In the blink of an eye, about forty minutes have passed.
Xiao Ran took a quick look at all the goods on display in Bowenxuan.
Among the remaining two-thirds of the goods, he found a lot of antique artworks of good quality, as well as two or three medium-sized leaks.
As before, during this process, he was searching for treasures while interacting with tens of thousands of fans in several live broadcast rooms.
He is not worried about being expelled again. Such things cannot happen one after another.
Even if there are such unruly bad people in the live broadcast room, they are beyond our reach.
Moreover, Sun Bowen has made his attitude clear and completely stopped those guys from thinking about it.
After completing the transaction, Lao Zhou did not leave Bowenxuan immediately, but waited aside.
He was waiting for Xiao Ran to finish sweeping goods here, and then go to his Liuyunzhai to deal with other goods backlogged in the store.
But little did he know that there were two big leaks in his store that were unknown to everyone.
It was those two big holes that were the real reason why Xiao Ran went to Liuyunzhai.
While waiting, Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen watched Xiao Ran's every move curiously.
As a result, the more they watched, the more frightened and shocked they became.
They clearly saw that every item Xiao Ran paid attention to was a real antique work of art.
These goods are only different in category and value, but I have never missed any of them.
As for those fakes and high imitations, Xiao Ran didn't even look at them.
This vision and insight completely refreshed the understanding of Lao Zhou and Sun Bowen.
Not only them, but also the tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room, as well as many appraisal experts, are also like this!
After checking all the goods, Xiao Ran walked into the reception area again.
Before he could stand firm, Lao Zhou said with emotion:
"We had an eye-opener today. I didn't expect your eyesight to be so sharp, even more exaggerated than the legend."
"The old saying is absolutely true. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth!"
"Compared to you, us old guys have lived as long as dogs!"
Sun Bowen, standing aside, nodded in agreement.
"That's right, I'm ashamed of myself. Today is really an eye-opener!"
They are not the only ones who feel ashamed!
The appraisal experts and many collectors in the live broadcast room all felt the same at this time, and they were all filled with emotion!
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then said politely:
"If anything, you two are being ridiculous. I'm just leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade!"
"With the guidance of many senior experts in the live broadcast room, I am able to perform like this, which is not worth mentioning!"
Hearing this, everyone just smiled and did not take it seriously.
Everyone knows that this is just a polite comment.
After chatting for a few words, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.
"Boss Sun, next I am going to select the goods. After the selection is completed, we will discuss the specific price."
"You can choose two quotation methods, one is to quote one by one, or you can quote a total price, and I will shoot everything I pick out!"
"As for those top-quality antiques and artworks you just mentioned, let's take a look at them last and negotiate the prices individually."
Sun Bowen nodded, but said helplessly:
"Okay, Xiao Ran, you can choose the goods."
"It is foreseeable that after being selected by you, my antique store will have no choice but to close down."
"You've swept away all the good stuff, what else should I sell? Why don't you go home and rest!"
"Hahaha"
Xiao Ran and the others all laughed, as did the tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran said jokingly:
“Anyway, there are no customers coming to the door now, and the environment is so dangerous, so it’s good to take this opportunity to go home and have a good rest.”
"It's safer that way. Just wait until the situation improves and then open the door for business."
"At that time, you have a large amount of money in your hands, but other antique stores are on the verge of bankruptcy. Are you still worried about not receiving good things?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Bowen and Lao Zhou's eyes lit up.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran walked towards the museum shelf and started to sweep it.
He didn't miss any of the antique artworks he had seen and commented on before. He picked them all out and handed them to Elaine and the others to put them down in the reception area.
These include several pieces of jade jewelry, a Kangxi hand cup with a multicolored dragon pattern on a yellow ground broken into seven or eight pieces, and a pair of Northern Song Dynasty official kiln plum vases engraved with stone hut patterns, etc.
There are also various other antique works of art, including several unknown leaks.
After a while, the reception area was filled with various antiques and artworks.
Looking at the treasures scattered all over the floor, Sun Bowen's mouth twitched with distress, but he could only accept this result.
After the selection was completed, Xiao Ran returned to the reception area again.
He glanced at the selected items, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Just these treasures, Boss Sun, please give me a price."
"As long as the price is right, I'll take them all, so you don't have to pay for them one by one!"
"The fans in the live broadcast room fell in love with these treasures. I bought many of them for them, but I didn't buy many of them myself."
Sun Bowen nodded with a grimace and pretended to be helpless:
"This is looting! Xiao Ran, all the good things in my store will be looted by you!"
"It looks like I'm going to have to rest for a long time, and I don't know when I can open the door again."
Having said that, his eyes flashed with joy!
In the current dangerous environment, if it is not for livelihood, who is willing to take huge risks to do business?
Sun Bowen is no exception. He also wants to stay at home and have a good rest all day long.
Wait until this special situation is over before going out to do business.
After a few jokes, he began to bid on these antiques and bargain with Xiao Ran.
During this period, many fans in the live broadcast room also participated, and everyone joined in the fun enthusiastically.
Just like when he quoted the price for the broken Kangxi yellow ground colorful dragon pattern hand cup, Sun Bowen did not ask for a high price.
He knew in his heart how sharp Xiao Ran's vision was, and there were a large group of top antique art appraisal experts standing behind him.
In this case, if you ask for a high price, you are just asking for trouble!
The quotation he gave was basically equivalent to 50% to 60% off the market price of the corresponding antique artwork, or even a little lower.
At this price, he also has a high profit.
