Two days later, City Hall.
With the cooperation of Davis, the Baroque-style building and antique shop on Brighton Road, as well as the back garden and warehouse, were successfully transferred to Xiao Ran's name.
As soon as the transfer procedures were completed, Xiao Ran transferred the remaining half of the payment to Davis' bank account.
After receiving the bank information, Davis let out a sigh of relief, as if he was liberated.
Then, he looked at Xiao Ran.
"Sean, you will be my boss from now on. I will work hard and help you run the antique store."
When he said this, his face was full of loneliness and reluctance, which was quite painful.
The property that I have worked hard for most of my life is now handed over to others. It will be the same for anyone else, and it will be miserable!
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then comforted:
"Don't be too disappointed, Davis."
"At least you have kept your home, your wife and children are not separated, and you still have a stable and well-paying job."
"This is enough to ensure that your family can live without having to worry about life."
Davis paused, then nodded and said:
"Thanks for the job, Sean."
"Aren't you going to renovate that Baroque building? When will you start? I can work now."
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, you can accompany me back first to help deal with the lease of the boutique and cafe."
"After finishing this matter, you can go on vacation. I'll give you a week to adjust."
"During this week, wages will be paid as usual!"
Upon hearing this, Davis's eyes immediately flashed with emotion.
They then left the city hall.
The issue of lease changes for boutiques and cafes was resolved smoothly.
Xiao Ran did not take back the two shops, but allowed them to continue operating and reduced the rent of the two shops by 20%.
All businesses are having a hard time right now, and these two stores are struggling to stay afloat.
Because of this, he took the initiative to lower the rent so that they could breathe a sigh of relief.
If these two shops close down, I will have to struggle to find new tenants, and God knows when I will be able to recruit new merchants.
Rather than that, it's better to give others a little hope.
After dealing with the lease, Davis took Chandler and left, going to the bank to pay off the debt.
At this time, he already had $42 million in his bank account.
Unfortunately, only a few million dollars belong to him, and the rest will be taken away by the bank.
Xiao Ran returned to the antique store, ready to check the situation in the store.
As soon as he entered the door, Sam, who was staying here, came over and said:
"Sean, there were a lot of people visiting the antique store these two nights, and we stopped them all."
"Those guys are all here for the "Portrait of Mademoiselle Bogani" and other treasures. There are gangsters and art thieves."
Xiao Ran quickly scanned the situation in the store, then nodded with a sneer and said:
"Unexpectedly, "Portrait of Mademoiselle Bogani" is worth 40 to 50 million US dollars, which is enough to make people crazy."
"What's more, I also have some other valuable antiques and artworks, so it's normal for people to target me."
"But we can't be so passive all the time. How can we guard against thieves for a thousand days!"
"If you spread the word, tell me that the top antiques, cultural relics and works of art in my hands are all kept in the vault of Goldman Sachs Bank."
"If those art thieves are very capable, just go visit the Goldman Sachs bank vault, and the harvest will be amazing!"
"Hahaha"
David and the others all laughed.
Next, Xiao Ran walked around the store again, and then went to the second and third floors to take a look.
After a while, Anthony drove here with Elaine and Fang Yufei.
Later, Xiao Ran took the two beauties to visit the antique store and this Baroque-style building.
In a moment, the three of them had reached the viewing terrace on the top floor, admiring the scenery on the street from above.
Looking out from this terrace, you can see Rodeo Street not far away.
Xiao Ran pointed to the LV flagship store on Rodeo Street and joked:
"Elaine, Yufei, you have to design this building to be more dazzling than the LV flagship store."
"When my Feilong Zaitian Exploration Company is established, it will definitely become the most eye-catching presence in this neighborhood."
The two beauties immediately turned their heads and looked over, saying in amazement:
"Wow! It seems like you have great ambitions!"
"It will cost a lot of money to decorate this building more dazzlingly than the LV flagship store. Are you willing to do it?"
Xiao Ran nodded confidently.
