Chapter 239: Scam 5.0
This question can only be explained by Zheng Fei, at this time, in people's minds, he is not one of the most well-informed people, and what he says is the most credible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"There is only one elephant in the world that can grow such tusks, and it is called the mammoth, which was once the largest elephant in the world, weighing four times as much as the others. ”
In fact, to be precise, this tusk belongs to the mammoth, the largest branch of mammoths, and the name comes from the ancient Russian word meaning "something that lurks underground", because all mammoths were found dead and buried in the earth.
Mammoths also have a very popular name - real mammoths. (Forgive me for checking the information and laughing when I saw this, 23333)
"Why did you say it was?"
The prince's emotions became more and more nervous, and he did not exhale for a long time with a sullen breath in his chest, you must know that if this giant ivory is brought back to Romania, who will compete with it?
This question was also what the rhinoceros horn giant wanted to ask, his expression was no calmer than that of the prince, he pinched the rhinoceros horn in his hand, and pricked up his ears and waited to hear Zheng Fei's explanation.
If you can find out where to hunt mammoths, you can make a fortune!
However, Zheng Fei's answer left him deeply disappointed.
"Because, in the ancient Greek period, the last mammoths became extinct. ”
Heartfelt sighs rang out in unison.
For many years, Europeans thought that the bison was the largest land creature, until North Africans made them see elephants and refreshed their worldview.
But just now, a circus owner from the East said that the mammoth weighed four times as much as the elephant! Everyone's curiosity was immediately aroused, and they were eager to see what it really looked like, was it bigger than a whale?
But now, the circus owners say that the mammoth is extinct, and they are chagrined.
"And where did you get this tusk?"
The prince and the rhinoceros horn merchant asked at the same time, and the strange coincidence made the two look at each other in surprise.
Ares shrugged his shoulders and said, "As I said before, a year ago I led a caravan to the northern glacier region to collect mink, and the carcass of a mammoth was frozen in a huge block of ice, and it took all my men two days to chisel it out and get the only giant tusk in the world! ”
The only one in the world, not exaggerated at all!
It is recorded that it was not until 1806 that the first mammoth carcass was found in Siberia.
Primitive man is unique with the mammoth tusks he picked out with his hands.
People sighed, staring directly at the mammoth tusks lying in the box, and it was even more mysterious with the only aura in the world.
After listening to what Ares said, the rhinoceros horn merchant gasped, there was nothing abnormal on the surface, but in fact, he had already begun to brew a plan to go all the way north, which was definitely a big deal for him, after all, it was mixed with the Mediterranean, not to mention the glaciers in the north, and even Northern Europe had never been there.
The prince, who was also anxiously waiting, could no longer restrain the excitement of the expansion in his heart, and grabbed the placket of Ares's clothes, almost shouting: "Give me this tusk!"
Ares was stunned, staring at his crazy eyes, and thought: "Little look, if you let go of me, I can abuse you with one hand."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you forcibly ask for it, it will damage the image of the Romanian royal family......"
The Romanian escort next to him, the leader of the Blade Knights, interjected stubbornly, looking embarrassed and embarrassed.
Before, the prince pretended to understand that the ginseng was fake, which was shameful enough, and now it is ......
As soon as he reminded him, the prince's mood stabilized a little, and he silently let go of Ares and cleared his throat with a grin.
"I mean, sell me this tusk. ”
"Oh~ How much can His Royal Highness the Prince give?"
Ares raised his eyebrows, his chest straight.
After thinking for a while, the prince gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "One million silver coins!"
Even in the ecstasy in his heart, Ares remained unmoved, and decisively raised his hand to signal his subordinates to close the box.
Everyone understands what he did, after all, it is the only priceless treasure in the world!
The prince himself understood in his heart, and hurriedly stopped him, rolling his eyes.
"One and a half million!"
Ares shook his head, not hesitating for half a second.
"Then you make a price!"
The prince roared again.
Hearing this, the corners of Ares' mouth lifted and his smile was hideous.
"Silver, twenty million!"
Million!
Suddenly, there was silence, and the people were so shocked that even their breath involuntarily slowed down.
What does 20 million silver coins mean?
The income of an ordinary family for 200,000 years, the total output value of a wine estate for thousands of years, can form a huge fleet that surpasses the Royal Italian Navy, and can buy an entire city!
Even the wealthy West Asian giants can't afford to spend so much money.
Perhaps only in the big country of the Celestial Dynasty in the East, the legendary wealthy businessman Shen Wansan, could afford to buy it.
Shen Wansan, who died in 1376, was a huge rich man in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, accumulating original wealth through overseas trade, and won the reputation of "huge capital and land all over the world".
His wealth was so rich that even Zhu Yuanzhang was blushing, and after suffering three heavy blows from the Ming Dynasty, the Shen family declined.
But even so, Shen Wansan's miraculous deeds have become legends, not only by the Ming Dynasty, but also spread overseas, worshiped by many European, Asian and African giants.
......
At this time, the people were eerily silent, and they all stared at the prince without moving, watching what happened.
Twenty million silver coins, the prince did not have.
All his current possessions were no more than three million silver coins converted into silver coins, and even if he sent someone back to Romania to retrieve them now, it would be useless.
Romania was at war with the West Asians, and its treasury was empty and it simply couldn't afford to come up with so much money.
What to do?
Unconsciously, cold sweat oozed from the prince's forehead, and he was desperate to get his hands on the ivory, but the other party's asking price was too outrageous.
But he can't find anything wrong with this asking price, because it is the only one in the world, and it is good that people are willing to sell it.
Slowly, he took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Can't we discuss it anymore?"
"No, you can't. Ares' answer was as crisp as that.
Noticing the prince's reaction, Zheng Fei frowned slightly, and immediately sneezed.
Ariston understood, pondered for a moment, and added, "However, we can talk about it again." ”
"How much?" asked the prince at once, nervous.
"You know, you can't buy this thing with money, let's go find a secluded place to talk, and by the way, call a notary. ”
The notary, of course, is Zheng Fei.
Target, a token of the descendants of Sparta. (To be continued.) )
