Jin Yutong

Chapter 318

Chen Ran and Bai Lei rushed to Binhai International Airport together. Bai Lei flew to the capital, and Chen Ran flew to Nanjing. When they arrived at Nanjing Lukou International Airport, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

When he arrived in Nanjing, Chen Ran didn't care about rest, and immediately rushed to Nanjing Tianming Auction House. Although the Huashen Cup appeared in the auction house, it often attracted many people to participate in the bidding, but because Nanjing Tianming Auction House only had one Only, relatively speaking, there are much fewer people bidding.

After several battles, this peony cup was finally taken by Chen Ran at a price of 38.

After taking the peony cup, Chen Ran immediately called to inquire about Bai Lei's situation. Bai Lei told Chen Ran on the phone that he had already contacted the owner of the auction. It shouldn't be a problem to win it, but it might take a little more time. Money, because I don't know who leaked the news to the auctioneer, and the auctioneer is trying to figure it out, presumably wanting to raise the price.

Hearing what he said, Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he can win it, it doesn't matter if he spends more money.

As soon as Chen Ran arrived in Hangzhou from Nanjing, he received a call from Bai Lei. When the call was connected, Bai Lei told him excitedly that he had already got two Huashen Cups, and it cost him 88 in total.

Chen Ran is quite satisfied, the price is not outrageous, because the price of a magnolia cup is between 30 and 40, and the price of an orchid cup is around 50.

Apart from anything else, Chen Ran wanted to visit his bank account and transferred 90 to him directly. Bai Lei, who received a text message from the bank, called and told Chen Ran with a smile that this trip was not in vain and that he got 2 Ten thousand yuan for running errands.

Chen Ran laughed and scolded him for being worthless, and said that he would buy you for 2 yuan. After laughing and scolding, he told him to put away the cups, so that there was no mistake, and then asked him to contact the antique shop as soon as possible.

Bai Lei smiled and said that it is up to you to explain it, and the cup will be stored in the bank directly after receiving it... Chen Ran nodded. In fact, he is not as good as this kid in terms of experience in this area. After all, this kid is in the antique business. There is much more time than him.

After Bai Lei agreed to come down, he asked Chen Ran why he still took all those cups. Chen Ran said it was useful, and Bai Lei smiled and asked if he wanted to take them all and auction them together at that time.

He didn't think that Chen Ran wanted to collect seven sets, but he thought that Chen Ran wanted to collect all the Huashen cups, and then he would directly hold an auction of the Huashen cups, just like the Xuande furnace that Mr. Wang Shixiang built. The auction house, before this, the Xuande furnace collection market was not very hot, but Mr. Wang Shixiang set up this Xuande furnace auction house and it became an instant hit. Bai Lei thought that Chen Ran was going to do the same. The sensation caused by the Huashen Cup, and the auction of the other cups collected will definitely be able to quarrel the price of the Huashen Cup, so that even if the high price is collected, it will not lose money.

Chen Ran didn't answer him, since he thought so, let him think so first.

After hanging up Bai Lei's phone call, Chen Ran found a restaurant to have something to eat first, then hired a taxi and rushed to Yuhang, the countryside of Hangzhou.

What Chen Ran is looking for this time is principal Cheng, a vice principal of Shanghu Primary School in Yuhang, Hangzhou. According to Bai Lao, this principal Cheng has four flower god cups in his collection.

I drove to the entrance of Shanghu Elementary School, and the process went smoothly. After some inquiries, I contacted the principal Cheng. The principal Cheng was quite enthusiastic about Chen Ran, but it was a pity that Chen Ran brought up the Huashen Cup. He was told that he had already given it away.

Although Chen Ran was a little helpless, he had no choice but to ask who the other party gave it to, but Principal Cheng didn't hide it from him and told him the truth.

Principal Cheng retired from the army, and the four Flora Cups he collected were given to four of his comrades in arms.

After getting the detailed contact information of Principal Cheng's four comrades-in-arms, Chen Ran left Shanghu Elementary School and contacted Principal Cheng's four comrades-in-arms respectively.

The Flower God Cup was given by Principal Cheng. On the phone, they were not willing to sell it. Even so, Chen Ran did not give up. He rushed to the two local families in Hangzhou. The financial conditions of these two families were not very good. In particular, one of the family was in urgent need of money. After spending a lot of time, they took back two cups. These two cups were a magnolia cup and a chrysanthemum cup, which cost a total of 75 yuan.

After resting in Hangzhou for a day, Chen Ran rushed to Nanchang. After some twists and turns, he took back another plum blossom cup, which cost 48 yuan. So far, the four flower god cups collected by Principal Cheng have been taken back by Chen Ran for three years. Only, the remaining one was helpless, because he was in the Lanzhou Military Region, which was too far away, and his attitude was quite tough. After telling him not to sell, Chen Ran couldn't be contacted, and finally Can only give up this one.

