Chapter 40: Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking
How could Mr. Long not hear about the dirty things Gao Shenglan did on a daily basis?
If there weren't some things that couldn't get around this shameless old guy, Mr. Long would be ashamed to sit at the same table with him.
Gao Shenglan's bulging eyes, his face not red and his heart not beating, sneered:
"National treasure-level cultural relics should be handed over to our Cultural Relics Administration Bureau for us to study carefully. How can we buy and sell them?"
At this time, Zhou Zhenhai also heard a hint. He and Mr. Long were thinking about how to get Liu Shiba's gadgets at a price. Does this cultural hooligan named Gao want to be blackmailed?
"Where can a pauper get these two things? It seems to me that the road is not right.
I think we should call the police immediately, take these two items into the possession of the state, hand them over to our administration, and then ask this guy to explain where they came from."
Gao Shenglan's expression of joyful expression and righteous speech made several people present frown secretly.
Liu Shiba felt it was a bit funny, but at the same time he also felt the style of these high-ranking officials. Is right and wrong just hanging on your lips?
"Oh? I don't believe it today. Let's see who dares to snatch these two things."
At this time, Ning Miner stood next to Liu Shiba with a smile and made a sarcastic sound.
When Gao Shenglan heard this, his old face darkened, and he glared at Liu Shiba with a sinister look.
This poor boy can still control himself, but Ning Min'er, forget it, he can't afford to offend her for the time being...
Mr. Long laughed loudly and said:
"Since the things can't be wrong, the young man will set a price. The old man is shameless and wants to fight for it today."
Zhou Shida glanced at Gao Shenglan coldly, turned to look at Liu Shiba, and said with a smile:
"Eighteen brothers, do you have any intention of transferring?"
"this……"
Liu Shiba hesitated a little.
"snort!"
Gao Shenglan glanced at Liu Shiba with a sinister look and snorted coldly.
Liu Shiba no longer hesitated and nodded directly:
"It's too precious. If you leave it in my hands, I probably won't be able to sleep at night. I'm not afraid of thieves stealing it, but I'm afraid that thieves will miss it."
"good."
Mr. Long smiled happily and said:
"You quote a price, and if you think it's suitable, I'll put the money directly into your account, and we'll take the stuff away."
Liu Shiba felt a little embarrassed to ask for his own quotation. He knew nothing about the market. He looked at Zhou Zhenhai with a movement in his heart and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhou is an expert, can you help me set a price?"
Zhou Zhenhai nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this boy is sensible, and then said with a smile:
"After all, it's a huge deal. It's best to be more formal and sign a transfer contract or something to avoid disputes in the future."
"A huge amount..."
Liu Shiba was also smart and immediately knew that Zhou Zhenhai was looking for a guarantee for himself. Even if something went wrong, he would not be blamed.
At that moment, Liu Shiba stood up and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhou, this contract will trouble you."
Zhou Zhenhai frowned and remained silent for a moment, walked back and forth a few steps stroking his beard, then walked to Long Xiangting and whispered a few words.
"Eighteen, to be honest, these two things are so precious that the old man doesn't know what price to set.
I don’t think it’s better than this. There are me, Miss Ning, Tang Wencan, and Mr. Long who are interested in collecting, so why don’t we offer a reserve price and let’s bid fairly?”
Liu Shiba nodded with a smile and said:
"Then just do as Mr. Zhou said."
Seeing that Liu Shiba and Zhou Zhenhai directly reached an agreement and ignored his existence as the director of the Cultural Relics Administration Bureau, Gao Shenglan couldn't help but become angry, stood up and said angrily:
"Zhou Zhenhai, I warn you, you are making a mistake. This kind of thing should be owned by the state."
At this time, Ning Min'er gave a sweet smile, rolled her eyes at Liu Shiba, turned her head and glared at Gao Shenglan, and said strangely:
"The Sotheby's auction house branch in Kyoto is going to auction a bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animals in the Old Summer Palace today. If the high office doesn't hurry up and send people to snatch it back, what are you waiting for?"
"this……"
Gao Shenglan's face turned dark instantly.
How can he, a small director of the Xuchang Cultural Relics Administration Bureau, mess with a behemoth like Sotheby's?
Even the Huaxia Kingdom has to bid from inside to get things, let alone yourself?
It's okay if you let Gao Shenglan dominate the local area and bully ordinary people like Liu Shiba, but if you ask him to seriously compete with some big guys, he doesn't dare.
"snort!"
Gao Shenglan snorted angrily, stood up and walked away.
Seeing Gao Shenglan's figure disappearing from the room, Zhou Zhenhai looked at Liu Shiba with a pleasant look and said with a smile:
"Okay, the trouble is gone, we can have a good talk.
Since these two things belong to Cao Chong, the Marquis of Deng Ai, they should not be separated.
The old man can't give a final price. Generally, an ordinary jade pendant from this period costs about one million, and a crown is about the same price.
But considering the uniqueness of Deng Aihou, I suggest that the base price is two million for each piece, and four million for the two pieces together. Each increase in price should not be less than five hundred thousand. What do you think, little friend?"
Liu Shiba nodded with a smile, but actually he was happy in his heart. No matter how much, these two things must be taken care of today. Do we really want to eat instant noodles in the future?
At this time, Mr. Long stood up, walked slowly behind Liu Shiba, patted Liu Shiba lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"I'm the oldest here, so let me give you a price first. I'll pay five million."
When Mr. Long's hand touched Liu Shiba, the gold-touching iron plate next to his body actually shook slightly, and a cold breath flowed out from the iron plate, snaking into Liu Shiba's pocket and quickly swam away.
Come to the center of the eyebrows, circle and condense.
Liu Shiba was slightly startled, but having a similar experience made him calm down immediately without revealing any flaws.
However, unlike the last time, he didn't feel anything after the cool breath penetrated into his body.
While Liu Shiba's thoughts were ups and downs, bursts of warmth suddenly spread between his eyebrows and fed back into his eyes.
In an instant, Liu Shiba felt a cool feeling pass through his eyes. He closed his eyes and opened them again. Four golden boys were clearly printed in his mind: a second-grade Feng Shui master?
It turns out that this Elder Long is also one of the ten cultivators and a second-level Feng Shui master.
At this time, Liu Shiba vaguely seemed to have mastered some secret of touching the gold iron card. As long as the opponent touches his body, there will be a certain reaction?
But Ning Min'er didn't meet him last time, so why did he sense that she was a third-grade life master? Could it be that the higher the realm, the easier it is to sense her?
Before Liu Shiba could think about it carefully, he heard Tang Wencan shout:
"Since Mr. Long spoke first, I will add a little more, six million!"
Zhou Zhenhai laughed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said with a slow smile:
"I have been dealing in antiques for so many years and I have a small fortune. Let me guess a lucky number, eight million."
Liu Shiba was stunned for a moment when he heard this. To be honest, he had never seen so much money since he was a child.
According to his idea, he would be satisfied if these two items could be sold for two million. Now it has soared to eight million. If he saves some money, he can eat instant noodles for a lifetime.
