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

Suddenly, Yang Guozhi was dumbfounded.

He stared at Lin Ran blankly, wondering if his cousin was cheating on him.

But if you take a closer look, his level is indeed much higher than that of ordinary treasure appraisers, and he even knows the location of the ancient tombs and the cultural relics in them.

Suddenly, he felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, he didn't get angry at first and just drove Lin Ran away.

If they drive away such a heavyweight, it will be difficult for their jewelry store in the future.

However, Lin Ran did not show any signs of anxiety.

There are more important things to deal with now.

"Mr. Yang, let him go." Lin Ran said.

If he disagreed with Lin Ran's opinion at this time, he would be stupid.

As the saying goes, it's not difficult to offend your colleagues, but if you offend the people above you, you'll just have to suffer the consequences.

To rectify the situation from above, often only a paper notice is needed, and no one even needs to be sent out.

As the top jewelry store in the area, he certainly knows about the existence of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, which is a level higher than the Ministry of Cultural Relics, museums, and archaeological teams.

If you offend him, you will no longer be able to run your jewelry store.

"Okay." Yang Guozhi changed his previous attitude and became extremely respectful.

Originally, Liu Mao was still winking at each other with his accomplices. They planned to find a way to leave Yang Guozhi's shop and escape unscathed.

They didn't want to fall out with Yang Guozhi because of the jade matter. Who knew how much power he had behind Qi Province.

Even if he managed to save the Dan Shi Jade, he might not be in danger of his life immediately afterwards.

Unexpectedly, before they could speak, Yang Guozhi said in a cold tone: "It's okay to leave, but don't come back to hinder my eyes."

This sentence was said to Liu Mao, but other people also saw that it was not just Liu Mao, but also their group of followers.

Liu Mao was extremely excited to be able to keep this piece of jade.

He expressed his thanks and then left with the people.

In an instant, only the three of them were left in the huge office.

It was not convenient for Yang Guozhi to ask in front of Liu Mao before. Now that there are no outsiders, he asked: "Mr. Lin, what is going on?"

Although he let Liu Mao go, he still felt a little unwilling to accept it. He wanted to know what Lin Ran was thinking?

If you say you don’t know the origin of this thing and just let it go, then you will treat it as if you don’t have this fate.

However, they had made an agreement before, and Liu Mao reneged on it midway. With his wealth, it was definitely not difficult to forcefully complete the deal, and Liu Mao didn't even have a chance to speak out.

If Lin Ran hadn't spoken to him, Liu Mao and his followers would have been held accountable here.

At this time, the office was quiet for a while, and they were all waiting for Lin Ran to continue.

Lin Ran smiled: "Since you want to know the reason, I will tell you."

"The earliest record of this red persimmon jade comes from a site in the Yin Ruins of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, a man named Long excavated this piece of jade at a site. He collected this piece of jade and was later chosen by the King of Chu. Bought it at a high price.”

"It was not until later, when Chu was destroyed by Qin, that it was passed down to future generations."

"Later, this piece of jade was carved by Qin craftsmen and stored in the King of Qin's treasury. Later, after several twists and turns, it ended up in the hands of the King of Xinjiang."

Yang Guozhi frowned slightly and asked, "What does this mean?"

He doesn't understand what this history has to do with his inability to buy jade?

Lin Ran smiled and said: "This means that the historical value of this jade is very high."

Although the earliest records are from the Qin Dynasty, it can be seen that the age of red persimmon jade, even before the Qin Dynasty, is very precious and has extremely high historical value.

In addition, this piece of jade was once collected by three historical celebrities: King Chu, King Qin, and King Xinjiang, so it is of inestimable value.

If calculated based on market price, this piece of jade could be sold for at least millions.

Yang Guozhi glanced sideways at Lin Ran, took a breath of air, and felt even more unhappy.

"Since the value is so high, why do you stop me from taking it down? Don't you want me to make money?"

Lin Ran smiled: "Mr. Yang, don't you understand? To ordinary collectors, this jade is just a relatively valuable jade. But to the country, it is an important historical research evidence."

"Do you think the state, knowing it exists, would allow it to be owned by a private collector?"

Hearing this, Yang Guozhi suddenly felt his heart shake.

Reminiscent of Lin Ran's identity, it's no wonder he would give this advice.

Indeed, as he said, even if you buy such a gem of extraordinary value, it is different from ordinary cultural relics and can circulate freely in the market.

This is something related to the fate of the three royal families.

At this moment, his impression of Lin Ran instantly improved a lot.

Lin Ran is young, and not only has his own knowledge of jewelry, but his understanding of history is far beyond their imagination.

And he can also consider the problem from the perspective of his country. If he has such a valuable gem, people from the museum will definitely come to ask for donations. In the end, they will be given a certificate or a handling fee of several hundred yuan at most, and educate them first. The price I paid for it is not worth mentioning.

Yang Guozhi understood what Lin Ran meant and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lin, for your correction."

"Well, it's okay." Lin Ran smiled and said, "I will inform the people from the Ministry of Culture and Culture and ask them to track the whereabouts of this jade. As long as Mr. Yang does business in a down-to-earth manner, he will definitely make a lot of money without taking risks like them. "

Now that the Cultural Relics Protection Law has been enacted, their behavior of selling cultural relics will be severely punished by the law.

Lin Ran was also protecting the store.

Yang Jianlong laughed when he saw Yang Guozhi's obedient look.

"Thank you so much for what happened today." Yang Guozhi said, taking out two fifty-fifty bills from the drawer and handing them to Lin Ran. This was the appraisal market price of this era. He asked a local master to appraise it. , that’s the price.

Yang Jianlong thought Lin Ran would refuse, but he accepted it readily and said thank you.

This left Yang Jianlong a little confused.

But Yang Guozhi finally understood that this was a very smart move by Lin Ran, which was to maintain a business relationship with him and not owe each other any favors.

At the same time, it also means that he does not intend to have a deep relationship with himself.

It saves Yang Guozhi the trouble. He also hates being polite to others.

Just as he was about to take them out of the office, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Lin Ran.

"Mr. Lin, actually I still have a treasure in my hand, but I haven't been able to find anyone to help identify it. I wonder if you can help me take a look?"
