"Little... little brother, are you... kidding?" Liu Laogen swallowed hard. He was so excited that he stuttered a little. After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Ran and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else.
Yes, but after looking at Wang Liang, he put back what he said. He looked at Wang Liang, waiting for Wang Liang to say something, obviously he couldn't believe Chen Ran.
Wang Liang was also frightened by Chen Ran's quotation. He watched Chen Ran fondly rubbing the jar up and down, and asked in shock: "Chen Ran, is this jar really worth so much?"
"It's worth it. Of course it's worth it. Don't worry. I said it's worth this much. But you must also know that if you take this thing and sell it yourself, no matter where you go to sell it, people will only give it to you at most.
Two hundred thousand, I accept this cup not just to make money, but because it has other uses for me. With my relationship with you here, I will never let Uncle Gen suffer..." Chen Ran
He nodded heavily. Although he didn't want to find out, it was better to explain some things, lest he directly bid such a high price and make the other party think that his price was low.
Wang Liang stuck out his tongue. Although he heard Chen Ran say that Chen Ran made some money tinkering with antiques, he never expected that Chen Ran would be so big, with hundreds of thousands of dollars in business, and from Chen Ran's tone
Judging from this, it is obvious that Chen Ran doesn't care about the 400,000 yuan at all. Otherwise, Chen Ran is not stupid. Let alone 400,000 yuan, Uncle Gen would probably be eager to sell it even if he was given 10,000 yuan. And now Chen Ran bids so high
, undoubtedly for his sake.
This trust and respect really touched him. In fact, when he learned that Chen Ran had made a fortune, he was still a little worried about whether Chen Ran would change his mind. After all, such a thing was so normal. Chen Ran made a fortune.
, and he is just a farmer now. The difference in identity and status can be said to be thousands of miles away. It is normal to look down on him. Now he is completely relieved. Although his best friend has changed a lot,
But the relationship with him remained unchanged.
His guess was correct. Chen Ran really cared about his face. If he were a stranger, he would never give him so much. This is not because Chen Ran is unkind, but it is like this in the antique industry. In the antique industry,
There is a moral bottom line in the antique business.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. When Chen Ran was in trouble, Wang Liang didn't help him much, but for Wang Liang, he definitely tried his best. After Chen Ran's accident, Wang Liang also directly asked for leave and went home to collect money for Chen Ran.
Yes, Chen Ran has kept this thought in his heart.
When Chen Ran said this, Wang Liang was moved but also calmed down. He looked at Liu Laogen and said, "Uncle Laogen, are you satisfied with the price my classmate has offered? There are often people in our village who collect old things.
You also know how they set the price. If we look at this cup, we will definitely not be able to understand it. If someone else comes to collect it, for a thousand yuan, I guess we will just sell it..."
"Xiao Liang, I understand what you mean. If I can't trust others, why can't I trust you? It's just this money... As long as it's cash, for your sake, then I'll sell it."
Fortunately, Liu Laogen is reasonable, but he is obviously a little worried about whether Chen Ran can afford the money, or he is afraid that he will lose the money after selling the things. This is normal in rural areas, and officials do this all the time.
They are all afraid of being cheated, and can only rest assured when they see cash. Otherwise, it will be all joy in vain, and it may not be a blessing but a curse.
"Uncle Lao Gen, don't worry about this. It doesn't matter if you want cash or deposit it in the bank. I don't have cash with me, and we can't transfer money here. I'll leave this cup here for you first. When I leave, let me
Wang Liang will accompany you to the city with me. If you want cash, I will give it to you directly. If you want to deposit it in the bank, I will transfer it to you. Is that okay?" Chen Ran could also guess his concerns,
It gave him a reassurance very simply.
"No problem, no problem..."
Liu Laogen couldn't help but nodded repeatedly with joy, but he thought that when the time came, he would ask a few more people to go with him, so that he wouldn't be afraid of Xiaoliang's classmates defaulting on their debts. After agreeing, he couldn't sit still and shouted excitedly toward the yard.
Xiao shouted: "Er Mao, go and call your mother back. By the way, call your grandma back too. Come on, tell them there is something going on at home and ask them to come back quickly."
"Little brother, look at me, I even forgot to pour you tea..." At this time, Liu Laogen's attitude towards Chen Ran was obviously much more enthusiastic, and he hurriedly entertained Chen Ran.
"Uncle Lao Gen, now you think of giving us tea..." Wang Liang looked at him busy in amusement. There are not so many things in the countryside. Neighbors come to visit, and as a man, it's just a cigarette.
