Chapter 402
Conference room.
Xiao Ran sat on one side of the conference table and looked at the three CIA agents opposite.
At the same time, the senior agent in his forties on the opposite side also looked at them curiously.
Especially Xiao Ran's youth, which shocked this guy.
The wealth of more than 10 billion US dollars he has made this guy envious and jealous crazy.
For safety reasons, Xiao Ran asked his subordinates to set up their mobile phones at the other end of the conference table and shoot live videos as evidence.
If the meeting does not come to fruition, the deal falls through, and the video is immediately deleted.
If an agreement is reached and a deal is confirmed, this video will be preserved and kept in Xiao Ran's hands.
This is a means for him to protect himself, in case these grandsons of the CIA turn their faces and turn their heads to find trouble.
After introducing each other and saying a few polite words, everyone immediately got to the point.
"Mr. Turner, I heard that you want to negotiate a deal with me, and I would like to know the content
of this transaction" "Before the meeting begins, I want to emphasize one point to avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings
" "Feilong Exploration Company is a law-abiding business and honest tax paying business, which can be found in the IRS
" "In view of this, every transaction made by our company is legal and must be legal!"
"Under this premise, I am willing to do business with any individual or enterprise and achieve a mutually satisfactory result,"
Xiao Ran said with a smile, clearly showing his posture.
This is also a precaution, in case these guys from the CIA fish for law enforcement, digging holes to make themselves jump.
Hearing this, the three CIA agents on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and a look of jealousy flashed in their eyes at the same time.
After a moment's thought, the guy named Turner at the head said:
"Mr. Sean, I understand what you mean, I will introduce you to the content of this deal
" "Whether you want to trade or not, it is your power, but I believe you will be interested!"
Xiao Ran nodded gently.
"Listen, I'd love to find out,"
Turner said, and then began his briefing.
"As far as we know, you have been committed to acquiring and collecting top Chinese antique art scattered throughout the United States
" "In order to get those antique works of art, you are willing to buy them at a high price, or exchange them for valuable Western antique
art" "Some time ago, you exchanged a lot of top Chinese antique art from the Library of Congress and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and sent them back to Beijing
" "As far as I know, You are in the two top museums in Beijing, there are two huge personal exhibition halls, which are being renovated and will open soon
" "At this time, you need a lot of heavyweight Chinese antique artworks to enrich your personal exhibition halls, as well as private museums in the future"
Xiao Ran did not deny it, but nodded in surprise.
"It seems that your intelligence work is very in place, worthy of being a famous CIA agent
" "Yes, I do have two top personal exhibition halls in Beijing, and I am also preparing to build a private museum
" "In order to enrich the exhibition halls and museums, I must acquire a lot of top Chinese antique art, which is also true"
While saying this, he also secretly raised his vigilance.
It seems that secrecy must be strengthened, otherwise sooner or later something big will go wrong.
After a pause, Turner continued:
"That's why we came to you, I believe we can reach cooperation
" "By chance, we found a very good batch of top Chinese antique artworks
" "Given the sensitive identity, we can't openly sell such things, it will cause a very bad impact and cause a lot of trouble
". So we want to sell these Chinese antique artworks to you, and we can sit down and negotiate the price, but it must be kept strictly confidential! "
Serendipity? Stop!
Xiao Ran almost didn't laugh angrily, and it was hard to hold back!
David and Sam, who were sitting on the side, had a flash of contempt in their eyes at the same time.
All three of them knew where the antique Chinese art in the hands of these CIA agents came from.
Do you still need to ask? These scum apparently raided the house of the Chinese antique dealer!
What fell into their hands must be not only this batch of smuggled Chinese antique art, but also all the goods in that antique shop!
Although he knew it, Xiao Ran did not intend to break it.
He didn't even have the slightest sympathy for the Chinese antique dealer who smuggled antique art to the United States and cooperated with others to plot against him!
Not only that, but he also personally killed the scum who had forgotten his ancestors and crushed his bones.
Now these CIA scum are coming to the door with that batch of Chinese antique art, ready to negotiate a deal with themselves.
