Looking at the nearly boiling scene, the crooks led by Wilson all had horror and despair in their eyes.
For Xiao Ran, they were filled with endless anger and hatred, so much so that their teeth almost broke.
These die-hard swindlers understand that if they insist on changing the starting prices of all subsequent lots, this liquidation auction will no longer be able to continue.
Not only that, Sean’s bastard lawyer will definitely take people like him to court.
From now on, you and others will never think about making a living in this industry again, and don’t even think about making a comeback!
If this matter is brought to the association, and if some guys add fuel to the flames, the relevant professional qualifications of myself and others may be cancelled.
Let alone others, those bastards at Bonhams would never let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury.
Thinking of these consequences, several crooks led by Wilson shuddered and shuddered.
They absolutely cannot afford such a result.
Several liars immediately exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and made a quick decision.
The next moment, Wilson quickly walked onto the auction stage and explained a few words with a smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our fault."
"Here, I sincerely apologize to everyone and ask for your forgiveness."
“Don’t worry, everyone, the starting prices for all subsequent auctions will not change.”
“Although our Art Space Auction House is liquidated, we cannot close down with a bad reputation.”
With that said, this guy bowed slightly to everyone present.
These die-hard liars are very adaptable and can apologize without any psychological burden. They just come as they say.
Seeing these dead liars making statements, it’s hard for everyone to hold on to them any longer.
Afterwards, everyone sat down and looked at the auctioneer on the stage.
The guy paused and quickly gave the starting price for the seventh group of lots again.
Compared with the previous starting price, this starting price is twice as low.
Comparing the two, everyone felt that the roots of their teeth were a little itchy.
As for Xiao Ran, the perception of these New York professional treasure hunters at the scene was a little better.
Of course, this does not include those guys who were tricked by him to the point of vomiting blood.
The auction continues.
As soon as the new starting price came out, Xiao Ran raised his hand to accept the bid and showed his attitude.
Several professional treasure hunters who were interested in this group of auction items also left the auction one after another and began to compete.
Xiao Ran, who was the first to raise his sign, stopped again.
Fortunately, everyone was used to it and just rolled their eyes helplessly.
After this episode, the auction is back on track again.
Those guys who had been keeping an eye on Xiao Ran no longer dared to bid, as if they were bitten by a snake once and were afraid of the rope for ten years.
In the next auction, Xiao Ran still raised his sign to respond to the bid in every round, once or twice.
Relying on the deterrence he had formed before and his strong financial advantage, he successfully photographed everything he liked.
Moreover, many items are sold at the starting price, saving a lot of costs.
To him, these cost savings are simply not worth mentioning!
Of course, he also took some pictures of things of little value, just to use them as cover-ups.
These items of little value will be shipped back to Los Angeles and sold in antique shops, as long as they can make back the cost.
During the auction, many buyers at the scene also reached a tacit understanding.
That is to try to avoid raising each other's prices and frantically competing for a certain group of lots, so as to avoid these scammers who get cheap art spaces for free.
In this way, the auction becomes much simpler and the process becomes faster.
A group of lots often only requires a few rounds of bidding, or even just one round of bidding before the item is sold!
These die-hard liars from the Art Space Auction House certainly don’t want to see this happen.
They let hidden agents take action, secretly raising prices, trying to break the tacit understanding formed by many buyers and reheat the atmosphere.
As a result, things went counterproductive, and the three trusts hidden among the buyers fell into Xiao Ran's hands.
After receiving several sets of lots at high prices, these deadbeat scammers in the art space were completely desperate and gave up resistance.
They just want to liquidate everything they have accumulated, and never want to take back some of it in some form, which can only be thrown away as garbage.
In line with the principle that no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat!
Wilson personally sent a signal to the three trustees to withdraw from the auction and stop raising placards.
As the troublemakers withdrew, the auction suddenly became smoother!
The auction, which was originally expected to take about three hours, ended successfully in less than two hours.
The next delivery process was also smooth.
These die-hard scammers at the Art Space Auction House were eager to get their money back as soon as possible and did not play any tricks.
As the buyer with the largest transaction volume, Xiao Ran was the first to deliver.
It didn't take long for him to complete the delivery and receive both money and goods!
