In the blink of an eye, it was already two days later.
In the past two days, the joint exploration team has been busy exploring all over the old city of Boston.
Unfortunately, they found nothing and never found the unknown colonial treasure.
Not only them, but also several exploration teams from Harvard University, MIT, and Tufts University also found nothing.
This result undoubtedly makes everyone feel a little disappointed.
Some are even saying that this unknown colonial treasure may not exist at all.
That treasure map handed down from the Revolutionary War was just a prank by some guy.
Others say that Xiao Ran's good luck no longer exists and it is difficult to find this legendary treasure.
Xiao Ran didn't pay attention to these remarks at all and just laughed them off.
When a new day arrived, the sky in Boston, which had been sunny before, suddenly changed.
As soon as we got up in the morning, everyone discovered it.
The sky outside was cloudy, and snowflakes were falling here and there.
By the time we had breakfast, the light snow had turned into heavy snow, and goose-feather-like snowflakes were flying and falling all over the sky.
Following this, the whole world became covered in silver and was extremely beautiful.
Seeing this scene, Elaine and Fang Yufei were very excited.
After breakfast, they immediately ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, admiring the snowy scenery outside and taking photos with their mobile phones.
When the time came to eight o'clock in the morning, Professor Baker and the others came to the presidential suite together.
After entering the door and sitting down on the sofa, Professor Baker immediately asked:
"Sean, it's snowing heavily outside today and the weather is very bad."
"Are we still going out to explore the colonial treasures, or are we going to rest in the hotel?"
Xiao Ran turned to look out the window, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, don't you think it would be fun to go out and explore the treasures in such a snowy weather?"
"I don't know what you think, but I really want to go out and do some activities. It can be considered a special experience."
"What's more important is that once the snow starts to fall in Boston, it often lasts for a day or two, and it falls very thickly every time."
"Then the snow will slowly melt away until next spring."
"While the first snow has just fallen and the snow is not very thick, I think we should seize the time to explore."
"When the snow becomes thicker and the ground freezes, then the real trouble will arise."
Upon hearing this, Professor Baker and the others all turned their heads and looked out the window.
After thinking for a moment, they all nodded.
"You're right, Sean, we should really seize the time to explore."
"The weather in Boston is the same as in New Haven. The snow is deep every winter and doesn't melt away until the following spring."
"I hope we can find the colonial treasure as soon as possible, otherwise, we may have to wait until next spring."
Professor Adrian nodded and said.
"Yes, gentlemen, that's what I thought."
"Given today's weather, I decided to adjust the location of today's exploration."
"Today we will not explore outdoors, we will only explore a few indoor locations to see if we can find anything."
Xiao Ran continued.
After chatting for a while, Professor Baker talked about another thing.
"Sean, just last night, Prince William invited Peter and several school directors to a dinner, during which some things were discussed."
"Prince William promised that if the British royal family purchased the historical documents of the Plantagenet family and the manuscripts of Shakespeare"
"Those historical documents and manuscripts can be stored at Yale University first, and after we complete the relevant academic research, they will bring those treasures back to the UK."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
"It can be seen that the British royal family is very determined to recover those historical documents and Shakespeare's manuscripts, and it is inevitable!"
Professor Baker nodded and then continued:
"The U.S. National Library and the Boston Library, as well as several other top museums and individual collectors, have also made the same commitment in the past two days."
"These cultural institutions and top collectors all have the same goal, and they all want to acquire those priceless historical documents and Shakespeare manuscripts."
"Of course, we at Yale also want these historical documents and manuscripts, but we're afraid they won't satisfy your amazing appetite!"
"What are your plans, and when do you plan to sell those historical documents and manuscripts?"
Following Professor Baker's words, everyone looked at Xiao Ran.
After pretending to think about it, Xiao Ran gave a response.
"Since you, Yale, have reached an agreement with Prince William and other parties, and you don't worry about your own interests being damaged, of course I have no objection!"
"I can release the historical documents of the Plantagenet family and Shakespeare's manuscripts, but I will only accept exchange!"
"The objects of exchange can only be top-notch Chinese antiques and artworks. As for who the transaction partner is, it doesn't matter whether it's the British royal family or the U.S. National Library."
"As long as the bargaining chip they offer can make my heart beat, then the deal can be concluded, and I will pass the news to all parties later..."
Upon hearing this, Professor Baker and the others couldn't help but have a look of disappointment in their eyes.
They knew in their hearts that Yale basically had no chance of possessing these priceless historical documents and Shakespeare manuscripts.
The reason is simple. The Chinese antiques and rare Chinese ancient books collected in the Yale Museum and Library simply cannot satisfy Xiao Ran's appetite.