If the quality of this batch of Chinese antique artworks is indeed excellent, Xiao Ran will still consider acquiring it.
Of course, it must be on the premise of ensuring its own safety.
He doesn't want to be fished and thrown into jail!
Once you are thrown into prison, it will be difficult to think about it again!
Even if you escape from prison, you will have to hide in the future.
Next, Turner briefly introduced the situation of this batch of Chinese antique artworks.
Because he is a complete outsider, his introduction is very general.
He only said the quantity, type and shape of those antique artworks, but he couldn't say what those treasures were, let alone the value of.
Even so, listening to his introduction, Xiao Ran was still shocked, and his heart was very excited, but he didn't show it.
Through Turner's introduction, he came to judgment in a blink of an eye.
These smuggled Chinese antique works of art are all unearthed cultural relics without exception.
It is likely that from the tombs of several different dynasties, the tomb thieves sneaked out of the ground, traveled to the United States, and then appeared before their eyes.
The Chinese antique dealer who was killed by himself is likely to have close ties with domestic tomb robbers or through some brokers.
Unfortunately, that guy has been blown to pieces, and there is basically no way to trace this clue.
In this case, it is difficult to dig up those tomb robbers hidden in the country!
Although he knew that there was little hope, Xiao Ran still wanted to try it, maybe there would be a miracle!
When Turner finished his introduction, he first pretended to think about it, and then nodded and said:
"It is undeniable that the batch of Chinese antique artworks you mentioned is indeed very tempting and impresses me
" "But your introduction is too general, and there is no judgment and conclusion on the authenticity and value of these things"
"In this case, I can't make a judgment at all, and I can't decide whether to trade with you
" "If possible, I'd like to see photos of this batch of antique artworks, and it would be nice to see the real thing,"
Turner nodded his answer.
"Today we came with great sincerity, hoping to reach this art deal with
you" "We are all non-professionals, we know this very well
" "So we took a lot of high-definition photos and videos, and also brought two physical objects
" "You can look at these pictures and objects, I believe you can make accurate judgments
" "They are in the backpack outside, you can bring them in and show them at any time!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately looked over at the door.
"Since you took high-definition pictures and videos, and brought two physical objects, then I would like to open my eyes
" "You can show it, after seeing the pictures and physical objects, I will decide whether to buy this batch of Chinese antique artworks!"
Without exception, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three CIA agents.
The next moment, Turner nodded hurriedly and said
, "No problem, Sean, we can show it here,"
and after that, he immediately turned his head and instructed the other agent a few words.
The guy got up right away and went outside to get the computer and the two antique artworks.
Xiao Ran had secretly opened his perspective and stared at the guy who walked out of the conference room to prevent the other party from making any moths.
Maybe it's a desire to get rich, these guys are quite honest and don't play any tricks.
In a few moments, the CIA agent had returned to the conference room with an iPad and two wooden boxes in hand.
The two mahogany boxes are from China at first glance, carved with cloud brocade patterns, but they are modern machine carvings.
However, the beautiful colors and light emitted by the two antique artworks contained in the box amazed Xiao Ran.
Returning to the conference table and sitting down, the guy immediately handed the two boxes to Turner.
Immediately afterwards, Turner looked at Xiao Ran and said expectantly:
"Mr. Sean, will you open these two boxes, or will I open them?"
"If this deal is negotiated today, we are willing to give you the antique artworks in these two wooden boxes!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, reaching out and making a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Turner, but it's a little too early to say
" "It's up to you to open these two wooden boxes and remove the treasures inside, I'm looking forward to seeing them!"
"Yes, Mr. Sean,"
Turner replied with a nod and opened the two mahogany boxes.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the contents of the box one after another and gently placed it on the table.
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a beautiful Bafang cup, and a dark red jade with a diameter of about 20 centimeters!
The moment he saw these two treasures, Xiao Ran immediately exclaimed in ecstasy.
"Purple mouth iron foot, gold wire iron wire of the kiln Bafang cup; The blood-stained Warring States jade is a proper national treasure! "