The saying that an antique shop does not open for three years but does not open for three years after opening is not a joke!
When Sun Bowen acquired these antique works of art, the cost may not even be 10% off the true value, or even lower!
Because of this, he is willing to sell it at a price of 50% to 40% off, or 30% to 40% off!
In addition, selling so many things at once is definitely more appropriate than selling them piecemeal slowly, and you can make a lot of money!
If you take into account the current environment and the rapid return of funds, it would be even more appropriate!
Regarding the price offered by Sun Bowen, Xiao Ran basically didn't bargain and accepted it all!
Only for a few pieces of antique art that Sun Bowen was unsure about and the price was slightly higher, he would lower the price!
And there were very few of these things, and in a blink of an eye they had reached an agreement.
In just ten minutes, the valuation and pricing work was completed.
Fang Yufei, who was standing by, filmed the entire process and kept it as video evidence.
After figuring out the prices of these antique works of art, Xiao Ran couldn't wait to say:
"Boss Sun, now I can take out those treasures of yours. I really want to broaden my horizons."
"Especially the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flower God's Cup. I have long wanted to collect a set, but unfortunately I never had the chance."
Hearing this, Sun Bowen nodded proudly.
"Okay, Xiao Ran, just wait a moment and I'll take out those treasures right away."
After saying that, he walked to the vault with his clerk.
At the same time, several live broadcast rooms have started to explode instantly.
"Did I hear that right? This store actually has the famous Kangxi Twelve Flower God Cup. Is it real? This is so awesome!"
"As far as I know, the Kangxi Colorful Twelve-Flower Divine Cup is extremely rare in existence, and the complete set is even rarer. There are only a few sets!"
“I didn’t expect this antique store to have one, it’s incredible!”
The biting north wind blew excitedly and exclaimed.
Before he finished speaking, the voice of Mr. Qiu Guobo came.
"Xiao Ran, if Boss Sun's set of Kangxi Twelve Flower God Cups is genuine, then you must win it!"
"After you get this set of Twelve Flower God Cups, if you are willing to take action, the National Expo can finance the purchase!"
"The Forbidden City has a set of Twelve-Flower God Cups used by Emperor Kangxi. We can't let the Forbidden City be exclusively beautiful. The National Museum also wants to collect such a set of national treasures!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Qiu, you may be disappointed!"
"If this Kangxi set of colorful twelve-flower cups are genuine, I will collect them myself and will never sell them to anyone else!"
"You are welcome to visit me at home during the Chinese New Year. I can treat you to tea with the Twelve Flower God Cup."
"The feeling of drinking tea from the Twelve Flower God Cup is so refreshing just thinking about it!"
"Wow! You are so willing to serve guests tea with the Twelve Flower God Cup, but I also want to experience it!"
Jin Lao exclaimed, his words full of envy.
The others behaved the same way, they were all amazed by Xiao Ran's generosity, and all of them were even more jealous.
The guy who tried to fight before kept beating his chest with regret!
How could he have imagined that Sun Bowen would have such priceless top-notch antique art in his hands.
While talking, Sun Bowen led the clerk out of the safe and returned to the guest area again.
They each held several boxes in their hands, carefully!
Among these boxes are exquisite rosewood boxes, brocade boxes of varying lengths, and a portable safe.
After entering the reception area, they gently placed the boxes and safe on the coffee table.
After putting the things away, the clerk immediately exited the reception area.
Sun Bowen looked at these boxes reluctantly, with a pained expression.
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Ran and the others laughed.
"Old Sun, don't be reluctant to part with them. Since they are going to be sold, it would be a good idea to find a good buyer for these treasures."
"Didn't Xiao Ran just say that he will send these treasures back to the country to promote the return of national treasures!"
"This is a very good result for us and for these babies."
"But I'm really surprised that you have so many good things in your hands, but you keep hiding them!"
Following his words, Sun Bowen just woke up.
Immediately afterwards, he sent a few words of emotion.
"My antique shop has been open for more than 60 years, and it has been in business since my father's generation."
"These treasures have been collected by two generations of my family. Now that I have to sell them, I really can't bear to part with them!"
"But you are right, it is indeed a good thing to promote the return of these national treasures!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately continued:
"Boss Sun, Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely send these national treasures back to the country."
"If you want to see these treasures in the future, just fly back to Beijing and go to my private museum to see them. You are very welcome!"
After chatting for a few words, everyone returned to the topic.
Sun Bowen took the smallest rosewood box and opened it gently.
What appeared next was a square, gilt copper dragon seal, radiating bursts of golden light.
"This is the seal of Song Gaozong, and it is the famous 'Xuanhe Palace Treasure'"
"In the late 1970s, my father received this seal from an American veteran..."
With that said, Sun Bowen gently picked up the seal placed in the rosewood box and showed it in front of Xiao Ran.
Before Xiao Ran could react, Shan Lao from the Forbidden City said excitedly:
"That's right, Xiao Ran, this is the famous Xuanhe Palace Treasure"
"It once appeared on the "Edict to Yue Fei" issued by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty. The "Edict to Yue Fei" is currently collected in the National Palace Museum in Taipei."
"This seal of Fang Xuanhe Palace was originally stored in the Forbidden City, but was lost in the late 1940s."
"There is no doubt that this is a national treasure, we must win it!"
Following Shan Lao's words, the main live broadcast room immediately exploded.
"It's actually the seal of Song Gaozong, and it's closely related to the national hero Yue Fei. It's so precious!"
