In the next two days, all the movable antiques and gold and silver treasures hidden in the underground cracks were cleared out by numerous exploration team members and brought to the surface.
As for the stone sculptures and a large number of murals that are integrated with this underground fissure, they can only be left deep underground and become the private property of the Adams family.
Xiao Ran and Professor Baker will perform secondary appraisals and evaluations on all antique artifacts and gold and silver treasures brought to the ground.
Give a positive identification conclusion and an accurate valuation.
Later, Xiao Ran will conduct an on-site auction and directly auction off most of the Indian antiques and gold and silver treasures.
The antique artifacts and gold and silver treasures that were unsold are only a small part of them.
After the private auction every day, Xiao Ran would take people to transport these antiques and gold and silver treasures to the bank vault for storage.
Antiques, cultural relics and gold and silver treasures that have not been delivered will also be sent to bank vaults for temporary storage.
Only when the corresponding buyer completes the delivery can he take away the antiques, cultural relics and gold and silver treasures that were photographed.
Of course, there is a premise here.
All buyers participating in the auction will sign an agreement with Yale University in advance to ensure Yale’s academic research rights.
Some of these important and special antiques and gold and silver treasures will even be loaned to the Yale Art Museum for a period of time after the delivery is completed.
Only after the Yale School of History completes relevant academic research can the buyer take away the antiques, cultural relics and gold and silver treasures that were taken.
Even so, all the buyers who participated in the auction were very enthusiastic and very generous.
These include top universities such as Harvard and MIT, Yale's old rivals.
Although they were full of dissatisfaction, they could only accept such conditions, and they did not want to miss such a good opportunity.
In two days, Xiao Ran gained an astonishing amount of wealth, as well as many high-quality Chinese antiques and artworks. The harvest was extremely impressive.
In addition, he still has a lot of Indian antiques and gold and silver treasures left in his hands, which can be disposed of slowly.
The value of these Indian antiques and gold and silver treasures is also very amazing.
In the blink of an eye, it's a new day.
It was just after nine in the morning.
Xiao Ran took Elaine and David to the Gothic chapel near Faneuil Hall again.
When they entered the chapel, Professor Baker from Yale University, the mayor of Boston, Jack, John from the Adams family and others were all gathered here.
Also present were several Indian chiefs, several history professors from Harvard University and MIT, and curators from several museums.
Except for some of the employees and security personnel who stayed in the hotel, all other members of the joint exploration team gathered here.
The exploration team members who cleared the underground cracks have all returned to the surface.
In particular, Xiao Ran's employees have taken off their protective clothing, taken off their safety ropes, and packed up various exploration equipment, ready to leave at any time.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others coming in, Professor Baker and others immediately came to greet them.
After everyone met, they exchanged a few polite words and then got down to business.
"Gentlemen, this joint exploration operation has reached this point, and our company's goal has been successfully achieved."
"All the gold, all movable antiques and gold and silver treasures hidden in this underground fissure have been cleared and processed accordingly."
“What’s left in this underground crack is an immovable historical and cultural heritage.”
"In view of this, starting today, our company will withdraw from this joint exploration operation."
"The next archaeological research work, as well as further exploration operations, will be taken over by the Yale University exploration team."
"And, of course, the Addams Family and the City of Boston."
Xiao Ran smiled and said loudly
The reason why he came to this chapel today was to do the handover, not to auction the antique artifacts and gold and silver treasures that had been cleaned up.
Seeing his high-spirited appearance, everyone present was filled with envy, including some who were jealous to the point of jealousy.
As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Baker continued:
"Sean, it's been a pleasure working with you, you're an amazing guy."
“Leave it to us to further explore and study this historical and cultural site!”
"I am certain that the discovery of this Indian sacred site must be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the history of the United States."
After saying that, Professor Baker stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Xiao Ran excitedly.
The two of them shook hands, symbolizing the end of their cooperation and the transfer of leadership in this joint exploration operation.
At this moment, John, who was standing aside, suddenly asked curiously:
"Sean, what are your plans next?"
"Should we return to Los Angeles or stay in Boston for a while?"
Xiao Ran turned to look at the big boss, then smiled and said:
"We may have to stay in Boston for a while. Quite a few of the antiques, cultural relics and gold and silver treasures that have been auctioned in the past few days have not yet been delivered!"
"Only when all delivery procedures are completed and money and goods are paid can we leave Boston."
"Beyond that, we have some other things to do in Boston."
