Jin Yutong

Chapter 315

After receiving the phone call from Bai Lao, Chen Ran was immediately refreshed, and quickly asked for details. After asking, he found out that Hanhai Auction House had received the task of auctioning a pair of Huashen cups this morning. The god cup has been identified as the February magnolia cup and the July orchid cup among the multicolored flower god cups in the Kangxi period.

Bai Lao didn't know that Chen Ran already had an orchid cup, so he thought that these two cups were the ones that Chen Ran lacked at the moment, so as soon as he received the news, he quickly called Chen Ran.

Chen Ran who got the news was naturally very happy. While happy, he was also surprised by Bai Lao's well-informed.

The Hanhai Auction House received the auction task in the morning, so the auction house must not have started to promote the pair of Flower God Cups. In this case, the pair of Flower God Cups are undoubtedly still in a state of secrecy. I have already got the news, from here we can see how extensive Bailao's contacts are.

Chen Ran didn't have much contact with auction houses, so I can't say that he didn't have much contact with them, but from the beginning to the end, he basically didn't have much contact with them. The incident with Bai Lao reminded him that he should also deal with some auction houses. Speaking of other benefits, just talking about the present, it can be seen that the auction house is almost all antiques, and naturally the news is better... The pair of Huashen cups in the Hanhai Auction House have not yet decided on the auction date , but the auction time will be at least two weeks later. After all, it needs to be publicized for a while. It was auctioned on the Flower God Cup, and it was transferred to him directly, and he paid the auction house's handling fee.

Bai Lao replied that it might be a bit difficult, after all, the auction house also relied on these famous antiques to increase its popularity, but Bai Lao said that he would try his best to negotiate and asked Chen Ran to wait for the call.

After hanging up Mr. Bai's call, Chen Ran took out his mobile phone and looked through the phone book, and found the phone number of his old classmate Jiang Tao. Jiang Tao is the vice president of Dingsheng Auction House Tianzhong City. Have some connections.

Dingsheng Auction House is the largest auction house in the Central Plains. Although it is not as good as those big auction houses in Beijing and Shanghai in China, it is also quite famous.

Mr. Bai's phone call not only made Chen Ran realize that he needed to make some connections with auction houses, but also realized that the Huashen cups he was looking for were seven sets, not seven. The important thing is that even if he collects all the Huashen cups that Bai Lao told him and recorded in his notebook, it is obviously not enough to collect seven sets. .

After passing through the eight cups in Liushu Village, Chen Ran also realized that the Huashen cups are not all in the hands of the older generation of collectors that Bai Lao said, and there are also folk wanderings, but these collectors are not well-known outsiders I don't know, just ask around, and you should be able to find out.

Chen Ran found out Jiang Tao's phone number and called it. First, he asked him if he had any news about it, and asked him to keep an eye on it when he found out.

With Chen Ran's current status in the antique world, he is naturally a person who is befriended and wooed by major auction houses, so Jiang Tao readily agreed and said that he would try his best to find out for him.

Chen Ran not only contacted Jiang Tao, but also called Mr. Ma to inquire about it. When Mr. Ma learned that Chen Ran was collecting colorful flower cups from the Kangxi period, he inevitably scolded him for not doing his job properly. I will help him inquire.

In addition to Mr. Ma, Chen Ran simply contacted Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei... Needless to say, the results of Wang Zhiqing and Liu Lei's side, although they were quite surprised when they heard that Chen Ran was looking for the Flower God Cup, they were all full of mouths I agreed.

"Xiaoran, my friend said that he can't decide not to let the Huashen Cup be auctioned, but he promised me that he can postpone the news of the Huashen Cup for a day. Within these two days, if you go to the capital, he will I will give you the owner's contact information, and then you can negotiate with the owner, as long as the owner agrees, then the problem will not be a big deal."

I made several calls in one breath, and just as soon as I put the phone down, old man Bai called. Although I didn't get the expected answer, it is undoubtedly considered good to be able to do this. Naturally, Chen Ran has no objections. I was grateful in my heart, so I thanked Bai Lao, but in the end, Bai Lao laughed and scolded, making Chen Ran dumbfounded, so he didn't want to be hypocritical at all. Bai Lao helped him too much, just keep it in his heart.

