It's dusk in the blink of an eye, the sky is getting darker and colder!
The exploration operation is still continuing, and a large tent has been filled with various boxes transferred from the underground palace.
The first items to be transferred to the ground, apart from the four treasure boxes of the Plantagenet family, were the boxes containing antique cultural relics and gold and silver treasures.
The largest number of crates containing Brown Bess flintlock muskets and pistols, as well as other military supplies, have not been transferred out yet and are still placed in the underground palace.
The live auction organized by Xiao Ran has also ended at this time.
The antique artworks and gold and silver treasures he put up for auction on the spot were all successfully sold, and the transaction prices were quite good.
Most of the buyers who took photos of those treasures chose cash transactions.
As soon as the auction ended, they made the delivery on site, getting both money and goods.
There are also some buyers who choose to exchange their collections of top Chinese antiques and artworks, and can only deliver them later.
Those chosen for exchange were the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Harvard University Museum.
The Chinese antiques and artworks they exchanged were all top-notch items of great value.
Otherwise, Xiao Ran would not be able to agree.
After the completion of the transaction, many successful buyers left the scene one after another with the antique artworks they had photographed.
There are also some buyers who still stay at the scene, looking at the boxes of treasures transferred from the underground palace with envy.
While talking, Xiao Ran sent away a few more buyers and turned back to the tent.
As soon as he entered, the director of the Harvard Museum came over and said:
"Sean, when do you plan to dispose of the antique gold and silver coins, antique muskets, and other antique artifacts cleared from the underground palace?"
"Although the value of these things is not high, they have certain historical and cultural research value. Our museum is going to collect a batch of them for exhibition and research."
Xiao Ran looked at this old friend, then smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Martha, I will deal with those things when this joint exploration operation is over."
"You are welcome to choose when the time comes, and maybe you will get some other surprises."
"Okay, then we'll wait a few more days."
Martha nodded in response, then changed the subject.
"What we want more is actually the manuscripts of Hamlet and The Merchant of Venice, as well as the other Shakespeare manuscripts."
"If you are willing to trade those priceless manuscripts to us, you can choose from the Chinese antiques and art collected in our museum!"
After the words fell, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh.
"Wow! This condition is so tempting, Martha, I really want to nod and agree immediately!"
"But I have a cooperation agreement with Yale, so I can't harm their interests!"
"I need to seriously consider what to do with those important manuscripts of Shakespeare."
"Just wait patiently for a while, maybe there will be a chance!"
Hearing this, Martha couldn't help but have a look of disappointment in her eyes.
The president of Harvard University standing with her was full of regret and unwillingness.
After a few chats, the president of Harvard suddenly said:
"Sean, is the sheepskin map you found in the underground palace a treasure map related to the Plantagenet family?"
"If it is really a treasure map, can we cooperate and form a joint exploration team to go to the UK to explore this unknown treasure?"
“You can rest assured that the professional capabilities of Harvard School of History are definitely better than those of Yale School of History.”
Before he finished speaking, the President of Yale University and Professor Baker who were standing aside suddenly became anxious.
Just as they were about to retort, a huge roar of helicopter engines suddenly came from the sky outside.
At the same time, John and the others also came to say goodbye.
"Sean, we're leaving. It's been a pleasure working with you."
"I wish you all the best in your next exploration and find that colonial treasure."
With that said, John shook hands with Xiao Ran.
"It's a pleasure to work with you too, John"
"And I believe that we will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Xiao Ran said politely.
As soon as she finished speaking, Martha suddenly asked curiously:
"John, where are you going to transport those priceless treasures you just captured?"
"Will it be publicly displayed in the future? Do we have a chance to see it?"
The next moment, John gave the answer.
"We are going to transport those priceless treasures to the Kennedy Presidential Museum and store them in the museum's vault."
"It's not yet certain when it will be publicly displayed, but you will definitely have the opportunity to see those treasures."
After chatting for a few more words, John and the others walked out of the tent with today's harvest and prepared to leave.
Everyone gathered in the tent was sent out.
As soon as it came out, everyone saw it.
On the grass at the edge of the central cemetery, three medium-sized helicopters have landed.
Two of the medium-sized helicopters were filled with heavily armed and armed private bodyguards, all of whom were on high alert.
In addition, the cabin of the most luxurious medium-sized helicopter was empty.
Obviously, John and the others were planning to transport those priceless treasures to the Kennedy Presidential Museum via air escort.
This was Xiao Ran's suggestion, naturally for safety reasons.
