The next day, morning.
Just after nine o'clock, Japan's Vice Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and Mami Zenitani rushed to the hotel with a large number of top Chinese antiques, cultural relics and works of art, preparing to trade with Xiao Ran.
Obviously, these Japanese people can't wait and want to exchange for the Japanese antiques of Kikuichi Monmonori Sect as soon as possible.
Also arriving at the hotel were the emperor's special envoy and the prime minister's special envoy who had met before.
In fact, the person who led this transaction on the Japanese side was the emperor's special envoy, not the special envoy of the Japanese Prime Minister and the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
Unlike the Japanese who couldn't wait, Xiao Ran acted very relaxed and not anxious at all.
He didn't even bring the paintings of Kikuichi Mononorizono and Katsushika Hokusai to the hotel, but still kept those Japanese antiques in the bank vault.
The number of Japanese antique cultural relics and works of art is relatively small. Once the transaction is completed, just take the Japanese personnel directly to the vault to handle the handover.
When the time came to about 9:30, the ambassador to Japan and the cultural counselor rushed to the hotel with their people, ready to participate in and witness the upcoming transaction.
Later, Turner also brought people to the hotel.
They do not participate in the transaction process, but their appearance and existence can bring considerable pressure to the Japanese.
In addition, many media reporters who had received the news early rushed to the downstairs of the hotel, preparing to cover and report on this heavyweight art transaction.
Then there were the large number of Japanese people watching the excitement, as well as the many protestors, who blocked the hotel door early.
All of a sudden, the entrance to the hotel became very lively, like a vegetable market!
While many Japanese people were protesting and demonstrating loudly downstairs, the ambassador to Japan and the cultural counselor were standing at the window of the presidential suite, looking down at the scene below.
Even though they were used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, they were still speechless when they saw the scene downstairs.
"Xiao Ran's influence is really amazing. He has only been in Japan for a few days, but he has made such a big splash. It's really amazing!"
The ambassador to Japan said with emotion.
Hearing this, the cultural attaché in Japan couldn't help laughing.
"Who says it's not the case! Not only does this guy have an amazing influence, he is also very capable of causing trouble."
"No matter where he goes, he can stir up troubles, and Japan is no exception!"
"It's not surprising that the Japanese people downstairs are protesting. This time he took away many treasures from Tokyo. Can the Japanese not feel distressed?"
Before he finished speaking, the ambassador to Japan started laughing.
Xu Lin and Wang Jue, who were staying in the living room, also snickered and nodded in unison.
While talking, Xiao Ran, who had changed into formal clothes, walked out of the bedroom.
When he came to the living room, he smiled and said to the ambassador to Japan and others:
"Ambassador Chen, Counselor Liu, it's almost time. Let's go to the conference room."
"People from Japan have arrived, and the antiques, cultural relics and artworks used for trading have also been brought. It is time to start the transaction."
Upon hearing this, Ambassador Chen and the others immediately nodded.
"Okay, Xiao Ran, we also want to see what treasures you can get in exchange for this time."
"We will do our job well, witness this heavyweight art transaction, safeguard your interests, and safeguard the interests of the country."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, and then led them out of the presidential suite and to the conference room on the top floor.
In a moment, the group of them had arrived at the door of the conference room.
Seeing them coming, Anthony, who led the team guarding the door, immediately came up to them and began to report the situation.
"Sean, everyone involved in today's transaction from Japan has come to the conference room. Everyone's identity has been verified. There is no problem."
"We checked all the antiques and works of art they brought and scanned them with metal detectors. We found nothing unusual."
"Those guys from Turner are in the lounge. You can call them out at any time. The security of this conference room is now shared between us and the Tokyo police."
After listening to the report, Xiao Ran nodded slightly.
"Well done, tell all the guys to be vigilant"
"We went in, and after completing the transaction, we immediately rushed to the financial district."
After saying that, he walked towards the door of the conference room, opened the door and walked in.
David and Matthew, as well as the ambassador to Japan and Xu Lin, entered the conference room one after another.
The two Japanese lawyers standing outside the door bowed together and then followed in.
In the conference room.
Xiao Ran greeted the Japanese people involved in the transaction one by one and said a few polite words.
Since everyone has met before, it saves a lot of red tape on the scene.
After greeting each other, the two parties sat down on both sides of the conference table and prepared to start the transaction.
As soon as we sat down, the special envoy of the Japanese Prime Minister opposite suddenly said:
"Mr. Sean, may I ask, what are you going to do with the batch of gold you found at Yamamoto Antique Shop yesterday?"
"Although Director Qiangu and the others have said that you may not sell that batch of gold, I still want to ask about it."
"If you are willing to sell that batch of gold, our Japanese government can consider purchasing it at a premium of 20%. What do you think?"
Xiao Ran looked at the little Japanese, then smiled and shook his head.
"I'm very sorry. I don't plan to sell the gold I discovered yesterday. I plan to keep it myself and use it as ballast for our company!"
"I am willing to sell the rest of the Japanese antiques and artworks to you and trade them at market value."
