Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

"Little brother, have you never read a book? Juniors should not say appreciation for their elders, but respect." Yin Fei said sternly. Although he was angry, he still had to show due courtesy in front of the juniors.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"It's so busy early in the morning, what are you talking about?"

From what he heard, it was a man about the same age as Gray. Lin Ran vaguely remembered seeing this man at Gray's house.

Judging from his appearance, he was kinder than Gray and walked over with a smile on his face.

Gray narrowed his eyes, a little displeased: "Old Tian, ​​what are you doing here?"

The man known as Lao Tian replied with a smile: "You are allowed to come to this auction? I can't come?"

Gray snorted in displeasure and said to Yin Fei: "Master Yin, let's go back to our seats."

Yin Fei wanted to continue to teach Lin Ran a lesson, and also glared at Yang Jianlong viciously. The two looked at each other for a while, and Yin Fei finally chose to remain silent and returned to his seat with Gray.

Lao Tian sat down next to Lin Ran and Yang Jianlong and said hello to Yang Jianlong.

"Jianlong, why didn't your father-in-law come?"

Yang Jianlong did not answer, but asked: "Who are you?"

Lao Tian chuckled and said, "I am a good friend of Zheng Xueming. I also opened an antique shop in Panjiayuan. The name of the shop is Jixiang Temple. My name is Tian Zhenying. Just ask your father-in-law when you go back."

Yang Jianlong nodded, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Tian."

Lin Ran also felt that Tian Zhenying was okay and had a much better attitude than Gray.

After shaking hands with Yang Jianlong, he also extended his hand to Lin Ran: "This little brother looks familiar. Have you met him somewhere?"

Lin Ran stood up, shook hands with him, and introduced himself: "I am the boss of Shengshi Craftsmanship. My name is Lin Ran. Nice to meet you."

"Lin Ran?" Tian Zhenying's eyes lit up and he asked: "Is this the leak-picking master who was famous in Panjiayuan? Haha, I've admired him for a long time, but seeing him a hundred times is better than seeing him. It turns out that heroes come from young."

It was natural for him to flatter him, then he sat down next to Lin Ran and asked, "Brother Lin, how did you find this place?"

For the sake of safety, underground auctions have certain entry thresholds.

Lin Ran was naturally embarrassed to say that they paid 10 yuan for the ticket.

He made an excuse at random, but Tian Zhenying didn't take it seriously. He leaned on the chair and said, "With Brother Lin here, I don't have to worry about the auction today. I wonder if Brother Lin can give me some advice later?"

Seeing the familiar look of this man, Lin Ran smiled and replied: "I just took a look. I used to be lucky, but I can't guarantee that I will find something good."

"It's okay. I'll just treat it as gaining some knowledge and you can help me with my advice. How about that?" Tian Zhenying said.

Lin Ran nodded: "Okay."

Tian Zhenying was actually just being polite. As an antique shop owner, although his business is not as big as Tianlexing's, he still has ten years of experience.

He had only heard about Lin Ran's deeds before and thought that people just liked to play tricks on making gods.

Treasure appraisal is a job that requires experience. For someone as young as Lin Ran, he may not have seen as many antiques as he has personally appraised.

Seeing him and Yang Jianlong together, I remembered that Shengshi Craftsmanship had made a lot of money recently, and I made my own speculation.

It is estimated that Zheng Xueming deliberately caused a conflict between him and Lin Ran in order to let his son-in-law go out to make money and increase Lin Ran's reputation.

Otherwise, there would be an uproar with Panjiayuan in Liulichang. With Yang Jianlong's temper, if he didn't kill him, he would still do business with him. It would be like treating others like children.

However, Tian Zhenying is not like Gray and thinks Lin Ran is just a liar.

Zheng Xueming was different from others in that he had high requirements for real talent and practical knowledge. Lin Ran might not be as powerful as the rumors say, but it did not affect that he was indeed a somewhat qualified connoisseur.

I didn't look down on Lin Ran from the bottom of my heart, I just had doubts about Lin Ran's ability to identify treasures, and based on the businessman's philosophy of making money by being gentle, I just treated him politely.

By this time, the venue was already full of people.

There are still some empty seats, and it looks like no one will come.

This was Lin Ran's second time participating in an underground auction. The manager of the previous secret auction house was already working for him, so he wanted to see what was going on with this auction house.

When the auction was about to begin, the staff at the venue became busy.

They placed the items to be auctioned on a long table and displayed them in a certain order.

The overall process is the same as that of the auction.

The auctioneer came in, briefly announced the start of the auction, and started the bidding process.

Most of the guests here are regulars.

The auctioneer nodded, and the staff put the first auction item on the wooden table.

It is a large blue and white plate with alternating blue and white.Five fishes play on the lotus blue and white plate.

The auctioneer introduced: "This is a large blue and white plate with five fishes and lotuses. It is well preserved and the glaze color has no obvious signs of falling off. Treasure appraisers who are interested in this item can come to the stage to have a look and appraise it at will."

There were whispers from the audience.

The underground auction house is so casual, but it can still be inspected on stage.

The guests below also did their part, and even some expressed their intention to come to the stage to watch.

Tian Zhenying, who was next to Lin Ran, was also gearing up: "Haha, this is really a good start, a top performer at the beginning."

Top quality means top quality.

If it is really a blue and white plate from the early Ming Dynasty, it is indeed a valuable item.

Tian Zhenying looked determined to win.

Lin Ran was not very interested in the blue and white plate.

"Master Lin, is it inconvenient for you to come on stage with me to check it out?"

Since Tian Zhenying invited him, Lin Ran reluctantly decided to go up and have a look.

But he warned himself that he must not use the secret technique of treasure appraisal. Not to mention that a nosebleed on the stage would not look good. If there were traitors of the Qilin Society hidden inside, he would be in trouble.

With Lin Ran's consent, Tian Zhenying led the way.

They were the second group to come on stage for appraisal. The auctioneer looked at them with a smile and got out of the way.

Tian Zhenying looked quite professional. He not only prepared a flashlight, but also took a photo of the blue and white plate.

Thumbs up and praises the appearance.

After Tian Zhenying read it, he asked Lin Ran behind him: "Master Lin, do you think this blue and white plate is authentic?"

The underground auction is not a formal auction, and the auctioneer conceals a lot of information.

For example, the auctioneer did not give a detailed explanation of the Five Fish Playing Lotus Blue and White Plate.

It is true that you can find good things in underground auction houses, and most of them are genuine.

But how much it can be sold for is mainly a matter of personal discernment.

Tian Zhenying would ask Lin Ran, which showed that he actually had no idea.

Lin Ran found out about him, he had some ability, and knew that this was Mingchu's plate.

But he is just a dabbler and has no way of identifying authenticity.

You can tell from the flashlight he brought. You need to use a strong flashlight to identify porcelain. This small flashlight is useless.
