Inside, Mrs. Johnny warmly sat down, served coffee, and poured wine for everyone. After sitting for a while, Jonny said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, but the cultural relics in my house have not been sorted out at all, and for as long as I can remember, they have been piled up there casually. ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "It's okay, there are 6 of us, packing while sorting, you are responsible for registering the quantity, the price is based on the value of the cultural relics, we have negotiated." ”

Jonny said, "How about we go for the easiest way? ”

"What kind of easy solution?"

"My family's artifacts are much larger than Mr. Ike's, and if they are not destroyed, it will be $550 million for Mr. Ike's family. If there is any damage, we will reduce it appropriately, what do you think? ”

Wuyang smiled: "Mr. Jonny, there is no such trade in cultural relics, right?" We should still take a look at the artifacts first, otherwise we can't agree. ”

"Mr. Li, don't worry, our family's ancestors are all high-ranking officers in the army, and the cultural relics they get should be regarded as the best. Mr. Lai, I can only say sorry for the behavior of my ancestors. The reality now, which you can't see if you want to see, is that it's piled up in the basement and in the room. ”

Wuyang said: "This really makes me very embarrassed, let's discuss it." ”

Invite Mengyu and Daxia outside, "What do you think?" ”

Daxia said: "Anyway, he said that the destroyed ones can be reduced, so he agreed." ”

Wuyang smiled: "Hero, it's not to spend your money, you don't feel distressed." ”

Xie Daxia smiled and said, "Okay." I'll pay for it. ”

"No, I can't. These are likely to be national treasures. You know its value, but your wife doesn't know it, and it's troublesome if they are sold. ”

Mengyu said: "Johnny's ancestors and himself must not value these cultural relics, otherwise they would not have gone to sort them out. Jonny is a hippie by background, and maybe his personality is Madaha, maybe it's a good opportunity for you to pick up the slack. If it's really badly damaged, we don't pack it. Just let him collect less. ”

"Okay, you both agree, so let's do it. Hero, tell your person, you must check the quality of the cultural relics, the damaged don't pack, the packing must be according to the specifications of the box. ”

"No problem, these people are all executives of the company, and they are very high-quality."

Behind is a two-story building, very old. The style is very simple, it is 6 rooms lined up. The door was made of wood, and the padlock on the door had long since lost its key, so Jonny gave a pair of pliers to Wuyang and asked him to open the door buckle and break the door.

Wuyang went up to the second floor, opened a door, and the books inside fell down with a bang. Wuyang picked it up and saw that the paper had become very yellow, but the handwriting on it was still very clear, it was the "Siku Quanshu". didn't say much, let Xie Daxia's people go to the container to get the packing box and start packing.

Open the 6 doors on the second floor, 3 rooms are filled with books, and the other 3 rooms are full of yellowed canvas bags. The afternoon sun runs the true qi, through the rich purple qi, see the things inside, one room is calligraphy and painting, two rooms are carvings, there are wood carvings, jade carvings, bronze carvings, stone carvings, and ivory carvings that Ike does not have at home. The size of the carved pieces varies, from a large canvas bag that can hold only one piece, and a small one that holds 2 or 30 pieces. The canvas bag is yellow, try to lift it, it's not crispy yet, you can use it.

Xie Daxia 4 people were divided into two groups to load books, Wuyang said: "Daxia, don't move the things in those canvas bags first, I'll go to see the situation on the first floor and the basement, if there are many objects, just use the canvas bag." ”

Xie Daxia said: "If the packing box can't be loaded, the container can't be loaded, so the container must be transferred over." ”

"I went to see the downstairs and said it, I really can't fit it, you can arrange it again."

"Okay, there you go. Wuyang, if the things are not damaged, you have picked up a big leak, and you have to give a bonus to the brothers. ”

"Okay, $100,000 each."

"You're too stingy, aren't you worth the value of a cultural relic?"

"The cultural relics are not bought by you, but you are just making a contribution, and the company's affairs should have been contributed."

"Okay, that's all. I don't want the 100,000, and when I get to Las Vegas, you give me 1 million chips. ”

"Okay, I'll give you 10 million Peruvian dollars."

Afternoon Sun came downstairs, pried open the door, and saw a room full of black wood, of different sizes and shapes. Some are in one section, some are in one piece, and half a piece is as thick as an arm, accounting for the majority. Reaching out and picking up a piece, the true qi entered the wood, and immediately a strong sandalwood fragrance came out. This room is 20 square meters in size, the height of the ceiling is about 3 meters, such a full room of sandalwood, the value is high and secondary, mainly because it can't be bought, especially some of the big ones, it is very good to do carvings.

