Chapter 712 Yang Xinghe

You wonder why, it turns out that the people participating in the auction sitting in this auction hall are so weird. There are not only successful people in suits, but also some old men in Tang suits. There are also Taoist monks and even foreign devils and lamas. At a glance, it’s really amazing.

All three religions and nine streams are present.

"The old man called me over at noon today to ask about you and Fifth Sister." Before Chen Ran could look at him, he suddenly heard Wu Laosan say to him.

"What did you say?" Chen Ran asked after being stunned.

"You don't seem to be worried at all..." Wu Laosan kept looking at Chen Ran after saying what he just said. He thought that Chen Ran's face would change drastically after hearing what he said, but it turned out that Chen Ran didn't react much after hearing what he said.

.

"What's the use of worrying? Besides, I didn't want to hide it from anyone in the first place?" Chen Ran looked at Wu Laosan and smiled, "Third brother, maybe you are still the same person you were a few months ago, but I am no longer the same person.

I am the same person I was a month ago. Last time you threatened me and asked me to leave Xiaoyu, but this time you will not have such an opportunity again, not only you, but also others... No one can make me leave Xiaoyu again. "

Chen Ran said the last sentence very decisively.

Perhaps intimidated by Chen Ran's sudden aura at this moment, or perhaps shocked by Chen Ran's confident and arrogant words, Wu Laosan looked at Chen Ran and was stunned again and again, but after reacting, he

He snorted and said, "Do you think that with He Zhenhua and Rong Mingyang as your backer, our Wu family can't do anything to you?"

Last time I had a bet with Zhang Hongjun in the club, this guy was also there, so he knew that Chen Ran knew He Zhenhua and then Rong Mingyang.

Chen Ran was not angry, and just said calmly: "I don't deny that there is such a reason, but it is not the key. The key is that there is no backing, and I will never back down. I don't want to fall out with your Wu family, just because I

Just because I don’t want to embarrass Xiaoyu doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of your Wu family.”

"Do you believe that our Wu family can make you bankrupt and lose everything with just one word?" Wu Laosan said with a sneer.

"I believe it." Chen Ran smiled and nodded, then looked at Wu Laosan and said: "Then, third brother, do you believe that as long as I am willing, I can earn a bigger fortune than this in just one month?

"

When Wu Laosan heard this, he wanted to refute with a sneer, but then he remembered Chen Ran's gambling skills. He saw it with his own eyes when Chen Ran and Zhang Hongjun were betting against each other, although he didn't see how Chen Ran won when they bet against Sangong.

Yes, but later on the gambling dice could not be seen more clearly.

"Do you count on your gambling skills? Then don't die without knowing how..."

It's true that people with good gambling skills don't have to worry about spending money, but this is only for ordinary people. It's obviously not possible to expect this to make a fortune. The last time I bet with Zhang Hongjun was a coincidence, and I didn't know that Chen Ran had gambling skills.

If they knew Chen Ran's gambling skills, then no one would dare to gamble with Chen Ran, and it would be even worse to gamble in a casino. If you win a little money, the people in the casino will know about it, and if you meet a real casino, they will give you a reward.

Money made you leave, but you met someone with a dark heart...

If it weren't for this, knowing that Chen Ran was so good at gambling, Wu Laosan might have wanted to save up and go to a casino in Macau with Chen Ran to make some money and spend it.

Chen Ran did not argue with Wu Laosan, but just smiled noncommittally. It is true that gambling can make money quickly, but he has never expected to make money through this.

In fact, thinking about it, there are many ways for him to make money, but some of them are too slow for him to wait for, while others are because he doesn't have enough capital to get involved now.

It seems that he needs to think carefully about the ways he can make money.

"Let's not talk about our Wu family for the moment. The old man knows about you and Fifth Sister. I'm afraid the one in the south will also know soon. He is not a soft-hearted person. Behind him are not only the support of major families in Nanyang, but also the princes from almost all over the country.

