Chapter 844: A good man to the end
There is also some sandalwood scent in the box, which on the one hand can cover up the smell of charcoal fire left by the porcelain burning, and on the other hand, it also makes the gift appear more high-end.
This is their next market goal, so that handicrafts can not only become home decorations, but also become gifts that compete with nutritional products.
Ge Zhenliang was his first test target.
Just as he imagined, Ge Zhenliang compared the two pottery figurines and then smiled.
"Yes, it seems that you are really the boss of Shengshi Craftsmanship." He put the pottery figurine back into the gift box, and then placed the worn pottery figurine on the table in front of Lin Ran.
"As agreed, you can take this thing."
He seemed very generous, because in his opinion, the gift from Lin Ran was more valuable.
Really blind.
Lin Ran secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he didn't know much about goods and only liked high-end-looking cultural relics.
In fact, the dilapidated pottery figurines have accumulated history. They are treasures left over from the Eastern Han Dynasty. If his father knew that his son traded antiques with him for handicrafts, he would not know how he would feel.
Taking the pottery figurines, Lin Ran left the office.
He didn't want to get too involved with people like Ge Zhenliang.
Taking the retrieved cultural relics, return to the market to find Uncle Li.
The two students were like followers, obediently following behind and obeying Lin Ran's orders.
Uncle Li was still setting up his stall at the same place as he said, but he still looked worried and worried.
"Uncle Li." Lin Ran came to the stall. The uncle immediately put away his depressed expression and showed a kind smile.
It's just that this smile looks particularly bitter. It's a smile that can only be shown by those who have experienced hardship and can still face life with a smile.
Lin Ran sighed, trying not to show his sympathy.
He put the pottery figurines on the table and said, "Uncle Li, I have brought back what I promised you."
When Uncle Li saw the rap pottery figurines, he was also stunned. Then he looked at Lin Ran and the students behind him, and then he suddenly realized that they were not the three young people who helped him in the morning?
I actually brought the stuff back.
There were tears in Uncle Li's eyes. He quickly took out four banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Lin Ran: "Thank you. This is the money he spent to buy the pottery figurines. I will transfer them to you now."
"No need." Lin Ran pushed the money back and said, "You said, as long as I bring it back, you will sell this to me, right?"
"Yes, yes." Uncle Li was very excited. The people he came into contact with were very realistic, especially after borrowing a round of money from relatives and friends, he was used to the warmth and coldness of the world.
I thought I wouldn't be moved again, but unexpectedly I found a long-lost touch in the young man in front of me.
Lin Ran said: "Then I won't hide it from you. This rap pottery figurine is a cultural relic from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Although the color has faded, it is still in good condition and is a valuable item. I think it will be put at the auction. You can sell it for 300 to [-] yuan, so I won’t deal with you anymore, I’ll give you [-] yuan, can you sell this pottery figurine to me?”
Lin Ran's words are true, even though this is a national treasure-level cultural relic.
But in this era, there are not many collectors of pottery figurines, and very few people can spend 300 yuan to buy pottery figurines.
Uncle Li was also frightened by Lin Ran's tone. He hesitated and said, "What? Three hundred?"
"Yes, three hundred, do you want to sell it?" Lin Ran was worried that he was deaf and increased his volume.
Uncle Li's eyes instantly became moist. If he could get 300 yuan, it would be enough for his grandson's first surgery.
He hurriedly said: "Sell! Sell!"
Lin Ran immediately took out his wallet and counted 300 yuan to him.
A glimmer of light appeared in Uncle Li's originally dull eyes.
Lin Ran then looked at the other cultural relics he had displayed, thinking that there was only one rare item in his stall.
But if you look closely, you can see that there are some tricks.
He became interested in the antiques displayed by Uncle Li. Seeing that Lin Ran still wanted to buy them, Zhang Feng reminded from behind: "I have seen all these, and there is nothing valuable left."
"Really?" Lin Ran smiled, "Then I have to take a closer look."
"You don't believe in my strength?" Zhang Feng frowned.
Qian Xiaorui whispered: "Zhang Feng, stop talking, I want to help Uncle Li."
After her reminder, Zhang Feng felt that this was indeed possible, so he stopped talking and started watching from the side.
However, from time to time, he glanced at Lin Ran with the corner of his eyes to see what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
The time has come to five o'clock, and the sun is getting ready to set.
Originally, Uncle Li was ready to end today's trip, but when a customer appeared, he had to stop.
Moreover, the person in front of him can be regarded as his great benefactor, so he naturally wants to entertain Youjia.
Uncle Li said: "Little brother, thank you very much for your help. I know that the pottery figurines are not worth 300 yuan. You can just take whatever you like in my stall. You're welcome."
"How could it be?" Lin Ran raised his head and smiled, "Uncle Li, what I just said is true."
Uncle Li thought that Lin Ran knew about his family's affairs and decided to help him.
Lin Ran pointed it out directly: "I can only help people within a reasonable range, and I am a businessman and will not make a loss-making business."
"To tell you the truth, the pottery figurine I have is known as the first pottery figurine of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The price is self-evident. I don't know how much you originally planned to sell it for, but it is less than 200 yuan. , it’s definitely a loss.”
Actually, I don’t know why I suddenly became so kind-hearted.
Originally, he came to Liuyunbao Market to pick up treasures. He finally saw a treasure and offered the highest price in the world.
This is nothing more than picking up holes, it's simply charity.
But when he thought of the regrets left in Xiping Village, Lin Ran still felt soft.
Even the remaining antiques in his stall are some folk collections, and some of them are from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and are no longer valuable.
But he still gave Uncle Li a friendly smile, took out his wallet, took out all the banknotes in it, and handed it to Uncle Li.
This action not only frightened Uncle Li and the two students next to him, but also attracted surprised looks from passers-by.
Is it possible that all the goods in Uncle Li’s stall are valuable?
Lin Ran picked two items at random and was about to leave.
Uncle Li grabbed him directly and shouted: "You can't do it."
"Uncle Li, what is your real name?" Lin Ran asked abruptly.
"Li Xiaohu, what's wrong?" Uncle Li was stunned for a moment, wondering why Lin Ran suddenly asked so much.
"Okay, here is 2000 yuan. I will accept your drumming and singing pottery figurines. The rest will be used as a deposit for these antiques. It is not convenient for me to take them now. I will come to pick them up another day, but you can sell them. If so, you don’t have to give it to me, okay?”
Lin Ran smiled, and then added: "Don't worry about thanking me, just use the money to treat your grandson."