Jonny's ancestors may have a soft spot for wood, and the six rooms on the first floor are all wood, in addition to the sandalwood in the two rooms, there are also various wood furniture and large carvings, which may have snatched back the dragon chairs in the Old Summer Palace.

Going down to the basement, the water level inside is so high that only 5 stairs are not submerged. Running the true qi, I saw that the basement was full of bronze, iron, and ceramics. The iron here is real iron, I don't know how long it has been flooded, but it has not rusted.

"Mr. Johnny, the basement is full of water, and it must be drained before we can get it."

"Yes, my grandfather once told my father that the waterproofing of the basement was not done well and that it could not withstand the penetrating power of the roots and had to be redone," said Jonny. That's what my father told me, and I didn't get it. Mr. Lai, we just told Ms. Zhang that their bank house is very old, and she should buy it. The price is not expensive, only 50 million dollars. With a little repair, it's a very nice villa. ”

Wuyang asked, "Ms. Zhang, what is your opinion?" ”

Mengyu said: "The location here is good, the land area is 3,000 square meters, if the old house is demolished, you can build a very beautiful villa." But there are two things I don't want to buy, one is that the house is too old. This new building in front. It's been 50 years. The latter is more than a hundred years, and what I spent money to buy was just a piece of land; Another point, the plane noise here is too noisy, a few minutes a flight takes off and lands, and you don't have to sleep at all when you live here. ”

Wuyang said, "Mr. Johnny, you can lower the price." 20 million, I bought it and gave it to a friend. ”

"It's close to the airport," Jonny said. It's a fact that it's noisy, but we've been talking to the airlines for a long time and should have a response in the near future. If the airline buys it here, the land and houses will definitely be worth 200 million. ”

Mrs. Johnny said, "Johnny, don't be in a hurry to refuse, let's go buy a water pump and discuss it again." ”

Wuyang said: "Madam, please buy a pump with more power, and I will pay for the goods." ”

"Mr. Lai, this is our business. You don't have to. ”

After the two left, Ike said, "Mr. Lai." You're very thoughtful. ”

"It's a habit that I develop at work. ”

Ike asked, "Mr. Li, is your governor professional?" ”

"Yes. Our officials are all promoted from the grassroots level, and they are selected and appointed in accordance with the Civil Servants Law, and the appointing body is the people's congress, which is equivalent to your parliaments at all levels. ”

"How did I hear before that your officials are all appointed by higher-level officials, and they can't reflect the will of the voters at all."

Wuyang smiled and said, "You are misunderstanding. In China's feudal society, officials are appointed by royal institutions, but in order to govern the country well, the emperor also appoints people who are capable and able to govern a place well. At the beginning of its founding, our party was also designated as a leader by the Comintern, but it was soon replaced by a leader who emerged in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle, leading the people to victory in the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle. In those days, the leaders of our armed forces basically came to power on their own. ”

Mrs. Ike said, "We don't know much about each other, Mr. Li can give an example, okay?" ”

"For example, in our struggle against Japanese fascism, many soldiers went to open up anti-Japanese base areas by themselves, and later because of their outstanding talents, they developed into a very effective force, and only then did they have the family background to compete with hostile forces for the world."

Ike said, "Don't your countrymen say that if you have strength, you want to be king?" ”

"Yes, a lot of warlords are like that. But this is not the case with our party comrades, because we share common ideals and convictions and do not regard the army as our own personal private property. Of course, at that time, all the comrades of our party did not have private property. ”

Ike said: "You also talk about democracy, but I think that only the United States takes turns in power, and major matters are passed by Congress, is truly democracy." ”

"Mr. Ike, our country has its own national conditions, our feudal society has lasted for two thousand years, although the democratic revolution overthrew feudal rule, but there are still some remnants of feudal ideas in people's minds. As you said, there are still people who want to be kings if they have strength, and if there is no strong political party to lead, there will definitely be wolf smoke everywhere and the country will be torn apart. At present, the times are developing, the idea of democracy is constantly taking root in the hearts of the people, and the democratic process in our country is also constantly increasing. It's been more than 200 years since the founding of the United States, and some laws are also being revised? If we look at democracy in the United States, IMHO, it is actually money politics, democracy for the rich. With money, he may win the election, and when he comes to power, he will speak for the rich people who have funded him, and when he enacts and amends laws, he will naturally favor that part of the people. If you think my words are wrong, think about how many American presidents you know have won the support of voters by outstanding feats like your grandfather? ”

