While Fisher was stunned, Xiao Ran asked his employees to send photos of several Indian antiques to him.
At the same time, these exaggerated antique artifacts also appeared on the on-site projection screen.
Xiao Ran had prepared this trump card long before this meeting started, and now it was time to play it.
His purpose was simple, to prevent the British from bargaining and try his best to facilitate this heavyweight art transaction.
He does not plan to collect these Indian antiques, but plans to trade them all.
In this case, trading to the British is no different from anyone else.
Seeing these exaggerated Indian antiques, Fisher and several experts from the British Museum were all impressed.
Prince William and others at the scene could not quite understand these weird antiques.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half an hour has passed.
After some discussion and research, Prince William and Fisher finally made their decision.
Accept Xiao Ran's conditions and make a deal with him.
When Prince William came out of the lounge and told the decision personally, a look of ecstasy immediately flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes.
Counselor Wang and others who were also present were also beaming with joy and almost started dancing.
"Deal, Your Highness, I am very happy to cooperate with you."
Xiao Ran said with a smile, and reached out to shake Prince William's hand.
"Me too, Sean. It's a pleasure to work with you. You are such a tough guy!"
"For specific transactions, you just need to contact the British Museum. They can represent me."
Prince William said politely, but his teeth felt a little itchy.
"Okay, Your Highness"
Xiao Ran nodded in response and nodded to Fisher on the big projection screen.
After chatting for a few more words, Prince William suddenly changed the subject.
"Sean, I'm curious, when will you go to England to explore the secrets recorded on that sheepskin map?"
"One thing I must remind you is that if you want to carry out exploration operations in the UK, you must obtain relevant permissions."
Xiao Ran looked at the bald prince, pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"When we will go to the UK, I can't say right now. Maybe it will be at the turn of spring and summer next year, maybe later."
"You can rest assured that our company has always abided by laws and regulations and will only carry out relevant exploratory actions with legal permission."
Prince William nodded and then continued:
"That would be great. If you carry out relevant exploration operations in the UK, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again."
"The British Museum is a very good partner. You can sit down and discuss specific cooperation conditions."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran nodded immediately.
"Okay, Your Highness, I will consider your proposal."
Before he finished speaking, Fisher couldn't wait to continue:
"Sean, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate. As for the professional capabilities of the British Museum, you can rest assured that we have the most outstanding archaeological and cultural personnel in the world."
After chatting for a while, David and the British lawyer had drafted a transaction agreement.
Xiao Ran and Prince William took the agreement and looked at it carefully.
After confirming that there were no problems with the contract, Xiao Ran and the deputy director of the British Museum signed their names on the contract.
After signing the contract, Prince William immediately left and returned to the British Consulate General in Boston.
His lawyer and two entourages, as well as the cultural counselor of the British Consulate General in Boston, as well as the deputy director of the British Museum and others, stayed to promote the next step in the transaction.
After seeing off Prince William and returning to the conference room, Xiao Ran immediately said to Counselor Wang:
"Uncle Wang, you can contact the Cultural Office of the Embassy in the UK and ask them to help complete this important art transaction."
“In addition, relevant domestic departments and institutions must be notified so that they can cooperate and be prepared to receive them.”
"Please inform me of these matters. It is not convenient for me to come forward. As for the Forbidden City, the National Museum, and the old men of the National Library, I will inform them!"
Before he finished speaking, Counselor Wang nodded excitedly and said:
"This is what we should do, Xiao Ran, you are so awesome, you are simply amazing!"
"It is conceivable that once the Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret chamber are transported back to China, they will definitely cause a huge sensation!"
"From now on, in related academic research fields, we no longer have to look at the British, and we no longer have to worry about being constrained and misunderstood!"
"Our own country's history and culture must ultimately be interpreted and carried forward by ourselves, rather than being controlled by foreigners with ulterior motives."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran nodded proudly.
"Uncle Wang, this is the result I want! I am also willing to work hard for this goal!"
"We must have the right to speak about our country's history and culture, instead of letting a bunch of foreigners misinterpret it at will!"
When they said this, they used Mandarin, so there was no need to worry about the British and Americans present understanding them.
Afterwards, Counselor Wang took out his mobile phone and started to contact all parties.
He successively informed relevant units and leaders such as the Consulate General in New York, the Cultural Section of the Embassy in the United Kingdom, the Cultural Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and informed them of the results of the talks.
Not surprisingly, everyone on the other end of the phone was excited and cheered when they heard the news.
In the blink of an eye, the conclusion of this heavyweight art transaction has quickly spread to the ears of many people, and then caused a huge sensation in the country.
