About an hour later.
Professor Xiao Ran and Professor Baker signed a supplementary agreement on behalf of both parties.
With the signing of this agreement, the subsequent exploration and cleanup of this colonial treasure will be led by the Yale University exploration team.
Xiao Ran's employees are on-site supervision and occupy a subordinate position.
However, the security work at the exploration site is still responsible for the security team led by Sam.
The ownership and disposal rights of all movable antiques and gold and silver treasures from this treasure house that can be moved to the ground belong to Xiao Ran, and this has not changed at all.
The ownership of the antique cultural relics integrated with the underground cracks, such as various stone sculptures and murals, belongs to the Adams family.
Furthermore, the archaeological rights of this treasure and related academic research rights belong to Yale University.
After signing the agreement, Professor Baker and the others all danced excitedly and cheered.
Next, they first informed the president of Yale about the latest situation and applied for support.
Then he couldn't wait to send out several exploration team members, equipped themselves, and entered this underground crack one after another.
They originally wanted to lead the team into it personally, but were dissuaded by Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran told them that they would have plenty of time to wait until the conditions were more mature before entering this underground crack to explore.
Considering their age and limited physical ability, Professor Baker and the others accepted the suggestion.
Although the agreement was signed, Xiao Ran did not leave immediately with Elaine and the others.
Instead, he continued to stay in the church and watched the ongoing exploration through the video screen.
As mentioned before, the value of this treasure is amazing, but the content is mediocre.
Hidden in the treasures are a large number of antique artifacts and murals from North American Indians, as well as countless gold and gems, etc.
Compared with the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas who are also Indians, the North American Indians have not even formed a civilization.
To put it simply, this is just a series of Indian tribes' treasures.
Xiao Ran did not study history and was not interested in the history of North American Indians at all.
Therefore, he has no interest in the so-called antique cultural relics and original murals in the underground cracks.
The reason why he is still here is entirely because of Prince William and John.
Before these people left, it was hard for him to lead the team and leave first.
While talking, nearly half an hour passed.
Prince William suddenly came closer and whispered to Xiao Ran:
"Sean, it's almost time. It's time for me to leave. Today is election day in the United States. There are a lot of things to do."
"Before I leave, I would like to ask, when can we sit down and talk about the transaction of the Plantagenet family relics and Shakespeare's manuscripts?"
"The main reason why I brought the team to the United States this time is to take back these treasures. I also came to the United States to observe this anxious election."
Xiao Ran turned to look at the British prince, thought for a moment, then smiled and whispered:
"Your Highness, I still say what I said before. As long as you can reach an agreement with Yale University, I welcome you to negotiate deals at any time."
"Whether it is a Plantagenet family relic or a precious manuscript of Shakespeare, I will choose to sell it, it just depends on when..."
Before he finished speaking, Prince William's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yale is no longer a problem. We can always reach an agreement and get their permission."
"I may go to Washington tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow, let's talk about this art deal."
"When I bring my people back from Washington, I will call you to determine a time and place for negotiations."
Xiao Ran then nodded slightly and said politely:
"No problem, Your Highness, I look forward to receiving your call."
After chatting for a few more words, Prince William led the people out of the church.
After seeing off the British prince, he returned to the center of the church.
Xiao Ran suddenly walked up to John and asked in a low voice, pretending to be curious:
"John, the main purpose of Prince William's trip to Boston should be Richard the Lionheart's battle ax and golden scepter and Plantagenet gold crown, as well as the Plantagenet family genealogy."
"I heard that he has contacted several of your big families before. I am very curious how you responded. Will you sell those priceless treasures to the British royal family or government?"
John paused, then shook his head slightly.
"We do not plan to sell those priceless treasures to the British royal family, but we promised William that we can let them have access to those priceless treasures and conduct relevant research."
"For our families, those priceless treasures have special meaning and will not be sold. Prince William and the British royal family can only accept this condition."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately chuckled.
This result was completely within his expectation and not surprising at all.
In the eyes of the Boston Brahmin family, the current British royal family is just that!
To some extent, these families are already above the British royal family, and they don’t care what the British royal family thinks.
This question was quite sensitive, so Xiao Ran only touched on it briefly and didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, John also led people out of the church.
Like Prince William, he also made an appointment with Xiao Ran to discuss the deal before leaving.
