After admiring "Alehendra" for a while, Xiao Ran handed this top-notch piece of art to Nick and asked him to take it aside and put it away.
A few meters away, against the wall, there are dozens of paintings of various sizes.
Among these large numbers of paintings, there are oil paintings, watercolor paintings, prints, etc.
Their artistic styles and schools vary, including critical realism, impressionism, symbolism, cubism, etc.
The same thing is that they are all valuable works of art and have long been recognized by the art market.
In addition to these paintings standing against the wall, there are also many painting tubes of different sizes placed on the ground, more than there are standing paintings.
Those painting tubes also contained paintings of various styles and sizes, but they were not nailed to drawing boards or mounted in frames.
Because he is a painter, and he has inherited it from his father's generation and has a family background.
Among Alexei's collections, the largest collection is paintings, and the number is quite astonishing.
The number of non-painting antique artworks is much smaller.
They are equally placed on the floor or table, about a dozen of them.
While talking, Xiao Ran took another aluminum alloy suitcase and prepared to open it.
This aluminum alloy suitcase was also taken out of the secret room, but it was not hung on the slide rails, but placed on the ground.
In order to take out the suitcase, Nick had to get into the secret room and drag the suitcase out.
After taking the suitcase, Xiao Ran first looked at the appearance.
The suitcase is about one meter tall and more than 50 centimeters thick. Apart from some dust and scratches, there is no damage.
Moreover, this suitcase is very heavy, and I don’t know what is in it.
What makes people scratch their heads is that there is a rotary combination lock on the suitcase, but no one knows what the combination is.
Because of this, it was placed where it is now.
Of course, this is not a problem for Xiao Ran.
But he still had to put on a show so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Seeing that he was about to open the suitcase, everyone looked over immediately, and everyone was full of expectations.
At this moment, the MOMA curator suddenly said:
"Sean, the quality of these paintings in your hands is very high, they are all excellent works of art."
"Putting them together, you can create a large-scale Russian painting art exhibition, and it is a top-notch exhibition. Are you interested?"
"If you are interested, we can cooperate. MOMA is very happy to organize such a special exhibition!"
Upon hearing this, both Thomas and the director of the Guggenheim Museum's eyes lit up, and they felt a little regretful.
They were all regretting why they hadn't thought of this, but their competitors brought it up first.
Xiao Ran looked at the MOMA curator, then smiled and said:
"This proposal is very good. I will seriously consider it. Maybe we can cooperate."
"Let's deal with this suitcase now. I really want to know what kind of treasure is in it."
As he spoke, he looked at the alloy suitcase at hand again and pretended to study the password seriously.
After researching for a while, I found nothing.
Then, he turned to look at Elaine.
"Dear, have you found any information about Alexei and his family?"
Elaine nodded immediately.
"We found out that the dates of birth of Feixin and Alehendra may not be accurate."
"They were born in the 19th century and have experienced wars for a long time. Some of the information may be wrong."
Having said that, she still reported information about Alexei's family.
The information is a group of year numbers, including Feixin and Alejandra's birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and death dates.
It also includes Alexei’s birthday, as well as the birthday and death anniversary of his deceased sister.
After getting these numbers, Xiao Ran began to try one by one to see if he could successfully open the alloy suitcase.
If you can't open it with a password, you have to force it open.
That would also solve the problem, but it's a bit crude!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had tried four or five sets of numbers, but none of them were right.
When he turned the knob again and tried to unlock it with Feixin and Alehendra's wedding anniversary, a miracle happened as expected!
"Snapped!"
With a pleasant sound, the suitcase finally opened!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all smiled.
"marvelous!"
There was even more cheers in the live broadcast room.
Before the cheers died down, Xiao Ran carefully opened the suitcase.
Following his movements, the contents of the suitcase were immediately displayed in front of everyone.
This is a box full of sketches and manuscripts. They are numbered one by one in the box. The number seems to be hundreds.
There are also two very exquisite jewelry boxes in the box, inlaid with a large number of gemstones, which are dazzling and full of Russian cultural colors.
Seeing this scene, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
"Oh my God! There are so many sketch manuscripts. I don't know if they are Feixin's or Alexei's."
"If these are Fei Xin's sketches, then the value of these sketch manuscripts is also amazing!"
Thomas said excitedly.
"Judging from the extent of Alexei's admiration for his father, these sketches are most likely Feixin's!"
"According to the current market conditions, Fei Xin's sketches are also worth a lot of money!"
The general manager of Christie's Auction House continued.
The next moment, the answer was revealed.
Xiao Ran took out a few sketches from the suitcase and looked at them with joy.
After just two glances, he had already come to a conclusion.