Faced with such a good thing, the relevant domestic departments and the embassy in the UK naturally cooperated fully to ensure that the Dunhuang scriptures, which are national treasures, can return to China as soon as possible.
While Counselor Wang was on the phone, Xiao Ran also dialed the number of Shan Lao from the Forbidden City.
At this time, it was midnight in the country.
Shan Lao didn't rest, he was waiting for Xiao Ran's call.
As soon as the call was connected, Mr. Shan couldn't wait to ask:
"Xiao Ran, how is the situation? Is the deal concluded?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile proudly.
"Good evening, Mr. Shan. I'm sorry to disturb your rest. As you wish, the deal has been successfully concluded."
"I have taken all the Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret room and they will be shipped to China soon."
"When those Dunhuang scriptures are shipped back to Beijing, I would like to ask you all to help them authenticate them."
Before he finished speaking, Shan Lao's excited and trembling voice came again.
"Did I hear you correctly? Your boy actually took all the Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret room in the British Museum. Isn't this a dream?"
"Hahaha"
Xiao Ran smiled proudly, and then continued:
"Old man, you heard it right, and you are not dreaming. Yes, all the Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret room can finally return to China."
"From now on, these Dunhuang scriptures will be collected in Beijing. No one can take them away, and no one can misinterpret our history and culture!"
"Okay! That's great. You have made another great contribution."
Shan Lao said tremblingly.
As he spoke, the old man choked up.
Next, Xiao Ran briefly introduced the transaction details and process.
And let the expert team in Beijing be prepared to receive and authenticate these national treasure-level Dunhuang scriptures.
Listening to his introduction, Mr. Shan beat his chest excitedly.
He took over all the notifications to the other old men.
Moreover, he vowed to immediately organize a top appraisal team to prepare for appraisal of these priceless Dunhuang scriptures.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran hung up the phone.
Next, he called his sister-in-law and Miller in Los Angeles to ask them to do the relevant work.
Not surprisingly, my sister-in-law was also extremely excited and cheered directly on the phone.
After making the call, Xiao Ran discussed the specific transaction time, steps, etc. with Fisher and others.
After Counselor Wang finished the call, he established a video connection with the Embassy in the UK to coordinate and discuss the transaction.
At this time, the Embassy in the UK has received domestic instructions and is ready to fully cooperate with Xiao Ran to complete this heavyweight art transaction.
What happened next went very smoothly.
Just an hour later, the reception team of the Cultural Office of the Embassy in the United Kingdom entered the Stein Chamber of the British Museum and began to supervise the British Museum staff to clean up the batch of Dunhuang scriptures.
The special Air China plane used to transport the batch of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures back to China has also been coordinated and can take off back to China at any time.
While the staff of the British Museum were cleaning up the batch of Dunhuang scriptures, Xiao Ran's employees were watching the movements over there through the video screen.
At the same time, Xiao Ran also took out a transaction list and handed it to the deputy director of the British Museum.
In the blink of an eye, the time has reached around 4:30 in the afternoon.
The cleaning work of the British Museum has been completed, and all the Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret room have been packed and are waiting to return to China!
After confirming that the quantity was correct and all the scriptures had been packed into boxes, Xiao Ran said excitedly:
"Fischer, you can arrange an escort team to send these Dunhuang scriptures to the airport."
"Staff from the Cultural Office of the Chinese Embassy will accompany them to escort the special plane transporting this batch of Dunhuang scriptures and it will be parked on the runway of Heathrow Airport."
"When the special plane flies safely to Beijing and the identification is correct, I will hand over Shakespeare's manuscripts and the historical documents of the Plantagenet family to Prince William, as well as the few Indian antiques."
Fisher paused, then nodded and said:
"Okay, Sean, you are so resolute and cautious at the same time!"
"I will immediately arrange an escort team to send these Dunhuang scriptures to Heathrow Airport."
Then the British took action.
The reception team of the Cultural Office of the Embassy in the UK followed the whole process.
Soon, it was around six o'clock in the evening.
The Dunhuang scriptures in Stein's secret room that had been plundered by the British and lost overseas for more than a hundred years have been safely transported to the airport and were all transported on the Air China special plane.
Immediately afterwards, the Air China special plane roared into the sky and flew towards the east.
The moment the Air China special plane took off, Xiao Ran, who watched this scene through the video, immediately let out a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.
Not only him, but also Counselor Wang and others in the conference room, as well as everyone at the Embassy in the UK.
There are countless people in the country, so why not!
