"Xiao Fan, besides Robert, there is actually a top meteorite collector in the United States."
Brother Gang hesitated for a moment and said, "But that man is unwilling to sell his meteorite. He won't even let it be seen, and he won't give the auction house face."
"Huh? Why?"
Su Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't collecting meteorites just for trading and selling money? What's going on with this person?"
"He really doesn't do it to make money, but because he likes meteorites."
Brother Gang gave a bitter smile, "That man's name is Zhan En, he is a billionaire. He collects meteorites just for fun. He even opened a company to mine meteorites on the moon."
"What? There is such a person?"
Su Xiaofan was dumbfounded when he heard this. Even though he needed meteorites to provide repair value, he was not crazy enough to want to go to the moon to mine meteorites.
"Then did he succeed?"
Su Xiaofan asked, such a boss must give strong support. If he could absorb the meteorite mined by Zhan En, wouldn't it be a big profit?
"No, but they invest tens of millions of dollars every year. I heard that they have obtained the qualification for lunar mining using the old American method."
Brother Gang shook his head. No one from the United States has landed on the moon in decades, so why should we go mining?
Of course, Zhan En's company has no plans to send people up, but is planning to use lower-cost robots, which may really have a chance of success.
"Brother Gang, how many meteorites does this man have in his hand? Where are they placed?"
Spending tens of millions of dollars every year to carry out such a crazy move, Su Xiaofan didn't think he could buy the meteorites collected by Zhan En with money.
"He has been on the news. He has all the meteorites hidden in his home. There are probably more than 700 pieces of them."
Brother Gang knew this man very well, and had made a lot of efforts before to buy meteorites from him.
"Brother Gang, from now on, don't inquire about this person again. After the transaction with Robert, you will take your sister-in-law and leave the beautiful country immediately..."
Su Xiaofan thought for a while and then said: "When I go to trade with you tomorrow, just say that I am an expert in meteorite identification and I am here to help you select meteorites."
Since he wanted to make a mistake, Su Xiaofan had to remove Brother Gang first. This was easy, as long as Brother Gang left the beautiful country before Zhan En's meteorite happened.
"Okay, I listen to you."
Brother Gang was not stupid either. After hearing what Su Xiaofan said, he said, "Be careful, this is not the country."
"Just because we're not in China, we don't have to be so careful."
Su Xiaofan laughed when he heard this and pulled Brother Gang up from the sofa, "Hurry up and go back to accompany your sister-in-law. As soon as the deal with Robert is over, you can buy a plane ticket and return to China immediately."
After driving Brother Gang out of the room, Su Xiaofan picked up the phone and called Minister Hua.
Of course Hualong didn't answer the call. He spends most of his time in the restricted area now.
However, after the last appointment, Hualong gave Su Xiaofan a new number. Some external matters could be handled directly by the person who answered the phone.
Su Xiaofan had two things that he needed help with. One was Zhan En's detailed information, including his home address and the place where the meteorite was stored.
Of course, there is also Zhan En's recent activity pattern, and when he will not be in the house where the meteorite is hidden. Su Xiaofan does not care about what Zhan En ate in the morning, but he wants other information.
The second thing is that the relevant departments need to prepare for him a sum of no less than 300 million U.S. dollars. It must be able to be directly transferred into overseas accounts. It will be needed tomorrow at the latest.
The person on the phone agreed to Su Xiaofan's first request. It would not be difficult for the relevant departments to figure out the whereabouts of a world-famous rich man.
On the contrary, the second thing is that the person needs to ask for permission from the superiors, because Hualong never expected that Su Xiaofan would ask the relevant departments to borrow money, so he did not give the following relevant permissions.
However, three hours later, they called back and said that Su Xiaofan's request could be met, but after he returned to China, he had to return the money or offset it with items of equal value.
Su Xiaofan naturally agreed immediately, not to mention anything else, but that holy level extraordinary inner elixir was enough to pay off the debt, not to mention that Su Xiaofan might not be able to spend that much money, it was just an extra hand.
