Lower Manhattan, Little Italy.
"Bang bang bang"
The sudden sound of gunshots instantly tore up the night sky in this historic district.
"boom!"
The door of a building on the street was slammed open, and suddenly several guys stumbled out.
As soon as they rushed onto the street, these guys ran wildly into the distance, looking very embarrassed.
You can see that they all have guns in their hands.
There are automatic rifles, shotguns, pistols, etc., and their firepower is not weak.
Immediately afterwards, several more people rushed out of the building and chased after the guys who fled in a hurry.
During the chase, both groups kept firing, shooting at each other wildly.
In the blink of an eye, the street became a bullet-filled battlefield.
While they were running away in a panic and firing back continuously, the guys who were the first to rush onto the street were still yelling and cursing at the top of their lungs.
"Fake U! Tony, I treat you as a brother, you bastard actually betrayed us"
"I swear, I will kill you, you treacherous bastard, and send you to hell!"
The guys chasing him didn't yell back, but responded with a hail of bullets.
"Bang bang bang"
Accompanied by the piercing sound of gunfire, a large wave of bullets flew out at high speed, heading straight towards the guys who were running away in front of them.
"ah!"
A scream suddenly sounded on the street, full of pain and despair.
No need to ask, someone got shot.
At this moment, several cars suddenly rushed over from the intersection ahead, heading straight towards the guys who were running away in a hurry.
Before they even got close, a few guys came out of the windows of those cars.
As soon as they appeared, these guys started firing fiercely.
The targets of their attack were also those guys who fled in a hurry.
"Bang bang bang"
The gunfire on the street suddenly became more intense, like a storm.
People living in Little Italy and the adjacent Chinatown were silent and frightened.
Everyone moved away from the windows and hid.
But little did they know that the firefight on the street outside was just a prelude.
It was Xiao Ran who directed this wonderful drama.
But he was in the study room of the presidential suite of the Plaza Hotel, preparing to start the live broadcast.
At this time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Xiao Ran has arranged the live broadcast site and adjusted the lights and high-definition cameras.
The things that will be appraised and auctioned in the live broadcast room tonight are mainly Chinese porcelain, which have relatively high requirements for light.
Because of this, he specially arranged the scene lighting.
After some decoration, the study at this time was extremely bright, as if it were daytime.
Elaine and Swift, who were also in the study, were gathered around the desk, curiously admiring the fine porcelain placed on the desk.
Just like last night, the three beauties were all dressed quite coolly.
While they were still and moving, Xiao Ran ate some ice cream.
It's a pity that he can only feast his eyes on it!
Seeing that it was almost time, he was going to invite the three beauties out of the study.
At this moment, the mobile phone used to contact David and Sam suddenly vibrated several times.
Xiao Ran immediately picked up his phone and looked at the message he had just received.
The message was from Sam, informing him of the latest situation in the outside world.
"Sean, those New Jersey Mafia robbers hiding in Little Italy have been exposed and are running wild on the streets."
"To be more precise, they were betrayed by their counterparts in the New York Mafia and almost died at the hands of those New York mafia colleagues."
"Now they are being chased and intercepted by many people. They are in a very embarrassed state. They are all lying dead on the street in a blink of an eye."
Seeing this information, Xiao Ran just sneered and did not respond to Sam.
He didn't want Elaine and the others to know about this, so as not to worry about it.
After putting away his mobile phone, he invited the three beauties out of the study.
The main items being appraised today were porcelain, and little help was needed, so Elaine didn't stay in the study.
Just like yesterday, they can just stay in the living room and watch the live broadcast.
After Yi Lian and the others went out, Xiao Ran immediately opened the live broadcast room and started the live broadcast.
Fans in China had been waiting for this moment. When they saw the live broadcast room opening, they immediately rushed in and cheered.
The next moment, the live broadcast room was completely covered by the sign-in barrage flying like snowflakes.
Those with voice permissions couldn't wait to start speaking.
"Xiao Ran, you're finally online, are you all waiting so anxiously?"
"Manhattan is very lively today. Not only are there various Black Lives Matter demonstrations involving vandalism, looting, and burning, but there are also street fights with bullets flying everywhere."
