Chapter 432: Exchange
Under the light of the light in the display case, a dark gray, bone-like object caught Xiao Ping's attention. Anyone would think that this was a fossil at first glance, but only Xiao Ping knew that this thing was very similar to a divine bone. Whether it was the color, shape, or special luster, it was the same as the divine bones he had seen before.
Looking at the suspected divine bones in the display case, Xiao Ping couldn't help but think to himself: "Could this really be a divine bone?"
Seeing Xiao Ping looking at the display cabinet in a daze, Hazak Sultan couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, I'm fine. Xiao Ping, who came back to his senses, hurriedly pointed to the display cabinet and said, "That is a fossil, right?
The Sultan nodded magnanimously and said, "Of course, please." ”
"Thank you. Xiao Ping thanked the Sultan first, and then slowly walked towards the display case.
The closer he got to the cupboard, the more nervous Xiao Ping became, he had secretly made a decision that if he was sure that this was a divine bone, he would buy it from the Sultan at any cost.
When Xiao Ping walked a few steps away from the showcase, he felt that the demon refining pot "tattoo" on his arm began to sense. As Xiao Ping got closer and closer to the display case, the induction of the demon refining pot became more and more intense, which made him sure that this was definitely a divine bone.
When Xiao Ping gently picked up the divine bone, the induction of the demon refining pot also reached its peak. He only felt that his entire arm trembled slightly, and he had to use two hands to hold the divine bone.
In the eyes of Lin Zukang and Sultan, Xiao Ping's performance undoubtedly shows that he is very excited. The two looked at each other a little strangely, and then Lin Zukang, who was more familiar with Xiao Ping, asked, "Xiao Xiao." What's wrong with you, why are you so excited?"
"This is a fossil of an ancient creature!" Of course, Xiao Ping would not say that this was a divine bone. Instead, he said excitedly: "You don't know the way, I've been particularly interested in these things since I was a child. There are already quite a few fossils collected. But I've never seen it so rare, so I'm a little out of shape, and I'm really embarrassed. ”
Hearing Xiao Ping's explanation, Lin Zukang and Hazak were also relieved. Neither of them had much interest in fossils, and although some of the fossils were indeed rare, they were just some special stones in their eyes, and they were not anything particularly remarkable.
However, Xiao Ping was obviously very excited, and asked the Hazak Sultan with interest: "Your Excellency, can I know where this fossil came from?"
Hazak recalled. Then he shook his head blankly and said: "I can't remember exactly, I only remember that there was this fossil when I succeeded the Sultan, it should have been collected by my ancestors, or it may have been found by the people somewhere before, and then offered as a tribute." ”
Listening to Hazak speculate on the origin of the divine bones in a very indifferent tone, Xiao Ping couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. The less the Sultan values the bones, the better the chances he has of getting his hands on them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ping pretended to look at the divine bone in his hand, and let out a sigh of admiration from time to time, as if he loved this "fossil" very much. After looking at it for a while, Xiao Ping showed an embarrassed expression. As if engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, he finally made up his mind to say to Hazak: "Your Excellency, I like this fossil very much, if you will. I'd like to exchange those pieces of agarwood for you, what do you think?"
Hearing Xiao Ping's words, Lin Zukang and Hazak were all taken aback.
Lin Zukang valued the agarwood at $7 million, and this price has been approved by the Khazak Sultan. Although some rare fossils are indeed precious. But that's also for paleontologists. For the average collector, even a complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton fossil. It's not worth that much money.
Xiao Ping was willing to exchange seven million dollars for such a small fossil, how much did he like this thing?
As Xiao Ping's year-old friend. Lin Zukang spoke first: "Xiao Xiao, you have to think about this matter carefully before making a decision, don't be impulsive." ”
The Khazak Sultan was also surprised. As a sultan of this generation, he knew the collections well. Hazak knew that this was just an ordinary fossil, but it had not yet been determined which ancient creature it belonged to, but it was definitely not worth that much money.
The kind-hearted Sultan didn't want to watch Xiao Ping suffer, so he persuaded him with Lin Zukang: "That's right, you should think about it carefully, this fossil is not worth so much money." ”
For Xiao Ping, the value of this divine bone could not be measured by money at all. Divine bones are not as common as jade, and it is not easy to find one, and he will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Smiling gratefully at the two who were kind enough to persuade him, Xiao Ping said solemnly: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I like to collect these." And this fossil is very suitable for my eyes, and I don't think it's a loss to spend such a price. ”
Seeing Xiao Ping so persistent, Lin Zukang no longer persuaded him. For him, he has fulfilled his responsibility as a friend, and in the end, Xiao Ping has to make his own decisions.
After convincing Lin Zukang, Xiao Ping once again solemnly said to the Khazak Sultan: "Your Excellency, I really hope to exchange agarwood for this fossil, please fulfill it." ”
Hazak looked at the small fossil in Xiao Ping's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The Hazak family is hereditary as the Sultan of Johor with hundreds of years. After the accumulation of dozens of generations, the family's wealth should not be underestimated. But even so, having to spend seven million dollars at once to buy three sections of agarwood made the Hazak Sultan feel a little difficult.
A small fossil is not very important. Although this is a collection left by Hazak's ancestors, successive sultans also had the habit of giving gifts to others. So it's not unacceptable to exchange this fossil with Xiao Ping for agarwood.
Thinking of this, Hazak quickly made a decision and said to Xiao Ping seriously: "I accept your suggestion to exchange this fossil for agarwood." But I'll pay you another two million dollars, that's my bottom line, if you don't accept it, then I'd rather buy these agarwoods directly for seven million dollars at the price proposed by Zu Kang!"
The Khazak Sultan did this for a reason. He has always been a person who cherishes his reputation very much, but he doesn't want to leave others with the excuse that he is bullying the small and taking advantage of Xiao Ping. Now Hazak added an extra two million dollars to the conditions put forward by Xiao Ping, which was enough to silence everyone who questioned the matter.
For Xiao Ping, these two million were an unexpected surprise, and he immediately stretched out his hand to Hazak and said, "I have no opinion, deal!"
"Happy cooperation!" The Sultan's hand and Xiao Ping clasped tightly, indicating that Xiao Ping had become the new owner of the divine bones. (To be continued.) )
