Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran drove directly to Ma Zhen's house.

Ma Zhen was sitting in the courtyard, resting Erlang's feet on the phone, as if he was talking about decoration.

"You will send someone to do the home survey this afternoon. He must be skilled."

It seemed that he wanted to discuss something with the other party, but he saw Lin Ran standing at the door of the yard.

The idea of ​​subsequent discussion was instantly canceled.

"Just do this first and I'll contact you later."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

He opened the iron gate of the yard and looked at Lin Ran with a puzzled look.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

"if not?"

"I thought you would never come back." Ma Zhen said with a smile.

The two came to the living room, and Ma Zhen immediately brought out the tea set and made tea on the spot.

By the way, we talked about things in Yamato Mountain.

"How did the investigation that I entrusted you to investigate earlier go?" Lin Ran asked.

Although the matter has been resolved, he still wants to know what Ma Zhen found out.

"No, I only know that the people you mentioned have all been exposed to the bronzes of Yamato Mountain." Ma Zhen replied while making tea, "I originally wanted to go in to investigate, but I happened to meet Xu Sheng who was kicked out , we canceled the plan and took him back.”

Xu Sheng was the Jie tribe boy they met before.

"You really like to take in people." Lin Ran thought about taking in Xuanwu before, and Ma Zhen didn't seem to be afraid of being plotted by others.

"It doesn't matter, I don't usually live there anyway." Ma Zhen said with a smile.

Lin Ran stopped asking. Ma Zhen did whatever he wanted.

So I explained to him clearly the situation I encountered in Yamato Mountain.

Ma Zhen even forgot to drink tea and kept listening.

"I didn't expect that Yamato Mountain could hide so many secrets." His face was filled with disbelief.

"Yes." Lin Ran also sighed.

After all, this land has a long history, and people have lived in every place.

Wherever there are people, traces of life will be left.

Ancient tombs, ruins, and even bones are proof that they once lived.

The two of them were drinking tea and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Ma Zhen said: "This matter should have come to an end."

"Yeah." Lin Ran thought that if there was a problem, Chen Yu would contact him immediately.

At least there has been no news for the past two days, so the situation should have been stabilized.

"It's a pity that Mount Yamato will still be bombed."

Looking at it this way, there may be more secrets in Yamato Mountain that have not been discovered, but we cannot control the disasters he may cause, so we can only reluctantly give up.

He closed his eyes and seemed a little sad.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

But this time he changed the subject.

"By the way, are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Ran asked.

"Do you still remember that I asked you to participate in the treasure fighting party before?"

It was during that treasure fighting meeting that Lin Ran met Chen Cheng, so it was naturally still fresh in his memory.

However, I don't understand why Ma Zhen mentioned this.

"The reason we held the Treasure Fighting Party was actually to make way for our auction house. Now the auction house has completed preparations and will open tomorrow."

"Really?" After finally hearing the good news, Lin Ran smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

"What's so exciting? Aren't you afraid that we will compete with you?" Ma Zhen said with a smile.

After all, Lin Ran also owns an auction house, and from all perspectives, they are competitors.

"With competition, there will be development." Lin Ran smiled.

Regarding competition, Lin Ran's answer was very positive.

Unlike other businessmen, he felt that monopolizing the market was a good thing.

Not just because the auction house is not wholly owned by him.

Rather, he remains positive about competition.

This is not a capital country, and competition is the norm in the market.

Only through competition can the market be expanded.

It is unrealistic for one person to make the cake bigger.

At the same time, competition can stimulate the potential of both parties and promote each other's progress.

"Ma Zhen, I believe that both of our auction houses have their own characteristics and advantages. Competition will only allow us to complement each other and provide services and product experience."

Lin Ran smiled.

Ma Zhen nodded in agreement.

"You can't tell. Brother Lin is young and already has this understanding of competition."

It took him most of his life to figure this out. In the past, he used to do everything possible to deal with his competitors, trying to force them out of the field so that he could occupy a larger share.

But gradually I discovered that losing competition is not necessarily a good thing.

Although it has established a reputation in the industry, the number of customers has not grown.

Until a competitor appeared later, the boy who was not afraid of death, but he just didn't believe what others said and thought Ma Zhen would mess with him.

At that time, some membership systems were also launched. It was precisely because the new system he launched made Ma Zhen find it interesting, so he kept it.

It turned out that this trick was learned in their own store and brought them more profits.

At the same time, the other party was also very particular about his product selection, which he had never thought of before.

After going back and forth, Ma Zhen actually saw in the other party what he had lost, vitality and courage not to be afraid of death.

After that, he gave up the idea of ​​killing the opponent directly and encouraged his subordinates to compete in a healthy way.

Their business grew bigger and bigger, until Ma Zhen gradually got tired of his life, changed his name, and re-entered society with a new identity.

That company now only provides him with money and has nothing to do with him anymore.

But when he was young, Ma Zhen would never think like this.

Hearing Lin Ran's understanding of competition, Ma Zhen also nodded slightly.

"Okay, then I hope we can have healthy competition and respect each other."

"must."

Lin Ran and the two of them drank tea instead of wine.

"Actually, I have another thing to ask you for."

"Brother Ma, just say it." Lin Ran put down the cup.

"Tomorrow is the day of the auction company's inauguration and operations. I thought of you to support me," Ma Zhen said.

Lin Ran laughed: "Brother Ma, with your connections, do you still need me to appear?"

Thinking about it carefully, Ma Zhen knew all the big shots. Although he was said to be the boss of Shengshi Craftsmanship, he rarely showed his face.

In the eyes of others, he is at best the 'Little Master Lin'. His identities as the Ministry of Culture, Culture, and the Museum are all hidden, and it is impossible for him to publicize this to the outside world.

"Brother Lin, you are too humble. I think there is no one in the industry who can compete with you except those old antiques." Ma Zhen said.

What he said was very serious. With his character, he would never flatter anyone.

It didn't take long for his attitude towards himself to change 180 degrees.

"What do you mean? Are you free tomorrow?"
