After the call was connected, Xiao Ran asked curiously:
"Brother Ma, why are you thinking of calling me? Is there any good news?"
The next moment, Ma Ming's voice came over.
"You're right, Xiao Ran, I do have good news for you."
"The Consulate General has already coordinated the cargo space for you."
"The cargo plane will take off the day after tomorrow and fly directly to Beijing. Please prepare the treasures you want to bring back to China."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's eyes immediately flashed with joy.
"That's great. Thank you, Brother Ma. I'd also like to trouble the Consulate General."
"I happen to have a batch of things to be shipped back to China. This is really timely."
The guys in the live broadcast room immediately understood what was going on.
The next moment, cheers came from the headphones.
"It seems that we will receive the treasure we took soon. Xiao Ran is really a man of great powers!"
"Now that air transport capacity is so tight, he can still find space for cargo planes with all his energy. That's awesome!"
Lippi, who likes centipedes, said excitedly.
"Obviously, these are the huge benefits brought by Tang Chijin's walking dragon and other stolen top cultural relics."
"If you can help the country recover that kind of national treasure antique cultural relic, you will definitely be able to enjoy the country's preferential treatment."
The idler from Liulichang continued.
Before he finished speaking, several appraisal experts who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast unanimously made a series of good calls.
After getting down to business, Ma Ming was ready to end the call.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.
"Brother Ma, today I took pictures of two boxes of special yellow sauce Maotai produced in the early 1980s in Santa Monica. They are both good things!"
"It just so happens that I also want authentic Chinese food cooked by the chef of the Consulate General. Tomorrow I will bring a few bottles of the special yellow sauce Maotai to the Consulate General. Let's drink some together?"
Ma Ming seemed stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:
"The special yellow sauce Maotai from the 1980s? That's really good stuff. You're so lucky, no mountain can stop it!"
“I have only heard of the special yellow sauce Maotai before, but I have never seen it, let alone drank it.
"I heard that a bottle of special yellow sauce Maotai costs hundreds of thousands. Are you really willing to give it up?"
Xiao Ran smiled softly.
"There's nothing to be reluctant to part with! No matter how good or expensive the wine is, isn't it made just for people to drink!"
"If Uncle He and the others are at the Consulate General, please call them together. I just want to express my gratitude!"
Hearing this, Ma Ming was no longer polite.
"Okay! Thanks to you, let's try the special yellow sauce Maotai tomorrow. Is it as good as the legend?"
Apparently, this is also a good drinker.
After chatting for a few more words and making an appointment to go to the Consulate General tomorrow, Xiao Ran ended the call.
At this time in the live broadcast room, a group of drunkards were so greedy that they were almost drooling.
“Eating delicious food prepared by top chefs and drinking special yellow sauce Maotai aged for 40 years, this day is so beautiful that it’s bubbling!”
“I also want to drink the special yellow sauce Maotai!”
Listening to the constant discussion, Xiao Ran just smiled and did not respond to these guys.
How do these guys know the real purpose of his visit to the Consulate General?
The so-called wanting to eat authentic Chinese food and thanking the Consulate General for its help is just an excuse!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran and the others had walked out of the warehouse door.
Anthony and the others, who had received the news in advance, had already driven here.
In addition to the red Lafa, there were two full-size Chevrolet Suburban SUVs outside the door.
These two full-size SUVs were purchased by Xiao Ran and given to Anthony and the others to use as escort vehicles.
More importantly, both Chevrolet Suburbans are bulletproof SUVs, which are strong enough to withstand various small arms attacks.
The escort vehicle used by the U.S. Presidential Guard is this bulletproof Chevrolet Suburban.
In addition, Xiao Ran's Cullinan is also a specially made bulletproof SUV that can withstand the attacks of landmines and RPGs.
Seeing Xiao Ran and Elaine coming out, Anthony and the others immediately came to greet them.
Afterwards, everyone loaded the treasures on the luggage cart into two Chevrolet Saabs.
In no time, the trunks of the two full-size SUVs were almost full.
Xiao Ran stepped forward to check the situation and confirmed that there was no problem, then nodded and said:
"Guys, let's go back to Beverly Hills."
With that said, he took Elaine and walked towards his Rafa.
