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

Chapter 595 Gambling?Starting a business?

Seeing the reactions of others, Lin Ran became worried. He would have to stare at this rough stone for at least half an hour.

As long as no one else participates in the bidding, he will definitely win the rough stone.

Of course, Lin Ran didn't intend to persuade others to give up. That was simply a fantasy.

What he can do now is to peek at the prices offered by others while they are bidding.

Just increase the price and it’s guaranteed to be foolproof!

Generally speaking, bidders will hide the sticky notes in their hands, not wanting others to guess their trump cards.

While Lin Ran was in the museum, he developed a skill.

He can guess the words he writes through the movements of other people's hands.

"I want to watch for a while longer." Lin Ran smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, why don't you go and rest first."

"You're not tired of looking at these rocks yet." Zheng Xueming laughed, "There will be more rocks for you to look at soon."

"This is just for exercise." Lin Ran replied.

Although Zheng Xueming finds it strange that other people want to see stones, they are basically looking at semi-gambling materials. Only by planting water to judge the quality of jade can they test their strength.

At least in Zheng Xueming's impression, no one can see through the quality of jade through all the materials.

If Lin Ran really had this ability, he would have learned a lot!

Zheng Xueming respected Lin Ran's choice, so he handed over his hand and said, "Then I will go to rest first and wait for the bidding results. Please remember to come and join me later."

"Don't worry, Brother Zheng." Lin Ran returned the salute.

After Zheng Xueming left, Lin Ran continued to look at the stones in front of him.

Comparing it with the photos in my impression, it should be right!

However, the location of Zao's tomb will change, will the jade inside the stone disappear?

I didn't know what to do, so I only gave a mental budget of five thousand.

Because he estimated that this ugly-looking stone could be priced at two thousand, which was very impressive.

To be conservative, Lin Ran added 1000 yuan on top of twice the amount.

Now I am quietly waiting for the moment to open the stone.

The time is getting closer and closer, but no one has come to bid yet, and Lin Ran's heart is also hanging.

20 is just around the corner!

It is impossible not to care about money. This feeling is like knowing the winning numbers of the next day's lottery in advance, which gives people a sense of physical and mental pleasure.

Lin Ran couldn't help but clenched his fists.

3 minutes!

In 3 minutes, the rough stone will be his!

But just then, a man in a shabby suit appeared.

His eyes were a little blurry, and he kept looking at his watch, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and came to the front of the eggshell stone.

He carefully looked at the stone in front of him and seemed to have some ideas.

Lin Ran looked at his attire and couldn't help but combine it with the image of a down-and-out factory owner described in his previous life.

Now it is basically certain that this is the football-sized Imperial Greenstone recorded in the book.

The man tore off a piece of note paper and was about to write down the price.

But at this time, he noticed Lin Ran beside him.

He forced a smile and said, "Little brother, are you also here to bet on stones?"

Lin Ran didn't expect that he would talk to her, and was a little surprised, but still calmly replied: "Yes, I just came to visit with my friends."

The man seemed to want to make some kind of decision, but was unable to make the decision.

"That's great, I just came here to take a look." He suddenly laughed.

"Do you want to make a fortune from this? Don't be too fanciful." Lin Ran said, "Just have fun betting on stones. If you invest in it, I'm afraid you will only lose everything."

"What if we are desperate?" he said in a murmuring voice.

Lin Ran was already sure that the man in front of him was the factory owner.

Rumor has it that he did not cause the factory to close due to management problems, but simply because the products were out of date.

"The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. If one road doesn't work, just change it." Lin Ran said.

He said these words not to persuade the other party to give up the stone in front of him, but from the bottom of his heart.

"To put it simply, I am still in arrears with workers' wages, and the bank will not grant loans... There are so many ways to go." He seemed to be getting excited.

In times of adversity, it is indeed easy to become extreme.

Lin Ran saw that his mood was not right, so he also picked up a pen and prepared to write down the bidding price on a note paper.

Lin Ran grabbed his wrist.

"Don't you owe all the money? Why are you still gambling?" Lin Ran didn't let him make a bid because he knew the result, but because he would stop any gambler from doing such a thing.

"I can only take a gamble now." The man suddenly felt sad and tears appeared in his eyes.

A man doesn't shed tears lightly, just because he hasn't reached the sad point yet!

Lin Ran could tell that this man was desperate.

However, his ability to participate in this auction means that he still has at least 1 yuan left.

"Wouldn't it be great if you returned the deposit from the auction and used it to start a business?" Lin Ran asked, "It's better than spending all your money on this broken rock."

"I...well, I don't know what business to do now. If I can't get the project, I won't be able to get a loan from the bank, and all the employees of my company will be ruined." It seems that because Lin Ran looks young, he puts him Be someone you can talk to.

Lin Ran also temporarily forgot about the bidding, and continued to persuade: "There are so many projects in the world, why bother to constrain your own thoughts?"

"Alas, little brother, I don't know. There are too many competitors in antiques and jewelry. Without huge capital flow, I can't beat them."

antique?Jewelry?

Lin Ran felt a little strange. Isn't he the factory owner?Why does he look like he owns a shop?

So he asked out of curiosity: "What did you do before?"

"I opened an antique store before, but rich people wanted to buy antiques, but young people didn't like them. I couldn't make ends meet for two months. I invested 3 yuan in this store to open it. Now that I'm selling it out, I'm afraid. You'll have to die."

He muttered, "Besides, the employees' wages have not been paid for the past two months."

It seemed that he had really encountered difficulties, and his mood became more depressed.

An art store?

"It's weird to open a cultural and entertainment store in a place like Ruili without losing money." Lin Ran said, "In a border city like this, it's okay to open hotels and inns to receive tourists, or make some souvenirs to sell, but it's too much to think about opening a cultural and entertainment store. .”

"I'm not opening a store in Ruili, but in Kuncheng. I just came to participate in the original trading conference." The man said. He and Lin Ran had already started chatting. He forced a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Wu Hua. He is the store manager of Four Seasons Cultural Games in Kuncheng."

This antique store was a bit unfamiliar to Lin Ran. It was probably a small shop.

I was just going to say a few words of comfort, but suddenly another idea came to my mind!

"Brother Wu, I wonder if you have ever learned about handicrafts?"
