Chapter 572: Negotiation
"Ten pieces? Oh, does Miss Anne think that the most valuable scabbard worn by the legendary king of your country is only worth ten antiques? ”
Things are as expected, after the Empress of England met Xiao Zhou for the first time, although she didn't say a word about King Arthur's holy sword scabbard, it was only the first time that it was inappropriate, and when the two sides met for the second time a few days later, the matter of the holy sword scabbard was finally mentioned there.
What he said was nothing more than that if Zhou Mingluo planned to sell this treasure, the British side was willing to offer a suitable price to make Zhou Mingluo satisfied.
When the problem really came, Zhou Mingluo did not refuse, meaning that it could be discussed.
But when it comes to talking, both sides are undoubtedly scary with lions opening their mouths.
In the spacious hotel living room, Zhou Mingluo and the Empress sat on one side drinking tea with a smile, and on both sides of a glass table like a semi-negotiation table, a handsome, calm and handsome young man suddenly let out a slightly shocked chuckle as a blonde woman with a gorgeous and sexy face and a uniform and skirt on the opposite side spoke.
The young man was a negotiator found by a group of mercenaries, surnamed Fang's name, not only good looking, good talking, but also extremely good negotiation skills and experience, under Zhou Mingluo's will, he was responsible for this first contact with the British side.
And after Fang Cheng got on the table, he said that it was not impossible for the British side to get back King Arthur's holy sword scabbard, their boss was not short of money, but just hoped to exchange the Chinese collection in the British Museum for goods.
Hearing this, the blonde beauty on the other side also smiled faintly, and immediately agreed, as long as this side is willing to sell the holy sword scabbard, it can be exchanged for one for ten, and this side can choose any rich Chinese collection in the British Museum.
According to Zhou Mingluo's explanation, it is impossible to exchange this holy sword scabbard for all the Chinese treasures in the entire British Museum, but at least it has to be changed to four figures, but I didn't expect that as soon as the British side spoke, there were only ten.
That's a big gap, isn't it?
Even if you know that you will have to bargain later, the starting point of this price is too low.
Laughing lightly, the Chinese carrier unconsciously glanced at Zhou Mingluo, who was drinking tea with the Empress of England, before he smiled and said, "Could it be that in the hearts of the British people, the treasures of their legendary ancestors are so worthless." ”
"Huh." In the face of Fang's words, the blonde girl on the opposite side let out a coquettish smile, "I said ten, which is already very good to prove the preciousness of the holy sword scabbard brought by His Majesty King Arthur, this is mainly because the artwork created by the ancestors of your country is too precious, such as the female history map of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty of your country, the meaning and value do not need me to say more, does Mr. Fang think that the artwork that condenses the countless civilization inheritance of the ancestors of your country is so far worse than the holy sword scabbard of our King Arthur?" To exchange one for ten, I am afraid that it will insult the ancestors of your country. ”
Miss Anne spoke English, and Fang carried the whole journey in Mandarin, but everyone here could hear clearly, this girl looked charming and moving, but her words were also extremely sharp, and she attacked with Fang Cheng's spear.
"That's different, I don't mean to underestimate the civilization inheritance of my ancestors at all." And Fang Chengyun also seemed to have expected the other party to say this, otherwise he wouldn't dare to ask casually, "King Arthur's holy sword is a legendary artifact, which not only represents an ordinary humanistic heritage, but also contains the heart of myths and legends......
chuckled and talked eloquently, and quickly picked up the previous topic, with Fang Chengyun's explanation, the other side was still full of smiles and good manners, until it was really explained by Fang Chengyun, Anne smiled coquettishly and raised her good-looking moth eyebrows, "Thank you Mr. Fang for complimenting our King Arthur so much, okay, I don't know how many pieces of civilization inheritance created by your ancestors you want to exchange for?" ”
"Twenty thousand." Fang Chengyun's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and a light number suddenly made Annie's eyes wide, although she had already known that there would also be a lion opening her mouth here, and she had also known that a holy sword scabbard was only exchanged for ten antiques, which was indeed unrealistic, but she didn't expect to be able to open her mouth to this.
20,000 pieces? If it is 20,000 pieces of antiques selected by the Chinese side, the value of the taken away will definitely exceed the scabbard of King Arthur's holy sword, mainly the collection of the British Museum, there are really too many treasures, Gu Kaizhi's female history map, although the female history picture has now been judged by experts, it does not seem to be genuine, but only a copy of the Tang Dynasty, but it is far more artistic than the copy of the Southern Song Dynasty that is now collected in the Palace Museum. It is also regarded as a treasure such as a town hall.,In addition to these.,All kinds of other precious antiques.,There's a lot of the same.。
Whether it is its quantity and preciousness, it is enough to make any Chinese unforgettable, really let the other party pick 20,000 pieces at will, and empty the museum at once, even if the holy sword scabbard not only contains ordinary cultural heritage, but also contains mythological mysteries, which is no longer comparable to ordinary antiques, you can exchange 20,000 ......
