Chapter Ninety-Seven: Unlawful
There are two types of antiques, one is legal and the other is illegal.
Needless to say, the illegal ones are known to everyone how they came about. What about the legal ones? Where do they come from? And are they really legal?
It is undeniable that some of them are indeed legitimate. After all, there are still many people who have inherited some antiques from their ancestors. Or in a special period, there are smart people who pay a very small price in exchange for many rare treasures.
However, the vast majority of them are still illegally excavated by tomb robbers. It's just that the power of capital is powerful, and they have many means to turn it into legitimate gain.
After talking about antiques, let's talk about antique shops. What do they make money on?
Do you really think they rely on buying up, picking up leaks, or buying low and selling high?
It is no exaggeration to say that except for a very small part, the vast majority of them rely on the purchase of underworld weapons at low prices to make money.
It's like the bronze sword that Su Zhe broken, which Yuan Chongtai bought from Baofangzhai at a price of 6.8 million. But do you know what He Shiming's purchase price is?
1.3 million!
Look, just this one object, he made 5.5 million, and real estate didn't have this huge profit.
Therefore, although he knew that it was illegal, in order to make money, Bao Fangzhai had been reselling the artifact.
And this is also the real reason why He Shiming refuses to disclose the information of which seller.
Because the other party is a tomb robber, and at the same time, it is also one of his fixed supply channels.
If he reveals the other party's news to the Yuan family. Will you buy antiques directly from him? Or will you simply sell him? If this is the case, how will I collect the artifacts in the future? And how will I make money?
What is a Dark Weapon?
As mentioned above, the artifact is a piece of foreboding. As the manager of the antique shop, He Shiming naturally knows this. It's just that he thinks he's an atheist and doesn't believe in that. Second, he was not unprepared. Therefore, he has not put this rumor at ease for a long time.
It wasn't until Su Zhe mentioned it at this moment that he suddenly thought of this.
"Goodo......"
Swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously. He Shiming's eyes were nervous, suspicious and vigilant, but also afraid, apprehensive and uneasy.
Is the other party's words true? Or is he just using the artifact to deceive himself?
seemed to see the suspicion in his eyes, but Su Zhe chuckled again, and said in a flat tone: "Manager He, your physical condition, maybe I can get this news by investigating you." But when did any part of your body become stiff, and no one else knew about it except yourself, right?"
He Shiming was stunned at first when he heard this, and then nodded subconsciously.
Yes. Because it's absolutely random. Even if you want to know, you have to touch it first.
After all, it really doesn't react in any other way than to become stiff.
It doesn't hurt, it doesn't itch, and it's almost completely negligible.
Can...... What is this for, he asked?
However, just when he thought of this, Su Zhe had already spoken again: "Then, now, Manager He, please reach out and touch the position about five centimeters below your left armpit." ”
“......”
There was a bit of suspicion in his eyes. He Shiming did as he said, and raised his right hand to touch his left armpit. As soon as he touched the part mentioned by Su Zhe, his body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes were irrepressibly rounded, almost giving people the illusion that they were about to fly out of their eyes.
This...... How can it be!?
Hard Block ...... Over here!!!
Just looking at He Shiming's expression, Yuan Shanshan guessed that Su Zhe was right. At that moment, I couldn't help but look at him with a look of surprise, and his beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.
But Su Zhe was unconscious. Even, he didn't show the slightest pride or excitement about He Shiming's reaction, but said indifferently: "Don't be surprised in a hurry." After five minutes, you touch the middle of your breasts. ”
“......”
feeling
Thread...... I became nervous in an instant. In my heart, I was even more worried.
Will it be? After five minutes, where will the lump be transferred?
No...... It can't be! It can't be!!
He didn't make use of any equipment and never touched me. How do you know this?
Was it luck? He must have guessed casually, right?
Can...... What if it turns out later that he's right again?
Is that really luck that can be explained?
For the first time in his life, He Shiming felt that five minutes was so long and tormenting. Even, his forehead began to sweat outward.
Why? Because once the facts prove that what Su Zhe said is true, then what he said before must be true.
I may be on the verge of death at any time! It's just because of some reason that I don't know that I've let myself live until now. But the question is, who knows if that cause will suddenly disappear and then die the next moment?
He...... Don't want to die yet!
While his mind kept thinking nonsense, He Shiming raised his wrist to look at his watch from time to time. When the pointer finally skipped five minutes, he couldn't wait to reach for the middle of his chest. Then, he was sluggish again.
Touch...... Touched the ......
Hard Block ...... Really here!!
With a "poof", He Shiming sat on the sofa limply.
"Now, do you believe it?"
As soon as this voice sounded, He Shiming came back to his senses in an instant, and the whole person bounced up from the sofa with a "poof", held Su Zhe's hand tightly, and prayed with a pleading face: "Master." Save me...... Master Su, please save me!"
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and Su Zhe smiled lightly: "Why should I save you?"
"Money...... I can give you money. He Shiming blurted out: "Master Su, you ...... No...... You make an offer. Just say how much it is!"
