Chapter 1347: Yang Mou
As the handicraft was handed over to Hoxha, the eyes of the guests present were also attracted to the porcelain bottle.
They heard clearly that this was just a Jiangnan craft porcelain vase, a handicraft, not an antique.
Unless it is a masterpiece and the materials used are precious, it will not be available at all.
They waited for Hoxha to refuse.
Hoxha frowned and turned the porcelain bottle over and over to check.
Before he could speak, Lei Jiangtao took the lead and said, "Master Huo, you don't need to look at it, this is just an ordinary handicraft."
"I know." Hoxha stared at him expressionlessly. If this was an antique, he would have better look for it under the steps, but the other party repeatedly emphasized that it was a handicraft. If he accepted it directly, it would be a slap in his face.
He was thinking about how to explain himself.
Lei Jiangtao looked complacent.
If the other party dares to refuse, then they can just use the topic to their advantage.
In any case, Lei Jiangtao felt that he had the upper hand this time.
The person in charge of the Will Group is called the mall fox by the Maple Leaf Kingdom, and he truly deserves his reputation.
As a veteran in shopping malls, Hoxha certainly saw what he was up to, and he couldn't solve the problem now that he was throwing it into his own hands.Not only will his family's face be disgraced, but at the same time, his status in his father's heart will plummet, which will give his brothers a chance.
He couldn't make up his mind and felt very embarrassed.
At this time, Lin Ran suddenly came over.
He has to interrupt the other party's plan, wonder what their plan is?But they must not be allowed to get what they want.
Moreover, he already had an idea in his mind.
"Master Huo, this is not a handicraft, but an antique." Lin Ran's voice suddenly came.
Hocha was stunned, not expecting that Lin Ran would stand up and speak for him.
He was very grateful to Lin Ran. Even if it was a handicraft, if he stood up and spoke, he could put all the responsibility on him.
What a smart man!
Hoxha nodded to him.
The people present were very surprised. They all stared at this young man in ordinary clothes. They didn't know where he came from, but he dared to ignore etiquette!
"Huh? Isn't he the guy who was almost kicked out by Miss Huo before?"
"Yes, it seems that he is someone from the Ministry of Chinese Language and Culture."
"What kind of department is the Ministry of Chinese Language and Literature? I have never heard of it."
"You don't understand this, right? There are many weird departments set up just for these people."
"Oh, it turns out to be a gold-plated post."
"But this guy really gave the Huo family plenty of face."
Some of them saw Lin Ran's intentions. For him to stand up and speak out was indeed the best way to deal with Yang Mou.
Lei Jiangtao's plan was disrupted, and he stared at Lin Ran angrily.
However, due to the identity of the other party, he did not dare to make any mistakes.
Instead, he cupped his fists and said to Mr. Huo: "Mr. Huo, he interrupted my gift before it was over. Isn't it inappropriate?"
"He is my family's treasure appraiser." Hoxha nodded to Lin Ran, "For some rare treasures, my skills are not as good as Master Lin."
Many people present remembered that Lin Ran was almost kicked out of the house by Miss Huo, and now they were told that Lin Ran was their family's treasure appraiser.
No normal person would believe it.
However, in this situation, who dares to stand up and question it?
Mr. Huo had no objection, and neither did Lin Ran. They stood up and questioned, not only asking for trouble, but also causing trouble for themselves.
Therefore, no one except Lei Jiangtao dared to express any other opinions.
Mr. Huo smiled: "Nephew Lei, Mr. Lin is indeed the treasure appraiser we invited from the capital. If your family has business in the capital, you should have heard of his name."
Lei Jiangtao was originally a playboy, and his family's business was all decided by his father. Of course he didn't know Lin Ran's name.
He sneered: "Okay, anyway, his opinions represent the wishes of your Huo family, right?"
The implication is that the responsibility is still placed on them, don't try to find excuses to get away.
Hoxha was a little embarrassed, but Lin Ran walked up with a smile.
The confident look made both Hoxha and Mr. Huo feel quite at ease.
The two of them exchanged glances, wanting to see what Lin Ran planned to do.
Lin Ran took the porcelain bottle, held it in his hands with a very professional technique, turned it over and looked at it for a while.
"Master Lei, where did you get this thing?" Lin Ran looked up at Lei Jiangtao and asked.
Lei Jiangtao looked impatient: "I got it from Confucius Temple Antique Street."
Mentioning the words Confucius Temple, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
If Lin Ran still had the nerve to mention this matter, it would be a good idea to settle the accounts with him thoroughly today.
"Of course, it's just a handicraft."
Lei Jiangtao added that he hoped that the Huo family would not step down.
Lin Ran smiled slightly.
"Master Lei, you are really discerning! In fact, this is not a handicraft!" Lin Ran said with a look of joy and a pretentious tone.
This sentence shocked the surrounding guests.
They only knew that some people gave handicrafts as antiques as gifts to others. This was the first time they heard of someone giving antiques as handicrafts.
"Not a handicraft?" Lei Jiangtao was stunned. He said to Lin Ran: "Take a closer look. There are four words 'Jing Kiln Products' printed on the bottom of this bottle!"
Jingdezhen's porcelain will be printed with these four characters after production, and then circulated throughout the country through the trade market.
When he saw these four words, he recognized that this was a handicraft.
If it is a product from the Qing Dynasty, it should at least be engraved with the emperor's name.
Although Lei Jiangtao is not a treasure appraiser, he has seen a lot of antiques, and he has never seen any antique directly printed with these four characters.
His attitude was a little unusual, and the guests realized something was wrong.
Some people actually keep emphasizing that what they are giving away are handicrafts.
The Lei family are not ordinary businessmen. They can't afford any valuable items, but they want to give them handicrafts?
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
However, Lin Ran chuckled: "Mr. Lei, you are right, but I would like to first congratulate you for picking up a big leak!"
Lin Ran's gesture of clasping his fists looked like congratulations, but in fact it was full of ridicule.
Lei Jiangtao's expression changed. This was the first time he was angry because someone said he had good taste. But he couldn't get angry directly now, so he asked in a more sinister tone: "What are you talking about? Tell me."
Lin Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Because the porcelain bottle you bought is a genuine antique and is worth a lot of money!"
"What?" Lei Jiangtao showed an expression of disbelief.
At this time, Huo Lei, who looked similar to Hoxha, also walked up.
He first said sarcastically: "Dad, where did my brother find this lunatic? How can he be such a decent person by gossiping about him?"