"Mr. Fang, it seems that you don't have the sincerity to sell the Holy Sword scabbard." Glaring at the past, Miss Anne smiled and gently pulled the hair behind her ears, her eyes full of helplessness.
"Miss Anne, our sincerity is very sufficient, and now it seems that it is you who lack sincerity." Fang Chengyun didn't do anything at all, just smiled faintly.
At the negotiation table, both sides were arguing with reason, but Zhou Mingluo and the Queen of England on the sofa in the distance were laughing and silent, as if they had not heard each other's lion open mouth at all.
However, Zhou Mingluo still felt a slight pain, at first he thought that the British side could at least take out three-digit antiques in exchange, who would have thought that this time he opened his mouth, but there were only ten pieces over there.
It really made him slightly depressed.
I'm afraid this talk is really difficult to carry out, it is conceivable that it will not be done in a day or two, but how to say it, Zhou Mingluo is not in a hurry, this kind of negotiation especially involves chalk, sometimes it is normal to talk for ten days and a half or even a few months.
This is the first time that he and the Empress will come forward, that is, it should be a scene, after this time, how to talk in the future will be a competition over there, and it will not affect him, he can let go and let the other side talk by himself.
And another thing that happened in the past few days was that a certain deputy commander personally rushed to Zhongzhou, took Yue Lun, and asked that Lun Dashao to meet Zhou Mingluo in the same posture as a close hand to bear the guilt, that is, the morning of the second day when he and the Empress of England met for the first time.
Although the deputy commander over there gave himself enough face, Zhou Ming fell into more than just a face, mainly because Yue Lun's behavior at that time was too disgusting to him, and it can also be said that he was disgusted, such a guy, in broad daylight, when he saw a beautiful woman in public, he dared to go up and flirt like that, but you can imagine what this Lun Shao's style was like in private.
So even in the face of the deputy commander's plea, Zhou Mingluo still didn't let go, but just said it lightly, as long as Old Man Xu didn't care, he didn't care.
Well, this is also the reason why Zhou Mingluo did not personally clean up Yue Lun at the beginning, because the person who was molested by the other party was a member of the Xu family, it is conceivable that even if Xiao Zhou didn't do it, he just watched coldly, what would happen to that Yue Lun, after all, Xu Caiwen was the most beloved heavy chop girl of Old Man Xu.
If his favorite heavy chopping girl is molesting people on the street, and Old Man Xu is indifferent, then this most beloved word is not worthy of the name, with Old Man Xu behind him, Zhou Mingluo is too lazy to spoil his interest.
In fact, it is indeed as he expected, in the past, Vice President Xu called for Xu Caiwen to come to Zhongzhou to see Wu Xian, which was a blind date, when Xu Caiwen showed great resistance, the Xu family even wanted to cut off her financial resources to show oppression, whether the old man Xu knew about those things, outsiders could not speculate at all, but when Xu Caiwen was really almost molested and suffered a big loss, it was obviously impossible for the Xu family to be invisible.
It is said that a certain deputy commander just brought Yue Lun to Xiao Zhou to make amends, and he was ashen, and soon after that, the anger of Master Xu's hand poured out, this anger was not Commander Yue of Needle Ran, but only aimed at Yue Lun.
The one was directly arrested for the crime of intent to molest women, and naturally no one dared to stop him in the process, and the deputy commander of Yue was also trembling, and sent the police inspectors who came to arrest Lun Dashao to leave, without saying a word from beginning to end, but when the police inspectors left, the whole body was completely paralyzed.
Old Man Xu doesn't seem to be targeting him, but when he reaches a certain circle, can he hide some things, his good son even dares to tease Old Man Xu's favorite daughter on the street, and it is estimated that his colleagues or bosses will definitely look at him differently from before.
Even if he doesn't say anything, it is estimated that he will not have much hope of improving in the future.
You are only the deputy commander of a provincial military region now, and the son you raised is turning the sky upside down, even the great-granddaughter of Old Man Xu's most beloved dares to molest on the street, if you go up again, whose daughter in the whole country can still be kept.
Maybe it's a bit of a fuss to say this, but one thing cannot be denied, Old Man Xu did not directly target Commander Yue, and it is one thing to do what a certain commander should do, whether Old Man Xu remembers this matter in his heart, and whether he has a dislike for a certain deputy commander is another matter.
As long as I don't know what the old man thinks in his heart, I'm afraid that the future of Deputy Commander Yue will definitely be as difficult to smooth as a broken road.
This matter was just an episode for Zhou Mingluo, and he didn't care too much, but he just heard what was reported later, and continued to quietly accompany the Empress Ying to drink tea, almost half an hour later, the negotiations over there seemed to have reached an impasse, and the Empress seemed to have drunk a lot of tea, so she got up with a smile and rushed to Xiao Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, it's almost early, my body is not as young as you, let them talk about this matter in the future." ”
"Hehe, okay, then I won't bother." Zhou Mingluo also smiled, he didn't have much time to listen to each other's quarrels.
