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

When Lin Ran was struggling with how to deal with this matter, Zhang Fengyu smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problem with me here."

Lin Ran felt relieved after Zhang Fengyu gave him a guarantee, especially after knowing that Zhang Fengyu had inextricable connections with the local warlords. He said that there was no problem and basically nothing would happen.

There were still five stones that had not been opened. Zhang Fengyu glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time to prepare for the auction."

Lin Ran also raised his watch and looked at it. It was already 11:30. At twelve o'clock, he was going to sign and prepare to enter.

After saying hello to Chen Li, Lin Ran and Zhang Fengyu went to the auction venue together. In fact, they were just going to sign in and get a number plate to participate in the afternoon auction. During this period, they could move freely around the venue. This time Must enter the auction venue before one o'clock.

Zhang Fengyu's men were going through the formalities at the counter. Lin Ran saw that there were three rows of storage racks next to the counter.

"When entering the auction venue, you not only have to be searched, but you are also not allowed to bring any electronic devices in." Zhang Fengyu explained when he saw Lin Ran's curiosity, "If we want to enter the auction venue in the afternoon, we have to give away our watches and gold and silver jewelry. Take it off and put it in here.”

"Why?" Lin Ran was a little confused. Could it be that he was afraid of being transferred?

It's understandable when it comes to electronic devices. Lin Ran had seen them using mobile phones at Ur's place before. If he suddenly remembered this music in the venue, it would definitely disrupt the order, but jewelry was not allowed to be brought in, which felt very problematic. .

Zhang Fengyu actually guessed the same as Lin Ran. He didn't quite understand that they were not allowed to bring jewelry into the auction.

His men completed the procedures quickly and got back three number plates, which were numbers 48 to 50. This meant that in addition to Zhang Fengyu and Lin Ran, there would be another person entering with them, but specifically Lin Ran didn't ask any more questions, he just had to do his best.

After completing the formalities, Zhang Fengyu smiled and said: "Brother Lin, let's go have a meal now."

"Yeah." Lin Ran nodded, and the two of them went to a nearby hotel-style restaurant. The main venue of the business was near the city center. The buildings here were relatively high-end. They entered a restaurant.

Lin Ran picked up the menu on the dining table and took a look, but didn't see the things Wu Er had eaten before.

"Brother Lin, is there anything you want to eat? Just order whatever you want." Zhang Fengyu said boldly.

"No need." Lin Ran smiled, but still explained that he just wanted to see if those wild animals were the main food here.

"Hahaha, how is that possible?" Zhang Fengyu said with a smile, "Although tigers are not a protected animal in Myanmar, wild tigers are not so easy to catch, and if you want to make money by raising tigers in captivity, the investment will be astronomical. .”

"Then why does Ur seem to be so popular there?" Lin Ran didn't know much about Myanmar, and his curiosity prompted him to ask why.

"His place is close to Zebei District, which is where he guesses the family belongs. The geographical environment there is complex and there are wild dense forests everywhere. The number of tigers will naturally be larger, so the ingredients there should be transported across regions. .”

"The reason why your food is more expensive is because there is an extra fee for inter-regional transportation, so you feel that the consumption here is much higher than in China. That's because the people here are so dark and flies fly by. I have to pull out a wing." Zhang Fengyu's words were full of dissatisfaction with Myanmar, as if he had also been a victim.

Lin Ranfa found it even more interesting and asked: "But as far as I know, the salary level here should be similar to that in China, or even lower, right?"

"It's different. As you can see here, they are basically rural areas. Only a few areas can be called cities. Most of them only buy drinks, candies and the like during the holidays. , I usually don’t buy anything outside at all, I basically make it on my own.”

"Hey, but having said that, it was actually the same in China in the past few years. It has developed quite fast in the past two years." Zhang Fengyu recalled.

The reason why he forgot about this matter was because even in the most difficult time before, he still enjoyed certain privileges. He had never gone hungry, nor had he looked at other people's faces.

It wasn't until he adopted Zhang Qiang that he realized there were so many sufferings among the people.

It's not just in books, it's also in reality.

It's just that Zhang Fengyu himself is the beneficiary, and he is relatively free and easy in dealing with others, and rarely mentions this matter.

He also discovered that when he was communicating with Lin Ran, he felt like he was communicating with his peers.

"That's it." Lin Ran nodded, and after listening to Zhang Fengyu's explanation, he realized that he had also fallen into a strange thinking circle.

But it's no wonder, first of all, he has never been here. In fact, there are very few scenes about the life of civilians abroad in books and TV. They are either beautified into heaven or ugly into hell.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know that every place has its own rules of survival.

Like Zhang Fengyu, there were only a few people who could go abroad casually in the 80s.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your advice." Lin Ran picked up the cup and replaced the wine with tea.They had to attend the auction in the afternoon, so they didn't order wine.

"No, Brother Lin, I see you. You are also a well-informed person, but you have never been to Myanmar."

Zhang Fengyu didn't know which countries Lin Ran had been to. He was not as good at identifying rough stones as Lin Ran, but his ability to judge people was not low.

At Lin Ran's age, he doesn't feel unfamiliar at all when he comes to a foreign country. He must have been to other areas.

After the two of them finished drinking tea, Zhang Fengyu brought the topic back to gambling on stones.

There were only two of them eating, and everyone else was at another table, just to give them space to talk.

"What do you think of the public offering?" Zhang Fengyu asked.

"After a rough stroll, I think it's about the same, but the quality of the wool here is much better than that in China." Lin Ran smiled, "We just picked randomly in the morning and found two pieces of ice. There should be a lot of ice in them." Very high quality jadeite.”

Speaking of this, Lin Ran noticed that Zhang Fengyu showed an expression that was half-smiling, and he looked at Zhang Fengyu with some confusion.

Zhang Fengyu was still listening to Lin Ran's words. When he saw him pause, he smiled and said, "That's right. After all, this is the place of origin. The jadeite rough stones you usually see in stone gambling centers have been selected by others." Those who pass round after round can be called the best."
