As time went by, more and more people gathered in front of the hotel, and the scene became more and more lively.
The people gathered here, especially the many media reporters, were staring at the hotel door, waiting for the transaction results.
At this moment, the hotel door suddenly opened, and a group of heavily armed Tokyo police officers poured out of the hotel.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the general manager of the hotel, the emperor's special envoy, the prime minister's special envoy and others walked out of the hotel one after another.
However, none of Xiao Ran and his many men showed up.
Seeing the appearance of the Emperor's envoy and others, many media reporters gathered behind the cordon began to shout questions at the top of their lungs.
"Good morning, Mr. Ikeda, I am a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun. It is my pleasure to interview you."
"Excuse me, has the transaction between you and Sean been completed? Can you introduce the situation?"
A female reporter bowed and asked.
Before he finished speaking, another male reporter asked another question:
"Good morning, Mr. Special Envoy, I am a reporter from NHK TV station"
"Excuse me, where do the paintings of Kikuichi Mononorizon and Katsushika Hokusai belong now? Have they been exchanged?"
Other reporters also asked questions loudly, and the scene was noisy.
Those who were watching the excitement were staring closely at the emperor's envoy and others, looking forward to the best answer.
The emperor's special envoy, the prime minister's special envoy and others did not respond to questions from media reporters, but just waved and said hello to everyone present.
The ones who stood up to respond to the media reporters were Mami Senetani and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.
They briefly introduced the transaction situation to all the Japanese and media reporters present.
The legendary second most famous sword in Japanese history, Kikuichimonji Norimune.
As well as antique artworks such as paintings by Master Katsushika Hokusai, they all now belong to Japan, as long as the delivery is completed.
But they did not explain how much Japan paid in exchange for these antique cultural relics and works of art.
If they tell the details of the transaction, it will definitely shock all Japanese and even lead to a lot of verbal criticism!
Following the introduction of Zenitani Mami, the audience immediately burst into excited cheers.
At this moment, a huge roar of a helicopter engine suddenly came from the roof of the hotel.
Hearing this sound, everyone at the scene looked up to the sky.
The next moment, people see it.
Two medium-sized helicopters roared from the roof of the hotel and flew into the sky.
At the same time, a heavily armed escort convoy drove out of the hotel's underground garage and onto the street outside.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood instantly.
This is Xiao Ran's escort team. He is going to escort the antique cultural relics and artworks he just exchanged to the bank vault.
Realizing this, many people were suddenly filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, and their eyes turned red.
The two envoys and Mami Zenitani also looked up at the sky, and then ended the question and answer.
Afterwards, these guys got in the car and left, heading straight to Tokyo's financial district.
This escort operation went very smoothly without any trouble.
Soon, it was an hour later.
JP Morgan Chase Bank Tokyo Branch, conference room.
Matthew and the others moved boxes and painting bags of different sizes into the conference room one after another.
After everything was moved in, Xiao Ran picked out a long box about two and a half meters long and two painting bags, and placed them on the conference table.
Then, he pointed to the things on the table and said to the many Japanese people present:
"Gentlemen, you can start inspecting the goods. What is contained in this long box is none other than the second most famous sword in Japanese history, Kikuichi Monji Norimune."
"The two painting bags next to it contain paintings by Master Katsushika Hokusai and paintings by Francis Bacon."
"The rest of the boxes and painting bags contain other Japanese antiques and artworks on the transaction list, and there are quite a few of them."
Following his words, all the Japanese on the other side beamed with joy and excitement.
The next moment, the emperor's envoy suddenly bowed and said excitedly:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Sean, for discovering the legendary Kikuichi Mon Norizon and other Japanese antique artifacts and works of art. Thank you very much for trading these treasures to us."
Before he finished speaking, the special envoy of the Japanese Prime Minister and Mami Zenitani also bowed to Xiao Ran.
Even if they are extremely reluctant in their hearts, even if they are itching with hatred, the article on the surface is always in place.
"You're welcome, gentlemen, this is a win-win deal for both of us. Everyone gets what they need."
"I am also very satisfied with this trip to Tokyo. I have received many surprises. I can say that it was a worthwhile trip."
Xiao Ran said politely.
Hearing these words, every Japanese person on the opposite side suddenly felt a twinge of pain.
After a few polite words, the Japanese began to conduct appraisals.
The first antique cultural relic they identified was none other than Juichi Monji Norimune.
When the emperor's envoy excitedly took out Japan's second-famous sword, all the Japanese present bowed ninety degrees to Kikuichimonji, showing great respect.
If the on-site environment did not allow it, these Japanese people would definitely kneel on the ground and kowtow.
