N-A-A Chapter 515
Chapter 515
With the arrival of Xiao Ran and Prince William, the vicinity of the Massachusetts State Capitol suddenly became more lively.
The mayor and governor of Boston, along with a large number of lawmakers, flocked out of the capitol to greet Prince William.
After all, this is the future king of England, plus Boston's close relationship with the British Isles.
These high-ranking figures in Massachusetts and Boston naturally attached great importance to Prince William's visit.
Where will the many journalists who came to attend the joint press conference miss this opportunity?
They all raised their cameras or video cameras, pointed their cameras at the two helicopters whizzing in the air, and the prince's convoy along the mountain road, and kept pressing the shutter.
In a moment, the two medium-sized helicopters they were riding on had landed smoothly on the grass in front of the state capitol.
Following this, Prince William's motorcade also arrived at the square in front of the state capitol.
After the helicopter landed, Xiao Ran did not come out of the cabin at the first time.
Through the cabin window, he looked at Prince William's motorcade with interest.
"I'm about to meet this future British king later, I don't know if this highness is good at dealing with it, is it as gentle as seen in the news?"
Hearing this, David and Elaine both laughed.
"My dear, in terms of social etiquette, the royal families of European countries are almost impeccable
" "They can show their most perfect side in front of the public and maintain the so-called aristocratic decency" "
When you meet and talk with Prince William, you will feel like a spring breeze, but this is only superficial, don't take it seriously!"
Elaine said with a smile.
Just as Xiao Ran and they observed the prince's convoy, Prince William, who was sitting in a bulletproof SUV, also looked curiously at the two helicopters parked on the grass.
"Has this Chinese kid always been so high-profile? He is also not afraid to attract jealousy and hatred, what an interesting fellow,"
Prince William asked curiously.
Hearing this, the security supervisor sitting in the front passenger seat immediately said:
"We investigated this Chinese kid, and the truth is true
" "Since this guy became a professional treasure hunter, he seems to have completely forgotten the meaning of the word low-key
" "His style has always been high-profile, but thoughtful, and notoriously ruthless!"
"These characteristics add up to make this kid a strange complex of contradictions, which no one can figure out!"
As he spoke, the convoy slowly stopped.
On the other side, the propellers of the two medium-sized helicopters slowly stopped turning, and the hurricane disappeared.
Only at this time did Xiao Ran open the cabin door and take Elaine and them out of the cabin.
At the same time as they stepped out of the helicopter, Prince William also got out of the bulletproof SUV and landed on the square in front of the state capitol.
As soon as he landed on the ground and stood firm, he looked back at the two helicopters and looked at Xiao Ran.
The moment their eyes met, Xiao Ran and Prince William both smiled and nodded and said hello to each other.
Immediately afterwards, the governor of Massachusetts and the mayor of Boston greeted Prince William.
Jack led several other officials, as well as Professor Baker, and walked towards them.
After the meeting, everyone greeted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Immediately afterwards, Jack leaned in and whispered:
"Sean, the press conference is held at ten o'clock sharp, before that, Prince William wants to meet with you to discuss something"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately nodded.
"No problem, I'd also like to know what Prince William is looking for me
for" "As for the press conference later, I will arrange for my staff to attend and explain the situation"
Jacket paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, your meeting with Prince William, we will arrange a place
" "Let's go over and get to know Prince William
and them" said, and he led Xiao Ran and them towards the square in front of the parliament building.
As he was leaving, Xiao Ran suddenly asked in a low voice
, "Jack, have you made a decision about that parchment map and a few title deeds?"
"Are you willing to sell 30% of the interest and get $50 million?" Or share the risk with our company?
Jack turned to look at Xiao Ran, and did not respond immediately.
Xiao Ran smiled, and his expression was normal.
After a pause, Jack whispered:
"We haven't made a decision yet, we'll meet later to discuss this matter, we should be able to make a decision today, and we'll let you know then"
As he spoke, they had already arrived in the square in front of the parliament building.
Walking here, Xiao Ran first said hello to the mayor of Boston and others he knew.
Immediately afterwards, the mayor of Boston introduced him and Prince William to each other.
"Good morning, His Highness William, I'm Sean, nice to meet you,"
Xiao Ran said politely, and introduced David and Elaine.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I'm also a pleasure to meet you, congratulations on finding an amazing treasure"
Prince William was very polite and touched Xiao Ran's elbow lightly.
While greeting, His Royal Highness also looked at Xiao Ran curiously.
After everyone got to know each other and said a few polite words, the mayor of Boston smiled and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's enter the Capitol, please come with me,"
and he was ready to take Prince William and Xiao Ran into the Capitol.
At this moment, the media reporters standing outside the police cordon next to them immediately began to ask questions in a loud voice:
"Good morning, His Royal Highness, I am a reporter from the Boston Chronicle and welcome you to Boston
" "According to legend, your trip is for those Plantagenet family relics found yesterday, can you introduce the situation?"
A white journalist in his early thirties asked aloud.
