When the street lights came on, the armed escort convoy started with a bang, leaving the central cemetery and heading towards the financial district not far away.
At the exploration site, the group of teachers and students from the Yale School of History who had just arrived were handing over to the joint exploration team.
Next, the subsequent cleanup operations for the palace located deep underground will be taken over by this new group of fresh troops.
Corresponding archaeological exploration operations will also be launched simultaneously, naturally led by the Yale School of History.
As for the joint exploration team, they will continue to search for the unknown colonial treasure until they find it.
After watching the escort convoy leave, Xiao Ran, the mayor of Boston, and lawyers from both sides.
Professor Baker and others walked into the luxury car next to them and started talking.
After entering the RV and waiting for everyone to sit down, Xiao Ran immediately got to the point.
"Mr. Mayor, you saw it before. In a treasure chest of the Plantagenet family, I found a sheepskin map and several land deeds."
"Since you own 30% of the rights to this treasure and have the right to know, it's time for us to talk about how to deal with these things."
As he spoke, he opened the portable safe placed aside and took out the sheepskin map and several land deeds placed inside.
However, he did not open these things immediately, nor did he hand them to the mayor of Boston.
Looking at the mayor again, he was staring at the sheepskin map and land deed under Xiao Ran's hand with extremely hot eyes.
Professor Baker and others who were also present stared at these treasures with bright eyes.
"Sean, is this sheepskin map a treasure map? Does it point to the Plantagenet family's treasure?"
"And these land deeds. More than two hundred years later, are they still legally valid? Even if they are legally valid, can you get them?"
the mayor of Boston asked eagerly.
Xiao Ran looked at the other party, pondered for a moment, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"I don't have exact answers to your questions now. Only through careful investigation can we know the results."
"Mr. Mayor, you can take a look at this map and the land deed, but they must be kept strictly confidential. This is related to the interests of both parties."
As he spoke, he pushed over the map and several land deeds.
The mayor of Boston reached out to take these treasures and couldn't wait to open them and check them out.
Although the lawyer sitting next to him was extremely curious, there was even a bit of greed in his eyes.
But in full view of the public, he still suppressed his curiosity and did not look at the maps and land deeds.
The mayor of Boston looked over the map and several land deeds one by one with bright eyes, not sparing any of them.
He looked very carefully and very slowly, obviously trying to memorize the contents on the map and land deed.
Xiao Ran didn't stop him, he just looked at the other party with a smile.
It took a long time for the mayor of Boston to finish reading these treasures.
Then, he reluctantly closed the sheepskin map and returned these things to Xiao Ran.
Then, he asked expectantly:
"Sean, according to the cooperation agreement we signed, you have the right to dispose of these things. I would like to ask, how do you plan to dispose of these things?"
"According to the cooperation agreement, the Boston city government holds 30% of the rights to these treasures. Our interests must be guaranteed. This is non-negotiable."
Xiao Ran nodded and then expressed his thoughts.
"Mr. Mayor, where does this sheepskin map point to? Is it a treasure map? I'm not sure yet."
"Are these land deeds still legally valid? Can we get back the land on the land deeds? It's also not sure."
"In view of this, I have thought of two ways to solve these problems and ensure the interests of both parties."
The mayor of Boston paused, and then said curiously:
"What two methods? Tell me, I'm very interested."
After the words fell, Xiao Ran immediately continued:
"The first method is very simple. I offer 50 million US dollars to acquire 30% of your equity, which is limited to this sheepskin map and a few land deeds."
"If you can accept this approach, you can get $50 million immediately without taking any risks. All risks will be borne by me."
"The second way is that you retain 30% of your rights, share the risks with me, and face the unknown results together."
"If this sheepskin map is really a treasure map, the title deed is still valid, and after excluding exploration costs and taxes, you will enjoy 30% of the income."
"On the other hand, you may get nothing, and you will also lose the opportunity to get 50 million US dollars. You can think about it, how do you choose?"
After the words fell, the mayor of Boston fell silent.
Faced with the $50 million in front of him and the unknown results, he instantly fell into conflict.
For the Boston city government, $50 million is definitely not a small number.
Such a large amount of money can do a lot of things and feed a lot of people. It's very tempting!
If you give up the $50 million you have at your fingertips, you will face an unknown result.
This unknown result may be a greater fortune, but it may also be nothing!
Thinking of this, the mayor of Boston couldn't help but feel a headache.
After thinking for a long time, this guy just said:
"Sean, your two methods of disposal are very reasonable and indeed take into account the interests of both of us."
"But I can't make an immediate decision as to what choice to make. I need to go back and discuss it with the MPs."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Of course, no problem, Mr. Mayor, I'm waiting for your reply. I hope to get the answer before the end of this joint exploration operation."
Next, they discussed how to distribute the rest of the treasure.
There are also those antique works of art that have just been auctioned. How should the auction proceeds be distributed?
And things like those Shakespeare manuscripts, when they were sold and distributed.
On the basis of the cooperation agreement, the two parties quickly reached an agreement.
The distribution method is very simple. Feilong will be responsible for sales at Sky Exploration Company, and the Boston City Government will just wait and count the money.
Both parties are very satisfied with the result.
After talking about the business, everyone discussed the follow-up arrangements.
While he was talking, a huge roar of helicopter engines suddenly came from the sky outside.
