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

The auction has entered its mid-term.

At this time, two staff members carried the large piece onto the stage.

This piece was exactly the screen that Lin Ran had been watching.

The auctioneer introduced: "This is a huanghuali framed color-core screen from the Qianlong period. The pattern on this screen is the phoenix representing the royal family, with two phoenixes facing the sky... Of course, our company is pragmatic. I won't hide it from you. , although this cultural relic is a royal item, it has been among the people for a long time, and the level of folk preservation is very low. Therefore, there are some flaws on the screen, and the middle part has been repaired, so..."

He suddenly remembered something and said to the audience: "Interested treasure appraisers can come up to the stage to have a look, but please be careful not to leave your fingerprints on the screen."

This auction item was pushed up, and the audience remained calm.

Screens from the Qing Dynasty, even if they were royal items, received a mediocre response.

However, Lin Ran's expression became serious.

Ke Liang, who was aside, was still immersed in the pain of losing the strangled enamel bronze mirror.

Lin Ran pushed him and said, "Our target is here."

"What?" Ke Liang woke up from his dream and found that it was the screen that Lin Ran had been observing.

Suddenly he felt very disappointed and said: "Brother Lin, is this screen what you like? Didn't you say you wanted to give it to your friend?"

Ke Liang couldn't help but recall what Xu Tianhua told him. This huanghuali screen was clearly an imitation.

From the fact that there were only five people queuing up to see it on stage, it can be seen that this screen was not popular at the auction.

The screen was not a valuable item in the first place, but it was repaired, and no one was interested in it.

Lin Ran smiled slightly and said, "Believe me."

When Ke Yu heard this, she thought of what Jiang Li told her.

These two people have exactly the same tone of voice.

"Sister Jiang Li, this screen..." Ke Yu wanted to ask if he wanted to buy it.

Jiang Li glanced at Lin Ran and said, "Don't worry yet."

She hadn't looked at the screen carefully before, but she felt that there was definitely nothing wrong with Lin Ran's eyes.

It mainly depends on his performance.

You can see from the audience that the screen is severely damaged because the screen cloth used looks like it has been patched.

The only thing that can arouse other people's interest is the huanghuali frame.

Xu Tianhua had disparaged this screen before, so he had no interest in it when he saw it.

However, Fan Jian thought of Lin Ran, so he stuck his head out and smiled at Ke Liang: "Master Ke, your target has arrived."

"None of your business." Ke Liang shot back angrily.

He couldn't keep calm now and felt that he had lost.

When the auctioneer saw that the treasure appraisers had finished looking at the screen, he knocked the hammer and said: "The huanghuali wood color screen from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the starting price is... 500 yuan."

"Wow..."

The audience was once again in an uproar, but this time it wasn't because of the high price.

But everyone thinks this product is too cheap.

Indeed, as a royal item of the Qing Dynasty court, the starting price of 500 yuan was the same price as street stall goods in their eyes.

Ke Liang lost all interest and leaned on the sofa.

Lin Ran nudged him with his elbow: "Master Ke, take it down."

"What?" Ke Liang thought Lin Ran was just joking with him, and said angrily: "Brother Lin, Fan Jian obviously doesn't know how to bid, so don't waste your time."

"I'm not kidding you, we will win if we take him down." Lin Ran whispered.

He also glanced at Jiang Li next to him.

Jiang Li looked at the screen with an indifferent expression and seemed to have no interest.

Ke Liang opened his mouth wide and said: "Brother Lin, this screen from the Qing Dynasty, not to mention it is a replica, is not worth much money even if it is a genuine one!"

"Just capture him." Lin Ran said to Ke Liang again.

Ke Liang hesitated for a moment and finally made a decision.

"Okay, I believe you again." His expression became serious, "If you lose, don't blame me for being rude. It's not good for anyone."

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Ke Liang was polite to him before because he thought Lin Ran could help him win.

So at the auction, Lin Ran did whatever he said.

But now, Ke Liang felt that victory was very slim, and his attitude became naturally unfriendly.

Although he is half a layman, he also knows the price of screens.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

Now there is no other way but to believe in Lin Ran.

Bidding begins.

At first, there were a few idle and bored businessmen who raised the price to [-].

Ke Liang held up the sign and directly offered a price of one thousand.

It immediately caused a burst of laughter in the venue.

Fan Jian laughed so hard that he never expected that Ke Liang would actually participate in the auction of this cultural relic.

Fan Jian held up the sign and said: "One thousand and ten yuan."

Ke Liang immediately glared at him, this was a completely humiliating increase.

Fan Jian did not shy away and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ke, I think it's too lonely for you to bid alone. As long as you increase the price, I will never follow you."

"Master..." Xu Tianhua said, "What if they just tricked you into bidding?"

Xu Tianhua finally realized that Ke Liang had definitely raised the price intentionally when he bid with him.

It's a pity that I didn't see through it in advance, and now I can't let them succeed again.

Ke Liang felt shameless and prepared to increase the amount to one thousand and two.

Lin Ran held him back: "Don't be as knowledgeable as him."

"You..." Ke Liang scolded in a low voice. What a rich second generation like him fears most is that others will look down on him.

"One thousand and one." Ke Liang said that he would not pay ten yuan or ten more like Fan Jian, which was embarrassing.

Fan Jian did as he said and did not continue bidding.

He looked at the screen and asked, "Xu Tianhua, are you sure this is a fake?"

"It's not a fake, it's a folk imitation. The age is correct." Xu Tianhua quickly explained.

"Okay, as long as you know it's worthless." Fan Jian felt relieved.

He looked at Ke Liang doubtfully and thought: "What does he want to buy the screen for? He doesn't want to win my bronze mirror, does he? Or does he plan to take it back and refurbish it?"

The more I think about it, the funnier it becomes, but it’s a pity that the auction venue still has to give some face.

If it were a bar, he would definitely have bought the emcee and publicly executed Ke Liang.

This idiot will never win against our Fan family.

"One thousand and two times, one thousand and two times..."

"One thousand and two, deal!"

No one else was willing to follow the price, and Ke Liang had already taken the price of [-] yuan.

"Congratulations to Mr. Ke Liang for winning the huanghuali wood painted screen."

There was a roar of applause in the venue, and it seemed that they were not enjoying themselves enough.

Ke Liang was a big shot who participated in the auction of the century. In the end, he only won one thousand and two toys. Everyone felt a little disappointed.