The Party works for him. Although his sphere of influence has been compressed to the Hainan area through continuous suppression from above, this is only on the surface. There are also countless capable people under his re-establishment in Longtang, and I am afraid that any one of them can be taken at will.

Your life..."

Wu Laosan originally wanted to scare Chen Ran with the one from the south, but as he spoke, he slowed down his tone.

Chen Ran could naturally see that Wu Laosan was trying to scare him on the surface, but in fact he was reminding himself.

"Soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. It's not that easy for him to kill me." Chen Ran's tone was still very calm. He was only worried about the people around him, but he was not worried at all about himself. The people around him...he

With the General Staff and the He Jiarong family behind him, as long as the other party has the slightest scruples, they may not dare to directly attack his family. Of course, they cannot take it lightly. Just because that person can't do it doesn't mean that his subordinates can't do it either.

Wu Laosan looked at Chen Ran without saying a word, as if to see what confidence Chen Ran had.

"What's going on?" As soon as the two fell silent, a questioning voice came from next to them.

Chen Ran looked up and saw a dignified middle-aged man in his forties standing next to their seat asking.

Chen Ran didn't know the other person so he didn't speak.

"This is my second uncle Yang Xinghe." Seeing that Chen Ran didn't recognize him, Wu Laosan introduced Chen Ran and said, "The club and the auction company are both opened by my second uncle."

"Hello, Mr. Yang." Chen Ran said hello, but was surprised in his heart. He had heard Xiaoyu talk about her second uncle before. It was said that she met her second uncle when she went to the countryside. He was also from a poor family in the countryside.

Born in China, after finishing junior high school, he became a primary school teacher in their local primary school. Later, Xiaoyu's second aunt went to the countryside and came to their place. The two met and got together. Later, the educated youth returned to the city. If Xiaoyu's second aunt hadn't been there at that time,

They were already pregnant with each other's child and the second aunt Xiaoyu was trying to force each other to death... In the end, although the two were not forced to separate by the Wu family, they were not less angry with the Wu family for this.

According to this statement, Xiaoyu's second uncle should be just an ordinary elementary school teacher. Although he later established a career in the capital, he could not be said to have much ability. However, the Yang Xinghe in front of him was beyond Chen Ran's understanding.

.

Just one glance at Chen Ran revealed that the other person was not a simple person. He didn't say anything else, just the aura on his body... Chen Ran felt a very sharp but mysterious aura on the other person...

All this shows that Xiaoyu's second uncle is a martial arts practitioner and a master, but it's just that the other party seems to know some ways to restrain his own aura.

This was also Chen Ran. An ordinary martial arts practitioner would probably not be able to tell that the other party had practiced martial arts. Even a master in this area would at most be able to tell that the other party had some background in martial arts from other aspects.

"You are Chen Ran, right?" Yang Xinghe stared at Chen Ran with interest, and then said with a sigh: "It's so similar, if my old friend was still there, it would be hard for you two to stand together.

Easy to distinguish..."

He looked at Chen Ran who was very interested but not surprised. This obviously meant that he had already seen Chen Ran. Thinking that he opened this club, Chen Ran knew that the other party must have been watching in the monitoring room just now.

I just came here when I arrived.

"What does it really look like?" Wu Laosan asked strangely.

"Like an old friend of mine." Yang Xinghe said as he sat down next to Chen Ran and looked at Chen Ran.

Wu Laosan looked at Chen Ran strangely after hearing this, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Although he had a good relationship with his second uncle, he still looked down on him in his heart, and naturally he didn't care about his old friend.

The other party looked at Chen Ran in a very strange way, but Chen Ran was not surprised. He just thought that when the other party looked at him, he thought of Wang Hongyu, who looked very similar to him.

"It seems that I am really similar to Mr. Yang's old friend. Whenever I see Mr. Wang again, I will ask if my surname is Wang..."