Outside the tent, John and the others waved, then took the treasures they had just taken and walked towards the three medium-sized helicopters parked at the edge of the cemetery.
A moment later, the three medium-sized helicopters took off one after another.
Then it quickly rose to a high altitude and flew towards the Kennedy Presidential Museum not far away.
As the three medium-sized helicopters flew away, John and the others got into their cars and left the central cemetery.
Not long after they left, another armed convoy came crashing over and stopped at the edge of the central cemetery.
Following this escort convoy were several police armored vehicles with the words SWAT printed on them, as well as a large number of heavily armed Boston police officers.
This escort fleet is here to escort the antiques, cultural relics and gold and silver treasures that have just been cleared out, and transport them to the vault in Boston's financial district.
Since 30% of this treasure belongs to the Boston city government, Boston naturally attaches great importance to it, so it launched such a big battle.
The arrival of the escort convoy immediately caused a commotion around the central cemetery and attracted everyone's attention.
Especially those who were watching the excitement, as well as many media reporters, all started talking about it.
"Wow! It seems that guy Sean is planning to transfer the gold and silver treasures he cleared out, and he actually created such a big battle!"
"This shows how amazing this treasure hidden deep underground is!"
"Isn't it? Someone on social media said that the transaction volume at the just-concluded live auction exceeded one billion U.S. dollars, and that lucky bastard Sean made absolutely crazy money!"
While there were a lot of discussions, people were also extremely envious, and even their eyes were red with jealousy.
Some people with ulterior motives in the crowd stared with blood-red eyes, staring at the tents in the cemetery and the armed escort convoy, with crazy colors flashing in their eyes.
Xiao Ran, standing in front of the tent in the center of the cemetery, glanced at the escort convoy that had just arrived, and then said to Sam who was standing by:
"Sam, take a group of guys over to inspect this escort fleet and carefully inspect each escort vehicle."
"After making sure that the vehicles and escorts are fine, prepare to transfer the boxes filled with gold and silver treasures."
"It will get dark soon. We have to transport all the boxes that have been moved to the ground and put them in the bank vault before it gets dark."
After the words fell, Sam immediately nodded and responded:
"Understood, Sean, leave this to us."
After saying that, he ordered a group of security personnel to go over and check the escort team.
At the same time, Jack also led people towards the escort convoy.
The next escort mission will be led by him and Professor Adrian to escort a large amount of gold and silver treasures to the financial district.
Xiao Ran will not participate in this escort operation. He will only send a few employees, security personnel, and assistant lawyers to follow him to supervise on site!
The reason for this arrangement is mainly because the value of these gold and silver treasures and antique cultural relics escorted to the bank vault is not very high.
He planned to take some of the most valuable treasures, such as Shakespeare's manuscripts, with him.
Later, he would personally leave the central cemetery with these priceless treasures.
After Sam and Jack left, Xiao Ran scanned the surroundings and prepared to return to the tent.
At this moment, Matthew suddenly said:
"It's getting late, Sean, we should go back!"
"Make an appointment later, and I will bring the corresponding Chinese art to the hotel to trade with you."
Xiao Ran looked at this old friend, smiled and nodded.
"Okay, Matthew, see you later."
"It should not take a few days before you can get Rubens's "The Adoration of the Magi"
After chatting for a few words, Matthew took the people away.
Immediately afterwards, the two presidents of Harvard University and MIT, as well as Martha and the others, also left one after another and left here.
The remaining buyers also said goodbye and left the central cemetery, escorted by many private bodyguards.
Soon, only the joint exploration team and the Boston city government were left on the scene.
Sam and the others also quickly inspected the escort convoy and found no problems!
After confirming this, Xiao Ran immediately issued instructions and began to transport the boxes filled with gold, silver, treasures and antiques.
At this moment, a large group of people suddenly came from a distance.
A guy walking at the front had a Yale University flag in his hand and kept waving it, looking triumphant.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Ran said jokingly:
"Peter, I'm asking the Yale School of History to provide some manpower to free up the joint exploration team."
"But I didn't ask you to come and occupy Boston. Look at these guys from Yale, how come you feel like you're marching into Boston!"
"Fortunately, President Lawrence of Harvard University and President Leo of MIT have left, otherwise we would never be done with you!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
Amid laughter, the new force from the Yale School of History has arrived at the edge of the central cemetery.
The arrival of these guys immediately attracted countless attention and caused waves of commotion.
Some of the college students from Harvard and MIT who came here to watch the fun were all unhappy and chewing their teeth.
Some of the guys even raised their middle fingers, and there were bursts of boos!