Wuyang's words touched Ike, praised old Ike, and tickled his itch, "Mr. Li, what you said makes sense, but these can't convince me and my friends. In the years since we left, the democratic process in your country has indeed accelerated a lot, but we don't know the specifics. In addition, many major events in your country are not transparent, and we want to understand that they are often through foreign media, and many foreign media do not say that they have ulterior motives, but they must add their positions and views, so that it is easy for people to misunderstand. Your country criticizes our politicians for applying double standards in areas such as democracy, counter-terrorism, etc., but they are not aware of the situation. For example, on the issue of counter-terrorism, you always emphasize that the thugs are trying to divide the country, some of the atrocities against them, and their links to al-Qaeda. Always vague. This is precisely what the politicians have taken advantage of. It gives them the opportunity to mislead the people, sensationalize the public, and gain political capital. ”

Wuyang said: "I can accept some of what you said, and I will report to my superiors after returning to China." Mr. Ike, our two countries are big countries between the East and the West, and I think we should make more friends and do more trade. Your country is always stirring up trouble in the vicinity of our country. In fact, it is a matter of more than worth the loss. You are sure that you know very well, how big is their market, and how big is the market in our country? If your actions are resentful to our government and people, a lot of trade will be replaced by other countries, such as the European Union. ”

"Yes, your country is indeed a huge market, and we have a consensus on that. Mr. Lai, regardless of the situation at the national level, we can make a difference in trade. I told Ms. Zhang that I have some rice on my farm. Hope to close a deal with you. ”

"Yes, Mr. Ike. As long as the price is right, I'd love it. What price do you think you can sell to me? ”

Ike said: "Mr. Lai, in order to show my sincerity, I have decided to give you $350 per tonne, what do you think?" ”

"Your price must be high. However, your paddy has just been planted, and we have time to talk about it. ”

Ike said: "Mr. Li, there are still some high-quality rice from last year in my barn, which can be eaten normally, and now it is negotiated and can be delivered immediately. You think the price is too high, give it an acceptable price. ”

Wuyang thought for a while, and now the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB is 1 to 6.5, at 350 US dollars per ton, equivalent to 2275 yuan, plus 200 yuan per ton freight, which is similar to buying in China. But Mr. Ike is the first here, and if he doesn't desperately lower the price, he will have to pay a lot more. "Mr. Ike, for $280, I'll buy all your paddy. Of course, it must be rice that has passed the inspection and quarantine. ”

"Yes, our trade has just started, and I hope we can continue to work together for a long time. So, $320, okay? ”

"Mr. Ike, I'll add a little more, $290."

"Let's go one step at a time, minus the packaging, and it's okay for $300."

"Okay, we'll make a deal. Mr. Ike, how much rice did you have from last year? ”

"Last year's had more than 70,000 tons. Mr. Li, I still have more than 30,000 tons of rice in my barn, and you want it too. ”

"No, the year before last is no longer edible, you can't want it."

"Mr. Li, my rice is well kept and has definitely not deteriorated. Of course, the taste must be worse, and your people are no longer just looking for food, and you can only buy it back as feed. Well, let's get it at $150 a tonne. ”

Wuyang said: "Will you lose money?" ”

"No, it won't. We grow grain, the state has subsidies, and we export grain, and there are still subsidies. ”

Zhang Mengyu smiled and said, "Mr. Ike, since you won't lose money, just give Mr. Li some benefits." ”

Ike laughed, "You're taking me into the hub." ”

Mengyu said: "Mr. Ike, Mr. Li will be a big buyer second only to the country, if you establish contact with him, don't worry about the rice not being sold, so that the rice will expire for the last time." Moreover, you can also buy a large amount of rice and sell it to Mr. Li to earn the difference in price and subsidies. ”

"Mr. Li, how much rice do you estimate you need each year?"

"My family's company, which eats and produces feed, needs to buy about 30 million tons from abroad every year, because Vietnam is a neighboring country, I have to buy 10 million tons there, and the rest can be purchased in your country," Wuyang said. Of the food I need, rice is only one-third, and I'm going to Kentucky, and I'm going to give you a share of 1 million tons at most. ”

"That's the number this year?"

"Yes, starting this year."

"Can you buy more feed this year?"

Wu Yang smiled: "Mr. Ike wants to run this business? ”

"Yes."

"Well, if the price is right, buy some. Ike can buy as much as I can, I'll take it, okay? ”

"Okay, I'll tell you the exact amount after I understand the situation, and hopefully I can earn the money I spend in Las Vegas."

"Mr. Ike likes to go to Las Vegas?"

