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

Lin Ran knew that what he wanted to do now was not money. The bronze statue in his hand only cost two to three hundred. In fact, it didn't matter even if he gave it to Kara for free.

But he must get what he wants through this Buddha statue.

For example, Kara's trust.

Lin Ran said: "Can the price be a little higher?"

Kara thought about it and realized that there was still a lot of room for profit.

So he stretched out six fingers and said: "60, it can't be higher."

Lin Ran let out a long sigh. He had long heard that the businessmen here were very shady, but he didn't expect them to be so shady.

If what you have is genuine, even if you sell it in an antique shop in China, you can still sell it for around 10 yuan.

Fortunately for him, he just cut it in half.

Then their auction house's revenue would at least triple, and since this kind of thing is particularly popular with European and American foreigners, the price will only be higher.

This is no longer a bargain, this is a bargain.

Lin Ran made a move to put the Buddha statue back into his backpack, but Kara stopped him.

Kara sneered, "You'd better figure out whose territory this is on."

Wen Ya was sweating beside him. He knew the origin of this Buddha statue and didn't understand why Lin Ran insisted on selling it at a high price. He was about to dissuade him.

But he saw Lin Ran put his hands behind his back and waved to him gently.

I have seen this action before in Mingyue Villa.

Lin Ran had his own plans.

Wen Ya had no choice but to put away his thoughts, but when he thought about the security guards with live ammunition at the door, he felt that Lin Ran was really beyond his ken's calmness. Was he not afraid of offending the snake at all?

Seeing that Lin Ran still wanted to take back the Buddha statue, Kara said in a more serious tone: "The price can't be higher. Have you thought clearly?"

Lin Ran said calmly: "Mr. Kara, don't miss the real big deal just because of the petty profit in front of you."

"Big head?"

"Yes, there are no outsiders here. I might as well tell you straight away, we still have many Chinese cultural relics in our hands, and this is just the most common one among them."

If someone else had spoken to Kara like this, Kara would have thought he was crazy.

But when he thought about the benefits that the gilded Buddha statue in his hand could bring to him, his eyes kept spinning.

After thinking for a while, he motioned for Lin Ran to continue.

When Lin Ran saw that the other party had taken the bait, he smiled secretly in his heart, but he looked very angry on the outside.

"Actually, we came here just to find a trustworthy partner in Curry Country to help us auction off all the cultural relics. But Mr. Kara, with your attitude, I think there is no need for us to cooperate."

Kara was indeed a qualified businessman, and the expression on his face changed immediately.

Smiling, he signaled Lin Ran not to be impulsive and sat back in his seat.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask how many of these cultural relics you still have?"

Lin Ran thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers.

"There are probably more."

"Have you brought them all?" Kara instantly showed an expression of ecstasy.

"No."

Good guy, are you kidding yourself?

Kara was about to have a seizure when Lin Ran said: "It's not so easy to bring out 30 items. After all, China has very strict control over this aspect. I hope you can understand."

Since I am engaged in the auction house business, I also have a little understanding of the foreign antique market.

Lin Ran was telling the truth. China had been robbed of too many cultural relics by foreigners, so the control over antiques was now very strict, and he had heard about it.

It is extremely rare for the other party to smuggle out a gilt Buddha statue.

With more than 30 cultural relics in hand, his performance in the past two years is guaranteed.

After carefully examining Lin Ran's expression, Kara felt that even if he was exaggerating, he must still have at least ten cultural relics in his hand.

So he stopped writing and said: "120 million, think of us as making friends."

Without waiting for Lin Ran's reply, he added: "This is already my bottom line, and we also want to make money."

Wen Ya was stunned when she heard this.

He finally saw what Lin Ran was capable of today. A fake gilded Buddha statue was actually purchased at an auction house in Curry Country for 12 yuan.

This is not the apprentice of the museum curator, but he is clearly an experienced businessman.

Lin Ran could tell that Kara was not joking with him, and that his goal had been achieved.

He pretended to be hesitant, but agreed anyway.

"Okay, Manager Kara, just 120 million."

Kara was actually a veteran in shopping malls. He had been observing Lin Ran's expression and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that's the price."

Kara asked about Lin Ran's international bank card account, and then made a call to operate it.

After hanging up the phone, he told Lin Ran: "The money has been transferred to your account."

"What?" Lin Ran looked at Kara. Now he didn't know if he could trust the businessman from Curry Country.

Kara said as if she was seeing a foreigner: "In China, you don't have to operate bank accounts over the phone yet, but don't worry, if you come to Curry Country more in the future, you will find that it is much better than your place."

"Haha." Lin Ran smiled and said, "How should I confirm whether the account has been received?"

"There is a bank opposite, you can check it out."

With that said, Kara also put away the Buddha statue, which was obviously his thing.

Lin Ran nodded to Wen Ya and motioned for him to check it out.

Wen Ya was worried that Lin Ran would be in danger here alone and asked to go with him.

Lin Ran said, "Haven't you seen it yet? Kara has something to say to me."

Tell them specifically that there is a bank opposite and they can check there.

In fact, they just want Wen Ya to leave so that they can conduct the next round of negotiations.

When Wen Ya heard Lin Ran's words, she felt chills in her heart.

Is this really a 20-year-old boy?

Even as a young man who grew up in a business family, he couldn't hear so many overtones at the age of 20.

Of course he was also worried, after all, it was a fake.

Until Lin Ran held his hand and said, "Go ahead and leave the rest to me."

"Okay, please pay attention to your safety." Wen Ya left the office.

The security situation in Curry Country is very chaotic, but it is basically concentrated in slums.

Xinmai Auction Company is located in a wealthy area and security is guaranteed. Lin Ran is not too worried about Wen Ya.

As he guessed, the Buddha statues were all discussed, and what Kara wanted next was the remaining items.

He handed Lin Ran a cigar. After Lin Ran politely refused, he lit it up and said, "Mr. Lin, what did you do when you were in China?"

"We are in the calligraphy and painting business."

"What about your real identity?"

"As you can see, we will buy some valuable collectibles and then look for opportunities to sell them abroad to earn the difference," Lin Ran said.
