Chapter 1916 Asking for a sky-high price, pay back the money on the spot

Addison held out a finger and smiled.

Yang Fei is not good at speculating, after all, the other party also knows that this Buddha statue is the most precious of all antiques, what if the other party's lion opens his mouth? Or his own offer is far higher than the other party's expectations?

Therefore, Yang Fei just looked at Addison and did not take the initiative to say the price.

Addison said, "Ten million!"

Yang Fei frowned and said, "RMB?"

Addison laughed: "Of course it's the euro, the dollar can also be used, the exchange rate is about the same!"

Yang Fei said: "It's too expensive. Mr. Addison, this Buddha statue, just carved out of wood, is not worth that much money. ”

"I know it's carved out of wood, but it's lacquered, it's gold-dusted, it's a golden Buddha," said Addison. ”

Yang Fei said: "If it is made of pure gold, 10 million euros, I will not hesitate to buy it." For 10 million euros, at the current gold price, I can buy more than 2,000 catties of gold! I can build more than a dozen pure gold Buddha statues of this size. ”

He knew that Addison didn't know about antiques, only gold and money!

Therefore, he deliberately used the price of gold to make a comparison.

The price of gold around 2000 was indeed very cheap, 70 or 80 yuan a gram.

But this is cheaper than the price of gold twenty years from now.

At that time, the labor was also low, and if you think about it, the price of gold at that time was not cheap.

Addison thought for a while and agreed, maybe he really wanted to promote this transaction, maybe these so-called antiques were really a bit of a place for him, so he asked Yang Fei: "Mr. Yang, how much do you think it's worth?"

Yang Fei said: "Not long ago, at Christie's in New York, I auctioned a precious cultural relic, which was an antique from more than 3,600 years ago in my country, and I only spent 9.5 million US dollars. At that auction, there was also a statue of Buddha that was auctioned, also gilded, a little larger than this one, but only sold for a million dollars. If Mr. Addison agrees, I am willing to buy the Buddha statue for a million dollars. ”

"A million?" said Addison, apparently feeling that the price was low, "You know, this is the most valuable treasure in the antique room!"

Yang Fei smiled: "The value of antiques is hard to say, if you like it, you can pay a high price for it." If you don't like it, it's not worth that much money. The bronze I auctioned before was actually not very expensive in the market, and the same bronze only sold for one or two million dollars. But I love it and I'm willing to pay a higher price for it. Just as you like Alice, you feel like she's priceless, and you're willing to pay a higher price for her. ”

Addison said, "Mr. Yang, you like this Buddha statue too! You should be able to pay a higher price for it?"

Yang Fei shook his head and said: "No, I just heard Alice say that this Buddha statue is very unlucky, she saw it open its eyes, and then a few people died in the fort that night." That's why I want to bring it back to China, and I'm here to help you. ”

Addison glanced at Alice.

Alice said coquettishly, "Sell it, Addison! We're really scared of it! You have so many antiques, what does it matter if you don't have one?"

Addison said, "A million euros? That's really too low." ”

Alice said: "It's a million, it's a lot, let's sell it! This kind of antique, which ordinary people don't like, it's rare that Mr. Yang is willing to buy it, so you can sell it to him! I think it's very bad to keep it in the fort, and it feels very bad." ”

Addison said, "Okay, a million euros, it's a deal!

Yang Fei smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Addison." I came in a hurry today and didn't bring so much money, I'll come back tomorrow and complete the deal!"

Addison said, "Yes." Mr. Yang, don't you like other antiques?"

Yang Fei said: "I think we still have a chance to cooperate." ”

Addison suddenly said, "Mr. Yang, have we met?" I think you are very familiar. ”

Yang Fei thought to himself that the oil fields and refineries he had invested in Africa had been within the scope of Addison's management, and if the other party remembered that there had been a huge investment in the refinery, then things would be in trouble.

So, Yang Fei smiled and said, "I'm ashamed, I often appear in various news, maybe Mr. Addison has read my relevant reports?"

Addison didn't think much about it, in fact, when he was in Africa before, all the investments were also in charge of Ivlica and others, and he himself was not good at management, so he couldn't remember where he had invested.

Yang Fei's explanation is also very reasonable.

Addison smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet the richest man in China!"

Yang Fei said: "Don't dare to be, I'm just the richest man in China." There are a lot of richer people in the Chinese community than me. ”

This time, Yang Fei and the others did not stay long, politely refused Addison's banquet, and went down the mountain.

Back to the B&B.

Yang Fei and Fu Heng and the others had another small meeting.

Fu Heng said: "Eighty percent of the antiques in the castle are from my country!"

Wang Yuanzhi sighed: "The previous owner of this ancient castle probably snatched a boatload of antiques from our country!"

Yang Fei said: "We have a relationship with Addison, and it will be easier to enter the castle again. ”

Fu Heng said: "However, they already know us, and if we act, it will be easy for them to find out." ”

Yang Fei said: "Our actions do not have to enter from the main entrance. Instead, go down the sewer. ”

Hu Xuanlin said: "I have explored today, near the basement of the ancient castle, there is a sewer exit, if you go up from there, you only need to walk thirty meters to enter the basement." ”

Yang Fei said: "The basement is full of organs, can you go in?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "When Alice took us in, there were three floors of access control in the basement, and the key must not be thought about, we couldn't get it." I had to find other ways to get in. ”

Yang Fei said: "Is there a sewer in the basement?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "No." ”

Li Juan said: "Or, we can directly make a passage from the appropriate location of the sewer to the basement of the ancient castle and transport the antiques away without realizing it?"

Yang Fei said: "Is this feasible? It takes a long time to build a tunnel. ”

Hu Xuanlin pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "There is a distance of fifty meters from the sewer to the nearest basement, and I don't know if the ground in the basement has been specially treated, if so, it will be even more difficult." ”

Yang Fei said: "This plan doesn't work. Fifty meters away, it is too difficult to hollow out under their noses, and it is very likely that the effort will be in vain, because the basement of this kind of ancient castle must have a deep foundation, and the hardening of the ground will also be very strong, in case you dig through it and can't break through the wall, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "I had to find a way to break the door in the basement!"

Li Juan said: "In doing this, the risk factor is higher. And how can so many antiques be transported out? There is a distance of 30 meters from the basement gate to the sewer mouth! There are guards patrolling around here!"
