Chen Ran was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and quickly called Cao Huiyao, but the cell phone notification sound said that Cao Huiyao's cell phone had been turned off, and the call to the Cao family's landline also received a busy signal, which was obviously because the phone had been moved away.
Already...
Smiling dumbly, needless to say, Chen Ran also knew that he was too busy to visit Ruoruo during this period, which made Sister Huiyao angry. Guessing that he would call back, he not only turned off his mobile phone, but also turned off the landline phone.
It was moved away.
Shaking his head in confusion, Chen Ran decided to go to Cao's house tomorrow. Looking at the situation, if he didn't go tomorrow, he might not even be allowed in next time.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Chen Ran began to think about which auction house to authorize it to. Of course, auction houses like Christie's were not among his considerations.
Although Christie's Auction House is one of the largest auction houses in the world, with auction agencies all over the world, Chen Ran almost didn't consider it. Chen Ran gave up on choosing Christie's Auction House, mainly because it was too troublesome and the procedures involved were too complicated.
, the start of filming will have to be pushed back to at least a year later.
Of course, the main reason is that this auction house is a foreign auction house after all. Although Chen Ran is not an angry young man, he does not have a good impression of Christie's. Maybe it is psychological factors. In fact, it is not just Chen Ran, as long as he knows the inside story
Domestic people do not have much favorable impressions of this auction house, especially collectors in the collecting industry.
Looking at the auctions that caused a stir in China, they were all sold by domestic auction houses. For the Chinese cultural relics auctioned by Christie's, the auctioneers were not domestic.
Both the domestic people and the government have a very bad impression of the Christie's auction house. They have even sniped at the domestic activities of the Christie's auction house many times. After reading "Sniping at Christie's" written by Mr. Xu Xiujiang and Xu, you will understand that Christie's ignores
The Chinese people have opposed and the government has urged many times to forcibly auction Chinese cultural relics lost overseas. Almost every auction of Chinese cultural relics will cause a wave of opposition in the country. Of course, let’s not mention these for now.
Chen Ran is now mainly considering whether to auction in the capital or in the Central Plains Province. In fact, for a complete set of rare treasures such as the Kangxi Dynasty Five-Colored Flower God Cup, as long as it is auctioned domestically, it will be the same no matter which city it is auctioned in, because
As long as the news is released, it will cause a sensation across the country.
As for which auction house to choose, Chen Ran thought about it and decided to give priority to Dingsheng Auction House. The main reason is that this auction house is the largest auction house in the province. By cooperating with this auction house, he will have more say.
After all, what he really wants to auction is more than one set. He may hide it from the auction house before the auction, so he must have the right to speak. If he chooses the big auction houses in the capital, he does not have that much influence.
If you want to promote one set but then auction several sets, people will not agree. After all, this may offend others. A big family and a big business have many things to consider.
I think so. How to do it specifically depends on checking the information.
The next morning, Chen Ran was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. He checked the information too late last night and was a little sleepy. The call was from Mr. Bai, mainly to ask him how the progress was.
Chen Ran did not hide anything from Bai Lao this time, saying that the collection had been successful. Of course, he did not say that he had collected five sets, he just said that the collection was successful.
After Bai Lao heard about it, he was extremely happy and kept laughing. He said, "Look, when the news is announced, those old guys' jaws will definitely drop to the ground."
Mr. Bai was not in Zhongdu at the moment, so he asked Chen Ran to take it over and show it to him. After he was happy, he asked Chen Ran how he planned to auction it. Chen Ran said he was still considering it. Mr. Bai and Chen Ran had the same idea.
, it can be auctioned anywhere, of course, it would be better if it was in the capital. He also said that if Chen Ran wanted to auction in the capital or Shanghai, he could help contact the auction house.
Chen Ran said yes, and then asked Mr. Bai if he had any ideas for collecting them. Having collected so many Flower God Cups, Mr. Bai's help was undoubtedly huge. When Chen Ran was collecting them, he thought that when they were done collecting them, he would transfer them to them at a low price.
Same old thing.
"Xiao Ran, if a set of Flower God Cups appeared at the auction before you took out the Osmanthus Cup, I would have taken them even if I lost all my money. But it's different now. The fun of collecting lies in the obsession in my heart. I
The obsession with the Flower God Cup is to collect complete sets. Now that you have collected a set, it is not much different from me collecting a set. The obsession in my heart has also gone, and there is no longer much meaning in collecting it or not.
What I'm most looking forward to now is to see the faces of those old guys after your set of Flower God Cups appears at the auction, haha..."
Although Mr. Bai rejected Chen Ran's kindness, he was still very happy that Chen Ran could think of him. After all, if he put it up for auction, it would not only fetch a high price, but also bring Chen Ran a huge reputation.
