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

The identity of the other party turned out to be a secret.

This made him very confused, because according to his previous investigation, his family was only engaged in farming.

Among the people he usually made friends with, Yang Jianlong was the only one with some status. Why did he suddenly get involved with the Ministry of Culture and Literature?

From what he knew, Lin Ran actually did a lot of reselling cultural relics before he officially surrendered.

There must be a misunderstanding.

At this auction, he also found out Lin Ran's seat through his own connections. After learning that he had taken the calligraphy and painting, he wanted to kill him secretly.

As long as he cannot complete the tasks of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, he may be investigated by the organization, and then there will be an opportunity.

But he didn't expect that his men would be caught.

"These two brats! They are discussing this matter in public."

He was furious, he didn't expect his subordinates to be so clueless.

The people next to him also felt his anger, so they lowered their heads for fear of being angered.

"I want to see how far he can go?" Zhou Yitian said secretly.

As long as it's a money fight, he doesn't think he will lose.

The purpose of participating in the auction has changed. Now he just wants to hinder Lin Ran from completing the task. Whether he can get the item is another matter.

"Mr. Lin, haven't you already got what you want to buy? Why are we still sitting here?" Guan Yun really didn't like the atmosphere of the auction, it was too depressing.

"There are also gifts for other family leaders." Lin Ran answered lightly.

Originally, I just wanted to take Guan Yun out to see the world. Seeing that he was sitting so uncomfortable, he said, "Guan Yun, if you feel bored, just go out first and drive to pick me up in the evening."

Anyway, he himself is a treasure appraiser, and Guan Yun can't give him any advice.

"That's not okay. You already know that someone is interested in you. As a bodyguard, of course you have to be with you." Guan Yun said, "But I'm not interested in the auction, so I'll just close my eyes for a while. When the time is up, you call me."

"Okay." Lin Ran smiled, "Don't snore."

Their conversation naturally fell into the ears of the fat man next to them.

Fatty had been following them for a long time and had captured the key information just now.

"Ministry of Chinese Language and Literature."

People of their level certainly know the status of the Ministry of Culture and Literature.

That is a higher level unit than the museum.

They would actually participate in a black market auction?

The fat man was covered in cold sweat and felt that he had to restrain himself.

If he is targeted by the Ministry of Culture and Culture, he may be arrested and imprisoned for his secret trading of antiques with businessmen from Citigroup.

The next auction must be done with extreme caution.

The auctioneer entered the venue again and saw everyone staring at him, with a proud look on his face.

"Dear distinguished guests, the afternoon auction is a little different. This time we have prepared several more precious exhibits. Everyone is welcome to bid."

The auction in the afternoon was indeed different from that in the morning. No staff were sent to present the exhibits.

It didn't look like he was being cryptic. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue became tense and serious, and even the sound of fingers moving could be heard clearly.

Zhou Yitian was sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating. After hearing these words, his expression suddenly changed.

I screamed in my heart that it was not good. It seemed that it would be difficult for me to take down Lin Ran today.

Business is important, I'm not feeling happy now, I'll give him a good look later!

Next, the auction continues.

One of the afternoon lots was pushed onto the table.

I have to say that the quality was indeed better than that in the morning, and the participants were significantly more motivated.

Most people seemed to have already noticed the exhibits they were interested in and raised their placards to bid.

Even Lin Ran followed and called the price several times, but stopped when he saw that the price was too high.

It is indeed a gathering of rich people. It usually looks very low-key, but when you actually bid, you know what it means to be ruthless.

And the ones with the highest bids are not the brightly dressed guys.

Instead, there were some people dressed in ordinary-looking clothes.

Some are rich but not rich. Rich people show off their wealth on any occasion, but rich people are different.

Especially now, most of them are first-generation businessmen who started from scratch.

They are smarter and know how to keep a low profile.

You have your own plans in mind for when and how to spend money.

The items in the auction passed one by one, but the people bidding were completely different, and it was more lively than before.

Lin Ran silently watched the auction items being auctioned off in the audience, and felt calm in his heart.

Most of them were antiques, and three or two of them even exceeded his estimated price for the antiques.

I'm afraid I can buy it at this price not because I want to make money, but because the buyer likes it.

For this kind of buyer, Lin Ran felt relieved.

They should not circulate the auction items to the market.

Instead, Lin Ran was thinking: "Not all black market auctions come here for the cultural relics of Jie Hu. There must be many people who come here with the intention of earning the price difference.

Black market auctions can allow many small bosses to make a lot of money at once.

The auction venue is already very busy.

But soon, the order at the venue reached its peak.

It just made Lin Ran feel speechless.

Because the next item that the auctioneer wants to auction is a colorful flower vase that was inspected by Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty.

When Lin Ran saw it at first, he thought it looked familiar, but then he thought that this colorful flower vase was clearly in the exhibition area of ​​the National Museum.

When I visited Yang Mingwei before, I had clearly seen the exhibits.

There are only two possibilities here.

The first is that there is a traitor in the National Museum who steals cultural relics for sale.

This possibility is not high, because the management system of the National Museum is relatively sophisticated, and it is also equipped with corresponding anti-theft measures.

If anyone could steal the cultural relics inside and sell them, it would be like the palace in Wanqing, where eunuchs and maids would participate in the theft, and the museum would be emptied out in a short time.

So it should be the second possibility.

The exhibit is a fake.

As for whether the exhibits in the museum were fakes or whether the exhibits at the auction were fakes, Lin Ran couldn't tell yet.

That's when things got interesting, though.

He felt there was something wrong with the vase just by looking at it, but he didn't question it face to face.

The unspoken rule of the industry is to see through and don't tell. Unless it offends your own interests, there is no need to expose him, as long as you don't buy it.

Lin Ran thought this in his heart, but his face remained calm.

But this time, a very special situation occurred, that is, the auction failed.

No one was willing to bid.

"Strange, is the flaw in this thing so obvious? No one takes a fancy to it?" Lin Ran felt a little surprised.
