This live auction was a great success, with all lots sold without a single first-rate bid.
Moreover, the transaction prices of all the lots were very good, much higher than the reserve price.
As the auction ended, this live auction immediately caused a huge sensation in domestic antique shops.
Many people in the antique shop were shocked and amazed by Xiao Ran's generosity.
At the same time, many of them also regret not being qualified to participate in this game.
Just after the live auction ended, some fans who had successfully photographed the treasure showed off in the group.
Someone has approached them and is ready to buy the treasure they took at a high price.
Some guys who couldn't resist the temptation had already resold the treasures they took before they got them.
But that's fine, they save money, and they can make a lot of money once they sell it.
And the money is very easy to make, and the time is extremely fast, just a few hours.
Xiao Ran had no objection to this kind of thing.
As long as the fans in the live broadcast room do not rent out their accounts and let unknown people enter the live broadcast room, he will not interfere too much in other matters.
Furthermore, these fans have become nothing more than brokers.
In the antique shop, the profession of broker has always existed, and it naturally has its rationality.
Xiao Ran is also happy to see fans making money and expanding his influence, so why not!
It's just that those fans didn't know that one day in the future, he might regret today's short-sighted behavior.
The Chinese antique art collection market is in the ascendant and is on a rapid upward trajectory.
As the country becomes more powerful, its influence around the world becomes greater, and the people become richer, the prices of Chinese antiques, cultural relics and artworks that carry Chinese civilization will become higher and higher.
Many antiques, cultural relics and works of art that seem to be sky-high prices today will probably be worth nothing when looking back in the future.
This is like comparing now with the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, Chinese antiques, cultural relics and works of art were just as cheap as cabbage!
The same thing has happened in the antique market in the Western world.
Now with the rapid rise of China, it is the turn of the Chinese antique market to perform the same drama!
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second day after returning to Beijing.
As soon as he got up in the morning, David called to update him on the latest situation.
"Sean, we arrived in Los Angeles a few hours ago without any trouble."
"The treasures shipped back to Los Angeles were handed over to Miller and then stored in the bank vault rented by the company."
"Now I am in the company. After handling the handover matters, I am ready to go home. I must have a good rest for a few days when I go back."
After listening to David's announcement, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Good afternoon, David, you did a good job. Go back and have a good rest to prepare for the next exploration operation."
"Let me tell you something, I had a chat with Joshua on the phone last night. The topic was about cooperating with the Federal Reserve to jointly explore the treasure under the mountain."
"Joshua is very interested in my cooperation proposal and will try his best to push the Federal Reserve to make a decision as soon as possible and cooperate with me."
"You can take the time to make some relevant preparations during this period. When I return to Los Angeles in a while, I may have to sign a preliminary cooperation agreement with the Federal Reserve."
David was obviously a little surprised by this news.
After a moment, he responded.
"Wow! Cooperate with the Federal Reserve to explore the legendary treasure under the mountain. Such an incredible thing, I think only you can think of it."
"The Federal Reserve is indeed the most ideal partner. We can use the Fed's huge influence to obtain an exploration permit and carry out exploration operations in the Philippines."
"Haha, yes, that's what I thought."
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
Afterwards, they discussed the matter for a while before ending the call.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran called Miller again and asked about the situation.
The situation is just as David said before, everything shipped to Los Angeles this time was a lot, and everything was sent to the bank vault.
After introducing this batch of treasures, Miller introduced the company's situation.
During this period, the company was operating normally, except for the antique shop downstairs, which almost experienced another zero-dollar shopping event.
Unfortunately, the guys who tried to rob the antique store were frightened away by armed security personnel as soon as they approached the antique store.
Later, the guys tried to drive right into the antique store and loot it. .
But unfortunately, their car hit a sudden pile of ground.
The results can be imagined!
The army of zero-dollar buyers failed to loot the antique store. Instead, they crashed a car and suffered a bloody head.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed.
In addition, Matthew and the others took Xiao Ran's private plane and returned to Los Angeles last night.
After understanding the situation, Xiao Ran ended the call.
After a while, breakfast was delivered.
After breakfast, my mother took Elaine out to buy new year's goods.
Accompanying them were Fang Yufei and Aunt Lin, all of whom were in high spirits.
Xiao Ran, who is isolated at home, can only stay at home and keep company with a few kittens.
Soon, it was already around ten o'clock in the morning.
Xiao Ran was playing with some kittens in the garden and was having a great time.
In less than a day, these little guys became familiar with him, no longer played with him, and were willing to play with him.
