Negotiations have been going on for more than ten minutes in the small conference room.
As Xiao Ran expected, under the pressure of the Japanese government and police, the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi was prepared to make compensation in exchange for Xiao Ran's ceasefire.
However, when the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi came up with a compensation plan and prepared to compensate in cash, Xiao Ran shook his head and refused.
For this result, the big bosses of the Yamaguchi-gumi seemed to have expected it and were not surprised.
"Mr. Sean, since you don't want cash compensation, can you tell me what you think?"
"As long as we can do it, we will definitely meet your requirements and end this conflict as soon as possible."
The boss of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi gritted his molars and said.
Following his words, the other Yamaguchi-gumi bosses nodded.
Xiao Ran looked at these old gangsters, pretended to think about it, and then said with a smile:
"I have a few conditions. First, you need to hand over a batch of Chinese antique cultural relics smuggled to Japan. This batch of Chinese antique cultural relics are mainly bronzes from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. They were unearthed not long ago."
"Now I can say clearly that the reason why I came to Japan this time is for this batch of smuggled antique cultural relics, and I also know that this batch of Chinese antique cultural relics was smuggled into Japan by the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi group."
"This batch of smuggled antiques and cultural relics does not belong to Japan in the first place. It was smuggled into Japan by the Kobe Yamaguchi Group together with some tomb robbers and cultural relic dealers. It is a very reasonable request for you to hand it over."
"Of course, you don't have to hand it over, then I can only find a way to get these smuggled antiques back. If any one of them is missing, you will have to pay a huge price. I hope you can understand this."
Many of the Yamaguchi-gumi bosses on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and then they all turned to look at the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi bosses.
The next moment, the boss of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Sean, we can hand over this batch of smuggled antiques from China, but it will take some time to recover them all."
"As far as I know, you found several of the smuggled antiques in Yamamoto's antique store in Tokyo and shipped them back to China."
"Except for a few smuggled antiques and cultural relics that you discovered, the rest of the cultural relics were not sold, but were just scattered in different places."
"Director Qian Gu of the Tokyo National Museum told us last night that you were probably here for this batch of smuggled antiques, and he guessed it right."
Following his words, the other Yamaguchi-gumi bosses also nodded.
Xiao Ran looked at the boss of the Kobe Yamaguchi group and continued with a smile:
"It doesn't matter. I can wait in Osaka. Anyway, I have nothing to do."
Hearing this, all the Japanese people on the other side were very angry and their teeth were itching with hatred.
"You crazy bastard, you come here to destroy Japanese cities in your spare time, so you come to Osaka to kill people for fun!"
After secretly complaining a few words, the boss of the Kobe Yamaguchi group said helplessly:
"Mr. Sean, after the meeting, we will immediately launch operations to deliver the smuggled antiques to you as quickly as possible."
Xiao Ran smiled and then continued:
"Of course that's the best. Now let's talk about the second condition. You'd better not smuggle antiques and cultural relics out of China in the future."
"Otherwise, I may bring people to Japan again to track down another batch of smuggled antiques, and maybe I will conflict with you again."
"As for you smuggling antiques, cultural relics and works of art from other countries, it has nothing to do with me, and I won't care about it."
Hearing his words, all the Japanese on the opposite side suddenly felt angry.
After calming down a little, Takahashi from the Osaka branch said:
"Mr. Sean, China has a long history of five thousand years, and there are countless antiques and cultural relics buried underground. Not every antique and cultural relic is related to you, right?"
"Is your request too overbearing? As long as we don't offend your interests, we won't have any conflicts."
Xiao Ran looked at the think tank of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi Osaka branch, and then said with a sneer:
"I might as well tell you something. I have reached a tacit agreement with the Chinese cultural relics authority in private."
"As long as I can recover the top-notch Chinese antiques and cultural relics that have been lost overseas, there is a high chance that some of these antiques and cultural relics will be displayed in my private museum in the future."
"In order to add a large number of top-notch exhibits to my private museum, do you think I will work hard to track down those heavyweight smuggled antiques?"
"ah!"
The Japanese on the opposite side all exclaimed in surprise, and they all froze on the spot.
How can it still be done like this? This is so unreasonable!
While secretly complaining, these Japanese people were very helpless.
At the same time, they also figured out one thing!
Xiao Ran was cooperating with the task force, overtly and covertly, all to recover these antiques and cultural relics smuggled out of China.
Next, several big guys from the Yamaguchi-gumi walked aside and discussed in low voices for a while.
When he returned to the conference table again, the boss of the Kobe Yamaguchi Group immediately gave the answer.
"Okay, Sean, we can accept your condition. From now on, we will no longer touch smuggled antiques from China."
"As for whether other gangs and organizations will smuggle Chinese antiques and cultural relics, we have no right to interfere, and we can't control that much."
"Okay, I hope you keep your promise, and I also hope we won't have any conflicts in the future."
