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

Lin Ran was listening nearby. Yang Jianlong called him over. He just wanted to pay a visit to his mentor. He didn't see anyone, and the rest was to discuss business matters.

During this period, the store's business was all handled by Yang Jianlong. Even if he didn't want a cent of his share, Lin Ran wouldn't have any objection.

Listening to the discussion between the two people, they finalized the preliminary cooperation plan. They decided to discuss the specific details at another time.

Fei Huan had to leave now because of something. He originally wanted to book them the best local hotel, but knowing that his family's business was not good right now, Yang Jianlong refused to accept anything he said, so he let Fei Huan go about his own business.

After bidding farewell to Fei Huan, only Lin Ran and Yang Jianlong were left at the dinner table.

Until the end, Fei Huan didn't tell them what happened in the store.

Logically speaking, if an antique shop is not open for half a year, it will only be able to sustain business for half a year if it is open, so it is guaranteed to make a profit.

At least most of the antique shops that Lin Ran saw were sold out because they felt that the profits were not satisfactory. The other type was due to financial difficulties, such as needing a lot of money for medical treatment and having to sell off the belongings in the shop.

Of course, there was also the gambling boss I met before who lost the store.

Lin Ran felt that the person Yang Jianlong admired was not a gambler, and he could only guess why.

"Now that the matter is settled, let's go back to the capital." Lin Ran felt that the matter had been settled and there was nothing to do in Qi Province.

But unexpectedly, Yang Jianlong smiled and said, "Godfather, do you know why I called you here specifically?"

"Aren't you here to meet your mentor?"

"It's just one of the reasons." Yang Jianlong smiled mysteriously, "I'll take you to see the fun."

After that, they came to the front desk of the hotel. Yang Jianlong originally wanted to pay, but found that Fei Huan had already paid the money in advance.

They decided to invite him back when they met next time. Immediately afterwards, Yang Jianlong drove Lin Ran to an old street.

It turns out that Yang Jianlong has stayed here for a while, no wonder he looks familiar.

They drove to a parking lot and parked the car. Only then did Lin Ran pay attention to the surrounding environment. He didn't expect Qi Province to be so developed in this era. There were roads paved with bricks and stones on both sides, although they were not as good as asphalt roads. , but in this day and age, the road surface is very good.

Under the leadership of Yang Jianlong, they arrived at the entrance of a jewelry store.

Lin Ran almost laughed out loud when he saw the name of the jewelry store.

"Allen Poe."

In this era, mainland China has just integrated with foreign countries. Because they were very poor in the past, foreigners appear to be very wealthy, which naturally gives them a sense of high taste.

Many Chinese businessmen have taken a fancy to the business opportunities and named their companies and shops with foreign names to make them look more high-end.

The jewelry industry is undoubtedly the most suitable.

When they arrived at the jewelry store, a large number of people had gathered at the door.

The area near the jewelry store was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. It was obvious that there was an event going on. Small colorful flags were hung all over the street, and the salutes had already been fired. The celebration equipment was quite complete.

There was also an extra-long red carpet laid out at the door, which was spread out onto the street.

The door was crowded with people. Judging from their attire, there were not only ordinary people watching, but also jewelry merchants and probably appraisal experts.

In addition, many nearby businesses came to watch the fun, and the entrance of the store was surrounded by water.

Just as Lin Ran was about to ask why, Yang Jianlong had already squeezed a way out of the crowd and led him into the jewelry store.

"Jianlong, what are you doing?" Lin Ran was not interested in joining in the fun. If he was just looking at the jewelry, he would be even less interested.

"Daddy, this jewelry store belongs to the local jewelry tycoon Naoki Group."

"Oh? What are they doing today?"

"Exhibition!"

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Jewelry exhibitions are not very attractive to me."

Hearing this, Yang Jianlong said: "Godfather, maybe you don't know yet, right? This is not an ordinary jewelry store. It also sells ancient jewelry and is very famous in the local area."

"I often came here to play when I was young." Yang Jianlong showed a look of nostalgia on his face.

Although I don’t know what he is thinking, he seems to be very interested in this exhibition.

Lin Ran could only smile and said: "Okay, Jianlong, I'll just reminisce with you."

Yang Jianlong said anxiously: "Godfather, I'm not here just for nostalgia... No, I'm not here purely for nostalgia."

He started to look a bit clumsy again outside of business, but it was obvious that he seemed to have something to show himself, so Lin Ran stopped asking and squeezed in with him.

But as soon as he squeezed to the door, a group of guests poured out from inside the door.

"Give way, thank you." They pushed Yang Jianlong aside angrily.

Standing in the center was a bald man wearing Armani clothes, looking very ambitious.

When Lin Ran was about to say that they were rude, Yang Jianlong whispered: "This is the boss of Zhimu Group, Yang Guozhi."

Yang Guozhi, surrounded by bodyguards, looked very proud.

Especially when he was standing in the open space in front of the store, there was an empty space around him. Everyone else could only squeeze in, and he was the only one standing leisurely in the middle.

He glanced around and saw the dark crowd.

He cleared his throat, took the microphone and said loudly: "Welcome to all of you who have come from afar today. Today is a great day for the tenth anniversary of the establishment of Allen Poe Jewelry! Everyone is welcome to participate in our celebration."

When Lin Ran heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Yang Guozhi.

He is young, probably similar to Yang Jianlong, but he is already the talker of a large local group, and he seems very proud of himself.

Similarly, Lin Ran also noticed that Yang Jianlong kept smiling when he saw his expression, so he guessed in his mind whether they knew each other.

Immediately afterwards, there was a routine, introducing the background of the establishment of their jewelry store, and saying that in the future they would repay the society, assist some small merchants in developing a broader jewelry business market, and lead everyone to develop together.

His words instantly caused a commotion in the crowd.

But the reviews were mixed.

Some people clapped and applauded, these were all here to watch the fun.

But among the crowd, there was a voice that caught Lin Ran's attention.

It's an accusation.

Among the crowd, there were accusations against Yang Guozhi, believing that he was responsible for the serious setbacks in the business of many antique merchants. Now he is still talking about opening up the market and leading everyone's development.

And the voice was quite loud. Many people present accused Yang Guozhi.

In this day and age, there is not so much civility and courtesy, and almost all swear words are used. Lin Ran felt that this was a bit too much.
