John Welford had thought about this time, one last time to raise the price. Zhang Fan only needs to add it again, and he will stop. It was Zhang Fan who paid off the debt for Manchester United.

However, the events that followed turned out to be completely unexpected. Zhang Fan suddenly gave up the price increase, leaving John Wilford in a moment of great confusion and panic.

The bank had already issued a notice to him, and if he didn't pay the money, he would be sued in court. And if he fights a lawsuit, it is absolutely impossible for him to win, and it is a matter of course to be forced to use all his property to repay the money.

What's even more exaggerated is that if the wealth is not enough, he will go to jail!

The court will not enforce your property on the basis of the actual price, and it is a very lucky thing to be able to sell it for half of its original value. John Wilford had already calculated that if he couldn't pay back the money and was forced by the court, he would only become a poor man and be thrown into prison.

John Wilford shuddered at the thought of that terrible consequence.

In fact, it is no secret that John Wilford owned a precious piece of Chinese porcelain. And there are also many people who have the idea of this porcelain. It's just that John Wilford has been waiting for the price to sell, and has not made a sale.

But now, John Wilford's plight has long been known to everyone, and there are countless people who have come to the door to ask for the acquisition of the Chinese artifact. It's just that these people wanted to beat the water dogs, and the price they offered almost made John Welford vomit blood in anger.

When the auction was over, Sotheby's men approached him and sternly warned him that if he couldn't pay the price the agent shouted out, Sotheby would not give up!

Southby's business, John Wilford, is out of business now. The deposit he had managed to get was taken away, and it was the money he borrowed from a loan on the black market! If he couldn't pay it back, even if he went to prison, those people wouldn't let him go!

Banks, black market loans, and Sotheby. For a split second, John Wilford felt as if he was against the whole world.

In desperation, the only thing John Wilford could think of was to go to Zhang Fan. After all, Zhang Fan was really interested in this Chinese artifact, even if he was only willing to pay half of the previous money, he could save John Wilford from these disasters.

"John Wilford?" Zhang Fan, who was refreshed in the morning, was about to go to breakfast with Lin Yueying after washing up, but learned from his assistant that an Englishman named John Wilford had been waiting in the hotel last night to see him. Zhang Fan did not have the slightest impression of this unfamiliar name.

But look at him waited here all night last night, he has been drinking coffee in the hotel since the time when he had a bright spring night and enjoyed unlimited time. Zhang Fan decided to give him a few minutes before breakfast.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. "John Wilford was well-dressed, wearing a top hat, holding a staff of civilization, and meticulously groomed his beard, looking more like a gentleman of the nineteenth century. Only the thick dark circles under the eyes looked very incongruous. But now this gentleman is very respectful in front of Zhang Fan, even more respectful than Zhang Fan's butler James.

Zhang Fan glanced at John Wilford's outstretched hand and ignored him, and directly turned around and sat down on the sofa in the living room, "Looking for me?"

John Wilford's hands stiffened in mid-air, and a flash of anger flashed across his face, but he quickly relented. Now he is begging Zhang Fan, and he is not qualified to ask for anything more.

With a difficult smile, John Wilford turned to look at Zhang Fan, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are very interested in the Chinese blue and white porcelain that Sotheby's auction house sold last night?"

Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed instantly.

Although Zhang Fan is not a genius, he has already experienced a lot of experience after experiencing so many things. After John Wilford said this, he instantly understood that the well-dressed guy in front of him was the bastard who buried himself in the back and wanted to make a mess of himself.

"That was yesterday. Zhang Fan showed a smile and waved his hand indifferently, "I don't care about this matter today." If you don't have anything else to do, please leave. I'm going to have breakfast. ”

John Wilford was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Zhang Fan to respond like this, originally in his imagination, when he said this, Zhang Fan should have been very excited to ask for relevant information in detail. How can you be so impatient to leave just by hearing the beginning?

Breakfast is very important, but John Wilford, who was full of coffee at this time, was more concerned about whether he would have the opportunity to eat breakfast in the future. So he couldn't watch Zhang Fan leave no matter what.