Xiao Ran nodded in response.
Then, he suddenly changed the subject.
"Now we can talk about compensation. I'm not interested at all in the cash compensation you proposed. I have plenty of money!"
"I am very interested in several antique stores owned by the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi, such as Aida Antique Store in Tokyo, Miyazawa Antique Store in Osaka, etc."
"Don't say these antique shops don't belong to you. That's insulting my intelligence. I know some friends from the CIA, and they seem to have been eyeing these antique shops for a long time."
"And they also have evidence of various crimes such as reselling smuggled antiques and cultural relics in these antique shops and helping the Yamaguchi-gumi money laundering. They can raid these antique shops at any time."
"I want all the goods from these antique stores. Once I get them from these antique stores, the grudge between us will be completely resolved."
"ah!"
With a cry of exclamation, the Japanese on the opposite side suddenly stood up, as if they were electrocuted.
Each of them had a look of horror on their face, and their faces were pale.
Even the deputy mayor of Osaka and representatives of the National Police Agency were shocked.
What scares them is not that these antique shops belong to the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi, sell smuggled antiques and launder money.
But Xiao Ran was able to mobilize CIA agents to secretly monitor the affairs of these antique shops. This is terrible!
In Japan, the privileges of CIA agents are so great that there seems to be nothing they cannot do!
For those guys, Japanese law is just a decoration and has no effect!
Seeing the frightened expressions of these little Japanese, Xiao Ran and David laughed.
They understood that these Japanese had no way out and could only accept this condition.
While we were talking, another half hour passed.
The negotiations finally came to an end and a settlement agreement was signed.
Afterwards, many Yamaguchi-gumi bosses, the deputy mayor of Osaka and others said goodbye and walked out of the conference room.
As soon as they entered the elevator, several Yamaguchi-gumi bosses gritted their teeth and roared in low voices.
"Ba Ge Ya Lu! Sean, this damn bastard, is definitely doing this out of spite. It's so abominable!"
"This bastard swallowed up three of our antique stores in one go, and the three best-selling ones are not afraid of dying!"
Amidst the curses, the two elevators quickly left the top floor.
At this time, Xiao Ran and the others also left the conference room.
After returning to the presidential suite, Xiao Ran immediately issued a series of orders.
"Anthony, you arrange two groups of guys to protect Matthew and the others when they go to take over two antique stores in Osaka."
"The owner of Miyazawa Antique Shop died of a heart attack last night. There should be no problem receiving him."
"If another antique shop does not cooperate, you should contact Takahashi of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi Osaka branch and he will cooperate with you."
"After completing the receiving work, let the guys stay there. I will go over to check the situation of the two antique stores later."
"As for the Aida antique shop near Nihonbashi in Tokyo, it will be taken over by the guys who stayed in Tokyo..."
Next, he gave a few more instructions before letting Anthony leave.
Then, he called Matthew and others in.
Let them immediately organize two reception groups to take over the two antique shops located on Laosongtong Antique Street.
When Matthew left, he immediately took out his mobile phone and started assigning tasks to those men who stayed in Tokyo.
After a while, everything was arranged.
Several receiving groups took action one after another and started receiving work respectively.
The boss of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi Osaka branch and Takahashi, who had just left the hotel, were also calling their subordinates.
But their mood was very bad, and they were extremely depressed.
On the phone, they told many of their subordinates to bring out all the hidden Chinese smuggled antiques and relics and transport them to designated locations.
After collecting the smuggled antiques and cultural relics, they will hand them over to the Osaka police.
It was then handed over to the task force by the Osaka police, and then transported back to China by the task force.
Not only that, the Osaka branch of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi will also introduce a few scapegoats to spend a few years in prison.
In order to deal with the media, it also makes it easier for the police to make a fuss.
After arranging everything, David left the presidential suite and returned to his room.
After he left, Xiao Ran immediately took out the special satellite phone and started calling Ma Ming.
The call was connected in a blink of an eye, and Ma Ming's excited voice came immediately.
"How's it going, Xiao Ran, are your negotiations with the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi over? What was the result?"
Before the negotiation started, Xiao Ran sent Ma Ming a message.
In the message, he stated the conditions he planned to propose to the Yamaguchi group, and he was sure that he could force the Japanese to nod and agree.
And asked Ma Ming to inform the task force to be prepared to receive the batch of smuggled antiques and cultural relics.
Hearing Ma Ming's inquiry, he smiled proudly and said:
"Brother Ma, didn't I say before that I will definitely be able to force the Japanese to agree to the conditions I proposed?"
"The scumbags of the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi have no choice but to nod and agree. Prepare to receive those batches of smuggled antiques!"
Before he finished speaking, Ma Ming on the other side of the phone cheered excitedly.
"Awesome! Xiao Ran, you did this beautifully, you are really a powerful dragon crossing the river!"
