"I know what Hongzi is busy with." Chi Feichi noticed a servant passing by outside the restaurant and did not say it too clearly. "We have a friend in the United States. She should have gone to meet that friend for a party last night.
, you don’t have to worry, that friend is not a bad person.”
"Since you said that, I'm relieved," Koshimi Nanatsuki thought that a servant might come in at any time in the restaurant, so he didn't ask any further questions. He smiled and said, "Akoko didn't come back until five in the morning, so let her have a good rest.
Well, let me go shopping in the nearby shopping mall later to see if there are any suitable gifts for the children..."
The two of them finished breakfast in the restaurant. Chi Fei was late and changed into a black formal suit in the bedroom. He went downstairs and got into the car driven by the bodyguard. He went nearby to meet the appraisers from Takiguchi Metallurgical Industry and Umbrella.
, headed to the Bronx together.
Each district in New York has relatively affluent and safe areas, as well as chaotic neighborhoods where gang members are active. The two types of neighborhoods are intertwined. Safe neighborhoods and chaotic neighborhoods may only be separated by a few streets. Passers-by start from the safe neighborhoods and walk a few more streets.
If you go down a street, you may stray into a chaotic neighborhood where security is not so good.
Generally speaking, security in tourist areas and wealthy areas is much better.
In these communities with relatively high tax payments, various public services will be better, including security services provided by the police.
There are often police cars patrolling the streets in these communities. The police's efficiency in handling reports and their service attitude are also relatively good. If something happens on the street that affects community safety, the police will even call, text or email.
Notify residents in the community and ask them to pay attention to safety.
As for those neighborhoods where the permanent residents are complex and cannot pay much tax, the police's level of concern is not that high.
And because the police don't pay enough attention, some violent gang members like to gather in those neighborhoods, making the environment in those neighborhoods more complex. Coupled with the circulation of guns and other reasons, the police are becoming less willing to go to those neighborhoods to meddle in other people's affairs.
The environment in those neighborhoods has fallen into a vicious cycle.
Chi Feichi and the evaluators took three cars respectively. The convoy drove through streets lined with high-rise buildings, past areas with open parks, and through chaotic neighborhoods where gang members looked at them, and finally arrived at an environment in the Bronx.
In a quiet and quiet villa residential area with good security, I found a meteorite collector that Kotaro Takiguchi contacted.
This meteorite collector's name is Jason Johnson. He is not only a meteorite collector himself, but also a treasure hunter who likes to search for meteorites around the world and has extensive experience in wild survival. He first made a fortune by selling meteorites, and then occasionally made a fortune.
Some other rare treasures were used to make a profit, and a considerable fortune was accumulated.
When Chi Feichi and his group arrived at the villa area, Jason Johnson personally went to the roadside outside his villa to greet the group. After a group of people parked their cars, he led the way into his villa and warmly greeted Chi Feichi and others.
Go and admire your own collection.
There is a vault-like room in Jason Johnson's villa. The walls are surrounded by thick metal. There are multiple air holes inside for ventilation. There are no windows. The only door in and out is made of thick steel plates, and the door lock is also
Vault grade mechanical combination lock.
This room is specially used by Jason Johnson to collect rare treasures. Half of the glass cabinets display meteorites of different sizes and shapes, and the other half of the glass cabinets contain antiques and jewelry from different countries.
Crafts.
Jason Johnson took Chi Feichi and his group around the collection room, introducing some of his proud meteorite collections and treasures to the group.
After Chi Feichi saw a piece of pottery that was said to be from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties of China, but was actually more like last week, the jealousy in his heart about Jason Johnson's large number of meteorites disappeared instantly. Then he looked at Jason Johnson's confidence and pride.
While he was talking eloquently, he suddenly felt a little worried about the authenticity of Jason Johnson’s meteorites.
If Jason Johnson just doesn't know how to identify antiques and was deceived when purchasing a Chinese antique collection, that would be okay. What he is worried about is that Jason Johnson himself knows that some of the collections are fakes, but he still doesn't blush.
