"Sale, $98,000. Congratulations to buyer No. 106 for successfully bidding on this exquisite Patek Philippe limited edition antique watch."
"Transaction, $115,000. Congratulations again to buyer No. 106 for successfully purchasing the third antique Patek Philippe watch."
"Bang, bang, bang"
Auctioneer Claude banged the auction gavel again and again, shouted out the number 106 again and again, and kept raising his hand to point at Xiao Ran, announcing the deal.
Since entering the auction of antique watches, Xiao Ran, who had been tepid before, started to bid non-stop like clockwork.
Moreover, his bid was very determined and generous, and he seemed determined to win.
Except for a low-value Vacheron Constantin antique watch across the world, he bought all the other antique watches at high prices.
Especially for the three antique Patek Philippe watches, he was extremely determined in bidding, leaving other competitors unable to fight back, and finally successfully bought them all.
Of course, the high price mentioned here is only relative.
As the guys in the live broadcast room said, limited edition antique watches of this kind from top brands are very rare in the domestic market and almost impossible to buy!
As long as you can get these limited-edition antique watches from top brands back to China and sell them at double or triple prices, it's as easy as playing.
Because of this, Xiao Ran dared to bid without any scruples, leaving no chance for other buyers at all.
His crazy behavior of throwing away money directly caused a sensation in the entire auction house.
Only then did the other buyers on the scene know how powerful he was.
"Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spread out in a short time. Did this guy's money come from the strong wind? It's too crazy and too generous!"
"This guy must be a second-generation rich man. The reason why he joined this business and participated in this auction is just for fun."
"Fake! This world is so unfair. We treat auctions as business, but this kid treats them as a game. How can we play!"
Listening to the murmurs around them, Lyon and Parsons both felt blushing and looked quite embarrassed!
This bastard turns out to be a second-generation rich man with a lot of money!
I used to compete with this bastard as to whose pockets were the deepest, wasn't that asking for trouble!
While feeling embarrassed, a hint of greed and even a dangerous light flashed in the eyes of these guys.
There were many people on the scene who had the same idea as them.
From time to time, these guys would turn their heads to look at Xiao Ran, with greed shining behind each pair of sunglasses.
"boom!"
Claude struck the auction hammer again, and the deal was sealed.
"The transaction was completed at US$157,000. Congratulations to buyer No. 106 for successfully purchasing this Breguet antique watch."
With Claude's passionate shouting, the last antique watch fell into Xiao Ran's hands.
Xiao Ran, who was sitting in the audience, just smiled and nodded gently.
This action of his immediately raised the force to the full level, giving people a feeling of ease and unpredictability!
And this posture was deliberately created by Xiao Ran.
The goal is to dominate others in the next auction!
He even succeeded in scaring off some weak competitors and won the lot he was interested in at a relatively low price.
In fact, he achieved this goal.
In the eyes of everyone present, he is now a super rich second generation who is not short of money and likes to spend money like crazy.
In other words, he is a prodigal son, which seems more appropriate!
As for his slightly plain clothes and accessories, as well as the shabby car he drove, in the eyes of everyone present, they were just props to hide his identity.
A second-generation rich man who casually spends tens of millions of dollars on auctioning antique watches will not have the money to buy a nice car? No one would believe it if I told you!
It's obviously not a good thing to compete with such a guy who doesn't take the US dollar seriously at all!
If you lose your mind and raise prices to each other, that would be stupid!
What if the price hike reaches the end and this bastard suddenly stops following? There will be no place to cry!
Thinking of this, many buyers have made up their mind to avoid this bastard who is not short of money as much as possible to avoid being cheated!
While Xiao Ran was showing off, the live broadcast room exploded.
"Hahaha, Xiao Ran is really good at acting, I can definitely give him an Oscar bitch!"
"If this guy doesn't know how to act, how can he win almost all antique watches? He's so awesome!"
"That's a Breguet antique watch! It's less than 160,000 US dollars. Can you believe it?"
“The public price of watches in this series of Breguet is more than 3.5 million yuan, and it is extremely difficult to buy them in China, let alone antique watches!”
The guys in the live broadcast room exclaimed one after another, and they were all excited.
Especially those who like high-end luxury brand watches are almost crazy with excitement.
Auction site.
Another exquisite antique clock appeared on two large-screen TVs.
Although this antique clock is valuable and worth collecting, Xiao Ran is not very interested in such a large gadget.
This thing is so heavy and heavy that it’s too difficult to move. There’s no place to put it for now!
He looked up at the picture of the antique clock, scanned the scene, then took out another cell phone and started calling David.
The call was connected in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Ran whispered:
"David, come to Malibu right away. I'm attending a top home auction and need help."
Hearing this, David couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Sean, can you tell me what happened?"
Xiao Ran didn't hide it and told the truth directly.
"At this Jewish financier's family auction, I bought a lot of good things and gave away a lot of money."
"Maybe he was too pushy, so he attracted a lot of attention, or greedy eyes."
"There may be someone with bad intentions among these guys."
"I'm calling you just to be on the safe side. You'd better come to Malibu with two armed security guards."
Before he finished speaking, David immediately responded.
"I understand, Sean, I'll take my bodyguard to Malibu right now."
"Send your address and we'll be there within an hour at most."
"Okay David, see you later"
Xiao Ran responded in a low voice and then hung up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, he sent the address to David.
At this moment, Elaine suddenly whispered:
"Sean, are you too careful? Could something really happen?"
"But you were really too pushy just now, so it's normal for people to care about you."
And in the live broadcast room, it was even more lively.
"Xiao Ran, where is the energy to show off just now? I will be scared even if I am with you!"
"You are so arrogant, you have given away dozens or millions of dollars at once. It would be strange if no one cares about you. Just be careful!"
Listening to these teasing words, Xiao Ran just smiled softly and didn't say much.
In fact, he was planning ahead.
The reason why he asked David to come with bodyguards was because the things he wanted to protect were not these valuable antique watches, nor the pair of Yongzheng Ji blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles.
Compared with what he really wanted to protect, these antique watches and Yongzheng Ji blue glazed celestial sphere bottles, even if they were all robbed, he would not feel distressed at all.
Once those priceless things appear, they will definitely cause a huge sensation and even an uproar at home and abroad!
By then, if there is no private lawyer and armed security to follow, he, a foreign student, may not be able to take away those priceless treasures alive and return to UCLA alive!
Because of this, he called David to come with bodyguards for support.
Those million-dollar antique watches are nothing more than a reasonable-sounding excuse!
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
During this period, many things were auctioned one after another.
During this period, Xiao Ran took action many times, but it was just to brush up on his presence and did not take any pictures.
Another auction item appeared on the big screen.
These are two small safes that have not been opened. They are relatively old-fashioned and have the traditional rotary combination lock and key safety structure. They are very strong!
What exactly they contain, no one knows!
Even the son of the late Jewish financier did not know what was in the two safes and was unable to open them.
The moment he saw these two small safes, Xiao Ran's eyes hidden under his sunglasses suddenly lit up and shone brightly.
The color of these two small safes in his eyes was an extremely bright golden light.
Xiao Ran knew what that meant!
But at the auction site and live broadcast room, there was a sound of doubt.
"These Jews are so smart and never miss any opportunity to make money. Who knows if these two small safes are traps!"
"If there is nothing in these two small safes, whoever takes the picture will suffer a loss!"
