Chapter 319 Consummate Return

Mr. Bai told Chen Ran that the six Flora cups collected by Mr. Guo were not repeated, but among the four Flora cups that Chen Ran saw, three of them were rose cups, which made him a little strange.

Chen Ran reached out to take a rose cup to see if it was real or not. As soon as he got it, he suddenly saw that there seemed to be a Huashen Cup in the door of the cupboard from the corner of his eye.

Chen Ran's heart moved, and he quickly put down the rose cup in his hand, opened the cabinet door and looked over, but he was stunned when he looked at it. Not only was there a Huashen cup in the cabinet door, but there were more than one, there were a lot of them , this pile looks roughly, there are at least ** ones.

Why so many.

Chen Ran was quite surprised, and quickly took out the Huashen Cup from the cabinet door to check it.

"Why don't you leave?"

Chen Ran was observing, but suddenly there was a voice of questioning in his ear, and it was the middle-aged man who saw Chen Ran crouching here and came over.

"This cup looks very beautiful, do you sell it?" Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Chen Ran pretended not to care. After some investigation, he finally understood why Mr. Bai said that Mr. Guo kept it. There are six Flora Cups instead of the thirteen ones in front of me.

If the thirteen flower god cups in front of me are assembled into a set, in fact, only six can be assembled, except for one pomegranate cup that is not repeated, and the others are duplicates of two or three, making a total of thirteen Chen Ran guessed that Mr. Guo may have collected thirteen of them, but he only took out six without repetition for outsiders to appreciate, and the rest were not shown. In this way, outsiders only know Mr. Guo has six in his collection instead of thirteen.

This is not impossible. After all, Mr. Guo has lived for 90 years. He must have collected more than six in his life. If he collected duplicates, the old man did not transfer them out, so he kept them for himself. .

Of course, this is just Chen Ran's guess, and there may be other reasons.

Hearing Chen Ran's words, the middle-aged man was stunned, and looked at the flower god cups on the table strangely, then looked at Chen Ran: "Do you want to buy it?"

"Yes, let's make a price..." When the middle-aged man was observing Chen Ran, Chen Ran was also observing the middle-aged man. In fact, there was no need to look at it. The cup was placed here as a tea set, obviously it was those present People don't know the goods, but his proposal to buy them may arouse the vigilance of the other party, but this can't be helped, after all, this is at Mr. Guo's house, no matter what he proposes to buy, the other party will definitely think of antiques up.

"Do you really want to buy it?" The middle-aged man asked uncertainly. After seeing Chen Ran's nod, he rolled his eyes, picked up a rose cup, and asked, "What do you think of this cup?"

"It's pretty." Chen Ran replied bluntly, but didn't say much.

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Then what price can you give?"

"25." Although the middle-aged man in front of him didn't know the goods, Chen Ran didn't dare to bid too low. If the heart is moved, then people don't want to sell it, and the cup in front of Mr. Guo must not have been seen by experts after his death. Otherwise, the experts invited by Mr. Guo's status should not be unrecognizable. Then he Now this bid will naturally attract the attention of the other party. If the price is low, people will be even less willing to sell it. We will wait to show it to experts. It will probably be more difficult to accept it at that time. It is better to give it to someone directly. Sell ​​it directly to him at a price that the other party can be tempted by, so that you can spend less money, one is 25, and there are thirteen of them, which is 320 million. If you go to auction, these thirteen cups No matter it is worth about 500 million, he has saved nearly 200 million. So far, he has collected less than half of the cups, so it is better to save some money.

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, opened his mouth in surprise, but looked back at the courtyard, but took back the words on his lips, looked at the Huashen cup on the table, looked at Chen Ran, rolled his eyes, and pretended to be calm He bent down and picked up the kettle while pouring water, and said in a low voice: "Well, if you want, you can come over later. There are too many people in this meeting, so it's inconvenient. Let's talk when there are no people at the party, how about it?"

Chen Ran was startled, then nodded calmly.