Just imagine, once the complete set of Flower God Cups is released, Chen Ran will have a place in the antique industry across the country.
After hanging up the call from Bai Lao, he packed up, and Chen Ran hurried towards Cao's house. On the way, he passed the Wal-Mart supermarket and parked the SUV on the side of the road. He got off the car and went to the supermarket to buy some potato chips.
I bought snacks such as shrimp crackers and some juice jelly that children like, and filled two plastic bags full.
After buying snacks for the little beauty of the Cao family, I thought that the older beauty of the Cao family was also angry, so I thought about buying something too, but I looked around and couldn't find anything suitable.
I simply chose a set of cosmetics.
He drove into the community and parked the car at the door. Chen Ran got out of the car and rang the doorbell. As soon as the doorbell rang, the door was opened. The person who opened the door for Chen Ran was Cao Huiyao.
Cao Huiyao is still dressed in home clothes, wearing light yellow cropped pants on the lower body and a slim white shirt on the upper body. Cao Huiyao's body shape has plump breasts and round buttocks, and her waist is also extremely slender. Such an outfit makes her look even more beautiful.
Her beautiful figure was perfectly displayed, with her plump mounds and round buttocks suddenly tightened in at the waist, tightly wrapping a perfect prototype. It was quite thrilling, and one look at her heart
I have an urge to squeeze it.
"Sister Huiyao, you haven't gone to work yet?" Chen Ran greeted Cao Huiyao. Cao Huiyao went to work at around eight o'clock. It was still early. He chose this time to come because he was afraid that Cao Huiyao would go to work and there would be no one at home.
"Have a rest today." Cao Huiyao leaned against the door with her hands behind her back and looked at Chen Ran, nodding slightly with no expression on her face. She glanced at the plastic bag Chen Ran was carrying, her eyes were a little erratic, but she asked seriously: "What are you doing?
Are you running here now?"
You are not asking knowingly.
Chen Ran was a little dumbfounded, and quickly said with a smile: "I haven't seen Ruoruo for several days, I came to see her."
"Oh, come and see Ruoruo."
Cao Huiyao nodded slightly, but there was still no special expression on her face. She was calm and cold. Although she did not look angry, she did not say to let Chen Ran in. When she opened the door, she did not open all the doors.
There was only a gap opened, and she stood there, holding the handle on the door with both hands behind her back, pulling and pushing, and there was a slight creaking sound.
What's your expression like? Let me go in first and talk about it.
Shaking his head, Chen Ran couldn't guess Cao Huiyao's thoughts, so he had to ask: "Is Ruoruo feeling better?"
"It's better." Cao Huiyao nodded slightly, then hummed and added: "I'm just sleeping."
Chen Ran snorted, and after hearing what Cao Huiyao added, he finally understood. That is, you came to see Ruoruo, but Ruoruo was sleeping... Then, there is no need to say what to do.
Bar.
Chen Ran smiled dumbly: "Sister Huiyao, I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss you very much..."
When Chen Ran said this, the creaking sound coming from the door suddenly stopped.
Cao Huiyao still had no expression on her face, but she was obviously a little uncomfortable. She looked away from Chen Ran's face and looked behind Chen Ran. She slowly raised her hand to straighten her temples, pretending
Blinking his eyes calmly: "Ruoruo is upstairs, go see her, she was talking about you just now."
Before she finished speaking, without even looking at Chen Ran, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen very quickly, seemingly very slowly. Of course, Chen Ran didn't see the red clouds rising up in her cheeks the moment she turned around.
The root of his neck was also red and burning, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Although Chen Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't think about anything else. It was normal for siblings to make such jokes, otherwise he wouldn't have said it so easily.
After putting the things he bought on the table in the living room, Chen Ran went upstairs. The Cao family only had one daughter. Cao Guoxiong and his wife lived downstairs, and Cao Huiyao lived upstairs with her daughter.
When I opened the bedroom door, I saw a little girl wearing a snow-white dress lying on the ground with her butt sticking out as if she was drawing, and she was mumbling.
Chen Ran walked quietly behind the little girl and heard the little girl murmuring milkily. Unexpectedly, he also mentioned his name.
"Uncle Xiaoran, you came to see me, but I ignored you. Mom said you were a bad guy and didn't want me and mom anymore. She told me to ignore you. Well... why haven't you come yet? Didn't mom say you
Will you come today? If you don’t come, I will really ignore you..."
[There are so few red tickets in the past two days. I vomited blood and begged for red tickets... Also, I would like to thank three book friends, Azure Bear, Back to My Parents’ Home, and Asan Ge, for their rewards. 】
