Twenty minutes later, Xiao Ran and the others just left Araki's antique shop.
When they came out of the antique store, they had a few more pieces of antique art in their hands.
There are oil paintings, a small bronze sculpture, and two miscellaneous items.
In addition to the most valuable expressionist oil painting, Xiao Ran also purchased several other antique works of art.
Without exception, these antique works of art were all items that he had inquired about the price before but had not purchased.
At the end of the visit, he picked out all these antique works of art, packed them up and bought them.
The value of these antique works of art is not high, but they all have certain characteristics and artistic value, and are still worth collecting.
Xiao Ran plans to collect several of these treasures for himself or use them as the company's reserves.
He plans to auction the remaining treasures in the live broadcast room as a benefit to the fans in the live broadcast room.
When a group of them came out of the antique store, they saw it at a glance.
The street in front of the antique shop has been blocked by people who came after hearing the news.
Standing at the door of the antique store and looking around, all the darkness is filled with human heads and pairs of hot eyes.
There were many more Tokyo police officers maintaining order at the scene than before. They were all on high alert, watching the surrounding crowds vigilantly.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a little stunned
But in the blink of an eye, it became clear.
The news that Xiao Ran discovered Francis Bacon's expressionist painting in this antique shop has spread quickly throughout Ginza.
People on the streets of Ginza may not know who Francis Bacon is or understand Expressionist art.
However, everyone knows that two hundred million US dollars is a huge fortune!
Because of this, people came in droves and blocked the place.
Seeing Xiao Ran and the others coming out, especially the painting bags and boxes in their hands, the scene was filled with excitement.
"Look, the black painting bag in that guy Sean's hand should contain the oil painting worth 200 million US dollars!"
"Wow! A painting worth 200 million US dollars, I can't believe it! I've been to this antique shop many times before, why didn't I find this oil painting? Oh my God, it's not fair!"
"Who says it's not the case! This guy Sean is really amazing. It is said that in just half a day, he has acquired many top-notch antiques and artworks of astonishing value!"
Just as people were talking about it, many media reporters standing in the first row behind the cordon began to ask questions loudly at the top of their lungs.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from the "Yomiuri Shimbun" and I am very happy to interview you."
"Everyone in Ginza now knows that you found a painting by the great art master Francis Bacon in this antique shop. It was a portrait he created of his best friend Freud."
"Excuse me, can you display this painting publicly? Everyone wants to appreciate it!"
A beautiful reporter asked loudly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Immediately afterwards, a male reporter asked loudly in awkward English:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sean, I am a reporter from NHK TV station. It is my honor to interview you."
"This masterpiece by the art master Francis Bacon was discovered in Tokyo. Will you leave it in Tokyo? I hope you can leave this oil painting in Tokyo."
"There are many top museums in Tokyo and many powerful collectors. I believe they all want to acquire this painting."
After hearing these questions, Xiao Ran stopped immediately.
He quickly glanced at everyone present, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, fellow reporters, I'm Sean, I'm glad to see you all here, and thank you for your attention."
"Yes, in Boss Araki's antique shop, I did find a painting by the British art master Francis Bacon. It is an expressionist work."
"After my appraisal, I found Francis Bacon's signature on this oil painting, as well as some other evidence, thus confirming that this painting is undoubtedly authentic."
"Based on the particularity of this painting and market conditions, I gave this oil painting a valuation of more than 200 million US dollars, which is correct."
"As for how to deal with this painting, I discussed it with Director Zenitani of the Tokyo National Museum and others and reached a preliminary agreement."
"I will probably trade this oil painting to the Tokyo National Museum in the future. In that case, everyone can appreciate this oil painting at the Tokyo National Museum!"
"As for the on-site display, the conditions on site are not met. This is also due to safety considerations."
While saying these words, he turned to Qian Guzhenmei and other little Japan and nodded and said hello.
He did this deliberately, intending to use Tokyo citizens and the media to put pressure on the Tokyo National Museum to facilitate this heavyweight art transaction as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would not bother to pay attention to the media reporters at the scene.
The result of this operation was as he wished.
Hearing that he intended to trade this top-notch oil painting to the Tokyo National Museum, all the Japanese and media reporters at the scene were suddenly filled with surprise.
Immediately afterwards, many media reporters rushed to ask questions to Mami Zenitani.
Zenitani Mami could only stand up and answer the question, confirming the matter.
However, he did not reveal any more inside information, such as the conditions Xiao Ran offered.
Just as he was answering the question, Xiao Ran and the others had put the antique artwork in their hands into a bulletproof SUV.
