After all, Lin Han has only been in the mountain city for a few days, and he will not stay in the mountain city for too long in the future. The mountain city is just a part of the journey of life, and it is not suitable to spend too much time on it.

But this does not mean that we cannot expand our antique market in the mountain city. Boss Jin’s antique shop is just an opportunity. Through this opportunity, we can gradually expand the entire antique market.

"Lin Han, what do you want to do?"

Mr. Zhou asked.

"It's not difficult. Let Boss Jin take charge of the antique shop. We just need to get the deed of the antique shop in our hands and let him be the boss of the antique shop. We can then arrange for people to enter the antique shop in the future."

"This way, Boss Jin won't be embarrassed and we can also accumulate certain connections and resources for us."

"Plus, Boss Jin must know more about the antique town and antique market than we do. Having him as our deputy is the best choice at the moment."

"However, we still need to pay attention to the fact that we must have absolute control over Boss Jin and have an understanding of the antique town and antique market. We cannot just rely on the information Boss Jin provides us."

"In addition, Boss Jin has been able to achieve such a level in the antique town. He must have a backer behind him. Even if I don't tell you what to do next, Mr. Zhou, as a businessman, I'm afraid you know more about it than I do."

Before leaving the antique market, Lin Han already had a blueprint for the development of the antique town.

"clear."

"So are we going to the Bai family now?"

Mr. Zhou asked.

After the trip to the antique town, Mr. Zhou was completely convinced of Lin Han's abilities.

Originally, Master Zhou brought Lin Han to the antique town to find out whether Lin Han's treasure appraisal ability had deteriorated. However, now it seems that not only has his ability not deteriorated, but it has improved a lot.

Since the opening of his first antique shop, Lin Han's treasure appraisal ability has been fully demonstrated. His ability to identify gems with a discerning eye is simply beyond the reach of a fringe treasure appraiser like him.

One can tell at a glance the authenticity, age, origin, and even the historical significance behind treasures and antiques. This is simply not something that an ordinary treasure appraisal expert can easily tell.

You know, the job of treasure appraisal is extremely demanding on details, and has extremely high requirements on eyesight, knowledge reserves, observation and judgment, which cannot be easily cultivated overnight.

What's more, it is rare to find someone like Lin Han who can tell whether a treasure is real or not at a glance. Usually, treasure appraisal requires several steps such as looking, touching, choosing and even smelling to effectively determine the authenticity of the treasure.

If Lin Han could easily identify a treasure as a treasure, it would not be surprising. After all, some people have a particularly high degree of familiarity with certain objects, as if they had a natural talent.

Even if Lin Han could pick up a bargain at this time, it could be considered extremely lucky, but Lin Han was different.

Lin Han has a strong ability to identify all kinds of treasures. Whether it is calligraphy and painting, jade, crystal, or porcelain bottle ornaments, he has a certain degree of understanding, which is often very difficult for ordinary people to do.

Therefore, after Lin Han identified the authenticity of several treasures in succession, Master Zhou had already reached a very high level of recognition of Lin Han's ability, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was in awe of him.

So much so that in the end, Lin Han's identification of the Ming Dynasty blue and white lion rolling ball double animal handle plum vase was so logical and meticulous that he completely impressed Master Zhou.

It is hard to imagine, with someone like Lin Han in charge, how he would lose the auction in a few days?

"Go to Bai's house?"

Lin Han asked with some confusion.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Master Zhou asked back.

"Aren't your two families competitors? Why did you go to his house?"

Lin Han asked.

Although Lin Han didn't know the Bai family well, he would be more or less wary of his competitors.

Now, Mr. Zhou took the initiative to bring Lin Han to visit the Bai family. Could there be some fishy conspiracy behind this?

"Indeed, but my Zhou family and the Bai family have been friends for generations. However, there are often business frictions between our two families, so naturally there will be conflicts."

"However, these conflicts will not affect our good relationship. In fact, this auction competition is a plan set up by the elders of the two families to train the abilities of us young people."

"Of course, we young people may become the pillars of the family in the future, so this auction competition will also affect the honor of our two families. Therefore, this auction is also very important to us."

Master Zhou explained to Lin Han.

The Zhou and Bai families are the two major families standing at the top of the mountain city. The Bai family and the Zhou family jointly control most of the economic lifelines of the mountain city. The economy of the mountain city is completely controlled by these two families.

Although the main power of the Zhou family and the Bai family does not want Shancheng, they will not relax their control over Shancheng for a moment. After all, they are keeping an eye on the future development of Shancheng.

In the future, Shancheng will only get better and better, and may even be transformed into a new generation of economic development city. Now, the Zhou and Bai families' control and support of Shancheng will receive corresponding feedback in the future.

Nowadays, the economic friction between the Zhou and Bai families in the mountain city is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more conflicts are arising. Although it seems calm among the elders, the younger generations of the two families are not as calm as they seem on the surface.

This auction also gives the younger generations of the Zhou and Bai families a chance to compete fairly, to see their individual abilities, and at the same time, to test the family's training of them over the years.

As Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bai are the designated heirs of the Zhou and Bai families, there are naturally many frictions between them. The families also value their abilities very much and are interested in testing their abilities.

This auction competition is part of the test of their abilities, so this is why Mr. Zhou attaches so much importance to this auction competition.

If he could win this competitive auction, Mr. Zhou's status in the family would be improved to a certain extent, and it could even be said that he would be able to establish his position as the family heir.

"But, what's your reason for taking me to visit the Bai family? Provocation?"

Lin Han asked.

"It's like this. Before the auction competition, there will be a discussion between the Zhou family and the Bai family."

"Of course, as one of the protagonists of this auction, I have to be present."

Mr. Zhou explained with a smile.
