Chapter 305
The first to arrive at the Plaza Hotel were not the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the director of the Library of Congress.
It was the lawyer of the Pelosian family, and two other people sent by the mad old woman.
These guys came from San Francisco and Washington, D.C., and Baltimore.
As soon as they arrived in New York, they rushed to the Plaza Hotel as soon as possible, which shows the urgency of the mood!
In the study.
Xiao Ran is discussing with Counselor Wang the talks to be held later and formulating negotiation strategies.
At this moment, Sam's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Sean, the lawyer of the Pelos family came to the hotel with two people, and this will be in the lobby on the first floor"
Hearing the report, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned.
Immediately copied the walkie-talkie and replied:
"Received, Sam, I didn't expect these guys to move quite fast, and the mood is obviously very urgent!"
"You send someone to take the other person to the small conference room on the top floor, I will meet them there, and don't forget the security check!"
"No matter who the other person is or where they come from, they must go through security checks, and they must not carry weapons and eavesdropping equipment
" "Mobile phones must be left outside the conference room, and if they do not accept these conditions, I will not meet them
" The voice fell, and Sam immediately responded:
"Understand, Sean, I will tell the other party your request
" "Don't worry, we will search those guys thoroughly"
Listening to this conversation, Counselor Wang and they were all stunned, and their eyes showed a bit of surprise.
What surprised them was the arrival of the Pelos' family lawyer and Xiao Ran's attitude towards these guys.
How did they not expect that the current hot Pelosian family in the United States would be involved in this matter? It's incredible!
Immediately afterwards, Counselor Wang suddenly thought.
Isn't the Library of Congress, which houses 40 volumes of the Yongle Classic, under the direct control of that crazy old woman of the Pelos!
Then I thought that the series of scandals that happened in San Francisco before caused a sensation in the United States.
At that time, Xiao Ran happened to be in San Francisco, and found the treasure of Songshizhai, returned with a full load, and made a big profit!
Now it seems that Xiao Ran had dealt with the Pelosian family at that time, and he had pinched the other party's handle.
Because of this, he dared to boast about Haikou.
Use Delacroix's "Dante's Ark" triptych in exchange for those 40 precious copies of the Yongle Classic.
In the blink of an eye, Counselor Wang was stunned, and a smile appeared on his face.
However, he did not ask anything more, but remained silent.
Something like this is still tacit.
What's more, David is also in the study, so be more or less careful.
The next moment, Xiao Ran suddenly got up and said:
"Uncle Wang, you guys sit here first, I'll go and meet with the lawyer of the Pelos
" "Whether the exchange of the "Yongle Classic" can be done, the key is not the director of the Library of Congress, but in another heavyweight big
man" "That big man is greedy by nature, this is easy to do, the more greedy she is, the more likely this matter is to succeed!"
These words were said in Chinese, and David couldn't understand them at all, so naturally they wouldn't spread out.
"Hahaha, you kid is such a thief!"
"Go get busy, we're waiting for good news here,"
Counselor Wang said with a smile and a nod.
Later, Xiao Ran took David out of the presidential suite and went to the small conference room on the top floor.
When he left the suite, he did not forget to tell Elaine and them.
A moment later, Xiao Ran and David had entered the small conference room, where they were waiting for the guys from the Pelosian family.
After about three or four minutes, the elevator doors on the top floor opened.
Led by two personal bodyguards, the Pelos' family lawyer and two others got out of the elevator and walked straight to the conference room.
The expressions of these three guys were very ugly, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and their eyes were full of anger, but they had to endure it.
Within three or two steps, they had reached the door of the conference room, but were stopped by Sam at the door.
"Gentlemen, for the sake of strict confidentiality, please hand over your
mobile phones" "Or you leave someone outside to keep your mobile phones and other items"
Hearing this, these guys of the Pelosian family immediately became angry and almost broke out on the spot.
Before entering the elevator, they underwent a security check, saying it was for safety.
They had to take out the pistols and recording equipment they carried with them and hand them over to the bodyguards in charge of security.
That scene, don't mention how embarrassing it is!
