After turning off the microphone, Xiao Ran immediately glanced at Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen, and said helplessly:
"I made you two laugh. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds."
"Tens of thousands of fans are watching my live broadcast. If I don't keep it all right, one or two bugs will appear!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhou nodded immediately.
"That's the truth. There is never a shortage of people who break the rules."
"What's more, it's on the Internet, so there are no restrictions!"
Sun Bowen's expression was a little ugly. The guy in the army was his friend after all.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that the other party would do something like this.
Before he could respond, Xiao Ran said again:
"The matter is here, how do you plan to deal with it?"
"Should we continue the transaction or refuse? Waiting to trade with that domestic counterpart."
"Of course, you can refuse, it is your right"
"This is the same set of rules in the domestic antique business in the United States. It may not apply here."
"If you choose to refuse, I will turn around and leave, as if I have never been here today."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Zhou immediately gave the answer.
"I won't do such unruly things, and I don't even bother to do business with such unruly people."
"Although we open an antique store in the United States, we deal in Chinese antiques. Of course, we must abide by the rules set by our ancestors."
"It is precisely because of the rules that Liuyunzhai can be passed down for more than 160 years. Otherwise, it would have been defeated long ago!"
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, but did not continue.
After a pause, Lao Zhou continued:
"More importantly, I urgently need money to save my life, and I can't afford to wait!"
"I don't believe that unruly colleague is willing to pay a large amount of money when he can't get these treasures for the time being."
"If he plays a drag trick, my whole family may be killed. I don't dare to take this risk, and I can't afford it!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately nodded and said:
"As expected of a time-honored brand that has been passed down for more than a hundred years, you are still sensible and see things through!"
"Now that China and the United States have suspended flights and coupled with foreign exchange controls, even if you trade with the other party, the transaction will never be completed quickly."
"This kind of rotten person who is unscrupulous and does not hesitate to break business rules will not do much business at all."
"I don't believe he is strong enough to eat the treasure in your hands. He will definitely use the dragging technique."
"Only when he completely brings you down will he show up, eat these antiques and artworks at cabbage prices, and make a fortune!"
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen are both old foxes who have lived for fifty or sixty years, so they naturally understand the truth.
Especially Lao Zhou, how can he afford it?
Sun Bowen might have had a trace of hesitation before, but now it has completely disappeared.
After a pause, Lao Zhou nodded and said:
"You are right, Xiao Ran, let's trade now"
"I can rest assured selling these national treasure-level antiques and artworks to you."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Of course that's great. As long as you sign the contract, you can receive all the payment immediately."
Immediately afterwards, Sun Bowen continued:
"Xiao Ran, I am willing to sell you the things in my store, not that friend who breaks the rules."
"The money you get is real. In this environment, survival is the most important thing."
Xiao Ran looked at him, then nodded and said:
"No problem, trade with me and you can rest assured!"
Then, he switched to English and introduced the situation to David on the side.
After figuring out the situation, David immediately took out the prepared art transaction contract and began to discuss the terms and details of the contract with Lao Zhou.
Seeing this scene, cheers immediately erupted in several live broadcast rooms.
"Awesome! It seems that Xiao Ran managed this heavyweight art deal, and he did a great job!"
"Is that grandson of the army here? Don't let me know who you are, otherwise I will give you a big blow. It's so shameless!"
The antique dealer who tried to cut him off naturally also saw this scene.
The guy was almost so angry that he lost his temper and started yelling at the top of his lungs.
"You idiots, if you don't make money even though you have money, are you mentally ill?"
"And this grandson, Xiao Ran, is so damaged. This matter is not over!"
Even as he was yelling, he didn't know.
His despicable behavior has already fallen into the eyes of some people.
Out of the need to protect Xiao Ran, relevant departments have taken quick action.
Start investigating his background and whether he has any illegal or criminal activities, and get to the bottom of him!
Maybe he won't have to wait until dawn, he will be given a silver bracelet and then sent to eat free prison food!
Xiao Ran, who was far away in Boston, was not idle either.
When David and Lao Zhou were discussing the contract, he turned to Fang Yufei and said:
"Yufei, send a private message to Mr. Jin and the others, asking them to investigate who this military guy is."
