Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 253
Chapter 253
It was noon.
After visiting the preview of the art space auction house, Xiao Ran temporarily left the scammer auction house.
But instead of leaving the neighborhood, they went to a famous restaurant nearby for lunch.
The auction will officially begin at 2 p.m. and is estimated to last three or four hours.
At noon, I went back to the Plaza Hotel for lunch and rest, a little too rushed.
Because of this, Xiao Ran and they stayed near Lincoln Center.
As soon as their group came down from upstairs, they saw David with a briefcase, standing in the lobby of the office building.
After the two sides converged, David immediately lowered his voice and said:
“Sean, we have investigated clearly, the underground rights of the block you mentioned are in the hands
of the New York Subway Company” “When the subway was built at the beginning of the last century, the New York Subway Company acquired all
the underground rights of that block” “In the past hundred years, the owners of those old buildings on the ground have changed I don’t know how many times, but the underground rights have never changed”
The subway line located under that block was abandoned as early as the thirties of the last century due to unreasonable design”
Xiao Ran’s face immediately changed, and it was a little unpleasant.
After a moment’s thought, he whispered,
“Fak! It’s not good news
that the underground rights to that block are actually in the hands of the New York subway company” “You arrange for Mike and them to contact the New York subway company to see if they can buy the underground rights of that block?”
“I will send employees to cooperate with Mike, and we must pay attention to confidentiality when contacting each other, and cannot expose our identities and intentions
” “If necessary, you can temporarily register a leather bag company in New York, just to cover for us” David nodded and responded in a low voice:
“I also think it is necessary to register a company in New York, in that case, it will be much easier for you to do things in New York
” ”
As for Mike’s side, I’ll let him go check on the New York subway company, and the kid is careful not to leak secrets,”
and as they spoke, they had walked out of the office building and toward the reserved restaurant.
The rest of the day, they laughed and chatted over lunch.
At the end of the visit, Xiao Ran had already withdrawn from the live broadcast room, so naturally there was no need to worry about leaks.
While eating, he took out another mobile phone and looked at the few messages he received.
These messages were all sent by Fang Yufei, but they were relayed by Jin Lao’s private messages.
As for the content of the information, needless to say, it is all Jin Lao’s discovery.
At the preview of the art space auction house, Jin Lao still found some good things.
That’s why he reminded Xiao Ran to let him go back and take pictures of those treasures.
Looking at this information, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but laugh proudly.
Pulling Jin Lao and them into the live broadcast room by himself is definitely an extremely wise decision.
In this way, they can not only provide professional advice, but also help themselves to establish contact with major domestic cultural institutions and top collectors.
More importantly, Jin Lao’s existence can provide the most perfect cover for themselves.
In case someone becomes suspicious of themselves, thinking that their luck is abnormally good, and their sharp vision is a little too much, which leads to doubt.
Many top experts in antique artifacts and art appraisals, including Jin Lao, can stand up and provide the most powerful proof.
They can attest to their success because there are many top experts in antiques and art identification.
In this way, everything can be explained.
After lunch, the time had come to about half past one.
Xiao Ran and they immediately left the restaurant and went straight back to the art space auction house, ready to participate in the afternoon auction.
……
At two o’clock sharp, the auction started on time.
The auction venue is inside the Art Space Auction House.
During the midday break, the crooks in the art space set aside a space in the office area for auction purposes.
They set up more than 30 chairs in the venue for relatively powerful buyers.
As for the other buyers, they can only stand around and conduct auctions.
Everyone accepted this distinction and had no objection.
Xiao Ran and Elaine sat in the center of the first row, facing the auction table in front of them, which was very conspicuous.
They were also the focus of attention, and everyone was watching their every move.
Many guys are secretly rubbing their hands, ready to snatch a few treasures from Xiao Ran’s hands and try to get rich overnight.
But where do they know what exactly awaits them.
When all the buyers were in place, the winding-up auction began.
The auctioneer who presided over the auction was a white man in his early forties.
This guy is also clearly a dead liar, God knows how many people have been scammed.
After taking the stage, the scammer first introduced the auction rules, as well as the bidding rules.
After the rules are introduced, the auction officially begins.
The first group of artworks auctioned were the realist oil paintings that Xiao Ran had seen before.
These things are all imitations and fakes, of little value, but the auctioneer introduced the sky.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the group of artworks you are seeing now is six realist oil paintings
” “Including several works of the French Barbizon school, which have high artistic value and collection value
” “These six oil paintings are auctioned together, the starting price is 6,000 US dollars, which buyer should bid?”
