Chapter 847: Calling for help
Beijing University obviously attaches great importance to students majoring in treasure appraisal and has given each of them fifty yuan of funding.
Of course, this is the upper limit, and students have to pay for anything beyond the upper limit.
But if the cultural relics bought are valuable, the school will recycle them at a high price.
In fact, it is equivalent to providing students with social practice. Zhang Feng and Qian Xiaorui returned to Liuyunbao City as partners.
"I really should have gone to his factory to get some pottery figurines to deal with the professor yesterday." Qian Xiaorui said with a mischievous smile.
Zhang Feng, who was standing next to her, had a serious face and criticized her for her improper attitude.
"We are academics, how can we do such opportunistic things?" Zhang Feng said.
Due to limited funds, they had no choice but to pick up the slack.
Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaorui laughed out loud: "That's not to blame for some people. Yesterday, they gave away 100 yuan when they got mad. They bought a bunch of junk stuff and were scolded by the professor."
Qian Xiaorui was speechless, so Zhang Feng had to pretend not to hear.
Unconsciously, he came to yesterday's stall again.
After taking the money given by Lin Ran, he should take his grandson to see a doctor.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Li still went out to the stall today, but Uncle Li did not recognize Zhang Feng and Qian Xiaorui, but his complexion was much better than yesterday.
There were bottles and cans on the stall, but they were in poor condition and no one cared about them.
Seeing that Zhang Feng was about to go over again, Qian Xiaorui said quickly: "Zhang Feng, I know you are a nice person, but your studies are more important, so let's go and pick them up quickly."
"Okay." Zhang Feng originally wanted to help again, but he thought that the money Lin Ran gave him yesterday should be enough, and it wouldn't matter if he paid dozens more yuan.
They turned around and were about to take another street, but at this moment, several people surrounded Uncle Li.
Then they took Uncle Li away. The sudden scene shocked Zhang Feng and Qian Xiaorui.
But they quickly calmed down and followed secretly.
Uncle Li was taken to an alley. There was no concept of respecting the elderly and caring for the young in these days. The gangster threw him to the ground and made him kneel in front of someone.
Looking sideways, he saw that the leader was Ge Zhenliang.
Ge Zhenliang looked displeased and asked: "Do you know the person who bought your pottery figurines yesterday?"
Only one pottery figurine was sold yesterday, so it didn't take much to figure out that he was looking for Lin Ran.
Lin Ran was his grandson's savior. Of course he would not betray Lin Ran, so he shook his head and said, "Young man, didn't you buy it yesterday?"
Ge Zhenliang looked dismissive and lighted a cigarette as he was minding his own business.
He blew out a smoke ring and said indifferently: "Don't try to deceive me in Liuyunbao City. Yesterday, Lin Ran took back the pottery figurines and went to find you."
It turned out that he had known Lin Ran's name for a long time. After all, he had given him a business card yesterday, so there was no way he could not find him.
But when he came to Uncle Li, he obviously had other plans.
"I really don't know..." Uncle Li still wanted to argue, but the gangster behind him stepped on his back.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng almost rushed out.
It's really unreasonable to be so cruel to an old man.
But the little gangster held back. He also knew that a life had been caused, but it would not end well. The kick just now was just a warning.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Li has become very weak due to his long-term frugality.
He stepped directly to the ground with one foot and screamed in agony.
"Tsk." Ge Zhenliang clicked his tongue as if nothing was wrong, then squatted in front of Uncle Li and said, "I probably know what's going on. I'll make a deal with you. As long as you bring back the rap pottery figurines to me. , I will pay you whatever Lin Ran gave you yesterday."
As a businessman, Ge Zhenliang also understands the principle of picking soft persimmons.
There are cutting rules in the antique world. Once the transaction is completed, there is no dispute between the buyer and the seller.
And it was impossible for him to go directly to Lin Ran's door to ask for something. The other party's reputation was very high in the business circle of the capital. Mayor Gu nominated him as an outstanding young entrepreneur many times and asked all streets to focus on supporting people like Lin Ran. Young talents.
He is only the vice president of Liuyunbao City Management Committee and has no authority to govern matters outside the commercial street.
Lin Ran finished the work at hand and had some time for the time being.
He decided to go to the factory to see the progress of the enamel blending.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard the assistant at the door shout: "Who are you? You are not allowed to enter the office area without the permission of the boss."
"I'm here to see Lin Ran."
"You go to the front to register first, eh!"
As soon as the argument ends, the office door will open.
The assistant was pulling Zhang Feng with Qian Xiaorui, while the latter rushed into the office desperately.
"I'm sorry, boss..."
"It's okay." Lin Ran waved his hand and motioned for the assistant to go down.
Then Zhang Feng and Qian Xiaorui entered the office and asked them to sit down.
"What's going on? This isn't a school where people can just make a fuss." In Liuyunbao City, they can still forgive themselves for being unreasonable. After all, this is a public place.
But within their company, if they treat themselves with this attitude and do not punish them, their prestige will be lost.
Zhang Feng was out of breath and said, "Lin Ran, something serious has happened."
"Don't make such a fuss." Lin Ran put down the two disposable teacups, poured some hot water, and said, "Especially you, you always look restless. How can you help others identify cultural relics in the future?"
"Uncle Li..." Zhang Feng was obviously a self-centered person and didn't listen to Lin Ran's words at all.
Lin Ran was stunned when he heard the words Uncle Li.
"Speak slowly."
Zhang Feng told Lin Ran the whole story of what they heard at the entrance of the alley, which made Lin Ran very angry.
He stood up and paced around the office.
"Didn't we agree to exchange cultural relics yesterday?" Lin Ran even made a brand new one for him, and he also liked it at the time.
Why did you turn your back on him in such a short time?
Uncle Li had received Lin Ran's favor, and of course he would not betray Lin Ran. He rejected Ge Zhenliang's request on the spot.
Ge Zhenliang did not let his men beat Uncle Li, but confiscated all his belongings and kicked him out of Liuyunbao City, not allowing him to enter again.
"This is really unreasonable!" Lin Ran was furious.
These people are just bullies. He has obviously given his business card to Ge Zhenliang. If he really wanted to get the cultural relics back from him, he would have just called him or come to him.
He went to find the innocent Uncle Li, obviously because he was easy to bully.
Zhang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Lin Ran, I know you also have subordinates, let's go teach Ge Zhenliang a lesson!"
It turned out that he came here for this matter, and Lin Ran was amused by him.
"Who do you think I am? The leader of the underworld?" Lin Ran was really convinced by Zhang Feng's thinking pattern.
Zhang Feng asked, "Isn't your subordinate a very fierce bald man? He doesn't look like a good person."