Smoking, tea is only served to guests from out of town, but this is because there are not many tea drinkers in rural areas, and it is obviously not uncommon to entertain neighbors with boiled water or tea with sugar. When Wang Liang brought Chen Ran over,
Liu Laogen didn't serve him tea either.
"Uncle Gen, can you still find the porcelain shards from the cup you dropped last time? And can I ask how you got this pair of cups?" The matter has been settled.
, Chen Ran also asked the question that was holding in his heart.
"Little brother, you mean... the cup I dropped is worth... four hundred thousand?" The huge surprise brought by four hundred thousand made Liu Laogen forget about the cup he dropped. Listening to Chen Ran
After saying this, he suddenly remembered and was dumbfounded. That cup had always been filled with honey. Not long ago, he and his wife had an argument and smashed it.
Not to mention Liu Laogen was dumbfounded, even Wang Liang was also dumbfounded. He didn't mention the price of the cup just now. Neither he nor Liu Laogen cared about the one that was thrown away. Now they suddenly remembered that that cup was the same as this cup.
The cups are a pair. This one can only be sold for 400,000 yuan. Wouldn’t it be the same for the other one? The 400,000 yuan thing was smashed?
Liu Laogen stared blankly at Chen Ran, waiting for Chen Ran's reply. At this time, he wanted Chen Ran to tell him that one was worthless, so he wouldn't have to regret it. Otherwise, think about it,
People are confused.
Chen Ran smiled bitterly and nodded: "These two are exactly the same. This one is worth so much, and that one is certainly worth so much, but even though it was broken, if we can find all the porcelain pieces, it will still be worth it.
Some money..."
If you can find them all, there will be no problem. If you can't find them, they won't be worth much. It's worth a thousand dollars.
Chen Ran's words simply made Liu Laogen fall from heaven to hell, and his intestines turned green with regret.
"Porcelain tiles? I'll go look for it..." Although he regretted it very much, Liu Laogen finally heard Chen Ran's words clearly. Chen Ran trailed off, forced a smile, and rushed out in a panic.
Wang Liang's lips twitched and he didn't know what to say. Although the money was not his, it was a pity that 400,000 yuan was gone like this.
"Chen Ran, is this jar really worth 400,000?"
After Liu Laogen went out, Wang Liang looked around the pickle jar placed on the table twice. He couldn't figure out how it could be so valuable for just a pickle jar.
"It's worth it. Of course it's worth it. It's no problem to get 400,000 yuan at the auction." Chen Ran replied affirmatively. This could be regarded as giving Wang Liang a clear answer.
"Then you can't make a penny?" Wang Liang said with some embarrassment. Chen Ran came to his village to collect things. As the host, he still wanted to help Chen Ran, but now he
With him following him, Chen Ran would not be able to make any money.
Chen Ran smiled and shook his head: "The value of antiques cannot be measured by money. Although you can't make money by collecting them, for those who like them, money comes second. This kind of cup comes in a set.
There are twelve of them, I collected them just to collect a set and then sell the whole set."
"That's it." Wang Liang didn't quite understand it, but he understood a little of what Chen Ran meant. He felt as if he was collecting this cup to make big money. This was just a small amount of money in front of him. Can he make it?
It didn't matter at all, which surprised him. Hundreds of thousands is still just a small amount of money?
When he saw Chen Ran this time, Chen Ran's changes really shocked him. In his palm-sized sky, he couldn't imagine how Chen Ran could change so much, nor could he imagine what Chen Ran was doing now.
How big is the business?
While Wang Liang was watching around the jar, Chen Ran was also thinking about how to help Wang Liang. He wanted Wang Liang to follow him out of Yangliu Village. Even if he gave Wang Liang a sum of money, Wang Liang was still so young.
You can't just stay in this village like this for the rest of your life, but I don't know if Wang Liang is willing or not. Wang Liang went directly back home to farm, which is also the reason why he had a girlfriend he dated in college.
The person Wang Liang was dating in school was a local from Zhongdu. After graduation, the person broke up with him. Maybe he was a little bit shocked, so Wang Liang returned to his hometown.
"Chen Ran."
Chen Ran was just thinking about how to talk to Wang Liang about this matter, but was suddenly interrupted by Wang Liang's shout.
After sighing, Chen Ran couldn't help but look up at Wang Liang, only to see Wang Liang squatting on the table and frowning as he looked at the Flower God Cup in front of him.
Chen Ran looked over, but Wang Liang didn't even look back, as if he was concentrating on thinking about something.
"Chen Ran, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel that this kind of cup seems a bit familiar. I should have seen it somewhere before..."