Chen Ran is now becoming more and more curious about Wang Hongyu, who looks very similar to him. First, more than one person has met him and asked him if his surname is Wang. This shows that the two of them really look alike. Second, he

Now I am increasingly suspecting that the reason Master Miao takes such good care of him is the reason why he looks so similar to Wang Hongyu.

He clearly remembered that Master Miao was startled when he saw him for the first time. Although Master Miao didn't ask him if his surname was Wang, he had never met Master Miao before. Why was Master Miao so startled when he saw him?

He was stunned. For this reason, he specifically asked his parents if they knew Master Miao, but his parents said they didn't know him. He also asked Miao Hongtao, and it turned out that Master Miao had no relationship with his family at all.

, then why did Master Miao treat him like that? Even if Master Miao had some relationship with his family, he didn't look much like his father. How could he recognize him the first time he met him?

Chen Ran had previously wondered whether Xiaoyu was the reason Master Miao treated him like that, but when Master Miao met him for the first time, he didn't know Xiaoyu, and later he asked Xiaoyu that this was not the case at all.

He also thought about whether it was Uncle Liang, but Uncle Liang never mentioned Master Miao to him, and even though Uncle Liang asked Master Miao to take care of him, Master Miao's attitude towards him went beyond the kind of "taking care of him".

"Master Miao would not have recognized him the first time he saw him..."

Investigating these reasons, since the last time he met Xiaoyu's second aunt and she asked him if his surname was Wang, he had been thinking about whether Master Miao treated him like that because he and Wang Hongyu looked alike.

"Call me Uncle Yang." Yang Xinghe first asked Chen Ran to change his words, and then asked Chen Ran: "So there are still people asking if your surname is Wang?"

Chen Ran nodded, "When I went to Yunnan, the owner of a stone carving shop met me and asked me if my surname was Wang..."

"Stone carving shop?" Yang Xinghe frowned and thought for a while, but didn't seem to think of anything.

"Uncle Yang, does he know a master named Miao? Master Miao's family is a royal chef family. He himself worked as a cook in Yuquan Mountain and later returned to the Central Plains..." Chen Ran didn't know whether Yang Xinghe knew the stone carving boss.

He didn't pay much attention. What he paid attention to was whether Yang Xinghe knew Master Miao.

"I don't know him." Yang Xinghe obviously had no impression of Master Miao at all, otherwise he wouldn't have shaken his head just thinking about it. After shaking his head, he said sadly: "I didn't get along with my old friend for a long time. At that time, he was just

A man came to live with us, and then he left after less than a year. I never saw him again after that. I have been looking for him all these years, but there has been no news."

"By the way, Master Miao also asked you if your surname is Wang?" Yang Xinghe asked immediately after finishing speaking.

"That's not true. He only asked because he took great care of me after meeting me." Chen Ran shook his head, then seemed to have seen what Yang Xinghe wanted to ask, and felt helpless.

He shook his head and smiled: "I can't contact him now, and I don't know where he has gone."

Yang Xinghe looked at Chen Ran in a daze, and then his eyes flickered as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back a smile and said, "I'm afraid my old friend's friends will take good care of you when they see you.

This is a good thing for you, but my old friend is not an ordinary person. He seemed to be living with us because someone was dealing with him. If the person who dealt with him saw you, I'm afraid you would think of other things and then...

…”

Yang Xinghe didn't say clearly what he was thinking of, but the meaning was very clear.

Chen Ran seemed frightened by Yang Xinghe's words and frowned.

"I have a little guy under me. He has trained with a boxing master for several years. How about I let him follow you?" Seeing Chen Ran frowning, Yang Xinghe took the opportunity to say.

"Uncle, how many times have I asked you about that little black guy?" Before Chen Ran could answer, Wu Laosan on the side changed his face and snorted. Originally, he was not interested in the old friend Yang Xinghe mentioned.

, but after listening to what the two said was quite interesting, he listened in unknowingly, but what he didn't expect was that just when Chen Ran and Yang Xinghe met, Yang Xinghe was about to give Xiao Hei to Chen Ran as a bodyguard.

