Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 389
Chapter 389
After determining the identities of several CIA agents and remembering some other relevant information, Xiao Ran left the balcony and returned to the presidential suite.
He didn’t let Sam and them investigate Jorgensen and the Chinese antique dealer who cooperated with the game.
In that case, it is bound to leave some clues that are not conducive to the next action.
If the CIA traces it afterwards, it may follow this clue and finally find out about itself.
Now it’s best to clear your suspicions when nothing has happened and nothing has been discovered.
After returning to the living room, he set about arranging a few things to prepare for the auction that would begin later.
In the blink of an eye, it was four o’clock in the afternoon.
The preview is over and it’s time for the auction.
Xiao Ran, who returned to the auction hall again, was chatting with Counselor Wang and them.
At this moment, Nick came over and reminded:
“Sean, it’s already four o’clock, the auction can start”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately raised his hand to look at the time.
Immediately afterwards, he nodded and said
, “Got it, I’ll go over,”
and he looked at Counselor Wang again.
“Uncle Wang, you guys talk first, I’ll go to the stage to say two words, go through the scene
” “Okay, Xiao Ran, you go busy, don’t care about us”
Counselor Wang nodded and replied.
Then, Xiao Ran took Elaine to the side of the rostrum.
Within three or two steps, they had arrived at the front of the stage and immediately ascended to the rostrum.
The auctioneer who presided over this private auction has also come to the side, ready to come to the stage at any time to start the auction.
Although this was his own private auction, Xiao Ran did not intend to preside over the auction himself.
He is not an auctioneer, and the occasion and identity are different from the live broadcast room, so it is not suitable to preside over this auction in person.
He hired a top auctioneer from Christie’s to preside over the private auction.
Coming to the center of the rostrum, Xiao Ran glanced at everyone in the audience, and then flicked the microphone with his finger.
“Bang bang”
With the crisp knocking sound coming out of the stereo, everyone’s attention was immediately drawn.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the side of the rostrum, looking at the Chinese man standing on the platform.
After successfully attracting everyone’s attention, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and said aloud:
“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, welcome again
to my private auction” “It’s four o’clock in the afternoon, the preview time is over, it’s time to enter the auction session
” “After two hours of preview, I believe everyone has completed the appraisal and selected the target, I hope everyone can gain ,……something”
As he spoke, Nick and they were all busy setting up their chairs.
The auction number plates that have been prepared for a long time are distributed to the various buyers.
Not many buyers were invited to participate in this private auction, and everyone was prepared for a long time.
So the work went very quickly and without any confusion.
After a while, Nick and they had already set up the seats.
Those buyers who get the auction number plate only need to take their seats.
On the rostrum, Xiao Ran’s speech also came to an end.
“…, before the auction starts, I want to remind everyone that all antique artworks auctioned today have an
auction reserve price” “I handed over the reserve price to the auctioneer, and at the end of each round of auction, the auctioneer will announce the reserve price on the spot to show fairness and transparency”
The words did not fall, and the scene immediately sounded a spit sound.
“Sean, you guy is so cunning, it seems that everyone is going to bleed heavily!”
“Obviously, no one wants to pick up cheap today, this guy has already been guarded!”
“Hahaha”
complained endlessly, and there was laughter at the scene.
But everyone is just laughing, and the buyer does not care about this, the main thing is that he cannot afford to lose the person!
Xiao Ran nodded with a smile, and then raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
“Everyone, please take a seat, the auction will start immediately, good luck everyone!”
After that, he took Elaine down from the stage and walked to the first row of seats under the stage.
Their seats are in the middle of the first row, closest to the auction stand.
Immediately after, the rest of the buyers on the scene began to take their seats.
The top auctioneer who presided over the auction stepped onto the auction stage and prepared to start the auction.
In a matter of moments, many buyers were seated.
The entourage and companions who followed them were scattered around.
At this time, everyone at the scene was very excited, just waiting for the auction to start.
Seeing that all the buyers were seated, the auctioneer standing on the stage immediately kicked off this private auction.
“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I’m Williams, from Christie’s, it’s a pleasure to see you here
” “I have been commissioned by Mr. Sean to host this private auction, thank you very much Mr. Sean’s trust,……”
Williams only got down to business after some opening remarks.
