This is a theater warehouse, which is filled with various costumes and props for stage performances, as well as some billboards, sound equipment, etc.
It was closed for more than half a year, with no shows to perform, which directly destroyed many small and medium-sized theater companies and theaters on Broadway.
There are countless troupes and theaters that have gone bankrupt, and this is the storage warehouse of a bankrupt troupe.
As soon as he stood at the door, Xiao Ran had basically understood the situation of the warehouse.
There are no antiques or artworks in this warehouse, but there are some theater audio equipment, which are of some value.
The outfits and props stacked in this warehouse basically come from some very famous classic plays, such as "Cats" and "Chicago", as well as "Phantom of the Opera" and so on.
These classic plays are the most popular on Broadway, and they can be said to be ever-lasting.
Almost everyone who comes to Broadway to watch musicals will not miss these classic plays, and these operas are indeed worth seeing!
Almost every theater and every troupe on Broadway will perform these classic plays, with some differences!
Naturally, the outfits and props of these classic plays have also become very popular!
Although Broadway is now in a state of depression and despair.
However, when the current special situation is over, the previous prosperity and extravagance may be restored.
By then, the costumes and props of these classic plays will be easily sold.
Because of this, this warehouse attracted many professional treasure hunters on site.
However, this is not Xiao Ran's goal.
He glanced at the situation in the warehouse, then took Elaine aside and did not participate in the competition in this warehouse.
However, he still explained a few words to fans.
"This warehouse should belong to a bankrupt song and dance troupe. It is full of props and costumes from stage plays."
“I saw props from famous operas such as Cats and The Phantom of the Opera, as well as billboards for Chicago”
"There are also some theater audio equipments whose value is not very high, so I will not participate in the competition."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Qijiu suddenly said:
"The theater speakers placed near the entrance of the warehouse look very good."
"It's a pity that it's in New York. If it were in China, I really want to win it!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"That BOSe theater sound system is really good. Many people have seen it. It's not easy to find out!"
"Given the current situation, transporting that set of theater speakers back to China is the most difficult thing."
After chatting for a while, the auction of this warehouse was over.
The person who successfully bought this warehouse was a professional treasure hunter in New York, and the transaction price was US$23,000.
Next, everyone followed the auctioneer out of here and walked to the next warehouse.
The lower warehouse belongs to a small advertising company. It is filled with all kinds of sundries and many large and small boxes.
This was not Xiao Ran's cup of tea. He stepped forward and took a look at the situation inside the warehouse before choosing to give up.
He took Elaine aside and chatted with the fans in the live broadcast room as if no one else was around.
After chatting for a few words, Mr. Jin suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.
As soon as he appeared, the old man brought good news.
"Xiao Ran, the personal exhibition hall design and construction plan you sent me has successfully passed the review today."
"That is to say, your personal exhibition hall can start to be decorated, but it can only be constructed by the Forbidden City Ancient Construction Team, and it must be carried out under the supervision of the Forbidden City staff."
"Congratulations, you are the first collector to have a personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City!"
Following Jin Lao's words, the two live broadcast rooms exploded instantly.
"I'll go! Xiao Ran, are you really going to open a personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City? This is too awesome!"
"I haven't said anything yet. When your personal exhibition hall opens, I will definitely go there and visit it as soon as possible!"
Beixinqiao Wu Yanzu said with envy.
Before he finished speaking, he started talking while half asleep and half awake.
"Of course, I will bring people over to support you as soon as possible!"
"And I really want to see those priceless antiques and works of art that Xiao Ran has in his hands."
Not only them, almost all the fans in the live broadcast room also echoed.
For a time, barrages of congratulations and support in the two live broadcast rooms covered the entire screen like heavy snow.
It's a pity that Xiao Ran couldn't see this scene, otherwise he would be dazzled.
While congratulating and supporting, everyone was also jealous of Xiao Ran's special treatment.
Especially the rich and top collectors in the collector's live broadcast room, their eyes are almost bleeding with envy!
As a Chinese collector, who doesn’t want to have a personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City?
But no one has ever done it, and no one can enjoy this extraordinary special treatment!
It wasn't until Xiao Ran appeared that this miracle happened that made everyone jealous!
At this time, Xiao Ran was also very excited, even though he had already expected that such a day would come.
When the noise in the live broadcast room subsided, he immediately said:
"Thank you, Mr. Jin, this is really great news."
"I will arrange the decoration later and try to open my personal exhibition hall as soon as possible."