Before the words fell, a female reporter immediately asked:
"Good morning, His Royal Highness, I am a reporter for Boston Public Television
" "There were many rumors on the Internet last night that the Plantagenet family, which once ruled Britain, had descendants in North America
" "What do you think of these rumors?" What does the current British royal family think? "
If the Plantagenet family bloodline is really handed down, will they be able to obtain the inheritance of the English king?"
With this sharp question, there was immediately a commotion at the scene, and there were many exclamations.
At the same time, everyone was also very excited, and their eyes lit up to look at Prince William to see how he would react.
Looking at Prince William again, his eyelids jumped, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he was almost broken by this question!
Fortunately, his cultivation is good, or the expression management kung fu arrived home, and he quickly adjusted his expression.
He did not answer any substantive questions, but smiled and said aloud:
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your attention, the weather in Boston is nice, I wish you a great day"
While saying this, he also waved his hand and said hello to everyone in the room.
Stop-and-go at your feet, you've climbed the steps of the state capitol.
Xiao Ran, who was also at the scene, watched the performance of His Royal Highness the Prince on the side, with a little smile in his eyes.
Elaine and Fang Yufei next to them all secretly snickered.
As he spoke, everyone had walked into the state capitol and disappeared from the sight of everyone outside.
About fifteen minutes later.
Xiao Ran and Prince William were already in a small conference room in the Houses of Parliament and began talking.
Also in the conference room were David and the British lawyer, as well as Jack, who represented the Boston City Government, and Professor Baker, who represented Yale.
After sitting down at the conference table, everyone chatted a few words before getting down to business.
"Mr. Sean, we are very interested in what you found yesterday in that underground palace in the central cemetery
" "Especially the historical documents and antique artifacts about the Plantagenet family, and the important manuscripts of Shakespeare
" "These things are all from England, and it was the British officers who buried them in the first place, so we want to recover these things,"
Prince William said with a smile, still with that gentle appearance.
Xiao Ran looked at the other party and immediately responded.
"Your Royal Highness, you may not know that some heavyweight antique artifacts found in that underground palace were auctioned off on the spot yesterday!"
"Among them are Richard the Lionheart's Tomahawk Golden Scepter and Plantagenet Gold Crown, as well as the Plantagenet family genealogy, etc."
"If you want to buy those heavyweight antique artifacts and artworks, I can't help now, you should go to the buyer who bought those treasures"
Hearing this, Prince William's face immediately froze, and in a blink of an eye, it recovered.
He didn't respond immediately, just smiled and nodded.
Of course, he understands these situations, and he will go to the buyers who bought those treasures one by one.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
"The remaining things related to the Plantagenet family in my hand are mainly some historical documents, as well as a few antique artifacts engraved with the Plantagenet family crest, and then those important manuscripts of Shakespeare
" "In view of the cooperation agreement signed between our company and Yale, in order to protect Yale's interests, these historical documents and antique artworks will not be made public for the time being, and I have not determined how to dispose of them."
"But one thing is certain, when Yale completes the relevant academic research, or reaches an agreement with the corresponding buyer, I will sell all these things, and then you can buy them from me
" "But to buy these historical documents and antique artworks, there is another condition, I tend to exchange them for top Chinese antique artworks,......"
Next, Xiao Ran put his thoughts and plans out, and also unabashedly showed greed.
You Britons want those treasures, then you must have the consciousness of being slaughtered!
Professor Baker, who was also at the scene, also echoed a few words, emphasizing the rights and interests of Yale University.
Jack also stated that a thirty-percent interest in these historical documents and antique artworks belonged to the Boston City Council.
Listening to Xiao Ran's introduction, coupled with Professor Baker's concurrence, Prince William's expression finally couldn't hold back.
His face changed several times during this period, but quickly adjusted back.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Let you pretend!
What a gentle aristocratic temperament, see how long you can fit!
When Xiao Ran finished his introduction, Prince William suddenly fell silent.
After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said:
"Sean, as long as you are interested in selling those historical documents and antique artworks, I believe we can reach an agreement
" "As for the Boston City Government and Yale University, I will negotiate with them and ensure their respective interests"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately nodded.
"Of course, that's better, under the premise of ensuring interests, I can sell
these treasures to anyone" "As long as the other party is legally acquired or exchanged, naturally including your British royal family
" "One thing I want to remind me is that these treasures are now restricted from leaving the country, and this problem needs to be solved by the buyer"
Prince William paused, and then nodded confidently.
"This is no problem, we can solve it, as far as I know, among the relics of the Plantagenet family, there is also a parchment map and a few title deeds
" "Since they are relics of the Plantagenet family, then I also want to buy them, if I can, I want to see these things first"
Before the words fell, Xiao Ran had shaken his head and refused the other party.
"I'm very sorry, Your Royal Highness, I don't plan to sell this parchment map and a few title deeds, nor do I plan to make it public
" "What secrets are hidden behind this map and several title deeds, it is not yet known, but I am interested in exploring
" "Ah!"
Prince William exclaimed, and couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't expect that Xiao Ran would refuse so crisply.
He didn't know exactly what that parchment map and a few title deeds meant!
