In a moment, the boss of Bowenxuan came outside the store.
This is a Chinese antique dealer in his fifties. He speaks a slightly stiff Hong Kong language and wears a pair of N95s. The protective measures are in place.
Perhaps due to the special circumstances at the moment and due to caution, this person's hair has not been combed for a long time, giving off an aura of decadence.
The moment he saw Xiao Ran when he went out, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted him warmly.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Xiao, welcome to Boston"
"I'm Sun Bowen, nice to meet you"
Xiao Ran smiled, nodded and said hello, and said politely:
"Good afternoon, Boss Sun. Nice to meet you too."
"You are much older than me, so just call me Xiao Ran. It's more comfortable that way."
"This antique shop looks very nice. Can I take someone in to have a look?"
As he said that, he bumped elbows with Boss Sun.
After hearing his words, Sun Bowen paused for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Everyone here is a customer! When we open the door for business, there is no reason to turn away customers, let alone a top collector like you?"
"But the current situation is special. For safety reasons, you still have to disinfect before entering the store."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Of course, Boss Sun, we will abide by the rules you set."
"Not only will we disinfect, but we will only allow five people to enter, and we will not exceed the maximum number of people."
With that said, he stepped forward and started disinfecting with hand sanitizer.
Next, Elaine and Fang Yufei, as well as David and Sam, also came forward to disinfect with hand sanitizer.
After everyone finished this action, Sun Bowen took them into the antique store.
Before entering the antique store, Xiao Ran specifically warned his security personnel.
Guard the door of the antique store and do not let others into the antique store until you come out.
The notice board standing at the door of the antique store is undoubtedly the best excuse. No one can say anything!
Of course, Xiao Ran had already secretly looked into this antique store.
He would take Elaine and the others into the store only after making sure it was safe.
He already knew what antiques and cultural relics there were in Bowenxuan and how much they were worth!
While walking into the antique store, Xiao Ran was also chatting with Sun Bowen.
"Boss Sun, how is the business in the store now?"
"I just passed another antique store not far away and saw that the store was closed."
"It's the same with many shops on the street. Many are closed."
Hearing this, Sun Bowen shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it, how many shops in Chinatown can still open normally? Everyone is struggling to support themselves."
"The same goes for my antique store. It might go bankrupt one day!"
"The antique shop you just saw was owned by an old friend, but it has actually closed down!"
“There are still some goods in that store, but no one dares to take them over, so we can only lock the door and leave them there.”
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up and shone brightly.
When he passed that antique store before, he secretly activated his clairvoyance ability and quickly looked through the antique store!
There are still some goodies in that antique shop!
Especially some of the antique artworks placed in the safe, each piece is worth a lot of money.
The two most valuable treasures among them were placed on the shelves outside. They were obviously two unknown leaks!
Due to the special situation at the moment, life is difficult for everyone, so everyone unanimously chooses cash as king to survive the winter!
In this case, even if some colleagues know that the antique store has good things, they don’t dare to spend a lot of money to stock up on goods!
If it falls into your hands, you may go bankrupt!
But here in Xiao Ran, these problems don't exist at all!
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said:
"I didn't expect that antique store to go bankrupt. I thought it was just closed temporarily. What a pity!"
"Boss Sun, if possible, could you help contact the owner of that antique shop?"
"I want to take a look at the remaining goods in that store. If there are good things in there, maybe I will pay for them."
"ah!"
Sun Bowen exclaimed and was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, a look of surprise appeared on this guy's face, as if he had found a life-saving straw!
"Of course, no problem, Xiao Ran, if Lao Zhou knew that you could save him from the fire and water, he would probably go crazy with joy on the spot!"
"I'll call you later and ask him to come and meet you as soon as possible. Then you can have a good talk."
At this point, Sun Bowen suddenly changed the topic.
"As far as I know, there are many top domestic collectors and countless collection enthusiasts behind you, as well as many top antique and cultural relic appraisal experts."
"It can even be said that you have the entire domestic antique collection market behind you, so you don't have to worry about sales at all."
"I also heard that during this period you sent countless antiques and artworks back to China, making a lot of money, and you also collected many top-notch antiques and artworks!"
"Those are all rumors. They are a bit exaggerated and should not be believed at all!"
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head and said a few polite words.
Sun Bowen knew very well that this was just modesty and politeness.
As the owner of a Chinese antique store, he also has many friends and partners in China.
Otherwise, where do the high imitations and fakes in the store come from? Not from some places in the country.
Regarding Xiao Ran and how influential he is in the domestic antique market, friends in China have already introduced it!
After a pause, Sun Bowen continued:
"I have a merciless request, Xiao Ran. If you like something in the store, I'm willing to sell it at a discount. I just want it to be cashed in as soon as possible!"
