Chapter 1213: The auction house is about to open
Lin Ran said goodbye to Tang Lanxuan and left the museum.
He planned to go back to Yang Mingwei first. As long as he got the pottery figurines, Tang Lanxuan could apply to his superiors.
As for what to do with the National Museum, Lin Ran felt that she should have a way to handle it.
But besides these tasks, Lin Ran actually has other ways to solve the problem.
For example, I went to the director of the Ministry of Culture and Culture, but I really didn’t know how to talk to him about this matter.
They knew about the existence of the Treasure Hunting Club, but they didn't know the secrets of treasure hunting.
They just regard the Treasure Hunting Society as tomb robbers who steal Chinese cultural relics, and they only want to crack down on their misdeeds in China. They are still kept in the dark about their true purpose.
Lin Ran didn't intend to tell him this secret, after all, people were at odds with each other.
Who knows whether the minister will use his own power to send people to dig graves and take this technology into his own hands.
No one can resist this.
So he gave up the idea as soon as possible, but he was not in a hurry. When he returned, he called Yang Mingwei and asked Yang Jianlong to pick it up tomorrow.
Because, now there are more important things before Lin Ran.
The auction house is about to open, and as the mainland general manager arranged by Chen Qi, he must attend.
Liu Jiajia and Chen Ning relied on their own abilities to almost complete the preliminary work of the auction house.
When I returned to my office in Beijing today, I found a letter lying in the drawer.
When I opened it, I saw that it was ready to open.
There are too many things to deal with. Fortunately, the auction house does not need to invest too much time in the early stage, and Chen Qi also provides funds.
Just arrange the opening activities.
On the surface, his current strength is just that of the boss of Shengshi Craftsmanship, but his real strength is much higher than it appears on paper.
Moreover, the people you come into contact with are also at different levels.
But Lin Ran also knew that the people he had come into contact with so far were actually only a few young masters from big families, and he had not yet truly met the giants behind them.
In the old man's view, they were just making a small fuss. Even if they lost money, they could not touch the foundation of their family.
If you want to really get in touch with the giants, the current level is still not up to par.
Lin Ran didn't know the specific identity of the giant of the big family.
With the auction house, everything is different.
As long as he can auction a few high-priced artifacts, these people will definitely pay attention to him, and then they will have the opportunity to contact him.
"We must first settle the matter at the auction house." Lin Ran thought to himself.
We have to make contact with them anyway. Even if we can't contact them now, we will definitely have a relationship with them in the future.
Nothing has to be forced.
Back in the village, I saw Guan Yun when I came home.
Guan Yun had been waiting for Lin Ran here. When he learned that he had gone to another place, he almost wanted to follow him.
However, Lin Ran didn't have a tracker with him, and he didn't explain where he was going. He could only sit at Lin Ran's house and worry.
When he saw Lin Ran, he immediately greeted him.
"Mr. Lin, you're going again..." Before he could say the word "Go to the Tomb", Lin Ran quickly interrupted: "Guan Yun, you are finally back, let's see what specialties I brought you?"
Lin Ran took a bag of apples off Yang Jianlong's car and handed it to Guan Yun.
Guan Yun looked at the apple in his hand doubtfully, and Lin Ran smiled and said: "This is an apple from Gansu. Try it. It tastes completely different from the one in the capital."
He said this because his parents were nearby.
Guan Yun's big mouth almost exposed his identity.
When his parents went to prepare dinner, Lin Ran called Guan Yun to his room and explained the whole story.
Guan Yun was speechless for a moment.
He knew that when he was with Lin Ran and others, he would encounter some unexpected situations.
But he didn't expect that this time it was Zongzi and he traveled through time and space, which was far beyond his cognitive scope.
If he reported it to the higher authorities, he believed that the superiors would do the same thing.
What does this mean?Technology ahead of its time.
There is not a single person or country that is not moved.
Lin Ran actually thought that as long as the state came forward, the secret of this ancient tomb would soon be revealed.
But he vaguely felt that this was a Pandora's box.
Once it is opened, no matter what the original intention of the person who opens it is, his eyes will be deceived by the devil in the end.
The only thing that can be done is to destroy it.
He believes that one day he will be able to solve these problems.
"What does it mean to be able to solve it? Do you plan to go again?" Guan Yun asked puzzledly.
Lin Ran smiled.
After experiencing this incident, Lin Ran finally understood why Zhu Xu made such an arrangement.
In some ancient tombs, the dangers inside are far more sinister than imagined outside.
The ancients did not have high technology such as computers, but they relied on their own knowledge system to create a completely different route.
Lin Ran was thinking about the secret skills of treasure appraisal, if each secret skill had its own value.
What is the value of identification?
Are you seeing the truth of history?
You must know that what you see may not be true.
He can only see the surface, but cannot detect the story behind it.
For example, why can rubies and emeralds confuse time and space when they are together?
Another example is that rice dumpling. How does it stand and walk? Why is it afraid of the pearl inside?
Thinking of pearls, Lin Ran remembered that there were two pearls in his pocket. One remained the same, but the other had turned into an ordinary stone because it was used to attack Zongzi.
Pearls are actually a sticky substance formed from the sand inside the shell, but now they have become ordinary stones.
There are only two possibilities, either this is not a pearl, but a substance that is very similar to a pearl.
Either the zongzi directly changes its molecular structure after touching the pearl.
This is a problem that needs to be studied by Lin Ran, but to study the problem, you need some advanced equipment and instruments to detect its chemical composition. This is something that only the National Museum's research laboratory can provide.
Anyway, the time will come sooner or later, don't rush it.
If you just explore blindly, you may not get any answers, but you will get confused.
In the evening, Lin Ran received a call from Chen Qi at home.
"Master, the agreed date for the opening of the auction house is very close. How is your auction house prepared?" Chen Qi was now very polite to Lin Ran.
Because Lin Ran used the surname Chen as a pseudonym and had a close relationship with the Qilin Society, they became famous in the jewelry and antiques industry, and now his worth has increased many times.
Moreover, he taught his brother a lesson last time. Now, Chen Qi's status in the family is second only to his eldest brother, and he is the person most likely to succeed the family business.
As long as he can capture the mainland market, he is the best candidate, bar none.
Therefore, it is rare to show sincerity.
