It's another new day, the sun is shining brightly, just like Xiao Ran's mood.
9:30 a.m., Burbank.
North Star Warehousing Company.
There is a warehouse auction here today, with a total of twelve warehouses up for auction.
According to rumors, several of these warehouses belong to an entertainment company that just closed down, and there may be a lot of good stuff in them.
After receiving the news, many professional treasure hunters immediately flocked here to hunt for treasures.
At this time, these guys were gathering in front of the warehousing company building, chatting and waiting for the auction to start.
While they were talking, two Mercedes-Benz Gs came crashing over and stopped at the entrance of Polaris Warehousing Company.
Two off-road vehicles followed behind, parked a little further away.
The arrival of these cars surprised everyone at the scene.
No one at the scene had seen these two Mercedes-Benz G's, and they didn't know whose car they were.
However, when the car door opened, everyone suddenly realized.
Those who got out of the car were Xiao Ran and Elaine, as well as Anthony and the others who were accompanying them for protection.
The first time he got off the car, Xiao Ran said hello to the professional treasure hunters gathered at the entrance of the warehousing company.
"Good morning, guys"
Looking at these professional treasure hunters, they were all stunned.
Some of the guys who didn't deal with Xiao Ran and even tried to plot against him secretly had fearful eyes and evasive eyes.
Many passers-by and treasure hunting enthusiasts came to join in the fun, but they were all excited.
"Fake! It's Sean, the lucky bastard!"
"He's here for this warehouse sale too, which is not a good thing!"
"I heard that he and his bodyguards killed more than a dozen armed robbers at once, and nothing happened. Is this true?"
"And this guy is still in the mood to attend the auction. Is there any justice left?"
There was a buzz of discussion at the scene, and many people were talking in low voices.
After the bloody fight on the airport expressway, many people truly realized how powerful Xiao Ran was and saw his cruel and ruthless behavior.
Especially the many professional treasure hunters in Los Angeles, all of them are frightened.
Through this incident, everyone has been determined.
Those two idiots Leon and White, as well as the gangsters who colluded with them, must have been killed by Xiao Ran!
And he most likely did it himself, but he did it flawlessly, leaving no flaws.
This made many of the guys who originally had an idea for him completely give up all their unrealistic fantasies and become much more honest.
Of course, there will never be a shortage of desperadoes in this world who want money rather than their lives!
There are still many people hiding in the dark, staring at Xiao Ran, waiting for opportunities.
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted.
Immediately afterwards, several professional treasure hunters I knew said hello one after another.
"Good morning, Sean, I didn't expect you to come to this auction. It seems that our trip today will be in vain!"
"Good morning, Sean, why did I buy two Mercedes-Benz G's today? This one is not as popular as the bulletproof Cullinan."
Xiao Ran said hello to these guys and then explained a few words with a smile.
"I heard that there might be good things in the auction today, so I came here to try my luck, hoping to gain something."
"As for the bulletproof Cullinan, it encountered some minor friction and lost a few pieces of paint, so it was sent for maintenance!"
"There is no other way, so I bought two bulletproof big G cars for transportation."
Hearing this, everyone at the scene rolled their eyes angrily and complained secretly.
"A little friction? A few pieces of paint peeled off? That's so easy to say!"
"A little friction from you bastard can cost more than a dozen lives. The price of this friction is too high!"
While secretly complaining, these guys were also envious and jealous.
Bulletproof Cullinan, Rafa, two bulletproof Mercedes-Benz Big Gs, top-end mansions worth tens of millions of dollars, and two more expensive private jets, etc.
There are also huge assets worth billions of dollars, and countless priceless top antiques, cultural relics and works of art. You bastard is simply inhumane!
In the live broadcast room, there was also a lot of angry complaints.
"Tch! Xiao Ran is too Versailles, he sounds a bit needy!"
Like Gao Fu said jokingly.
Before he finished speaking, there was an immediate roar of response.
"That's right! This is naked showing off, shrimps and pig hearts!"
"Are you still a human being? Xiao Ran, do you still have a little bit of humanity?"
Listening to the commotion in the live broadcast room, Xiao Ran pretended to be helpless and joked:
"What I said is true! Isn't it an exaggeration?"
"That means there is no second bulletproof Cullinan in Los Angeles for the time being, otherwise I would want to buy another one!"
With that said, he took Elaine into the warehousing company's office building and registered.
The live broadcast room was already boiling.
