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

In European countries, titles are divided into five levels: duke, marquis, uncle, son and male.

Take British jazz as an example. On the night before New Year every year, the British royal family will announce a list.

In front of the whole country, the persons who have been awarded knighthoods by the King or Queen this year will be announced.

This system actually began in the mid-14th century, but most of the subsequent title holders only had honors and did not actually enjoy fiefs and privileges.

But even so, receiving a knighthood is a supreme honor for the British people.

Just like Sir Yang Shiqi, he is not from a traditional aristocratic family.

However, by continuously donating cultural relics to British museums, he was appreciated by the Queen and became a special talent.

Lin Ran had never heard of these things. He knew about the nobility system, but Wang Dong looked like someone who had experienced the late Qing Dynasty. How could he understand it so well?

"Then we can't sell it to him." Lin Ran stopped writing.

"No way, we all work for money." Wang Dong said with a smile: "Do you think everyone in the office doesn't know? They just pretend not to know and force themselves to be numb."

It is no exaggeration to say that what they did was traitorous.

It was understandable that they had no money to do this at first, but now that their family is so rich, why do they still allow foreigners to buy cultural relics?

Lin Ran despised this kind of behavior that did not follow the rules.

"Talk less and do more." Wang Dong felt that he had talked too much and continued his cultural relic appraisal work.

But Lin Ran lost the intention to work and said, "But I don't think Boss Qian is this kind of person?"

Lin Ran spoke his mind. Although the contact time was short, he felt that Qian Xiaoyong was a well-educated and gentle businessman.

How could such a ridiculous behavior occur?

"Qian Xiaoyong is not the only heir to the Qian family. This auction house was established by his father. Now his father is lying in the hospital, and the two brothers are fighting for the ownership of the auction house." Wang Dong picked up the blue and white porcelain Ping said, "Tsk, tsk, this is a top grade item from the Forbidden Palace, how could it end up in the hands of our auction house?"

Lin Ran didn't listen to the rest of his thoughts. He seemed to understand.

Why did Qian Xiaoyong agree so readily? Maybe he wanted to use his help to change the status quo.

"Actually, at the end of last year, there was a heated discussion in the company about the direction of the auction house." Wang Dong explained the situation to Lin Ran.

"Boss Qian is actually planning to stop and turn into a regular auction house."

"His youngest son Qian Xiaoyong was arranged as the successor, but just when he was preparing to divide power, he encountered a car accident and is still lying in the hospital. The doctor said there is little hope of waking up."

"Subsequently, Qian Dafu took over the auction house based on the idea that his eldest brother is his father. Although boss Qian Xiaoyong also has some management rights, compared to his brother, he is just a polished commander."

As an old employee of the company and the backbone of Lao Qian, Wang Dong knows everything about the company.

"Alas, all those former colleagues have left because they couldn't bear it."

In this day and age, it is difficult to find a job after leaving your job.

Most people either work within the system or live a life with their backs facing the earth and their backs to the sky.

Being able to enter a company is a blessing for many people.

As long as you don't do anything wrong, you won't be fired.

But they would rather leave the auction house without money.

One can imagine how much psychological pressure they endured.

Lin Ran finally figured out the situation. Only then did Wang Dong remember the business and said, "Hey, what's the use of telling you this as a newcomer? If you work hard, the money this company will give you won't Less."

"This is not a question of money." Lin Ran said sternly, "Qian Dafu made a wrong judgment and choice."

Wang Dong was a little surprised and hurried to the door, opened it and looked to see if there was anyone outside.

Then he made a silence gesture to him: "You can't talk nonsense in the company. Have you seen the new management? Except for Liu Jiajia, they are all arranged by Qian Dafu."

In a sense, the actual controller has fallen into the hands of Qian Xiaoyong's brother Qian Dafu.

But Lin Ran still insisted on finishing his words.

"There is a problem with his judgment. He mistakenly believes that it is not illegal to resell cultural relics as long as he is a person from Hong Kong City. In fact, a new management law will be introduced this year. By then, even if it is sold from the mainland to Hong Kong City, as long as it is sold to Hong Kong City, If it is given to foreigners, the company will still be punished.”

Lin Ran's words were not alarmist. He clearly remembered that in the past two years, the country began to pay attention to the antique trade.

Severe crackdowns have been carried out on tomb robbing and smuggling of cultural relics. Now they are only jailed. In a few years, they will even be shot.

Qian Xiaoyong and his father made the right choice. They had made enough money, and it was time to return to the white area and conduct legal business.

Then through charity, the family's reputation can be restored.

This acquisition of Qiansong Auction House is probably based on this intention.

But the company's management is in chaos, and there are two bosses at the same time, which means their goals are not unified.

Lin Ran had forgotten that he only came to the auction house to learn the procedures and regulations. Now there was a more serious problem in front of him.

He must stop the auction house from continuing to engage in illegal activities that result in the loss of cultural relics.

"Haha, young people are very motivated." Wang Dong smiled, then continued to wipe the blue and white vase and said, "But we are just ordinary people, what can we do?"

"Maybe... ok." Lin Ran looked at the cultural relics in the warehouse.

Blue and white porcelain, enamel, and a pearl jade pillow.

He just has these talents on hand.

Lin Ran looked at Wang Dong's old actions and finally made a decision.

"Mr. Wang, actually I am not a new intern, but Qian Xiaoyong asked me to learn about the auction house. My true identity is actually the boss of Shengshi Craftsmanship." Lin Ran thought to himself, if he wants to take the cultural relics To replace him, he must find someone to support him internally.

It seems that Wang Dong is a trustworthy person.

He can only gamble.

Wang Dong continued his work and said with a smile: "Young people should be pragmatic. If you were Lin Ran, why would you go to Ankang Jewelry for an interview? Are you uncomfortable staying in a warm office?"

Obviously, he didn't believe Lin Ran's words.

He also emphasized: "I just told you these things, I just hope you don't go astray, and leave as soon as you can before you turn around. What you just said, just treat it as an old man's nagging, don't take it to heart." , let alone talk about it everywhere.”

Lin Ran looked at the cultural relics in the warehouse and said seriously: "It's not me who should go."
