In just about ten minutes, Xiao Ran's motorcade had arrived at Ginza 1-chome Street.
Arriving here, the motorcade immediately pulled over and stopped.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Xiao Ran opened the car door and got out of the car, landing on the sidewalk on the street.
At this time, Ginza 1-chome Street was already bustling.
Most of the shops on the street are open, crowded with people and busy with traffic.
The appearance of Xiao Ran and his group immediately caused a commotion on the streets of 1-chome and attracted countless attention.
Especially Xiao Ran attracted the attention of everyone nearby, and everyone looked at him curiously.
The eyes of some of the guys were even a little fanatical, and they were all eager to try and wanted to rush up to them for autographs and photos.
This is perfectly normal in Japan, where idol worship culture is prevalent!
However, the security team members who were heavily armed and on high alert around Xiao Ran.
As well as the two US Marine Corps military vehicles in front and behind, it made many people feel terrified and a little scared!
For safety reasons and to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Those eager young people did not dare to come up to ask for autographs or photos. They just stood a little further away and looked at this side.
Xiao Ran had been used to this kind of situation for a long time and didn't take it seriously at all.
He knew very well that after last night's violent conflict, everyone in Tokyo already knew that he had arrived in Japan.
Among them are some people with ulterior motives, as well as professionals in the field of collecting Japanese antiques and art, as well as colleagues in the field of treasure hunting.
After getting out of the car, he quickly scanned the situation on the street, and then began to assign tasks to Anthony and the others.
"Anthony, take a few guys with us and visit nearby antique shops and galleries together."
"The other guys and Will are following us in their cars, ready to pick us up at any time."
"Some of the surrounding streets and alleys are relatively narrow, so vehicles don't have to enter. They can just park at the street entrances and alleys!"
"During this process, everyone must be more vigilant to prevent accidents."
Upon hearing this, Anthony immediately nodded and said:
"Understood, Sean, just leave the security issues to us!"
Next, Xiao Ran gave these guys a few more words.
Anthony and the others took action immediately and quickly completed the division of labor.
After they completed this action, Xiao Ran glanced at the surrounding situation, and then said with a smile:
"Let's get started, I hope we can find something today"
With that said, he stepped out and walked forward along the street.
Before coming to Japan, he had already prepared a guide and knew where the antique shops nearby were.
Moreover, he also shoulders a secret mission and is preparing to secretly investigate the antique store Ma Ming mentioned.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Lin, Wang Jue, David and Anthony all followed, and everyone was quite excited.
Especially Xu Lin and Wang Jue, their eyes were shining with excitement and full of anticipation.
Several bulletproof SUVs and two military vehicles parked on the roadside also moved and slowly followed.
These cars were driving outside Xiao Ran and the others. With their tall bodies, they formed a tall defensive barrier.
As a result, if people on the opposite side of the road want to see Xiao Ran and the others, they have to go around to the front or back of the motorcade and cannot see them directly.
Naturally, no one can attack Xiao Ran and others from across the street or when driving by in a car!
Several security team members who were walking with Xiao Ran were scattered around him, watching the movements around him closely, ready to respond at any time.
In addition, Walker and others pretended to be tourists and hid in the crowd to protect them secretly.
At this time, Xiao Ran looked exposed, but in fact he was very safe. No one could threaten him at all.
More importantly, he is very powerful and capable of dealing with any emergencies.
While walking, Xiao Ran looked at the surrounding street scene while introducing David and the others about the Japanese antique shop.
"The neighborhood we are visiting today, starting from Ginza 1-chome, going to Kyobashi and ending at Nihonbashi, is the area with the highest concentration of antique shops in Tokyo, with more than a hundred antique shops in total."
"On the signs of Japanese antique shops, they will basically have words such as ancient art, ancient ceramics, antiques, etc., which means they are antique shops."
"Japanese antique stores are roughly divided into three types. One is stores that specialize in local, Japanese antiques. There are quite a few of these stores!"
"The second type is a store that specializes in Chinese antiques and art, and there are quite a few of them; the third type is a hodgepodge of Chinese, Japanese, and Western antiques and art."
"In addition, there are some second-hand shops, which are more like second-hand shops and flea markets. They mainly deal in various second-hand items, such as second-hand luxury goods, etc."
While they were talking, they came to the door of an antique store and stopped.
Just as Xiao Ran said, on the signboard at the entrance of this Japanese antique store, the words antiques, ancient art, swords, calligraphy and painting sales were clearly written.
Moreover, these words are all Chinese characters, which are clear at a glance and Xiao Ran can understand them.
In addition to these Chinese characters, there are also some Japanese characters written on the signboards and windows, but the specific meaning is unknown!
This antique shop is not big, but it occupies a good location in a prime location.
In the transparent windows on both sides of the antique store entrance, there are some antique cultural relics and works of art for display and attracting customers!
