Outside the hotel gate.
Countless Japanese people who came here after hearing the news, as well as many media reporters, have blocked the street in front of the hotel.
At this time, they were all staring at the hotel door with great anticipation, waiting for the outcome of the negotiation to be announced.
While waiting, these Japanese people were also talking a lot.
"The two special envoys and Director Sentani have been in the hotel for a while. I don't know how the negotiations are progressing. Did they exchange for Kikuichi Mononori Mune?"
"It should be no problem! Didn't that guy Sean say that as long as the conditions he set are met, he is willing to keep Kikuichi Mononorimune in Japan?"
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Who doesn't know! That guy Sean is famous for being greedy, and he will definitely open his mouth this time."
While there was a lot of discussion, many Japanese people looked worried.
In front of the Yamamoto antique shop near Kyobashi, Morita and several Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi bosses were staring at the Yamamoto antique shop in front of them.
At this time, the antique shop where Kikuichi Monzonori was discovered has been taken over by the police.
The police have launched a relevant investigation, and the antique store is full of police officers.
As soon as the Yamaguchi-gumi people tried to approach, they were chased away by the police and were not allowed to approach at all.
More importantly, Morita had just received a call from an informant at the National Police Agency.
The Japanese Police Agency has made a quick decision to investigate the Kobe Yamaguchi group's use of antiques to market stolen goods and launder money.
Not only that, there seems to be news coming from higher levels.
In order to successfully exchange for the artifact Kiku Ichimonji Norimune, the Japanese executives decided to give the Yamamoto antique store to that bastard Sean to facilitate the deal.
Everything in Yamamoto's antique store, regardless of value, will be given to that bastard Sean.
Of course, if there are very important Japanese national treasure-level cultural relics inside, they are not included.
After receiving the news, Morita was almost furious to death on the spot.
After hanging up the phone, he stared with blood-red eyes at the nearby Yamamoto Antique Shop.
At this moment, he wished he could rush into this antique store immediately and snatch everything away.
Especially those treasures that are stored in the vault and have not had time to be cashed out.
Thinking of those treasures, he suddenly felt his heart bleeding crazily!
After a moment of silence, Morita finally couldn't hold back his anger and cursed hysterically.
"Ba Ge Ya Lu! I swear, I will kill this damn bastard Sean"
Seeing his sudden outburst, the expressions of the other Yamaguchi-gumi bosses nearby changed.
The people who were eating melons a little further behind were startled.
At this moment, two criminal policemen in plainclothes suddenly walked towards Morita and the others.
Including Morita, the expressions of all the Yamaguchi-gumi bosses and leaders present at the scene changed instantly.
They knew these two criminal police officers. They were senior police officers from the anti-gang department of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and they happened to be in charge of gangs such as the Yamaguchi-gumi.
…
Hotel, conference room.
Looking at the transaction list handed over by Xiao Ran, the faces of several Japanese people were very ugly, and they were all as black as the bottom of a pot.
Every item on that transaction list is a national treasure-level antique work of art.
Although they all come from China, they are basically listed as national treasures and important cultural properties by the Japanese government.
Unless under special circumstances, these national treasure-level antiques and artworks cannot leave Japan, let alone be traded.
Among these national treasure-level antique works of art, including parts of the "Yongle Dadian" and the Dunhuang Sutra that were lost to Japan, each volume is extremely precious.
There are also the famous bronzes of the late Shang Dynasty, the tiger cannibalism; and the famous Southern Song Dynasty painting "Xiaoxiang Reclining Tour" and so on.
In addition to these, there is also the top Chinese antique art that Xiao Ran proposed to Qiangu Zhenmei in exchange for Francis Bacon's oil painting, which is also on the list.
For example, several fragments of oracle bone inscriptions, "Red and White Hibiscus Picture" by Li Di of the Southern Song Dynasty, etc.
As professionals, Mami Chantani and several other curators felt their hearts trembling when they looked at these familiar treasures on the transaction list.
During the inspection, they kept briefing the two envoys on the situation.
Tell the two so-called envoys about the antiques on the list and how precious they are.
As they were introduced, the faces of the two envoys became darker and darker.
It was only then that they truly realized how ruthless Xiao Ran was.
However, if the Japanese royal family and government want to take back Kikuichimon Norimune, it seems that the only option is to stick out their necks and be slaughtered.
Finally, several Japanese people finished reading the transaction list.
Immediately afterwards, they discussed a few words in a low voice.
Then, the emperor's envoy shook his head and said:
"Mr. Sean, you want too many treasures and your appetite is too big. We cannot accept this transaction condition."
