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

This is not 2020, and netizens don’t take 100 million seriously.

One million in this era is equivalent to over [-] million.

He really spent a lot of money, and Ma Zhen's wealth was beyond his imagination.

After visiting the hall, Ma Zhen took Lin Ran to the reception room.

"You sit here for a while, I'll bring someone over."

"Who?"

"You'll know it when you meet." Ma Zhen gave it a try.

Lin Ran was sitting in the living room. After a while, a little girl in formal clothes handed him a glass. She was obviously a staff member.

"Thank you." Lin Ran nodded.

As a result, after the little girl left, the door of the reception room was opened again.

This time it was Meifang who came in.

Didn't she go outside to sing?

Lin Ran thought about it, but then turned around and realized that a song only lasts five or six minutes at most. They had been wandering around there for about ten minutes. It was normal for them to come and rest after singing.

Meifang saw Lin Ran sitting inside, and she came to a closer position.

He asked straight to the point: "Is this Master Lin? Are you familiar with Ma Zhen?"

Lin Ran really didn't know how to describe the relationship between them. Let's just say they were familiar. They were quite familiar. They met often during this period and everyone helped each other.

However, Lin Ran knew very little about Ma Zhen's background. He only knew that his code name was Qinglong.

As for what kind of business he does and what his previous name was, I have no idea.

But there was no point in talking to Meifang about this kind of thing. Lin Ran nodded: "It's okay."

"Oh." Meifang didn't seem to be very good at communicating with others. After asking the question, the two of them fell into silence.

Lin Ran asked at this time: "Sister Meifang, how does it feel to be a big star?"

Meifang smiled: "What a big star, he's just a singer."

"Don't say that, countless people envy you."

Meifang actually showed a wry smile.

"Actually, it's not that glamorous, and I'm not a big star. If I don't put on makeup, no one will recognize me when I walk on the street."

Lin Ran thought that was not the case. There was no trend of rice circles yet, and he would not be mobbed when walking on the street.

But looking at her, she didn't seem happy.

Lin Ran felt that this kind of matter was her privacy, so she didn't intend to interfere and just drank tea by herself.

Meifang seemed to want to ask about Ma Zhen, but she didn't know how to ask.

There was an eerie silence in the conference room.

Just when Meifang mustered up the courage to ask about the situation, the door of the living room was opened.

It was Ma Zhen, and there were two people following him.

It seems that they are all in their forties, but they are not Boss Xu, but judging from their clothes, they should be boss-level.

Lin Ran put down the cup and stood up.

Ma Zhen introduced each other to both parties.

As expected, these two people were his partners, one was named Wang Kai and the other was named Liu Jinhai.

But judging from the looks of the two of them, Ma Zhen can be called submissive.

It is obvious that Ma Zhen is the major shareholder of this company and has the greatest power.

The eyes of the other two people have always been on Meifang. It is really a rare thing to see the star of Hong Kong City in the company.

It wasn't until Ma Zhen introduced Lin Ran that they came to their senses.

"Boss Ma, is this Mr. Lin you are talking about?"

The two of them seemed to have a lot of status outside, and they spoke with no regard for Lin Ran's feelings.

In their eyes, this is a young man in his early 20s.

They would never believe it if he said how knowledgeable he was in antiques.

If Ma Zhen hadn't invited him, they would definitely look down on Lin Ran.

But Ma Zhen introduced him as Mr. Lin, and they suppressed the rest of their words without smiling.

Lin Ran just smiled politely at them, but he didn't understand what Ma Zhen was thinking even more.

I don't want to do business with them, so what does it mean to introduce the boss to him?

A few people sat in the living room and started chatting, mainly about the auction house's plans.

Lin Ran heard their discussion and found it quite interesting. Many of their views were advanced. Ma Zhen was indeed a visionary businessman.

But then again, what do they mean by inviting themselves to sit here and listen? Aren't they afraid that they will plagiarize it in their own auction house?

Meifang also looked like she didn't understand. He was invited here today to be a guest, which is what is usually called acupuncture.

Sing one or two songs and say one or two auspicious words, and you can get money.

This is the fastest way for celebrities to make extra money.

However, most celebrities will not do this because they have signed a contract with the brokerage company. If they do it privately, they may anger the brokerage company, which may confiscate all the money, or directly freeze the star in the worst case.

This is also normal. If you don’t have the strength, it is impossible to open a brokerage company.

If they can make a person famous, they can naturally bring him down from the altar.

That's why there are so many celebrities suffering from depression caused by their agencies.

At this time, Ma Zhen said: "The time should be coming soon, should we prepare for the opening ceremony?"

"I've calculated that it's until ten-fifteen, and there are still 10 minutes left."

"Why did you choose this time?" Meifang asked.

She was already ready to sing, but she was stopped by someone at the door, saying that the time wasn't up yet.

"This is called the auspicious hour of the zodiac." Liu Jinhai said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Meifang, you will have to perform later."

Ma Zhen didn't say anything, he just looked at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran didn't understand why he was asked to come. At this time, Ma Zhen said: "Brother Lin, since everything is fine now, why don't we go to the exhibition hall first?"

Regarding business matters, Lin Ran didn't care much about how they were doing.

But when he heard that he could see the exhibits, he became interested.

"really?"

"Of course." Ma Zhen responded, "Liu Jinhai, since you value time so much, I'll leave the business of opening the business to you."

Without waiting for their answer, Ma Zhen turned his head and looked at Lin Ran.

"Let's go to the antique exhibition hall and take a look."

Meifang actually wanted to go, but it was too late.

Liu Jinhai and Meifang stayed to prepare for the opening ceremony. Lin Ran, Ma Zhen and another small boss came to the exhibition hall together.

This is not a museum, it is just an exhibition hall of an auction company, so there are not many exhibits.

However, the area here is not small and is divided into three exhibition halls.

The total adds up to at least [-] square meters.

There are a large number of glass cabinets designed in the exhibition hall, which contain cultural relics.

Of course, they are not national cultural relics, and you still have to abide by the law when doing business there.

Some of the products here will be used in the auction one month later.

The other part is naturally Ma Zhen's private collection.

It's just used to prop up the scene, it's almost like a treasure in an antique shop.

Lin Ran glanced at the antiques inside. They were basically all porcelain.

After all, porcelain is inseparable from China, and it has the largest number of collectors.

The others are gold, stone, jewelry, calligraphy and painting, etc.

As for bronzes, they are now banned from being circulated on the market, so the auction houses don't go out of their way to do so.

The categories are quite complete. Compared with my own auction house, the items are not particularly valuable, they are only half a pound.
