Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 376
Chapter 376
“Which old friends?”
Xiao Ran asked in surprise.
Thomas, who was standing on the side, was also full of curiosity.
The next moment, Marven’s voice came again.
“It’s Charles from Bonhams, and Scott from Christie’s, and a few guys
from the FBI Art Crime Unit” “They came from different directions, but arrived here at the same time
” “Charles and Scott want to go upstairs to meet you, and the guys from the FBI want to find
out about the situation” Hearing the report, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but sneer.
After a little hesitation, he nodded and said:
“Got it, let Charles and Scott come up
” “As for those guys from the FBI, it is estimated that the comers are not good, David will go down to deal with them
” “Received, Sean”
Marven answered, and then ended the call.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran nodded gently at David.
David instantly realized, and then walked towards the door with his briefcase.
The next moment, Xiao Ran took out his mobile phone and glanced at a message he had just received.
The message was sent by Wu Tianyu, and the content was very simple, only one sentence.
“I’ve boarded my plane to Seattle, take off right away, bye!”
This message was received more than ten minutes ago, and Xiao Ran didn’t bother to check it.
Seeing the content of the message, he couldn’t help but flash a smile on his face.
According to time calculations, Wu Tianyu’s flight had already taken off at this time and left New York.
Even if the FBI bureau in New York wanted to use him to make a fuss, it was impossible for the time being.
For a moment, the FBI guys may not have thought of this.
After reading the information, Xiao Ran casually deleted this message, and then took Thomas and them to the restaurant together.
Due to the large number of people in the apartment, everyone can only take turns to eat lunch.
In this way, there are just enough seats in the restaurant.
As soon as he sat down, Sam led Charles and them into the apartment.
Seeing the two old friends come in, Xiao Ran could only get up and greet them.
“Sean, I heard that this guy of yours has found another amazing treasure, it’s incredible!”
“Can you tell us about the situation? Let’s see if we have the possibility of working together again?
As soon as they met, Charles said enviously.
As they said this, they also saw the antique artwork and the many portable safes placed in the living room.
The next moment, the eyes of these two guys suddenly lit up and shone brightly.
Xiao Ran first touched his elbow with them before he began to introduce the situation.
“It’s not actually a treasure, it’s just a collection of this Chinese family
” “I’m more interested in these things in their collection, so I shot it and bought them all at a high price!”
“The clean-up and identification work has not yet been completed, and there is no cooperation yet”
Hearing this, Thomas and them, who got up and followed, couldn’t help but feel that the roots of their teeth were a little itchy.
Bought it at a high price? You cunning bastard is also embarrassed to say!
The value of this batch of Chinese antique relics and works of art is God knows how many times it is 130 million US dollars!
It is more appropriate for you to say robbery than to buy!
Charles, they didn’t understand the situation, so they didn’t think there was anything wrong with Xiao Ran’s words.
However, their vision is very sharp.
They can still see what the value of the antique relics and works of art placed in the living room that have not yet been boxed.
In particular, the statue of the Water Moon Guanyin made by He Chaozong of the Dehua Kiln, as well as several stone sculptures, the value of each piece is very amazing.
The contents of those portable safes are also worth a lot of money, and they are all very good antique artifacts and works of art.
Looking at those things, Charles and Scott’s eyes were a little red, full of envy and jealousy.
“Sean, can you show us this batch of antique artifacts and artwork?”
“Your guy’s luck is so bad that it’s crazy to be jealous,”
Scott said with emotion.
However, Xiao Ran diverted from the topic.
“It’s lunchtime, I wonder if you’ve had lunch?”
“If
not, then eat here” “I’ll give you an introduction during the meal, and then go and see this batch of antique artifacts and artworks,”
Charles and Scott did not respond immediately.
They glanced at the room with the open door, their eyes full of longing.
The two mahogany museum shelves in the room, as well as the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls, they could see when they looked up.
After a little thought, they still accepted Xiao Ran’s proposal.
“Okay, we’d love to hear you introduce the origin of this batch of antique artifacts and artworks
” “As for lunch, forget it, we have already had lunch before we came”
After a few small talks, Xiao Ran led them into the restaurant, sat down at the table and began to enjoy lunch.
During the meal, he briefly introduced the situation.
With his introduction, there was an immediate burst of exclamations in the restaurant.
For his heaven-defying luck, Charles they are envious of them are going crazy!
A few minutes later, David returned to the apartment and went straight to the restaurant.
