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

"This auction is hosted by people from major auction houses across the country."

"It's filled with exquisite products selected by some auction houses."

"Let me tell you, the highlight of this auction is actually a piece of jade seal!"

"Jade seal?" Yang Jianlong's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this.

The jade seal represents the emperor's exclusive gift. It can be said that there is no man who can't finish this job who doesn't want to get the jade seal. After all, everyone has the world in mind.

"What jade seal?" Lin Ran asked.

When he heard the word Yuxi spoken by Ke Hui, Qin Dong's words could not help but come to mind.

Qin Dong wanted to get a piece of jade seal from him at that time and was willing to pay a high price for it.

It seems that Qin Dong already knows the inside information in advance.

However, Lin Ran's expression suddenly changed when he thought of what Ke Hui told him.

Ke Hui, as the organizer, only learned about the contents of the exhibits today.

Qin Dong was just an outsider, but he actually knew the inside information in advance.

No matter how I thought about this matter, I felt it was abnormal, so I couldn't help but frown and think about it.

Seeing the horrified look on Lin Ran's face, Ke Hui asked curiously: "What's wrong? Brother Lin, what are you worried about?"

"Is this auction organized temporarily?" Lin Ran asked.

"Of course not, it's just a secret plan." Ke Hui said, "By the way, if we have anything that we think is valuable, we can also take it to the auction and sell it on consignment."

“Moreover, there is no handling fee for this auction.”

"And it supports barter. As long as both parties feel the price is right, they can directly exchange antiques."

This is the biggest difference between auctions at high-end antique fairs and ordinary auctions.

The participants of the conference are either large antique dealers or well-known collectors. Most of them are not short of money. They come to the high-end antiques fair just for the collectibles.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Ran felt strange.

Jade seals, no matter which dynasty the monarch belongs to, are extremely precious cultural relics, and they are often made of the most precious jade stones in the contemporary era.

How could a cultural relic of this level be auctioned?

Therefore, Lin Ran guessed that this auction might be more than just an auction.

"Brother Ke, besides jade seals, what else are there at this auction?" Lin Ran asked.

"I don't know the rest." Ke Hui shook his head.

"Master Ke, are you kidding? Didn't you just say that there are many treasures?" Yang Jianlong said.

He didn't want to be rude to Ke Hui, but what Ke Hui said was really strange.

He was the one who told Lin Ran and Yang Jianlong just now that there were many valuable things at the conference.

Moreover, as the largest antique family in the capital and one of the organizers, even he didn't know about it, which was a bit unreasonable.

Hearing this, Ke Hui just smiled bitterly and said.

"You don't know something. Although our Ke family is the organizer of this auction."

"But there's a rule."

"That is, we can only participate in the auction hosting activities, but cannot participate in the auction activities."

"So, Brother Lin, I can't go to the auction with you, you can only go in by yourself."

Ke Hui looked a little frustrated.

With his family's financial resources, it would be easy to win a few cultural relics at auction.

It is estimated that this rule was issued to prevent large families from participating in the auction because they were worried about being monopolized.

However, this approach can only achieve superficial fairness.

Which big family would come out to buy these things in person instead of going to an agent.

"Brother Lin, this auction is based on if there is something valuable, please remember to buy it."

"As for money, it's not a problem." Ke Hui said meaningfully.

He also knew through the relationship with the appraisal master that there were indeed many high-quality cultural relics in this auction, but only one jade seal was revealed, and he did not know the others.

However, some masters said that in fact, not all antiques are particularly valuable, at least there is no profit to be made if they are auctioned.

It all depends on Lin Ran's ability.

"That's no problem." Lin Ran nodded. As long as he could miss one or two items, he would make a lot of money.

It can be seen from the outside that the standards of this auction are really high.

Because there were already many well-dressed people waiting at the door, and the identities of these people were not simple at first glance.

Yang Jianlong is already considered a small boss in the capital, but he also seems a bit unfamiliar in front of these people, like a fledgling boy.

At this moment, an old man in Tang suit came over and greeted Ke Hui.

Ke Hui shouted with a smile on his face: "Uncle Qu!"

"Master Ke, you're so polite!" The old man in Tang suit nodded slightly, seeming to be very satisfied with Ke Hui's politeness.

Coming to Ke Hui, he looked at Yang Jianlong and Lin Ran and asked, "Are you two friends of Master Ke?"

"Yes, hello Mr. Qu." Lin Ran smiled and cupped his hand.

Yang Jianlong was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Lin Ran pushed him that he realized what he was doing and saluted.

"We have other things to be busy with. You two go shopping first. The auction will start soon." The old man in Tang suit said to Ke Hui.

Ke Hui nodded and said, "You can play by yourself, we'll see you later."

Then he walked into the auction venue with the old man in Tang suit.

Only then did Yang Jianlong whisper: "Godfather, this man is Qu Hang's uncle."

"Qu Hang's uncle?" Lin Ran was a little surprised. He had actually had similar thoughts just now when he heard that the old man in Tang suit was named Qu.

I don’t know why, but the people in this circle seem to be from the same family. People with the same surname who operate in a family often come from the same family.

Originally he thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that it is really inseparable from Qu Hang.

Qu Hang's uncle is actually one of the organizers of the conference?

This matter is a bit subtle.

Qu Hang just caused trouble at the conference. Unless he is really a stupid relative, and he wants to cause trouble at a trade fair hosted by his relatives, does he really think that he is invincible because he has a backer?

However, Lin Ran felt that Qu Hang was not that simple.

Because when Yang Jianlong provoked him, he actually chose to endure it at the end.

This is a very scary psychological quality that can provoke others to the last step before giving in.

Combined with his previous actions, Lin Ran had an idea in his mind, feeling that Qu Hang seemed to be deliberately testing Yang Jianlong. The real purpose was not to anger Yang Jianlong, but to have another agenda.

I hope I am overthinking it, Lin Ran said in his heart.