For the Adams family, the ongoing US election is the most important thing today.
The importance of this exploratory operation on their own territory is far different.
After John led the team away, Xiao Ran was also ready to take Elaine and the others back to the hotel.
Before leaving, he called Professor Baker and Professor Adrian aside and whispered to them:
"Gentlemen, there are some things I think it is necessary to remind you to avoid accidents."
Hearing this, several Yale professors couldn't help but froze for a moment and were a little surprised.
"Sean, if you need to be reminded of anything, just say it, we want to know."
Professor Baker nodded in response, eyes full of curiosity.
The rest of the people were the same, looking at Xiao Ran curiously.
"That's right. In the following exploration and cleanup operations, you must always turn on a few ventilation fans to constantly replace the air in the underground cracks."
"All exploration team members who enter underground fissures must wear a full set of protective equipment, and the time they work in underground fissures should not be too long."
"This underground crack is filled with corpses. The number is hard to count. I'm worried that there are some very bad toxins that will endanger everyone's safety."
"As we all know, one of the main reasons for the mass death or even extinction of North American Indians is the various fatal diseases brought by Western colonists."
"For example, smallpox and cholera, etc., this underground crack has been sealed for more than 200 years, and there will be some remnants inside if it is not preserved, so everyone must be especially careful."
Xiao Ran smiled and explained a few words calmly.
However, these words shocked everyone present.
"Ah! Smallpox and cholera?"
Following Professor Baker's exclamation, the faces of several Yale professors suddenly changed.
Immediately afterwards, these professors nodded in unison.
"Don't say it! This is really a possibility, why did we ignore it?"
"Especially smallpox! Many Indian tribes in Central and South America were completely wiped out by smallpox brought by Spanish colonists."
Several professors exclaimed one after another, their faces becoming much more solemn.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Baker nodded and said:
"Thank you for your reminder, Sean, we will pay attention to this aspect"
"If necessary, we will bring in some biopathologists from Yale to help."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"This is just my guess, just in case."
"Don't be too nervous, after all, more than two hundred years have passed."
After chatting for a few more words, he walked towards the place where his exploration team members gathered not far away.
When he came closer, he glanced at these guys, then smiled and said:
"Guys, I'm going to leave here and go back to the hotel to rest."
“In the future, I will come here every day to visit, but I won’t stay here for too long.”
"After cleaning up the antiques, cultural relics and gold and silver treasures in the treasure, I will deal with them on the spot and sell them all."
"After handling everything in the treasure, everyone can leave the icy and snowy Boston and return to the warm Los Angeles!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter and everyone laughed.
It's been a few months since everyone left Los Angeles, and they all want to go home.
What's more important is the weather. Boston is so cold in winter that no one wants to stay here any longer.
When the laughter subsided, Xiao Ran continued:
"Everyone divide into groups, into two big groups, plus the guys staying in the hotel, there are three big groups in total."
"From now on, everyone can take turns coming to this church to launch joint exploration operations. It is not necessary for everyone to stay here all the time."
"After completing the grouping, one group of people followed me back to the hotel to rest, while the other group of guys continued working here."
"At about 8 p.m., the guys who have been staying in the hotel will come over to take over from another group of guys, and the cycle continues."
"Got it, Sean"
Everyone responded with a bang and took action immediately.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then said goodbye to Professor Samuel and others.
These experts and scholars are standing in front of the big-screen TV, mesmerized by the scenes of exploration deep underground.
Not only that, they also took out their mobile phones one after another and kept taking video footage.
Regarding their behavior, Xiao Ran and Professor Baker did not stop them, and there was no need.
It wasn't until Xiao Ran came closer that Professor Samuel and the others reacted.
The faces of these guys turned red in unison, and they were still a little embarrassed. Some of them even secretly put away their mobile phones.
Xiao Ran turned a blind eye and said goodbye to them with a smile.
When they heard that he was leaving, these experts and scholars were a little surprised and were stunned for a moment.
But they reacted in a blink of an eye, and nodded in unison.
About ten minutes later.
Xiao Ran walked out of this Gothic chapel with Elaine, Fang Yufei, and a group of employees.
At this time, the heavy snow outside had stopped.
The whole world is white and the weather is getting colder.
