Soon, half an hour passed.
Most of the items displayed in the foyer and living room of this top-notch mansion have been sold.
Since these items are all in good condition and many are antiques, cultural relics and works of art, there are only one or two unsold items.
The transaction prices for those items that were successfully auctioned were all very high, and they were basically sold at prices that were several times higher than the starting price.
Among them, the highest price was an Impressionist landscape oil painting hanging in the living room, which was sold for US$185,000.
During this process, Xiao Ran only took action once.
It was during the auction of the One Thousand and One Nights coffee pot set that he raised his cards several times at the strong request of several fans in the live broadcast room.
As he expected, all the treasure hunters at the scene were interested in the classic Mason porcelain set and all participated in the competition.
As a result, the price of the Mason porcelain set took off immediately, exceeding US$50,000 in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this situation, the fans in the live broadcast room immediately stopped, and Xiao Ran also stopped raising signs.
Even when those guys in Lyon raised their cards, he didn't come out to cause trouble and cause trouble for those guys.
This made those guys breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he had changed his temper.
But how did they know that Xiao Ran was gathering strength and saving ammunition for the fight later.
In the blink of an eye, another desk clock placed on the coffee table in the living room was sold and successfully photographed.
The next thing that appeared on the big-screen TV was the pair of table lamps transformed from Yongzheng's blue-glazed celestial bottles.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the beautiful pair of table lamps you see now consists of two parts."
"The blue vase on the lower half of the desk lamp is antique porcelain from China, but it is somewhat incomplete and cannot be accurately dated."
"The colored glass lampshade in the upper part is a classic piece produced by Tiffany in the 1960s and is also an antique work of art..."
Just when Claude introduced the auction items passionately, Xiao Ran's live broadcast room was already boiling.
As soon as the pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles appeared, the Shanghai Bo appraisal expert made several comments.
The first time she saw the barrage, Fang Yufei immediately began to announce loudly.
"Xiao Ran, Shangbo Lao Li said that after some research, they can basically confirm that this is the Yongzheng Ji blue glazed celestial sphere bottle."
"Although this pair of celestial sphere bottles is damaged, they are still very precious. They are rare large leaks. They must be photographed."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran responded confidently and in a low voice.
"This pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles belongs to me. No one can take it away. Let's wait and see my brother's performance."
The guys in the live broadcast room were all shouting with excitement.
"We must get these pair of celestial vases with blue glaze, Xiao Ran, and then hold another auction in the live broadcast room. Brother, please contact the bank to mortgage the house!"
"Such a good thing can't be wasted by those dead foreigners. It must be brought back to the country no matter what!"
While he was talking, auctioneer Claude had already given the starting price for the pair of desk lamps, which was US$1,500.
As soon as the starting price was announced, someone raised a sign to accept the price and accepted the price.
The people holding up the sign to pay the price were the Chinese couple who asked Xiao Ran about the situation before.
Since they were not professional treasure hunters and had average abilities, they did not have seats and stood on the edge of the venue.
After the couple raised their signs and accepted the price, they glanced at Xiao Ran.
As a result, Xiao Ran just smiled and nodded, but did not follow the bidding.
The second person holding a sign was a white woman sitting in the front row, who was also a professional treasure hunter.
Immediately afterwards, several more professional treasure hunters and passers-by joined the competition, including a Chinese man in his fifties.
That guy had greeted Xiao Ran before and chatted for a few words, so he was considered acquaintance.
In addition, the guy from Lyon also raised a sign to bid and joined the competition.
What this guy is most likely interested in is the pair of antique Tiffany lampshades rather than the pair of celestial sphere bottles with blue glaze.
As the number of competitors increases, so does the price of this pair of desk lamps.
After a while, the price quoted exceeded $3,000.
However, Xiao Ran never made a move, as if he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Seeing this scene, the guys in the live broadcast room were a little anxious, and so was Elaine.
"Sean, why don't you take action? You're not going to give up this pair of lamps, are you?"
Elaine asked in a surprised voice.
At this moment, the guy from Lyon raised his sign again and accepted the offer of US$3,200.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran suddenly chuckled.
"Who says I have to give up? The fun is just beginning!"
As he spoke, he raised the bidding number in his hand and shouted out a new offer.
"Here, $4,000."
Then, he turned to look at that guy in Lyon, smiled and nodded slightly, full of provocation.
Leon was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.
"Fake! This hateful bastard, I thought he had changed his gender, but he ended up waiting for me here."
While cursing, Leon also raised his middle finger.
Many professional treasure hunters who had participated in the airport's lost luggage auction before couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this scene.