Even the Harvard University Museum and the Boston Library cannot compare, let alone the British Royal Family and the National Library of the United States.
But fortunately, no matter who is the person or institution who finally obtains these historical documents and manuscripts, they must temporarily store them at Yale University for verification and research by Yale experts and scholars!
In this way, Yale's interests will not suffer any loss.
Everyone discussed the transaction for a while, and Professor Baker and the others just left to prepare for the upcoming exploration operation.
After they left, Xiao Ran immediately warned David.
Convey your meaning to the representatives of all parties and clarify the terms of exchange.
As long as it can meet its own trading conditions, any person or institution can find itself for trading.
As David passed on the news, the outside world immediately became commotion.
Some people and cultural institutions, including Prince William and the National Library of the United States, quickly took action.
At this time, Xiao Ran was firmly seated on the Diaoyutai.
nine in the morning.
It was still snowing heavily outside, and the entire Boston was completely covered in white snow.
Everyone thought that the joint exploration team would not take action today and would definitely stay in the hotel to rest and recharge their batteries.
But unexpectedly, the joint exploration team left the warm hotel, carried various exploration equipment, and braved the heavy snow to launch a new round of exploration operations.
When Xiao Ran and the others came out of the elevator and walked towards the hotel entrance, the few media reporters who were still waiting in the hotel lobby were stunned.
So Xiao Ran and the others were about to walk out of the hotel, and these guys just reacted.
Immediately afterwards, they quickly started asking questions loudly at the top of their lungs.
"Good morning, Sean, I'm a reporter from Boston Public Television. It's snowing so much outside. Do you still want to go out and explore for treasures?"
"Under the cover of snow, how did you find traces of the treasure? Can you tell me where you will explore today?"
A familiar-looking female reporter quickly caught up and asked questions loudly.
Before he finished speaking, another reporter asked another question:
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from The Times"
"As far as I know, Prince William has proposed to acquire those precious historical documents and Shakespeare manuscripts, but you have not reached an agreement."
"Excuse me, are you planning to collect those historical documents and Shakespeare's manuscripts? Or are you planning to sell them, but are unwilling to sell them to the British royal family?"
After hearing these questions, Xiao Ran immediately stopped and turned to look at these media reporters.
He glanced at these guys, then smiled and said:
"Good morning, fellow journalists, it's really hard work for everyone to come out to conduct interviews in such weather!"
"Today's weather is indeed bad, but it is also a special experience. By the way, you can also enjoy the scenery of Boston in the snow."
"As for the location of today's exploration, it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being."
"Let's talk about the antique artworks and historical documents in my hand, as well as Shakespeare's manuscripts."
"I am ready to sell these valuable treasures. The British royal family can naturally bid for them, as long as the price makes me satisfied."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hotel, ignoring the media reporters who still kept asking questions.
As soon as we came out of the hotel, a cold wind whizzed with snowflakes in our faces, hitting everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but shiver, and at the same time they felt a lot more energetic.
At this time, many vehicles from the joint exploration convoy were parked in front of the hotel, somewhat blocking some of the cold wind.
Due to the heavy wind and snow, there were no crowds of onlookers or media reporters outside the hotel.
The streets were empty with few cars and even fewer pedestrians.
Xiao Ran quickly took a quick look at the situation outside, and secretly looked through every car in the convoy, just in case something unexpected happened!
At this time, all vehicles in the fleet were put on snow tires to cope with the current weather.
And each vehicle is carefully inspected to avoid safety hazards.
After making sure it was safe, Xiao Ran smiled and said loudly:
"Guys, get in the car and go, I hope we can find something today."
After saying that, he took Yi Lian and Fang Yufei and boarded the bulletproof SUV in front of him.
Professor Baker and many members of the joint exploration team got into the car and loaded various exploration equipment into the car.
Immediately afterwards, the joint exploration convoy started with a bang and drove away from the hotel.
As the motorcade drove out, Xiao Ran gave the first destination of exploration today.
"Guys, let's go to Faneuil Hall, which is the so-called 'cradle of freedom.' I hope we can find something."
"Professor Baker, please inform Jack and the Winthrop family"
"Tell them that the joint exploration team will go to Faneuil Hall to explore today."
Xiao Ran picked up the walkie-talkie and said, with a smile flashing in his eyes.
After working so hard on the performance for so long, I can finally get to the point!
The heavy snowfall today came at the right time, just enough to cover up all the doubts.
"Copy that, Sean, I'll notify the Winthrop family and Jack right away."
Professor Baker responded, and so did the others.
In the blink of an eye, the joint exploration convoy rushed into the heavy snow and headed straight for Faneuil Hall on the Freedom Road!
