Around nine o'clock in the evening, in the living room.
Xiao Ran simply arranged it and was ready to start the live broadcast.
Different from the past, there are two mobile phones for live broadcast today, corresponding to two live broadcast rooms.
Fang Yufei was still assisting in the live broadcast, and Elaine was also helping.
Just as Xiao Ran was about to enter the live broadcast room, his phone suddenly rang.
The call was from my dad, and it was a video call.
Xiao Ran looked at the display and then answered the phone.
The next moment, my father and mother appeared on the video screen.
Grandpa actually came to join in the fun, and the old god was sitting on the sofa next to him.
Seeing the old man, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, he greeted him respectfully.
"Why are you here? Grandpa, are you and grandma okay?"
Grandpa nodded slightly.
"Everything is fine at home. Your grandma is in good health. Don't worry."
"But you, kid, be more careful in the United States, it's too chaotic over there."
"Okay! I must be more careful."
Xiao Ran nodded in response.
Seeing that the call was from her father, Fang Yufei immediately came over to say hello, still a little shy.
Now both families know that she lives here with Xiao Ran.
When family members call again, it would be unreasonable not to show up and say hello.
The moment he saw Fang Yufei, Grandpa paused immediately.
Immediately afterwards, the old man said a few good things, and his meaning was obvious.
Fang Yufei's pretty face turned red immediately, and she quickly hid aside.
At this moment, Elaine, who never regarded herself as an outsider, also came to the camera and waved to say hello to her grandfather.
Not only that, she also called her grandpa sweetly and introduced herself.
Although the old man could not understand English, he understood the general meaning.
The moment he saw Elaine, the old man was stunned and his eyes widened.
The mother sitting aside immediately covered her mouth and started laughing.
But my father looked a little embarrassed and quickly distanced himself from his grandfather to avoid being beaten.
Xiao Ran on the other end of the phone smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.
After being stunned for a moment, Grandpa came to his senses.
He first waved hello to Elaine, and then tapped Xiao Ran with his finger.
"Little bastard, what's going on? Why is there a foreign girl in your house?"
Xiao Ran quickly explained:
"Grandpa, please don't think nonsense."
"This is my classmate and friend, Elaine, from France, who is also my assistant"
"My mother knows the specific situation and she will explain it to you!"
Mom quickly stood up and said she would introduce the situation to Grandpa later.
Grandpa nodded and immediately got to the point.
"I heard from your dad that your boy found a Liling porcelain set today, and it's a complete green bamboo and red plum tea set."
Xiao Ran suddenly understood why grandpa came to the house today.
People of Grandpa's age have a very special emotion towards the legendary Mao porcelain and attach great importance to it.
To them, this is a truly priceless treasure that cannot be exchanged for anything.
"Yes, Grandpa, I did find a set of Liling Mao porcelain made in 1974 today. It is very precious and rare."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
Before he finished speaking, the old man stood up from the sofa.
Moreover, his eyes shone with excitement, and he seemed to be several years younger in an instant.
"Great, this is truly priceless!"
"You kid, please don't sell this set of Liling Mao Porcelain, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
"Don't worry, I have no intention of selling this set of Liling Mao Porcelain, but I plan to return it to China for my own collection."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa immediately nodded appreciatively.
"That's how it should be. This priceless treasure must be brought home and used as an heirloom of our family to be passed down from generation to generation."
"Okay! I will send this set of Liling porcelain back to China later, and we can keep it at home."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
Next, he chatted with his grandfather and parents for a few more words before ending the call.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Fang Yufei came over and punched him in annoyance.
"It's over now. Everyone in my hometown knows that I live here. Even if I have eight mouths, I can't explain it clearly!"
Xiao Ran pretended to dodge for a moment, and then said jokingly:
"Why do we need to explain? What if my hometown knows about it? Just let them say it!"
"Besides, our hometown might really want to see this scene."
Before she finished speaking, Fang Yufei's face turned into a piece of red cloth.
"You can be shameless, but I still plan to take it!"
As she said that, she pinched Xiao Ran hard.
After joking for a while, Xiao Ran started the live broadcast.
As soon as he opened the live broadcast room, many fans immediately rushed in and cheered.
