Not long after Elaine hung up the phone, Xiao Ran's cell phone also rang.
This time it was Griffin, the famous hedge fund boss.
The moment Xiao Ran picked up the phone and saw Laixian, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
However, he understood instantly.
Griffin must have asked his men to keep an eye on his movements and notify him immediately if they found out that he was in New York.
There is also another possibility that this guy received the news from China.
It has even penetrated into the live broadcast room, so I can control my own trends.
Because of this, this guy's reaction is so fast.
The call was connected and Griffin's voice came immediately.
"Good evening, Sean. I heard that you brought someone to New York and stayed at the Plaza Hotel."
"Welcome to New York. I didn't expect you to come to New York so quickly."
This guy makes no secret of it and always pays attention to his whereabouts.
Maybe he also knows that covering up is useless and unnecessary.
"Good evening, Griffin, your news is so timely!"
"I just arrived this afternoon, and you received the news right now. This efficiency is really admirable!"
Xiao Ran smiled and said hello to the other party.
At this time, he was very sure that there must be many people who knew that he came to New York.
Among these people, there are stars like Swift who are full and have nothing to do, and there are also old foxes like Griffin who want to cooperate with them.
But more of them must be the guys hiding in the dark and staring closely at themselves.
Such as the FBI, CIA, etc., as well as other guys with ulterior motives.
"Hedge funds are an industry that pays great attention to timeliness, so it won't work if it's not efficient!"
"Before you come to New York, it would be great if you contacted me. I can ask someone to help you arrange some things."
"In the Plaza Hotel where you are staying, there are two luxury apartments owned by our company. You can use them for free!"
If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!
Xiao Ran knew what Griffin was planning.
He was not willing to owe this Wall Street boss a favor for a small gain. It was simply not worth it!
This kind of heavyweight must be used at critical moments, not for such trivial matters.
Like Swift, Xiao Ran politely rejected Griffin's kindness.
Next, they chatted.
Xiao Ran made a random excuse, saying that he was coming to New York to attend a few auctions.
As for how credible this excuse is, who cares?
Hearing that he came to New York to hunt for treasure, Griffin immediately became very interested.
He said that he also wanted to collect some valuable top antiques, cultural relics and works of art to expand his collection.
If Xiao Ran makes a major discovery in New York, such as some top-notch antiques, cultural relics and works of art, he is willing to pay a high price to acquire them.
How could Xiao Ran refuse such a good thing?
After chatting for a while, they ended the call.
Next, Xiao Ran made another video call to his sister-in-law and discussed opening a personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China.
Just this morning, Beijing time, my sister-in-law has received the approval from the Cultural Relics Bureau.
As Jin Lao and Mr. Qiu said before, the Cultural Heritage Administration allowed Xiao Ran to open a personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City and the National Museum, and gave very generous conditions.
When I received the approval from the Cultural Relics Bureau, my sister-in-law was so excited that she couldn’t believe it and wondered if she was dreaming.
She called Xiao Ran at that time to confirm, and after getting the definite answer, she even cheered directly on the phone.
At that time, Xiao Ran was shopping with Yi Lian and Fang Yufei.
Seeing that his sister-in-law was so excited, he did not discuss the matter.
A few hours later, my sister-in-law's mood has basically calmed down, and she can naturally discuss this matter.
During the video call, Xiao Ran talked about his ideas for the two personal exhibition halls, as well as his development plans and so on.
Of course, these are just his preliminary ideas, which are not yet mature and need further improvement.
After saying this, he asked his sister-in-law to go to the Forbidden City and the National Museum for on-site inspection, and bring back the relevant drawings of the two exhibition halls for design.
As the future manager of two personal exhibition halls, my sister-in-law was naturally very enthusiastic and agreed very happily.
This video call lasted for nearly an hour and just ended.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ran entered the live broadcast room without stopping and started the live broadcast.
As soon as he entered the live broadcast room, many fans rushed in cheering.
Before he could speak, everyone started talking.
"Xiao Ran, have you thought about the auction you will attend tomorrow?"
"Everyone wants to see what treasures you can find in New York."
“It would be great if we could discover a few national treasure-level antiques and cultural relics!”
Tian Shen Yu couldn't wait to ask.
"As far as I know, New York is the largest and most important art center in the world today, as well as the most mature trading center for antiques, cultural relics and art."
"There are certainly many more top-notch antiques and artworks hidden in this city than in cities like Los Angeles."
"Since you've arrived in New York, you can't let go of this good opportunity to make a fortune."
Boss Mo from Lao Pavilion continued.
The rest of the fans are the same. They are very concerned about Xiao Ran attending the auction tomorrow, and are very much looking forward to him making surprising discoveries.
In that case, everyone can follow suit and maybe get one or two valuable antiques and works of art.
The antique cultural relics and artworks, gold and silver treasures, rough gemstones, various luxury goods, and other treasures that Xiao Ran had sent back home before.
After a half-month safety period, they were picked up by many buyers one after another and collected into their own pockets.
No one raised any objection to the authenticity and quality of those treasures. Every treasure was undoubtedly authentic and slightly lower than the market price.
Such a result made everyone have great trust in Xiao Ran's vision and full of expectations for his every treasure hunt.
Those who were originally doubtful had no doubts after Xiao Ran proposed that the goods could be inspected domestically before delivery!
At this time, everyone wanted Xiao Ran to spin around twenty-four times and rush to various places in Europe and America to hunt for treasures.
In this way, you can discover more valuable treasures to satisfy everyone's strong desire to buy!
Listening to these discussions in the live broadcast room, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
"Everyone is right. New York is indeed a bigger market, and there are more good things hidden in this city!"
"But it's not that easy to find national treasure-level antiques. I had good luck before, but I can't guarantee that my luck will still be that good now!"
"After investigation by my staff, there will be a total of nine auctions of different sizes in New York tomorrow, scattered in different districts of New York."
“Four of the auctions were in Manhattan. I was new to New York and was not very familiar with it, so I decided to attend the auctions in Manhattan.”
Hearing this, everyone became more excited.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Ran, what auctions are there in Manhattan tomorrow?"
"Everyone can give some advice and choose an interesting one to participate."
Moon Night Hua Qingming said with expectation.
Xiao Ran nodded and immediately listed these auctions.
"The first one was a container auction. There were a total of thirty containers auctioned at the Hudson River Terminal. It was the largest auction!"
"The second one is the liquidation of a bankrupt leather bag auction house in the Upper West Side. The scale is not small. There may be some good stuff."
"The third event is a warehouse auction near Chelsea Market in downtown. There are twelve warehouses in total. This location is good and it is a famous dining and shopping destination in New York!"
"The fourth auction was held near Columbia University. It was a home auction. It seemed to be the belongings of a bankrupt business owner..."
As Xiao Ran listed these auctions one by one, the live broadcast room suddenly became as lively as a boiling pot!
Everyone started discussing enthusiastically that they should go to the auction tomorrow.
For Xiao Ran, it doesn't matter which auction he attends, it's just a cover!
But who can be sure that there won’t be any surprising discoveries!