Everyone rallied to attack, condemning Xiao Ranhao's inhumane behavior.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the warehouse auction started on time.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ran did not find any surprises at this warehouse auction.
He took pictures of two warehouses in total, but it turned out that there was nothing good in the warehouses, and he suffered a small loss of more than 10,000 US dollars.
Of course, this is just a show.
To him, this loss is not even a drop in the bucket!
The purpose of the performance was to weaken his own magical aura, and he successfully achieved his goal.
The warehouses of those so-called entertainment companies only contain some very ordinary movie props, which are of little value.
The professional treasure hunters who took pictures of those warehouses all lost their money and complained endlessly.
Under current circumstances, with all cinemas closed and film companies tightening their budgets, who needs those movie props!
Seeing that there was nothing good in the warehouse, Xiao Ran immediately sold the two warehouses at a low price and left with Elaine.
The next day, they drove to Long Beach to attend a home auction.
Xiao Ran gained a little at that family auction.
It was a luxurious country house with many nice things in it.
During the visit, Xiao Ran discovered several antique artifacts and works of art that were quite decent.
Among them is an oil painting by native American painter Ed Hopper, which is a neorealist landscape oil painting.
Unfortunately, it is a work from the early stage of Edward Hopper's artistic career, and its value is relatively average.
In addition, Xiao Ran also discovered two antiques from the American colonial period, which were of good quality.
Together, these three items are worth only about half a million dollars.
For Xiao Ran, such a gain could no longer impress him and he didn't care at all.
Photographing these three items cost him more than $50,000.
The next day, he sold these three items for half a million dollars.
The person who bought them was Hollywood superstar Julia Roberts.
Julia also lives in Beverly Hills and is Swift's best friend.
It was through Swift's introduction that Julia met Xiao Ran and Elaine and bought the three treasures.
It was also on this day that Sam, Ryoko and the others completed their mission and returned to Los Angeles smoothly.
Next, the company's second round of interviews for recruiting employees begins.
After the second round of interviews and comprehensive consideration of the qualities of many applicants, Xiao Ran determined the final recruitment list.
The company manager he chose was none other than Miller.
The rest of the company's management and employees totaled twenty-five, each of whom had certain work experience.
They have either worked in museums, galleries and antique shops, auction houses, etc.
Among these guys, there are even two art dealers who have just been in the industry.
After confirming the list of recruiters, Xiao Ran asked Fang Yufei to call these guys and ask them to come to the company to work on the next day.
The reason why Fang Yufei informed was that she would be the chairman's secretary from now on, that is, Xiao Ran's secretary.
At this point, the preparatory work for Feilong Zaitian Exploration Company has basically been completed.
Just a few more preparations and you're ready for business.
In addition, something has happened in the past few days.
The bulletproof Cullinan and Chevrolet Suburban that were sent for repair, as well as the HK433 assault rifle seized by the police, etc., were all recovered.
After getting back the HK433 assault rifle, Xiao Ran immediately dismantled it into parts and destroyed it.
And it was witnessed by David and the video was taken.
The reason for this is to prevent the police and FBI from using this assault rifle to plot against themselves, such as manipulating the ballistics.
For the FBI, recreating ballistics is a piece of cake!
Immediately afterwards, he went to the gun store and bought two brand new HK433 assault rifles.
After the last firefight on the airport highway, he was still very satisfied with the latest assault rifle.
Then there is the Bell 525 medium-sized helicopter, which was purchased at a huge cost and has finally arrived.
On the day of arrival, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others to fly along the Los Angeles coastline in this top-notch business helicopter.
After one lap of the flight, Xiao Ran was very satisfied with the helicopter's performance and comfort, and he happily paid the balance.
Soon, more than a week passed.
Feilong Zaitian Exploration Company finally opened for business, but it was very low-key and few people knew about it.
Due to the special circumstances at the moment, Xiao Ran did not hold any grand opening ceremony.
With the opening of the company, everything is quickly on track.
Xiao Ran no longer had to fight alone, and his burden was suddenly relieved.
In the blink of an eye, it’s Wednesday night.
After dinner, Xiao Ran, Elaine and the others were sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and laughing and chatting.
At this moment, the mobile phone placed on the coffee table suddenly rang.
The call was from Sylvia.
Xiao Ran glanced at Laixian, and then picked up the phone.
The next moment, Sylvia's excited voice came over.
"Good evening, Sean, you must come to San Diego tomorrow, there are good things here!"
Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then joked:
"San Diego is the largest and most important military port in the United States. Is it possible that there is an aircraft carrier for sale?"