Xiao Ran looked at him and asked curiously,
“What do those guys from the FBI’s art crime team mean?”
David nodded, and then said:
“Those guys want to know what happened in this apartment building, want to know about this treasure
“, “I introduced them to the situation, and showed the relevant transaction contract”,
“There is also a legal certificate issued by the Wu family, which blocked the mouths of those guys
“, “This apartment now belongs to you, without your permission, they have no right to enter here”
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
“That’s fine, I don’t want to be interrupted by those guys,”
David then sat down at the table and enjoyed lunch with everyone.
It didn’t take long for lunch to be over.
After a short break, the clean-up and identification work began again.
Xiao Ran took Charles and them into the room where antique artworks were stored, and let them see the situation in the room.
As soon as they entered the room, the two guys were stunned and stunned.
They froze in place for a moment before they came to their senses.
“Oh my God! Where is this collection of ordinary people
, it is simply a treasure” “More importantly, every item here looks very high-grade, it is a treasure of the collection level”
Scott exclaimed directly, as did Charles.
Looking at their performance, Xiao Ran just smiled, his eyes full of pride.
“Although there are many things stored here, the authenticity and value are not yet known
” “After the clean-up operation is completed, it needs to be carefully identified to know the final result
” “The follow-up appraisal and evaluation work will take a lot of time, and I am going to do these tasks in Beijing”
No surprise, Scott and they all rolled their eyes.
For his words, these guys didn’t believe a word.
They were very sure in their hearts, Xiao Ran must know the value of these antique relics and artworks in the room, as well as the way to come from!
Although they were mirror-like in their hearts, they did not say it.
Everyone has a tacit understanding of this kind of thing, it’s not interesting to say it, isn’t it, and will it not cooperate in the future?
After taking Charles around the room and introducing the situation, Xiao Ran invited them out.
Have them sit in the living room and watch videos with Thomas.
Immediately after Charles and they left, Elaine re-entered the room to help clean up.
The next moment, Xiao Ran took a delicate brocade box from the museum shelf and carefully opened it.
What appeared in front of him were three apricot yellow rare books.
On the cover of the ancient book on the top, there are several large characters printed impressively, and under these large characters, the “King James Siku Quanshu”
is clearly and unmistakably written, Jingbu Zhou Yi annotated the scroll and other words.
And on the cover of this ancient book, there is also a line of small print, which seems to have been added by later generations, and it is written in the Zhenjiang Wenzong Pavilion Collection.
Obviously, this is part of one of the most important cultural texts of ancient China, the Siku Quanshu.
Moreover, it is the long-lost Zhenjiang Wenzong Pavilion book, which is extremely precious, and it is undoubtedly a national treasure-level ancient rare book!
Looking at these three volumes of the Four Library Complete Books, Xiao Ran’s excited eyes were a little red.
Fortunately, Elder Jin hadn’t seen these three long-lost Wenzong Pavilion books of the Four Libraries just now, otherwise they wouldn’t have thought about falling asleep again!
Xiao Ran did not flip through the three volumes of the Four Library Complete Books, but just looked at the appearance and closed the brocade box.
In fact, he has long known the authenticity of these three volumes of the Siku Quanshu, and where he still needs to read and identify them one by one!
As before, he handed Elaine the brocade box and asked her to take out the room and give it to Nick for taking pictures and packing them.
Immediately afterwards, he reached out and picked up a rusty bronze object from the museum shelf and admired it with interest.
This is a bronze statue from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, with a thick carcass and exquisite work.
Its shape is cylindrical, with a large mouth, a high neck, a bulge belly, a high circle foot, and a gluttonous pattern and cloud thunder engraved on the abdomen, as well as several inscriptions.
In the classification of bronzes, the honor is both a wine vessel and a ceremonial vessel, and the bronze Zun with the inscription is of higher rank and more precious.
It can be seen from the rust marks on this bronze statue that this is an excavated cultural relic that has not been played with for a long time, and there is no paste formed by plate play on the surface.
From this, it can be inferred that this bronze statue of the early Western Zhou Dynasty was probably purchased by Lu Qinzhai from some tomb thief.
Such a possibility is not even ruled out.
It was the manpower he organized to dig a tomb of the princes of the Western Zhou Dynasty that was located somewhere, so he got this treasure!
But no matter what happened in the past, this early Western Zhou Bronze Venerable now belongs to Xiao Ran!