"We still need to rely on your strong support for all subsequent matters."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Jin said with a smile:
"This is not the only good news. There are several other good news to inform you."
“After joint appraisal by the calligraphy and painting appraisal team organized by the Forbidden City, the National Museum, and the Cultural Relics Bureau, it is now absolutely certain.”
"The volume "Poetry in the Tang Dynasty" written by Chu Suiliang, a great calligrapher of the early Tang Dynasty, that your boy discovered and sent back to China a few days ago is definitely authentic!"
"This regular script calligraphy scroll of Chu Suiliang's "Poetry in the Tang Dynasty" is exactly the priceless treasure that Emperor Qianlong couldn't put down, and it has been passed down in an orderly manner!"
"After reaching the definite identification conclusion, the Cultural Relics Bureau immediately held a meeting and immediately designated this priceless treasure as a first-class cultural relic."
Not surprisingly, the two live broadcast rooms immediately became excited again.
"Holy shit! A first-class cultural relic, a national treasure among national treasures? Am I hallucinating?"
"I can probably count how many first-class cultural relics there are in the country!"
Vpin Yuge exclaimed in surprise.
"How many first-class cultural relics does Xiao Ran have in his hand? Who can count them? Anyway, I can't count them!"
"Except for the Forbidden City and the National Museum of China, there are probably not many museums in the country that can compare with it, right?"
"When his personal exhibition hall opens, it will definitely be very interesting."
The unprecedented Lu Qing said with envy.
Hearing the exclamations one after another in the live broadcast room, Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile proudly.
Before his laughter could stop, Mr. Jin sent another piece of good news.
"The appraisal of the landscape scroll by Li Cheng of the Northern Song Dynasty that you sent back to China has also been completed."
"After appraisal and discussion by several top calligraphy and painting experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, it is certain that it is the authentic work of the art master Li Cheng and is a top-notch work of art."
"After some discussion, the landscape painting was designated as a national first-class cultural relic and a national treasure, and rescue protection has been launched."
"I have to admit, your boy's vision is really sharp, like a fiery eye!"
"Compared to this kid like you, us old guys are ashamed!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran became even more proud and beaming.
However, he still spoke a few words modestly to avoid being criticized by others.
"You are so flattering! Mr. Jin, I just have better luck. How dare I compare with you top appraisal experts?"
"Here, I would like to thank everyone for helping to identify and provide the best restoration and protection for those calligraphy and painting works."
"When I return to China, I will definitely visit you with good wine and tea. Thank you all!"
At this moment, Mr. Jin suddenly said:
"Then it's settled, I want to drink the 1982 special yellow sauce Maotai, but not other wines."
Special yellow sauce Maotai in 1982?
Hearing Mr. Jin's words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
In an instant, he had reacted.
Xiao Ran knew very well that Mr. Jin sent two boxes of 1982 special yellow sauce Maotai to his grandfather.
He knew in his heart where the two boxes of special yellow sauce came from. Anyway, they were not from Jin Lao's private collection.
Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on Xiao Ran's face.
"Okay! I will definitely visit you with the 1982 special yellow sauce Maotai."
Upon hearing this code word that only he could understand, Mr. Jin suddenly laughed heartily.
"Actually, you don't need to thank us, we should be the ones thanking you."
"If it weren't for you, how could we see these national treasure-level antique cultural relics and works of art, and how could these national treasure-level antiques and works of art be returned to the country!"
"As long as you can keep getting back all kinds of national treasure-level antiques and works of art from now on, I can get you whatever fine wine you want to drink when you return to China!"
The next moment, Xiao Ran gave a decisive answer.
"Just keep it up! Just watch my performance. I won't let you down!"
"As long as I find those national treasure-level antiques, cultural relics and works of art that have been lost overseas, I will take them all and send them back to the country!"
Following these words, a roar of applause immediately erupted in the two live broadcast rooms.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran returned his attention to the ongoing auction.
He introduced the situation to Elaine in a low voice and shared his inner joy.
After hearing the introduction, Elaine was so excited that she almost cheered on the spot.
Elaine knows very well what it means to have a huge personal exhibition hall in the Forbidden City, and she also knows how amazing the weight of the first-class cultural relics is!
Fang Yufei and the others, who were staying at the Plaza Hotel, had no worries and started cheering.
At this moment, the auction of the warehouse in front of me has ended.
The person who took the photo of this advertising company warehouse was a professional treasure hunter from New Jersey.
Afterwards, everyone followed the auctioneer and left again, heading to the next warehouse.