A moment later, the three cars started with a bang, drove away from here, and sped straight towards Beverly Hills.
Looking at Rafa's fiery red back, the eyes of several professional treasure hunters who had just walked out of the warehouse turned red with envy.
But they can only be envious and don't dare to have any bad intentions!
With those idiots in Lyon as a warning, no one wants to lose their head in the middle of the night!
It is said that that idiot Lyon's head was almost completely chopped off, and his death was extremely miserable.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
in the living room.
Xiao Ran has arranged the live broadcast site and is ready to start the live broadcast.
All the things I bought today are placed on the living room floor.
These include a West African wood carving and a medieval knight's helmet.
Tonight, Xiao Ran planned to dispose of some of the things in the live broadcast room and use the storage space provided by Air China cargo plane to transport them back to China the day after tomorrow.
More importantly, he wanted to complete the final identification of the West African wood carving and the medieval knight's helmet.
After returning home in the afternoon, he, Yi Lian and Fang Yufei carefully studied the treasures they bought today.
And they also reached preliminary identification conclusions.
But this is not enough. These appraisal conclusions also need the endorsement of top experts to truly determine the origin and market value of these treasures.
After setting up the scene, Xiao Ran just said:
"Elaine, it's about seven o'clock in the morning in Paris now, Pierre should get up."
"You can call Pierre now. It's daytime in China, so you can broadcast live."
After the words fell, Elaine nodded immediately.
"Okay, Sean, I'll call Pierre right now."
"The Louvre is closed during this period, and he is so idle that he is almost growing hairy. I just want to find something for him to do."
With that said, she took out her mobile phone and started calling her father.
Xiao Ran nodded, then entered the live broadcast room and started the live broadcast.
Many fans who were notified in advance have been waiting impatiently.
As soon as the live broadcast room opened, everyone rushed in cheering.
In the blink of an eye, the number of fans in the live broadcast room jumped from zero to more than a thousand, almost full.
There are even more of those guys in the collector’s live broadcast room.
A few days later, the number of people in the Collector's live broadcast room increased by a few more, reaching 25 people.
Behind each of the new fans is a well-known domestic collector or appraisal expert, and they are all quite powerful.
After the live broadcast started, Xiao Ran chatted with everyone for a few words and then got down to business.
"Next, I will find an appraisal expert from the Louvre to identify the West African wood carving and the medieval knight's helmet."
"Everyone can witness the entire appraisal process. After the appraisal is completed, we will talk about the follow-up matters."
"As for the identities of several experts at the Louvre, you can check online and compare them through videos!"
Following his words, the live broadcast room suddenly became noisy.
"I'll go! Xiao Ran's ways are getting more and more wild!"
"Not only does he have a good relationship with the top museums in the country, he even has a top appraisal expert from the Louvre!"
A year without a human being said with emotion.
Before he finished speaking, the quiet man continued:
"Don't forget, Elaine's father is the top appraisal expert at the Louvre. I found relevant information on the Internet."
"With this relationship, it is not a very simple matter to invite other appraisal experts to appear."
"Besides, the Louvre has been closed for a long time, so the appraisal experts have to eat, right?"
While he was talking, Elaine came over with a mobile phone.
"Sean, I communicated with Pierre and briefly introduced the situation."
"He is just sitting at home and can't go anywhere. You can have a video call."
As she said that, she placed her mobile phone on the live broadcast stand in front of Xiao Ran. The stand could hold seven or eight mobile phones.
On her phone screen, it was Pierre.
This guy seemed to have just woken up. His hair was messy, his eyes were sleepy, and he was wearing a pair of pajamas.
Apparently, he was woken up by Elaine's phone call.
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
"Good morning, Pierre, I'm very sorry to disturb your rest!"
Pierre put his hand through his hair, smiled and shook his head.
"Good morning, Sean, it doesn't matter. I should get up at this time, so I don't want to disturb you."
"I heard from Elaine that you have discovered several valuable antiques and works of art, and you want me to help identify them."
"This is great. I'm worried that I have nothing to do!"
Unlike Lao Fang and Aunt Lin, although Pierre had long known that Elaine lived in this mansion, he was not worried at all.
