Picking up Leaks in live broadcast: There are Treasures Everywhere in my Eyes - Chapter 454
Chapter 454
> Near four o’clock in the afternoon.
Xiao Ran led people out of Liuyunzhai and prepared to leave Chinatown.
Just like the situation of Bo Wenxuan, all the antique artworks of little value in Liuyunzhai were swept away by him.
These include “Spring View of West Lake” by Xia Gui, the four families of the Southern Song Dynasty, and “December Post” by Mi Fu of the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as several other unknown omissions.
He spent more than $1 million on these antique artworks.
The true value of these antique works of art is dozens of times the cost or even more!
By this time, the treasures had been packed into portable safes and painting tubes, as well as suitcases, and then carried to the numerous vehicles parked in front of the door.
When all the treasures were loaded, Xiao Ran immediately turned to look at Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen.
Also present at the scene were the owners of two other Chinese antique shops.
Just now, they took a few treasures from their respective stores and rushed here to sell them to Xiao Ran to get through this difficult period!
Where would Xiao Ran be polite, he accepted all the treasures they sent and pocketed them all.
As for the price of these treasures, they are only five percent off the market price, which can be regarded as picking up a series of big bargains.
It’s a win-win deal for both parties, and everyone is happy!
Xiao Ran looked at these antique shop owners, and then smiled and whispered:
“Boss Zhang, Boss Chen, tomorrow morning I will go to your antique shop to see if I can help the fans buy some good things” ”
Now I have to leave, I have to rush to Financial Street and deposit these treasures I bought into the bank vault!”
“Since it is the first time to go to Boston Financial Street to do a rental vault business, it is estimated that it will take a little time
” The two antique shop owners immediately nodded and whispered together
: “It’s okay, it’s just a night of hard work, we have patience to
wait” “Tomorrow morning we will wait for you in the store, I hope you can find something
” Xiao Ran nodded gently, thought for a while, and then said in a low voice:
” I have a proposal, you might as well consider it, this is also for safety reasons
” “There are a lot of people watching the excitement here, including media reporters, ordinary passers-by, and some gangsters
” “They have all witnessed that you have sold me a lot of valuable antique art, and I know that you have a lot of money in your hands!”
“Everything that happened here must have reached the ears of many people, and there are people hiding in the dark and beating your ideas”
Hearing this, the faces of several antique shop owners changed.
They knew in their hearts that what Xiao Ran said was not wrong at all.
Not to mention anything else, there are many gangsters in the surrounding crowd, and guys with red eyes who are jealous abound!
Old Zhou and Boss Sun looked at each other, and their faces became extremely solemn.
They didn’t respond immediately, but continued to listen.
After a pause, Xiao Ran continued:
“As far as I know, Boston’s security has always been poor, and this special situation is even worse!”
“For safety, I suggest you stay at The Ritz-Carlton for the time being, or let your family move into the hotel!”
“I have two floors of rooms in The Ritz-Carlton, there are just a few vacant rooms, you can live in” ”
I am responsible for the cost of accommodation, the security can be handed over to my security personnel, no one can threaten your safety!”
“When all the transactions are completed and the turmoil gradually subsides, it will not be too late for you to go home!”
When the words fell, several antique shop owners suddenly fell silent and fell into thought.
They understood that Xiao Ran was well-intentioned, and they were all a little moved, but they also had a lot of concerns!
Xiao Ran is just a passer-by, and soon he will leave Boston to explore treasures elsewhere, or fly back to Los Angeles or even back to Beijing.
Their family lives in Boston, and they have to work and live here, and there are some things that must be faced and cannot be escaped!
Now take your family to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and it is of course safe to stay in the shade of Xiao Ran’s protection!
But you can’t stay in a hotel all the time, you always have to come out to work and live, unless you leave Boston and move to a place that no one knows.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhou took the lead in shaking his head and said in a low voice:
“Xiao Ran, thank you for your kindness, I understand it
” “I’d better go home, my wife is waiting at home, and I have to discuss today’s affairs with the children when I go back
” “But I’ll be careful, you don’t have to worry”
Immediately after, the other three antique shop owners all expressed the same meaning.
Seeing that they made a decision, Xiao Ran didn’t say much, just a few words.
“In that case, go back to your respective homes!”
“Remember my mobile phone number, if you encounter any trouble, be sure to call me as soon as possible
” “Okay, Xiao Ran, we remembered”
Several antique shop owners nodded in response, and everyone’s eyes were full of gratitude.
After a few more words, Xiao Ran was ready to take someone away.
At this moment, the media reporter who had been waiting outside the cordon for a while saw the opportunity appear, and immediately pulled his throat and began to ask questions loudly.
“Good afternoon, Sean, I’m a reporter for New Haven’s Citizen TV and I’ve followed the joint exploration team all the way to Boston
” “Excuse me, when will your joint exploration of colonial treasures with Yale University begin?”
“One more thing, everyone has seen it, you bought a lot of things in this antique store, can you tell us about the situation?”
Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the reporter who asked the question, and sure enough, it was a familiar face, who had met more than once before at Yale!
He nodded lightly at the guy, and then said in a loud voice:
“Good afternoon, this journalist friend, it is a pleasure to see you in Boston
” “The joint exploration of colonial treasures will begin soon, but the specific time is to be determined!”
