Late at night.

Villa 76 W Block.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

A crisp knock on the door, a little harsh in the silence of the night.

After about five seconds, the door opened a crack.

"Brother Wei, come in."

Niu Jianrong poked his head out, looked around vigilantly, and then hurriedly welcomed the middle-aged man in front of him, with a slightly flattering smile on his face.

"Ah Rong, I'll just say that your brothers have the destiny to make a fortune, and the bronzes of the Spring and Autumn Period can be dug up by you, your luck is really enviable!"

The middle-aged man looked about fifty years old, tall and burly, with a beard, he walked into the villa as if he was strolling into the villa, first looked at the surrounding environment, and then patted Niu Jianrong's shoulder, and said with a smile.

This middle-aged man is none other than Wei Zhengfei, a cultural relics dealer who has been active in the United States for a long time.

"Where's my brother?"

Wei Zhengfei casually pulled out a chair, and he sat directly on it, and at the same time asked in a rather casual tone.

"My brother is in the storage room, packing up."

Niu Jianrong poured Wei Zhengfei a cup of tea, and then he sat opposite Wei Zhengfei, and asked with a little eagerness in his eyes: "Brother Fei, has the buyer been contacted?" ”

"Ah Rong, if the things in your hands are genuine, I can contact you with a buyer in minutes, but before that, do you have to let me see the things first?"

Wei Zhengfei looked at Niu Jianrong with a smile of deep meaning.

"Brother Fei, something must be the real thing, and it is only natural for you to show it."

"But is this thing really easy to shoot? For less than $80 million, we don't sell it! ”

Niu Jianrong said in the end, the whole person looked a little troubled.

"Ah Rong!"

"This is a bronze from the Spring and Autumn Period!"

"A proper national treasure!"

"As long as it's sure it's true, let alone 80 million US dollars, even 100 million US dollars are scrambling for it, this thing doesn't have to worry about selling well!"

Wei Zhengfei's words made Niu Jianrong fall into a huge surprise.

"Brother Fei, the bronze is in the storage room, you are an expert, whether it is true or not, you can see it."

Niu Jianrong stood up from his chair and pointed to the storage room not far away.

When Wei Zhengfei heard this, he immediately stood up slowly: "Then take a look, if it is confirmed that it is genuine, I will contact the buyer directly for you on the spot." ”

"Good, good!"

"Brother Fei, please come here."

Niu Jianrong said, and led Wei Zhengfei to the front of the storage room.

Here, Wei Zhengfei saw Niu Jianrong's elder brother Niu Jianxiong.

"Brother, let me introduce you, this is Brother Fei."

After Niu Jianrong saw Niu Jianxiong, he introduced Wei Zhengfei to the other party as soon as possible.

The Niu brothers have always had a clear division of labor.

Niu Jianxiong is responsible for stealing, and Niu Jianrong is responsible for selling, so although Niu Jianxiong knows Wei Zhengfei, this is the first time he has seen Wei Zhengfei himself.

Niu Jianxiong looked at Wei Zhengfei in front of him, his eyes flashed with vigilance, and his voice was a little dull: "Brother Fei, hello." ”

Wei Zhengfei nodded at Niu Jianxiong, then his gaze swept over, and finally quickly landed on the tripod-shaped bronze vessel located in the northeast corner of the storage room.

Seeing this, Wei Zhengfei's eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't pay any attention to the Niu brothers, took out a pair of white gloves from his coat pocket, and walked straight towards the tripod-shaped bronze.

Seeing this, Niu Jianxiong subconsciously wanted to stop him, but before he could make a move, he was stopped by Niu Jianrong with his hand.

The two brothers exchanged their eyes silently, and in the end, Niu Jianxiong didn't say anything and let Wei Zheng fly away.

As Niu Jianrong said, Wei Zhengfei is indeed an expert, he came to the tripod-shaped bronze, and immediately entered the working state, and at the same time he carried many small instruments with him, and his professionalism far exceeded that of the Niu brothers.

Finally, Wei Zhengfei gently held the two sides of the tripod-shaped bronze with both hands, and then lifted and lowered the entire tripod-shaped bronze with slight force with both arms.

"Phineas, how's it going?"

Niu Jianrong saw that Wei Zhengfei began to take off his gloves, and he immediately stepped forward to ask.

"It is indeed a ding-shaped bronze from the Spring and Autumn Period." Wei Zhengfei sighed with emotion, and then changed his voice: "But have you noticed that the weight of this tripod-shaped bronze is a little wrong." ”

"Hmmm......"

"This tripod-shaped bronze does have a problem with its weight, compared to the same volume of bronze objects, its weight is more than four times that of the same volume of bronze objects."

Faced with Wei Zhengfei's objection, Niu Jianxiong nodded and replied in a deep voice.

"Do you think there's going to be something in there?"

Wei Zhengfei said suddenly.

"There may be something, but the top cover of the bronze has been completely fused with the bronze under the power of time, and if you want to open the top cover, you must destroy the top of the bronze."

"No one knows what is inside the bronzes, it may be gold, silver and jewelry, or it may be rotten silt, if it is at the cost of destroying the bronzes, to explore the contents is undoubtedly a huge gamble."

"The price difference between a complete bronze and a broken bronze is very different, and our brothers can't afford to gamble on this big gamble."

Niu Jianxiong was silent and replied to Wei Zhengfei.

"Indeed."

"That's a gamble."

"We are all ordinary people, and we can't afford to gamble."

Wei Zhengfei nodded thoughtfully, with a little emotion in his words.

"Brother Fei, since you have already identified this tripod-shaped bronze is indeed an item from the Spring and Autumn Period, can we contact the buyer now?"

Niu Jianrong rubbed his hands and asked Wei Zhengfei tentatively.

"No hurry, no hurry."

"Before contacting the buyer, I think it's better for us to explain some things clearly in advance, so as not to hurt the peace afterwards."

Wei Zhengfei waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Phineas!"

"Don't worry, we know the rules!"

"After the matter is completed, we will divide it into twenty-eight, and I promise that we will not let Brother Fei you work in vain!"

When Niu Jianrong heard this, he immediately understood, he came to Wei Zhengfei's side, hugged Wei Zhengfei's shoulders very familiarly, and said with a smile.

"Hmmm......"

"Ah Rong, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"I'm very satisfied with this percentage."

Wei Zhengfei said with a smile.

When Niu Jianrong and Niu Jianxiong heard this, seeing that Wei Zhengfei agreed so happily, they couldn't help but smile a little on their faces, however, Wei Zhengfei's next two sentences made the smiles of the two directly solidify on their faces.

"In that case, then we're done."

"After the matter is completed, I will keep eighty percent, and you will take twenty percent."
