The moment he stepped out of the door of Uncle Luo's house, Chen Ran's heart beat irrepressibly and suddenly, pounding, as if his heart was about to jump out of his heart. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

Glancing at the ivory birdcage in his hand, Chen Ran took a deep breath and stabilized his mind, before he gradually got out of the slightly excited feelings, 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.

The call was answered by Chen Xiaomei.

"Brother, these people are really annoying, Lai is in our house and just won't leave, saying that you won't pay them back even if you earn money, and you've been arguing with your mother." After the phone was connected, Chen Xiaomei complained to Chen Ran on the phone.

"Where's our dad?"

Chen Ran sighed and then asked.

"My dad had a quarrel with them, and then we took the car to the city!"

Hearing Chen Xiaomei's answer, Chen Ran's heart suddenly sank, he didn't expect him to be a step late, shook his head, and stopped talking to Chen Xiaomei.

hung up the phone, Chen Ran hurriedly called Chen Ping again.

This is the first time Chen Ran has called his father since he got a mobile phone, although the number has always been kept in the phone book!

The phone rang for a long time, and Chen Ran also thought about it for a long time, until the phone was connected, he hurriedly straightened his mind and shouted out the dusty title: "Dad, where are you?" ”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before 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 to answer, and continued: "Dad, don't go, I've already got the money, I'll call home in a while!" ”

Chen Ran's words suddenly silenced the other end, and it took a long time for Chen Ping to ask unconvincedly, "Really?" ”

"Well, I've got it, but the money hasn't arrived yet, so I'll have to wait a while." Chen Ping didn't ask Chen Ran how he got the money, but Chen Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, or he was really hard to explain, after all, if he got another antique, it would be a little too different, although in fact it was exactly the case.

"How long will it take?"

"Two hours at the latest!"

After being silent for a long time, Chen Ping replied: "Then I'll wait for you in the city for two hours." ”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Ran couldn't help but exhale lightly, in two hours, he would almost be able to transfer the ivory birdcage, and at that time, although it was still a little short, but with the 20,000 at home, it could at least be relieved.

"Master, go to the Blue Sky Apartment in the North Ring!"

Time was pressing, 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!" While starting the taxi, the driver turned his head and glanced at the red sunflower bird in Chen Ran's arms, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful bird.

"Red Sunflower Bird!"

Chen Ran thought about how to dispose of the ivory bird cage, and he was a little absent-minded.

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

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

The surface of the birdcage was worn out and unpresentable, and the ivory strips were yellow and brown. Bird food jars, water jars, bird bars, etc. are also a little old, but it can be seen that the workmanship is still very exquisite.

After looking at the birdcage, Chen Ran went to see the red sleeves again. The red sleeves are about 30 centimeters long, the body of the bird is white with a little light red, the crown of the head is pink, the inner side of the wings is relatively light pink, the inner side of the tail is orange, the beak is black, and the eyes have light blue circles around the eyes, giving people a majestic momentum as a whole.

For the red sleeves, Chen Ran has already made a silent decision in his heart, if he is not forced to do so, he will not sell the red sleeves, he will leave the red sleeves and send them to Uncle Luo after the break, which can be regarded as a surprise for Uncle Luo.

Since it was the first period of getting off work, there were a lot of cars on the road, and it would have been only more than ten minutes away, but it took more than 20 minutes for the taxi to pull Chen Ran to the Blue Sky Apartment, and Chen Ran wasted so much time in vain.

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

Apples are naturally not for Chen Ran to eat, but for Red Sleeves. As soon as he threw the apple into the birdcage, Redsleeves pounced, and under his mouth, there was a deep pit in the apple. The red sunflower bird looks beautiful, but in fact it is a harmful species.

Like apples and the like, it loves to eat, and the most popular one is coconut.

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

Now the 10,000 yuan in his hand is almost spent, the ivory birdcage is about 70,000 or 80,000, plus the 20,000 at home, that is, about 100,000, and half of the 150,000 is still half away.

……

"Boss, birdcage, do you want to take it?"

When Chen Ran rushed to 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.

