About ten minutes later.
Xiao Ran and the others left the Plaza Hotel and drove straight to the lower city.
They were going to a warehouse sale near Zuccotti Park to see if they could get anything.
This was just a performance by Xiao Ran to attract the attention of all parties and create space for his employees to move. It didn't matter whether he discovered it or not.
Of course, it would be great if you can discover something!
As soon as the motorcade left the Plaza Hotel and not far ahead, Sam's voice came over the intercom.
"Sean, those FBI agents and homicide detectives who were watching us followed us as expected."
"Compared to yesterday, these guys are watching a little more closely."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Obviously, the experience of being teased yesterday made these self-proclaimed elites feel very humiliated, so they behaved like this.
In order to attract the attention of all parties, Xiao Ran and the others got on the bus from the hotel entrance today, so that everyone gathered at the hotel entrance could see it.
Naturally, two groups of agents from the FBI and the Major Crime Squad were also included.
When Sam finished speaking, Xiao Ran smiled and glanced back pretending to be casual.
The moment he turned his head, he had secretly turned on the perspective and quickly looked through many vehicles behind him.
Except for two teams of detectives from the FBI and the New York Police Major Crime Division, as well as a few media reporters, there were no other suspicious followers.
Regarding this, we can basically determine whether there are a large number of weapons and ammunition in the cars at the back.
In an instant, Xiao Ran had grasped the situation behind him.
Then he turned back and reached for the walkie-talkie.
"Copy that, Sam, since they're keen on following, let those guys follow!"
"Their existence can make many other people fearful and dare not act rashly."
"But you still have to be vigilant and don't let down!"
After the words fell, Sam immediately responded:
"Understood, Sean, everyone knows what to do."
After ending the call, Xiao Ran turned on the live broadcast camera and started the live broadcast.
It was evening in China at this time and everyone had time.
Xiao Ran had sent a message to the WeChat group before, so everyone was waiting for this live broadcast.
As soon as the live broadcast room opened, many fans immediately flocked in, and the two live broadcast rooms were almost full in an instant.
Before Xiao Ran could speak, everyone couldn't wait to speak.
"Xiao Ran, where are you going to attend the auction today?"
"Why don't you give advance notice like before? It's better for everyone to check the relevant situation."
"Didn't you agree to start the live broadcast at nine o'clock? Why is it so late?"
Dimlight asked curiously.
Xiao Ran took off the high-definition camera on his chest, filmed himself, and gently waved hello.
"Hello everyone, we are on our way to the auction."
"The reason why I didn't give an advance notice is for safety reasons. There are too many people staring at me now."
"If you announce in advance in the live broadcast room that you are going to attend an auction, the secret may be leaked or even lead to an ambush."
After hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
"You should be careful. You have offended too many people. I guess many people want to shoot you in the back."
He joked as he drove home.
"It's okay to be careful! You are now a super rich man, there is no need to take risks."
"If I had that much money, I would hire an army as bodyguards and no one would get close."
Lemon Tea Tree continued.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, and then explained a few more words.
He explained the reason for the postponement of the live broadcast. He only said that someone suddenly came to visit him, but he did not say that the visitors were two mafia bosses.
Of course, he didn't talk about the treasure map from the Revolutionary War.
Although there are many people who know about the treasure map, there is no need to make it completely public.
Next, he introduced the general situation of attending the auction.
Zuccotti Park is located on Broadway Avenue in downtown, adjacent to Wall Street, and surrounded by another high-end residential area in Manhattan. The environment is very good.
In view of this, there may be some good finds at today’s warehouse auction.
After hearing his introduction, many fans in the live broadcast room suddenly became more excited and wished they could fly to New York immediately to participate in this warehouse auction in person.
While introducing the auction situation, Xiao Ran pointed the high-definition camera outside the car and let everyone enjoy the street view of Broadway Avenue.
Today's Broadway is no longer beautiful!
Due to being unable to open their doors for a long time, many theaters and theater troupes have closed down, and those that have not closed down are also living very hard.
Broadway, which was once bustling and prosperous, is now dim and even a little dilapidated.
Homeless homeless people can be seen everywhere on this famous avenue. From time to time, you can see some camping tents and broken cardboard boxes like doghouses on both sides of the street.
