Lin Ran suddenly understood what had happened, because this man named Zheng Xuan was the owner of another auction house in the capital.

There used to be three well-known auction houses in the capital, but two of them have gone bankrupt.

The rest is Huiyao Auction House, which is Zheng Xuan's property.

No wonder Chen Yiming, as an ordinary bookstore owner, can collect a large number of porcelain. It seems that his son-in-law has put in a lot of effort.

Of course, because Lin Ran was not very involved in business matters, he didn't know much about the relationship behind Zheng Xuan.

Hearing Ma Zhen's words, he also looked a little solemn.

"Brother Ma, are you sure Chen Yiming is Zheng Xuan's father-in-law?" Lin Ran asked.

Ma Zhen nodded, "Yes, I have met their family at the auction before. Zheng Xuan's wife calls Chen Yiming daddy."

Like him being idle all day long and hanging out at auctions all day long.

It was considered well-informed, and I even met their family at the auction.

If Chen Yiming's daughter is married to Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan is the boss of Huiyao Auction House.

When Liu Jinhai heard the news, his face became even more ugly.

He had no idea about this.

In the business world, there is always a saying.

It means no treachery and no business.

As the saying goes, the shopping mall is like a battlefield. As long as it can defeat the opponent, any method is worthwhile.

He is a newcomer in the auction world.

But in the mall, he is already an old fox.

Liu Jinhai took a deep breath and realized that he had been fooled.

As a newly established auction company, it will naturally be squeezed out by competitors in the industry. Not all competitors are like Lin Ran and welcome others to work together to make the cake bigger.

Especially Ma Zhen, although he doesn't show much publicity.

However, the Splendid Fund established in his name is a relatively well-known investment institution in China and is a Hong Kong-funded capital.

Zulong Auction House, another company established by Tianqi Fund, has gradually stolen their limelight.

With the establishment of a new auction house, Na Huiyao couldn't help but feel tremendous pressure.

Therefore, in this incident, it is very likely that they were deliberately causing trouble.

Liu Jinhai took a breath and looked at Lin Ran: "Master Lin, are you absolutely sure that this is a fine imitation?"

"You're not even sure." Ma Zhen said. He had never seen anything wrong with Lin Ran's appraisal. He said it was an imitation, so it couldn't be a treasure.

In fact, they were very excited just now because they heard that the starting price of this enamel piece was over 5 yuan.

As a result, over and over again, it turned into a worthless imitation.

The ups and downs during this period made him unable to react for a while.

Liu Jinhai hurriedly explained: "No, if you are just talking about the painter's skills, it is probably the problem of the painter himself."

It was completely unreasonable, and Lin Ran didn't even bother to explain it to him.

Seeing that Ma Zhen was about to get angry again, Liu Jinhai quickly said: "Boss Ma, if I want to return the things, I must find a good reason. Otherwise, if he uses this reason to reject me, what should I do?"

"The other party also has a certain status in the antique circle. If he talks nonsense in the circle, our auction house will have a difficult life in the future."

Liu Jinhai looked embarrassed.

This is true. If you just return something without providing sufficient evidence for identification, you may indeed be criticized and thought that they cannot afford the price.

And there is one more thing right in front of you.

Now is the opening ceremony, and it will be open for tours soon.

If the products in the largest glass display cabinet in front of you are empty, it is likely to arouse others' suspicion.

For many reasons, Liu Jinhai wanted to keep the porcelain first.

We'll make a decision after today's opening ceremony.

Although it is not a thorough consideration, his ideas also have certain reference value.

It's just locked in a glass cabinet for display, and no one else can touch it.

Moreover, it is a fine imitation, so the probability of being recognized is very low.

Ma Zhen refused without thinking, and sneered: "You are too naive."

"What should I say?" Although he was a little afraid of Ma Zhen, he was still a wealthy businessman in the capital. He was always suppressed by Ma Zhen's domineering attitude, and he also felt unhappy.

After all, he was looking at the issue from the perspective of the auction house. Ma Zhen did choose to destroy the things directly.

It’s okay for such an impulsive shareholder to not cooperate.

"Reporters will come over for interviews soon. If, as we just speculated, Zheng Xuan deliberately found someone to mess with us, do you think he will arrange for someone to mix in with the reporters and expose him in public?"

It can only be said that the port cities of this era were the real business wars. In comparison, the businessmen in the mainland seemed too simple.

Liu Jinhai didn't think about it from this angle at all, but when he said this, he instantly felt chills running down his spine.

Ma Zhen's words shocked Liu Jinhai, and he began to realize that his previous considerations did not consider all possibilities.

He recalled the previous conversation. On the surface, Chen Yiming seemed a little impatient with his visit, but he still saw him every time and mentioned this enamel collection.

If you think about it carefully, he was completely guiding himself, telling him that this enamel was very valuable.

"Brother Ma is right," Lin Ran said, "You should really be careful of competitors coming to cause trouble."

Liu Jinhai realized that he was too naive. Not only did he not consider the entire situation, he did not even understand the family relationship of the most important competitor. He actually asked Zheng Xuan's father-in-law to release the treasure for auction.

Liu Jinhai's voice was a little deep, and he felt that he was a little naive and naive in business.

"If Zheng Xuan is really deliberately looking for someone to mess with us, then he may find ways to expose our flaws and cause losses and trouble to our auction house."

Liu Jinhai took a deep breath and changed his previous thoughts.

They really can't take the risk.

"I understand, please remove the imitations from display now," Liu Jinhai said.

Ma Zhen nodded, and then asked: "What else did you get from Chen Yiming?"

He expressed doubts about Chen Yiming's products.

"No more, just this one." Liu Jinhai said.

He originally believed that rare things are valuable, but he was fooled by a product out of nowhere.

"Okay, Liu Jinhai, I'll leave the handling of this product to you." Ma Zhen then said, "Don't think I'm targeting you. In this business, you must act cautiously. Our competitors are always watching us. , if the weakness is exposed, they will be dragged into the water immediately."

Ma Zhen's attitude also softened slightly. After all, Liu Jinhai was his partner. If the two of them had a falling out now, wouldn't they be playing into their own hands?