"These are Fei Xin's sketches and manuscripts, many of which are masterpieces."
"Everyone, please take a look at this sketch. It is one of Fei Xin's masterpieces, the sketch manuscript of "Portrait of a Young Woman""
""Portrait of a Young Woman" is an oil painting created by Fei Xin in Kazan during his artistic heyday"
"Let's take a look. Does the young woman in the painting look similar to Swift?"
As he spoke, he held up a sketch and showed it.
"Hahaha"
There was laughter immediately at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
Everyone looked at the sketch first, then turned to look at Swift standing aside.
Many media reporters at the scene reacted quickly, taking close-ups of the sketch and Swift respectively.
The next moment, there was an exclamation of exclamation from the scene.
"It's true, Swift looks a bit like the young lady in the painting. It's amazing!"
"If I hadn't known that this sketch was created more than 100 years ago, I might have thought it was Swift's sketch!"
Amidst the exclamations, Swift walked forward quickly.
When she came closer, she looked at the sketch manuscript with bright eyes, full of surprise.
"Hey! The woman in this sketch really looks like me."
Swift said happily.
"Since you look so much alike, this sketch is for you!"
With that said, Xiao Ran handed over the sketch.
Swifty was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out and took it.
At the same time, she did not forget to say a few words of thanks.
After all, there were so many people at the scene, and many media reporters were watching, so I had to behave like a lady no matter what.
"Thank you Sean, I absolutely love this sketch!"
"You're welcome, Swifty, it's just a small gift, not worth mentioning!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed a large stack of sketches from the suitcase, and then turned to look at Elaine.
"Dear, here are some sketches by the art master Fei Xin. Take them and share them with everyone."
"Everyone who lives in this apartment can get a copy of Fei Xin's sketch manuscript, and everyone who sees it will get a copy!"
"I will also take out a hundred sketches of Fei Xin, hold a free lottery in the live broadcast room, and give those sketches to the winning fans!"
After the words fell, the scene and live broadcast room suddenly became quiet, and everyone was stunned.
Even Elaine and David were stunned on the spot.
They never expected that Xiao Ran would actually play this trick!
You know, this is the sketch manuscript of the art master Fei Xin, each one is worth at least tens of thousands of dollars!
The sketch manuscripts of some of these masterpieces have a higher market value.
It’s very easy to sell for more than ten or two hundred thousand dollars!
Xiao Ran gave away more than a hundred of these valuable sketch manuscripts for free. This handwriting was really amazing!
For a moment, the silence of the scene was broken.
"Did I hear you correctly? Sean, you want to give everyone here a sketch of Fei Xin's manuscript?"
"These sketch manuscripts are worth at least tens of thousands of dollars. Are you really willing to part with them?"
Bonhams general manager Charles asked in surprise, his eyes almost flying out of his head.
Xiao Ran looked at this old friend and nodded affirmatively.
"You heard it right, Charles, I do intend to give everyone a sketch of Fei Xin."
"Everyone has worked hard for a long time, so these sketches are a small gift from me. I hope you like them!"
The reason why Xiao Ran showed such generosity by sending these sketch manuscripts was his own plan.
The mouth that eats people is short, and the hands that take people are short!
He very much believed in this saying passed down from his ancestors.
The deputy mayor of New York, Thomas, and the media reporters at the scene are all worthy of wooing!
Giving them a little favor has only advantages and no disadvantages.
These guys took Fei Xin's sketch manuscript worth tens of thousands of dollars, or even worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. How dare they speak ill of themselves and attack themselves in the media?
When the right and wrong are clear, if they really do that, they will definitely be scolded by everyone as ungrateful and ungrateful!
Even if they have to write some questioning articles because of their stance, I believe they will be more restrained!
More importantly, today’s treasure hunt is just the appetizer!
The truly exciting drama will not be staged until tomorrow!
Before that, it is necessary to have a good relationship with these guys, especially with the media!
Because of this, Xiao Ran generously gave away more than a hundred sketches of Fei Xin.
Besides, even if he gave away more than a hundred sketches for free, he still had hundreds of Fei Xin's sketches in his hand, which were of no consequence at all!
As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, the scene immediately exploded.
"That's great! I didn't expect that we could get a sketch by the art master Fei Xin for free!"
"Sean, you are so generous! Thank you for your gift, we love it!"
At this time, the live broadcast room was like a volcano boiling.
"It's so open! Sean, we're just waiting for the lottery. My luck is always good!"
"The probability is 1 in 50! If you win the lottery, you will get hundreds of thousands or even more than one million yuan for free. Where can you find such a good thing?"
While cheering loudly, all the fans began to gear up and prepare to try their luck!