At the same time that the auctioneer introduced the situation and gave the starting price, six high-definition pictures of oil paintings appeared simultaneously on the big screen at the scene.
Although Art Space is a scammer auction house, the preparations are still in place.
As soon as the starting price came out, all the buyers on the scene looked at Xiao Ran.
Everyone remembers that when he first walked into the auction house in the morning, he stopped in front of this group of oil paintings for a moment and commented a few words.
Among these six paintings, there may be one or two valuable works of art hidden.
Now that the auction has begun, everyone naturally turned their attention to Xiao Ran to see how he reacted.
If he raises his cards to bid, the guys who have made up their minds to follow the auction will immediately follow.
Those guys are making little calculations, trying to cut off their beards halfway and make him rich overnight.
Xiao Ran seemed to feel the gaze of many attention, and he raised the bidding number plate in his hand to live up to expectations and took this starting price.
Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.
Even more so with Wilson’s liars, everyone was smiling.
At the same time, there was a bit of contempt and disdain in their eyes.
In their opinion, these realist oil paintings have no value at all, are not worth collecting, and at most can be used as decorations.
Just such a few oil paintings, but Xiao Ran raised the card at the first time to ask for the price, and his eyesight was visible.
The legends that said that he had a very sharp vision before now seem to be exaggerated and even fabricated.
That is, he was very lucky, the blind cat touched the dead rat, and found some top antique artworks, so he was blown into the sky!
While overjoyed, Wilson’s liars were also much relieved, and they were not so worried about being picked up by Xiao Ran.
“Mr. Sean, the sixth buyer, has an offer, and the current price is $6,500, $6,500,……,” the
auctioneer said with a fluttering eyebrow, and nodded lightly at Xiao Ran.
For him, it was a good start.
Before the words fell, some people in the audience had already raised signs to ask for prices.
This is a professional treasure hunter in New York who is about thirty years old and has been keeping an eye on Xiao Ran before.
Seeing that the opportunity came, this guy was naturally unwilling to let it go.
This was followed by several more professional treasure hunters joining the fray.
Among these guys, one guy is the trustee of the art space auction house.
During the morning visit, this guy has been following Xiao Ran, and from time to time he will interact with Wilson’s dead liars.
Xiao Ran, who saw all this, still didn’t know the identity of this guy.
He didn’t pay attention to this guy as if he didn’t exist.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the first set of lots has reached $9,000.
Xiao Ran, who had been silent for a moment, finally struck again.
“$10,000”
he raised the price directly by a thousand, raising the offer to five figures.
It was like a shot in the blood of the rest of the competitors, and it made those guys suddenly more excited.
Without thinking, the guys followed suit, scrambling to raise their bills.
And several professional treasure hunters joined the fray, enthusiastically holding up their cards.
For a while, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely hot.
Fueled by everyone, the offer of the first set of lots was like a rocket, soaring upward.
Many buyers in the audience kept holding up their bids, and the bidding number plates rose and fell one after another.
There are also many guys who take the initiative to raise the price, the performance is very bold, and the scene is not lively.
However, Xiao Ran was completely silent.
He whispered and laughed with Elaine, as if forgetting that the auction was still going on.
When the price of the first set of lots approached $30,000, someone finally woke up and realized that something was wrong.
Those guys looked at Xiao Ran like an outsider, and they all felt a little surprised.
“What is this bastard doing Sean? Why didn’t it move, is this a pit? There
was a lot of talk and the atmosphere was changing.
While discussing, many people remembered some legends about Xiao Ran.
Thinking of this, those guys secretly snorted and were terrified.
They no longer dare to raise cards casually, lest they jump into the pit and lose until they vomit blood!
As more and more buyers discovered that the situation was wrong, the scene quickly cooled down.
Everyone looked at Xiao Ran, but no one raised any more cards to ask for the price.
Seeing his relaxed appearance, these spirits still don’t know what happened.
It’s a pit!
Sean this bastard deceived everyone, whoever took this set of oil paintings will definitely be pitted to death!
In the end, the sale price of this group of oil paintings did not exceed 30,000 US dollars.
“$29,000, deal”
asked three times in succession, and seeing that no one answered the price, the auctioneer immediately sounded the auction hammer.
“Bang!”
At the moment when the auction hammer fell, a wail immediately sounded in the back row.
“Fak! I’m a idiot!
At the same time, there was a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room.