Yang Xinghe has such a club and an auction company under his control. An industry like this requires experts to be in charge. Xiao Hei was recruited by Yang Xinghe a few years ago. His skills are very good. His second brother also fought in the army.

He is an elite soldier in the army, but he can't defeat this little black guy. Although the two of them fought without a winner, he knew that his second brother was seriously injured and his arm was disabled for half a month before it returned to normal.

.

He was in the medicine business at the time, and because he had to deal with people from all walks of life. Knowing how powerful Xiao Hei was, he tried his best to ask Xiao Hei to be his bodyguard, but every time Yang Xinghe thought that Xiao Hei was needed in the club.

Because he rejected him, he even approached Xiao Hei privately, but Xiao Hei also refused on the grounds that Yang Xinghe had saved his life, leaving him with nothing to do, but now he never thought that Chen Rangang and Yang

When Xinghe met Yang Xinghe, he gave Xiaohei to Chen Ran. How did this make him feel?

Yang Xinghe ignored Wu Laosan and just looked at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran's frown deepened. Naturally, his frown was not because he was frightened, but because of Yang Xinghe's attitude towards him and what Yang Xinghe said just now...

The last time he met Xiaoyu's second aunt, Chen Ran told Xiaoyu's second aunt that he had nothing to do with Wang Hongyu. Even if the two looked alike, it was just a coincidence. What he said was impossible for Xiaoyu's second aunt.

Not to tell Yang Xinghe.

Although Yang Xinghe's attitude towards him now is not as obvious as Master Miao's towards him, and the other party seems to have deliberately concealed this, his actions still show that the other party's attitude towards him is not ordinary.

Did he and Wang Hongyu really just happen to look alike?

Although Chen Ran didn't want to think about it, he couldn't help but think about it...

In addition, Yang Xinghe obviously knew more about Wang Hongyu than Second Aunt Xiaoyu. His words just now were obviously reminding him that if Wang Hongyu's enemies saw him, they would suspect his identity and deal with him.

Yang Xinghe said that Wang Hongyu is not an ordinary person, so he learned all his kung fu from Wang Hongyu?

Master Miao, Wang Hongyu...and now Yang Xinghe comes out.

Finally, Chen Ran suddenly remembered the murals on the giant door when he was underground. According to the scene at that time, the murals on them were all real. As long as they appeared there, they would appear in the murals. At that time, in those murals

He also saw the figure of Master Miao.

There were five people in the mural where Master Miao was. If Master Miao treated him like that because he looked similar to Wang Hongyu, then one of the five people in the mural should be Wang Hongyu, right?

It's a pity that he only saw the faces of the two people above. One of them was Master Miao, the other one didn't know who he was, and the other woman had her face covered.



Wu Laosan was very angry with a dark face. Yang Xinghe looked at Chen Ran without saying anything. Chen Ran frowned and thought about something. For a moment, the three of them fell silent, but soon their silence was replaced by the ups and downs in the auction hall.

The shouting was interrupted.



Chen Ran and Wu Laosan were talking, but the auction in the auction hall had been going on. When Chen Ran came, the auction had already been going on for a long time. At this time, it was time to die-cast.

When Chen Ran came, the auction was a painting by Zhang Daqian, then a 500-year-old wild ginseng, and then a piece of white ambergris.

Needless to say, Zhang Daqian's paintings and 500-year-old wild ginseng were auctioned for high prices, and the ambergris was placed behind these two, not to mention, especially since this piece of ambergris is white, it is not a priceless treasure.

It's too much.

It was not China that first discovered the secret that ambergris is produced from sperm whales, but China is the first country in the world where ambergris appeared.

During the Han Dynasty, fishermen caught some off-white, fragrant waxy drifts in the sea. This was the finished ambergris that had been naturally denatured for many years. It ranged from a few kilograms to dozens of kilograms. It had a strong fishy smell, but after drying

But it can emit a long-lasting aroma, and when lit, it is full of fragrance, which is more fragrant than musk.