"I have to know who is going against me. From now on, he will never want to work in the domestic antique shop again!"
"Let the backend technical staff investigate again to see if any fans have rented out their accounts."
"Once you find someone renting out their account, you will be kicked out of the live broadcast room immediately and will not be allowed to join again."
"Before doing this, be sure to post a message in the live broadcast room to let everyone take a warning!"
After the words fell, Fang Yufei immediately nodded and said:
"Okay, Xiao Ran, leave this to me. I will definitely find out who the unruly guy is."
Hearing this, Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen couldn't help but trembled and were frightened.
This is too cruel! It’s clear that we must kill them all!
It seems that the legend is correct. This guy is indeed ruthless and never shows mercy to his enemies!
Thinking of this, Sun Bowen was about to say something, but in the end he hesitated!
Everyone knows that he knows that soldier!
However, Xiao Ran did not ask him for the other party's name and other identity information. Instead, he went to great lengths to find someone to investigate in China!
This made it clear that he wanted to deal with that ruthless guy, but he didn't want to make it difficult for Sun Bowen, and he didn't want him to be accused of betraying his friends!
After understanding this, Sun Bowen couldn't help but feel grateful, and at the same time strengthened his determination to trade with Xiao Ran.
He could see clearly that the guy in front of him was not someone he could offend at all!
After a while, Lao Zhou had read the contract.
This is a standard contract, all terms are clear, there are no problems, and there are no hidden traps.
Lao Zhou is an antique shop owner himself and is very familiar with this contract, so he has no doubts about it.
After adding a few items that Xiao Ran would be responsible for all taxes and fees, Lao Zhou and David quickly finalized the contract.
What happens next is very simple.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran and Lao Zhou had signed the contract and reached this heavyweight art deal.
Immediately after signing the contract, Xiao Ran transferred $50 million to Lao Zhou's bank account on the spot.
A moment later, Lao Zhou's cell phone suddenly rang.
It was a confirmation call from the bank manager that all the US$50 million had been received.
After hanging up the phone, Lao Zhou immediately let out a sigh of relief and relaxed instantly.
When he put the phone away, his hands were shaking with excitement and he was already in tears!
After he calmed down a little, Xiao Ran said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhou, I believe this money can solve the difficulties your family is currently facing and make life better!"
"There is one more thing that I think you should remind, or rather remind your children."
"In this special situation, it's best not to mess around. Lying down is the best way to get through this period!"
"The reason why many wealthy families have fallen into decline is not because their children have fun, but because they overestimate their capabilities in investment and entrepreneurship."
Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded helplessly.
"Who says it's not the case! My two sons have been struggling all these years and have lost all the wealth they have accumulated over the past few decades!"
"However, they failed to do anything, and coupled with natural and man-made disasters, they ended up in this situation."
"Fortunately, we still have these treasures at home, which can be sold for emergency purposes. I hope this setback can make them wake up!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran and Sun Bowen both nodded.
They also sincerely hope that Lao Zhou’s family can prosper!
After chatting for a while, Lao Zhou walked aside and made a phone call.
He wants to share this good news with his children and give hope and sunshine to those children who are trapped in depression and despair!
As soon as Lao Zhou walked away, Xiao Ran turned to look at Sun Bowen.
"Boss Sun, I wonder if you have any good treasures in your hands? Can you open my eyes?"
"Among the goods displayed in the store, there are indeed some good things, but the portions are not enough!"
"Liuyunzhai can produce so many national treasure-level antiques and artworks, I believe Bo Wenxuan is not far behind!"
Sun Bowen was stunned for a moment, and then said politely:
"Liuyunzhai is a time-honored brand with more than 160 years of history and a profound heritage. This store of mine cannot compare."
"But I also have a few good things in my hand. I believe you will be interested in them."
"They include a seal collected by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, an ink bamboo painting by Ni Zan of the Yuan Dynasty, and a blue and white moon-holding vase from the Yuan Dynasty."
"As well as an ink landscape painting by Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty, and a complete set of Kangxi's colorful Twelve Flower God's Cups!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran exclaimed.
"Ah! Song Gaozong's collection seal, and a complete set of Kangxi's colorful Twelve Flower God's Cups. Did I hear you correctly?"