Although there have been several twists and turns, the result is still satisfactory, much better than Bai Lei's side. Until now, Bai Lei's side has not made much progress.

Crazy Yang had seven, one in Nanjing, and three in Hangzhou. With these eleven Huashen cups, Chen Ran drove from Nanchang to Fuzhou by train.

While on the road, Chen Ran received a call from Mr. Ma. Mr. Ma said that he had been inquiring about the Huashen Cup for Chen Ran for the past two days, and he found out a lot, but most of them were unwilling. Fortunately, the old man begged Chen Ran for two with his thin noodles.

Although there were only two of them, Chen Ran was already very satisfied, and one of them was a hibiscus cup, which made him even more delighted. After thanking the old man for hanging up the phone, he quickly called Bai Lei.

The two Flora cups that the old man begged for are still in the capital. He called Bai Lei and asked the boy to take out the two Flora cups. When he arrived in Fuzhou, he transferred another one hundred and five to the boy. Wan, except for one hibiscus cup, the other two are lotus cups.

The collection of Huashen cups is increasing, and Chen Ran's savings are also becoming less and less. So far, he has spent more than 1000 million.

Although it cost so much, Chen Ran didn't feel distressed at all. Even if he didn't collect all seven sets of these Huashen cups in exchange, he would definitely not lose them.

After eating some food in Fuzhou, Chen Ran took the box with the Huashen Cup and drove to the home of Mr. Guo, who lived in Guling Township, Fuzhou. Mr. Guo was also a famous collector in China. The seniority is even older, he is a figure of Mr. Shi's generation. He has been living in the old house in Fuzhou when he is old. Mr. Bai is also Mr. Guo who he made friends with when he was young. When they pass through Fuzhou, they will come to visit Mr. Guo. According to Mr. Bai, Mr. Guo has six flower cups in his collection.

"died?"

Mr. Guo's residence is easy to find. It is next to a small hill. There are only two or three houses in this area. When Chen Ran rushed here, he saw an aunt who was repairing flowers and plants on the roadside lawn, so he went over and asked, who is it? Knowing that such a result was obtained.

"The old man went away at the end of his life. He just celebrated his 90th birthday a few days ago. He just had a white wedding..." Hearing that he was looking for Mr. Guo, the aunt chatted with Chen Ran non-stop. Ran had to interrupt her and asked which yard belonged to Mr. Guo's house.

The aunt pointed to Chen Ran and said that you will know when you walk over to have a look. There are several cars parked at the door. After Chen Ran thanked her, she walked over.

The houses in this area are all old houses of certain ages. After turning a corner, Chen Ran saw a few cars parked at the gate of a yard, which should be this house.

The gate of the yard was open, and there were several people talking in the yard. Chen Ran walked in directly, and when he saw Chen Ran coming in, the people talking in the yard stopped and looked towards Chen Ran.

One of them, a middle-aged man in his 30s, greeted Chen Ran and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Old Mr. Guo had already passed away, and Chen Ran didn't hide his intention of coming, he just said that he was here to collect antiques.

"Collecting antiques? There are no antiques in the house, and the old man donated all the antiques." Hearing that Chen Ran came to collect antiques, the middle-aged man said angrily, ignored Chen Ran, turned around and walked back .

All donated?

Chen Ran was taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile. Needless to say, if he donated it, he would definitely donate it to the museum, and then he would be useless. Although it was a pity, there was no other way.

After glancing at it, Chen Ran sighed lightly, turned around and left without further words, but when he was about to walk out of the gate, he suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Chen Ran's gaze was attracted by a table placed at the gate. To be precise, what attracted his attention should be the things on the table.

This is a small red lacquered table, or it looks like a bedside table. There is a coffee table on the table. Besides a teapot, there are several teacups on the coffee table.

Chen Ran's gaze was attracted by these teacups, because these teacups were obviously Huashen cups.

How is this going?

Could it be that the Huashen cup collected by Mr. Guo was not donated, or was it missed?

Chen Ran stared blankly at these teacups, and after staring at them for a long time, he let out a sigh of relief. He looked back at the people talking in the yard, and walked to the small table hesitantly.

There were only four Flora cups on the small table. Chen Ran looked at it, but it was a little strange. Three of the four Flora cups were rose cups, and one was a chrysanthemum cup.

No, according to what Mr. Bai said, there are no duplicates of the six Huashen cups collected by Mr. Guo?

Chen Ran shook his head strangely...