As soon as the delivery was completed, Xiao Ran called Wilson forward and said to the liar:
"Wilson, because I took a lot of things, I need some help to pack and move them. I hope you can allow it!"
Without any hesitation, Wilson immediately nodded in agreement.
"Of course it's no problem, Sean, you can ask someone to come over and help."
"After today, this place no longer belongs to us, and we cannot store the treasures that already belong to you."
Xiao Ran nodded, then smiled and said:
“What if the person I asked to help was an employee of Bonhams?”
“Bonhams is a top auction house and we will definitely cooperate in the future”
"I believe they would be very happy to help me pack and move these things."
"ah!"
Wilson exclaimed and was stunned, with an ugly expression on his face.
The other liars next to him were also stunned.
The other professional treasure hunters standing around were all stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
In the live broadcast room, there was a burst of crazy laughter.
"Hahaha, Xiao Ran, you are really damaging me, you are addicted to being slapped in the face!"
Jingcheng Hua Shao laughed and said.
"I would like to advise you, Xiao Ran, don't go out while you are in New York!"
"If it were me being humiliated like this in public, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I didn't shoot you behind your back!"
Qianxun from Yuhang City continued.
However, this humiliation is nothing to those die-hard liars.
The shame of those guys has become thicker than the city walls, and bullets probably can't penetrate them.
After only being stunned for two or three seconds, Wilson bit his back teeth and nodded.
"No problem, Sean, you can ask the guys from Bonhams to come over and help."
"In fact, we also want to improve our relationship with Bonhams."
"That couldn't be better. Thank you for your generosity."
Xiao Ran nodded in response.
After saying that, he nodded to Nick standing aside.
Nick immediately took out his cell phone and started making calls.
Less than ten minutes after the call was made, Allen led a dozen of his men and pushed several luggage carts into the Art Space Auction House.
Those luggage carts were filled with large and small portable safes, alloy suitcases, etc.
Those safes and suitcases were naturally used to store the various treasures that Xiao Ran took photos of.
Obviously, these guys at Bonhams were ready and waiting for the call.
In fact, after lunch, Xiao Ran called Allen and asked Bonhams Auction House for help.
For Bonhams Auction House, this is a good thing that they can only hope for. How can they refuse it?
Seeing Allen and others entering their auction house again, Wilson and these die-hard swindlers gritted their teeth with hatred, but they still had to force out a smile that was uglier than crying!
Allen was too lazy to pay attention to them and came directly to Xiao Ran.
"We're here, Sean. These guys are professional biologists and will definitely protect the treasure you find."
Xiao Ran nodded and bumped elbows with Allen.
"Excuse me, Alan, I still trust the professional ability of Bonhams Auction House!"
After a few polite words, Allen said expectantly:
"When I received your call, I knew you must have made a significant discovery."
"Can you tell me what treasure you found?"
"If possible, I hope you can entrust some of these treasures to our auction house for public auction!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded in response:
"Of course, no problem. Next, I will introduce some of the treasures I just discovered."
"As for the entrusted auction, we will discuss it later. I believe we will have many opportunities for cooperation."
As he spoke, he pointed to the items placed next to him and changed the subject.
“There are both antique cultural relics and artworks from China and Western antique cultural relics and artworks here.”
"I am responsible for cleaning all Chinese antiques and art, and I will leave the Western antiques and art to you to clean and package."
"No problem, Sean, just leave it to us."
Allen nodded in response.
While he was talking, a department manager from Bonhams auction house suddenly interrupted.
"Sean, these violins come with cases. Do they still need to be packed?"
Xiao Ran turned to look at the guy and nodded affirmatively.
"Those three violins must be packed into a portable safe without any bumps. The violas and cellos must also be protected!"
"Among them are two famous Stradivarius violins, which once belonged to the violin master Paganini. Each one is worth tens of millions of dollars!"
Before he finished speaking, the scene and the live broadcast room were instantly in a state of panic.
"Oh my God! Two Stradivarius violins that once belonged to Paganini, did I hear that right?"
"Fuck! This is absolutely shocking!"
Amidst almost crazy exclamations, everyone looked at the violins.
Almost without exception, everyone's eyes were red, even greedy.
As for Wilson's dead liars, their faces were pale and they were all lost!
