The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.
When leaving the villa in a car, Xiao Ran found that there was another group of people watching him outside the door, sitting in a Chevrolet Suburban.
No need to ask, this is an agent from the FBI's Los Angeles Division, and the Chevrolet Suburban is standard equipment for these guys.
Before leaving his bulletproof Mercedes-Benz G, Xiao Ran secretly turned on the X-ray camera and quickly scanned the mountain road outside, and naturally saw this group of FBI agents.
Through clairvoyance, he quickly grasped the situation of the two FBI agents, such as their names, positions, firepower equipment, etc.
When he passed by the Chevrolet Suburban in the car, he glanced at the other person again and nodded slightly to say hello through the car window.
And that team of Los Angeles Police Department homicide detectives, he wasn't left behind either.
His action made those guys a little surprised and helpless.
"Fake! We have been discovered by this guy Sean a long time ago, and he is still following us!"
Inside the Chevrolet Suburban, the younger FBI agent cursed angrily.
"It's perfectly normal. Why don't you look at who Sean's bodyguards are?"
"Those guys are all retired special elites and have very rich practical experience and security experience."
"I'm sure those guys noticed us as soon as we arrived here last night."
Another FBI agent in his thirties continued.
While they were talking, they drove out and followed Xiao Ran and the others.
The two detectives from the serious crime team who were also guarding here also drove up and followed.
While following, the guys continued their discussion.
"The two professional treasure hunters and those gangsters who were killed some time ago were done by this guy Sean?"
"It can be seen from yesterday's fight that this guy's shooting skills are very accurate and ruthless!"
"Those fools were planning to kidnap him before, but they failed and were killed that night!"
"Now it seems that it is very likely that this guy Sean did it himself!"
The young FBI agent expressed his judgment while driving.
"We don't rule out this possibility, but we must get evidence. It's best not to mess with such a vengeful guy."
"This guy is not only ruthless, but also a super rich man. Money means energy!"
"The lawyers around him are like a pack of hunting dogs, they can tear us apart!"
The other FBI agent shook his head slightly.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran and the others had arrived downstairs at the company on Brighton Road.
A few days have passed and the company's internal decoration has been basically completed.
Next it’s time to decorate the interior and arrange it.
In another week or two, the company will be officially open for business.
Before that, we need to recruit some employees, build a company website, and open online stores on some large online shopping platforms.
For example, platforms such as Amazon in the United States, Tmall and Douyin in China.
Because of this, Xiao Ran brought Elaine and the others to the company today.
Elaine and the others are responsible for the design and layout of the interior decoration of the company.
Xiao Ran wants to interview several managers and recruit a group of company employees.
Although this exploration company is just a front, used to cover for him, it still needs to be presentable.
After the vehicle stopped in front of the company and it was safe, Xiao Ran and the others got out of the car.
As soon as they landed and stood firm, Davis, Ryoko and the others came up to them.
When they came closer, everyone greeted each other and exchanged a few polite words.
At this time, when Davis looked at Xiao Ran, his eyes were filled with curiosity, a bit of joy, and even fear.
"Fortunately, I didn't have any bad ideas when I sold this Baroque-style building and antique shop, otherwise I would have been dead!"
"This guy Sean looks gentle and harmless to humans and animals, but he didn't expect to be so cruel and ruthless. Killing people is like killing chickens!"
Davis muttered something to himself, and couldn't help but shiver and shudder.
Unlike him, Ryoko and the others were very excited.
"Xiao Ran, the fight you had on the airport expressway yesterday was so cool! It caused a sensation throughout Los Angeles!"
"It's a pity that we were not there and missed a wonderful show."
"Next time something like this happens again, don't forget to notify us. We also want to open our eyes."
Ryoko said excitedly.
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and then shook his head.
"It's better that this kind of thing happens less often, it's not a good thing."
"If you had been involved yesterday, I would have been invited to tea by the FBI."
As he spoke, he pointed to the Chevrolet Suburban not far away.