"Yes, I always go there a few times a year. I'm different from Jonny, he goes every month. Mr. Lai, do you also have this hobby? ”

"Gambling thing. Hobbies are human nature. But our laws and disciplines. Gambling is not allowed. My friend Mr. Xie, the one who cleaned up the artifacts in the back, went to Las Vegas every year to deliver money. ”

Ike smiled and said, "We also go to deliver money every year." Mr. Li, it's rare for you to come here, are we going to have fun? ”

"Mr. Xie said that he would take me to see it, which is a world-famous gambling city. It's a pity not to take a look here. ”

"Okay, I'll date a few rich people. Take a gamble with you, the rich man of the East. ”

"Mr. Ike, I can't compare wealth with you, don't ask someone for an appointment."

"What kind of rich man am I? When you get there, you bet with them that I can only play soy sauce. Do you say so? ”

"Mr. Ike, you know us well."

"That's all I have to offer, I care about you very much, and I've always wanted to trade with your country, and today I got my wish. Mr. Lai, these expired paddies. How about $120 per tonne? ”

"Okay, CIF price."

Ike smiled and said, "Mr. Li." You should trade professionally. ”

"Thank you. Let's initialize the contract. ”

Ike said, "Okay. Your work here will certainly not be completed today, so let's go over tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Okay, Mr. Xie has a private jet, let's go over together."

"Jonny and I both have planes, just make an appointment."

Mr. and Mrs. Johnny bought two submersible pumps, and Wuyang assisted them in installing the water pipes, connecting the power supply, and starting to pump water. Jonny said, "Mr. Lai, two pumps, very fast." ”

Wuyang asked, "How big is this basement?" ”

Jonny shook his head, "We don't know, the door has never been opened. Mr. Lai, we discussed, if you think our family's cultural relics are worth $550 million, please pay me $560 million, and the other $10 million as the cost of your house. Originally, the house could be given to you, but if it was given, it had to be approved by the Federal Tax Service and the gift tax was paid before the formalities could be completed. The procedure is complicated, and it is much simpler for us to deal with it this way. ”

Wuyang said: "This can't be done, you guys are almost giving it away for nothing." ”

Mrs. Johnny said, "Mr. Lai, it doesn't matter. We discussed, the total price of the cultural relics is 550 million US dollars, and the cultural relics in this basement have been soaked in water for a long time, and they must be damaged. ”

"Okay, I'll pay you for the goods now, and then ask Ms. Zhang to go through the formalities with you."

"That's the best, transfer 550 million to us first, and then let Ms. Zhang give 10 million. Mr. Li, after payment, this is yours, we and Mr. Ike will go to live somewhere else, and come and drive the van tomorrow. ”

After completing the transfer, the two families and Mengyu drove away. Wuyang went to replace Xie Daxia and asked him to arrange 4 container trucks to come over. Xie Daxia said: "There is no problem with container trucks, but there is no such packing box." ”

"No, it doesn't matter, the first floor is full of wood and furniture, just buy blankets, towels and rope."

After loading the books, several people began to move the boxes and load them into the containers. After moving all the canvas bags on the second floor downstairs, after a short rest, Wuyang took people to the basement to load ceramics. There are only so many boxes, and the ceramics are easy to break, so they can only be stored in boxes.

After two submersible pumps pumped the water, the water level in the basement was much lower, but it was still 7 or 80 centimeters deep. Wuyang took off his shoes and socks, stood in the water and handed the ceramics to them. Xie Daxia's people were about to go into the water, but they were stopped by Wuyang. This water is stagnant water, I don't know how long it has been stored in the basement, in case the water is poisonous, it's not for fun.

Wuyang fished in the water, and the three of them packed and carried it, and the distribution was reasonable. After all the ceramics were moved, the water in the basement was only a dozen centimeters deep, and the submersible pump could not pump it. Wuyang asked people to find a shovel and wanted to dig a hole in the floor, but they couldn't dig in, so they had to give up.

When the container mobilized by Xie Daxia arrived, Wuyang arranged to move the bronze and iron first, because these things are dense and placed at the bottom of the container, and the center of gravity is low.

There was a lot of strength in the crowd, and the bronze and iron tools were quickly packed and packed into containers. Wuyang scanned the basement with true qi, and found that the purple qi inside was still very rich, emanating from the walls and ground, and after a closer look, it turned out that the walls and the ground were paved with gold bricks. This kind of gold brick is not like the kind of gold brick in the treasury, it is shaped, but it is like the brick used to build a house, rectangular, more than 20 centimeters long, more than 10 centimeters wide, and 7 or 8 centimeters thick. Wuyang pried off a piece from the wall and weighed it, which should be 20 thousand grams.

"Hero, you all go find shovels or sharp objects, and pry gold nuggets together."

The hero said, "Is there really a gold nugget? (To be continued......)
