After pretending to think for a moment, Xiao Ran said:

"Alan, let's talk about the auction of these violins later. We have plenty of time."

"The first priority now is to pack up and transport these treasures and send them to the safe for storage."

Allen was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, Sean, I'm a little anxious. The main reason is that these violins are so precious. They are all priceless treasures!"

"I suggest you find a vault with constant temperature and humidity to store these priceless treasures."

"There are many such vaults in New York specifically used to store antique artworks, and our auction house has one."

As he spoke, this guy began to introduce himself.

However, Xiao Ran had already planned it.

"You can rest assured on this. I have asked my employees to rent a high-security vault with constant temperature and humidity."

"After finishing some things at hand, I will start to deal with these precious violins."

"If there is a public auction, I would first choose Bonhams. I hope this is a win-win result."

Before he finished speaking, Allen's face was already full of surprise.

"Thank you for your trust, Sean. We will live up to your trust. This is the best news I have heard in the past six months!"

"If we reach a cooperation, with your permission, we will invite the top violin makers from Cremona, Italy, to come to New York to repair these violins..."

While they were discussing, Barry opened the cases of the other two violins and examined them carefully.

Needless to say, the results.

In addition, the Stradivarius violin is also authentic, and it was the violin once used by Paganini.

The Guarneri violin is also authentic and an extremely precious antique violin.

However, it is not certain that it was not a violin used by the devilish virtuoso Paganini, and further identification is needed.

This identification result made Barry so excited that his whole body was shaking and he almost burst into tears.

After forcing himself to calm down, he was ready to open the cases of the violas and cellos and examine them carefully.

However, Xiao Ran spoke up to stop him.

"Barry, let's talk about the appraisal of the other violins later."

"There are still a lot of things to pack and take away. It is not a suitable time for appraisal."

Speaking of this, Barry could only reluctantly take back his outstretched hands.

"Well, Sean, I hope you can let me participate in the appraisal of this set of violins later, and I will be very grateful."

Xiao Ran nodded and said nothing more.

Afterwards, everyone got busy, one by one cautiously.

According to the previously agreed division of labor, Xiao Ran took Yi Lian and several subordinates to clean and pack the Chinese antiques and artworks.

Allen led the Bonhams guys to clean and package all the Western antiques that Xiao Ran had photographed, while David stood aside to supervise.

On Xiao Ran's side, he was almost doing the cleaning work alone, and no one else could get involved at all.

As for Elaine, Nick and others, they are only responsible for packing and packing.

During the cleaning process, Xiao Ran was extremely careful and gentle with his movements.

Seeing this scene, anyone who is not an idiot can understand what is going on.

There is no doubt that among these antique cultural relics and works of art from China, there must be many top-notch items.

No one knows what these top antique cultural relics and works of art are, and no one can recognize them.

Only the two appraisal experts from Bonhams Auction House had eyes as bright as light bulbs!

However, they didn't talk much, but the envy and even regret in their eyes could not be hidden at all.

It is estimated that these two guys are regretting why they didn't think of coming here to take a look!

But who would have thought that a fraud auction house that was about to close down would have so many top-notch antiques, cultural relics and works of art.

If you encounter this kind of opportunity again in the future, you must not let it go!

Bonhams' two Chinese antique art appraisal experts secretly made up their minds and immediately turned around and got busy.

It’s better to be out of sight, otherwise the more you look at it, the sadder it becomes!

But the ones who are really heartbroken are those damn liars from the Art Space Auction House!

At this time, they were extremely certain.

I just missed the biggest opportunity in my life, and I personally let go of the opportunity to get rich overnight and completely change my life!

Thinking of this, these dead liars were so miserable that they all wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the sea collectively.

Looking at Xiao Ran who was busy, they were so filled with hatred that their eyes almost bleed!

They wished they could rush forward immediately, kick Xiao Ran away, take back all the priceless treasures, and put them into their arms.

However, the tough and eye-catching personal bodyguards next to them were enough to make them give up all their unrealistic fantasies!