"If you can help promote it in the live broadcast room and sell a lot of goods, I'm willing to give you a bigger discount!"
"As I said just now, my life is very difficult. I have to find a way to survive. This is the most important thing!"
While saying this, this guy looked at the high-definition camera on Xiao Ran's chest and the Bluetooth headset he was wearing, with eyes full of envy and hope!
Obviously, he knew something about Xiao Ran and guessed that he was doing a live broadcast!
That's why he said these words.
In his opinion, Xiao Ran may be the only life-saving straw he can get at the moment, and he is not willing to miss it!
Xiao Ran did not respond immediately, but fell into thinking.
At this time, several live broadcast rooms were completely boiling.
"I'll go! Listen to what Boss Sun wants. He is willing to give a heavy discount and dispose of the antiques and art in the store at low prices, just to survive!"
"There is such a good thing? Xiao Ran, why don't you agree to wait?"
Wan Li Feikong said in surprise.
"This is indeed a good thing. With Xiao Ran helping everyone, we can't go wrong!"
"If you can find some treasures at a 50% or 60% discount, you can definitely make a fortune by taking them back to China and selling them!"
Xu Shengbin continued excitedly.
The same goes for the rest of the people, all of them are echoing.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly nodded and said:
"Okay, Boss Sun, if I like something in the store, let's discuss the price."
"I'm doing a live broadcast now, and there are tens of thousands of fans online. Follow me to visit your antique store."
"If there are fans who like something here, after I take a look at it, if I think it is valuable, I will negotiate a deal with you on their behalf!"
"As for how much discount to give, I will analyze the specific situation on a case-by-case basis. I will try my best to fight for the interests of the fans and let them buy something that is worth their money."
"But I won't bargain without limit and make you unprofitable. I almost know the purchase price of these things in the store!"
"Ah! Do you have tens of thousands of fans watching the live broadcast online?"
Sun Bowen exclaimed and froze on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, the guy nodded ecstatically.
"It seems that the rumors are absolutely correct, Xiao Ran, behind you is indeed the entire domestic antique market!"
"You can look around at anything in the store. No matter what it is, the price is easy to tell!"
"As I said before, now I just want to survive and not let decades of hard work be destroyed in one day!"
"I'll contact Lao Zhou and a few other friends right away to inform them. You won't mind, right?"
Xiao Ran shook his head gently.
"Of course I don't mind. If your friends really have good things in their hands, I don't mind accepting them all."
"This way, I receive a lot of nice antique art, and you get life-saving money to tide you over, the best of both worlds!"
Before he finished speaking, Sun Bowen nodded hurriedly.
"That's great, I'll call right now!"
With that said, the guy took out his cell phone and walked aside to make a call.
At the same time, excited cheers rang out in several live broadcast rooms.
"That's great! Xiao Ran, the big guy just pointed at you to help with his eyesight, and he made a fortune!"
"What I didn't say is that it's too open!"
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then whispered:
"Okay, this time I can help you pick out some valuable antiques and artworks."
"The tens of thousands of fans in the four new live broadcast rooms have just joined a few days ago, so consider it a bonus from me!"
“But one thing must be said, the cost of purchasing antique art and related taxes need to be borne by you!”
"Based on the transaction price, I will increase the price by 15%, taking into account the company's costs and profits. After all, there are many people who have to be busy with this!"
"I may buy some things myself during this period, and I will explain them at that time to avoid any disputes!"
Upon hearing this, everyone responded immediately.
"Don't worry, Xiao Ran, this is a reasonable thing and everyone can accept it."
Xiao Ran nodded, and then whispered a few instructions to Fang Yufei.
Ask her to contact several international student employees staying in the hotel and immediately enter the live broadcast backstage to prepare to provide backstage support!
After finishing his instructions, he began to look at the goods in this antique store.
Bowenxuan operates basically Chinese antiques and art, as well as a small number of antiques from other Asian countries, as well as a large number of tourist souvenirs and handicrafts.
As for the authenticity of those so-called antique works of art, it is a matter of opinion!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had quickly glanced at the first half of Bowenxuan.
Just as he was about to retract his gaze and look at the items next to him, an excited voice suddenly came from the earphones.
"Xiao Ran, in the glass display cabinet on your left, is there an ice jade bracelet with floating flowers?"
"I just took a look at the screenshot. The jade bracelet seems to be of good quality."
"If that bracelet is really an A-quality jadeite, you must help me get it. I'm going to give it to my partner as a birthday gift!"
Marionette said expectantly.
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran turned to look at the jade bracelet placed in the glass display case.
After just two glances, he shook his head slightly.
"That's a glass bracelet that was pickled, filled and dyed, and the internal structure was forgotten. Do you still want it? This thing is not fun to wear!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the live broadcast room immediately, and everyone laughed.