These two guys are fighting again, hoping not to harm Chi Yu.
But how did they know that this was just Xiao Ran's strategy, and Leon was just a tool man.
The worries of the other professional treasure hunters are exactly what Xiao Ran wants to see.
As he raised his sign to answer the price, cheers immediately erupted in the live broadcast room.
"That's great. This guy finally put up a sign and accepted the price. I was worried for nothing!"
"I'll go! It's different when you have money. He's so handsome when he holds the sign. The sisters really love him!"
Before the cheers could stop, there was another round of laughter.
At the auction site, Claude raised the price to $4,200.
This price obviously broke through the psychological price of some competitors. Three or four competitors shook their heads and quit the competition, including the Chinese man in his fifties.
However, the Chinese couple is still there.
They glanced at Xiao Ran's side. The couple discussed in a low voice for a few words before raising a sign to accept the price.
It can be seen from their hesitant movements that they are already beating the drum in their hearts and will probably quit soon.
This is exactly the case!
When the quote for the pair of table lamps came to $4,600, the couple shook their heads and quit the competition.
At this point, there are only four professional treasure hunters left competing for the pair of lamps, including the enemies Xiao Ran and Leon.
The person who accepted the offer of US$4,600 was none other than Lyon.
Before he lowered his arm, Xiao Ran had already raised the bidding number in his hand and raised the price significantly again.
"$5,500, Claude"
While shouting out the new offer, he also made a please gesture towards Lyon.
However, he didn't even look back, as if he didn't even bother to look at his opponent!
This action is not very harmful, but extremely insulting!
Seeing this scene, Leon was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.
"Fake U! You are a complete bastard"
The guy jumped up from his seat, pointed at Xiao Ran and began to curse.
If it weren't for the fact that this was an auction venue and no fighting was allowed, and he couldn't bear to give up, he might have rushed over and punched Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran looked back at this guy, sneered disdainfully and said:
"Calm down, man, don't be so impulsive. This is an auction, not your backyard. Pay attention to your manners!"
"Stop wasting your breath and shouting. It's of no use. It will only show your lack of education and confidence."
"If you have the guts to keep bidding, you might win the next round!"
Leon was immediately so angry that he couldn't speak. His face turned blue and purple, and his whole body was about to smoke, but there was nothing he could do!
The other professional treasure hunters at the scene all shook their heads helplessly.
"This Chinese boy is so insulting! He's so annoying. If I were Leon, I would rush over and smash his smiling face no matter what!"
"Fortunately, we didn't offend this kid, otherwise, this kid would definitely cause trouble for us, and that would be troublesome!"
And in Xiao Ran's live broadcast room, it was even more lively.
"Take it easy, Xiao Ran, don't go too far. If you are too annoying, you will be blackmailed!"
"Let's make an agreement first. If it's a banquet, I'll sit at the same table as the kid!"
Although everyone knew that Xiao Ran was acting, they were still a little worried.
Of course, there are also many people who are watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, constantly making noises and making fun of people.
The auction continues.
Seeing Xiao Ran and Leon fighting so fiercely, the other two professional treasure hunters shook their heads and withdrew from the competition one after another.
But Leon held his neck and raised his cards a few more times, looking like he would fight to the end!
But every time he raised his sign to answer the price, Xiao Ran would raise the price significantly without hesitation.
When the price for this pair of desk lamps exceeded $10,000, this guy finally gave up!
At the offer of US$10,500, Lyon hesitated for a moment, and finally made a cut-throat gesture and announced his withdrawal from the competition.
The price of US$10,000 has long exceeded the price limit he set for this pair of desk lamps, more than double it.
He was worried that if he made another quotation, Xiao Ran would suddenly remove the ladder, and the pair of table lamps would fall into his hands, and it would take up a lot of funds.
In that case, subsequent auction plans will have to be changed.
There are better things later, how dare he spend all his money so early!
But how did he know the huge value of the pair of blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles, otherwise he would not quit even if he was beaten to death.
After announcing his withdrawal from the competition, this guy gestured with his middle finger to Xiao Ran again.
Xiao Ran was too lazy to talk to him, but stared at Claude with a smile.
As he wished.
"boom!"
Seeing that no one was raising their bids, Claude immediately hit the auction gavel.
"Sold, $10,000. Congratulations to buyer No. 106 for buying this pair of beautiful table lamps."
"call!"
Xiao Ran took a deep breath secretly, then smiled and nodded.
In his live broadcast room, the pot was boiling instantly.
"Awesome! Xiao Ran finally won this pair of Yongzheng Ji blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles!"
"I didn't say anything, brother, let's go sell the house and the land!"
