Returning to modern times, Liang En immediately turned on his mobile phone and prepared to call Liu Peng. However, before dialing, he saw four or five missed calls from Liu Peng appearing on his mobile phone.
"Hey, Pengzi, what's the matter with you calling me?" Liang En immediately called back after looking at these calls from more than a day ago to half an hour at the latest. After a few rings, the call was connected.
.
In fact, under normal circumstances, he would return to the modern world three or four times a day to communicate with relatives and friends in the modern world, but today he stayed in the ancient world all day because of his busy schedule, so he missed so many phone calls.
.
"Daliang, you finally answered the phone." Liu Peng's voice came from the phone. "The isinglass you sold to us before was sold at a good price, and now the customer wants to know if you still have it.
More of this good stuff.”
"The isinglass is gone, but I got a pair of jade bracelets that look quite beautiful." Liang En said after taking a look at the box containing the jade bracelets in his hand.
"You know I don't see any good or bad in this thing at all. Fortunately, the foreigner who sold me this bracelet didn't know much about it either, and the price he offered was not high, so I took it off and I'll post it later.
Let me show you the picture."
After chatting for a few more words, Liang En hung up the phone and took a dozen photos of the two bracelets from multiple angles, then sent them via WeChat.
Unexpectedly, his phone rang less than ten minutes after sending the message, and as soon as he answered the call, Liu Peng's very excited voice came from the receiver.
"Brother, you didn't lie to me by finding a picture on the Internet, did you?"
"Do you think I'm such a boring person?" Liang En looked at the jade bracelet that glowed warmly in front of him. Liang En curled his lips unconsciously. "Are you calling me now because you have identified the situation?"
"How is it possible?" Liu Peng slightly raised his voice and said, "No one can tell what this thing is like just from a photo, but a few of my masters here think it looks very good from the photo.
It could be true."
"But if the bracelet on your hand is real, the price may be sold for millions of euros, so I have to make sure that your bracelet is natural jade and has not been dyed or filled."
"What should I do? Do I need to take the bracelet to Italy for appraisal now?"
"Professional identification is required, because it requires some professional equipment to detect the material of the bracelet, whether it is dyed, and whether it is filled. But there is no need for you to come to us -"
Liu Peng made a decision after thinking for a few seconds.
"Daliang, just go directly to the small town of Pilan over there. The rich man who bought your isinglass last time is here now. He just saw the photo of this pair of bracelets and was very interested in buying them.
He also expressed the hope that we would take this pair of bracelets to his villa to see as soon as possible."
"This rich man, Mr. Huang, is a Malaysian Chinese and has done some research on jade itself, so there are some more professional equipment in the villa. All we need to do is go to him with the bracelet, so there is no need for us to find equipment here.
."
Liu Peng paused at this point, and then he hesitated for a while before organizing his words.
"But my brother has settled the accounts. I need to sign an agreement before I take you to see him. If this business is really completed, I will require 5% of the transaction amount as an agency fee——"
"No problem, I understand the rules of agency fees." After hearing the other party's quotation, Liang En responded immediately. The fees for antique agencies in the market now are basically 8% to 15%. Liu Peng's 5% charge is definitely for the sake of his friends.
.
"By the way, I need to trouble you about something." After talking about the jade bracelet, Liang En talked about the raw materials he needed now.
"I need the help of locals like you to purchase some things now. I will send you the list later and see if you can help me buy all these things-"
A few minutes after hanging up the phone and sending the list, Liu Peng told Liang En that he could buy the items for him and that the price plus shipping costs were reasonable and not as expensive as he thought.
For example, Liang En chose 9260 spring steel, which is the most commonly used steel in modern cold weapons production. The ex-factory price of this product is only 1,000 euros per ton, but the minimum purchase requirement is one ton.
The same is true for other metals. The entire cost of goods and transportation only costs more than 13,000 euros, and it can be transported to any warehouse in Slovenia.
As a local aboriginal, Liu Peng's connections were naturally not comparable to those of a foreigner like Liang En, so of course, when Liang En drove to Pilan the next morning, he had already collected all the metals needed for the Qinglian Sword.
Procurement is in place.
At the same time, via fax, the two people also completed the signing of the agency contract.
"The next step is some wood and incense. It is better to purchase these things in the ancient world. After all, the things there are better than those in the modern world -"
On the way to Piran in a rented car, Liang En thought that this country is not very big, so it only takes about two hours to drive from the capital to this port.
So Liang En simply chose to rent a car and drive to the town of Piran, the most famous tourist attraction on the country's coast.
The journey went smoothly, so when the time reached 11 noon, Liang En drove smoothly to Mr. Huang's three-story building halfway up the mountain in the old town of Pilan.
Compared to the capital of Slovenia, more people in China know this ancient town because the port area of a well-known game was drawn using this town as a template.
Standing in front of this building halfway up the mountain, you can see that the entire city is almost entirely Venetian-style buildings with red roofs or red roofs and yellow walls. There are many people coming and going in the central square of the old city.
"Are you Mr. Liang?"
After getting off the bus, a middle-aged man who was staying at the door of the small building came over and asked in Chinese.
"Yes, and I also brought the things." Liang En subconsciously pressed his right hand on the pocket of his coat. "Please lead the way."
Soon, Liang En was led by the man who looked like a housekeeper to the magnificent study room on the second floor of the building in front of him. He met Mr. Huang, the client this time, and an old man about the same age as Mr. Huang.
Since they had already communicated on the phone beforehand, after exchanging a few words, Liang En took out the box containing the bracelet and placed it on the table.
Before opening the box, the old man named Teacher Wu's eyes became serious.
Although this is a brand-new camphor wood box, because the box is brand new, he can easily tell from the processing marks on the surface that it is a box handmade with traditional craftsmanship, and the production level is not low.
As the top luxury store in Yuanhe County, Duobao Zhai will naturally provide good packaging for everything it sells. Even items that cannot be sold at a high price, like this pair of jade bracelets, will be packed in a carved box.
.
However, even the lowest-end box from Duobao Zhai is still a work of art in modern society. These days, anything that can be associated with traditional handicrafts will not be cheap, but this level of handicrafts appears in a common camphor tree.
The box looks a little strange.
"Is it possible that this young man is just a white glove used by some big guys for testing?" The old man quickly thought of a possibility. "You should be more careful when checking after watching it for a while."