As a result, there was a second security check, asking them to leave their phones outside the conference room.
This is simply infuriating, and entering the Pentagon is not so strict!
What kind of big man is this bastard Sean, as for being so cautious?
Thinking of this, the two guys from Washington and Baltimore have their eyebrows raised, and they are ready to go crazy.
But the lawyer stopped them and whispered a few words in Italian.
The two guys gritted their teeth and nodded, then took out their mobile phones and handed them to a bodyguard.
Then, under Sam's lead, they walked into the small conference room.
Everything that happened here fell into the eyes of the FBI.
In the monitoring room of the Plaza Hotel.
Through the surveillance system, an FBI agent who was staring at the situation on the top floor was confused.
"Who are these Italians? Why are Sean's guys so cautious, like thieves?
"Won't you just meet, these Italians actually have to go through two security checks, and the previous mafia scum didn't have this treatment!"
While puzzled, the FBI agent quickly took screenshots of the surveillance video and sent them to colleagues in the bureau to investigate the identities of the three Italians.
After a few moments, the colleagues in the bureau gave a reply.
The colleague issued a direct warning.
"Man, stay away from these Italians, the farther away the better, it's better to act as if you didn't see them!"
"These guys are from the Pellos family, and behind them stands the old woman on Capitol Hill
" "Everyone knows that that old woman is notoriously crazy, and we can't afford to mess with it!"
Hearing this, the FBI agent in the monitoring room couldn't help but snort, secretly shocked.
Immediately afterwards, he asked the hotel security staff to completely delete the video so as not to get into trouble.
He was ready to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and what happened at the Plaza Hotel today, he didn't hear anything, didn't see anything!
Small meeting room.
After entering the door, Tony introduced the names of the two companions, but did not say where they came from, what position and other identification information.
Obviously, the identities of those two guys are more sensitive.
Until no agreement is reached, the true identity information should not be revealed.
But how did the three Italians know that they had not yet entered the conference room, but they had been clearly seen by Xiao Ran's perspective.
From the documents they carried, such as driver's licenses, he instantly understood where they were coming from.
In addition to Tony, the other two guys are from Baltimore and Washington.
The guy from Baltimore, surnamed Alejandro, is apparently the maiden family of the crazy old woman, most likely a member of the mafia.
The other guy is from Capitol Hill, with relevant documents on him, and should be the henchman of the crazy old woman!
Since the other party was unwilling to reveal his identity, Xiao Ran was also happy to pretend to be a fool.
After getting to know each other and pretending to be polite and polite, the two sides immediately entered the topic.
"Mr. Sean, you invited us to New York and said that you wanted to negotiate a deal with us that would benefit both parties
" "What exactly is this deal?" I'm very curious, can you elaborate on the situation? "
If this deal really benefits both parties and isn't illegal, we can sit down and talk,"
Tony said curiously.
Xiao Ran looked at the other party, and then went straight in.
"The deal I am talking about is to exchange the romantic master Delacroix's "Dante's Ark" triptych for 40 ancient Chinese
documents in the collection of the Library of Congress" "Those ancient documents are the "Yongle Classic", some historical documents lost in China, I am very interested in those historical documents and want to collect them myself
" "I believe that the Library of Congress must have an electronic version, that is, they take out those ancient documents to trade, There will be no loss
" "On the contrary, they can get three pioneering works of the Romantic school, all of which are priceless, and this is definitely a very good deal"
When he said this, he did not mention a word of the crazy wife.
Not to mention getting the crazy old woman to come forward and get the Library of Congress to agree to the deal.
However, the meaning is very clear.
As long as you are not a fool, you can understand his subtext.
Tony didn't respond immediately, but fell into deep thought.
After a moment, the guy said consciously or unconsciously:
"Even if this deal is done, it is your deal with the Library of Congress
" "What do we get in this deal?"
Xiao Ran laughed softly, and then threw out the bait.
"My purpose is the 40 volumes of the "Yongle Classic", after completing the transaction, how to deal with the "Dante Ark" triptych, I will not care!"
"Also, I have a less important video in my hand that will be completely destroyed!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the three Italians suddenly lit up.
