In an antique store.
Miura Mitsunami, who had just fainted on the ground, had woken up and was lying on the sofa in the reception area recovering his consciousness.
At this time, he was as depressed as if he were mourning his heir. He didn't even have the strength to stand up. He looked very pitiful.
After some appraisal, Curator Qian Gu and others stared at the "Pictures of Fishing and Woodcutter Questions" in Xiao Ran's hands with bright eyes, and everyone's eyes were full of greed.
Xu Lin and Wang Jue, who were standing next to Xiao Ran, looked at him with admiration, their eyes filled with stars.
The value of a damaged ancient painting purchased for US$5,000 soared thousands of times in an instant, which was a huge shock to them.
What shocked them even more was Xiao Ran's magical ability.
To them, this is like a myth.
Seeing that Xiao Ran was about to put away "Pictures of Fishing and Woodcutter Questions", the director of Nezu Art Museum suddenly said with expectation:
"Mr. Sean, I don't know what you plan to do with Xia Gui's "Fishermen and Woodcutter Questions". Are you going to collect it yourself, or are you planning to sell it?"
"If you plan to sell it, our art museum is interested in acquiring this top-notch work of art. We can sit down and discuss the specific transaction conditions."
Not only him, several other Japanese have also made acquisition requests.
These Japanese people had no doubts about Xiao Ran's appraisal conclusion.
This is one of the four masters of the Southern Song Dynasty. Xia Gui's painting is also Qianlong's favorite thing. How could they be willing to miss it!
Xiao Ran looked at these guys, then smiled and shook his head.
"I'm very sorry, gentlemen, I plan to collect this "Fishermen and Woodcutter Questions" myself and will display it in my private museum in the future!"
"This painting still needs some research and restoration, and it needs to be reframed, etc. It cannot be sold at this time."
"If you like this painting, you can go to Beijing and visit my private museum in the future. I am very welcome!"
Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment immediately flashed across the faces of several Japanese people.
But this was what they expected, so they weren't too disappointed.
"In this case, we can only go to China to appreciate this painting in the future."
"It's such a pity that such a top-notch piece of art is placed here, but we never discovered it. We were blind and ignorant!"
Curator Qian Gu said with emotion.
As he said that, he turned to look at Miura Konan, who was lying on the sofa with a pale face.
The other Japanese people also looked at the unfortunate guy with contempt in their eyes.
They didn't have the slightest sympathy in their hearts. They all blamed Miura Miura for missing such a top-notch work of art and depriving Japan of a treasure.
This is the Japanese, extremely indifferent at heart!
While he was talking, Xiao Ran had already put away the "Pictures of Questioning the Fishermen and Woodcutter", put it into an exquisite brocade box, and handed it to Xu Lin beside him.
"Xu Lin, take this "Fishermen and Woodcutter Questions" and put it in the small safe in the car later."
"Okay, Brother Xiao Ran"
Xu Lin responded quickly and immediately reached out to take the brocade box.
The next moment, the girl held the brocade box in her arms and refused to let go without saying a word.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
"Don't be so nervous, Xu Lin, just carry the brocade box."
Xu Lin shook her head and said excitedly:
"Are you not nervous? This baby is worth ten million US dollars. What an astonishing amount of wealth that is!"
"More importantly, this is a national treasure-level antique artwork that has a history of eight or nine hundred years."
"I have lived so long, and I have never come into contact with such a precious treasure!"
Not only her, but Wang Jue also nodded in agreement.
"Then it's up to you, but you have to be mentally prepared. Next we will find many national treasures."
Xiao Ran nodded proudly and said.
After saying that, he turned to look at the Japanese at the scene.
"Gentlemen, I plan to continue to visit the goods displayed in this antique store, so I won't chat with you."
"If you have anything to do, you can go and do your own business. You don't have to stay with me here."
"If you don't have anything to do, you can go shopping with me at the many antique shops nearby. I can just ask you for advice."
Curator Qian Gu and others were stunned for a moment, and then they all nodded and said:
"We don't have anything to do today, so let's follow Mr. Sean to visit the nearby antique store, and see your magic by the way!"
"Besides, we also have some things to talk to you about. We can discuss it while visiting the antique store."
"You should admire these things in the store first. Don't worry about us. We will also take a look at the goods here and hope to find something!"
"This is a good arrangement. I'm happy to go shopping in an antique store with you."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
Then, he turned to look at the goods displayed on the museum shelves.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving immediately, Miura Konan, who was originally lying on the sofa, immediately struggled to sit up.
This guy stared at Xiao Ran with blood-red eyes, not even daring to blink his eyelids, his spirit and expression were highly tense!
He was afraid that he would be robbed again and make another big mistake by Xiao Ran, and then he would not have to live anymore!
In the blink of an eye, nearly fifteen minutes had passed.
During this period, Xiao Ran picked out a few more antique works of art and prepared to put them into his pocket.
These antique artworks all come from China. Although their value is not high and their age is not very old, they all have certain characteristics and have certain collection value.
