After a while of exclamation, several British guys were stunned.

Including the deputy director of the British Museum, who couldn't help but nod.

"You're right, Sean. The discovery of these precious manuscripts of Shakespeare will indeed change a lot of things."

"Any person or institution that obtains these precious manuscripts will become an academic authority in the relevant research fields."

"There is no doubt that these Shakespeare manuscripts are priceless treasures and are of great historical and cultural research value."

Hearing this, Prince William and others nodded.

Clearly, they all felt the same way and recognized the immense value of Shakespeare's manuscripts.

Xiao Ran smiled softly and then continued:

"I'm going to exchange it for the Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret room, not just these manuscripts of Shakespeare."

"The historical documents of the Plantagenet family discovered previously are also included in the transaction. You should be very clear about the value of these historical documents."

"The Plantagenet family has ruled Britain for hundreds of years. Everyone thinks that the bloodline of this family has been cut off, but this is not the case."

"These historical documents of the Plantagenet family record many unknown secrets, which are worth studying."

Before he finished speaking, several British guys on the opposite side started to exclaim in unison.

Especially Prince William's eyes suddenly lit up and shone brightly.

When he came to Boston this time, his main goal was the historical documents of the Plantagenet family.

There is also the golden battle ax scepter of King Richard the Lionheart and the Golden Plantagenet Crown, as well as the Plantagenet family tree.

Compared with these things, Shakespeare's manuscripts are not that important, and can even be given up!

Prince William knows very well how important these relics of the Plantagenet family are to the British royal family!

If these things cannot be taken down smoothly, they will fall into the hands of some people with ulterior motives, or they may fall into the hands of the US government.

In that case, they will become a huge hidden danger, and the consequences may even be unimaginable.

When the Windsor dynasty becomes extinct, or is artificially extinguished, trouble will arise.

At that time, someone may introduce a so-called descendant of the Plantagenet family to steal the British throne under the banner of the Plantagenet family.

Something like this happened more than once in British history.

The current British royal family never wants to see such history repeat itself, nor does it want to give up the British throne.

Because of this, Prince William rushed to Boston as soon as possible to try to seize the Plantagenet family's relics and eliminate security risks.

"Sean, since you mentioned the historical documents of the Plantagenet family, can you let us take a look?"

"Only after we have read those historical documents and determined their authenticity and value can we decide whether to trade with you."

Prince William said eagerly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Xiao Ran looked at the other party, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Of course, no problem, Your Highness, I took some documents today, you can take a look."

"But before looking at this part of historical documents, I need to recover these precious manuscripts of Shakespeare."

"You should have no doubts about the authenticity of these manuscripts, and I believe you also realize their value."

As he spoke, he pointed to the precious manuscripts in Prince William's hands.

Prince William paused, then nodded and said:

"No problem, of course you can take back these precious manuscripts"

"Until the deal is officially concluded, these manuscripts of Shakespeare still belong to you."

While saying these words, Prince William closed the stack of yellowed manuscripts and handed them over reluctantly.

Not only him, but also the other British guys all had the same expression, with eyes full of reluctance.

Xiao Ran reached out and took the stack of manuscripts, sorted them briefly, and put them back into the portable safe.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a document bag from the safe and handed it to Prince William.

"Your Highness, here are some historical documents about the Plantagenet family."

"This information involves some Plantagenet family secrets and it is recommended that you read it alone"

Prince William took the document bag, paused for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Okay, Sean, I'm very interested in these historical documents."

With that said, he sat back on the chair.

Then he gently opened the document bag and began to look at the historical documents in the bag.

The British guys on the left and right looked at the yellowed historical documents curiously.

But they were very sensible and did not come up to check the information.

They know in their hearts that it is better not to know some things, otherwise they will be asking for trouble.

The conference room became quiet, and everyone looked at Prince William and the yellowed historical documents.

In just a moment, Prince William's expression suddenly changed and became extremely solemn.

But he didn't say much, he just widened his eyes and looked at the document in his hand.

Obviously, the contents of that historical document shocked him quite a bit.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran's eyes immediately flashed with a proud smile.

After another moment, he smiled and said:

"How about it? Your Highness, are these Plantagenet family historical documents of sufficient weight?"

"What you see now is only part of the information. The remaining documents may contain more important things."

"Shakespeare's manuscripts, coupled with the historical documents of the Plantagenet family, I believe we can definitely exchange the Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret room."

Upon hearing this, Prince William immediately looked up and closed the document in his hand.

However, he did not respond immediately.

After thinking deeply, he nodded and said:

"It is undeniable, Sean, that these historical documents of the Plantagenet family are indeed very important and precious."

"Especially for our royal family, they have very special meaning, and we are willing to pay a certain price to recover these materials."

"However, I cannot say whether this heavyweight art transaction can be completed, and I still need to discuss it with the British Museum."

"The Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret chamber are an important collection of the British Museum. Whether they agree to the transaction depends on their decision."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then continued:

"I understand what you mean, Your Highness, and I also believe that the British Museum will agree to this deal."

"The Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret chamber are almost never on display, and the British Museum has electronic versions of the documents."

"Instead of putting those Dunhuang scriptures in a warehouse to eat dust, it is better to trade them. This way you can get more with one stone."

Hearing this, Prince William and others nodded.

Obviously, these British guys are tempted.

Looking at the deputy director of the British Museum, he was a little hesitant and still undecided.

Xiao Ran looked at this person, smiled and continued:

"Through the transaction, the British Museum can obtain a large number of Shakespeare's drama manuscripts, which will become the treasures of the British Museum."

"At the same time, the British royal family will get the historical documents of the Plantagenet family. Why not do this?"

After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet again.

Everyone looked to the deputy director of the British Museum, waiting for him to make a decision.

After a while, the British guy said:

"Sean, whether to trade with you or not, I need to discuss it with the curator and others before I can make a decision."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately nodded and said:

"Of course, no problem. You can have a video connection with the director of the British Museum and others here, or you can go to the lounge next to you to make a call. We can wait."

As he spoke, he pointed to the door of the lounge.

The deputy director of the British Museum turned his head and looked over there, then stood up and said:

"I'd better call first to inform you of the situation, and then talk about the video connection."

"Okay, as you wish"

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, reaching out to make a gesture of invitation.

Later, the deputy director of the British Museum and an entourage of Prince William walked into the lounge to make a phone call.

As soon as they walked away, Prince William suddenly asked curiously:

"Sean, as far as I know, among the Plantagenet family's relics, there is also a sheepskin map and several land deeds."

"Can you let me see that map and those land deeds? I'm very interested in those things."

"If those things are really related to the Plantagenet family, I hope they can be included in this deal."

Before he finished speaking, Sean shook his head firmly.

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness, that sheepskin map and several land deeds now belong to me completely. I have bought the rights and interests owned by the Boston City Government."

"I am a professional treasure hunter. I am very interested in the contents of that sheepskin map and several land deeds. If I have the opportunity, I may go to the UK to explore it."

"In view of this, I will not sell the sheepskin map and the land deeds. They are not among the tradable items."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You are going to explore England. Could it be that that sheepskin map is a treasure map?"

Prince William asked with eyes shining.

The rest of the people were the same, with curious eyes.

Xiao Ran looked at these guys and then nodded.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but the possibility is not high!"

Following his words, the scene suddenly became more lively.