While he was busy, Patrick, who was standing aside to watch the excitement, could no longer suppress his curiosity and suddenly asked:

"Sean, can you tell us what treasures there are in these Chinese antiques and works of art?"

"You acted so casually during the previous visits and auctions. Who knew you would find so many treasures? It's incredible!"

Xiao Ran stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at this guy, smiled and shook his head.

"The secret must not be revealed, Patrick, this is my secret and cannot be told to others!"

"What I can tell you is that there are indeed some top-notch items among these Chinese antiques, cultural relics and works of art."

While he was talking, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Hey! This surrealist painting looks like the work of the master of art Picasso"

"To be precise, it looks very much like Picasso's pastoral style. If that's true, it must be a top-notch work of art."

“In this painting, you can not only see Surrealism, but also the shadows of Velázquez, Courbet, and Delacroix.”

"You can also see some precursors of Neo-Expressionism. All these characteristics are very consistent with the style of Picasso's pastoral period works."

The person who said this was the head of Bonhams’ modern art department.

This guy is a top appraiser of modern art, a master who has seen it all!

Especially Picasso's works, which have a large number of extant works, I must have seen many of them and studied them deeply, so I can recognize them at a glance!

Following his words, everyone turned their heads and looked over.

Everyone's eyes were full of excitement and seemed a little unbelievable.

As for those dead liars in Wilson, they were extremely frightened and almost cried in despair!

How they wish this was not true. In that case, they would not have to suffer another fatal injury!

Unfortunately, it backfired!

Xiao Ran turned his head and looked at the surrealist oil painting, and proudly gave a positive answer.

"Yes, that is a painting created by the master of art Picasso during his pastoral period. It is very precious!"

"At that time, Picasso's artistic style changed again and he began to reinterpret the master's art, so there were shadows of masters such as Delacroix."

"At the same time, he did not stop innovating. His works became bolder, more colorful and expressive, and this is where Neo-Expressionism began."

"Due to the huge change in style, these paintings were once thought to be the erotic fantasies and hasty works of an old man, but now it seems that is not the case."

"There is no doubt that this is definitely a top-notch piece of art. Based on the current market conditions, it is worth at least around US$25 million."

As soon as this valuation came out, the scene and live broadcast room immediately exploded.

"Wow! Another Picasso work worth 25 million US dollars. Sean is really making crazy money!"

"Fake! Damn it! I clearly wanted to take pictures of this group of oil paintings just now, why did I stop!"

Many professional treasure hunters exclaimed, and some felt regretful and wanted to die.

The live broadcast room was even more lively.

"Fuck! Xiao Ran really has a pair of piercing eyes. He can spot any treasure."

"He actually discovered another Picasso painting. How exaggerating is it?"

The biting north wind said with envy.

"Judging from this situation, there must be many treasures in those Chinese antiques and artworks."

"Brother, I can't wait now. I will get one or two treasures to collect no matter what this time, even if I lose everything!"

Qingshi Linli continued.

Just when everyone was talking about it, something changed suddenly.

"thump!"

Wilson could no longer withstand the repeated fatal blows and fell directly to the floor.

The other swindlers were in the same situation. They all looked like their fathers had died and were in great pain.

Xiao Ran glanced at these dead liars, but was too lazy to pay attention to them and continued to lead people busy.

Soon, half an hour passed.

Everyone has cleaned and packed everything, including safes, suitcases, painting bags, etc.

Immediately afterwards, everyone moved these things onto several luggage carts or carried them in their hands.

After making sure that nothing was missing, Xiao Ran smiled and said:

"Guys, you've worked hard, now it's time to leave, let's go!"

After saying that, he carried a portable safe filled with Chinese calligraphy and painting works and walked first to the door of the Art Space Auction House.

The others immediately followed, and everyone's eyes shone with excitement.

In the blink of an eye, everyone has walked out of this scam auction house.

At this moment, a wailing sound suddenly came from the auction house, as shrill as a cuckoo crying for blood.

"Fake U! Sean, you are a complete fucking robber and a devil. This matter is by no means over!"

Xiao Ran sneered disdainfully and walked into the elevator that had just opened.