Without a beat, he boasted about his collection, boasting these things to the sky, trying to arouse his interest in these collections...
In this case, Jason Johnson is probably the kind of liar who specializes in deceiving wealthy people, and there may be quite a lot of fakes in those meteorite collections.
Upon closer inspection, Jason Johnson does possess some of the characteristics of that type of liar.
When Kotaro Takiguchi first contacted Jason Johnson, he had already made it clear that he wanted to buy meteorites. When he contacted Jason Johnson, he also said that he came here to buy the meteorites that he was interested in, but after
After they arrived, Jason Johnson took them straight to the collection room. He kept introducing his collection as if he was showing off to his friends, but did not mention a word about buying meteorites. During the period, an appraiser mentioned, "This is what we have this time."
"I want to buy a meteorite," Jason Johnson casually said haha and quickly changed the topic...
In the transaction of purchasing scarce items, many shrewd businessmen do this - they do not talk about the transaction the first time they meet the customer, but they drag the customer to talk about it and see if the customer is restless during the conversation.
Instead of paying special attention to the goods you want to judge the importance of the goods in the customer's mind, or judging whether the customer's personality is impatient based on the customer's reaction to changing the topic, then based on the customer's true demand for the goods, the customer
Character, to determine the sales strategy, so that the goods can be sold at a better price.
But when Kotaro Takiguchi originally contacted Jason Johnson, the two parties had already discussed the price of the meteorite. Regarding Jason Johnson's quotation, Kotaro Takiguchi tried to lower the price. Seeing that the price could not be lowered, he did not insist on lowering the price.
, said, 'As long as the meteorite is real, then the price you said will be the same.' Jason Johnson also said, 'Welcome to inspect the goods, I believe my collection will not let you down.'
Even though the two parties had initially reached a transaction intention, Jason Johnson was still secretive and rambling when receiving him. This behavior was very dishonest and unkind.
Are you dissatisfied with the previously agreed price and want to try to see if you can raise the price?
Or is the meteorite itself a fake, and I want to see if he might be deceived into paying for it?
Or maybe you want to try to trick him into buying other fake collections and kill him like a fat sheep?
In any case, when Jason Johnson did this, it directly sent out a signal of ‘I want to fool you’.
If Jason Johnson just wants to raise the price, that's fine. He doesn't mind paying a little more to buy the thing. What he cares about is whether the meteorite in Jason Johnson's hand is genuine.
If Jason Johnson deceived him and his trip was in vain, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
The crime of jealousy has been causing him a lot of pain recently, so it wouldn't be too much to vent his anger on a liar... right?
Chi Feichi had murderous intent in his heart, but on the surface he calmly followed Jason Johnson through the collection, without pointing out traces of fakes on some of the collections, and followed Jason Johnson back to the living room to sit down.
Jason Johnson didn't mention the meteorite trade, and Chi Feichi didn't take the initiative to mention it. He led people to drink tea with Jason Johnson, and guided the appraisers he brought to chat with Jason Johnson about tea culture and tea culture.
Let’s talk about meteorite knowledge.
The appraisers are here only for appraisal, not for transactions. Since Chi Feichi has not issued an appraisal task, the appraisers are happy to relax. They sit in the living room drinking tea and chatting about meteorites with Jason Johnson.
The two even chatted more and more enthusiastically, dragging Jason Johnson to chat from meteorites to astronomy, and from astronomy to meteorites.
Chi Feichi did not stop the two appraisers. He sat aside and drank tea leisurely, watching Jason Johnson being pulled by the two appraisers to chat. He watched Jason Johnson gradually become absent-minded and react while chatting.
He was slow and did not reveal that Jason Johnson was not in good condition. Instead, he praised the two appraisers from time to time and guided the appraisers to pull Jason Johnson to continue the conversation.
He had reserved a whole morning for the purchase of meteorites, and he still had plenty of time. Since Jason Johnson was not in a hurry to talk about business for the time being, he was not in a hurry either, and just treated it as fishing during working hours.
.
He wanted to see how long Jason Johnson could stay in a restless state.
