Chapter 116: Astrologer
"Mr. Bloom, do you want to be the most famous astrologer in New York? Now is a good opportunity, soon an Indian named Shakru Sinh will come to you to help him divinate the treasure of their Sinkh family, in fact, this so-called treasure is under the woods in the north of Unao County, Uttar Pradesh, India, although this treasure does not contain gold or silver jewelry, but it is also archaeologically a treasure, so as long as you master the rhetoric, you can become the most famous astrologer in all of New York!
Of course, I'm telling you all this for a purpose, and that is to do your best to attack Tony Monet, I'm sure you know him as an astrologer, and he said that the treasure of Sinh doesn't exist, and I think you know what to do!
Finally, I wish us a happy first cooperation and look forward to the next cooperation! ”
Looking at this letter signed "Professor Moriarty", astrologer Dika Bloom couldn't help but fall into deep thought, as an astrologer, although not famous, he had heard of the name of "treasure hunter" Tony Monet, since he said that this so-called "Singh Treasure" did not exist, could this "Professor Moriarty" be true? But if it's fake, then he doesn't seem to have to lie to himself, so it's not good for him?
While Bloom was thinking hard, suddenly the doorbell rang, and when he opened the door, he saw a man asking him, "Hello, are you Mr. Bloom, the astrologer?" ”
Bloom nodded and replied, "That's right, I am, please ask you is!" ”
"Oh, my name is Shakru Sinkh, I'm from India, and I'd like to ask for your help with one thing......"
When he heard the name "Shakru Sinkh", Bloom's head "boomed", so that he could not hear what Shakru said next, because it was obvious that the letter that "Professor Moriarty" had given him was true, and now the Indian had come to the door.
Seeing Bloom's appearance, Shakru hurriedly asked, "Mr. Bloom, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ah, no, nothing, uh, Mr. Sinhye, what are you looking for me?" Bloom asked casually.
"Well, that's right, our Hinh family once had a treasure......" Shakru then repeated everything he had said to Monet before.
Bloom pretended to do the math, and then replied, "I can help you find this treasure of yours, but if you want me to help you, you have to promise me one condition!" ”
"Can you really help me find it?" Shakru asked in disbelief.
Bloom nodded proudly and replied, "Of course! ”
"That's good, that's good, it looks like that Professor Moriarty didn't lie to me!" Shakru muttered to himself, and then remembered the second half of Bloom's words just now: "Mr. Bloom, if you have any request, just say it!" ”
Bloom spread his hands and said, "You can also see that my current reputation is not very big, so I want to use the matter of your Xinhe family treasure to promote it, so I need your cooperation when the time comes!" ”
"There is no problem with this, absolutely no problem, as long as I can find the treasure, you can let me cooperate as much as I want!" Shakru agreed.
"That's good, by the way, what did you just say about Professor Moriarty?" Bloom asked curiously.
Shakru took out a letter from his pocket and replied, "Actually, I didn't know about you, Mr. Bloom, but I received a letter from Professor Moriarty at the hotel last night, saying that if I find you, I will be able to help me find the treasure!" ”
Bloom took it and saw that the letter was exactly the same as the letter he had received, both on the letter and the handwriting on it, and it seemed that this matter was manipulated by this so-called "Professor Moriarty" behind his back, but what good did it do him? Is he just having a grudge against Monsieur Monet?
Seeing Bloom lost in thought, Shakru asked tentatively, "Mr. Bloom, do you know this Professor Moriarty?" ”
"I'm not Sherlock Holmes, how could I possibly know Professor Moriarty?" Bloom replied with a smile, and then asked about the details of his trip to India, to divert the conversation.
Two days later, while Monet was reviewing a sample issue of Reader's Digest, he suddenly received a call from Russell: "Tony, there's an astrologer named Bloom challenging you right now!" ”
"Astrologer Bloom? I don't know this guy! Monet asked puzzled.
"Do you recognize that Indian named Shakru Sinkh?" Russell asked again.
Monet nodded and replied: "I know this, a few days ago he came to me to help him find some treasure of King Singh, but after I calculated it, I felt that this treasure did not exist, so I refused to him!" ”
"But this astrologer Bloom claims that he can find this treasure and is about to leave for India, and I guess tomorrow you will be able to read the news of his challenge to you in several newspapers!" Russell explained.
Monet replied disapprenously: "I guess this is just to make a name for myself through me, anyway, he is not famous, even if he can't find him, there is no loss." ”
Then he frowned and asked, "It's just that I don't understand, have I offended these newspapers?" Why do you want to post this kind of news? ”
Russell waved his hand and said: "I definitely didn't offend, but they didn't have much malice, they just thought that this news was eye-catching enough and could increase sales, so they sent it!" But I've read all the contents, and I'm basically writing them from the perspective of watching this astrologer's joke, and I still have a lot of respect for you! ”
At this time, Monet's mind flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, did they ask you to be a lobbyist for me?" ”
Russell replied a little embarrassed: "Isn't it that I don't want to offend you because of this matter, so please ask me to explain it to you in advance." ”
"Okay, for your sake, that's it, but I'll respond on my Comet, and I can't let a casual guy dare to challenge me!" Monet snorted coldly.
"How do you want to respond?" Russell asked curiously.
"I can't tell you that, after all, my Comet needs some eye-catching news!" Monet replied mysteriously.
