just empty titles without a fiefdom. What does it matter if you give them away a few?"
"Although the Plantagenet Dynasty has long become history, the status of King Richard the Lion-Hearted has not changed. He is considered by the general public to be the patron saint of Britain!"
"From the perspective of winning people's hearts, we should also take back those priceless treasures."
"As for the descendants of the Plantagenet family, if they exist, they must be found to avoid being used to make a fuss by others in the future."
"In the history of our country, how many dynasties were replaced by later dynasties because of the loss of heirs? You don't remember it, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Prince Charles's expression suddenly changed.
In the blink of an eye, he figured out the joints and nodded vigorously.
Boston, Central Cemetery.
John quickly got hold of other buyers on the scene and reached an agreement with those buyers.
Facing the Boston Brahmins, the other buyers still lacked some confidence and could only accept this result.
"Sean, we have solved the problems you mentioned."
"We agree to the conditions you proposed. Can the transaction be carried out now?"
John asked with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran took the initiative to shake hands with him.
"Deal, Mr. Adams, it's a pleasure to work with you."
"David is preparing a trading contract. As long as you sign the contract, you can take away these three priceless treasures."
John nodded appreciatively and said with a smile:
"Deal, Sean, we're happy to meet you and work with you."
"After signing the transaction contract, I will immediately arrange for someone to pay for the goods and deposit them into your company accounts in China and the United States respectively."
“We are not in a hurry to leave and want to participate in the next auction.”
After chatting for a while, John and the others went to appreciate the antique artworks.
Soon, David prepared the transaction contract and showed it to the other party's lawyer.
After confirming that there was no problem with the contract, Xiao Ran and John immediately signed the contract on site and completed this heavyweight antique cultural relic transaction.
As the other two parties to the cooperation, the mayor of Boston and the president of Yale University also signed their names on a supplementary contract.
Immediately afterwards, John and the others called separately and notified the financial directors of their respective families to make the payment.
After a while, Xiao Ran received a call from the bank manager and Miller, confirming that the $600 million payment had been received.
After handling this matter, Xiao Ran immediately let out a sigh of relief.
For him, the pressure suddenly became much lighter after dealing with these hot potatoes.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
The appreciation time is over, and it’s time to enter the auction.
"Papa"
Xiao Ran tapped his palm twice, attracting everyone's attention.
When everyone at the scene turned to look over, he immediately smiled and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have all seen these antique works of art and must have made your choice."
"The auction will begin next, I hope everyone can gain something."
After hearing this, everyone at the scene suddenly became more excited.
They were all gearing up and preparing to bid to win their favorite treasures.
But who could have imagined that Xiao Ran gave everyone a surprise.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to save time, I have decided to use sealed bids for this auction."
"Everyone must know something about the sealed bid auction, so I won't introduce it here."
"What I want to say is that for these antique works of art to be auctioned on site, each person only has one chance to make a bid."
"And these antiques and artworks have auction reserve prices. Before the bidding is opened, I will announce the auction reserve prices first to show fairness."
"In view of this, please think carefully before filling in the quotation, so as not to miss the baby you like."
Following Xiao Ran's words, the scene immediately started to boil.
"Ah! Sealed bidding auction, and there is an auction reserve price. This guy is so cunning!"
"Wow! This guy is so calculating. No one can take advantage of him. He is such a greedy guy!"
Listening to these discussions at the scene, Xiao Ran couldn't help but have a glimmer of pride in his eyes.
The reason why he adopted a sealed bid auction and set an auction reserve price was to prevent the buyers on the scene from secretly getting together and cheating him!
In particular, behemoths such as the Boston Brahmins and the Rockefellers, Morgans, and Rothschilds have too much influence.
If they like something, other buyers may choose to give in, or raise a symbolic sign, and then withdraw from the competition.
In that case, good things won’t get the ideal price!
In order to offset the influence of these wealthy families and maximize profits, Xiao Ran adopted this auction method and set an auction reserve price.
Looking at John and the others, they all shook their heads helplessly.
These guys were all human beings, and they instantly guessed Xiao Ran's intention, but they didn't say anything more!
After a pause, Xiao Ran's voice came out again.
"There is another special feature of this auction. You can choose to pay cash or exchange it with top-notch Chinese antiques!"
“I recommend everyone to use Chinese antiques and artworks for exchange, but buyers need to bring the corresponding Chinese antiques and artworks to Boston.”
"After my appraisal, if it is genuine and of reasonable value, the transaction can proceed smoothly."
"Okay, that's all I have to say, gentlemen, the auction will begin soon!"
As soon as the words fell, several company employees on the scene immediately took action.
They distributed the prepared envelopes, pens and paper to each buyer.
Also attached is a brief introduction to the auction rules!