Following the direction of his finger, Davis and Ryoko both saw the Chevrolet.
These guys instantly understood that the guy sitting in the car was obviously an FBI agent following Xiao Ran.
Thinking of this, they were all secretly stunned.
In the blink of an eye, he was targeted by the FBI. This kind of treatment is really not something ordinary people can enjoy!
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran and the others walked into the antique store together.
After a period of renovation and renovation, this antique store has a completely new look.
The doors, windows, vaults, floors, etc. of the antique store have all been specially reinforced.
The store has also been renovated and the layout and decoration have been adjusted.
Compared with the past, the overall tone of the store has become brighter and brighter, a little more energetic and a little less stale.
The museum shelves and display cabinets placed throughout the store are once again filled with goods, a dazzling array of items.
These goods include not only some of the remaining goods from the antique shop, but also a large number of goods that Xiao Ran has picked up one after another.
Many of them are genuine antique artifacts and works of art, just of higher or lower value.
Although the store also sells high imitations, handicrafts, travel souvenirs, etc., the proportion has been reduced a lot.
As for shoddy fakes and inferior imitations, they have completely disappeared.
For this alone, no antique store in Los Angeles comes close.
After inspecting the antique store, Xiao Ran came to the reception area with Davis and the others and sat down on the sofa.
At this moment, under the leadership of Ryoko, the clerk from the nearby coffee shop walked in with several cups of coffee, bringing in a mellow aroma of coffee.
Next, while drinking coffee, everyone discussed the next development of the company and the antique store.
"Davis, the renovation of the antique store is very good, I am very satisfied!"
"The antique store can open for business, but it will still be managed and operated by you. I will come over occasionally to visit."
Upon hearing this, Davis immediately beamed with joy.
"That's great, Sean, I can't wait!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely run this antique store well."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then continued:
"One thing I want to explain is that because of my special status and now is also a special period, there are many things that I need to pay attention to."
"Our antique store cannot purchase anything from individuals, especially jewelry and brand-name watches."
"Those guys who come to sell jewelry, watches, luxury goods, etc., please leave me and I will not accept them!"
"Not only that, the surveillance cameras in the store must be on 24 hours a day, and everything that happens in the store must be filmed."
"ah!"
Davis exclaimed and couldn't help being stunned.
After a while, he asked curiously:
"Why is this? Don't antique stores always buy low and sell high?"
"Especially jewelry, watches, and luxury goods, this is a huge business in Los Angeles."
"If we don't receive the goods, how can we guarantee the supply of goods in the store? Our income will also be greatly affected!"
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then explained the reason.
"I am a Chinese and a super rich man. If I open an antique store in Los Angeles and do business, I will definitely become the target of many people's attention!"
"In this case, I must always be careful to avoid jumping into the trap dug by others and being plotted by others."
“What’s more important is that robberies and zero-dollar purchases are becoming more and more frequent in Los Angeles. I don’t know how many of them happen in a day.”
"In order to avoid receiving stolen goods and being framed, we cannot accept goods from individuals, no matter how attractive the price is!"
Davis paused, then nodded.
"Shopping for zero yuan? This statement is too vivid. Various robberies are indeed becoming more and more frequent now."
"It's all damn Bill 47. The guy who proposed this bill is definitely a brainless idiot!"
"Hahaha"
Everyone laughed and felt helpless.
After the laughter subsided, Xiao Ran continued:
"As for the supply of antique stores, there is no need to worry at all. This business does not rely on quantity to win!"
"In the future, I will frequently participate in various auctions to find more good things for the store."
"A considerable number of professional treasure hunters in Los Angeles and San Francisco will bring it to the store and sell it to us if they find something good!"
"All you have to do is remember to leave video evidence when purchasing, and clarify the origin of all goods, etc...."
While he was talking, Xiao Ran's cell phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Consul Chen from the Consulate General.
Xiao Ran took out his phone and glanced at Laixian, a smile flashed in his eyes.