"Don't worry, I have plenty of money, and there's nothing I can't bear to part with!"
"Perhaps before the company and the antique store opened for business, I discovered another amazing treasure and made a fortune!"
Before she finished speaking, the two beauties shook their heads.
"Tch! Just blow it!"
Having said that, they believed it in their hearts.
Xiao Ran's luck was so good that they could not believe it.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already around nine o'clock in the evening.
Xiao Ran, who stayed at home, started live broadcasting again.
But this time it’s not a live treasure hunt or an auction in the live broadcast room.
He is checking the identities of fans one by one, arranging for fans who have photographed the treasures from his hands to pick up the goods, and settling the balance.
The pair of Ji-blue glazed celestial sphere bottles, those high-end watches, etc. that were transported back to Beijing with Tang Chijin's walking dragon have been stored in the vault in Financial Street for nearly twenty days.
Xiao Ran's stipulated time for picking up the goods had already arrived, but it was only delayed until today because the fans who had taken pictures of the baby were not all there.
This morning, all the fans finally arrived and gathered in Beijing.
After receiving the news, Xiao Ran immediately informed his sister-in-law and asked her to take the treasures out of the bank vault and hand them over to various buyers.
What happened next went very smoothly.
After all the buyers arrived, my sister-in-law sent someone to take them to a conference room in the bank where the vault was located.
The next step was to confirm the identity and check with Xiao Ran remotely.
The first thing to be taken away was the pair of Yongzheng Ji blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles.
The person who spent more than eight million to take the photo of this pair of blue-glazed celestial vases is the guy who is never happy with his contentment.
To be on the safe side, this guy also hired a well-known porcelain appraisal expert to bring the pair of celestial sphere bottles with blue glaze to the site for appraisal.
Needless to say, he spent a lot of money in vain.
The appraisal conclusion given by the middle-aged porcelain appraisal expert was no different from the conclusion given by Xiao Ran and Jin Lao.
There is no doubt that they are indeed a pair of Yongzheng Ji blue-glazed celestial sphere vases, which are rare and precious.
Although he spent a lot of money in vain, the guy was as happy as a fool, with a bright smile on his face.
After getting the pair of Yongzheng Ji blue-glazed celestial sphere bottles, I was so satisfied that I paid the balance in full.
Seeing this scene, the guys watching in the live broadcast room all turned red with envy!
"Hey! I regret it!"
"At that time, I wanted to quote 9.01 million, but my hand trembled and I wrote 6.01 million!"
"If I quote 9.01 million, these pair of Yongzheng Ji blue-glazed celestial vases will be mine. How can I be content and not always happy!"
Xiaoyao Cheng said regretfully.
Before he finished speaking, he immediately attracted a lot of complaints.
"Just say it if you don't have enough strength. Why bother trying to make up for it! I originally wanted to pay 10 million, but it's a pity that I don't have enough money!"
"To be honest, I regret it too."
"At that time, my brothers took the real estate certificate to the bank door, but in the end they still didn't go in!"
Following this burst of complaints, a burst of laughter immediately erupted in the live broadcast room.
The second person who came forward to pick up the goods was a family member of the big dog owner, who happened to live in Beijing.
The big dog bought the antique Breguet watch for 3.85 million yuan.
As soon as his family appeared, the guy couldn't wait to say:
"Xiao Ran, you are right. This is my aunt, working in Beijing."
"Don't worry, give that piece of Breguet handed down to my aunt, and I'll pay the balance right now."
"I know, I'll inform my family right away"
Xiao Ran nodded in agreement and immediately told his sister-in-law in Beijing.
As a result, before the words were spoken, the big dog owner had already transferred the balance to his bank account in China.
It was only then that the aunt of the big dog owner took out the antique Breguet watch and began to inspect it carefully!
As the Breguet passed down from generation to generation appeared, there was another exclamation in the live broadcast room.
Just like before, another person slapped his thigh with regret.