Early the next morning, Brother Gang knocked on Su Xiaofan's door, and the two of them left the hotel together.
The place they were going to was Robert's villa in the suburbs.
The beautiful country is different from China. Most of the people living in the city center of China are people with successful careers or stable jobs.
But in the beautiful country, it's just the opposite. Since the popularity of cars has been very high decades ago, the rich there prefer to live in the suburbs.
The neighborhoods in the center of the United States are now mostly inhabited by African-American immigrants. Public security is very poor, and shooting incidents often occur.
The car is a courtesy car booked directly from the hotel. It will serve Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang all day long.
More than half an hour later, the car drove out of the urban area with many high-rise buildings, and more and more villas appeared on both sides of the road.
The car turned into a place with railings and iron gates and stopped. Brother Gang got out of the car and rang the video phone at the door.
Brother Gang and Robert have had a lot of contact in the past few days. Seeing Brother Gang's face, the other party opened the iron door and let the car drive in.
"Dear Gang, is this the appraiser you hired? He is really young."
When they arrived at the villa, a middle-aged man was already waiting there. After seeing Zheng Dagang, he immediately gave him a beautiful Chinese-style hug.
Su Xiaofan took a look at Robert. He was about 1.75 meters tall, had long yellow and slightly curly hair, and was wearing a pair of frayed jeans. Anyway, Su Xiaofan couldn't see even a hint of professor in him.
"Mr. Robert, I hope your collection will satisfy my employer." Su Xiaofan greeted Robert generously.
"Then what are you waiting for? Come in quickly and take a look at my baby."
Robert invited the two of them in. The second basement and first floor of this villa were specially used for his collection of meteorites, while the second and third floors were where Robert and his family lived.
"Robert first, how many meteorites do you have in total? I mean the particularly rare ones?"
Su Xiaofan followed Robert and said, "You know, my boss is very picky. He only wants the rarest ones and doesn't like anything else."
“I guarantee that in this world, no one’s collection of meteorites is rarer than mine!”
Robert said confidently: "They are all unique. If your boss hadn't been so generous, I really wouldn't have been willing to sell them."
There is naturally a reason why Robert is so enthusiastic about Zheng Dagang.
When Zheng Dagang came here for the first time, he selected more than a hundred meteorites and asked Robert about the price.
At that time, Robert directly quoted a price that was double the market price, because he knew that Chinese people like to bargain when buying things.
But what surprised Robert was that Zheng Dagang did not counter-offer, but just told Robert that further appraisal was needed.
Robert can live in a mansion, drive a nice car, and travel in the upper class all day long. The salary from his school alone is not enough.
Most of Robert's income actually came from selling meteorites. When a big customer like Zheng Dagang came, he naturally had to entertain him well.
Following Robert to the basement, Su Xiaofan saw that everything he saw was densely packed with meteorites. On this floor alone, there were at least a thousand meteorites.
"Sure enough, he is the largest private meteorite collector in the world."
Su Xiaofan felt that he should have turned his attention to the whole world long ago. The number of meteorites in China was really pitiful.
"Mr. Robert, do you have any containers here?"
Su Xiaofan said: "What I mean is that I need to find something to hold the meteorite I selected."
"Oh, I understand, this will do..."
Robert easily pulled out a sack from the corner of the basement and said, "This is what I use when I go out to search for meteorites. It's very strong. You can just pick it and put it in."
From Robert's actions, Su Xiaofan also saw the difference between foreign collectors and domestic collectors.
Domestic collectors are all very careful about protecting their collections. Sometimes they even custom-make valuable boxes or shelves to house some antiques.
Even if it is a meteorite, Uncle Jing will find a glass cabinet to place it inside, and also light it up so that people can watch it.
But when we arrived at Robert's place, there was nothing. There was a high-wattage light in the basement, but it was quite bright.
