In a short time, several pieces of Indian antiques used for trade were all transferred to the ground.

After confirming that the items were correct, Xiao Ran handed over these antique cultural relics to the British man and signed the relevant agreement.

Immediately afterwards, the deputy director of the British Museum signed a loan agreement with the director of the Yale Art Museum, lending these antiques to the Yale Art Museum.

In the next period of time, these Indian antiques will be displayed in the Yale Art Museum for Professor Baker and others to conduct relevant academic research.

After they complete their academic research, these antiques will be shipped to the UK and displayed in the British Museum!

These things have nothing to do with Xiao Ran, and he is too lazy to care.

After handling this matter, Xiao Ran called his employees together and said to these guys:

"Guys, the next step is to clean up and transport the gold at the bottom of the underground cracks, and transport all the gold to the surface."

"During this process, everyone must be careful and always turn on the camera to capture everything passing by."

"Every piece of gold recovered from deep underground must be recorded and video taken. This is related to the interests of our company and cannot be missed."

"Security on the ground will be strengthened. You don't have to worry about safety issues, just do your job well."

Hearing his words, many exploration team members beamed with joy and immediately responded in unison:

"Understood, Sean! Don't worry!"

"This gold belongs to our company, no one can get involved with it!"

Seeing this scene, everyone else at the scene was filled with envy and jealousy.

Among them were some people whose eyes were red with jealousy, such as several Boston city officials and the pastor.

After the instructions, many exploration team members immediately took action, all of them high-spirited and full of energy!

At this time, representatives of the Adams family also arrived at the chapel and brought a large number of heavily armed security personnel.

These guys are here to receive gold and are naturally very cautious.

After the meeting, Xiao Ran briefly explained the situation to the representative of the Adams family.

He had a phone call with John and agreed on the trading time for the first batch of gold.

After making the call, he led the people out of the chapel.

Together with the president of Yale University and the deputy director of the British Museum, we went to the financial district of Boston not far away.

When they arrived, Prince William arrived in the Financial District with his entourage and security personnel.

Next, Xiao Ran took out all the Shakespeare manuscripts and historical documents of the Plantagenet family stored in the bank vault and handed them over to Prince William.

It was only then that this heavyweight art transaction was completely completed.

Prince William was visibly relaxed after receiving Shakespeare's manuscripts and the Plantagenet family's historical documents.

He instructed his appraisal experts to carefully examine these manuscripts and historical documents.

After confirming that the items were correct, the deputy director of the British Museum signed the acceptance document, bringing the transaction to a successful conclusion.

Immediately afterwards, Prince William shook hands with Xiao Ran and said with a smile:

"Sean, it's a pleasure to work with you. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again."

"Although you are very difficult to deal with, you are a person who keeps his promises. I am very happy to be your friend."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and said politely:

"Your Highness, I am also very happy to cooperate with you. I believe that we will have the opportunity to cooperate again."

"Britain is a country with a long history. I would like to go to the UK to explore and see if I can discover anything."

Hearing this, all the British guys present rolled their eyes angrily.

At the same time, they have also increased their vigilance.

After a few polite words, Xiao Ran said goodbye and left, taking David and others to return to the hotel.

As for Prince William and everyone at Yale University, they stayed in the bank conference room.

According to the agreement, Prince William cannot take away Shakespeare's manuscripts and Plantagenet family historical documents for the time being, and needs to loan these items to Yale University.

Both of them also need to sign a series of agreements, and then escort the manuscripts and historical documents to Yale University, or temporarily store them in a bank vault.

Xiao Ran left the bank feeling relaxed.

When a group of them walked out of the bank building, many media reporters waiting outside immediately swarmed up.

"Good afternoon, Sean. I'm a reporter for Boston Public Television."

"Excuse me, has the transaction between you and Prince William been completed? Can you introduce the situation?"

A beautiful reporter in her thirties asked loudly.

Before he finished speaking, another reporter from the media immediately asked:

"Good afternoon, Sean. I'm a reporter for the Washington Post."

"As far as I know, Shakespeare's manuscripts and Plantagenet family historical documents are strictly restricted works of art."

"If you trade these treasures to the British, does that mean the British will leave the United States with them?"

Reporters from other media who were also present at the scene also asked questions one after another, and they were all scrambling to answer the question.

Xiao Ran looked at these guys, then smiled and said loudly:

"Good afternoon, fellow journalists, thank you for your attention."

"Let me inform you that just now, the art transaction between Prince William and I has been successfully completed."

"Shakespeare's manuscripts and historical documents of the Plantagenet family, as well as some antiques involved in the transaction, now belong to the British side."

"In a short period of time, these antique artworks and historical documents should not leave the United States, but will be displayed in the Yale University Art Museum."

