Chapter 1081: Finding the Source of the Breakthrough
The old patriarch sighed heavily, raised his hand and rubbed his temples. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then the brilliance of the magic crystal chandelier, Yang Yi accidentally caught a glimpse of a few more white hairs between the old patriarch's dark red temples......
"Old Patriarch, I ......"
Yang Yi really wanted to tell the old patriarch the truth immediately.
Seeing that Yang Yi wanted to speak and stopped, the old patriarch didn't think much about it, just shook his head and got up to leave.
Looking at the back of the old patriarch leaving, Yang Yi's eyes were cloudy.
All along, the most unbearable thing for him was contempt. The others were just fine, but even the old patriarch had such an attitude, which really made him extremely depressed.
Old patriarch, one day you will know: Yang Yi will definitely fulfill Gong Yina's last wish.
Of course, Yang Yi knew that the time was not yet ripe, so he could only continue to hold back. So, he let go of his clenched fist and turned back to his courtyard, which was located in the most remote part of the Gong family's mansion.
The fat boss arrived as promised, and he was personally guided by Gauss to Yangyi's residence. However, the gentleman was not attracted by the luxury of the Gong Mansion or intimidated by the majesty of the place, but continued to admire these objects with ancient history with the eye of a connoisseur.
When Yang Yi appeared, this gentleman was staring at a magic crystal statue in the corner of the wall, muttering to himself: "This is Master Qiu's work, it is Master Qiu'......"
"Mr. Fat Boss, I didn't expect you to be an art connoisseur. ”
Hearing Yang Yi's voice, the Demon Crystal Merchant came back to his senses and looked away from the Demon Crystal statue in the corner.
"You've won the prize!" said the fat boss with a bow, "but the fine art on the Gong Mansion can be seen everywhere, and a small businessman like me vainly tries to value it at a glance." ”
"Hmm, valuation?" Yang Yi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since you are so interested, please make a price for this magic crystal statue that fascinates you!"
"Don't dare!" the fat boss owes himself, saying that he doesn't dare to make a mistake.
"Tell you to valuate, and you will valuate. Yang Yi deliberately frowned.
The fat boss seemed to be really frightened by him, and immediately said: "Since this is the case, I will be ugly." ”
"Please!" Yang Yi finished speaking, staring at the magic crystal statue with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for the fat boss's offer.
"If I'm not mistaken, this crystal statue is supposed to be the work of Master Qiu, a master carver, and it is the masterpiece of his heyday. ”
"I just want to hear what the price is, and as for the rest, I don't care. ”
The fat boss smiled, but did not show any disdain, he raised his hand and gestured, but did not speak.
"Three thousand gold coins?" Yang Yi said guessingly.
Yang Yi is still satisfied with the fat boss's reaction, if he changes to a businessman, he will inevitably show that kind of disdainful gaze when he sees his unlearned and unskilled performance.
However, he also wanted to add fuel to the fire to see what the fat boss's city government was like, so as to confirm whether he was up to the task he was about to entrust. Therefore, knowing that the fat boss was valued at 30,000, Yang Yi said that it was 3,000.
"Thirty thousand!" the fat boss corrected, without any special expression on his face, "The price can even reach this number on the black market," his hand gestured to indicate "five", "I don't know ......"
"Don't think about it!" Yang Yi waved his hand to break him, "Although Yang Yi is a loser in the eyes of others, he has not yet been a bastard to the point of selling other people's ancestral inheritance. ”
"Of course, of course. The fat boss laughed.
"Well, I guess Your Excellency is also speculating why I want to see you in person, instead of sending my men to pay you directly. ”
"Yes, the villain has been pondering this matter, but unfortunately he can't figure it out, and he hopes that Young Master Yangyi will solve the villain's doubts. ”
"I'm just wondering where you got those high-grade magic crystals in your hands. ”
"This ......" the fat boss had an embarrassed expression.
"It's just you and me here, so you don't have to worry about anything. To be honest, the high-grade magic crystals you sold me were never from the same sellers. ”
"You ......"
"What, I said yes?"
"Yes!"
"I just want to know where the last one came from. Yang Yi raised the purple velvet bag from yesterday.
"The Last ......"
"It's the one you don't want to show me. ”
"That one doesn't cost money! Young master, you also saw that the fat boss didn't want to sell it to you at that time, and its condition was indeed a little worse. It's okay to deceive ordinary people, and an expert like you can naturally distinguish the high and low at a glance......"
"Stop, stop, I said, Fat boss, what are you talking about? I'm not asking you to ask for guilt, I'm just wondering who sold it to you. ”
"Do you want to ...... Do you want to denounce the counterfeiters?"
"You don't have to guess. I just want to know who this person is, I need to ask him something. ”
"You're really not going to catch this counterfeiter?"
"What's in it for me?"
The fat boss groaned slightly: "Okay, let me tell you, he is a young man who works at the Shire Magic Crystal Jewelry Store, and his right hand was accidentally cut off three fingers, so he lost his job. Life was unsustainable, so he quietly took out the high-grade magic crystal from the jewelry processing workshop to find a buyer. At that time, I happened to be looking for a source of goods at the free trade market in Repulse City, and I happened to run into him. There is no doubt that this is a high-level magic crystal that has been imitated quite cleverly. I bought it for a tenth of the original price, which was a thousand gold coins. ”
"Well, a thousand gold coins, presumably this gentleman can buy a piece of land of about three acres on the outskirts of Repulse City, build a small mansion, and use the rest of the money as an investment, not surprisingly, he will get an annuity of about one hundred gold coins a year, and he and his family can live a peaceful and stable life. ”
"If you're on a budget, that's probably enough. The fat boss obviously didn't expect that a noble son who was famous in Gong Cheng, a wealthy man, would understand the whole meaning of five hundred gold coins to an ordinary family so well, and he couldn't help but look at the young master of the big family in front of him with a strange look.
He couldn't figure out how the best boy who spent a lot of money in people's eyes could arrange this thousand gold coins for a common man so reasonably.
"However," Yang Yi said, "I think that a young man, although he has lost three fingers, should still have some longing in his heart, and he is not willing to live in a small mansion and live his life in peace." He should aspire to the day when angels will come upon him with the blessings of the god of luck and make him renew his desire for life and continue the dream he once chased. ”
The fat boss didn't understand what Yang Yi was going to do at all, but seeing that Yang Yi was so serious, he hesitated a little and immediately asked, "Young Master Yang Yi, then what do you ask me to do?"
"Find this person and tell him that there is a gentleman who is interested in the magic crystal he once sold, and wants to learn more about it through him. ”
"Do you want to find out who actually made this fake of this high-level magic crystal?"
"You don't have to worry about that. All you have to do is take responsibility for finding this person and bringing them to me. When the work is done, I promise to give you a satisfactory reward. Hmm! I think Your Excellency must have had such an idea, or this is the ideal that you have buried in your heart and have always worked for - to become the largest magic crystal merchant in the entire continent!"
"Monopolize the magic crystal business of the entire continent?!" the fat boss widened his eyes.
"Do you think I'm joking?"
The fat boss nodded, then shook his head again.
"Well, indeed," Yang Yiwei groaned, and added, "it is indeed difficult to convince a cautious businessman of these words from the mouth of a swinger, but go ahead and find the young man, and bring him in, and the truth will be revealed." ”
