Xiao Ran held the porcelain plate painting in front of him, carefully inspected and admired it.

The outside of this green landscape porcelain plate painting is a modern minimalist style solid wood frame.

Two things that were originally incompatible were put together, but they didn't look very inconsistent.

No need to ask, this picture frame must have been installed by a foreigner.

Xiao Ran did not see the author's signature or seal on this porcelain plate painting.

There is only one ancient poem about dragons and phoenixes dancing in the painting, and what it describes is the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in summer.

This ancient poem is catchy and has a meaningful artistic conception, which exactly echoes the scenery in the painting.

As the saying goes, there is painting within the poem, and there is poetry within the painting.

After admiring it intoxicatedly, Xiao Ran turned the porcelain plate painting over again and looked to the back.

Unfortunately, there is a frame back panel behind it, which completely covers the back of the porcelain plate painting.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly.

Next, he carefully placed the porcelain plate painting back on the shelf and picked up another porcelain plate painting.

Different from the first porcelain plate painting, what is painted on this porcelain plate painting is a beautiful autumn scenery.

But it's the same Jiangnan, the same scenery of West Lake, and the same timeless ancient poem, but the season in the painting is different.

What's more, this porcelain plate painting also shows an old man fishing, but it does not have the author's signature or seal.

The situation on the back is the same as the first porcelain plate painting. The back of the porcelain plate painting cannot be seen.

The next third porcelain plate painting depicts the spring scenery of West Lake, and the fourth porcelain plate painting depicts the beautiful scenery of West Lake in winter.

There is no author's signature or seal on these two porcelain plate paintings, but there is an old man fishing, and there is also an ancient poem corresponding to the scenery.

The scenery in the painting is very beautiful, no less than the first two porcelain plate paintings.

After examining all four porcelain paintings, Xiao Ran said excitedly:

"This is a four-panel painting of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The scenery in the painting is so beautiful! It's simply mesmerizing!"

"Although I don't understand things like porcelain plate painting, I can see that these four porcelain plate paintings are definitely not simple."

"My brother was so right on my trip to Beverly Hills today. I didn't expect to pick up such a big leak."

Following his words, the live broadcast room immediately exploded.

"Xiao Ran, did you go out and step on dog poop? Your luck is so bad!"

A little guy who joined the live broadcast room just two days ago came out.

Immediately afterwards, the excited voice of the big dog came.

"These four porcelain plate paintings are definitely masterpieces. The artistic conception in the paintings is so beautiful, and the painting skills are also very superb."

Before he finished speaking, he started talking while half asleep and half awake.

"It's true. This green landscape cannot be painted even after just a few decades of effort."

The next moment, the demon said disdainfully:

"Isn't it just that there are two second-generation ancestors who are bad at money? What kind of appraisal experts are they pretending to be!"

"Let's be honest, Xiao Ran, this set of porcelain plate paintings has been reserved, and I will win it even if I try to sell it!"

Hearing this, others immediately became anxious.

"Why did you make a reservation? You're so shameless! I still want it."

"You make a price, Xiao Ran. I will never bargain. The beauty god sculpture is a bargain for big money. This set of treasures must not be missed again."

In the blink of an eye, the live broadcast room became noisy.

This situation is what Xiao Ran wants to see the most.

However, he did not immediately decide which fan he would sell this set of porcelain paintings to.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:

"Everyone, please stop arguing for now. My brother is still cleaning out the warehouse. When we get back to the apartment, we will discuss the sale of this set of porcelain paintings."

"Same as before, everyone will take a screenshot first, and then go find an expert you know to appraise it to find out the origin and value of this set of porcelain plate paintings."

Following his words, the hot-headed guys in the live broadcast room calmed down a little.

At this moment, Elaine suddenly walked over.

Seeing the set of four porcelain plate paintings, the beauty's eyes lit up.

"These paintings are so beautiful. I saw the same thing in the Louvre. These are Chinese porcelain plate paintings, right?"

Xiao Ran nodded proudly.

"Yes, Elaine, this is indeed a porcelain plate painting from China. It is a category of Chinese porcelain art."

"More importantly, this set of four porcelain plate paintings is probably the work of a master, and it is an antique artwork with a certain history and is worth a lot of money."

Before she finished speaking, Elaine exclaimed excitedly.

"Ah! It's actually a valuable antique work of art. It's incredible."

"You guys are so lucky, it's really enviable."

With that said, the beautiful woman came to the shelf and prepared to admire the four porcelain paintings.

However, Xiao Ran interrupted her.

"Elaine, the environment here is really terrible. It's not a good place to appreciate art."

"Let's clean up the warehouse first. When we get back to the apartment, we can appreciate these treasures."

Elaine paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Next, the two of them continued to be busy cleaning the pottery bar warehouse.

There's really nothing to clean up.

They selected some pottery works that everyone liked and put them into two storage boxes.

Among these pottery works, there are several pottery pieces with initials written on them that appear to be those of Hollywood stars.

As for the other things, Xiao Ran did not plan to take them away, but planned to sell them to other professional treasure hunters.

In a short time, they had finished cleaning up and moved the set of porcelain paintings and two storage boxes outside the warehouse.

Then, Xiao Ran took out his cell phone and started calling Sylvia.

Hearing that he was planning to sell the ceramics warehouse, Sylvia and Garcia immediately rushed over, fearing that they would miss the warehouse.

They were very fond of this warehouse, but Xiao Ran snatched it away.

In less than five minutes, the couple arrived at the door of the warehouse.

When they came closer, they looked at the porcelain paintings and two storage boxes placed outside the warehouse, and they were all a little curious.

"Sean, did you find anything good in the warehouse? Then throw the rest of the garbage to us for disposal."

This is indeed the case, but it cannot be said like that!

Xiao Ran shook his head and said with a smile:

"In these two boxes are some small pottery works, which look interesting. I plan to take them back as decorations. They are not very good things."

“I didn’t take away any of the pottery bar equipment in the warehouse, and there are more equipment than you have seen before.”

"Some small electric equipment placed on the shelves were covered with cloth before, so you didn't see it."

"Those equipment are more valuable. I'll leave them to you. If you're not interested, I can contact Jeremy and the others."

When introducing the situation, he evaded the important points and never mentioned the set of porcelain paintings.

As expected, Sylvia and Garcia's eyes lit up.

They previously participated in the bidding for this warehouse because of the ceramics bar equipment.

I heard that those devices are there and there are more of them than before. Can they not be tempted?

"Let us take a look at the situation first. If the situation is the same as what you said, then we are very happy to buy this warehouse."

"No problem, Garcia, go in and check."

With that said, Xiao Ran made a gesture of invitation.

Later, Sylvia and Garcia walked into the warehouse and began to inspect and evaluate the situation.

Needless to say the results!

When they came out of the warehouse, they all had satisfied smiles on their faces.

Next, the two parties began to discuss the price of the warehouse.

After some bargaining, Xiao Ran sold the warehouse for US$4,200.

This is $1,000 higher than the price he paid for this warehouse before, which is a small profit!

His operation caused a small commotion in the live broadcast room.

"I'll go! This operation is so cool. Not only did I not spend a penny to buy the warehouse, I also made another $1,000 by selling it. It's awesome!"

"What's even more awesome is that this guy picked up a set of priceless porcelain paintings for free. Where can I explain him?"

Amidst all the envious comments, Xiao Ran and Elaine left the warehousing company with the set of green landscape porcelain paintings and two boxes of ceramic works.

At this time, Xiao Ran didn't know yet.

The set of porcelain plate paintings he discovered quickly caused a stir in the domestic antique art collection field.