"We all saw it on the news. The scene was so lively."
"There are rumors on the Internet that the fire on Fifth Avenue seemed to be related to you?"
Jiujiu Guiyi asked in surprise.
Xiao Ran did not deny it, but smiled and nodded.
"Yes, this matter really has something to do with us. Our escort team was ambushed at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street."
"The other party came for Paganini's set of violins and tried to snatch them away. As a result, there was a fight with my bodyguards."
"Fortunately, we discovered the whereabouts of those guys a long time ago and made preparations in advance. There was no loss, but the robbers suffered heavy losses."
Before he could even finish his words, the live broadcast room was already in a state of explosion.
"I'll go! It's actually related to you, and we're fighting on the street!"
"And with so many people dead, this must be too much fun!"
Xuefeng Wulei exclaimed, but his tone was very excited.
"You've only been in New York for a few days! You actually made such a big fuss, you're so awesome!"
"Besides, what kind of broken country is that? There's beatings, smashing, looting, burning, and armed robberies in the streets. What kind of chaos is this?"
"Is that really the legendary New York? Isn't that what war-torn Syria is like!"
Beixinqiao Wu Yanzu continued to speak, but his words conveyed the feeling of just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
The rest of the people were also very excited, asking about the situation of the street fight.
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"As soon as the fire broke out, I took a helicopter, took my lawyer and several employees and left the scene. I did not personally participate."
"And this case is still under investigation. Here, I can't disclose the details of the case casually, so please don't ask further questions."
"Let's get down to the business of tonight's live broadcast. I've brought all those fine porcelains. Let's identify and evaluate them together."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece of porcelain from the side and placed it in front of the high-definition live broadcast camera.
With the appearance of this piece of porcelain, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
At the same time, there were exclamations of exclamation in the two live broadcast rooms.
This is a general jar with blue and white glaze and red seaweed pattern. It is about 30 centimeters high, with a straight mouth, broad shoulders, narrow belly, and a flat sand bottom.
The shape of the vessel is dignified and grand, with rich blue and white hair color and exquisite patterns. The texture of the vessel is delicate and white, and it feels like a baby's skin.
On the bottom of this general jar, there is a six-character regular script inscription made in the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty engraved on it.
The only pity is that the lid of this blue and white glaze-red general jar is missing, and I don’t know where it was thrown.
Xiao Ran slowly showed the general jar over and over in front of the high-definition camera for everyone to enjoy.
And let everyone intercept high-definition pictures and videos for appreciation and identification.
After the display, he gently placed the general jar on the table and then said with a smile:
"Mr. Jin, Mr. Qin, Mr. Qiu, and all the appraisal experts, please help me take a look at this blue and white underglaze red general jar and give me some opinions."
"This piece of porcelain looks very good. I think it is a valuable antique porcelain, but I feel that something is not quite right."
As soon as the words fell, the voice of Shan Lao from the Forbidden City came.
"Xiao Ran, please tell me first how you analyzed and appraised it. We would like to hear your appraisal conclusion."
Hearing this, the other old men also echoed.
Obviously, these top appraisal experts in the country all have the intention of taking exams, or in other words, providing guidance.
Xiao Ran was not polite and immediately told his conclusion.
"Since you want to hear it, I will tell you my humble opinion. If there is something wrong, I hope you can correct it."
"Only in this way can I make progress and the many fans in the live broadcast room can learn more."
"Getting back to the subject, let's first take a look at the shape of this blue-and-white glaze and red general jar. This is what I think is wrong."
"The shape of this Jiangjun jar is very mature. It doesn't look like the Jiangjun jar from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, but more like the Jiangjun jar from the Yongzheng period."
"If my judgment is correct, then it should be a general jar from the Yongzheng period, but it is engraved with the bottom mark of the Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Shan, Mr. Jin and others could not help but start cheering.
"Well said, Xiao Ran, this is indeed the shape of the general jar from the Yongzheng period, not the general jar from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty."
"Very good, your boy's eyesight is getting worse and worse!"
Hearing these affirmative compliments, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile a little proudly on his face.