The people living in those camping tents and broken cardboard boxes may include many actors from major theater companies.
They were once so prosperous, but after losing the spotlight, they quickly fell to the streets, struggling for survival!
After a while, Xiao Ran and the others had arrived at the storage company where the auction was held.
At this time, it was already around ten twenty.
The warehouse auction started at ten o'clock, and all the professional treasure hunters and other buyers participating in the auction had already entered the warehouse area.
The entrance of the warehousing company was empty, with only two or three security guards and staff.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Ran immediately said:
"We are late, the auction has obviously already started, I hope the valuable warehouse has not appeared yet"
"David, Marvin, you go to the auction with me, Sam and the others stay outside."
While he was talking, the car had stopped.
Xiao Ran immediately reached out to open the car door, got out of the car with Elaine, and walked quickly to the warehousing company's office building to register.
Before getting out of the car, he had already checked his surroundings for safety reasons.
After making sure it was safe, he opened the door and got out of the car.
David and Marvin, as well as the two company employees responsible for cleaning the warehouse, also got out of the car one after another and followed him into the warehousing company.
Sam and the others stayed outside, watching the surrounding movements vigilantly, ready to react at any time.
They have always kept in touch with Marvin, and if anything happens, they will rush into the warehousing company as soon as possible.
Three to five minutes later.
Xiao Ran and Elaine quickly arrived at the auction site, while David and the others followed behind.
At this time, the auction is in progress.
Currently being auctioned is the second warehouse.
Moreover, the competition on site is very fierce and the atmosphere is hot.
But Xiao Ran's sudden appearance instantly interrupted the auction in this warehouse.
Everyone, including the auctioneer, looked at him in surprise, stunned.
Some guys even thought they were dazzled and stretched out their hands to rub their eyes.
Before they could react, Xiao Ran smiled and said hello.
"Good morning guys, I'm Sean, nice to meet you all"
Following his words, everyone just woke up.
The next moment, the scene exploded.
"Fake! Why did Sean come to participate in the auction? This is not a good thing!"
"It seems that we have to accompany him on the run. It is probably difficult to take photos of valuable warehouses."
a professional treasure hunter whispered in annoyance, his face full of frustration.
"Who says it's not the case? This guy's vision is really sharp, and he's a super rich man. Why should we compete?"
"One more thing, this guy is famous for being cruel and ruthless, and he can't afford to offend anyone!"
The other professional treasure hunters and buyers echoed this, also full of curiosity.
At this moment, Patrick and another New York professional treasure hunter who were at the scene approached him.
They had met Xiao Ran before at the Art Space Auction House, so they knew each other.
After coming closer and greeting each other, Xiao Ran began to ask about the situation.
"Patrick, please tell us about today's auction. Is there any special news?"
"I randomly chose an auction, so I came here. I didn't expect to meet you."
"I don't know anything about this auction, please tell me!"
Hearing this, Patrick and the others felt deeply helpless and a little depressed.
We rack our brains every day to collect various auction information and select valuable auctions to participate in, just to make some money to support our families!
It's a good thing for you, you treat this completely like a game and randomly choose an auction to participate in.
Have you discovered that it doesn't matter to you whether you can make money or not, as long as you are happy!
It's really annoying to compare people to each other! This world is so fucking unfair!
Although he was full of dissatisfaction, Patrick still introduced the situation of the auction.
"Today's auction has a total of 16 warehouses for auction, including some warehouses belonging to bankrupt theater companies."
"The most valuable ones are said to be two warehouses owned by a futures company owner. There may be some valuable treasures in them."
"About three months ago, that guy got sick and died at home, so his warehouse was auctioned off."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.
While they were talking, they arrived at the door of the warehouse that was being auctioned.
Xiao Ran first nodded and greeted the excited auctioneer, and then looked into the warehouse.
At the same time, he also smiled and said:
"This is the second time we have met, Patrick. We are more or less acquaintances."
"As you know, I have an exploration company and antique store in Los Angeles, and I often need to replenish supplies."
“If you find good quality antique art, especially Chinese antique art, you can contact me.”
"I can consider purchasing it, the price is absolutely fair..."
Before they finished speaking, Patrick and the others had expressions of surprise on their faces.
The original depression and jealousy in their hearts disappeared instantly.
