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

The auction venue is located in the exhibition hall of the Capital Hotel.

The Song family seems to attach great importance to this auction, and all the people invited are respectable people in the industry in the capital and the province.

In addition to Zheng Xueming and Jiang Hua, there are also some people who are not all people in the antique circle, but just collectors.

Of course, Lin Ran also noticed and came with the purpose of making friends.

Lin Ran and Yang Jianlong arrived at the venue together. The exhibition hall on the 17th floor was crowded with people, and many people just shook hands and greeted each other.

This auction is a bit special. The goods to be auctioned are placed in display cabinets.

It is a relatively new way to participate in the exhibition. Businessmen coming and going are pointing and discussing the exhibits in the glass display cabinets.

"Mr. Lin, what do you want to drink?" A staff member in a tuxedo came up to him, holding a tray with red wine and fruit drinks in his hand.

Lin Ran smiled and said, "Are you holding an auction or a cocktail party?"

"Haha, Mr. Lin misunderstood us. Even if it's an auction, I still want to have some tricks. After all, the people here are all upper class people. How can it be the same as an ordinary auction?" Song He's hearty laughter came from behind. came.

He actually knew Yang Jianlong and touched his shoulder with his hand: "Boss Yang, long time no see."

Yang Jianlong smiled and said: "Ah, Mr. Song, you have played tricks on the auction!"

"No, but it's a market economy now. As long as customers can have fun, that's fine." Song He said proudly.

"Okay, you two can take a look at the exhibits now. The auction will begin in a moment. I hope you can buy suitable cultural relics."

After saying hello, Song He turned and left.

Not far away, Zheng Xueming and Jiang Hua were discussing something in front of a glass showcase.

Lin Ran and the two went up to say hello, and saw a clean-faced man in a suit and leather shoes beside them.

He looked about 25 years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and looked very gentle.

"Brother Lin, Jianlong, you are here at the right time. Let me introduce you to Yi Tianyuan. This is Chen Qi, the son of Chairman Chen Tianyuan." Zheng Xueming introduced the identity of the young man to the two.

Chen Tianyuan is the chairman of Gangcheng Tianyuan Industrial Group and the top figure in the three major families.

He actually participated in this auction. It seems that Song He is indeed quite capable.

There are also many high-ranking officials from public institutions in this auction.

In Chen Qi's eyes, Lin Ran was just an ordinary store manager, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Moreover, due to his special status, he obviously behaved as if he was afraid.

"Are you the boss of Shengshi Craftsmanship?" Chen Qi asked disdainfully.

The four people present could hear his contempt, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Lin Ran smiled: "Exactly. Nice to meet you. My name is Lin Ran."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Chen Qi just touched his hands lightly and quickly pulled away: "I have long heard that the mainland is rich in counterfeit goods, and they can actually do business. It is unimaginable in our port city."

"What did you say?" Yang Jianlong could bear it just now, but when he heard these words, he suddenly became furious.

Chen Qi smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, I was too direct, but it was just for the sake of Boss Zheng and Boss Jiang. Otherwise, I would have no interest in talking to you."

His attitude froze the smiles of Zheng Xueming and Jiang Hua, who had been so harmonious just now.

However, this time Chen Qi came with a big order and they had to entertain the guests.

Zheng Xueming called Yang Jianlong to his side and said, "You and Brother Lin should go somewhere else and don't take his words to heart."

"Dad, do you see what he said? Colonization has also created a sense of superiority."

"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Zheng Xueming criticized him severely, even if he was a teacher educating primary school students.

In fact, he felt unhappy, but now was not the time to act on impulse.

Fortunately, Lin Ran had dealt with countless people, and people like Chen Qi didn't take his ridicule to heart at all.

He just smiled and said: "You have misunderstandings about our products, but it doesn't matter. The days are long and you will understand one day."

Seeing that Lin Ran knew the rules, Zheng Xueming and Jiang Hua finally felt at ease.

Lin Ran also knew that their decision naturally had its own reasons.

"Brother Zheng, Master Jiang, Jianlong and I are also going to see the exhibits. If anything happens later, just come to us directly." Lin Ran pulled Yang Jianlong out of the current exhibition area.

Yang Jianlong was still mumbling: "Damn, that kid, if dad hadn't been here today, I would have cut him."

"Brother Zheng's job is to entertain Chen Qi. In that case, let's not cause trouble." Lin Ran analyzed it for him.

He also wanted to see the exhibits before the auction started.

The two stopped discussing Chen Qi and started walking around the exhibition hall casually.

In fact, Lin Ran was still thinking about it and did not place a bet.

The son of a Hong Kong financial tycoon must also hold a senior executive position in the company, but he didn't expect his professional quality to be so low.

The movie "Young and Dangerous" honestly didn't deceive me.

After all, the port city's economy has developed very well during this period. In their view, even the capital city is now just an inconspicuous third-tier small city.

But their sense of superiority would soon be shattered. With a long-term perspective, Lin Ran no longer felt angry.

He turned his attention back to the exhibition hall. In the glass display cabinets on both sides, there were antiques to be auctioned.

There are all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade, and mahogany furniture.

But I didn’t see any of the enamel colors in the flyer. Is it just a cover and not intended to be auctioned?

In this era, there was no particularly powerful auction company in China, and antique auctions were just emerging.

In addition to senior collectors, there are also some businessmen with unique vision who have seen the market. However, when buying antiques, they still prefer to find trustworthy antique shops or conduct private transactions.

Although most of the cultural relics at the auction are genuine, it is inevitable that some people will use fakes to defraud them.

Lin Ran knew this very well, because they had sold fakes to foreigners at auctions.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to the auction house in the Flower and Bird Market.

Lin Ran thought to himself that it looked like he was ready to catch another wave of fish.

Lin Ran stood in front of the showcase, ostensibly looking at the exhibits. In fact, he was thinking in his mind that he could also consider setting up an auction company.

Just like Song He boasted just now, the auction house is indeed the best place to get in touch with the upper class.

"Boss Lin."

At this time, a man's voice came from behind.

When he turned around, he saw that it was Zhang Zhenqiang, Wei Chengbin and Li Yuanhao.

Wei Chengbin was obviously very uncomfortable wearing a suit for the first time. He kept fiddling with his tie and felt it was too tight.

He complained: "It's not like we've never been to an auction before, why do we make it so formal?"

They used Zhang Fengyu's name to enter the auction, and it was Lin Ran who asked for it.
