Obviously, Carter is not the kind of who plays a weak, and she says that Zheng Zheng is not a gentleman enough and is just playing a strategy of retreating into advance. After listening to Zheng Zheng's response, Carter also knew what Zheng Zheng's attitude was. She shook her head, smiled, didn't dwell too much on this issue, and asked directly, "So, Mr. Zheng, what kind of price can you offer me?"

"Seven hundred thousand euros. ”

Zheng Zheng said the price he had already thought of, and then continued: "At the same time, I also have the right to consult and copy all the records left by your grandfather, such as diaries, manuscripts, essays, and the like. I bought this Guan Yu statue to crack the secret, and it would be difficult for me to do that without the help of your grandfather's records. Of course, if you can't agree to that, we won't be able to do business. ”

Carter lowered his head and thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said, "This request and this price...... Doesn't it make sense?"

"It's the highest price I can give, and I think it's the highest price most people can give. Moreover, my condition is not an alternative, but a requirement that must be incorporated into the business, and if this cannot be achieved, there is no need to discuss our business. ”

After a pause, Zheng Zheng eased his tone and said, "Of course, if I can find important clues from your grandfather's diary and other records that can help me solve the mystery on this statue, I am willing to pay you another 500,000 euros." This can be written into our contract, and I will not break it. ”

"And ......," Zheng Zheng nodded his watch and said to Carter: "If you can promise now, before dinner today, I can remit 700,000 euros to your designated account." Trust me, you won't find another way to cash out so quickly than here. ”

Zheng Zheng said everything else is okay, the key is that the last sentence he said really made Carter very excited.

700,000 euros is not a small amount, and even if someone else can get the price, the process will take a long time. The most important thing is that Carter doesn't know anyone who has a hobby of collecting antiques, and if he really sells this Guan Gong statue, he can only go to the auction house. In order to attract attention, the auction will inevitably release this gimmick first, and will not be auctioned immediately, and the real auction will be carried out only after earning enough attention, which is not a short time.

Moreover, in the auction house auction, the auction house has to charge all kinds of handling fees in the middle, in addition to Carter has to pay such and such taxes, which is also a lot of money.

Although Carter didn't know anything about the antique deal, she knew all about it. If you compare the two, Zheng Zheng's conditions are actually quite generous. 700,000 euros is enough for her to pay off her outstanding debts, and there is also some surplus, which is good for Carter now.

Moreover, Zheng Zheng has such a promise of 500,000 euros. It's definitely not that easy to get this money, but it's a hope, and these materials can be said to be in Carter's hands, if Zheng Zheng wants to crack the secret of Guan Gong's statue, it can be said that Carter has a great chance of getting this money. Her grandfather may not have recorded all the secrets in his diary, but he could provide some clues.

After thinking about it, Carter finally nodded: "Okay...... I accept your conditions. But please also ask Mr. Zheng to do what you say and give me the 700,000 euros immediately today. ”

Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "After the contract is signed and you bring your grandfather's records, the 700,000 euros can be credited to your account." ”

After the matter was negotiated, Carter didn't stay any longer, and left with the statue of Guan Gong. She was going back to bring all his grandfather's diaries and manuscripts and other things, and hand them over to Zheng Zheng along with the statue of Guan Gong.

Zheng Zheng was not idle here, he called Anna and found a professional trade lawyer through his connections to write a legally reasonable contract with legal effect. This trade lawyer is quite professional, and after accepting Zheng Zheng's entrustment, he quite implicitly stated that he could add some unequal clauses to the contract that were extremely favorable to Zheng Zheng through some legal and reasonable means, which could give Zheng Zheng great freedom.

Zheng Zheng did not agree to this proposal, but asked the lawyer to make a fair and restrictive transaction contract between the two parties. Business is business, and since the business is negotiated, it has to be a bit of a business, Zheng Zheng is not prepared to make any stumbling blocks for Carter in this place. He was able to do everything he said to Carter, and he wasn't prepared to play any tricks in it.

If there is really a clue in the information given by Carter that can directly help Zheng Zheng solve this mystery, then Zheng Zheng is willing to pay Carter 500,000 euros after solving this mystery. Although this is not a small number, it is not much compared to solving the mystery and being able to reproduce the vision on the Guan Gong statue.

