Chapter 471
Hearing that Counselor Wang had arrived, Xiao Ran immediately left the conference room and returned to the presidential suite.
David stayed in the conference room, accompanied the experts and scholars to visit the appraisal, and supervised the guys on site.
Prevent them from colluding in private, forming a united front, and joining hands to deal with Xiao Ran.
Those experts and scholars are all Yankees and they are very familiar with each other.
In the face of these two top-notch works of art that are priceless, this possibility still exists, even great!
Back at the door of the presidential suite, Counselor Wang had also arrived here.
This time in Boston, in addition to the security personnel, Counselor Wang also brought three staff members of the Cultural Department.
After everyone met, it was naturally polite.
Subsequently, Xiao Ran took Counselor Wang into the presidential suite.
The staff of the Cultural Affairs Department, but he asked his staff to take them to another room to rest.
Seeing this arrangement, Counselor Wang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This has never happened before!
No need to ask, Xiao Ran this is for the sake of secrecy.
What happens next can neither be seen nor heard by others.
Thinking about this, Counselor Wang's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of excitement.
After entering the presidential suite, Xiao Ran said politely:
"Uncle Wang, you give me your coat, I'll hang it for you"
Hearing this, Counselor Wang was stunned again.
But he did not refuse, but took off his coat and handed it to Xiao Ran.
After Xiao Ran took the coat, he casually hung it on the hanger in the foyer, and everything was very natural and flawless.
Later, he took Counselor Wang into the living room and said hello to Elaine and them.
After saying hello and making small talk, they walked into the study and began to talk about business.
As soon as he sat down in the chair, Counselor Wang
smiled and said: "Xiao Ran, congratulations, you have found two more top works of art, this matter has caused a huge sensation
" "Your luck is really against the sky, no matter where you go, you can find amazing treasures
" Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and said proudly:
"It was really a coincidence that I could find these two top works of art last night, and my luck was indeed good."
"I had a small appreciation meeting in the conference room on
the top floor, and when the meeting is over, you can go over and enjoy it" When the words fell, Counselor Wang immediately nodded and replied:
"Titian's paintings, Rodin's sculptures, are the top Western artworks, they are too rare, I really want to enjoy them
" "Last night, I received a call from the Ministry in the middle of the night, saying that you are going to use these two top works of art to make a deal with the Yankees."
Use them to exchange some national treasure-level antique artworks or ancient rare books lost overseas, and the ministry asks us to fully cooperate
" "I wonder what national treasure-level antique artworks you are going to exchange this time?"
"That's right, Uncle Wang, I am indeed ready to exchange these two top-level artworks for some national treasures"
Xiao Ran nodded and replied.
Next, he briefly introduced his plan, as well as the trading partners and trading goals.
Saying that, he took out his mobile phone and sent a list of transaction targets to Counselor Wang.
Looking at the many national treasures on that list, Counselor Wang was directly stunned.
His mouth is open, and he can stuff a fist into it.
After the shock, Counselor Wang excitedly waved his fist vigorously.
"It has to be you boy! Dare to think and dare to do, if you can exchange these national treasures back, it will be perfect!
"If you need any help, although your words are, the Consulate General in New York and the Boston Office will go all out
" "The Air China cargo plane you want has arrived at Boston Logan International Airport, you can use it at any time, direct flight from Boston to China
" Xiao Ran nodded, and then said:
"That's great, when my deal with the Boston Art Museum or Harvard University Museum is completed."
I will ship all the Chinese antique artworks I got in Boston back to China,"
Xiao Ran then introduced the national treasures found in antique shops such as Liuyunzhai and Bowenxuan, and handed the corresponding list to Counselor Wang.
Because these antique works of art have been lost overseas for tens and hundreds of years, there are many treasures that are prohibited from circulation and trade, such as bronze heavy objects.
In view of this, before transporting these antique works of art back to China, it is necessary to report to the Cultural Heritage Bureau to determine the origin of these treasures.
Such a thing is most appropriate by the owner of the Cultural Section of the Consulate General in New York.
Seeing this list, Counselor Wang was shocked again and became even more excited.
Afterwards, they discussed the transfer of a large number of national treasure-level antique works of art back to China.
During the conversation, Xiao Ran also made a request.
It is hoped that Counselor Wang will participate in today's transaction and witness and supervise on behalf of the Consulate General in New York.
The reason for this is all to elevate the level of this antique art deal, just in case!
The on-site supervision by the Consulate General in New York on behalf of the country will undoubtedly make the Museum of Art in Boston or the Harvard University Museum a little more afraid to play any tricks.
For such a good thing, Counselor Wang naturally would not refuse, and agreed to it.
The conversation lasted about fifteen minutes before it ended.
When he got up and walked out of the study, Xiao Ran sent out an invitation.
"Uncle Wang, let's go to the conference room together, the appreciation meeting is going on, you can admire the two top works of art"
However, Counselor Wang shook his head.
"Those two top Western artworks, I'll look back at them, there will be time in the afternoon
" "I'm going to go to the Boston office first, deal with some things, and come back later"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran had nothing to say.
He then sent Counselor Wang out of the presidential suite and into the elevator.
After Counselor Wang and them left, he went straight to the conference room and continued to communicate with the experts and scholars in the conference room.
Moments later, Counselor Wang and they had left the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
As the vehicle was moving, Counselor Wang quickly touched several pockets of his coat.
When he reached into the inner pocket of his coat, he suddenly paused.
Immediately afterwards, a bright smile appeared on his face.
......
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed.
Inside the conference room.
All the identification work for the two top works of art has been completed at this time.
After careful and careful appraisal, all appraisal experts and collectors on site agreed.
Xiao Ran's appraisal conclusions for these two top works of art are very accurate and there is no doubt.
"Venus in the Bath" on the easel is indeed a masterpiece by Titian, a master of Renaissance art and leader of the Venetian school.
It is a work that he paid tribute to his idol Giorgione when he was about 20 years old, which is very special and very precious.
Even more precious is that this "Venus in the Bath" clearly shows the process of Titian gradually escaping the great influence of Giorgione and embarking on the path of independent development.
This is a piece of evidence that Titian has embarked on the path of master, and it is of great significance.
As for the bronze undead sculpture, after Xiao Ran personally restored it to its original state and adjusted its display posture, it had already bloomed with brilliant light.
There is no doubt about the origin of this bronze undead sculpture.
Undoubtedly, this is the masterpiece of Rodin, the famous French sculptor, and it is also very rare and precious.
Everyone agrees with Xiao Ran's valuation for these two top artworks, and there is no objection.
Seeing that everyone reached a consensus, Xiao Ran immediately clapped his palms.
With
two crisp applause, everyone's attention was immediately drawn.
When everyone looked at him, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and said aloud:
"Ladies and gentlemen, since you don't have any questions about these two top artworks, I think we can move on to the next part and talk about the deal!"
Hearing this, everyone at the scene immediately understood!
Someone is going to be slaughtered, and he will be slaughtered!
But today is different.
The representatives of all parties at the scene all hoped that the person who was slaughtered today was themselves!
