Chapter 341 The Revenge of the Tomb Robber
Zheng Xueming also laughed and toasted Lin Ran with a glass of wine: "Brother Lin really understands justice. I just heard from Jianlong that you have a lot to do, so I want to introduce a capable person to help you."
"But then I thought about it, if I arranged too many people, wouldn't it be suspected of being arrogant? So, I was a little rash today, please forgive me Brother Lin."
Zheng Xueming regretfully drank the wine in one gulp as a self-punishment.
Lin Ran burst out laughing: "How could I not understand Brother Zheng's character? Of course I believe in your decision."
"That's good." Zheng Xueming's face was a little red, obviously very happy, and he quickly asked them to sit down and eat.
"Actually, I still have other things to do. This store is just to realize an idea in my heart." Lin Ran explained the original intention of creating the store to Wu You.
He will be the new store manager, and he will be responsible for the management of the store in the future, so he must understand his original intention of opening the store.
"The primary purpose of opening a handicraft store is to solve the food problem of craftsmen." He couldn't help but think of Wei Chengbin, a man who could imitate Tang Sancai lifelike, but he was forced to sleep under a bridge because of relocation.
This is just a microcosm of contemporary craftsmen, and there are many more craftsmen living on the edge of poverty!
These are all the seeds of the inheritance of Chinese civilization!
Listening to Lin Ran's words, Wu You couldn't help but nodded in admiration.
As the master of Tianlexing, he has seen countless treasures, and he also knows that in a dynasty, it is the right of a few people to be able to make a name and pass on cultural relics.
Most craftsmen live in obscurity and work hard.
"The second purpose is to cultivate people's love for cultural relics." Lin Ran continued, "Currently cultural toys are mainly toys for the rich and have become synonymous with arty. But some rich people have bought a lot of cultural relics, but in fact they are not I don’t know why.”
“The store designed by our private museum allows them to understand the dynasty stories behind the crafts when they buy them.”
"Perhaps one month, two months, or two months won't look special. But as our store grows bigger, we will definitely be able to cultivate a huge group of cultural relic appreciators!"
Lin Ran said in a heroic tone.
The three people listening nearby had already imagined a future scene in their hearts.
All the young people are not talking about cars and music, but the history of China!
Perhaps most people initially open a store to make money, but after making money, everyone will want to realize their own life value.
This is the goal and vision they are pursuing!
Zheng Xueming's tone became a little excited: "Brother Lin, from your tone, it seems that you plan to open stores all over the country? Just like Chen Cheng?"
"Not just all over the country." Lin Ran said firmly, "I also want to open up overseas markets and let people all over the world be shocked by China's craftsmanship."
“I am even more in awe of China’s civilization and heritage!”
Every country has its history, but most civilizations have disappeared during historical changes, and only the Chinese civilization has been passed down.
For example, Egypt's pyramid-making technology has nothing to do with Egypt today. Their craftsmen have changed batch after batch, and the technology has been lost.
But Wei Chengbin's technology is a real Tang Sancai production technology. The inheritance of our civilization has never been interrupted, and we must show this to the world.
A chain store all over the world?
Hearing this term, Zheng Xueming and the other three couldn't help but be shocked beyond measure.
Half a day later, Zheng Xueming filled up his wine glass and discovered that Yang Jianlong and Wu You had done the same thing.
They raised their glasses at the same time and stretched out their hands to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin (godfather), I want to toast you."
"Okay, we can't realize this plan without our full cooperation! I'll have to rely on you to take care of me in the future!" Lin Ran also stood up and politely clinked glasses with them.
The drinking was extremely enjoyable.
Originally he was worried that he would not be able to train the clerk tomorrow, but with Wu You's help, Lin Ran could safely work as a hands-off shopkeeper.
They drank until eight o'clock in the evening. Before Lin Ran went out today, he had told his parents that he would not come back to live there. He originally planned to spend one night in the shop.
With the manpower arranged by Zheng Xueming, he was able to take some time off from his busy schedule.
It was now past eight o'clock. Zheng Xueming invited Lin Ran to spend the night at home: "Brother Lin, there are many vacant rooms in my house. It won't be a problem to arrange a guest room for you."
Lin Ran still wanted to refuse, but Zheng Xueming immediately lowered his face and said, "Does Brother Lin look down on my family?"
"No, I'm just afraid of causing trouble to Brother Zheng." Lin Ran quickly waved his hand to explain.
"No trouble, Jianlong, go and clean up the guest room and prepare toiletries for Brother Lin." Zheng Xueming immediately put on a happy expression.
Yang Jianlong was already drunk, but when he heard that he was going to tidy up the room for his godfather, he immediately woke up and ran to deal with the matter in a hurry.
"Brother Lin, I bought some treasures last time. Come and help me control my eyes." Zheng Xueming said with a smile. He finally had time to communicate with Lin Ran. Of course he would not miss it.
"By the way, Jianlong... I'm not going home today. Can you ask Baimao to go to my house to see if everything is okay?" Lin Ran said. Every time he left home, he would ask Yang Jianlong to help look after the house.
"Okay, I'll call Bai Mao right away."
……
At the same time, Xialin Village.
Several men with sly eyebrows twisted their lips when they saw Lin's mother closing the door: "Lin Ran's sister is quite beautiful, it's a pity."
"Brother Tian, the things are ready, just waiting for your order." A minion said.
They prepared gasoline. Lin Ran's house was made of wood. As long as gasoline was poured on it, it would easily catch fire.
Today's criminal investigation methods are backward and it is impossible to catch who set the fire.
They wear rat clothes just so that they won't be seen by others.
"Okay, get ready to set fire." The three people behind the man began to split up and prepared to pour gasoline on the wall of Lin Ran's house.
But at this moment, there was a roar from behind: "What are you guys doing!"
When they turned around, they saw a middle-aged man with white hair but a strong look, pointing a flashlight at them.
Moreover, more and more flashlights were pointed over.
Just as Baimao was about to call it a day, he received a call from Yang Jianlong and took the workers who were taking over the shift to take a look at the situation. Unexpectedly, he actually caught the gangster who came to set the fire.
Wearing night clothes and carrying gasoline that smelled strongly, they were obviously coming with bad intentions.
Baimao was originally a member of the Taoist community, so he naturally saw their purpose clearly.
Without further ado, he immediately waved his hand and shouted to his subordinates: "Fuck your grandma! Catch them for me!"
He brought more than 20 workers, and the four of them were so frightened that they ran away.
But they are only good at robbing tombs, and they pale into insignificance compared with workers engaged in manual labor!