Before he could open his mouth, several guys started talking nonsense:
"Xiao Ran, you are a live broadcaster. Hurry up and start bidding."
"I have fallen in love with the Qing Dynasty Daoguang gilt bronze statue of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Arms. I will take it no matter what I do today."
Danmo Lanxin said impatiently.
Immediately afterwards, the story of the bottle cap also jumped out.
"I want the Duan Inkstone from the middle period of Fang Qing Dynasty, no one can take it from me!"
These things everyone is talking about are all treasures that Xiao Ran found in antique shops.
These include various antique cultural relics and works of art, some from China and other countries around the world.
When checking out the antique store during the day, Xiao Ran had already introduced these treasures and given preliminary appraisal opinions.
Among them, the antiques, cultural relics and works of art from China have all undergone secondary appraisal by Jin Lao and others.
There is no question about the authenticity of those things.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, there was neither a fish that slipped through the net nor a false pretense, everything was real and without a doubt.
Although there are many Western antiques and works of art in antique stores, what these guys in the live broadcast room like most are the treasures from China.
Listening to the voices of these guys, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
After a pause, he said to the camera:
"Don't worry, everyone. Next, I will conduct an auction and auction off the treasures I found during the day."
"It's daytime in China, but it's night here, so I'm going to be a night owl all night and try my best to meet everyone's requirements."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of complaints in the live broadcast room.
"You've only been a night owl once, what's there to complain about?"
"We followed you to participate in the live broadcast of the auction. We didn't stay up all night and be a night owl that time."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded slightly, and then got to the point.
"That's true, but there's nothing we can do about it. Who allowed the time difference between Los Angeles and Beijing to be more than ten hours?"
"Okay, let's not talk about what is useless, and prepare to bid via private message. The rules are the same as before."
"One thing I want to explain is that there will be two live broadcast rooms for private message bidding today, and the other live broadcast room is also mine."
"ah!"
There was an exclamation in the live broadcast room, and everyone was shocked.
"You actually opened another live broadcast room. Are you going to expand the scale of the live broadcast?"
"Even if the scale is expanded, there is no need to open a live broadcast room. Wouldn't it be enough to let those fans join here?"
Sister Min asked in surprise, a little confused.
The rest of the people were just as confused.
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"Things are not that simple. Please listen to my explanation."
"The other live broadcast room was newly opened today. There are not many fans in it, only a dozen or so people."
"But some of the famous domestic collectors or antique dealers represented by these dozen people are very powerful."
"The reason why I opened a separate live broadcast room for them is to expand my business and sell more good things back to China."
After hearing this, everyone understood a little bit.
"Wow! It turns out to be a live broadcast room for collectors and a group of rich people."
"It's understandable. After all, it's business."
Brother Hua stood up and said.
“Long live understanding!”
Xiao Ran nodded in response and continued his previous conversation.
“Given that the fans in the collector group are very powerful, ordinary fans are no match at all if they bid on the same site.”
"So I made a rule that fans of the collector group cannot participate in the competition for antique cultural relics and works of art valued at less than five million."
"Only those with a valuation of more than 5 million yuan can compete with everyone else, and the one with the highest price will win."
"In this way, everyone's interests can be protected to the greatest extent, so that everyone can gain something and not be knocked unconscious with money!"
The live broadcast room was quiet for a moment, everyone was obviously thinking.
Immediately afterwards, cheers erupted in the live broadcast room.
"This is a great job! Xiao Ran, we agree with our hands and feet."
"In the live broadcast room, except for a few big dogs, who can afford a baby worth more than 5 million? Unless you sell your house or land."
"This division can indeed protect everyone's interests and allow everyone to participate in this fun game."
The Buddha said excitedly.
The rest of the people also expressed their approval.
Such a result is undoubtedly what Xiao Ran wants to see most.
When the cheers subsided, he immediately said loudly:
"Since no one has any objection, let's implement it like this. I hope everyone can have a good time."
"Now let's start tonight's first private message bidding, the subject is the Qing Daoguang gilt bronze Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara statue."
As the bidding began, a wonderful show began immediately.
The dozen or so fans in the collector's live broadcast room could only stand aside and watch the fun, but they couldn't participate.
Their strength was too strong and they lost the opportunity to participate in this competition.
