The moment he stepped out of the door of Uncle Luo's house, Chen Ran's heart beat suddenly and uncontrollably, thumping, as if the heart was about to jump out of his heart.

Glancing at the ivory birdcage in his hand, Chen Ran took a deep breath, calmed down, and then gradually broke away from the slightly agitated emotions, and his beating heart gradually stabilized.

After calming down, Chen Ran walked to the side of the road, took out his mobile phone and called home.

Chen Xiaomei answered the phone.

"Brother, these people are really annoying. They stay at our house and don't leave. They say you won't pay them back the money you earned. You've been arguing with Mom." After the call was connected, Chen Xiaomei complained to Chen Ran on the phone. .

"Where's our dad?"

Chen Ranen let out a sigh, and then asked.

"Our dad quarreled with them, and then went to the city by car!"

Hearing Chen Xiaomei's answer, Chen Ran's heart sank suddenly. He didn't expect that he was a step too late, so he shook his head and stopped talking to Chen Xiaomei.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran hurriedly called Chen Ping again.

This is the first time Chen Ran called his father after he got a mobile phone, even though the number has been kept in the phone book!

The phone rang for a long time, and Chen Ran also thought about it for a long time. It was not until the phone was connected that he quickly gathered his mind and called out the long-lost name: "Dad, where are you?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then the familiar voice came: "I just arrived in the city."

"Dad, are you going to Uncle's house?" Chen Ran didn't wait for Chen Ping's answer, and went on to say, "Dad, don't go, I have already collected the money, and I will call home after a while." go back!"

Chen Ran's words silenced the other end, and it took a long time before Chen Ping asked incredulously, "Really?"

"Well, it's already been collected, but the money hasn't arrived yet, so we have to wait a while." Chen Ping didn't ask how Chen Ran got the money, but Chen Ran was secretly relieved, or else he really It's hard to explain, after all, it would be too strange to say that he got another antique, even though it was true.

"how much time is required?"

"Two hours at the latest!"

After another long silence, Chen Ping replied, "Then I'll wait for you in the city for two hours."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief. In two hours, he would be able to transfer the ivory birdcage. At that time, although it was still a little short, but with the [-] at home, at least it would be worth it. I can relax.

"Master, go to Beihuan Blue Sky Apartment!"

Time was running out, Chen Ran didn't dare to delay, and immediately stopped a taxi and got in.

"Little brother, what kind of bird is this? It looks very beautiful!" The driver turned his head and glanced at the red sunflower bird in Chen Ran's arms while starting the taxi. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful bird. Woolen cloth.

"Red sunflower bird!"

Chen Ran was a little absent-minded as he thought about how to get rid of the ivory birdcage.

"It's pretty, and it's worth a lot of money!" The driver master had never heard of a bird like Hongkui, so he didn't dare to ask more questions because he was afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Chen Ran nodded, and also looked down into his arms. His eyes were naturally different from those of the driver. The first thing he looked at was not the red sunflower bird, but the bird cage.Now that he was getting closer, he could really see this ivory tortoiseshell birdcage from the Qing Dynasty clearly.

On the surface, the birdcage was dilapidated and unrecognizable, the ivory strips were yellow and brown.Bird food cans, water tanks, bird bars, etc. are also a little old, but it can be seen that the workmanship is still very delicate.

After looking at the birdcage, Chen Ran went to look at Hongxiu again.The length of the red sleeve is about 30 centimeters. The body of the bird is white with a little light red color, the crest is pink, the inside of the wings is relatively light pink, and the inside of the tail is orange. , the bird's beak is black, and there are light blue eye circles around the eyes, giving people a majestic aura as a whole.

As for the red sleeves, Chen Ran had already made a silent decision in his heart. He would not sell the red sleeves until the moment he had to. Surprise for Uncle Luo.

Since it is the high tide period of getting off work, there are so many cars on the road. It took more than 20 minutes for the taxi to take Chen Ran to the Lantian apartment, and it was a waste of time for Chen Ran. Such a long time.

After paying the bill and getting out of the car, Chen Ran rushed home, first went to the refrigerator and found a red apple, which he had when he moved in.

Naturally, the apples were not for Chen Ran, but for Hong Xiu.Throwing the apple into the birdcage, Hongxiu pounced on it, and with one bite, a deep hole was formed on the apple.The red sunflower bird looks beautiful, but in fact it is a harmful species.

Like apples, it likes to eat, and the favorite to steal is coconut.

Chen Ran found another plastic bag, and put the pear wood pen holder and Buddhist scriptures he found from Lao Huang's house into it. Although these two things are not very valuable, they should add up to about three or four thousand.

Now the 15 in his hand is almost spent, and the ivory birdcage is about [-] to [-]. Adding the [-] at home, it is about [-], which is half of the [-]. Can you make up more? Just make up more.

"Boss, do you want to accept the birdcage?"

When Chen Ran arrived at the flower and bird market in the antique city, it was already past seven o'clock. Many flower and bird pet shops were closed, and there were only a few left. Chen Ran found a well-decorated store and walked in.