The reason why Xiao Ran selected them was that some of them were going to be collected, and some were going to be auctioned in the live broadcast room, which was also a benefit to fans.
Because he had a special mission today, he did not conduct a live broadcast for fear of leaking secrets or exposing some flaws.
However, tens of thousands of fans in the live broadcast room knew that he was going to visit the Tokyo antique art market today.
No one is willing to miss such a good opportunity.
They all sent out requests in the WeChat group, asking Xiao Ran to find more treasures and then auction them in the live broadcast room.
For Xiao Ran, this was just a side job, and he could make a small fortune, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
While he was selecting these antiques and artworks, Curator Qiantani, Miura Mitsunami and others were watching his every move.
They paid special attention to the antique artworks he picked out and appraised them from a distance.
No need to ask about the identification results!
These Chinese antique works of art are all genuine and have their own characteristics, but their value is not very high.
Although the several treasures displayed in the store were of good quality and valuable, Xiao Ran just looked at them and didn't even bother to ask about the price!
This made all the Japanese at the scene confused and a little confused.
It took them a while to figure out the joints.
They understood that Xiao Ran must have recognized those so-called store treasures and knew their value.
But he knew in his heart that there was nothing left to pick up. The owner of the antique shop knew the value of those treasures and relied on them to attract customers!
Because of this, he didn't even ask about the prices of those treasures, he just glanced at them.
He may not be interested in the other little leaks hidden in this antique shop, and he is too lazy to spend energy on those things!
After thinking about this, all the Japanese people present felt frightened, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
At this moment, Xiao Ran picked up another piece of porcelain and admired it.
The director of the Nezu Museum of Art, standing a little further away, suddenly whispered to a few people around him:
"Everyone, I believe everyone can see that Sean's strength is simply terrifying and unbelievable!"
"I have a very bad feeling that the Tokyo antique art market is probably going through a catastrophe and will be robbed crazily by this guy Sean!"
Hearing this, several other Japanese people nodded, and everyone's expression was extremely solemn.
The next moment, Director Qian Gu suddenly said:
"I'm afraid that not only Tokyo, but also Osaka, and even the entire Japanese antique art market will experience a catastrophe!"
"Sean, this guy suddenly came to Japan. His destination may not only be Tokyo, but also Osaka and other cities."
"With his ruthless and ruthless behavior, good things will be swept away wherever he goes!"
"Then what should we do? Are we just watching this guy crazily looting the Japanese antique art market? We have to do something, right?"
The director of the Tokyo Museum of Art continued.
As soon as the words fell, these Japanese fell silent.
They also wanted to do something to prevent the tragedy from happening and to stop Xiao Ran from madly looting the Japanese antique art market.
But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't think of any tricks they should use to stop this.
At this moment, Wang Jue, who was standing next to Xiao Ran, suddenly pointed at a blue and white plum vase on the museum shelf and said:
"Brother Xiao Ran, do you think this blue and white porcelain is a treasure from China?"
"The pattern painted on it seems to be from the novel "The West Chamber"
Xiao Ran turned to look at Wang Jue and said jokingly:
"I didn't expect you to know "The West Chamber", I'm surprised!"
"The pattern painted on this blue and white plum vase is indeed "The Romance of the West Chamber""
"But don't you think this painting style is a little weird? This blue and white plum vase is indeed antique porcelain, but it is not the exported Chinese blue and white porcelain."
"This is Japanese Imari porcelain. It is an imitation of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain. The purpose is to seize the overseas market of Ming Dynasty porcelain and confuse Westerners. In the end, the tiger is not like a dog!"
"Imari ware was produced in the Edo period of Japan. The Imari ware blue and white porcelain of the Edo period still has a certain collection value."
"This blue and white plum vase was fired in the late 19th century. Although it is also Imari blue and white porcelain, its value is average!"
"The shop owner placed this piece of Imari-yaki blue and white porcelain together with Chinese porcelain, probably to confuse buyers and try to sell it as Chinese blue and white porcelain."
"The price of Chinese blue and white porcelain cannot be compared to Imari blue and white porcelain, let alone modern Imari blue and white porcelain."
"Another point is that Imari-fired blue and white porcelain generally likes to use Ming Dynasty models, such as the Jiajing Year System of the Ming Dynasty, the Wanli Year System of the Ming Dynasty, etc."
"You can take a look at the background of this blue and white porcelain. Maybe it is. If you encounter this kind of blue and white porcelain in the future, you must keep your eyes open and don't be fooled."
Following his explanation, Xu Lin and Wang Jue were completely dumbfounded.
The next moment, Wang Jue suddenly stepped forward, carefully picked up the blue and white plum vase, and looked at the bottom of the porcelain.
Just as Xiao Ran expected, the bottom of this Japanese blue and white porcelain was written clearly.
Ming Dynasty Wanli year system, six-character regular script inscription!
The moment they saw the bottom line, the two beauties immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! The bottom of this blue and white plum vase is indeed engraved with the inscription of the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Brother Xiao Ran, you are so awesome, you have such fiery eyes and golden eyes!"