"As for whether they will leave the United States in the future, it depends on the negotiations between the United Kingdom and the United States. I don't know the answer!"

Following his answer, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately.

After answering a few more questions, Xiao Ran waved goodbye and got into the bulletproof SUV parked next to him.

After everyone else got on the bus, the convoy immediately started and drove away from here.

Looking at the fleet of cars that was quickly moving away, everyone was filled with envy and started talking about it.

Among the crowd on the roadside, there were also a few guys whose eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and their eyes were red with jealousy.



In the blink of an eye, it was already around 5:30 in the afternoon.

Inside the chapel.

Another bag containing a large amount of gold was hoisted to the ground and placed gently on the church floor.

At this time, the church floor was covered with bags filled with gold, as many as thirty or forty.

These sturdy bags are filled with gold ingots or gold sand, basically weighing about 200 kilograms, not much different.

After each bag is transferred to the ground, Xiao Ran will ask his employees to inspect it, register it in a book, and take a video to keep it as a file.

Of course, he would also look through all these bags to determine the quantity and quality of gold in the bags.

The numerous gold statues hidden in underground cracks, as well as other gold antique artifacts, are not included in this transfer and cleanup!

Naturally, Xiao Ran would not let go of the bag of gold that had just been transported to the ground.

As soon as the bag of gold was hoisted to the ground, he quickly looked through it.

The gold contained in this bag is some gold ingots of different shapes, and there are no antiques with higher value.

After confirming this, Xiao Ran immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Guys, come up and have a rest first. We'll continue cleaning up later."

"The remaining gold in the underground cracks will be cleaned up tomorrow, there is no need to rush now."

The next moment, there was a response from the intercom.

"Copy that, Sean, we're coming up right now"

Xiao Ran nodded, then turned to look at John who was standing aside.

At this time, the head of the Adams family was staring at the bags filled with gold on the ground, his eyes almost turning golden!

The Kennedy family, the Winthrop family, and several other heads of Boston Brahmin families who were also present at the scene also behaved in the same way.

Even these powerful Boston Brahmin families in the United States have probably never earned so much gold at one time, or even owned so much gold. Can they not be crazy about it?

In American history, no family seems to have owned so many gold reserves, at least not in name!

Those qualified to hold large gold reserves can only be banks, the Ministry of Finance, and other financial institutions, such as the Federal Reserve, which had previously traded with Xiao Ran.

The Rothschild family who came forward to buy the batch of NZ gold also came forward to purchase in the name of the Federal Reserve.

After they bought the batch of NZ gold, they did not put it in their own vaults, but replenished the Federal Reserve's gold reserves.

The reason for this is entirely because of US fiscal policy!

In order to restrict private ownership of gold, the United States even issued a gold ban, strictly prohibiting private ownership of large amounts of gold.

After 1974, this gold ban was lifted until today.

Even so, private ownership of large amounts of gold is actually strictly prohibited in the United States.

Once privately held gold exceeds five ounces, it will attract attention and investigation from relevant departments such as finance and taxation.

Nearly fifty years after the gold ban was abolished, it is said that the US government is preparing to restart the gold ban and once again strictly control private holdings of gold.

At this juncture, these Boston Brahmins were very excited to be able to harvest so much gold at once!

Naturally, they would not miss such an opportunity to significantly enhance their family heritage.

Seeing the performance of these wealthy family heads, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile proudly.

The next moment, he smiled and said:

"John, gentlemen, you can check the condition of this bag of gold and weigh it."

"After confirming the weight, we can trade, and we will get both money and goods!"

"As for the rest of the gold in the underground cracks, it can only be traded after it is transported to the surface."

Following his words, John and the others woke up from their obsession.

Immediately afterwards, several wealthy family heads turned to look at Xiao Ran.

"Okay Sean, we can trade now, this is really exciting"

"According to the agreement we reached, we will purchase the gold cleared today at a 30% premium to the market price."

"Half of the gold transaction amount will be immediately transferred to your bank account in China, and the remaining half will be transferred to your bank account in the United States."

John said excitedly.

Several other wealthy family heads standing nearby also nodded.

"Okay, John, let's get started."

With that said, Xiao Ran made a gesture of invitation.

Before he finished speaking, John and the others had already stepped out and walked towards the bag filled with gold.

What happened next went very smoothly.

In about fifteen minutes, today's gold transaction was successfully completed.

Soon, Xiao Ran had hundreds of millions of dollars in his two bank accounts in China and the United States.

The ownership of the gold in front of me has also changed accordingly.

After completing the transaction, John and the others immediately organized people to start transferring the gold, preparing to escort the gold to the underground vault of the Bank of Boston!

The matter of escorting the gold had nothing to do with Xiao Ran, and he was happy to stand aside and watch the fun!