"Mr. Zhang. Seeing that Zhang Fan really got up and was about to leave for breakfast, John Wilford finally became anxious. He didn't care about continuing to maintain his demeanor, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "That's the case, the seller of that blue and white porcelain is me." Sotheby said that the person who took the blue and white porcelain last night refused to pay, so the deal fell through. I saw that you value this artwork so much, that's why I came to you. ”

Zhang Fan paused and looked at John Wilford with a sneer. Think of yourself as not just a seller, but a buyer. I didn't fall into your trap, and this thing naturally fell into your own hands. Now you are in such a hurry to come to me, is it very short of money?

"Can you tell me about the origin of this thing?" Zhang Fan sat down on the sofa again and asked curiously, "Why are you so eager to make a move?"

Sensing the change in Zhang Fan's attitude, John Wilford hurriedly told the origin of this blue and white porcelain. At the same time, he described his bad situation at this time in a modified way. After all, he still wanted to maintain a minimum of decency in front of Zhang Fan.

After listening to John Wilford's story, Zhang Fan's eyelids jumped slightly. Sure enough, just as he thought, this Yuan Qinghua was indeed handed down from Huaxia. It was just the Old Summer Palace period more than 100 years ago. The ancestor of this John Wilford was a robber who took part in that robbery. Now he is actually taking out the stolen things and selling them in a grand manner.

In addition, Zhang Fan also felt very funny. Although John Wilford used embellishment to describe his own experience. And there is no mention of finding someone to be a water army and borrowing money from the black market. However, Zhang Fan was able to understand his real situation at this time in an instant.

IQ is not online. knew that he was selling things to Zhang Fan, but he didn't care about exposing his bottom line in front of Zhang Fan. In this case, if Zhang Fan doesn't kill you, then what kind of businessman is he called?

In fact, the whole social system of Britain has been very rigid since the old days are gone. Don't look like they are all educated, but in fact most British people are not flexible. Far from being able to compare with the people of those vibrant countries. Like the Americans in the era of the rise, and the Asia in the age of the Four Tigers. And, of course, the current Huaxia.

John Wilford was just a very, very ordinary man. There is not much wisdom and shrewdness. Otherwise, you won't be cheated.

In fact, his ancestors snatched far more than a piece of blue and white porcelain from China, and many works of art were brought back to England by him. It was these looted treasures from the Far East that led John Wilford's ancestors from a penniless ordinary London suburb citizen to a wealthy man.

It can be said that everything that the Wilford family now has was actually stolen from China. It's just that future generations don't have any brains, and although they live a rich life, they don't have vision. In order to make ends meet, I had to sell the stolen artworks one by one. It was only then that John Wilford came out with the last and most precious thing.

Living in a rigid country, John Wilford had little vision to speak of. After telling this, he looked at Zhang Fan with hopeful eyes, "Mr. Zhang, if you are interested, I can sell you this blue and white porcelain." ”

After a pause, John Wilford couldn't help but be greedy, "Just follow what you offered last night." ”

His own intellect is mediocre, but his greed is masterful. It's been such a time, and he still thinks about being able to cut meat from Zhang Fan. Sure enough, it's about the same as this country. I want to save face and want to have a lining, but I never want to think about what confidence I have to ask for this.

For this kind of person, Zhang Fan's response was very simple and direct, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in this thing right now." ”

It was just a sentence, but it drove John Wilford into the abyss.

John Wilford is now in debt, both black and white. If he can't afford to pay back, he will not only become bankrupt himself, but also endure inhuman torture in prison. No matter how you look at it, it's something he's trying to avoid. And at this time, Zhang Fan is his only hope, the only hope to fish him out of the abyss. Now when I hear Zhang Fan say that he is not interested, it is like the sky has fallen.

"Mr. Zhang!!" John Wilford pounced on him with a pale face and tried to grab Zhang Fan's arm, but was directly taken down by the security assistant on the side and pressed to the ground.

"You want to rob?" Zhang Fan looked at the embarrassed John Wilford and joked with a smile, "Although I am very rich, it is not easy to rob me." ”

"No, Mr. Zhang. John Wilford was pressed to the ground and his head was pressed into the thick carpet, and he did not dare to struggle, and hurriedly explained, "I mean, if you are interested, I can sell it to you cheaply!"

"Cheap?" Zhang Fan raised his hand and rubbed his chin, "How much?"

John Wilford no longer dared to ask for a price, and hurriedly shouted, "Fifteen million, fifteen million dollars!"
