Chapter 1724: Mutual calculations
"No, no, no, no, you prepared a big red envelope, but I can't afford to pay it back. I wish you could come over then."
The two people talked and laughed, drove to the Atlantic Shopping Plaza, and put Jiang Chaobo down.
When Jiang Chaobo was about to leave, he suddenly turned back to Lin Ran and said, "By the way, see you at Juxing Tower at ten o'clock next Wednesday."
"Okay, I'll definitely be there." Lin Ran nodded at him, then started the engine again and headed for the auction house.
Although Boss Meng was greedy for petty gains, the contract they signed earlier was still fulfilled.
Everything was sent to the auction house, where the staff of the auction house were appraising the items one by one.
But their evaluation of this batch is quite low.
"These things add up to only 5 yuan. 15 yuan is really too much." The foreman told Wu Ning the final evaluation result.
Wu Ning pinched his hair and knew that this batch of goods was not valuable. If it weren't for Lin Ran's face, he would not accept these things at all.
Originally they were doing a good deed, but who knew that they would be tricked by Boss Meng in the end.
15 yuan was exchanged for a batch of garbage wood.
He was a little confused and didn't know how to initially price the goods.
If the setting is too high, no one will take pictures.
If the price is set too low, even if it is auctioned, they will suffer a big loss.
What a hot potato.
At this moment, the girl at the front desk called out: "Hello, Mr. Lin."
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Ran smiled awkwardly, he didn't usually come to the auction house, how could they know him?
As a result, good guy, I turned around and saw that his portrait was still hanging on the wall of the auction house, hanging with a group of scientists.
It says that he is the youngest treasure appraisal expert in the capital.
He said to Wu Ning: "Your idea is very good, but you'd better give him up quickly."
"Actually, this is not my idea, it's Liu Jiajia who wants to do this." Wu Ning also felt that it was a bit too ostentatious. Lin Ran had always been a very low-key image in his mind, and it was indeed a bit too ostentatious to do such a thing.
He immediately arranged for the staff to take down the portrait, leaving an empty space on the wall, and finally hung it back up as a last resort.
"Hurry up and find a way to replace it, you know?" Lin Ran really didn't expect that he would become famous in this way.
"Mr. Lin, you came just in time. We have a problem now." Wu Ning did not continue to struggle with him on this issue. He now encountered a business problem and urgently needed Lin Ran's reply.
He told Lin Ran the whole story. The problem now was that the deposit was too high and their goods did not meet the deposit standards.
I originally thought that Lin Ran would be angry, and then went to Manager Meng to explain the matter clearly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ran just smiled slightly: "It's not worth the price. It doesn't matter, just give him the initial price according to the price in the contract."
"Ah? But if the price is so high, the auction will definitely fail." Wu Ning thought that Lin Ran had forgotten the auction process, so he reminded him.
"I want him to fail the auction." Lin Ran said, "If the auction fails, it's not that we failed to fulfill the agreement, but that Boss Meng's goods are not up to standard. We can also ask him to compensate us for our losses."
Wu Ning clapped his hands, but he didn't expect Lin Ran to have such a clever move, which could indeed save his losses and make Boss Meng bleed.
"But if our auction house has an overestimation problem, won't our reputation be damaged?" Wu Ning actually values reputation more than money.
Now that the auction house is quite famous in the industry, if there are some minor mistakes at this time, their reputation will indeed suffer some damage.
This is also what makes Wu Ning more entangled.
"It doesn't matter, we can put this batch of goods in the auction house in the form of a hanging auction."
The so-called hanging auction means that the price of the auction item is not specified by the auction house, but the holder of the auction item strongly requests that this price be used to start the bidding.
As for the final proceeds, it belongs to the auctioneer, and the auction house cannot get any profit from it.
Therefore, most auction houses will reject this form of auction items.
"That's it!" Wu Ning's confusion was solved.
"In the face of rogues, we can only be more rogue than them." Lin Ran said.
He believed that Boss Meng would come to him for help again soon. When the time came, he would have to peel off his skin. He actually dared to plot against himself!
The auction will be held next week, and the location has been chosen. Lin Ran will also attend. He wants to see Boss Meng's face with his own eyes.
In the next few days, he rarely felt free.
The store work is managed by Yang Jianlong, the factory is managed by Li Yuanhao, and the auction house is managed by Wu Ning.
As a boss, life is actually quite comfortable. As long as there are no mistakes, there is no need for him to take action.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the day of the class reunion.
On this day, Lin Ran got up early. First he jogged a few laps in the yard to exercise, and then changed into casual clothes.
When gathering with classmates, there is no need to wear formal attire.
He had tidied himself up a little, so at least he wouldn't look as poor as before.
Of course, as long as his classmates don't touch his bottom line, he will not reveal his identity.
Recalling that my relatives used to know that he opened a store, they all asked to put their sons into his company and factory.
In China, human relations are a very important part.
Although he can maintain a relatively neutral attitude, if his classmates are having a hard time, he really can't refuse.
"It turns out that the boss has his own troubles." Lin Ran looked at himself in the mirror and recalled that in the past, he always felt that some rich people deliberately pretended to be poor, which was a bit hypocritical. Only some nouveau riche liked to show off their wealth. Rich people live in a circle full of people with similar net worth to themselves, so there is no need to show off to ordinary people.
In the Juxinglou Hotel.
Jiang Chaobo nodded and bowed to Luo Yang: "Brother Yang, I have contacted Lin Ran, and he said he will definitely come."
"I'll definitely come. What time is it?" He glanced at the time and saw it was already 11 o'clock.
Most of the people who came to the class reunion have arrived. Luo Yang looked at his watch from time to time, looking a little impatient.
"Xialin Village is a place with no village in front and no store in back. It will take some time for him to come here." Sitting next to Luo Yang was a gorgeous woman named Sun Xiaomei, who is Luo Yang's current girlfriend.
But seeing her heavily made up, if Lin Ran were present, it would be difficult to connect her with the former class beauty.
