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

It can be circulated in the market and is protected by the property rights of individual citizens.

He directly said that he was here to buy antiques, and it was obvious that he had a lot of background.

Next to the fat man, the treasure appraisal expert was still giving him advice.

The fat man just said impatiently: "Just watch it for yourselves. Anyway, Mr. Smith likes it."

This time he purchased antiques on behalf of Mr. Smith from Citi.

The three treasure appraisal experts nodded. They were responsible for taking the money to do the work. As for whose hands the antiques would end up in, they didn't care at all.

Lin Ran didn't notice the fat man's strange behavior. A gentleman basically wouldn't eavesdrop on other people's conversations, so he didn't notice it.

"Are there any antiques on it?" Guan Yun asked curiously.

"At present, the second exhibit can actually be regarded as an antique, but it has little research value and is not considered a top-level cultural relic." Lin Ran explained patiently.

The purpose of his visit this time is very clear. First of all, the national treasure calligraphy and painting must be taken back.

No matter the price, it must not fall into the hands of others.

As for the money, it doesn’t matter if the Ministry of Culture and Literature doesn’t reimburse me, I can take it out.

After several trips to the grave, some of the projects he invested in were successful.

Now Lin Ran's net worth is on par with Zheng Xueming's, and it's easy to get hundreds of thousands.

Of course, money must be spent wisely.

Jade like imperial green would never get into his eyes.

But speaking of it, if there are no interesting exhibits at the auction, it is actually a boring thing.

Waiting for other people to bid uniformly, this process often takes half an hour.

The first round of auctions is finally over.

Free up the remaining time so that everyone can go to the bathroom and interact with those around them.

Then the staff brought up the next exhibits.

"Are all the small items you have here?" Lin Ran asked.

He noticed that the staff always brought the exhibits up on a tray.

In theory, there should also be some large antiques.

The staff member smiled and said: "The large objects are all in the back. If this gentleman is interested, you can follow me to the backstage to check it out later."

"Okay." Lin Ran nodded.

The staff brought the objects up one by one, with a total of 30 items in total.

This break lasted for 20 minutes. After taking a look at the items that he didn't like, Lin Ran also went to the toilet.

When I came back, the auction officially started.

Lin Ran originally thought that he could pick out some remaining antiques if he had the opportunity, but there were too few things that caught his eye.

I don’t know if the black market auction was deliberately to whet their appetites, but the quality of the items presented at the beginning was mediocre.

People at the auction house also noticed his strange behavior.

As VIP customers, they are the ones they must serve well.

Seeing that he had not made any movement since he entered the auction, the manager secretly thought to himself: "Is this gentleman a bit picky?"

He took out Lin Ran's information, but it said Lin Ran's name was Lin Yu.

It says he is the manager of a jewelry store.

But I thought it was strange that he actually gave me a deposit of 100 million yuan.

In this era, what does 100 million mean?

One million households with a level of 100 yuan can provide this amount of deposit, and other customers can basically ignore it.

He never asked for a price, but the manager felt like an ant crawling in his heart.

As the auction got better, the items Lin Ran was interested in finally appeared.

It's that calligraphy and painting.

The reserve price for this calligraphy and painting is very high, starting from 5.

This price undoubtedly frightened many auctioneers.

"So expensive?" There were whispers in the venue.

Lin Ran smiled faintly. You must know that this calligraphy and painting comes from the Five Dynasties period and is the work of a master of painting.

After his appraisal just now, the probability of authenticity is over 90%.

Even he couldn't be [-]% sure that it was the real thing.

Anyway, it’s the Ministry of Culture and Culture that pays for it. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, as long as it’s picked up and taken down.

So Lin Ran waved his hand and raised the sign.

"10."

Lin Ran doubled it without hesitation.

His price was based on his own inner estimation.

In fact, the people at the auction house also calculated the market conditions when giving the reserve price.

They know exactly how much the final markup can be, and the base price is usually not too far from the final price.

"Awesome." The manager, who was observing in the dark, wiped his sweat.

This young man is fine if he doesn't take action. Once he takes action, it will be a big sum.

And it's very close to their estimate.

Is there really such a magical treasure appraiser in the capital?

You must know that their auction house's reputation mainly relies on their treasure appraisers.

In the entire capital, there are absolutely no more than one person who can be more professional than their treasure appraiser.

He really saw it today.

When Lin Ran shouted out the high price of 10, the whole audience fell into an uproar again.

"Why is there such a price?"

"It sounds like he is a young man. He should be a child of a big family, right?"

"It's a big family. It's okay. They have a lot of money anyway."

"Tsk, it's just a calligraphy and painting from the Tang Dynasty, nothing new."

Most of the people participating in the auction have some antique knowledge and can tell the age of the calligraphy and painting.

But the identification of authenticity is a matter of opinion.

When this book was presented, most people felt that there was a high possibility that it was a fake.

Because this volume looks very thick, and the paper is somewhat damaged, but there is no trace of yellowing.

According to their understanding of antiques, paper will carbonize after being stored for a long time, and yellow marks will appear.

But this volume showed no signs of turning yellow.

In addition, most people have not studied the text inside, so they don't take it seriously.

The price of 5 yuan is also beyond the affordability limit of many people.

You must know that although the people who come to the auction are businessmen, there are also nobles.

But what they can give is limited after all. Antiques are just a hobby for them, or a guarantee for good interpersonal relationships.

If they really want to spend their money on antiques, they are absolutely unwilling to do it.

So after several inspections, most people chose to give up.

Lin Ran's price surprised them even more, and the price doubled.

Many people think he is a fool.

But something even weirder happened.

The fat man next to him was about to bid, but the treasure appraisal expert beside him reminded him: "Mr. Huang, there is a high possibility that this scroll is a fake. Don't buy it."

The fat man hesitated at first, but then he saw Lin Ran double the amount and made up his mind.
