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

Chapter 608: The past and future are in your pocket!

"You also knew just now that my adopted son Zhang Zhenqiang likes to make -" Zhang Fengyu paused and said with a smile, "making handicrafts."

He said this suddenly, making Lin Ran a little confused.

Just like when he first came in for appraisal.

Zhang Fengyu looked at Lin Ran and continued along with the topic: "I saw rumors about Shengshi Crafts in the newspaper earlier and learned that you are a chain store that sells handicrafts. Is this true?"

Seeing Lin Ran nodding, he asked again: "What kind of handicrafts does your store currently sell?"

"Ceramics, wood carvings, bronzes, calligraphy and painting." Lin Ran thought about it in his mind.

At present, these are the types of goods they have. He frowned. Could it be that Zhang Fengyu also wants to do the handicraft business?

Why do you think the jewelry business is more profitable than the handicraft business?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fengyu suddenly said: "Have you ever thought about making jade carving handicrafts?"

Lin Ran was startled when he heard this, and saw Zhang Zhenqiang also stood up and said seriously: "Master Lin, I wonder if your shop is still recruiting craftsmen?"

Lin Ran had already seen his level of jade craftsmanship. Considering his age, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a genius in jade imitation today.

If he hadn't taken precautions, the previous jade would have fooled him.

This miraculous skill can actually be passed down.

He also actively asked to join his shop. How could Lin Ran refuse such a good thing?

However, Lin Ran was not a newbie, and the other party must have something up his sleeve!

Therefore, he said in a difficult tone: "The materials used in our factory so far are all cheap raw materials such as clay and quartz stone. The price of jade is expensive. I'm afraid we can't afford the cost."

If you want to develop a jade business, it is basically equivalent to opening a jewelry store, which requires high cash flow.

"Don't worry about this. If my adopted son works in your store, I don't mind cooperating with you. You can wait until the goods are sold before settling the payment." Zhang Fengyu said generously.

Zheng Xueming smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, your adopted son is staying well at home, why do you want to work so far away from the capital?"

He saw Lin Ran's difficulty, and since it was inconvenient for Lin Ran to mention it, he took the initiative to speak out.

I thought Zhang Fengyu would shirk, but Zhang Zhenqiang actually stood up on his own initiative.

"Actually, my real name is not Zhang Zhenqiang, but Tang Zhenqiang. I am the seventh generation descendant of Tang Zhongtang."

The first medicine jar was not a fake, but a treasure passed down from his ancestors.

So Lin Ran went to smell the smell inside without his permission, which made him very dissatisfied.

Lin Ran and Zheng Xueming were extremely surprised to learn about his life experience.

"I haven't heard any news about Tang Zhongtang in the capital, and I thought it had been lost."

"Do you want to know why our family is in such decline?" Zhang Zhenqiang sneered.

Originally, Tang Zhongtang was running a small pharmacy in the capital. He refused the invitation of the court and only wanted to provide help to the common people.

Life is a bit tight, but life is still somewhat fun.

But one night, Tang Zhongtang found a woman outside the hospital who had broken a brick and was bleeding profusely. Her hands and feet were covered with bruises and bloodstains.

He hurriedly brought the person into the hospital for treatment, but it was too late!

She has turned into a corpse.

By chance, a group of soldiers poured into the medical center at this time and encountered what was going on.

They took Tang Zhongtang away without explanation and was sentenced to intentional homicide.

The local people who were thinking of him interceded for him, and he was exempted from the death penalty.

But he was still sent to the border. From then on, Tang Zhongtang stopped practicing medicine and passed away soon.

His descendants could only work as coolies, and even though they were not spared, they were still hunted by thieves.

In order to survive, they finally left China and left their hometown for Myanmar.

Zhang Zhenqiang said with a sigh: "Actually, I am not a pure Chinese, I still have Burmese blood. My master is a master of jade carving, but I am not interested in jade. I prefer Chinese Hetian jade, so The carving techniques for nephrite and jadeite are similar, so I returned to China and relied on this technique to make a living."

When he described the story, he deliberately used a calmer tone.

But you can still hear the reluctance in his tone.

The master he was talking about was probably not a master of jade carving, but a master of forgery!

Lin Ran didn't expose it, he just kept these words in his heart.

"I don't understand, what does that have to do with joining our Shengshi Crafts?" Lin Ran became even more confused.

With his level of craftsmanship, there would be more room for him to stay in the Zhang family, which is engaged in the jewelry business.

Carving one or two jade cultural relics casually and selling them to rich people is much more valuable than selling them as handicrafts.

Zhang Zhenqiang didn't know how to answer for a while, but Zhang Fengyu smiled and spoke.

"It's like this. In fact, the thief was the doctor who drove the Tang family out of the capital and then monopolized the pharmacy business in the capital." He took a sip of red wine and said with a smile, "There is a rumor that they are still hanging around in Beijing. I don't know. Have you ever heard of the Liu family in the capital?"

Liu family?

Lin Ran took a breath of air.

What a great Liu family. It turns out that our ancestors are so shameless. No wonder they do things unscrupulously.

Zheng Xueming naturally knew about the conflict between Shengshi Craftsmanship and the Liu family. He asked, "What does your son want to do when he returns to the capital? Revenge?"

"Don't worry, I'm not asking him to take revenge, but to let him see how the world is different." Zhang Fengyu said, "If I really want to take revenge, I will definitely find a way to trick them from the capital to Ruili. Those illegal immigrants here are The elements are so ruthless."

Zhang Zhenqiang also gave the reason after deep thought.

"I just want to fulfill my father's last wish, return to the place where my ancestors lived, and start a new life."

"That's probably what happened." Zhang Fengyu smiled, and it was obvious that there were many stories about them, and it would be difficult to explain them clearly in a thousand words.

However, even it gave Lin Ran a reason to accept it.

"Okay, our handicraft shop can accept you, but we have to agree on three rules. What is made is a handicraft, and it must be marked. It must not be fake and the real thing will destroy the market."

Lin Ran decided to make a three-part agreement with him.

Zhang Zhenqiang nodded heavily and agreed: "Then there will be little Lao Lin."

"You still call me a little master, call me boss." Zhang Fengyu joked.

"Yes, there is Boss Laurin."

Of course Lin Ran would be happy to subdue a master of jade counterfeiting!

The value of the other party does not lie in the production of handicrafts.

It's about the jade artifacts that have been exiled abroad, but they are not familiar with them now, so we need to talk about this part of the plan for some time. The character of the participants must be trustworthy!