“Today’s opening lot is an oil painting by the master of Russian origin Nikolai. Fei
Xin’s hand” “This painting is “Lady in the Red Dress”, created around 1908, is one
of Fei Xin’s masterpieces” “Not long ago, Mr. Sean found a lot of Fei Xin’s paintings in an apartment building that he just bought, including this work
” “After research, this painting has been collected in the hands of Fei Xin’s son Alexei, and the inheritance is very clear” “Like Fei Xin’s
other paintings, It’s a symphony of colors, an undisputed top work of art”
At the same time that Williams introduced the painting, the brightly colored oil painting appeared simultaneously on two large-screen TVs on either side of the auction table.
The moment I saw this oil painting, there was an exclamation at the scene.
Even though everyone had carefully admired and appraised this painting just now, they were still excited at this time.
Visually striking and passionate, this painting instantly captured everyone’s attention and whetted the appetite of all buyers.
The same goes for buyers who are elsewhere and participate in this auction via video conference.
In particular, many buyers of Russian descent, all of them have their eyes shining, and they are eager to take this heavyweight painting immediately.
While speaking, Williams had finished introducing the painting and said the bidding rules.
Immediately afterwards, he gave the starting price of the painting.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this “Lady in the Red Dress” starts at $8 million, which gentleman or lady should bid?”
Before the words fell, someone in the audience had already raised the bidding number plate and accepted the offer.
The person who raised the price was Mikhail, Russia’s super-rich.
With his movements, a fierce competition officially began.
Immediately after, a Jewish investment banker raised a bidding number plate and pushed the price of the painting to $8.5 million.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the painting has exceeded $10 million, and it is soaring.
Outside the Plaza Hotel.
The van parked on the side of the 59th Street road immediately resounded with an exclamation.
“Wow! This is too exaggerated, and a random oil painting is worth tens of millions of dollars, which is incredible!
The C.I.A. agent in charge of the surveillance exclaimed.
Before the words fell, the guy who led the team said
, “See, guys, we have to get this guy Sean!”
“The good life of the rest of our lives is on this guy!”
Hearing this, several other people in the carriage nodded vigorously.
These guys’ eyes were instantly blood-red, full of greed and madness!
……
Soon, the time had come to about eight o’clock in the evening.
Xiao Ran’s private auction has long been over and has come to a successful end.
All the antique artworks that appeared at this auction were successfully auctioned, and there was no first-class auction!
Not only that, the transaction price of these antique artworks is very ideal, far exceeding Xiao Ran’s expectations.
The Russian-American collectors and billionaires who attended the auction were enthusiastic.
One by one, they are scrambling to buy almost every antique art, as if those antique works of art do not need money.
In particular, paintings by famous Russian painters and antique artifacts full of Russian culture are the focus of attention.
Every appearance of such antique artifacts and works of art detonates the auction hall and attracts a lot of buyers.
The Jewish collectors and billionaires who were also at the scene were not hesitant when they spoke, and they all showed great generosity.
The reason why they have such a performance is not only because they like these antique works of art, but also because they are not without the meaning of being popular.
As a result, all lots were sold smoothly and far exceeded the estimated sale price.
For this result, Xiao Ran certainly welcomed it with both hands.
After the auction, all successful buyers chose to close immediately.
This is one of the auction rules that Xiao Ran formulated, and all buyers can only accept it, and there is no choice at all.
It didn’t take long for all the buyers to settle and leave the Plaza Hotel with their own antique artworks.
Some buyers who came from afar simply stayed in the Plaza Hotel, saving them from tossing back and forth.
With the completion of this batch of antique artworks, Xiao Ran’s personal wealth has increased a lot and become richer.
As one of the successful buyers, Jorgensen did not leave with the artwork after the sale, but stayed in the banquet hall.
When Xiao Ran saw off Joshua and returned to the banquet hall again, this guy immediately leaned over.
Seeing him coming, a flash of fierceness flashed in Xiao Ran’s eyes.
It seems that this fool is determined to seek death!
In order to give this fool a chance to perform, Xiao Ran immediately stopped and spread the people around him, leaving David by his side to witness.
Coming closer, Jorgensen immediately whispered:
“Sean, I just contacted the antique dealer and said about your
conditions” “The other party is willing to accept all conditions, I wonder when it is convenient for you?” I’ll arrange the rest of
the things” Xiao Ran looked at this fool, pretending to think about it, and then said in a low voice:
“I have a lot of things at hand these days, and I can’t take care of this matter for the time being
” “When I’m busy with the things at hand, I’ll call you, let’s talk about the meeting”
Jorgensen paused, and then nodded slightly.
“Okay, then I’ll wait for your call”
After a few more words, this guy left the banquet hall with the artwork he had photographed and went to deliver to the master!
Xiao Ran sneered, and then walked towards Counselor Wang.