"Heh......" Su Zhe shook his head and said, "That...... Shanshan. Please tell this Manager He, how much did your Yuan family spend on asking me to treat Mr. Yuan. ”
He Shiming subconsciously turned his head when he heard this. Then I saw Yuan Shanshan first roll her eyes at Su Zhe, and then said seriously: "In order to save my father, our Yuan family spent nearly 50 million just to buy materials. Then an additional 400 million plus a Bugatti Veyron was paid. ”
Is that really the case?
Of course not. Because of the 400 million, 300 million was spent on her mother, brother and herself. So strictly speaking, this is an exaggeration.
But the question is, does it matter?
Su Zhe's purpose is not money at all, it is the information of which seller, and now he is fully cooperating with him to perform.
In a word, exaggeration is over.
No one will come to poke her anyway!
Then, these words really stunned He Shiming.
"What...... ......What!? Isn't that nearly half a billion ......?"
Yuan Shanshan glanced at him and added again: "Moreover, this is a friendship price!"
“......”
Nima ......
He Shiming was dumbfounded.
Don't say 500 million, he doesn't have 50 million!
Besides, even if there were, he was reluctant to take it out.
Because this price is too much to cheat.
Of course, he also knew it in his heart. There must be moisture in Yuan Shanshan's words. But the current situation is that except for Su Zhe, he can't find anyone else who can solve his problems. And this is equivalent to a monopoly in the business field.
You just need it, and you can only find me. How much is that, and I still have the final say?
So, does it matter if the moisture is not moisture?
This is actually telling yourself in disguise.
Don't talk to me about money, you know what I want.
But...... Telling the other party the information of that person is not only a matter of violating integrity, but more importantly, it may cause a fatal blow to Bao Fang Zhai.
After all, he is a tomb robber, and he is the key witness who holds the evidence of his illegal resale of antiques!
As if seeing his concerns, Su Zhe said lightly: "Manager He." I'm not interested in your business or antiques, and I'm looking for him just to ask him a question, that's all. ”
"Tell me his contact information, or how I can find him, and I'll take the breath off your body. If you refuse, then I'll leave now. ”
"You have five minutes to think about it. Manager He, fate is in your own hands, please cherish it. ”
Destiny...?
Yes, not life and death.
Because you don't have to die.
It's like in the past six months, haven't you just lived well?
But, will Lady Luck always favor her?
Fear, hesitation, doubt, fear, struggle.
Countless complex emotions and chaotic thoughts constantly hit his mind. He Shiming felt that he was really about to collapse.
"The time has come. ”
The indifferent and emotionless voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Manager He, have you thought it through?"
“......”
The sweat soaked his clothes, but He Shiming still didn't know how to answer. Su Zhe couldn't help frowning, and then said indifferently: "Don't speak?" Then I'll treat you as a refusal. In that case, then, Manager He, farewell. ”
With that, Su Zhe turned around and left. Yuan Shanshan glanced at He Shiming, and then followed. The latter was stunned at first, and then shocked.
"Master, wait!"
Don't put a little pressure on you, you should buy vegetables in the vegetable market by yourself, who has time to bargain with you here?
His footsteps stopped, but Su Zhe didn't look back. just said in an indifferent tone: "Manager He, I'm not in the mood to waste time here with you." Five seconds, tell me your answer. Once outdated, I promise, you won't get another chance. ”
"Five ......"
Man is a sword, I am a fish......
He Shiming finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
But he couldn't do anything.
Because he really doesn't want to die!
He glanced at him with an extremely complicated look. Taking a deep breath, He Shiming said in a difficult tone: "Okay." I promise you!"
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he quickly converged. Su Zhe turned around again and said lightly: "So...... Tell me, his contact details. ”
After a moment of silence, He Shiming slowly shook his head and said, "He won't answer the call from outsiders." I can help you contact him. But that's after you, Master, have solved my problem. ”
Su Zhe didn't speak, just looked at him quietly. But this extremely calm look suddenly made He Shiming's heart tighten, and at the same time, on his body, as if a mountain had been pressed down out of thin air, it instantly brought him an indescribable heavy pressure.
Sweat poured out of his body again.
This is...... What's going on?
"Coo". He Shiming couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his back bent down unconsciously. It wasn't until the moment when he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore that Su Zhefang said coldly: "Manager He, I can agree to your request." Until then, though, remember the advice I'm giving you now. ”
After a pause, his eyes instantly became extremely cold, and he said in a calm tone: "No matter who you are, whether there is the Li family standing behind you." If I can make you live, I can make you die. So, after the fact, don't play tricks on me. Do you understand?"
"Huh!"
The moment that cold gaze fell on him, He Shiming only felt that the pressure that was originally wrapped around his body suddenly turned into cold and incomparably fearful, clenching his heart tightly.
Breathe...... It's all about to freeze!
"Goo......
Swallowed again. After a long while, He Shiming nodded with difficulty and said, "Master Su, don't worry, I will definitely not regret it." ”
