Chapter 371: Price

Seeing that Liang Wenyan finally got to the point, Zheng Zheng was no longer pressing, and said with a smile: "Can't afford it?" maybe...... But as long as it's valuable, it's easy to do, and you can negotiate it slowly. Tell me about your offer, and I'll hear it. ”

Liang Wenyan shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this first...... Mr. Zheng, since you are one of the four masters of antiques, you should also know something about the inheritance of the Liang family, right?

Zheng Zheng said: "Not much, I just know that this is a treasure, which can make people find the antiques they want to find." That's why I'm here. ”

Liang Wenyan said: "What you said is not bad, it's just ...... Mr. Zheng, think about it, what should you pay for such a treasure that is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people? You and I are both businessmen, and we all know that there is a gift to gain, and this treasure is the same, and if you want to use it, there is also a price. ”

Liang Wenyan's tone changed, he looked at Zheng Zheng, and asked word by word: "Mr. Zheng, do you know what the price you have to pay for using this treasure?"

Zheng Zheng really knew this very well, his bronze balance would consume vitality, and by extension, other treasures should also be a tune when used, and a certain amount of vitality would be consumed. Maybe because of the different abilities of various treasures, the amount of vitality consumed is also different, but there is no way to calculate and analyze this at all, after all, the vitality is a bit mysterious, how to calculate it? Zheng Zheng only had such a conjecture, and he didn't confirm it.

Now that Liang Wenyan asked about this, Zheng Zheng naturally couldn't show that he knew all this very well, and asked very cooperatively: "What kind of price is needed?"

Liang Wenyan looked at Zheng Zheng fixedly for a while, shook his head, and said, "It seems that Mr. Zheng, you don't know much about this...... Would you like to hear me about these treasures? ”

Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

"No one knows where this treasure – this treasure beyond the imagination of ordinary people – came from and who made it, but there have been similar legends since ancient times. ”

Liang Wenyan was not in a hurry, and began to tell Zheng Zheng about these things: "For ordinary people, these are just legends. But for those who got this treasure by chance, it's not a legend, it's a real thing. With this kind of treasure, it is really simple to achieve a career, and it can be said that there is gold everywhere for him to pick up. However, while this kind of treasure brings such benefits, it also has a price that ordinary people can hardly bear. ”

After a pause, Liang Wenyan continued: "The so-called price also varies depending on the treasure. As far as our Liang family knows, there are two kinds of treasures, one is a bronze treasure and the other is a silver treasure. As for whether there are categories other than these two treasures, it is unknown. ”

Zheng Zheng's heart moved, and he asked, "Bronze treasure, silver treasure?"

Liang Wenyan's words made Zheng Zheng feel a little interesting. His bronze balance seems to be counted in the bronze treasures, and the virtual and real mirrors should also be listed as bronze treasures, but I don't know what the essential difference between this silver treasure and the bronze treasure is in addition to the material.

"Yes, according to the material of the treasures we know, they can be divided into these two categories. ”

Liang Wenyan nodded and continued: "Generally speaking, silver treasures are more capable than bronze treasures, but this is not necessarily, because some bronze treasures are more targeted, and to a certain extent, silver treasures cannot be compared. But the biggest difference between these two types of treasures is the cost of using them. ”

Zheng Zheng listened carefully and did not speak. He also wanted to know what the price of using the silver treasure would be.

"The bronze treasure is okay, what needs to be consumed is life force. ”

Saying that, Liang Wenyan paused, looked at Zheng Zheng and smiled, and said: "When I say 'vitality', Mr. Zheng won't think I'm talking nonsense, right? It's just that at this point, I can guarantee that I am absolutely not talking nonsense, the use of bronze treasures consumes vitality, and in layman's terms, it will reduce lifespan, but it is not limited to reducing lifespan, and it will also immediately make the user's body unhealthy...... So, can Mr. Zheng understand?"

Zheng Zheng said: "In other words, the use of bronze treasures will have two effects, one is immediate, that is, it gradually makes people's bodies unhealthy, and the other is to reduce the lifespan of one...... Is that what you mean?"

Liang Wenyan nodded and said, "Yes...... Does Mr. Zheng think this statement is ridiculous?"

Zheng Zheng shook his head and said: "No, it will not be unfounded to let Mr. Liang tell me so solemnly, I am willing to believe what you said, Mr. Liang." ”

If it was the first time he heard someone say this, Zheng Zheng must have thought that the other party's head was cramping. However, Zheng Zheng himself is a user of the Bronze Scale, and judging from his own experience, Liang Wenyan is right. Let's not talk about life expectancy, this is a bit of an illusory thing, and no one can say for sure.