But all the meteorites were placed on the ground, but there was a bookmark underneath the meteorites, which indicated the type of meteorite.
"Don't look at me. Lao Luo said these things were originally pulled out of the dirt. It's normal to put them on the ground."
Seeing Su Xiaofan's surprised look, Brother Gang shrugged his shoulders as the Romans do, "Where the meteorite is placed, Lao Luo, has nothing to do with the price of the meteorite. Well, that should be what it means."
"Well, there is a difference in thinking."
Su Xiaofan nodded. He didn't care where the meteorite was placed, because as long as it got into his hands, it would all turn into powder.
After using the repair system, Su Xiaofan took a cautious look, fearing that there would be a disappointing scene.
But it's good. Just when he used the repair system to look at the meteorites, a series of "absorbable" words appeared in Su Xiaofan's mind.
Asking Brother Gang to carry the sack, Su Xiaofan bent down and threw pieces of meteorites into it.
Of course, before putting it in, Su Xiaofan still held a magnifying glass and pretended to look at it for a few seconds.
After picking things up on the second underground floor, they went to the underground floor again. At the same pace, it only took Su Xiaofan half an hour to load up a whole sack.
On the first floor, Su Xiaofan also found all the meteorites that could be absorbed. After a rough calculation, the total amount was about 270 yuan.
"Mr. Robert, do you have any rarer meteorites here?"
Su Xiaofan said with some reluctance: "For example, solar planet meteorites, maybe white dwarf meteorites. In short, the rarer the better."
"God, how could a solar planet meteorite fall to the earth?"
Robert opened his eyes wide when he heard this, "This is impossible. If the sun explodes, will the earth still exist? There can be no solar meteorites."
Robert said it categorically. Su Xiaofan's words have gone beyond the scientific research community's understanding of meteorites.
"Okay, I'm just making an analogy. So, Mr. Robert, do you have any rarer meteorites?"
Su Xiaofan pointed to the bag and said: "You know, my boss is a very rich man. If you still have some good things that you haven't taken out, my boss will be unhappy."
"Okay, I still have some meteorites in my collection. Let me show them to you."
Robert hesitated for a moment, then went to the second floor. When he came down, he had a few more boxes in his hand.
"Although this meteorite only weighs six grams, one gram is worth three hundred thousand dollars!"
Robert was actually looking for the most precious meteorite, especially one of such small size, so he would not throw it in the basement.
"This is the Xiaxi meteorite from Mars."
Robert opened another box, "It's worth more. One gram costs half a million dollars. Of course, it only has four grams in total."
Rare meteorites are actually easy to identify because they are small in size and few in number. The Uranus meteorite absorbed by Su Xiaofan in the restricted area was already the largest among the rare meteorites.
Most of the meteorites contained in the sacks this time were only the size of a baby's fist, and more than 80% were stony-iron meteorites.
But Su Xiaofan didn't care what kind of meteorites they were, or even bothered to identify their names. Su Xiaofan only needed to know whether they could be absorbed.
The meteorites in the three boxes that Robert took down later were all absorbable and rare meteorites, and Su Xiaofan asked him to keep them all.
"Mr. Robert, I think you can call your lawyer."
Su Xiaofan sat on the comfortable American sofa in the living room and said, "Then get a computer and tell my boss how much he will eventually need to pay!"
"Oh, I love your boss, he is such a generous man!"
Robert rushed over and hugged Zheng Dagang again, and rubbed his unshaven face with Brother Gang vigorously.
Poor Brother Gang looked at Su Xiaofan with a look of resentment. In order to help him buy meteorites, Brother Gang even betrayed his own appearance.
The relationship between the rich man in the beautiful country and his lawyer must be closer than the relationship between him and his wife, because he will tell the lawyer how much money he has hidden, but not his wife.
Robert made a call, and within half an hour, the lawyer was already sitting in the living room in a suit and tie.
More than two hundred meteorites were divided into three grades according to the prices offered by Robert.
