Chapter 1979: Ma Zhen’s invitation and visitors from afar
After finishing the matter, Lin Ran drove back to his home.
Lying on the bed, I suddenly felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Another big problem was solved.
To be honest, Lin Ran was actually a little tired.
There were too many things that he needed to deal with, and he needed to sort out his thoughts.
Six months later, the Yingguo auction will begin. Now that I have the approval of the two families, I can get sponsorship money from them.
The other thing is the Kirin Club and the Treasure Hunt Club.
We can only take one step at a time here.
He briefly listed his plans, and his ideas became clear.
Early the next morning, he went to the department store.
I'm going to buy something today.
Ye Zi had already agreed to hand over the cultural relics to them for restoration. Of course, there were some selfish motives. Lin Ran collected these fragments in the name of the Forbidden City Museum.
It should be delivered to the museum today.
But he must guide them to repair it.
It is difficult to sell restored cultural relics at a good price in the market, and passive repurchase will affect the value to some extent.
Museums don't have to worry about this. Their exhibitions are originally for public benefit and they only want to preserve the original appearance of history.
Lin Ran's restoration method is different from that of the museum's cultural relic restoration department.
Moreover, Tang Lanxuan also handed over the leading restoration work to Lin Ran, so he naturally went to the department store to buy some things.
Restoring porcelain requires considerable tools.
Not all of them could be found in department stores. He had to go to the hardware store and buy some adhesives and airbrushes.
As for other professional tools, without the Internet now, it is impossible to customize them online.
Fortunately, there are corresponding props in the factory.
Lin Ran only needed to find an excuse to transfer the fragments to the factory, and then he could repair them himself.
Having made up his mind, he started working early in the morning.
After Lin Wanjun opened up the sales, she also went to the store early in the morning.
Let’s clear out all the inventory first and then proceed with the next expansion plan.
After seeing her younger brother's ability, Lin Wanjun planned to have a good talk with Lin Ran when planning.
During this period of time, Lin Ran could not go to other places for archeology.
But it's okay, he can finally enjoy himself at home for a while. In a year and a half, he almost traveled all over the country.
Carrying large and small bags of things, Lin Ran did not go directly to the museum, but sat in the office of the handicraft store.
"Godfather, why did you buy these things?" Yang Jianlong saw the tools all over the office and was confused.
But he is no longer a fool now, and he can tell at a glance that these tools are used in porcelain repair.
"Is my godfather going to cheat foreigners again?"
"Forget it." There has been no news about underground auctions recently, and Lin Ran doesn't have time to forge cultural relics.
He told Yang Jianlong what Ye Zi had entrusted him with.
"Miss Ye Zi?" Yang Jianlong's eyes lit up, "She is coming to the capital too?"
"I should come here to stay for a while." Lin Ran knew that Ye Zi would definitely not give away the fragments that were finally recovered to others in vain, and he would definitely keep an eye on them, otherwise he would not be able to communicate with the Ministry of Chinese Culture.
She should arrive today, but the Palace Museum is responsible for hosting her, so I won't mess with it.
He will be busy in the next few days.
Lin Ran leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to relax. At this moment, the phone rang.
He picked up the phone and it was Ma Zhen calling.
Ma Zhen didn't understand the meaning of politeness at all, so he went directly to the topic.
"Brother Lin, we have built a new small museum in Liuyunbao City. Tomorrow is the first show. Come and support us."
Lin Ran was startled: "Museum?"
"Yeah, after all, Liuyunbao City can't compare to Panjiayuan with as many old-brand stores. In order to attract tourists, we have to come up with new ideas."
This guy is really a marketing genius.
Some time ago, Liuyunbao City attracted all antique lovers from Dongcheng District by holding a treasure fighting event.
Now I'm thinking of setting up a small museum.
Not everyone can build a museum if they want to, and it is not easy to get approval.
Therefore, he most likely established it in the name of a store, which is just a non-profit store.
Now that he was invited over again, Lin Ran even doubted whether he had arranged everything.
Lin Ran asked cautiously: "Do you want me to prepare anything?"
"No, just come over if you can." Ma Zhen said softly, "By the way, there are also some exhibits that I have brought over. I thought you might be interested, so I invited you over."
After confirming again that nothing would happen without him, Lin Ran readily agreed to his request.
Visiting museums has always been his hobby.
Just after hanging up the phone, the phone rang again.
Lin Ran thought Ma Zhen had something to explain, but found out that it was actually Ye Zi calling.
"Lin Ran, I have arrived at the Palace Museum. Where are you?"
"I'm not a museum staff member." Lin Ran replied with a wry smile.
"Come here quickly! Director Tang said he would treat us to dinner tonight."
It seemed that Ye Zi was really going to stay in the capital for a while.
Hope she won't get herself into trouble.
No, I should try to stay away from her.
Lin Ran warned himself in his heart that beauty brings disaster.
After loading all the tools and materials, Lin Ran drove to the museum and found Ye Zi and Tang Lanxuan waiting for him in the office.
Seeing Lin Ran, Ye Zi immediately came up to him: "Lin Ran, you are really a busy man. You didn't even say a word to me after finishing the matter and went back to the capital."
At that time, after the incident at the stone gambling den, Feng Tuo and his men came in an aggressive manner, but they met head-on with the men brought by Yang Guozhi.
After the conflict between the two parties, Lin Ran was taken back for investigation.
The fact that Feng Tuo hired a murderer was also exposed. The Feng family immediately drew a clear line with him and expelled him from the house. At the same time, they paid a large amount of compensation to the truck driver.
Next, Zhang Fengyu's people took over the jewelry market in Qi Province.
Ye Zi had many things to assist in the investigation, so Lin Ran did not disturb her. After Yang Jianlong was discharged from the hospital, he drove him back to the capital.
Tang Lanxuan had heard this story before, but when he heard Ye Zi mention it again, he realized that Lin Ran had hidden many details.
Lin Ran's level has far surpassed him.
At least he didn't have any experience in betting on stones.
Really terrifying.
"Miss Ye Zi, why don't we change places to eat and chat." Tang Lanxuan saw Lin Ran's embarrassed look and quickly interrupted Ye Zi's intimate behavior.
cough.
My own apprentice really has a connection with treasures no matter where he is.
Not just curios.