Compared with the United States, Japan's security is much better, and there are not so many gun-wielding desperadoes.
The character and style of Japanese people, including gangsters, are not as tough as Americans, and there are relatively few people who want money at the expense of their lives!
Because of this, Xiao Ran dared to temporarily put many antique artworks in the car instead of sending them to the bank vault immediately!
If this were in the United States, he would never dare to do this.
That is equivalent to telling all armed robbers to come and rob!
Just grabbing a top-quality antique piece of art can completely change your life!
Even though this was a relatively safe Tokyo, Japan, Xiao Ran was still a little more careful.
After putting away these treasures, he whispered a few words to Anthony, asking them to be more vigilant.
Not only that, the two helicopters parked on the roof of the hotel must be ready to take off at any time to cover and respond.
Seeing him put those priceless top-notch antiques and artworks into the car, the eyes of some guys with ulterior motives in the crowd instantly turned red, full of greed.
After a while, after Qiangu Zami finished answering the question, Xiao Ran and the others left here and continued to move forward.
The motorcade parked on the side of the road started immediately and followed slowly.
At the same time, a large number of Tokyo police officers followed, as well as many people and media reporters who were watching the excitement.
For a moment, the crowds on this street were like a tide, all surging in one direction. The scene was spectacular!
At the same time, everything that happened here has quickly spread to the ears of many people, and has also attracted more attention.
The eyes of some of these guys turned blood red in the blink of an eye!
In a Japanese-style building near Kyobashi.
A gang boss just hung up the phone and said with red eyes:
"That lucky bastard Sean just publicly admitted that the Western oil painting he discovered before is indeed worth over 200 million US dollars."
"About this, Director Zenitani of the National Museum has confirmed it, and the Tokyo National Museum plans to trade that painting with that bastard Sean."
"Including this oil painting, the total value of the antique artworks that bastard Sean found and took away today has exceeded 350 million US dollars, which is amazing!"
"These antiques and artworks of astonishing value were placed on several of the cars they were riding in. Although the security was tight, it was not impeccable."
"Three hundred and fifty million US dollars! It can drive people crazy! Morita, do we want to do something? Go all out and get something big!"
"If we can grab these treasures, we can retire directly and take care of ourselves. We don't need to take our men to the streets to fight!"
Upon hearing this, the gangster named Morita immediately flashed a look of emotion in his eyes, but more importantly, he was greedy!
Who wouldn’t be crazy about top-notch antique art worth $350 million?
However, when I think about the other party's ruthless and vengeful behavior, as well as his unrivaled strength.
He muttered again and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
While he was having an ideological struggle, one of his gang leaders suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
The guy was holding an iPad in his hand, his eyes glued to the screen.
After entering the door, the gang leader immediately said excitedly:
"The two bosses, that bastard Sean and his men, have arrived at the entrance of Yamamoto Antiques Store and are about to go in."
"Through several surveillance cameras installed inside and outside Yamamoto's antique store, we can see every move of those guys in real time and hear the conversations between them."
As he spoke, the gang leader placed the iPad on the coffee table.
The two gangsters looked at each other and then looked at the iPad screen.
The next moment, they saw Xiao Ran and others standing in front of Yamamoto's antique store.
The moment they saw Xiao Ran, the two gangsters paused.
Immediately afterwards, Morita suddenly said with emotion:
"This bastard is so young, but who would have thought that he is actually a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, and he is extremely lucky and famous for being ruthless!"
"When I was his age, I was still a boy with nothing. I fought with others on the streets every day to grab territory. I didn't know if I would survive until tomorrow."
"It's so irritating to compare people to each other! This proverb is absolutely true. This kid is the lucky one blessed by God, but we are destined to suffer. It's really unfair!"
Listening to these sentiments, the other gangster nodded in sympathy.
After chatting for a while, Morita got down to business.
"Has the Yamamoto antique shop been decorated? I really want to see if this bastard Sean is as magical as the legend says."
"What I want to know more is the real purpose of this bastard coming to Japan. The timing of his appearance is just too coincidental."
After the words fell, the gang leader immediately nodded and responded:
"Don't worry, boss, Yamamoto Antique Shop is ready, I believe you will find something!"
"Okay, let's see this bastard Sean's performance!"
Morita nodded, his eyes always staring at Xiao Ran on the monitoring screen.
In front of Yamamoto antique store.
Xiao Ran and the others looked at the door of Yamamoto Antique Shop and were about to go in.
At this moment, the antique shop owner, who was about fifty years old, came out quickly with two clerks.
The moment he saw these guys, a playful smile flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes.