"I said where are we going, ah, I'm so trapped..."

When Bai Lei came back last night, it was past one o'clock in the morning. He felt that he hadn't slept for long, so he was pulled up by Chen Ran. He was dragged by Chen Ran in a taxi all the way until After getting out of the car, I was blown by the cold air before waking up. Seeing the unfamiliar environment in front of me, I asked in a daze, and when I asked, I yawned continuously.

"Who told you to go out and fool around in the middle of the night..."

Chen Ran glared at him angrily. He got up at six o'clock, and immediately woke up this guy. As a result, this guy just dawdled with him for more than an hour. It was more than eight o'clock when they went out. I won't go out.

Bai Lao’s friend postponed the news of the Huashen Cup for a day, so he has to rush to the capital today, so he has no time to spend in Tianjin, so he wants to visit Crazy Yang’s senior brother, After all, he can't just leave without talking to Crazy Yang. Judging from Crazy Yang's situation, Crazy Yang is obviously autistic, and he can't hear him at all, and only him He can only hear that senior brother talking, so Chen Ran is going to ask his senior brother to help him communicate with him and see what he has to say. Put it aside, and wait to see it later.

"I just couldn't sleep and went out for a walk..."

Bai Lei smiled resentfully. Last night he had a massage in the hotel, but he was so angry that he ran to the bar to catch a beautiful woman, but he couldn't catch any after sitting in the middle of the night, so he had to be dissatisfied with his desire. He ran back, and when he talked about it, he was also very depressed.

Chen Ran ignored him, and took him towards the home of Crazy Yang's senior brother. The place where Crazy Yang's senior brother lived was also an old house, but compared with Yang's, the environment was not at the same level.

The houses in this area are all in the same style, with red-painted gates, bluestone slabs paved on the road, stones on the steps, and some grass occasionally grows in the gaps. Full of green plants.

When Chen Ran and Bai Lei arrived here, although the sun was already shining, walking here felt cool.

Seeing the environment of this residential area, Chen Ran was somewhat uncertain. Needless to say, those who live here are obviously not ordinary people. It may be difficult to persuade others to pass on a message, but you have to give it a try. No, that one I can leave directly.

Chen Ran remembered that what Aunt Chen told him was the fourth house in this residential area, and when he reached the door of the fourth house, he knocked on the courtyard door.

"Whose house is this?" By the time he got to the door, Bai Lei was still very surprised. Yesterday, when Chen Ran asked Aunt Chen about the address of Crazy Brother Yang, he didn't pay much attention. This morning he was confused. Not to mention, so he still doesn't know who Chen Ran is taking him to find.

Chen Ran was about to explain to him, when there was a creak, the red-painted door was suddenly pulled open.

Standing at the door was a middle-aged man in his 30s, with a long face and a high nose bridge, wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, as if he was about to go out.

After the middle-aged man opened the door, he looked at Chen Ran and Bai Lei strangely, and then asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, does Old Mr. Yang live here?" The kid Bai Lei was standing by the gate before, so he blocked Chen Ran. When he saw someone coming out, Chen Ran hurriedly pulled the kid away. After coming down, he greeted the middle-aged man.

"Are you looking for my dad?" The middle-aged man didn't have any special expression on his face, but he walked out, waved at Chen Ran and Bai Lei, and said, "My dad is not in good health. let's go back..."

Chen Ran frowned, and opened his mouth to say something, but the middle-aged man directly closed the courtyard door, and gently pushed Chen Ran and Bai Lei, and said impatiently: "Don't be here anymore. , My dad has just been discharged from the hospital, and the doctor told him not to see outsiders, so if you have anything to do, go find someone else."

"If you don't see it, don't see it, push..." Bai Lei, who was standing on the stairs, was suddenly pushed by the middle-aged man, and almost fell down. Coupled with the bad attitude of the middle-aged man, he immediately opened his eyes in dissatisfaction. It's just that before he finished speaking, Chen Ran stopped him.

"sorry for disturbance."

The middle-aged people have said so, and Chen Ran is helpless, alas, I knew it would not be so easy, sighed lightly, pulled the dissatisfied Bai Lei, turned around and was about to leave.

It's just that before they took two steps, a voice from behind stopped them suddenly: "Wait..."