"Birdcage?" The boss at the counter was stunned, but when he saw the red sunflower bird, his eyes lit up: "This is the bird you raised?" If you want to sell it, it looks very beautiful, whether you sell it or not, I'll give you a good price. ”

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

"Huh." As soon as the boss saw Chen Ran's face, he knew that Chen Ran was an understanding person, so he immediately smiled and covered it up for a while, and then said to Chen Ran again: "You raised this red sunflower bird?" Do you want to sell? ”

"Please ask for a price!" Although Chen Ran decided not to sell the red sleeves until he was forced to do so, he also wanted to know how much the red sleeves were worth.

"It looks good, but the hair is a little curly." The boss frowned as he looked down at the red sleeves. Chen Ran knew that he wanted to lower the price, so he didn't squeak.

"I'll give you five thousand!" The boss looked at it for four or five minutes before he sighed and handed Chen Ran the price, as if he had suffered a lot from this price, as if Chen Ran had taken a big advantage.

Chen Ran was noncommittal, without saying a word, he picked up the birdcage and walked out, this boss was too black-hearted, and Chen Ran didn't want him to see the birdcage, now he was short of money, naturally the more he sold, the better, and this boss obviously wouldn't give him a good price, and it would save him a waste of time.

"Hey, little brother, don't go, the price is negotiable, you let me see it again......" The boss obviously didn't expect Chen Ran to turn around and leave, and hurriedly chased him out of the counter, but unfortunately when he chased out the door, Chen Ran had already disappeared, which made him regret it.

After asking such a store, Chen Ran directly gave up his plan to enter the next store and ask again. After reading so many collected books, he also learned that whether it is a flower and bird pet shop or other antique shops, if you don't know any acquaintances, it is always the buyer and seller who suffers, not the shop.

The way of doing business is to sell low and high!

Fiercely lower the price when receiving things, and raise the price fiercely when selling things, which has formed a routine in the antique industry, and it is basically impossible for Chen Ran to sell them at a good price in these stores.

In terms of antiques, Chen Ran didn't know many people, and only Gao Qiang was familiar with him, so he had to call Gao Qiang again, and from the phone, he could hear that Gao Qiang should be busy, and he could even hear the siren.

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

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

When he arrived at the greenhouse area, there were a lot of antique shop owners who came up to him and asked him if he sold the red sleeves, Chen Ran said that he raised them himself, and he didn't plan to sell them, so they didn't hand over the price, but looked around the red sleeves, and in the end, these bosses exchanged contact information for Chen Ran, and even invited Chen Ran to their house to see their collections or pets.

Although this is just an insignificant trifle, it gave Chen Ran a lot of emotion!

If he didn't have red sleeves, I'm afraid these bosses would ignore him, and now that he has red sleeves, these bosses put him in the same position, although he may not be able 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 he said goodbye to these bosses and left the greenhouse, Chen Ran was still thinking about what happened just now, and he suddenly felt that the antique line was actually nothing more than that, before entering the industry, he always felt unfathomable, and when he entered this industry, it was actually still those things, but he just changed some people.

Thinking about it, Chen Ran was suddenly stunned!

He suddenly realized that he was now a member of the collecting world.

He had never thought of this before, and although he had already set foot in the world of antiques, he had always regarded himself as an outsider for so long, and he always felt as if the collection of antiques was far away from him.

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

……

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 mystery that covered the antique industry was also gently revealed.

It's a chaotic industry.

or boast to themselves, or flatter each other; or high-minded, or whispering; Or bullying the market, or telling the truth...... Wait a minute.

So, how do you deal with this chaotic industry?

Chen Ran unconsciously fell into contemplation......

"Brake with stillness, watch its changes, respond to all changes with the same, and see its essence through the appearance of camouflage. White is white, black is black, the essence is unchanged, what changes is the appearance, and the chaotic world is dealt with with with a calm mind. ”

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

Yes, brake with static, wait and see how it changes, and respond to all changes with no change......

No matter how turbulent the waves are outside, my heart is as calm as water! 、

Chen Ran thought so......

……

The change of mentality, the sudden epiphany, Chen Ran can't see anything on the surface, on the surface he is still like this, becoming just a heart!

The heart is as calm as water!

No matter how turbulent the waves are outside, my heart is as calm as water!

Chen Ran suddenly had a feeling that whether it was antiques or his entire life, he had stepped into a higher level of realm that he had never imagined......

Now it's all about how far he can go in this uncharted territory!