“For example, the late Shang Dynasty tiger and man-eating beast is one of the two most important Chinese bronzes collected in Japan.”
"That treasure has long been listed as a national treasure of Japan and is not allowed to leave the country, let alone traded..."
As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Xiao Ran who smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Aoki, I also know that the Tiger Man-eating Beast is one of the two most important Chinese bronzes collected in Japan."
"But, didn't I want another piece of bronze, that bronze mirror with hunting patterns from the Warring States Period from China?"
"As for the man-eating tiger tiger being a national treasure of Japan and not allowed to be exported or traded abroad, I believe this is not a problem and will not be difficult to solve."
"You can make some choices about the Chinese antiques and artworks listed on this list, but you cannot deviate from this scope."
Hearing this, several Japanese people felt angry, but they were helpless.
"Baga! What a greedy bastard, a hundred times more hateful than the legend says!"
Several Japanese people were cursing secretly.
However, they could only vent in their hearts and did not dare to resort to it verbally.
Next, Xiao Ran discussed the antiques and artworks on the list with the Japanese one by one.
During this process, the faces of several Japanese people became increasingly ugly, with anger hidden in everyone's eyes.
At the end of the discussion, several Japanese people fell silent.
After a long time, the emperor's envoy said:
"Mr. Sean, we still need to discuss which antiques and artworks to trade with you, and we can't give an answer right away."
"You just said that there are conditions that we need to agree to in order for this deal to be possible. We would like to hear what these conditions are?"
Xiao Ran looked at the other party, then smiled and said:
"Mr. Aoki, the conditions I mentioned need to be kept strictly confidential at this stage and cannot be made public yet."
"In other words, I can't say these conditions publicly here, because it would be difficult to keep them confidential."
"We can go to the lounge. Once we enter the lounge, I will tell you what the conditions are."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the lounge next to him.
Following the direction of his finger, several Japanese people all looked towards the lounge.
The next moment, the emperor's envoy and the prime minister's envoy nodded in unison.
"Okay, Mr. Sean, we can go to the lounge to talk."
"That's great, but the only people who can enter the lounge are you two."
Xiao Ran nodded and said.
Then, he turned to David and nodded to the cultural counselor of the embassy in Japan.
They responded immediately and stood up from their chairs.
Next, Xiao Ran took them and the two Japanese envoys into the lounge next to them.
When he left the conference table, he did not forget to pick up the Kikuichi Monji norimune.
Seeing this scene, Qian Guzhenmei and others who stayed in the conference room were so angry that they clenched their fists hard.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
This much-anticipated negotiation has finally come to an end.
Xiao Ran and Japan reached a transaction intention, but the details of the transaction have not been finalized.
These Japanese people have to go back to have a meeting to discuss and decide which Chinese antiques and artworks to trade.
The Chinese antiques and artworks they put out for trading had to be confirmed by Xiao Ran.
Only when both parties reach an agreement can this heavyweight antique, cultural relics and art transaction be truly completed.
After the meeting, Xiao Ran took David and the others to the elevator in person.
Afterwards, several Japanese people said goodbye and left, going back to the meeting and discussion.
After they left, Xiao Ran immediately said to everyone around him:
"Guys, this hotel has been completely surrounded by Japanese people who are pouring in like a tide. It's full of water!"
"It will be very lively tonight. Everyone is at their best and ready to evacuate from the air at any time."
As soon as the words fell, Anthony and the others immediately nodded in response.
"Copy that, boss, we'll be ready!"
Next, Xiao Ran gave everyone a few more instructions before taking David and the cultural counselor of the embassy back to the presidential suite.
at the same time.
The emperor's envoy and others who had just come downstairs were surrounded by onlookers and media reporters guarding the door of the hotel.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Aoki, I am a reporter from NHK TV station. It is my honor to interview you."
"Excuse me, have you reached a trade agreement with Mr. Sean? Have you exchanged it for the legendary Kikuichi Mononori Sect?"
A middle-aged male reporter asked loudly.
Immediately afterwards, other reporters and onlookers also asked questions loudly.
"Aoki-kun, what deal conditions did that guy Sean propose? Can you tell us about them?"
"Mr. Ikeda, what is the attitude of the Prime Minister's Office towards this transaction? Can you introduce it?"
Faced with these surging questions, Aoki and the others could only stop and explain patiently.
When the Japanese at the scene heard that the two sides had only reached a preliminary agreement and that Kikuichi Mononori was still in Xiao Ran's hands, they couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
As for the transaction conditions offered by Xiao Ran, Aoki and the others did not disclose them.
They know that once those transaction conditions are made public, they will definitely cause an uproar and intensify conflicts!
