Chapter 330 Getting Shot While Lying

"Chen Ran, let me tell you why you are so slow, I have been waiting for you for more than half an hour."

After returning to Zhongdu from Shaolin Temple, Chen Ran sent Cao Huiyao's mother and daughter back to Cao's house. When he arrived at Cao's house, he did not expect that Cao Guoxiong was also at home. Cao Guoxiong was also very happy to see Chen Ran, so he left Chen Ran to eat. After dinner, I heard that Chen Ran took Cao Huiyao and his wife to Shaolin Temple today, and he was quite satisfied. He said that when Chen Ran was free, he would take them out to relax. Obviously, it was the reason why Cao Huiyao and his wife rarely went out before. , During the meal, I talked about the little girl who wanted Chen Ran to be a great monk in Shaolin Temple, but found out that she would not want her after she became a great monk. It made everyone laugh, and the little girl was laughed at. She was quite angry, pouted, stopped eating, and hid in the room, but it was Chen Ran who carried her out.

When Chen Ran returned to the apartment, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. He checked it and found that there were 76 Huashen cups in his hand, including the five from Mr. Bai's, which made 81 cups.

Flower god cups are rare. Although lotus cups in June and rose cups in November are more common, Chen Ran did not collect these two cups separately, so his 81 cups have not been repeated. In this case, it is equivalent to Yes, there are still three. These three are a hibiscus cup, a narcissus cup, and a plum blossom cup.

After getting the idea, Chen Ran called old man Bai and asked how the two broken osmanthus cups and pomegranate cups were repaired. It was just right. When he received his call, old man Bai The one who is repairing the last step, that is, the one who is doing the final cleaning, can let him see the complete porcelain after repair tomorrow.

After getting this answer, Chen Ran was naturally very happy. He didn't hang up the phone, and instead discussed the specific auction matters with the old man. After the negotiation, he finally decided to hand over the auction rights to Dingsheng Company. Handed it over directly to Bai Lao.

Although Chen Ran has a classmate in Dingsheng, if he wants to auction off a complete set of Huashen Cup, he must directly contact the senior management of Dingsheng Company. Although Jiang Tao can also contact the senior management, his status is not as good. Undoubtedly, he was weaker in the invisible, and the result of contacting a heavyweight like Bai Lao was naturally different. As for Chen Ran, although he also had some fame, but after all, he had never been in contact with him before. People of the older generation are also incomparable. Now asking Mr. Bai to contact him is tantamount to letting Mr. Bai take charge of the situation. It just so happens that Mr. Bai is also very enthusiastic about this matter.

After agreeing to meet at nine o'clock tomorrow, I hung up the phone.

At almost nine o'clock the next morning, Chen Ran rushed to Bailao's Mingxiang Pavilion, and saw Bai Lei waiting here at the door. Bai Lei had obviously been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Chen Ran, he pulled Live in Chen Ran and go inside.

"What's the rush, isn't it before nine o'clock?" Chen Ran shook off his hand angrily, but he watched the time pass, and the appointment with Bai Lao was at nine o'clock, and now it's still close to nine o'clock It took half an hour.

"Dizzy, why am I in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, the old man has been urging..." Bai Lei shook his head with a smile. He was in a hurry at first, but when he saw Chen Ran not in a hurry, he So he pretended not to be in a hurry, Chen Ran was not in a hurry, he seemed so in a hurry, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

"Xiao Ran, you're finally here, haha." As soon as the two of them walked into the corridor of Mingxiang Pavilion, Bai Lao's figure appeared at the door of the box.

"Bai Lao, wait a minute." Chen Ran greeted Bai Lao with a smile.

Hearing Chen Ran's words, Bai Lao laughed: "I'm not the only one waiting in a hurry." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Ran into the box.

"This is Teacher Chen, right? Teacher Chen, I've heard of you for a long time..." As soon as he entered the box, a middle-aged fat man with a big belly warmly greeted him.

Looking around, besides the fat man, there were two unfamiliar faces in the box, one of them was a pretty woman who should be the secretary, and there was an old man in his 50s.

After a while of introductions, Chen Ran also knew that the middle-aged fat man in front of him was the vice president of Dingsheng Auction House. His surname was Luo. Needless to say, the woman was also the secretary. The rest of the old man was the appraisal expert brought by Vice President Luo. Well, deputy Luo is always called by old man Bai, knowing that old man Bai specializes in porcelain, so the experts he brings are also experts in porcelain.

"Okay, let's look at things first, I want to see what is so amazing that Lao Bai said..."

Seeing Chen Ran, Vice President Luo pulled Chen Ran to exchange warm greetings. Although the young man in front of him was young, he was quite famous. Not to mention the eight-knife split-wave carving method that had been lost for thousands of years, it was just the other party's A few leaks are enough to move him. Although he can't compare with those famous collectors of the older generation for the time being, he is better than a young man. One can imagine that after a few years, his reputation will definitely not be weaker than those old collectors. Guys, now that the other party is still young, it is natural to try to win them over. You must know that those who work in the auction house rely on famous collectors to make a living, even though the things auctioned by the auction house these days are all The rich merchants took the auction, but most of the photos taken by the wealthy merchants were arty. Since it is arty, it naturally depends on the words of the famous collectors, so the general auction house will maintain a relationship with the famous collectors in the industry. friendly relationship.