It can't be said that Zheng Zheng hacked the money that Carter could have gotten, but she really couldn't get this money with Carter's own ability. If it weren't for the bronze scales, then those Buddha statues would naturally become fakes, and it would be normal for them to be sold at a low price by Carter; if Zheng Zheng knew about the situation, but didn't tell Carter, but bought those Buddha statues at a very low price, then Carter wouldn't even be able to get the 700,000 euros; if Zheng Zheng didn't help her meet the Guan Yu statue, then this pile of broken pieces would have no value at all.

Even Carter, a genius, restored this Guan Yu statue by himself, and also studied her grandfather's materials to crack the secret of Guan Yu's statue and master this technique. Then this technology in her hands may not bring her a total of 1.2 million euros.

It's a simple truth, that is, Carter doesn't have the connections in this area at all, and even if she has this technology, she can't sell it at a good price. Zheng Zheng is a businessman, but he is not the kind of black-hearted profiteer, but it is difficult to say whether other people are black-hearted profiteers.

Besides, if the records left by her grandfather didn't help to crack the Guan Gong statue at all, then the Guan Gong statue was just a gimmick that could change the material. And Zheng Zheng bought this thing, which is equivalent to 700,000 euros in water, which is a great loss.

Objectively speaking, this business is a sure profit for Carter in his current situation. But for Zheng Zheng, who invested 5 million euros to buy a stepping stone, it is unknown whether the 5 million will be lost or profitable.

In the afternoon, the lawyer sent Zheng Zheng the contract that was urgently written under the silver bullet offensive, Zheng Zheng read it once, the contract was quite professional, and he did not lose the money that Zheng Zheng spent.

A little later, Carter drove a pickup truck to Zheng Zheng's store, and in the compartment of the pickup truck were three large boxes one meter high.

"Are these your grandfather's records, Miss Carter?"

"Yes. ”

Carter looked back at the boxes and said to Zheng Zheng, "It's heavier, I suggest you find a few people to carry it." ”

"Very correct advice. Zheng Zheng nodded.

Zheng Zheng originally pondered, Carter's grandfather should not have many diaries and the like, and it would be great to be able to have a person tall when he was full. But looking at this movement now, Carter's grandfather was a hard-working man......

Temporarily found a few people to move these boxes into the store, Zheng Zheng handed the contract that had been written to Carter, and said: "This is the contract between us, please take a look, if there is no problem, we can sign this contract, and your money will be credited to your account immediately." ”

Zheng Zheng looked back at the three boxes placed in the hall and said to Carter, "Of course, these records are not considered in business. I'll look at the materials, find out what I need, make copies, and then return these notes to your grandfather. But if I need to check it out at any time, I hope you won't say no, Miss Carter. ”

Carter shook his head and said, "Don't bother, Mr. Zheng. These notes from my grandfather, even if they are given to you, don't make things so troublesome. ”

Zheng Zheng felt that it was a good thing to leave these for Carter as a souvenir, but since Carter didn't value them very much, Zheng Zheng was not reluctant. He stopped talking and sat quietly, waiting for Carter to read the contract.

Carter took a moment to look at the contract and then asked Zheng Zheng some questions about some of the issues in the contract. Wordplay is common in contracts, and Carter has to make sure that some of the sensitive clauses in the contract are not ambiguous. Zheng Zheng was not prepared to pit Carter on this at the beginning, so no matter what questions Carter raised, Zheng Zheng could give her a reasonable explanation.

After asking all the questions, Carter read the contract from the beginning again, and then breathed a sigh of relief and signed his name on the contract. The contract is in duplicate, Zheng Zheng and Carter each keep one copy, and if there is any problem in the future, the contract is valid.

When Zheng Zheng was doing business before, he rarely made any contracts with people, because those businesses were all one-shot deals, and there was nothing else to do with them. And this business, although it can also be regarded as a one-shot deal, Zheng Zheng still needs such a contract.

It's not that he can't trust Carter, he just made this contract to be able to Ancart's heart. Let Carter rest assured, let Carter be safeguarded, then Carter can do his best, so that he will not hide any important clues. To put it bluntly, this contract is a guarantee for Zheng Zheng to make this matter go more smoothly.

After signing the contract, Carter handed over the statue of Guan Yu to Zheng Zheng, and Zheng Zheng remitted the prepared arrears to Carter's account.