“An archaeological exploration operation like this requires permission from the relevant departments in Boston to really carry out
” “As for what I gained in this antique shop, it is kept secret for the time being, and I can’t tell you”
The voice fell, and other reporters asked questions.
Xiao Ran did not give any response, pulled the car door and prepared to get into the car.
“Sean, wait a minute, I have something I want to talk to you about”
A familiar voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from, somewhat surprised.
The next moment, I saw the director of the Boston Museum of Art walking out from the crowd with several appraisal experts.
When he was in New York before, Xiao Ran met with the director of the Museum of Art in Boston several times, and he could be regarded as friends.
This time he came to Boston to explore the treasures, he had already expected to meet this old friend, and it was likely that he would deal with and even trade!
But he didn’t expect to meet in Chinatown, and so soon!
Without thinking, these guys must have heard about a series of heavyweight antique art deals in Chinatown, so they rushed here.
You know, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has always been famous for its collection of oriental art, with more than 5,000 Chinese and Japanese paintings alone.
Among the many Chinese paintings, there are some national treasures.
For example, Song Huizong’s “Five-Colored Parrot”, Tang Dynasty painting Saint Yan Liben’s “Emperor Diagram”, Tang Zhangxuan’s “Pounding Map”, etc., each piece is worth a lot.
Because of this, today’s series of top Chinese antique art transactions can quickly shake the upper echelons of the Museum of Art in Boston.
This is their territory, can they not pay attention?
Seeing that it was these old friends, Xiao Ran immediately nodded at Marven and signaled that he could let him go.
At this time, Old Zhou and Sun Bowen were a little surprised!
As antique dealers in Boston, of course they know these guys.
As he spoke, these guys were already approaching.
After a few polite words, the director of the Museum of Art in Boston immediately got to the point.
“Sean, your series of big moves in Chinatown has caused quite a stir!”
“Your guy’s luck is still so against the sky, just arrived in Boston and found so many top antique works of art, it’s really enviable!”
“We just looked at a few photos and videos that came out of social media, and it was unexpected that Chinatown was hiding so many top Chinese antique artworks!”
Saying that, this guy glanced at Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen, as well as Liuyunzhai, his eyes full of unwillingness and remorse.
Apparently, he regretted missing out on those top antique artworks.
This is his territory, but there are so many top antique works of art hidden, but he doesn’t even catch a hair, of course he is unwilling!
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and said jokingly:
“My luck has always been good, Matthew, this trip to Boston is the same, it seems that this is my blessed place!”
“It is because of luck that I can receive these top Chinese antique artworks, and I hope that I can continue to be lucky in the future”
Hearing this, everyone at the scene rolled their eyes in disgust, and secretly complained one by one!
You guy is lucky, like God’s favorite!
But for others, it’s bad luck!
All the good things are pocketed by this guy of yours, but others only have to look at the gluttony, why?
After a few words of secret complaining, Matthew continued:
“Sean, can you let us admire these top antique artworks you just received?”
“If these treasures are genuine, I think we may be able to make a deal
” “Exchange these treasures in your hands with the Chinese antique artworks in our art museum collection, we need to inject fresh blood
” “You can also get Chinese antique artworks of excellent quality, you can kill two birds with one stone!”
However, Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
“I’m very sorry, Matthew, I am going to send all these Chinese
antique artworks back to Beijing, and I will not take them out to trade with you” “In fact, as long as they come from China’s top antique
artworks, I will not exchange them for other antique artworks” “I will send them back to China, and then take out a small part and sell them in China, and most of the rest will be collected by myself
” “As for appreciating these top antique artworks, It’s obviously not appropriate now, let’s talk about it later, we’re going to spend some time in Boston,”
Matthew couldn’t help but feel very disappointed when he heard this.
However, he can only accept this result.
“I know that once good things fall into the hands of this guy of yours, it is basically impossible to flow out again
” “It’s a pity that we didn’t find these treasures early, and as a result, you lucky guy picked up a big bargain!”
Matthew said in annoyance, that is called envy and jealousy!
“Hahaha”
Xiao Ran laughed proudly.
“We still have the possibility of cooperation, if I find some top Western antique art in Boston, I am very happy to exchange it with you
” “My exchange target is the top Chinese antique art in your collection, such as “Emperor Chart of the Past Dynasties”, I believe that the possibility of trading is very high!”
“Shhh!”
There was a sound of gasping for air at the scene, and everyone was startled.
Everyone can hear very clearly that antique shops in other parts of Boston will be doomed, and they are all targets of Xiao Ran’s sweep.
It seems that that rumor is not wrong at all!
Starting today, Boston’s antique art market is headed for a catastrophe!
Matthew was stunned for a moment before he said helplessly,
“You guy is too greedy and terrifying!”
“Looks like I have to alert all the antique dealers in Boston to be careful of you crazy fellow!”
After chatting a few more words, Xiao Ran waved his hand and took his leave, and sat in the general unified SUV in front of him.
The convoy immediately started and headed for Boston’s Financial Street, not far away.
Looking at this rapidly departing convoy, Matthew and the others’ faces were extremely solemn, and they all had the feeling of black clouds overwhelming the city!
Looking at Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen, their eyes were full of excitement, but they were also a little worried.
Among the surrounding crowd of onlookers, some red and greedy eyes were staring at them closely!