"After drinking this cup of tea, you should leave first." Seeing that Chen Ran understood what he meant, the middle-aged man calmly confessed to Chen Ran, then turned around and walked towards the courtyard .

Chen Ran picked up the tea that the middle-aged man poured for him, and turned his head to look at it calmly, but saw that after the middle-aged man walked over, an old man in his 50s asked what was going on The middle-aged man said haha ​​that Chen Ran was thirsty and wanted a glass of water. Hearing what he said, the others didn't care about Chen Ran's side.

After thinking about it, Chen Ran decided to follow what the middle-aged man told him first.

After drinking two sips of tea, Chen Ran stood up and left Guo's old house. He wandered around outside, and when he walked around to the aunt who asked for directions, he described the middle-aged man's touch to the aunt. 'So, I asked what kind of relationship this person has with Mr. Guo.

"You're talking about the old man's grandson-in-law, Lao Jiu, right? The old man also has a big business, with three sons and daughters, and a lot of grandchildren. Before he went, everyone was staring at his property. The old nine you mentioned is the grandson-in-law of the old man. His family is local. He is poor and can’t afford a house. The old man felt sorry for his granddaughter and paid for it. Before the old man went, he was busy begging for it. The old man's favor, I want the old man to give him some property, but it's not his turn, let alone him, even other people can only stare blankly, I heard that the old man donated all the property... "

The aunt obviously didn't like this old nine, and kept on burying her. The old man donated all his family property, but she was very enthusiastic.

After hearing this, Chen Ran felt a bit more confident in his mind. Hearing what this aunt said, Mr. Guo's grandson-in-law Lao Jiu is now the master of the Guo family's old house. Of course, he can't be said to be the master, it should be said As for the work, other people obviously don't bother to take care of these chores. Mr. Guo, the grandson-in-law, is the least capable, so he can only do these chores.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Ran came to a conclusion.

He didn't make Chen Ran wait any longer. Not long after he came out, all the people in the courtyard of Guo's old house came out while talking, got into the car and left together, as if they were going to eat in a restaurant.

After they left, Chen Ran came back to the door of Guo's old house and knocked on the door. With a creak, it was Lao Jiu who opened the door for him.

Lao Jiu poked his head out to look around suspiciously, and quickly let Chen Ran in.

The Huashen Cup on the small cabinet was obviously cleaned up by Lao Jiu, and the tea was also poured out, and it was neatly placed there.

"You can give me another price. 25 is definitely not enough. Since you have come here, you should know that the old man is an expert in antiques. You can fetch sky-high prices for any antiques in his collection. The price is a bit low..." After letting Chen Ran in, Lao Jiu opened the door and said.

"It's because I knew Mr. Guo's name that I didn't offer a false price. 25 is almost the same..." Chen Ran shook his head and said, with confidence in his heart, he naturally had confidence in speaking.

Before Chen Ran finished speaking, Lao Jiu shook his head and interrupted: "25 won't do, at least 80 will do."

Chen Ran was startled, you really dare to ask for it, 80, then the total will be more than 1000 million.

"80 is too much. It's impossible. I'll give you 30 at most. If it's okay, I'll find someone else at the same price..." Chen Ran shook his head directly. Now he is not afraid that the other party will not sell it to you His, obviously the other party wants to take the money for himself, so he can only sell it to him. Of course, he can't go too far... Lao Jiu stared at Chen Ran fiercely, and snorted: "You find other If you don’t want it, then don’t want it, other people will definitely not sell this tea set to you even if they don’t donate it.”

"The price you mentioned is too outrageous. Even if I ask someone to buy it, I can't afford it." Chen Ran shook his head and said, even if he got it, he wouldn't pay it back, but he couldn't buy it at this price anyway.

Lao Jiu just offered 80 yuan just to test Chen Ran. Seeing that Chen Ran's attitude was so tough, he let go, groaned and said: "60 yuan, at least 60 yuan, no less. 60, this tea set is yours."