Some local officials purchased the treasures and presented them to the emperor as treasures, which were used as spices or medicines in the palace.

At that time, no one knew what kind of treasure it was. They consulted the "chemists" and alchemists in the palace. They believed that it was the saliva of the "dragon" in the sea when it was sleeping. It dripped into the sea water and solidified. Over time, it became

"Ambergris".

Some people also say that during the Yin, Shang and Zhou dynasties, people mixed ambergris, musk and plant spices to make sachets and hang them on the bedside or on the body.

However, with the progress of the times, natural mysteries have been revealed one after another. Everyone thinks that the idea that ambergris is the saliva of a "dragon" is unscientific, so various conjectures have arisen: some people think that it is the eruption of a submarine volcano.

It is formed; some say it is caused by bird droppings floating into the water on the island and weathered for a long time; some say it is beeswax, which is formed after a long period of floating in the sea; some say it is a special kind of wax.

Fungi.

Ambergris has also aroused the interest of marine biologists. After continuous research, everyone believes that it is a huge intestinal secretion of marine animals. As for what animal secretes it, it has never been clear.

It was the fishermen of Kotla Island in Saudi Arabia who really discovered the secret of Ambergris. The people on this island mainly make a living by catching sperm whales. Ambergris is actually the excrement of sperm whales. Once, an old fisherman was cutting open it.

A piece of ambergris was found in the intestines of a sperm whale.

At that time, the fishermen thought it was swallowed from the sea and did not take it seriously. However, the news spread like wildfire and attracted the attention of marine biologists. They immediately conducted in-depth research and finally solved the problem.

The mystery of ambergris.

It turns out that giant squid and octopuses have tough horny jaws and radulas in their mouths, which are very difficult to digest. When a sperm whale swallows a large mollusk, the jaws and radulas accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, irritating the intestines, and the intestines secrete a

A special waxy substance wraps up the remains of food, slowly forming ambergris.

Scientists once found coagulation of intestinal fluid and foreign matter in the intestine of an 18-meter-long sperm whale. They believed this was the beginning of ambergris. Some sperm whales would vomit the condensation, and some would excrete it from the intestine.

Outside the body, only a small number of sperm whales retain ambergris in their bodies.

The ambergris discharged into the sea is light black at first. Under the action of sea water, it gradually turns gray, light gray, and finally white. The white ambergris is of the best quality. It has to be soaked in sea water for more than a hundred years.

Only when all the impurities are washed out can it become the top grade ambergris.

The ambergris taken from the intestines of the killed sperm whales has no value. It must float and soak in the seawater for decades to gain its high status. Some ambergris blocks are soaked in the seawater for as long as

More than a hundred years.

Since ancient times, ambergris has been expensive, almost as valuable as gold. If you pick up white ambergris, it is even more priceless.

The piece of ambergris in front of me is white. Ambergris is not only a spice, but also has great medicinal value. Therefore, this piece of ambergris was finally sold for a sky-high price of 120 million.

Although the auction house under Yang Xinghe is not large in scale, the auction hall is very luxuriously decorated. There is no need to shout out the price during the auction. There is a price increaser in front of you. If you want to increase the price, you only need to click it.

Not only will it be displayed on the big screen on the stage, but the auctioneer will also report the price when he sees it. Therefore, although there were a lot of voices in the auction hall before, no one was shouting. The only loud ones were those in front.

The auctioneer also kept saying "Didi...".

However, after the ambergris was auctioned and the last piece was auctioned, the whispers in the auction hall suddenly disappeared. After the auctioneer called the auction, the auction hall was buzzing so much that the auctioneer even quoted a price.

There was no time, and then someone stood up and suddenly shouted loudly, which caused other people to shout loudly when they increased the price.

"One hundred million!"

"One hundred and twenty million!"

"One hundred and fifty million!"

"Two hundred million..."



The heated scene suddenly attracted the attention of Chen Ran and the others.
