Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 2618: Emergency Contact

"If you have the opportunity in the future, come to my stall more often. You are also welcome to introduce other friends over."

"By the way, can you leave your contact information? If I have something good, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, there would be a stall asking for his phone number, but Lin Ran didn't care, since he wouldn't need his phone number soon anyway.

He left his number to the stall owner, who smiled at him. At this time, other customers at the stall asked about the price. The stall owner had no time to chat with Lin Ran and went back to work.

Hans's expression was a little strange, and even Cliff, who didn't know much about antiques, was looking at Lin Ran with strange eyes.

Lin Ran guessed the question they wanted to ask and deliberately said, "I'll know the answer in a minute."

In fact, the overall cost was less than US$1, which was completely acceptable to them.

They then continued shopping in the open-air market, purchased some cultural relics, and prepared to return to the hotel.

He didn't buy a lot of things, and Hans seemed dissatisfied.

Lin Ran noticed that he was a little depressed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, at least I have got you everything you need to buy at the open-air market today."

"Really?" Hans asked, "Why do I feel that your way of identifying cultural relics is different from other people's? Is your accuracy high?"

This was the first time Hans went out to buy cultural relics with Lin Ran. He originally thought that Lin Ran would look at a cultural relic like other antique experts. It would take at least half an hour to inspect a cultural relic.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran just held most of the antiques in his hands and played with them for a while before deciding to buy them, which seemed too hasty.

If it weren't for the clan leader's intention, Hans would have asked him on the spot if he was playing tricks on them.

The mission of their organization is to recover all Chinese cultural relics lost abroad. It is not for making money, let alone for fun. Lin Ran's seemingly casual identification method, in Hans's eyes, is disrespectful to their organization.

"Don't go back to the hotel yet, let's find a place to have everything appraised?" Lin Ran suggested. He could see Hans's dissatisfaction with him.

If you want to cooperate, the prerequisite is mutual trust.

At the open-air market just now, Lin Ran had many appraisal results that were difficult to tell directly. After all, they were here to pick up the missing items, not to be interpreters of cultural relics.

Hans drove the car, originally intending to take Lin Ran back to the hotel directly, but after hearing these words, he turned the car around in front of the slums and headed to a warehouse in the suburbs.

This is neither their base camp nor a hotel.

Lin Ran looked at the surrounding environment and felt that this place was quite suitable for hiding antiques. His eyes lit up and he said, "Are you planning to replace the things from the museum and put them here?"

"That's right." Hans said, "This place is close to the dock and also close to the base. We can decide whether to transport it directly back to China or hide it in our base based on the urgency."

Lin Ran nodded slightly, their preparations were indeed quite good.

From the outside, it looks like an abandoned warehouse.

Moreover, no construction company will take over this land for a long time, and no homeless people will come here, because the organization will send people to clear the site at any time and drive away people who do not belong to their organization.

Cliff was moving the cultural relics out one by one, while Hans pulled a batch of old tables in front of him and placed all the cultural relics on them.

Lin Ran began to appraise one item after another, the things he had just bought from the open-air market.

"This bronze vessel with handles is a 卣. It was a wine vessel used to hold wine during the Han Dynasty;"

"This painting is a silk painting of "The Picture of Women's History", a copy from the Song Dynasty."

"This slate painting is a sculpture of six horses. It was the work of Yan Liben during the period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."

...

Lin Ran counted all the treasures in his family and told the age and author of one antique after another. Hans was stunned for a moment. He thought Lin Ran was just picking at random.

Hans does not have much appraisal ability. His main job is to estimate and then coordinate the contact with the Chinese headquarters.

But he understands the value of antiques only too well.

Each of these antiques is worth a sky-high price in the market, and they bought all the antiques for a total of only 5 US dollars.

"Really?" Hans began to get excited. The patriarch did not deceive himself. The man in front of him was indeed a talent.

"You should have your own antique experts appraise it when you take it back, right?" Lin Ran said. Although he was full of confidence in his appraisal result, this was the appraisal result of the secret technique of treasure appraisal, which was more authoritative than the official one.

But it is still necessary to go through the process, and at least let the organization's professionals help check it after returning to offset their suspicions.

"Well, I'll write it down first." Hans took out a paper and pen and wrote down everything Lin Ran said just now, and placed it in front of the corresponding cultural relics. As long as he returned to the base, he could confirm the authenticity. I hope Lin Ran Don't let yourself down.

Next, Lin Ran turned his attention to the jade sculpture he just bought.

This jade carving is the most important thing.

Hans came to Lin Ran and looked at the jade sculpture of David's head in front of him. This jade sculpture cost 5000 US dollars, which was more valuable than any other antique.

He was very puzzled: "This jade carving is completely made in recent years. Is there any special purpose for you to buy it?"

"Do you have any stone cutting tools?" Lin Ran asked.

"There is everything in the base. Do you mean..." Hans's face darkened, and he probably guessed what Lin Ran meant. There is a whole world inside this center.

"It's not certain yet, but there is a high probability." Lin Ran said.

"Is it precious?"

"Yes."

"How are you sure?" Hans asked excitedly. He was impressed by the appraisal of more than ten antiques just now, and he was even more interested to see if Lin Ran could continue this myth.

"This is my secret, I can't tell you." Lin Ran refused Hans' request.

Hans saw his serious expression and knew that the jade carving might indeed be very valuable, even far more valuable than other antiques.

realized the seriousness of the matter.

Hans said to Cliff: "These things are in the warehouse first. You ask Philip to drive over and transport them all back."

Cliff nodded.

Hans turned to Lin Ran and said: "Let's go back to the base first. There are all kinds of tools there and there are also professional masters."

"Okay." Lin Ran followed Hans and prepared to leave the warehouse.

But at this moment, his cell phone rang.

This was a gift given to him by Fang Yuan after visiting the cultural relics square yesterday. There was no contact included in it.

Except for the stall owner just now.