After bowing, these little devils began to conduct appraisals.
Needless to say, there is no problem with the paintings of Kikuichi Monnomune, Katsushika Hokusai and Francis Bacon.
The rest of the Japanese antiques and artworks are also genuine, and each one is valuable.
The slightly valuable Japanese antiques and art objects that Xiao Ran discovered in Tokyo this time were all traded to the Japanese to save them from trouble in the future.
Several museums in Japan are also very happy to acquire these Japanese antiques and artworks.
What they traded was basically Chinese antiques and artworks collected by various museums, as well as a small amount of cash.
As for antiques and artworks of relatively average value, as well as second-hand luxury goods and a large number of famous watches, jewelry, etc.
They are processed separately, and some are sold locally in Japan to many Japanese antique dealers.
Some are shipped to China and the United States respectively and used as company inventory to be disposed of later.
It didn't take long for the Japanese to complete the identification work and found no problems.
Subsequently, both parties signed the relevant documents, bringing this series of art transactions to a successful conclusion.
After completing the delivery, the emperor's envoy and others came forward and bumped elbows with Xiao Ran.
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Sean. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again."
"What are your plans next? When are you going to transport away those gold, antiques, cultural relics and works of art?"
"Are you leaving Japan soon, or will you continue to stay in Japan?"
The emperor's envoy said politely.
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then nodded with a smile and said:
"It's a pleasure to cooperate, Mr. Special Envoy. We enjoyed our time in Japan very much, and I also believe that we will have the opportunity to cooperate again soon."
"I will soon arrange for my men to transport the harvest from this trip to Tokyo and transport them to Beijing, but I will not leave Japan immediately."
"Next, I will take people to Osaka, and maybe Kobe and other places to appreciate the customs and customs of these places, and see if there are any surprising discoveries by the way."
"Ah! Do you want to go to Osaka, Kobe and other places?"
The Emperor's envoy and others all exclaimed in surprise and almost broke the defense on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, a look of fear flashed in the eyes of these guys.
You are an extremely greedy bastard. Not only did you loot the antique market in Tokyo, you also want to loot the antique markets in Osaka, Kobe and other places. How abominable!
The emperor's envoy and others cursed secretly, and they all felt itchy with hatred.
Mami Chantani, Hasegawa and others who knew something about the situation shook their heads helplessly.
At the same time, they also began to observe a moment of silence for Osaka Antiques.
After chatting for a while, these Japanese people just said goodbye and left, taking away the Japanese antiques and artworks they had just exchanged.
As soon as they left, Xiao Ran immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Anthony, are those armored escort vehicles here? If they are, we will take action immediately."
The next moment, Anthony gave an affirmative answer.
"Roger, Sean, all the armored escort vehicles are in place and parked in front of the bank building."
"The CIA Tokyo Branch and the U.S. Forces Japan Command are ready to assist us in the escort operation."
Xiao Ran nodded and immediately issued the order.
"Okay, guys, get ready to load the gold and antique artworks into the car and go to Haneda Airport."
As soon as he gave the order, everyone took action immediately.
About an hour and a half later.
Everything to be transported from Tokyo has been loaded onto the convoy.
Immediately afterwards, the heavy-duty escort convoy left the Tokyo Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank and sped straight towards Haneda Airport.
As soon as this heavy-duty escort convoy appeared on the streets of Tokyo, it immediately caused a huge commotion.
There is no other reason. The lineup of this escort team is so luxurious!
In addition to numerous armored escort vehicles and bulletproof SUVs, there are also four US Marine Corps armored personnel carriers equipped with heavy machine guns.
Those escorting Tokyo police cars were not even qualified to get close to the escort convoy. They could only stay on the outside and be responsible for opening roads and so on.
In the sky above this heavy escort convoy were two medium-sized helicopters and a U.S. military Black Hawk helicopter serving as air escort.
Seeing the lineup of this heavy-duty escort fleet, the people on the streets of Tokyo were shocked and stunned.
Some guys lurking in the darkness, staring at Xiao Ran with ulterior motives, were frightened!
Such an escort lineup instantly dispelled all their wishful thinking.
Some guys who originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to rob have completely stopped, and they don't dare to show up anymore!
Soon, this heavy-duty escort convoy arrived at Tokyo Haneda International Airport smoothly without any trouble.
Due to the special pass issued by the US military headquarters in Japan, this heavy-duty escort convoy drove directly into the Haneda Airport apron.
As soon as the motorcade entered the apron, Xiao Ran saw it at a glance.
Two Air China cargo planes were parked on the two runways in the distance.
The Cultural Counselor in Japan and others who arrived at the airport early were standing under a cargo plane!