As he said that, he glanced at the curator of the Gardner Museum.
Just last night, this old friend rushed to the hotel with several museum executives and discussed cooperation with Xiao Ran.
The cooperation mentioned here is to ask Xiao Ran to help find the top-notch artworks stolen from the Gardner Museum.
The price paid by the Gardner Museum for this was half of that of the top-notch works of art.
These included Vermeer's "Concert", several paintings by Degas and Manet, etc., which was exactly what Xiao Ran had requested before.
When he visited the Gardner Museum and proposed this cooperation condition, the top management of the Gardner Museum simply refused!
But as time went by, they gradually wavered!
In particular, the endless collection of antiques, cultural relics and gold and silver treasures in this colonial treasure gave them a great impact and gave them hope.
For them, if they cooperate with Xiao Ran, they may be able to recover the top-notch artworks that have been stolen for 30 years and find those damn art thieves.
That way, the Gardner Museum could get at least half of its top art back.
If you refuse to cooperate, you will get nothing, and those top-notch works of art may disappear completely and disappear into the sea!
It was precisely because of these considerations that the top management of the Gardner Museum changed their minds and came to discuss cooperation with Xiao Ran.
However, Xiao Ran did not immediately agree to cooperate or sign a cooperation agreement.
After the matter of this colonial treasure was settled, he was ready to learn about the shocking robbery before deciding whether to cooperate!
When he looked at the curator of the Gardner Museum, the other person nodded slightly at him.
They did not announce this cooperation, the time is not yet ripe!
Of course, some well-informed guys have already received the news.
For example, John, this guy also smiled and nodded.
While everyone was chatting, David and the others had already taken action to handle the handover with the lawyers from the Yale University exploration team and the Adams family lawyers.
In a short time, all handover procedures were completed.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran walked to the edge of the pit in the center of the church again and looked at the hole at the bottom of the pit.
While standing still, he turned on the perspective again and quickly explored the situation inside the underground cracks.
After some careful cleaning, this underground crack was much empty and somewhat deserted.
All the movable antiques, gold and silver treasures, and the massive amount of corpses that were originally hidden here were cleared out and disposed of.
The only things left in this underground crack are the immovable stone sculptures and a large number of murals, as well as some new security measures and so on.
After making sure that nothing was missed, Xiao Ran withdrew his gaze and ended the fluoroscopy.
Then, he turned to look at Professor Baker and others, smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, I leave this to you. Our mission has been completed and it is time to leave."
"If I come here again in the future, I will be a tourist and come here to visit."
"By then, I believe this place will have become another historical and cultural site in Boston, and it will be very lively."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene laughed.
Immediately afterwards, John continued:
"Yes, Sean, in less than a year, we will develop this place into the most unique underground museum in the United States."
"At the same time, it is also a sacred place for Indians. Until then, you, the discoverer, are welcome to visit."
"As long as anyone who has participated in this joint exploration operation can visit this museum for free for life."
"That couldn't be better. I look forward to the completion of this underground museum."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Ran extended an invitation to everyone present, inviting everyone to go to the hotel tonight to attend the celebration banquet of this joint exploration operation.
Naturally, no one would refuse his invitation, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran said goodbye and left the small church with Elaine, David, and many of his employees and security personnel.
When they left here, the Yale University exploration team immediately took over the place.
For a long time to come, the Yale University exploration team will conduct further archaeological research here.
The resulting academic research results will surely rewrite the partial history of North American Indians.
When Xiao Ran walked out of the small church with Elaine and the others, as well as many of his employees and security team members, everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if they were relieved!
Immediately afterwards, everyone's faces burst out with bright smiles, and everyone was excited!
The media reporters standing outside the church have all received the news at this time.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others coming out, the media reporters immediately began to ask questions loudly, as if they had been given blood.
"Good morning, Sean, I'm a reporter for Boston Public Television."
"Looking at your status, is this joint exploration operation over?"
A white reporter in his thirties asked loudly.
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then smiled and nodded.
"Good morning, this journalist friend, our company's goal has been achieved, so we are ready to leave here."
"But this joint exploration operation is not over yet. The next archaeological research work will be led by the Yale University exploration team."
"We will not participate in the subsequent research work,..."
After briefly introducing the situation, Xiao Ran waved goodbye to everyone present, and then took Elaine and the others into the bulletproof SUV.
A moment later, the motorcade started with a bang and drove away from the Gothic chapel.
Vermeer's "Concert"
