"You can buy our stuff if you want, but the store must be named after Shengshi Craftsmanship, without exception!" Lin Ran said word for word.

"What?" Ham felt that he heard wrongly and asked somewhat unhappily, "Our store has its own name, we don't want you to name it."

Ham actually came to China not long ago, but he came to look for goods, so he traveled all over the country.

I have also been in contact with many factories and merchants, and most of them feel honored to be able to sell to him. This is the first time I have seen someone put forward conditions to him, and they are still such harsh conditions.

Lin Ran reiterated it again, and of course Ham disagreed. He frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, you should know that it is an honor for me to help you bring your business to France."

"Isn't it natural to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand? Is it related to honor?" Lin Ran said with a smile. This sentence was a reply to his previous view that "if you buy Chinese cultural relics with money, it is your own."

Naturally, Ham understood the implication and felt a little unhappy.

He stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, it's such a pity. Please forgive me for not being able to accept your conditions."

After saying that, he turned around and left the store.

The departure of the foreigner naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing that he was unhappy and a little worried, the clerk quietly came up to him and asked, "Boss, what's wrong with him?"

"It's okay, we're just talking about business." Lin Ran looked at his leaving figure and added calmly: "He will definitely come back to me."

The foreigner left angrily, although it briefly made the atmosphere in the store awkward.

But soon, the festive atmosphere took over again, and people resumed their previous atmosphere of drinking tea, appreciating and selecting handicrafts.

The clerks at the Tang Dynasty Pavilion were busy moving boxes after boxes of handicrafts from the warehouse, because the sales were so good that it would be too late if they didn't restock.

Lin Ran thought to himself, if he had known earlier, he should have left Ham aside.

But today was the opening of a new store, and I was very busy with work, so I didn't have the chance to chat with Yuan Qianyun.

Thinking of this lively and kind girl, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

A few people also noticed Ham's situation.

Among them is Tang Lanxuan, who is somewhat familiar with Ham. He visited the Palace Museum some time ago and showed his love for Chinese porcelain.

Later I learned that he had his own ceramics shop abroad. This time he came to China. On the one hand, he was looking for cheap suppliers. On the other hand, he wanted to buy some cultural relics and sell them to local museums to make money.

So Tang Lanxuan temporarily left Mr. Qin and others and came to Lin Ran.

"Xiaoran, come here."

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"We have some things that we need to talk about alone. I wonder if there is a suitable place." Tang Lanxuan glanced at the busy shop assistants and the endless stream of tourists.

This is still a working day, let alone a holiday!

He wanted to find a private place to chat, so he said to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran nodded and immediately led the teacher to the office on the second floor.

After closing the door, Tang Lanxuan asked Lin Ran: "What topic did you and Mr. Ham talk about just now?"

"Teacher, do you know Ham?" Lin Ran was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the teacher's social circle was so wide.

Immediately, he told Tang Lanxuan about his conversation with Ham.

"I know very well that he wants to buy it, but he just can't save his face. It doesn't matter, he will come to me again." Lin Ran said confidently after finishing speaking.

Although she didn't know where Lin Ran's confidence came from, Tang Lanxuan still smiled happily when seeing his confident look.

"Yes, you must have this kind of attitude when doing business." Tang Lanxuan said, "Nowadays, people have not come out from the shadow of failure. When they see foreigners, they want to stick to them. There are very few people like you who treat them indifferently. "

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Of course I won't spoil him. I will do business with him, not only to open stores all over the world, but also to realize my plan."

"plan?"

"Sorry, teacher, I can't let others know the plan right now." Lin Ran trusted Tang Lanxuan and told him that he had a big plan.

But I didn't tell him the details because if something happened, Tang Lanxuan would be closely involved.

However, after working together several times, how could Tang Lanxuan not guess what Lin Ran was thinking.

He smiled and replied: "That's very good, Lin Ran, you are going to spread the reputation of Shengshi Craftsmanship to all over the world!"

After the two were polite, they left the office.

Tang Lanxuan, Mr. Qin and others found Wei Chengbin, and he also came to the store to help today.

When Mr. Qin called him to stop him, Wei Chengbin subconsciously wanted to run away. He was still worried about selling fake goods to museum researchers.

However, Mr. Qin and others came to remind him: "Your marks are too conspicuous and can easily be used by criminals. It is better to make them more secretive."

"That's true." Mr. Liu also said: "But it can be seen that Wei Chengbin's level is getting higher and higher, and the finished product is no less refined than the real thing!"

Wei Chengbin was stunned on the spot, but he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

He had deceived two professors before, but he didn't expect that they not only ignored their past grievances, but also discussed their flaws with him.

He couldn't help but said gratefully: "Thank you two professors for reminding me, but these ceramics were not made by me alone, but were made by me and the craftsmen in the workshop."

"Oh? Besides you, does anyone else have this level of skill?" This frightened the three old professors.

"Well, in fact, these porcelains are made by me and the master craftsmen. Each of them is responsible for a part of the craftsmanship, and they are made by drawing on the expertise of other craftsmen." Wei Chengbin replied.

The three professors looked at each other and then smiled: "Sure enough, cooperation is the best way. Mr. Wei, it seems that he has figured this out."

"No matter where, it was actually Mr. Lin who taught us." Wei Chengbin was naturally embarrassed to take the credit and passed the credit to Lin Ran.

Tang Lanxuan also smiled slightly.

Then he said: "Your store has a complete range of handicrafts. I can see imitations of the ceramics I saw in other museums in your store. Is this what Lin Ran told you?"

Wei Chengbin nodded naturally.

The smile on Tang Lanxuan's face became even more obvious.

Although I have not seen every handicraft, but take the several Tang Sancai pieces collected by the National Palace Museum as an example. The handicrafts they made can definitely look fake and real!

The level of craftsmanship even surpassed the official kilns of the Tang Dynasty, but it was a pity that it was born in the wrong era!

But what he admired more was Lin Ran's background.

Based on his understanding of Lin Ran, he was not very young and his family did not have much money, so it was naturally impossible for him to travel around since he was a child.

The level of appraisal of cultural relics is far superior to that of his peers, and is not even below him.

Lin Ran said it was from reading a book, but Tang Lanxuan didn't think so.

read more, walk more.

Reading is only one aspect. If it is not combined with practice, it will become a castle in the air.

But Lin Ran's appraisal skills and understanding of cultural relics are by no means unearned!

Although Tang Lanxuan was very interested in how Lin Ran obtained knowledge, he also deeply understood the principle that a hero should not ask for the source.

Just keep respecting and trusting Lin Ran, wait for him to reveal the answer himself, and surprise yourself!
