Chapter 1715: Long-lost country life
"So that's it." Wu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. If the auction house's containers were filled with such things, there would be no place to put the truly valuable goods.
At least in his opinion, these things are not valuable at all.
But he also found it quite strange. Lin Ran's vision had always been very accurate, and he must have very high requirements for decorations. How could these rough-looking woods catch his eye?
It's just that he is a worker, so he just needs to do what his boss says.
So, Wu Ning made a decision, returned to the house, and communicated with Meng Lin for a while.
Meng Lin was naturally very happy. He sold the junk in the yard to Lin Ran, solving his debt problem and saving the shop.
Anyway, he didn't think this thing was valuable. He had asked some people to look at it before, but no one was interested at all.
Nowadays, there are very few root carving masters in China because of the lack of market.
The price of this thing is not cheap, but when it comes to the decorative effect, it is actually just average.
There are very few people willing to buy root carvings.
Just now, Lin Ran said he went out to look at the wood carvings. Boss Meng thought he was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted all the wood carvings, and then his debt was canceled.
Boss Meng naturally signed the purchase agreement happily. When signing, he asked himself again whether he could still get money for the auction items.
"Don't worry, we are different from you. We are doing business legitimately. Your money will not be less." Lin Ran sneered.
You really can't believe it when it comes to gambling on dogs. Gu Shen's miserable life was all caused by himself, because he pitied his family.
After Wu Ning signed the contract, he found a truck, gave the address of Lin Ran's home, and then drove the truck to deliver the things to his home.
Lin Ran naturally didn't want to stay at Meng Lin's house any longer, so he just asked before leaving: "What did your family do before?"
"Mr. Lin, my family has always been engaged in the wood carving industry, but this industry has always been manual work, so I have stopped doing it in my generation."
"Oh." Lin Ran replied lightly, but his heart was full of disdain.
In his current financial situation, he might as well inherit the family business and at least become a root carving master to maintain his personal livelihood.
Lin Ran drove back to his home to do the work. Wu Ning had already arranged for people to place the root carvings in the appropriate positions.
"Not bad, quite decent." Lin Ran was very satisfied with his arrangement.
At this moment, Mother Lin walked out of the room.
"Xiao Ran, someone who called himself Manager Wu just sent these things over. What do you think?" She felt like laughing.
Because in rural areas, the most indispensable thing is wood.
In addition to burning coal, their family also burns firewood.
Therefore, every household has a firewood pile at the door, filled with chopped wood.
"Mom, don't underestimate these pieces of wood, they are valuable!"
"What is this pair of wood worth?" Mother Lin looked at the root carving in surprise. If Lin Ran hadn't made money by reselling these junk things before, she would not have believed it.
Lin Ran only showed his true thoughts after returning home.
Although root carvings are not very valuable now, over time, with the integration of traditional culture and modern culture, the market for root carvings will grow significantly.
In just one year, these root carvings can be sold for [-] yuan.
In another ten years, 70 million will be very easy.
Although according to the theory of devaluation, he lost money.
But during this time, you can put it in your home as a decoration.
It can only be said that Meng Lin himself is a blind person. He sticks to the traditional family business and insists on becoming a prodigal son.
Mother Lin couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoran, is there any way you can sell these wood?"
In her opinion, the wood was wasted for firewood.
"Mom, please don't burn these wood, they are valuable!" Lin Ran's heart tightened immediately after hearing this.
My mother is a person with simple values. If she hadn't come back in time, my mother might have cut them down as wood, and I couldn't help but feel scared.
"Of course." Lin Ran replied with a smile.
Root carvings are niche works of art, and the buyer’s market is not that big.
By chance, Lin Ran actually knew that there was such a person.
That night, he was in no rush to contact anyone.
It’s been a long time since I had a meal with my family.
My sister is now also the pillar of the store, and is actually the boss in name only.
However, she still rides her bicycle every day, going from dawn to dusk to and from the store and home.
Today, when he saw Lin Ran sitting in his seat, he was also overjoyed: "Xiao Ran, you are finally back."
"Sister, I've been back for a week."
In fact, it's not Lin Wanjun's fault. After becoming the boss, there are naturally more things to be busy with every day.
She is no longer responsible for sales operations, but is responsible for management and finance.
She had no experience in this area before, but the store was opened by Lin Ran in partnership with others. No one dared to have any objections, so it was logical to arrange a manager for her sister to teach her from scratch.
After this period of study and feedback from the store, Lin Ran knew that her sister could also take charge of her own business.
Naturally, I felt very happy.
In the previous life, my sister left her hometown to pay off her debts.
In the end, I finished college and finally lived a good life, but I could never find my sister again.
At that time, Lin Ran was heartbroken and only regretted that he had been too weak and incompetent before.
After returning to the 80s, I finally changed everything through my own efforts.
My sister also got her wish and became a real strong woman, and she was able to retain her own personality.
During this period, Lin Wanjun basically spent it in the store, because after a quarter, she needed to make a quarterly summary.
She only had time to go home today, so she was naturally very happy to see Lin Ran.
Lin Ran smiled and said, "Sister, if you get rich in the future, don't forget your brother."
"What are you talking about? Isn't what's mine yours?" Lin Wanjun knew that her brother was joking with him, so she replied.
Mother Lin felt very relieved. Now that her father had returned from the hospital for examination, they could eat happily as a family.
"Did Dad go to the hospital in the city for a check-up?"
"Well, I heard that there were a lot of inspection items and it cost some money." Mother Lin said, but now she doesn't have to worry about money anymore.
"Okay, let's go to the city for dinner." Lin Ran took out the car keys and said, "We'll pick dad up by the way."
Now that they no longer have to stay at home every day, they can finally live a life that was once elusive.