"Of course, the paintings of masters such as Kikuichi Monzonori and Katsushika Hokusai are not included. Their situations are different."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the Japanese people opposite them all flashed with disappointment.
At the same time, these guys rolled their eyes angrily and complained secretly.
You bastard's abacus beads are hitting too loudly and you are too calculating!
You guys chose to negotiate for priceless treasures such as paintings by masters such as Kikuichi Mononorizonune and Katsushika Hokusai.
For the rest of the Japanese antiques and artworks of relatively low value, you chose to trade them at market value.
I want to get rid of all those Japanese antiques and artworks at once to save myself from trouble later!
You cunning guy, you think we are all fools!
Although they thought so in their hearts, Qiangu Zhenmei and the others were a little moved.
They still understand the value of the Japanese antiques and artworks in Xiao Ran's hands, and they also like some of them very much.
They understand that by packing up those antiques, cultural relics and works of art, not only will they not lose money, they can also make a fortune!
It can also add some good collections to the museum, which is actually more cost-effective.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the big screen TV in the conference room, and then said:
"Gentlemen, before the transaction can begin, I need to establish video contact with the expert team in Beijing."
"They will use high-definition videos to help me identify all the Chinese antiques and works of art that are traded to determine their authenticity and value."
Several Japanese people looked at each other, and then nodded in unison.
"No problem, Sean, you can establish video contact with the expert team in Beijing."
"We should know quite a few of these top appraisal experts in Beijing, and we can just catch up with them."
As a representative, Zenitani Mami nodded and said.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then nodded to Matthew and the others.
Those guys immediately took action and began to establish video contact with Beijing.
In just a few moments, the video call was established.
The next moment, Mr. Shan and Mr. Jin appeared on the big screen TV.
At this time, these old men were gathering in a conference room in the Forbidden City, preparing to start remote appraisal work.
Seeing several old men, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and waved hello.
"Good morning, old men, I would like to trouble you again to help me identify some treasures."
"Fortunately, it's still morning in China, so I don't have to worry about disturbing your rest."
Several old men waved to him, and everyone was excited.
The next moment, Mr. Shan smiled and said:
"Xiao Ran, you are so polite, we wish we had more trouble like this!"
"Thanks to your boy, we are going to have a good time today and appreciate the national treasure-level antiques, cultural relics and works of art that have been lost to Japan."
"When those treasures are shipped back to the country, we will conduct further appraisals, and we will be able to get hold of those national treasures."
Following Shan Lao's words, several other old men smiled and nodded.
At this time, they were all looking forward to it.
Next, Mr. Shan and the others greeted each other and said a few polite words to Mami Zenitani, Hasegawa and others.
As Mami Zenitani said before, they all know each other and can even be considered friends.
Later, Xiao Ran introduced Ambassador Chen and the others.
Then he introduced the special envoy of the Japanese Emperor, the special envoy of the Prime Minister and others.
Following his introduction, several old men far away in Beijing were secretly stunned.
They didn't expect that today's scene would be so big.
But when they thought of Kikuichi Monmonori Mune's special status in Japan, they suddenly understood.
After everyone got to know each other, they immediately got down to business.
Xiao Ran looked at the many Japanese people sitting opposite, then smiled and said:
"Gentlemen, since we are staying in a hotel, there are a lot of inconveniences."
"For safety reasons, I did not leave the paintings of Kikuichi Mononorizono, Katsushika Hokusai, and Francis Bacon in the hotel."
"These treasures are currently stored in the bank vault. After we reach a transaction agreement, we can go to the bank vault for on-site delivery..."
These Japanese people all understand what he said and accept this delivery method.
After all, this is Tokyo, Japan, and they are not worried that Xiao Ran will come to nothing.
The next moment, the emperor's envoy nodded slightly.
"No problem, Mr. Sean, we accept your arrangement and let's start trading!"
Xiao Ran nodded immediately and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"Okay, gentlemen, let's start trading. Please show us the Chinese antiques and art you brought"
"If these antiques, cultural relics and works of art are genuine, the transaction will naturally be completed smoothly."
The emperor's envoy nodded, then turned to look at Zenitani Mami, indicating that he could start showing off.
Qiangu Mamihayi sighed and quickly issued instructions to the cultural and museum staff next to him.
The next moment, two museum staff from the Tokyo National Museum lifted a box and placed it on the conference table.
Then he opened the box, carefully took out the treasure inside, and placed it on the table.
This is a heavy bronze artifact from the late Shang Dynasty and one of the two most important pieces of Chinese bronze artifacts collected in Japan.
What it depicts is a tiger squatting on the ground, hugging a person.
Or it can also be said that it is the posture of a tiger eating people.
The shape of this late Shang bronze is very unique and unique, and it is also very exquisite and complex, which is amazing.
The moment he saw this heavy bronze weapon, Xiao Ran stood up suddenly, his excited eyes shining brightly.
Several old men in the Forbidden City in Beijing were so excited that they all exclaimed and lost their voices.
"Awesome, this is the famous top national treasure, the tiger cannibal!"
"Xiao Ran, it's your boy who actually exchanged this national treasure among the national treasures!"