Chen Ran shook his head almost without thinking about it, but just as he shook his head, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, this set of furniture?

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help taking a deep breath. Now he understood that the price he said was the price of a rose cup, but the old nine in front of him said the same thing, that is to say This old nine regarded the thirteen cups as a set of tea sets, and the price he offered was also based on a set.

In this case, let alone 80, it is 100 million, he is willing, after all, the total value of these thirteen cups is almost 500 million.

Chen Ran's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface he shook his head calmly: "The price is still a bit high."

"It can't be less, if it's less than 60, I won't sell it." Lao Jiu also knew that he couldn't let go, and if he let go, he might have to watch Chen Ran speak, so he strangled him to death.

"Well, let's take a step back and I'll offer 45 yuan, what do you think?" Chen Ran said with a frown in embarrassment.

Lao Jiu shook his head: "That won't work, 45 is too little." After a pause, he relaxed a little: "At least 55, if it's less than a penny, it won't be sold."

"55..." Chen Ran frowned and murmured. In order to make Lao Jiu feel that the things were worth it, he could only pretend to be embarrassed. After a long while, he nodded helplessly: "Well, that's the price, it's not worth it any more."

Hearing Chen Ran's promise, Lao Jiu nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, deal."

This result is undoubtedly a happy result for both of them. Needless to say, Lao Jiu, before the old man died, he was busy serving him, but in the end he didn't get any of the family property. Thinking of making such a windfall by accident, it can be regarded as a reward for his hard work during this period of time. After getting this property, the grievances he had accumulated against the old man during this period of time also suddenly disappeared. The smoke cleared.

For Chen Ran, he was even more delighted. Not to mention saving more than 400 million yuan, he also got thirteen Flora Cups at once.

There was a computer in Guo's old house, and Chen Ran directly transferred the account to Lao Jiu on the Internet. After the transfer, Chen Ran filled the thirteen Huashen cups.

After leaving Guo's old house, looking at the box in his hand, Chen Ran couldn't hide the joy in his heart, the expression of excitement was all written on his face.

Crazy Yang had seven, one in Nanjing, three in Hangzhou, and thirteen in Fuzhou. Except for Bai Lei, during this trip, he alone harvested 24 Flower God Cups, which can be said to be quite a harvest.

As for Bai Lei's Hanhai Auction House, there are two, and the two that Mr. Ma begged for also have four. It depends on the remaining three from the antique shop. As long as you can afford the money, you can probably get these three.

In this case, there are seven... add up to 31.

There are eight in Liushu Village, eight for himself, three for Mr. Bai, two for Mr. Lin, and Bai Lei's rose cup... Mr. Jiang will still have four.

Chen Ran suddenly found that there were nearly sixty of them, and it seemed that they were not too far away from seven sets of 84. Of course, there would definitely be repetitions... Although it was already evening when I rushed from Guling Township to Fuzhou, Chen Ran didn't stop there. He checked the flight and found that there was no direct flight from Fuzhou to Zhongdu. He simply took the bullet train to Hangzhou.

It had been so many days since he came out, and at this moment, he was so eager to go home that he didn't want to wait for a moment.

And as soon as he got on the bullet train, he received a call from Bai Lei, saying that the two Flora cups that Mr. Ma asked for had already been obtained, and the three Flora cups from the antique store also had results, and they would be settled by tomorrow morning. After he settled down, he rushed back to Zhongdu immediately, and estimated that he would arrive at noon, when he would meet Chen Ran in Zhongdu.

Chen Ran said yes.

Hanging up Bai Lei's phone, Chen Ran ordered takeaway in the car, and called Xiao Hua while eating, Chen Ran missed Xiao Hua very much, and Xiao Hua also missed Chen Ran very much, you can hear it from the tone of her voice .

After hanging up the school belle's phone, Chen Ran called home again, but was scolded by Li Yuzhi, and Chen Ran calmed down her mother by talking hard.

Just after hanging up the phone at home, before taking a sip of water, Chen Ran suddenly received a strange call that asked him to...