The third level is 3,000 US dollars per gram, which accounts for the vast majority of these meteorites. There are 30,000 grams in total, which is 30 kilograms, which works out to 90 million US dollars.
The second-grade meteorite costs US$6,000 per gram. The quantity is not very large, only more than 3,000 grams, but the total price reaches US$20 million.
The first level is those meteorites that Robert took out that he thinks are rare. However, the grams of these meteorites are very low, and the total weight of these meteorites is only 10 million.
In the end, Su Xiaofan needed 120 million U.S. dollars to capture all these meteorites.
This was the number that the lawyer came up with after pressing the calculator five times. Su Xiaofan had already calculated it in his head and had been waiting impatiently for him for a long time.
"If your boss has no objections, you can take away these meteorites as long as the money goes into the designated bank account after signing the contract."
When Robert's lawyer looked at Zheng Dagang, it was like looking at a pile of walking knives.
You know, even though there are many rich Americans, their law firms may not be able to sign such a large amount of transactions in a year.
Robert's lawyer will also perform a series of subsequent legal and tax-free operations for him, so that Robert will not feel distressed and pay him a large amount of legal fees.
When Brother Gang signed the contract, his hands were shaking a little.
One hundred and twenty million U.S. dollars, that's more than one billion for a soft girl, but their company has less than 200 million in cash in total, and it's still a Hong Kong paper.
"My boss said that the money will be transferred to your designated account in half an hour."
Su Xiaofan took out his phone and reported the bank account and account number on the contract to the other party.
"Okay, let's drink together for this great deal."
Robert took out four wine glasses and a bottle of whiskey, "This is whiskey from 1862. Cheers to our friendship!"
When it comes to the happiest person in the venue, Su Xiaofan naturally ranks first.
Because these meteorites represent the repair value, and the repair value can cure Su Xiaofan's mother, for which Su Xiaofan is willing to pay any price.
Ranking second is of course Robert. You must know that this batch of meteorites was worth at most 30 million US dollars half a year ago.
But after meeting a mysterious rich man from China, he actually sold it for four times the price.
Now Robert couldn't wait to hold Brother Gang and kiss him a few more times. If Brother Gang was willing, Robert wouldn't mind giving him a wet French kiss.
The lawyer was also very happy. He felt that he was fully qualified to become a partner of the firm. Of course, the person who should be most grateful for this was Brother Gang.
Only Brother Gang's mood was not too high. Su Xiaofan felt that it was necessary to ask Brother Gang to study his acting skills. It is no exaggeration to say that Brother Gang was definitely the worst actor among Su Xiaofan's friends.
After drinking a bottle of 1862 whiskey, and then smoking a top-notch cigar that was said to have been rubbed on the legs of a Cuban girl.
The 120 million was finally deposited into the account designated by Robert. Robert did not hide his happiness at all and celebrated with high-fives from the lawyer and Brother Gang.
In fact, for Su Xiaofan, there is no question of who wins and who loses in this matter. Money has no meaning in his eyes. Everyone is just asking for what they need.
"Brother Gang, call my sister-in-law and book the fastest flight to leave."
After getting in the car and leaving the villa, Su Xiaofan said: "Let my sister-in-law pack her things and come down. You go to the airport. I will return the two rooms together later."
"There is no direct flight to China, so we need to transfer." After hanging up the phone, Zheng Dagang said to Su Xiaofan.
"Then let's go, don't stay in the beautiful country."
Su Xiaofan paused and said, "Don't come here in the past few years. I guess some people will keep an eye on you."
Su Xiaofan said this not because of this transaction, but because of what he was going to do next.
While trading with Robert, information about Zhan En had been sent to Su Xiaofan's mobile phone.
Jenn's residence is not too far from Los Angeles, and he lives near Silicon Valley, where the company was founded.
Su Xiaofan planned to wait until dark for a 'walk' there, which would probably take him an hour or two.