Of course, the main credit is due to cat strips and cans.
The mother of the kittens still looked cold and indifferent to him.
Most of this female cat's energy was spent figuring out how to harm the koi in the pond.
In this period of time, God knows how many koi were harmed by it.
While talking, Xiao Ran reached out and picked up Xiao Fugui, who was lying on his instep, put the guy on his lap and started teasing him.
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Xiao Ran immediately took out his mobile phone and took a look at it.
It was a call from my sister-in-law.
The call was connected, and my sister-in-law's voice came over immediately.
"Xiaoran, what are you doing at home?"
"I have nothing to do. I'm playing in the garden with some kittens."
Xiao Ran said with a smile, and stroked the little guy lying on his lap a few times.
Following his movements, Xiao Fugui meowed several times, seemingly enjoying himself.
The next moment, my sister-in-law's voice came again.
"You're so laid-back, but my phone number is about to explode. Many people from the antique shop have called me."
"The live broadcast auction you conducted last night caused a huge sensation in the domestic antique shops and made many people jealous."
"Just now, the CEOs of Poly and Guardian, as well as several other top domestic auction houses, called or asked someone to bring messages."
"These top domestic auction houses want to establish a cooperative relationship with us and collect some high-quality lots from you for public auctions."
"The CEO of Poly Auction House said that to show sincerity, Poly is willing to hold a special spring auction for us and is willing to reduce the commission rate. What do you think?"
After hearing his sister-in-law's introduction, Xiao Ran did not respond immediately, but fell into thinking.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said:
"Obviously, last night's live broadcast auction was so exciting that all the domestic auction houses were jealous, so they came to discuss cooperation."
"These auction houses can be considered half of our peers. Since they have such sincerity, we can also cooperate with them. After all, we will have to deal with them frequently in the future."
"I will select some good-quality antiques and artworks later and send them to these auction houses. As for the special auction, we will talk about it later!"
After the words fell, my sister-in-law immediately replied:
"Okay, I will notify people from several auction houses later and tell them what you mean."
"After you select the antique artworks for auction, send me the photos, and I will coordinate with several auction houses on the auction."
"After the Spring Festival, the new year's spring photography season begins. It's best for us to choose this time to shoot for the best results."
Next, Xiao Ran and his sister-in-law discussed for a while before ending the conversation.
Afterwards, Xiao Ran played with a few kittens for a while, and then took the little guys back to the third yard.
Not long after returning to the room, several other friends called me one after another.
Without exception, everyone came here for the live auction last night.
Some collectors and antique shops in the antique shop wanted to collect some treasures from Xiao Ran and collect them for themselves.
Moreover, these collectors and antique shops are very generous, claiming that as long as the items are good and sophisticated enough, they are willing to pay high prices for them.
Nowadays, everyone knows about the domestic antiques industry.
As long as the antiques, cultural relics and works of art leaked out of Xiao Ran's hands, none of them were fake.
This is definitely the only one in the domestic antique market where fakes are rampant!
Because of this, everyone is willing to buy antiques from him, even if it costs a little more!
Xiao Ran did not agree to these acquisition requests, but he did not refuse either. He only said that he would consider it.
In addition to wanting to buy antiques from him, there are also many collectors and antique dealers who want to join his live broadcast room.
In this way, if there is such a sensational live broadcast auction in the future, they will not have to just watch and be greedy, but they can also participate in it.
Upon hearing this request, Xiao Ran thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
He agreed to allow these collectors and antique dealers to join the live broadcast room, but only those with a transaction threshold of 5 million.
And every new member who joins must be reviewed and abide by the rules of the collector's live broadcast room.
Those conducting the review were ostensibly only employees of the Beijing branch.
And secretly, relevant departments will also get involved.
Naturally, the collectors and antique dealers who were looking forward to joining the live broadcast room would not refuse his requests, and all of them were quite cooperative.
With their joining, the number of fans in the collector's live broadcast room has increased a lot, and it has become more lively.
When the time came to nine o'clock in the evening, Joshua finally called.
As soon as the call was connected, the guy immediately got to the point.
"Sean, I have brought you good news. After some discussions, the Federal Reserve has decided to cooperate with you to explore the legendary treasure under the mountain."
"Now that we have decided to cooperate with you, you don't have to worry about the Philippines. As long as we put pressure, they will not dare not agree."
There is no doubt that this is the answer Xiao Ran wants to hear most.
"Great, Joshua, that's great news!"
As he said this, he was already beaming with joy.