When Vice President Luo saw Chen Ran, he started chatting non-stop, but it aroused the dissatisfaction of Master Peng, who was also the expert brought by Vice President Luo.

Master Peng is also a well-known porcelain player, and he is also familiar with Bai Lao. When Chen Ran didn't come, Bai Lao kept telling him that he would be surprised when he saw him.

Mr. Bai's words, Master Peng naturally didn't believe it. As the chief expert of Dingsheng Auction House, he had a lot of good things. Porcelain was the most auctioned item in Dingsheng Auction House. Which piece of porcelain was not handled by him? He has eaten pork but has never seen a pig running. He thinks he is well-informed. If he said it would surprise him, he would still believe it, but he didn't really believe what Bai Lao said was so exaggerated.

Of course, although he didn't believe it, he still held some expectations in his heart, and now he was naturally eager to see things, but he was a little dissatisfied with Vice President Luo pulling Chen Ran to chat non-stop. There is a reason, that is, seeing Vice President Luo being so enthusiastic about Chen Ran made him displeased. It was not because he was afraid that Chen Ran would steal his job, but mainly because Chen Ran had such a big name at such a young age. Head, he was naturally a little upset.

Chen Ran was also shot while lying down.

Although Vice President Luo is the vice president of the auction house, he still has to respect experts like Master Peng. When he heard Master Peng say this, he was not angry. He laughed and said yes, and let Chen Ran get away. .

"Xiaoran, take out the things and let him see..."

Bai Lao smiled and greeted Chen Ran, but he was not even used to greet him. As soon as Chen Ran put the box he brought on the table, Master Peng couldn't wait to pull the long box over.

"This... this is Kangxi's cup, so many!"

After opening the box, Master Peng, who was originally sitting on the purple trembling wooden chair, stood up abruptly and looked at the pile of cups in the box in disbelief. Although he didn't really believe Mr. Bai's words, since Mr. Bai Having said that, he was still mentally prepared, but in the end... If he only saw one or two Flora cups, or even three or four, he wouldn't be so surprised, but so many, he was surprised Endless.

We must know that Kangxi cups are rare, and collecting Huashen cups often takes decades to collect, and the collection takes such a long time, let alone the time spent, the key is the emotion invested, I am afraid no one will take it out for auction Yes, unless you get one or two by chance, which is why there are only one or two Huashen cups at the auction each time.

In fact, there are not many Flora cups in front of them.

Of course, there are not many here, but it is relatively speaking. Compared with the cups collected by Chen Ran, there are not many cups. Chen Ran did not bring all the cups, but only brought eight.

Master Peng saw only eight of them, but eight were enough to move him. Master Peng himself did not collect the Huashen Cup, so he was not in the old Bai circle. Naturally, he did not know that Master Yanwang of Shaolin Temple collected it. There are eleven Flora cups.

The ten pieces collected in the Palace Museum are known as national treasures. There are eight pieces in private hands. Although there are two short, they are also the No.1 collection of Flora cups. It is also a kind of identity to pass them on. It's a symbol, and if you say it, it will save face a lot.

Vice President Luo was also very surprised, and said a little excitedly: "This is the first time I have seen so many Kangxi cups."

The Dingsheng Auction House once auctioned a pair of cups from the Kangxi Dynasty. He clearly remembered the excitement at the time of the auction. If it weren't for the value of the cups, it would have been possible to bid a sky-high price. Now With so many cups put up for auction, he could already imagine the excitement of the scene.

"Old Peng, don't you be surprised, haha, look at these cups..." When Master Peng was still surprised, Bai Lei gave Bai Lei a wink, Bai Lei smiled, turned around and did the same Taking out a box, Bai Lao took it and laughed and put the box on the table.

"There are still!"

Seeing the four cups in the box opened by Mr. Bai, Master Peng's eyes widened in disbelief. This shock made him unable to turn his head. Although he saw so many cups, Didn't realize the mugs came as a set though.

Of course, it’s not all because he couldn’t turn the corner. The main reason is that he didn’t think about it at all. After all, as we all know, the Flower God Cup in the Kangxi Dynasty couldn’t make a set at all. There was a set once.

Bai Lao saw that he didn't realize it, so he pretended not to remind him.

Chen Ran and Bai Lei wouldn't remind them.

"Old Bai, although I am surprised that you got so many Kangxi cups, it's not as exaggerated as you said, right? But I'm still curious where you got so many Kangxi cups... huh? "

Seeing so many cups, although Master Peng was terribly surprised, he still couldn't help but taunt Bai Lao, but before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Vice President Luo's suspicious voice: " Why are there twelve cups?"
