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

"I have wanted this thing for a long time. If I can get it, I am willing to pay a high price to exchange it with you."

"What?" Lin Ran asked.

"I want to buy a piece of jade seal." He said a little embarrassedly.

The jade seal is a national cultural relic, which is not something ordinary people can have.

However, in this era, there are indeed some collectors who have jade seals. After all, since the birth of China, there have been countless emperors.

Not every emperor is worth remembering.

But Lin Ran still refused. How could he help Qin Dong get such a thing.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Brother Qin is laughing, how could something as precious as a jade seal appear at a trade fair?"

"Hey, to be honest, I also found out through internal information." Qin Dong said.

"However, since Mr. Lin has no intention, then forget it."

If it was really a jade seal, it was impossible for Lin Ran to say that he was not interested.

However, he didn't want to sell such a precious thing.

"It's okay, Mr. Lin, I'll give you the invitation letter."

"I think someone as talented as Mr. Lin should not miss the antique auction."

"At least I think you should be able to find something really valuable."

Lin Ran took the invitation and found that it was next Thursday, which was still seven days away.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, just think of it as the appraisal fee." Qin Dong said with a smile.

He sent the two people downstairs of the company and watched them drive away.

Sitting in the car, Ke Hui felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, Brother Lin is really sorry. I will definitely find an original that is more valuable than the Ta Ge Tu to give to you!" Ke Hui said.

"It doesn't matter, just give me the Ta Ge Tu. What? Are you not happy?" Lin Ran joked.

Of course he understood that Ke Hui thought the calligraphy and painting were fake and was too embarrassed to give them away.

Lin Ran didn't care. If he guessed correctly, the words in Qin Dong's hand should be from the same artist's work.

In fact, it also has a certain collection value, and it can also be used as a reference for Li Yunhao.

It would actually be better if it was a fake, so they could sell it in the store and hang it directly in the store as a sign.

Even if it is investigated, it can be said to be an imitation of the Qing Dynasty.

"I'll go with you to the trade fair next week," Ke Hui said.

"What are you doing? You want to ask me to be your consultant again." Lin Ran smiled.

"Yes and no, if you go, I'll see if there's anything worth buying? I'll buy you something as a thank you gift by the way." Ke Hui said a little embarrassed.

He actually forgot to tell Lin Ran about such an important thing.

You must know that most of what he has obtained so far was obtained with Lin Ran's help.

Now he and Lin Ran are partners.

If he could make good use of Lin Ran's appraisal knowledge, he might be able to flourish in the antiques industry.

He is rich and Lin Ran is talented. If they work together, they will surely achieve success in this industry.

However, his proposal was rejected by Lin Ran.

Lin Ran did not intend to make a lot of money from antiques. He was more focused on obtaining collectibles from them. He could keep the items of collection value for himself, and the remaining collections needed to be donated to the museum.

It must not be used to benefit himself, this is his bottom line.

"Brother Ke, I really have to ask you for something."

"You said."

"It's about the supply channels. In fact, I still prefer that the supply channels are in my own hands. After all, you may miss it. If I come to see it, I may miss it, but I can shoulder this responsibility."

After all, he was the store manager now, and Lin Ran didn't want to have the supply of goods in the hands of others.

Now Ke Hui said with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid I can't tell you the source of goods at home."

When it comes to family secrets, the relationships involved are too complicated.

However, Ke Hui suddenly remembered something.

"What do you think about me asking you if there is any source of bulk goods?" Ke Hui said.

He has tried his best.

"Okay, but this bulk supply must be in my hands." Lin Ran said.

They now have a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship. The Ke family really trusts him. They even handed over the land deed to him with his name written on it.

But Lin Ran didn't want them to have control over him one day. After all, he still had to hold the core information in his own hands.

Bulk sources are also acceptable, and you can also obtain new channels through other people.

Thinking of this incident, Lin Ran had another idea in his mind.

It took Ke Hui a week to prepare, but Lin Ran took this opportunity to come to Jiang Hua's store.

It has been about half a year since I last came here.

Liulicang, a place that once held dreams, is now completely different.

The purpose of Lin Ran's visit today was to inquire about the source of goods through Jianghua.

The previous antique shop was Ke Hui's own property, so Lin Ran didn't ask much about it.

But now that the store is run by himself, Lin Ran has made some changes.

Although the front desk staff had not seen Lin Ran for a while, Lin Ran left a deep impression on him, so he recognized Lin Ran as soon as he entered the store.

Jiang Hua was very happy about Lin Ran's arrival.

Jiang Hua was surprised to learn that Lin Ran actually opened an antique shop, but also felt that it was being cleaned up.

He joked: "Brother Lin, from now on we are competitors, will you rarely come here in the future?"

"That's not the case." Lin Ran smiled, "Discussing with Brother Jiang is a very interesting thing and has nothing to do with business."

"Haha, it's enough that Brother Lin has this intention. Jiang has not made you a friend in vain."

"This is a batch of Dahongpao I just got. Come, have a drink and take a look."

Jiang Hua enthusiastically took out a tea bowl to entertain Lin Ran.

After chatting for a while, Lin Ran said: "Brother Jiang, to be honest with you, I came to you today to learn from you."

"Learning lessons?" Jiang Hua showed a meaningful smile on his face, "Brother Lin, you are in trouble now. Jiang has nothing to teach you."

"No." Lin Ran smiled modestly, "Brother Jiang has been in this industry for a long time after all. He is my senior. Lin Ran doesn't dare to make mistakes."

"Haha, since we are brothers, don't be so polite. Tell me, what do you want to ask?" Jiang Hua was just joking with him. Of course he knew Lin Ran's ability. Even if he couldn't get an answer from him, it wouldn't take long for him to Also able to think clearly.

It's better to sell him a favor at this time.

Lin Ran not only helped him unlock the family secret, but also cured his stubborn illness. For this reason, Jiang Hua could not express his gratitude enough.

"Brother Jiang, I want to know if there is any way to purchase goods? Besides the Ke family."

Since there were no outsiders present, Lin Ran directly asked the key questions.