"Bird cage?" The boss at the counter was taken aback, but when he saw the red sunflower bird, his eyes lit up: "This is your bird? It's for sale. It looks pretty. Can you sell it?" Sell ​​it, and I'll give you a good price."

Chen Ran frowned, the red sunflower is of course worth a good price.

"Hehe." Looking at Chen Ran's face, the boss knew that Chen Ran was a sensible person. He immediately covered it up with a smile, and then said to Chen Ran: "You raised this red sunflower bird? Do you want to sell it?" ?"

"Please ask for a price!" Although Chen Ran decided not to sell the red sleeve unless he had to, he also wanted to know how much the red sleeve was worth.

"It looks good, but the 'hair' is a bit curly." The boss frowned while looking down at the red sleeve.Chen Ran knew that he wanted to lower the price, so he didn't say anything.

"I'll give you five thousand!" The boss looked at it for four or five minutes before handing over the price to Chen Ran with a sigh, as if he was at a disadvantage at this price, as if Chen Ran had taken advantage of it.

Chen Ran was noncommittal, without further ado, he brought up the birdcage and walked out. The boss was too cruel, and Chen Ran didn't want him to see the birdcage. Now that he was short of money, the more he could sell, the better. And this boss obviously won't give him a good price, and save his time.

"Hey, little brother, don't go, the price is negotiable, let me have a look..." The boss obviously didn't expect Chen Ran to turn around and leave, and hurriedly chased him out from the counter, but it was a pity that he waited for him to chase out the door. By then, Chen Ran had disappeared, which made him regret it.

After asking about such a store, Chen Ran directly gave up the plan to go to the next store and ask again.After reading so many collected books, he also understood that whether it is a flower and bird pet store or other antique stores, if he doesn't know any acquaintances, it will always be the buyers and sellers who suffer, not the store.

The way to operate a store is to charge low and sell high!

It has become a common practice in the antique industry to severely lower prices when collecting things and raise prices when selling things. It is basically impossible for Chen Ran to get a good price in these shops.

In terms of antiques, Chen Ran didn't know many people, and Gao Qiang was the only one he was familiar with. In the end, he had to call Gao Qiang again. From the phone, he could hear that Gao Qiang was probably busy, and he could even hear the siren Voice.

This made Chen Ran a little embarrassed to open his mouth, but Gao Qiang asked him directly where he was, and asked Chen Ran to wait for him for half an hour and have dinner together later, and Chen Ran naturally agreed.

Chen Ran didn't leave the antique city either, so he went to the shed area to have a casual look.

When we arrived at the shed area, quite a few antique shop owners came up to ask him if the red sleeves were for sale. Chen Ran said that he raised them himself and didn't intend to sell them, so they didn't offer a price, but looked around the red sleeves. They went, and at the end, these bosses exchanged contact information with Chen Ran, and even invited Chen Ran to their home to see their collections or pets.

Although it was just a trivial matter, it gave Chen Ran a lot of emotion!

If he didn't wear red sleeves, I'm afraid these bosses would ignore him, but now that he is wearing red sleeves, these bosses put him in the same position. Although it may not be possible to do business in the future, but It can be regarded as a potential stock, at least he is regarded as a like-minded Tibetan friend.

When bidding farewell to these bosses and leaving the shed, Chen Ran was still thinking about what happened just now. He suddenly felt that the antique business was actually nothing more than that. Those things are just changing some people.

After thinking about it, Chen Ran suddenly froze!

He suddenly discovered that he himself is now a member of the collection circle.

Before this, he had never thought of this. Even though he had been involved in the antique world for a long time, he had always regarded himself as an outsider for such a long time, and always felt that the collection of antiques seemed to be far away from him. similarly.

But now he suddenly woke up to the fact that he had already stepped into the world of antiques unknowingly.

After realizing that he was already a member of the antique industry, Chen Ran went to look at the antique industry again, and he found that the mysterious veil covering the antique industry had also been gently lifted.

This is a chaotic industry.

Or bragging, or flattering each other; or talking, or whispering; or bullying, or telling the truth and so on.

So, in this chaotic industry, how should I deal with it?

Chen Ran unknowingly fell into deep thought... "Stop with stillness, observe the changes quietly, respond to all changes with the same, see the essence through the disguised appearance. White is white, black is black, the essence is What remains the same, what changes is the appearance, and deal with the chaotic world with a calm mind."

Like a flash of inspiration, or a sudden epiphany, such a passage suddenly appeared in Chen Ran's mind.

Yes, brake with stillness, watch the changes quietly, and respond to all changes with the same... Even if the waves are rough outside, my heart is as calm as water!

Chen Ran was thinking like this... A change in mentality, a sudden epiphany, Chen Ran can't see anything on the surface, but he is still the same on the surface, becoming just a heart!

calm at heart!

Even if the waves are rough outside, I am as calm as water!

Chen Ran suddenly had a feeling that whether it was about antiques or his entire life, he had stepped into a higher level, a field he had never imagined... The key now is that he can be in this unknown world. How far in the field!