In the window on the left, there is a pair of ancient Japanese samurai armor, samurai swords and other items on display, which are distinctive!
In the display window on the right side of the door, there are several pieces of Chinese porcelain and a gilt-bronze Buddha statue from Tibetan Buddhism, both of which look quite exquisite.
Xiao Ran glanced at the door of this antique store and then said:
"It can be seen that this is an antique store that sells both Chinese and Japanese antiques. There may also be Western antiques and art in it."
"Let's go in and take a look. We might find something surprising."
With that said, he walked towards the door of the antique store.
Xu Lin and David followed immediately, and everyone was in high spirits.
In the blink of an eye, several of them had entered the Miura antique store and disappeared from people's sight.
Seeing this scene, the guys on the street who were watching the excitement were all stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, many people reacted.
"I understand, this guy Sean came to Tokyo, probably because of Tokyo's prosperous antique art market!"
"Before, in Los Angeles, New York and other big cities in the United States, I heard that he raided and looted countless antique stores and swept away countless valuable antique works of art!"
"If this is the case, then this is definitely not good news. The Tokyo antique art market will probably experience a catastrophe and be robbed crazily by this guy!"
The people watching the excitement on the street, as well as the many media reporters who followed, started talking about it.
Some of them had worried eyes.
At the same time, the news that Xiao Ran brought people to Ginza 1-chome and entered this antique shop spread quickly and reached many people's ears.
Among these people are some insiders in Japanese antique shops.
Upon hearing the news, these guys' hearts suddenly jumped up, worried and curious at the same time!
What makes them curious is what Xiao Ran's strength is. Is it as exaggerated as the legend, or is it just in name?
In an antique store.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others who had just entered the store, the owner and clerk of this antique store couldn't help but froze, with astonishment on their faces.
They never expected that Xiao Ran, who shocked the whole of Tokyo last night, would actually come from his antique shop.
Before these little Japanese could react, Xiao Ran had already said hello with a smile.
"Good morning, gentlemen, let's take a look at these things in the store"
Following his words, several little Japanese just woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the antique shop owner, who was over fifty years old, came up with several clerks.
When they came closer, these little Japanese bowed at ninety degrees.
"Good morning, Mr. Sean, I am Miura Mitsunan, the owner of this antique shop."
“Welcome to my antique store, it is our pleasure and we will be happy to serve you!”
The owner of the antique shop said in broken English, but fortunately he could still understand it.
The other three clerks all bowed respectfully and said good morning and so on.
Xiao Ran looked at the other party, then nodded with a smile and said:
"It seems you know me, yes, I am Sean"
"Boss Miura, nice to meet you. Your antique shop looks very nice."
While introducing himself, he and the antique shop owner bumped elbows and got to know each other.
"Of course we know you, Mr. Shawn"
"You are the top appraisal expert and collector in the industry. It is our honor to know you."
Miura Guangnan said politely.
While chatting, Xiao Ran also quickly took a look at the antique store.
As he expected, it was a hodgepodge of antique shops.
The most popular items in the store are various Japanese antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there are also many Chinese antiques and artworks.
In addition, there are some Western oil paintings and sculptures.
As for the authenticity and value of these things, it all depends on personal vision!
There are many goods in this store and they are packed to the brim.
At this time, except Xiao Ran and the others, there were no other customers, which was a bit deserted!
This is the current situation of the Japanese antique market. It is deserted and deserted, with not many customers. Only less than 70% of the antique shops are still open for business.
The rest of the antique shops have either gone bankrupt or closed down!
Even if the antique shops are open for business, most of them are just struggling to support themselves and their business is bleak!
The reason is that due to the current special circumstances, foreign tourists have been completely cut off.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran quickly grasped the situation in this antique store, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Then, he smiled and said:
"Boss Miura, just go about your business."
"I'll take a look in the store and if necessary, I'll take the initiative to say hello to you!"
Hearing this, Miura Konan couldn't help but froze for a moment, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.
How sharp Xiao Ran's vision was, and how steady and ruthless his shots were!
As an industry insider, especially an antique shop owner, he had heard of it a long time ago.
Xiao Ran's previous experience of ransacking countless antique stores across the United States and discovering treasures everywhere has already become a legend in the industry, and it is said to be so miraculous!
Because of this, Miura Guangnan's eyes were full of worry.
He didn't want to be another unlucky guy who was robbed by Xiao Ran, nor did he want to be the protagonist of a tragedy, nor did he want to be the object of ridicule by his peers.
But he couldn't change anything, so he could only smack his teeth and nod in agreement.
"Okay, Mr. Shawn, you are free to check out anything in the store."
"If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help."
After saying that, the guy bowed and stepped aside.
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, then walked towards the Japanese museum shelf closest to the door.
The next moment, his eyes focused on a colorful dragon-patterned Cong-style bottle, and he pretended to examine it carefully.
