Chapter 2713: Learn but not Qin Dong
Shengshi Craftsmanship played an important role in fueling the flames.
At first, everyone just thought the crafts were beautiful and fun, so they bought them home as decorations.
But over time, some smart people discovered that although the workmanship of ancient handicrafts is not as good as that of the flourishing age crafts, they can still be sold at a good price.
Some people began to engage in specialized reselling work.
The friend Ke Hui mentioned was one of them.
In fact, their vision is correct. Antique collections will develop rapidly over a long period of time. After all, there are still a large number of hidden antiques on the market that have not been unearthed.
Just like the early days of the stock market, if you are willing to invest money, you will definitely make money.
Ke Hui's friend probably made the plate too big and ended up losing all his pants.
Even buying the bottom can fail, which shows that this person has no business acumen.
These words can only be said in the heart. Lin Ran said with a smile: "Actually, in the antique business, it is quite difficult not to lose money. The more you suffer, the more experience you have. I think he should be able to afford it."
Lin Ran would not go to help others with psychological counseling when they were full, not even Ke Hui's friends.
"That's it, Brother Lin, listen to me."
Ke Hui has a friend named Qin Dong. They have been friends since childhood and hung out together.
When he grew up, he first inherited the job at home and served as the leader of the production team in the team.
In the past few years, the status of the leader of the production team was unusual.
When he was the team leader, people often came to his home to give gifts.
It was at that time that I came into contact with antiques and realized that in addition to being beautiful, antiques can also increase in value.
Later, after chatting with Ke Hui for a while, I learned about the antique world.
I want to integrate into the antique culture circle, but my cultural level is too low.
Qin Dong would often complain to Ke Hui that he did not study well at that time and did not even pass the junior high school entrance examination.
As a result, when others talk about history, they know nothing about it.
Trying to fit into the antique circle always makes people laugh.
Today is still an era when people's customs are relatively simple. Literati have a certain degree of arrogance and will not give in to others just because they have a noble status.
This incident made Qin Dong very painful. He also bought some history books and planned to read them at home and conduct research.
However, he didn't know all the Chinese characters with a primary school education, so naturally he could only give up halfway.
Fortunately, he comes from a good family and has inherited his father's job. If he can continue like this, he will have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.
But people have spiritual needs after all.
He is not like other people in the team who have to do their best due to life reasons.
If you don't have to worry about food and clothing all day long, or even do nothing, your family will be very rich.
People like him will have spiritual pursuits.
However, his cuckold friend is of good character.
He didn't become a scumbag, hooking up with girls from good families.
Instead, he thinks about how to solve his academic problems every day and wants to integrate into the antique circle.
It was just that I wasn’t really into studying, so I failed to pass the self-study exam for three years, so I chose to give up.
However, after this period of reading, he learned some ways of collecting antiques.
And in one transaction, he bought low and sold high, and made a fortune!
It happened that at this time, he was undergoing restructuring, and two options appeared in front of him.
One is to contract the land and farm it yourself to make money.
The other option is to get a breakup fee and have nothing to do with the team from now on.
Qin Dong is still a relatively pursuing person. He has long been tired of his life, so he chose the latter.
After getting the money, he put all his efforts into antiques.
He buys a large number of collections and can be seen at various domestic auctions.
Because of this relationship, he met many people in the industry.
However, the simple Qin Dong thought that he was recognized by the circle because of his knowledge. Little did he know that some of them were just for his money.
"I lost some money investing in antiques some time ago. Now he has another business in hand and wants me to take a look."
"But how do I understand?" Ke Hui stopped pretending in front of Lin Ran.
In the eyes of others, Ke Hui was from a family of antiques. If he said he didn't know anything about antiques, at least nine out of ten people would not believe him.
"How can I help with business matters?" Lin Ran smiled, "Business is all about relying on one's own ability. Interfering in other people's business will shorten your life."
"Then you helped our family, didn't you?" Ke Hui recalled Lin Ran's previous experience of going to Myanmar with them.
He even suffered life-threatening injuries abroad.
Thinking about it, Lin Ran was still a brother. Even though he encountered all kinds of things in Myanmar, at the critical moment, he still wanted him and his mother to leave first.
Just from this incident, Ke Hui already regarded him as a biological brother.
"Some things happen because of the opportunity, and it's impossible not to help." Lin Ran replied.
He didn't want to be in an advisory role.
Especially someone you don't know well at all.
"Brother Lin, don't worry, if it happens, I will give you a painting." Ke Hui said, "This is an opportunity, isn't it!"
"What painting?" Lin Ran wanted to laugh. Ke Hui obviously didn't know anything about antiques, but he still pretended to be like an expert.
"It's Ma Yuan's "Ta Ge Tu"!" Ke Hui said proudly, "Brother Lin, if I want to give you something, can it be cheaper?"
"You can rest assured that this thing was bought from someone we trust. It is definitely authentic."
"Speaking of which, I might as well ask you to help identify it when the time comes."
It turned out to be Ma Yuan's "Ta Ge Tu".
The appearance of this painting immediately appeared in Lin Ran's mind.
The outline of the mountain is clearly visible using light ink.
Ma Yuan's painting and composition are the type that Lin Ran admires very much.
If he really could get the "Ta Ge Tu", Lin Ran felt that it was not impossible to cooperate.
The most important thing is that Lin Ran thinks Qin Dong is okay.
When he got money, the first thing he thought of was not misbehaving outside. Instead, he thought of improving himself. Although he didn't succeed, he did admire his perseverance.
In addition, Ke Hui gave too much.
"Okay, but in the antique business, there is no sure thing. I can only give you advice. As for whether it can really be done, it all depends on luck. What do you think?"
"I can see it!"
The two of them laughed tacitly.
It is better to hit the sun than to hit the sun.
Ke Hui immediately drove to Qin Dong's company with Lin Ran.
Because the relationship between the two was very good, Ke Hui didn't even call him.
So Qin Dong was sitting in the office working when his assistant suddenly knocked on the door and told him that someone was coming to visit.
And before he had time to report, Ke Hui and Lin Ran appeared at the door.
