Chapter 150
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour has passed.
Xiao Ran has not finished the tour, still staying in this huge exhibition hall, visiting the lots displayed on the display shelves one by one.
During this time, he discovered a lot of good things.
He quietly remembered these treasures one by one, ready to take them at auction at night.
Many fans in the live broadcast room also gained a lot.
Many people have found their favorite items, and then let Xiao Ran identify them on the spot, or find someone to identify them with high-definition pictures.
After determining the authenticity and value of those items, everyone made requests to let Xiao Ran take those treasures at the auction at night.
In addition, several fans who helped inquire about the news also inquired a lot about the situation of the Pamia oil and gas field.
This includes information such as the reserves and distribution of the newly discovered giant oil and gas field the year before.
After getting the news, Xiao Ran asked these fans to send relevant information to themselves in private messages, and they would carefully check it later in order to make a decision.
In addition to these fans, Jin Lao and another appraisal expert also sent a private message to each other.
They only mentioned it in the live broadcast room, but did not say the content of the private message, only said that he must remember to check it when he comes back.
Although Xiao Ran was very curious, he did not rush to check it, and the timing was not right.
During the tour, he also met many professional treasure hunters, collectors, and auction houses from other places.
Especially the auction houses and collectors were very enthusiastic.
Those guys all took the initiative to get to know him and wanted to establish a stable business relationship with him.
In the future, if he has new discoveries, antique cultural relics and works of art that have been transferred or auctioned, he can contact them as soon as possible.
For these guys, Xiao Ran was also very polite and got to know these guys.
Multiple friends, multiple paths!
He doesn't shy away from establishing business contacts with these professionals, which only benefits and no harms.
As he spoke, he came to a display stand in the center of the exhibition hall.
Unlike other display shelves seen before, this one displays seven or eight oil paintings of different sizes.
In front of the display stand is a glass display case with a thick stack of sketch manuscripts, numbering in the hundreds.
When they approached, Xiao Ran stopped and began to admire the few paintings hanging and the sketch manuscripts in the display case.
These paintings and sketches are basically surrealist works.
The pictures presented are very weird and grotesque, and I don't know what to do.
Such as a puppy flying in the air, a folded and twisted chair, a building or a car, etc.
Looking at these paintings, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be a little dazed and confused.
Although he could not understand these surrealist paintings for a while, it did not prevent him from determining the value of these paintings.
One of the surrealist paintings, as well as several works mixed in with the pile of sketch manuscripts, radiate a beautiful and mesmerizing light.
This scene can only be seen by him, and no one else can see it.
It was this mesmerizing light that allowed him to determine the great value of that painting and several sketch manuscripts.
Fans in the live broadcast room who also watched these paintings were full of question marks.
"I'll go! What the hell is this, don't say it's art!
"The puppy in the painting is actually flying with wings, but it shows a human smile, it's too weird!"
Genzi Senge exclaimed.
Immediately afterwards, Higashi Yukihiko continued:
"Look at the tree that grows from the side of the building, there is a dead man hanging on it, it is creepy to watch!"
"These foreigners' brain circuits are really so strange, they can actually draw such weird things!"
Hearing these comments, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
Immediately afterwards, he whispered:
"These paintings are surrealist works, grotesque and weird feelings, which is exactly the goal pursued by the painter
" "The so-called surrealism is to combine the concept of reality with instinct, subconscious and dream experience to achieve absolute and surreal situations
" "How to understand surrealism, in layman's terms, this thing is the embodiment of dreams"
The words did not fall, There was a response in the live broadcast room.
"So it's true, I've dreamed that my own dog is flying in the air, can it be that buddies can also become surrealist painters?"
"And the scary dream of jumping off a cliff in your sleep, but always falling at speed, is it also surreal?"
Xiao Ran nodded lightly and said
, "If you can fully express dreams in the form of paintings, you can also be called surrealist painters!" At
this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"Sean, what do you think of these surrealist paintings?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately turned his head to look.
The person who asked aloud was a so-called appraisal expert from Christie's.
When visiting other lots before, this guy took the initiative to get acquainted and introduce himself.
Seeing that it was this, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and nodded.
"I don't know much about surrealist art, and my appreciation ability is limited
" "But I can see that this painter still has some ideas, and the painting technique is not bad
" "From these paintings, as well as these sketch manuscripts, you can see that they seem to come from the same place
" "I don't understand a little, how can such a few surrealist paintings and a large number of painting manuscripts appear here?"
The expert nodded slightly, and then explained:
"Robert, the painter who created these oil paintings, was also famous in the eighties of the last century, and is said to know the surrealist master Dali
" "It's a pity that this guy is a bad gambler, originally lived in Los Angeles, and later moved to Las Vegas for the convenience of gambling
" "In a gamble last year, Robert lost all his belongings, and the few remaining paintings were staked to the Venetians, I have a lot of gambling debts
" "Less than a week after the end of that gamble, Robert was shot by someone for nowhere, and the violent corpse on the street is estimated to be the creditor!"
"These paintings and manuscripts were not ransomed and ended up here!"
Speaking of this, the expert couldn't help but shake his head.
"Gambling kills!"
Xiao Ran sighed.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly changed his tone.
"But Robert's work is okay, if the price is reasonable, I would consider taking these paintings
" "In Los Angeles, there is still some market for surrealist art,"
the expert nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, if Robert is not obsessed with gambling, the artistic achievements will not stop there!"
After a few more words, Xiao Ran left here and walked towards a display shelf next to him.
The expert did not leave, but carefully studied the surrealist paintings.
Unfortunately, he didn't make any new discoveries.
During the period, several professional treasure hunters who were closely watching Xiao Ran came up to inquire about the news, and they also did not gain much.
The news they inquired from the casino service staff was no different from what Xiao Ran had just heard.
This completely dispelled them and stopped paying attention to the surrealist paintings and the manuscripts.
But where do they know what treasure they missed.
Next, Xiao Ran and David continued to visit various lots.
Among the lots are luxury cars and yachts, as well as mansions located all over the United States, with California being the most occupied.
Some of these luxury cars and mansions are of very good quality and the low prices are very attractive.
However, these things are not what Xiao Ran wants.
In a normal year, he might have photographed a few well-located mansions as fixed asset investments.
The current special situation directly dispelled this idea.
No one knows how long this particular situation will last, whether it will get worse, or even trigger an economic crisis.
In the face of this uncertainty, the best response is to cash is king and reduce all kinds of investments as much as possible.
Seeing such a cheap luxury car mansion, those guys in the live broadcast room were hungry, and they were clamoring to take down several sets of mansions.
But they can only shout a few times in the air, and they can't put it into action at all.
The reality of the suspension of flights between the two countries is enough to dispel all unrealistic illusions.
After nearly an hour, Xiao Ran came to the display case where the title deed was displayed.
Around this showcase, there are always people around.
One by one, these guys stared at the real estate transaction contract and land title certificate in the display case.
Many of these guys have red eyes and flashing madness.
Xiao Ran had just arrived here, and before he could gain a foothold, several big men suddenly walked towards them.
Seeing this scene, Antony, who was a little further away in the rear, immediately leaned over.
