Deep inside the antique shop.
Davis slowly opened the vault door and led everyone inside.
It is said that this is a small vault, but it is actually a specially reinforced room.
The door of the room was replaced with a heavy anti-theft iron door, there were no windows, and the floor and walls, as well as the ceiling, were specially reinforced.
In the center of the vault is a six-and-a-half-person tall vintage safe, and against the wall stands several museum shelves with some so-called antique artifacts and works of art, and there are not many things left.
There are also several paintings hanging on the walls, and some places where paintings used to hang are now empty, leaving only some imprints of the frame.
Obviously, the three auction houses that came to pick the lots before picked some good things from here and took them to auction.
What remains here are the things they pick and think are of little value.
But, where do those guys know.
They have no eyes on it, missing out on what is probably the most valuable treasure in this antique shop.
As soon as he walked into this small vault, Xiao Ran felt it.
The temperature and humidity in the vault are very good and it feels comfortable.
He chuckled and said with a little surprise:
"Davis, did you arrange a constant temperature and humidity system here?" The environment here is great,"
Davis's eyes immediately flashed with surprise.
He originally thought that Xiao Ran was just a lucky guy who luckily picked up so many big leaks, created those miracles, and became rich overnight.
As a result, Xiao Ran instantly discovered the constant temperature and humidity system here, which made him a little impressed.
Under the prestige, it is actually difficult to match.
Davis understands that this young Chinese boy next to him still has some strength, and he is not simply rich by luck as the outside legend said.
Thinking of this, the contempt in his eyes suddenly dissipated a lot.
At the same time, he also knew that it seemed impossible to take advantage of the sky-high prices of these things in the store.
"That's right, Sean, there is indeed a constant temperature and humidity system here, in order to protect the antique artifacts and works of art stored
here" "If you take a plate here, you don't have to bother with a similar system, and this vault is very strong, you don't need to transform it"
Davis nodded and explained.
"It can be seen that the conditions here are indeed very good, worthy of being the top antique shops in Los Angeles,"
Xiao Ran said with a smile and a nod, complimenting a few words.
Afterwards, Davis took Xiao Ran to visit the vault and the various things stored in the vault.
David and the opposing lawyer stood inside the doorway, accompanying the tour, but did not come up to disturb.
Davis took Xiao Ran to a shelf, pointed to a jade pot spring bottle on the shelf and said:
"Sean, this is an antique porcelain from your country, more than three hundred years old
" "Its shape is very beautiful, the glaze is lustrous, the fetus is delicate, it is a valuable antique porcelain"
While he introduced, Xiao Ran stepped forward and looked at this jade pot spring bottle.
When Davis finished his introduction, he immediately smiled and nodded.
"This is indeed a very beautiful piece of porcelain, the full name should be called Lang Kiln Red Jade Pot Spring Bottle
" "Since it is a valuable antique porcelain, why don't you entrust it to the auction house?" It should be able to shoot for a good price!
Davis's expression immediately froze, somewhat embarrassed.
What happened to this jade pot spring bottle on the shelf, he knew very well in his heart, and he also knew its price.
This is just a Lang kiln red jade pot spring bottle from the late Qing and early Min, and it is a people's kiln, which is not worth much at all.
What is imitated is the famous Yongzhenglang kiln red, and the bottom model is also the Great Qing Yongzheng year, which looks quite bluffing.
It was precisely because this jade pot spring bottle was not worth much money that the three auction houses did not ask for it, but left it here.
The value of this jade pot spring bottle, Xiao Ran could see at a glance, but it was not broken.
In an instant, Davis's expression had returned to normal.
After all, it is an old fox who has been mixed in the antique shop for decades, and it is only a basic quality to do it yourself.
"It's the guys in the auction house who don't recognize the goods and miss such a good treasure
" "Not to mention this Chinese porcelain, let's look at other antique relics and artworks, there are still many good things here"
said, he pointed to a small antique table clock on the shelf and began to introduce.
This table clock is also considered an antique, but it is an imitation of the United States produced in the forties of the last century.
It is a classic table clock from London, England in the late 19th century.
Since it is an imitation, and the output is not small, and the age is not far away, it naturally has little value.
Like the jade pot spring bottle, this small desk clock was also abandoned by several auction houses.
In Davis's mouth, the table clock was praised and said to be a valuable and rather rare antique clock.
Xiao Ran smiled, just listened and watched the other party perform.
But he didn't say anything and didn't expose Davis, which would be a bit of a slap in the face.
His performance made Daviston feel like a dog biting a hedgehog and had nowhere to lower his mouth, and he was also very helpless.
Soon, the two of them came to an oil painting and stood still to admire it.
It is an abstract expressionist painting with a strong visual impact.
At first glance, it looks like countless lines and colors are intertwined, entangled into a colorful mess, and I don't know what to do.
But if you look closely, you can see some restless emotions, and there is also a bit of beauty.
"Sean, this abstract expressionist painting was purchased at a high price when I traveled to New York five years ago, and it is said to be the
work of Pollock's students" "On these flexible lines, you can also see a little Pollock's shadow, which is a very good abstract expressionist work
" "It's a pity that the guy didn't sign this painting, and he drowned in the East River drunk" "
The provenance of this painting becomes a question, Those fools in the auction house don't recognize the goods, and the valuation given is very low, so I left this painting behind"
Listening to this introduction, Xiao Ran's eyes quickly flashed with joy, fleeting.
In his eyes, this incomprehensible abstract expressionist painting is by no means as simple as Davis said.
It is also not a painting by Pollock's students, but the work of another master of abstract expressionism.
The reason why he is so sure is simple.
This abstract expressionist painting actually has a signature on it, but it is hidden in a very special way, which is extremely difficult to find.
The professionals at the auction house gave a low valuation because they did not find this hidden signature.
This is also normal, and I don't blame them.
If abstract expressionist paintings are not signed, as long as the standard is good, it is difficult for the average person to identify which artist's work.
Because almost all abstract expressionist paintings look like a mess, it is difficult to tell whose work it is from the picture alone.
Such a problem does not exist for Xiao Ran.
In his eyes, the light radiated by this painting is enough to explain its value.
And under the perspective, he has long discovered the hidden painter's signature.
Listening to Davis' introduction, he couldn't help but flash a smile in his eyes.
When the introduction was over, he immediately nodded.
"Since it is the work of Pollock, a master of abstract expressionism, it must be worth a lot and is a rare work of art,"
he said.
"Davis, can you open these safes and show me what's inside?"
"To be so closely guarded, there must be some high-value antique artifacts and works of art, and I would love to admire them,"
Daviston said, jumping a little fast.
Just talking about that abstract expressionist painting, why did it suddenly jump on a few safes?
Or is the painting not worth mentioning at all?
While secretly complaining in his heart, Davis also shook his head.
"I'm very sorry, Sean, I won't take out the things stored in
these safes until a preliminary transfer agreement is reached" "This is for security reasons
, I hope you can understand" Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Of course I can understand
, this is understandable" "But I want to ask, when you transfer this property and the antique shop, do you include the contents of these safes?" And this vault and everything in
the store" "If it is included, before negotiating, I need a detailed list, so that it is easy to value
" Davis looked at Xiao Ran, thought for a while, and then nodded and replied:
"As long as it is in this store, it can be transferred, all included in the subject of the transaction, I will provide a detailed list"
This is what I wanted, Xiao Ran secretly squeezed his fist excitedly.