However, Zheng Zheng has experienced the fact that the consumption of vitality makes the body unhealthy, and when he used the bronze balance frequently and did not get the medicinal bath prescription, his body was less flexible than usual. At the time, I thought it was a lack of activity and exercise, so my body became a little worse, but when I looked back later, it should be the consequence of the frequent use of bronze balances during that time.

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for your trust......"

Liang Wenyan nodded and continued: "Compared to the silver treasure, the bronze balance is a little better, after all, it only consumes life force. But what the silver treasure consumes is not something as simple as vitality......"

Speaking of this, Liang Wenyan sighed, turned to Zheng Zheng and asked, "Mr. Zheng, let me ask you, do you believe that people have souls?"

Zheng Zheng was stunned for a moment, this statement of comparable vitality is so mysterious that he doesn't know where to go, if it is said that there is a soul, then wouldn't it make sense to say that the gods and ghosts are gone? Although Zheng Zheng already has a relatively mysterious bronze scale, it is still difficult to make him believe this.

After pondering for a while, Zheng Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "This kind of thing...... It's really hard to believe or not believe. Mr. Liang has something to say, what you want to say should have little to do with whether I believe in a soul or not, right?"

Liang Wenyan nodded, waved his hand again, and said, "What the silver treasure consumes is the user's soul. In fact, if you want to say that it is a soul, this is indeed a bit inaccurate, but let's call it that...... When I first started using the silver treasure, it was just insomnia and dreams, and I was easily frightened and irritable, but the more I used it, the less clear the user's mind became, and if I continued to use it, the better result would be a vegetative person, and I would no longer have any consciousness. The almost result was that he went crazy and died, and his death was horrible and unbearable. ”

"Is there such a thing......?"

Liang Wenyan said it really, Zheng Zheng gasped when he heard it, and said in his heart that this silver treasure is stronger than the bronze treasure, this is really not unreasonable, just this "fuel" is more noble and cold than the bronze treasure.

"yes......"

Liang Wenyan sighed with emotion and said, "All kinds of precedents of my Liang family are all in the record, alas...... My Liang family has such a silver treasure, it's really hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse......"

Listening to Liang Wenyan's words, Zheng Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Listening to Mr. Liang's statement, the family inheritance of the Liang family is a silver treasure?"

Liang Wenyan nodded solemnly and said, "Not bad." ”

Zheng Zheng maintained the previous shocked expression on his face, and nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Liang Wenyan's statement. But in his heart, Zheng Zheng didn't believe Liang Wenyan's statement.

If you say it before, Zheng Zheng still believes what Liang Wenyan said. However, after he said that the Liang family's family inheritance was a silver treasure, Zheng Zheng understood that those statements were almost paving the way for what Liang Wenyan said, and it was also to pave the way for rejecting Zheng Zheng.

Judging from the information given by Zheng Yonghe, the Liang family's marine salvage business is getting bigger and bigger, and the auction house under its name has a lot of transactions in each auction, and most of them are antiques salvaged from the bottom of the sea. It is more difficult to salvage the sea than to find a tomb on land, and it is not clear where there is a shipwreck or where there is treasure, either because you can find information from some historical records, or you have done a detailed exploration of a certain area of the sea. However, it is too much luck to find information from historical records, and to do detailed exploration of a certain sea area is too time-consuming, and there is also some element of luck.

The marine salvage company that operates in this mode wants to make a single business for at least half a year, which is still lucky, and if you are unlucky, you will be busy for a year and a half without any gain, and this kind of thing is also very common.

And the Liang family, with a shipping company to support many auctions under their name, can this be operated according to the model of an ordinary salvage company? Or is it that the people in charge of the Liang family's salvage are all so lucky that they can get back the harvest every time they go to sea? If it is said that the Liang family has never used the family inheritance because of the consumption of soul by the treasures in the family -- let's agree with this statement -- then Zheng Zheng will not believe it if he is killed.

Seeing that Zheng Zheng was silent, Liang Wenyan said: "So, this is what I said before, the reason why Mr. Zheng can't afford to pay this price." It's not a question of price at all, it's a problem that money can't solve. Such a big price, even if there is more money, it cannot be remedied. I would also like to ask Mr. Zheng's forgiveness for this. ”

Zheng Zheng had been prepared for Liang Wenyan's words, and when he heard him say this, he secretly shook his head in his heart, but his face was a little lost, and said, "Then say so, is this matter really impossible to negotiate?"

Liang Wenyan smiled apologetically and said: "As one of the four masters of antiques, even if the Liang family is not in the country now, the love is still there." Our Liang family also wants to help Mr. Zheng, but it's a pity that this matter is really powerless. ”
