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

The paintings are so lifelike that you can tell they were created by everyone at first glance.

The dancing woman's temperament is fully displayed, and her facial expressions are also very expressive.

Being able to add blue and white to create special ink paintings is an extraordinary skill.

At first glance, Lin Ran felt that the production level of this plum vase was too high. Even if it was not a Ming plum vase, the price would not be much lower.

If a painter of this caliber can be invited to paint on the bottle, it is either a collection made by the master himself, or it is something ordered by a dignitary.

It is definitely not a product that can be made by ordinary folk kilns.

Lin Ran didn't know how the bald man got the boss to take out this valuable plum vase. If he saw it, he would also want to buy it.

There is no doubt that this is the highlight of their antique shop!

It's normal not to take it out.

It would be very unsafe to store such a precious item directly in the store.

No one knows when they will be targeted by thieves. We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid that thieves will miss us.

The boss will hide it for the safety of the store.

After hearing the boss's introduction, the bald man became even more excited. He rubbed his hands and said, "Boss, you are really careful and you have preserved it so well."

The boss smiled and waved his hand: "After all, it is the treasure of the store. Of course, there will be dedicated people to take care of it."

Ke Yu nodded, she was quite satisfied with the plum bottle.

At this time, she noticed Lin Ran next to her, staring intently at the plum vase, thoughtfully.

The bald man suddenly laughed and asked: "Boss, I am also a cheerful person. How much do you plan to sell this Mingmei vase?"

Lin Ran, who was observing the plum bottle, almost laughed out loud when he heard these words.

He glanced at the bald man and thought to himself that he was really a nouveau riche.

When conducting transactions in antique shops, few people will directly ask about the price.

What kind of place is an antique shop after all?

In a sense, this is a luxury store.

The items here are just like jewelry, there is no market guide price, it is entirely up to the store.

Just come up and quote the price, and the store will definitely quote a higher price.

Only laymen would directly ask the price. Isn’t this just waiting to be ripped off?

Just before the boss spoke, the bald man said something viciously again.

"Don't think we are easy to bully. If you dare to quote randomly, don't blame me for being rude!"

He assumed a threatening posture again.

Lin Ran was even more certain that he was an outsider.

He probably didn't even know the market value of Mingmei Vase in the industry, so he simply stood nearby and listened, wanting to see what price the boss would offer.

The boss actually laughed.

"Mr. Liu, since you were introduced by an acquaintance, I will definitely not quote the price randomly. So, I will give you the lowest price. I will definitely be honest."

After speaking, he glanced at the bald man.

The bald man said carelessly: "Okay, but we will go back to find an expert to see the goods. If you lie to us, don't blame me for being rude."

This threat is useful in other places.

But in the antiques industry, it just doesn’t make any sense.

Even if they go back to find other masters for appraisal, according to the cutting rules of the antique circle, he has already bought it back. The master can only give his reference price and will never say that this is the market price and you are buying it too expensive. .

Because the rule in this industry is to clear both money and goods, and then leave after buying.

No one in the industry would break the rules, and naturally it would be impossible to expose the fact that the boss sold them at a high price.

Of course, the boss didn't have a quote yet, so Lin Ran stopped nearby with a smile, wanting to see what price the boss would offer.

After some pretentious thinking, the boss took out the abacus, struck it on it, and then handed it to the bald man.

The bald man pushed the abacus back directly: "Don't bully me for not being able to understand the abacus. Just tell me the number."

The boss laughed after hearing this, and the waiter next to him couldn't help but laugh as well.

Just before the bald man was about to get angry, the boss held out three fingers and said: "3000 yuan."

Lin Ran obviously felt that the price was too high, but unexpectedly the bald man agreed readily.

"Three thousand yuan is not expensive for me."

Just when he was about to pay for it, Ke Yu stopped him.

"Liu Su, don't be in a hurry to buy it."

The bald man's hand stopped in the air and he looked at Ke Yu blankly: "Miss, isn't this what we came here for?"

"Do not worry."

Then they began to whisper.

The bald man said in a deep voice: "Miss Jiang's introduction shouldn't be wrong, right?"

"You don't understand. This is the easiest line of work to get familiar with."

"Then what should we do?"

Lin Ran heard their whispers and suddenly realized that he had guessed wrong about the relationship between the two people.

The girl seems to be the boss, and the bald head is just a follower.

However, this girl looks young, but has richer social experience, which is completely opposite to her bald head.

It is indeed very popular in the antique industry to kill mature people.

After the money and goods are settled, who cares whether you are an acquaintance or not? The worst thing is that you will not come to the store to buy anything next time.

In fact, this industry does not value connections, but the goods.

As long as the goods are good enough, there is no need to worry about no customers coming to the door.

Lin Ran could tell that the girl in front of him should be a professional in the industry, but she had just entered the industry.

The bald man, on the other hand, is a complete layman who doesn't understand anything and likes to make noises.

It's simply a low-end version of Yang Jianlong.

"Let me think about it." Ke Yu felt a little overwhelmed.

In fact, he didn't care about the money, but she felt ashamed when she thought about being laughed at by her brother if she bought a fake.

The bald man couldn't think of a solution for a while. Could it be that he would go to another auction house and find a master to help him with his eyesight?

But that was even more inconsistent with etiquette, and was directly rejected by Ke Yu.

Just when he felt distressed, he noticed Lin Ran next to him.

Although he was not involved in the antiques industry, when he saw Lin Ran's appraisal just now, he thought to himself that this guy must be an extraordinary treasure appraiser, and he was called a little master.

It was as if he had seen a savior.

Walk to Lin Ran

Lin Ran was speechless. He hadn't offended this man, had he?

Seeing a tall, round, bald man with a big gold chain approaching him, Lin Ran couldn't help but become alert and looked at him warily.

The bald man just coughed lightly, and then asked: "Brother, do you know how to appreciate things?"

Lin Ran looked at the bald head with confusion.

The bald man thought he didn't hear clearly, so he emphasized again: "We just saw you at Panjiayuan's stall. You know how to identify treasures, right?"

Lin Ran was confused for a moment.

Were these two people watching just now?

There were too many people watching at that time, and it was impossible for him to recognize everyone.

It's just that he won't do such a thing as helping people identify it for free.
