The Richest Man Yang Fei - Chapter 1918
Chapter 1916 Asking prices all over the sky, paying b
Addison stretched out a finger and smiled slightly.
Yang Fei is not good at guessing, after all, the other party also knows that this Buddha statue is the most precious of all the antiques. What if the other lion speaks loudly? Or is your offer far higher than the other party’s expectations?
So, Yang Fei just looked at Addison and didn’t take the initiative to tell the price.
Addison said: “Ten million!”
Yang Fei frowned and said, “Is it RMB?”
Addison laughed and said, “Of course it’s the Euro, but the U.S. dollar is okay. The exchange rate is about the same!”
Yang Fei said: “It is too expensive. Mr. Addison, this Buddha statue is only carved from wood and is not worth that much.”
Addison said: “I know it is carved from wood! But it is painted and coated with gold powder. This is a golden Buddha.”
Yang Fei said: “If it were made of pure gold, I would buy it for 10 million euros without hesitation. At 10 million euros, at the current price of gold, I can buy more than two thousand catties of gold! Several such big pure gold Buddha statues.”
He knew that Edison didn’t understand antiques, only gold and money!
Therefore, he deliberately used the price of gold for comparison.
The price of gold around 2000 was indeed very cheap, 70 to 80 yuan per gram.
But this is cheap, compared to the price of gold twenty years later.
And the labor at the time was also low. If you think about it this way, the price of gold at that time was not cheap.
Addison thought for a while and agreed. Maybe he really wants to promote this deal. Maybe these so-called antiques are really bad for him. So he asked Yang Fei: “Mr. Yang, then How much do you think it is worth?”
Yang Fei said, “I took a picture of a precious cultural relic at the Christie’s auction in New York not long ago. It was an antique from our country more than 3,600 years ago. I only spent $9.5 million. At that auction. , There is also a statue of Buddha that has been auctioned. It is also gilded. It is larger than this one, but it only sold for one million dollars. If Mr. Addison agrees, I am willing to buy it for one million dollars. Down this Buddha statue.”
“One million?” Edison obviously felt that the price was low, “You know, this is the most valuable piece of treasure in the antique room!”
Yang Fei smiled and said: “The value of an antique is hard to say. If you like it, you can pay a high price for it. If you don’t like it, then it is not worth that much. Not high, similar bronzes only sold for one or two million dollars. But I like it, and I am willing to pay a higher price for it. Just like you like Alice, you think she is a priceless treasure, and you are willing to do it for her Pay a higher price.”
Addison said: “Mr. Yang, you also like this Buddha statue! You should be able to pay a higher price for it?”
Yang Fei shook his head and said, “No, I just heard Alice say that this Buddha statue is very unlucky. She opened her eyes when she saw it, and then a few people died in the fort that night. That’s why I wanted to invite it back to China. I am helping you.”
Addison glanced at Alice.
Alice said coquettishly: “Addison, sell it! We are really afraid of it! You have so many antiques, what does it matter if you have less one?”
Addison said: “One million euros? This is really too low.”
Alice said, “It’s a lot more than a million, let’s sell it! This kind of antique is not liked by ordinary people. It is rare that Mr. Yang is willing to buy it. You can sell it to him! I think it is not good to stay in the fort. very bad.”
Addison said: “Well, one million euros, it’s done! This Buddha statue belongs to you!”
Yang Fei smiled and said: “Thank you Mr. Edison. I came in a hurry today and didn’t bring so much money. I will come again tomorrow and complete the transaction!”
Addison said: “Yes. Mr. Yang, don’t you look down on other antiques?”
Yang Fei said: “We will have a long time in Japan, I think we still have a chance to cooperate.”
Addison suddenly said: “Mr. Yang, have we met? I think you are familiar.”
Yang Fei thought to himself that the oil fields and refineries he invested in Africa were once under the management of Addison. If the other party remembered that he had invested in a huge oil refinery, then things would be troublesome.
Then, Yang Fei smiled and said, “Ashamed, I often appear in various news. Perhaps Mr. Addison has seen my related reports?”
Edison didn’t think much about it. In fact, when he was in Africa, Evelika and others were responsible for all his investments. He himself was not good at business, so he couldn’t remember where he had made investments. .
Yang Fei’s explanation is also very reasonable.
Addison smiled and said, “It’s nice to meet the richest man in China!”
Yang Fei said: “I dare not be, I’m just the richest man in China. There are many richer people in the Chinese world than me.”
This time, Yang Fei and the others didn’t stay long, so they declined Edison’s banquet and went down the mountain.
Back to the bed and breakfast.
Yang Fei, Fu Heng and others had another small meeting.
Fu Heng said: “The antiques in the castle, Bacheng belongs to our country!”
Wang Yuanzhi sighed: “The former owner of this old castle probably snatched a ship of antiques from our country!”
Yang Fei said: “We have had a relationship with Edison. It will be easier to enter the castle again.”
Fu Heng said: “However, they already know us. If we act, they will find it easily.”
Yang Fei said: “Our action does not need to enter from the main entrance. Instead, we walk through the sewer Hu Xuanlin said: “I have explored today. There is a sewer exit near the basement of the castle. If you go up from there, , You only need to walk thirty meters to enter the basement. ”
Yang Fei said: “The basement is full of organs, can I go in?”
Hu Xuanlin said: “When Alice Ribbon we went in, there were three levels of access control in the basement. There is definitely no need to think about the key. We can’t get the key. We can only find other ways to enter.”
Yang Fei said, “Is there a sewer in the basement?”
Hu Xuanlin said: “No.”
Li Juan said: “Or, can we make a passage directly from a suitable location in the sewer to the basement of the castle, and unknowingly transport the antiques?”
Yang Fei said: “This? Is it feasible? It takes a long time to tunnel.”
Hu Xuanlin pinched his fingers and said, “There is also a distance of 50 meters from the sewer to the nearest basement. It is still unknown whether the floor of the basement has been specially treated. If it is, it will be more difficult.”
Yang Fei said, “This plan won’t work. For a distance of 50 meters, it is too difficult to hollow out under their noses, and it is very likely to be a waste of time, because the basement of this kind of ancient castle must have a deep foundation and hardening of the ground. It will be very tough. In case of hard digging, and the result cannot be broken into the wall, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?”
Hu Xuanlin said: “I had to find a way to break the access control of the basement!”
Li Juan said: “This way, the risk factor is higher. And how can so many antiques be shipped out? There is a distance of 30 meters from the gate of the basement to the mouth of the sewer! There are guards patrolling here!”