The moment they heard this voice, the mayor of Boston and others couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Xiao Ran turned his head and looked out the window, and then explained a few words.
"It's getting dark outside. It's time for us to leave the Central Cemetery and return to the hotel. I'm going to leave by helicopter."
"Isn't the Ritz-Carlton Hotel right next to the Boston Common? Is it necessary to take a helicopter at such a short distance?"
the mayor of Boston asked in surprise.
Xiao Ran shook his head gently.
"Yes, the hotel is very close to here, but there are too many people gathered around the central cemetery, and there are many media reporters. The situation is quite complicated."
"The vegetation in the Boston Common is lush, and it's dark again. No one can be sure whether there is a gunman hidden in a certain forest where the escort team passed."
"The things I plan to bring back to the hotel are of great value, especially the many manuscripts of Shakespeare, which are priceless and will inevitably attract coveted eyes."
"For safety reasons, I decided to take a helicopter to leave from the air. At present, it seems that the air is the safest, and the hotel is ready to respond."
After hearing this explanation, the mayor of Boston and others could only nod.
At the same time, they were secretly frightened.
Xiao Ran's impeccable behavior shocked them again.
After chatting for a few more words, everyone just left the luxury RV.
As soon as they came out, they saw it.
On the grass at the edge of the central cemetery, two medium-sized helicopters have landed.
From the grassland where the two helicopters were to the exploration team's camp, Sam and the others had opened a safe passage.
The crowd who gathered outside the cemetery to watch the excitement, as well as many media reporters, were stopped outside the cordon and were not allowed to approach the safe passage.
At the same time, the handover work at the exploration site has been completed.
The fresh troops who just arrived from Yale will take over the joint exploration team and continue the archaeological exploration.
After completing the handover, the members of the joint exploration team quickly packed up and prepared to leave.
Xiao Ran quickly scanned the scene, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, it's time for us to leave. Go back to the hotel to rest and prepare for tomorrow's exploration operation."
Upon hearing this, Professor Baker and the others nodded.
"Everyone really needs to go back to the hotel to rest. I didn't feel that before. I was always very excited."
"Now that I have completed the handover, I suddenly feel sore all over my body. I really want to take a hot bath immediately and lie in bed and have a good sleep."
Professor Baker said with emotion.
Having said that, several Yale University professors still had their eyes shining with excitement.
Not only them, but everyone at the scene behaved the same way.
It was a perfect day for everyone on the joint exploration team.
Today's amazing discovery that shocked the world makes everyone very proud.
After a few chats, the mayor of Boston took the lead to say goodbye and left Boston Common with a group of his men.
Later, Xiao Ran, Yi Lian and the others met together.
Everyone carried a few portable safes and two Plantagenet family treasure chests, and walked straight towards the two medium-sized helicopters.
Protected by numerous armed security guards, they soon emerged from the central cemetery.
Seeing them coming out, the media reporters gathered outside the cordon immediately began to ask questions loudly.
"Good evening, Mr. Shawn, I'm a reporter from Boston Public Television."
"Can you tell us about this treasure? Tell us about the underground palace?"
A reporter in his thirties asked loudly.
Immediately afterwards, another reporter asked:
"Good evening, Sean, I'm a reporter for The New York Times."
"We just received news that Prince William of England is on his way to Boston."
"It is said that Prince William came for this treasure, for the golden scepter and plantage gold crown of Richard the Lion-Hearted. What do you think of this?"
Upon hearing these questions, Xiao Ran immediately stopped.
He turned to look at the reporters, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, thank you very much for your attention."
"For today's exploration operation and the situation of this treasure, you can pay attention to the Internet."
"Later, we will release relevant videos taken during the exploration operation on the Internet."
"Through those videos, everyone will know something about this exploration operation and this treasure."
"Tomorrow, we will hold a joint press conference with the Boston City Government to publicly explain the situation."
Upon hearing this, many media reporters and onlookers at the scene nodded.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"As for Prince William coming from afar, we very much welcome him and believe we will have a pleasant meeting."
"I also understand the purpose of Prince William's trip to Boston. I hope he can achieve his purpose."
"Okay, that's it. I wish you all a good night. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Xiao Ran smiled and waved, and then led Elaine and the others straight towards the two medium-sized helicopters.
The surrounding media reporters and onlookers were unwilling to give up and kept asking questions.
Xiao Ran turned a deaf ear and did not give any response.
A few minutes later, two medium-sized helicopters took off one after another, roaring into the sky.
As soon as they took off, the two helicopters quickly rose to an altitude of three to four hundred meters, and then flew towards the roof of the hotel next to the park.
At the same time, the convoy on the ground also left the Central Cemetery, passed through the park, and drove quickly to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
The exploration camp in the central cemetery was still brightly lit and heavily guarded.
Relevant archaeological exploration operations have not been interrupted and are still continuing in an orderly manner.
In just ten minutes, Xiao Ran and the others had returned to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
After entering the suite, Xiao Ran immediately called David and Sam to the study.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the few land deeds he had found before and gave them to David.
"David, please find a way to investigate and see if these ancient land deeds are still legally valid."
"If these title deeds are still valid, then we must find a way to recover these pieces of land near London."
David reached out and took the land deed, then nodded and said:
"Okay, Sean, I'll contact my friend who is a lawyer in London and investigate the situation."
Xiao Ran nodded, then turned to look at Sam and began to tell him to strengthen security.
