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

Although the final reception ended unhappy, after all, it was someone else's family matter, and Lin Ran and the others didn't take it to heart.

Wu Ning and Liu Jiajia had no other place to go, so they were naturally left behind by Lin Ran.

Compared with the newcomers, these two veterans with rich work experience have to be said to be talents sent from heaven.

The work of preparing the auction house was naturally left in their hands, and they soon found the address of the auction house.

The location of the shop is really good, and it is an independent house, which is convenient for renovation.

But Lin Ran didn't know why such a large piece of land was needed. This shop was probably a furniture processing factory before. They were just a sales organization. Did they need such a large piece of land?

"The area of ​​​​[-] square meters is about the same, because when opening an auction house, the most important thing is a fixed warehouse. In fact, the office area only needs about [-] square meters." Liu Jiajia explained with a smile.

Lin Ran nodded. As expected, professionals still need to work efficiently.

Wu Ning has already gone to recruit auctioneers. Currently, the total number of auctioneers in the country is less than 1, scattered across the country, and the qualifications of auctioneers vary. In order to find the best talents, Wu Ning had to go to the auction house to recruit people in person. .

Work was in full swing. Sitting in the office, Lin Ran stretched his muscles.

Finally, a worry was settled. Just take the report compiled by Liu Jiajia and give it to Chen Yu to apply for funds.

The biggest problem of the auction house is security. Currently there are few camera equipment and lack of monitoring. Security guards can only be hired to keep watch.

Machines can have problems, let alone people.

Therefore, Lin Ran needs to sort out the security procedures. At least in his auction house, cultural relics are not allowed to appear when they are transferred privately.

He decided to adopt a three-power system, that is, if you want to enter the cultural relics warehouse, you need at least three keys, and three staff belonging to different groups supervise each other inside.

He is still drafting the specific operation.

The estimated cost of buying the facade and renovating it is [-].

The good news does not go to outsiders, so the decoration work is naturally handed over to Baimao.

When Bai Mao heard that it was a big project, he happily came to give Lin Ran a gift. Of course Lin Ran took it away and just said: "Renovating the shop is the greatest reward for me."

He referred to the decoration style of later auction houses. As an auction house, the most important thing is to give people a high-end and classy feeling.

Therefore, the door must use plexiglass, so that the inside can be directly seen from the outside, and some exhibits must be placed at the door to attract customers.

Coincidentally, just last year, a plexiglass factory opened in Tianjin, but it has not yet opened up sales, and Lin Ran happened to be their first customer.

The decoration work was also handed over. Lin Ran's plan was to use 20 yuan to complete all the work, and the remaining money would be used as the start-up capital of the auction house.

His main focus was on the operation of the auction house. Halfway through writing the plan, he remembered a question.

There is a big difference between the operation of an auction house and an antique shop.

In the 80s, due to the lack of information circulation, the main channel for collectors to sell their collections was auction houses.

The requirement is that the collection has a high collection value, and ordinary collections cannot go to auction at all.

Antique shops do not have so many requirements. Sellers only need to hand over the items to the master of the antique shop to identify the authenticity and then sell them.

The antique shop earns the price difference, while the auction house earns the handling fee.

Some antique stores will also organize auctions to sell cultural relics in the store.

If we follow the development model of previous generations, development will encounter bottlenecks.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder it's difficult to invest. To build a world-renowned auction house, you need to have so many rare treasures."

It is better to simply invest in real estate, buy a few more courtyard houses in the capital, and wait for the value to increase in the next 30 years.

I'm afraid the money you earn won't appreciate as quickly as real estate, but if you just buy a house, life will be too boring.

Lin Ran put down his pen because he was too tired. He hadn't had a good rest during this period. He gave himself a holiday today and got off work early. Anyway, the preparation work was in progress and the operation was not in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran relaxed his body and left the office.

In the next few days, Lin Ran took time to accompany Yuan Qianyun. After getting a car, they visited the capital.

He prefers the old neighborhood to the Third Ring Road that is being built.

Especially when walking near courtyard houses, these old alleys will be scenes that can only be seen in movies in the future.

Lin Ran found it very interesting to be able to enjoy the original taste now.

Yuan Qianyun didn't care, as long as he could stay with Lin Ran.

"Speaking of which, how's the auction house going?" Yuan Qianyun asked while drinking mung bean soup.

"Huh? Why do you care about my work?" Lin Ran raised his head and asked. Yuan Qianyun never asked him about his work before.

Yuan Qianyun was a little anxious, but pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Sister Gu didn't ask me to ask. She already cares about you."

"She is probably concerned about my investment." Lin Ran smiled and tapped the tip of Yuan Qianyun's nose with his hand, "Why, are you jealous?"

"No." Yuan Qianyun's cheeks turned red, then turned his head to the side and said, "I just feel that as a girlfriend, I don't seem to be doing a good enough job, and I can't support you at work."

She finally spoke her true words. Lin Ran was worried that she would be angry just now, but now he is relieved.

"It's okay, I can handle it now, and Uncle Yuan also helped me a lot. The managers and directors of our auction house were all arranged by people he introduced." Lin Ran smiled.

"Really? That's great." Yuan Qianyun seemed very happy that she could finally help Lin Ran, although it was her father's credit.

As the saying goes, men rule the world, and women only need to take care of men.

I originally thought that Yuan Qianyun didn't care about this at all, but now it seems that some instincts are written in genes.

As long as the auction house and jewelry studio are established, he can propose marriage to Yuan Jiahao and marry Yuan Qianyun home...

Thinking of this, Lin Ran suddenly remembered something.

"Qianyun, I'll take you to a fun place!" Lin Ran took Yuan Qianyun's hand.

"Where?"

"my home."

"What's fun at your house?" Yuan Qianyun was speechless, thinking that Lin Ran had thought of something fun, but it turned out that he was going home.

He was probably showing her the cultural relics he had collected. In fact, apart from the jade carvings, she wasn't too interested in other cultural relics.

"My new home."

The decoration work of his home has also been completed, but his parents are worried about formaldehyde, so they will not move in for the time being.

But now it's no problem to go and see it. He wants to take Yuan Qianyun to see the new house to show his design skills and at the same time, to check and accept their decoration results.
