Chapter 222 Is it a windfall or a trap?
On the morning of the third day, Louis came to his repair shop excitedly and somewhat apprehensively.

The door was closed tightly, and there was no movement inside.

He opened the door with his key and found that there was nothing missing inside.

The only thing that changed was that some tools were randomly placed on the ground, and there were oil stains on the ground—but from his expert's perspective, the oil stains were a bit deliberate, not like the traces left by normal car repairs.

A layman is indeed a layman. In fact, they can ask themselves to stay and help as a technical guide. Of course, they only need a small technical guidance fee.

Louis was relieved that there was nothing missing inside.

Of course, it would be even better if the film and television company could stay for a few more days and make more money for themselves.

After turning around and finding that there were no other changes, Louis called to summon his workers—this kind of good thing is gone, and the car needs to be repaired!

Salary is not for nothing to support these people!

Zhu Yu and others returned to the villa, he said to Ran Jie:

"You have a holiday in the afternoon. If you want to go to the goods yard, it's up to you. Come and pick me up tomorrow morning, and there is still a business."

"I like it! If there is business!" Cao Dalong rushed to say.

How good it is to earn more than $1 in a few days!

Cao Dalong is also content.

After Ran Jie and others left, Zhu Yu entered the villa, and Cathy came up to meet him. Zhu Yu said:

"Send a pot of tea to the study, and don't let anyone come and disturb you."

Cathy nodded.

Zhu Yu washed up briefly, changed his clothes and went to the study room. Seeing a pot of tea and a plate of snacks on the desk, he nodded secretly.

He took out a few sheets of paper from his backpack, spread them out on the desk, and read each page carefully.

The first piece of paper lists some numbers, and from top to bottom reads "Mr. XXX yuan, Mr. XXX yuan, Mr. XXX yuan, and Mr. XXX yuan".

Some lines were followed by parentheses, with a remark saying "missing XX blocks".

The second sheet lists the time, location, and number of patrolling personnel.

The third piece of paper has five addresses, and the specific locations are written in small characters after the addresses.

And the three addresses where Zhu Yu found Gold are obviously on the list!
Only one sentence was written on the fourth piece of paper: If we die, then all this will never be known!

Combining the contents of these four pieces of paper, Zhu Yu felt as if he had discovered a major event!
These robbers are probably not just robbers!
There were five addresses written on the note.

If gold can also be found at the other two addresses, it means that what is written on this paper should be true.

And the ones on the first piece of paper, could it be that the gold that these robbers robbed was finally given to someone?

Zhu Yu didn't know much about Laomei's current affairs, and he didn't have any special feelings about these seemingly ordinary Mr. XX.

However, he has now imagined a big drama - about ghosts, embezzlement, killing people with guns and so on.

If those two places are verified to be fine, then maybe this story is true!
But Zhu Yu suddenly reacted, it's none of his business?

It's just a dog eat dog thing.

Thinking of it this way, the idea was clear, Zhu Yu picked up a piece of snack, put it in his mouth and started to eat slowly.

Mmm, it tastes good!

Throw these few pieces of paper into the space, and then take out those gold bars.

After counting, it was almost 100 yuan. 25 kilograms of gold is now worth less than $100 million.

Not much.

Huh?
Zhu Yu suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little drifting recently!
You got more than 100 million US dollars in half a day, but you don't think it's too much?

It seems that with more money and more ambition, I feel that I have more room for improvement.

There was no shortage of money for the time being, so Zhu Yu put the gold back into the space, planning to find time to melt it away.

After all, gold with numbers is not easy to handle.

In a good mood, Zhu Yu went to find Joanna in the afternoon, and the two lived a young love life, which enriched and enriched their material and spiritual life, as well as...the body.

The next day, Zhu Yu, who was still refreshed, sent Joanna, who had a good complexion, to school, and took Ran Jie to see Heine.

The place where Heine met was in a villa, and Zhu Yu was afraid that Heine would act aggressively, so he ordered all three of Ran Jie to bring weapons.

Previously, Heine had always been polite, but David was very aggressive.

But Zhu Yu has always distrusted Heine, thinking that he belongs to the kind of person with a relatively deep city, and he does not rule out using any means to achieve his goal—as long as the finishing is done well, it will not affect his image.

After being reminded by Zhu Yu, the three of Ran Jie felt like they were facing a formidable enemy, and all of them were a little nervous.

Arriving at the villa, Zhu Yu got out of the car, looked around, and found that this was a relatively prosperous area, so she felt a little more at ease.

Ran Jie stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and after a while, someone opened the door, Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and Cao Dalong in, and Qin Fei watched the car.

Heine was greeted at the door by a balding white man in his mid-fifties.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu." Heine stretched out his hand, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Hawkins, he is the owner of those ancient books."

batch?
Zhu Yu suddenly became curious!It can be called a batch, it seems that there are quite a few ancient books!
"Hello, Mr. Hawkins." After Zhu Yu shook hands with Heine, he took the initiative to shake hands with Hawkins.

Hawkins forced a smile, nodded and said:
"Welcome, Mr. Zhu."

Then he turned and walked in.

Heine walked to Zhu Yu's side and explained in a low voice:
"Mr. Hawkins failed in his investment and owed a lot of money. He needs to sell his assets to pay off his debts. Not only those ancient books, but also a lot of assets including this villa."

Zhu Yu immediately understood why Hawkins was unhappy.

Anyone who encounters such a thing will not be happy.

After entering the villa, Zhu Yu found that the villa was well decorated, with a very elegant feel, and even had a bit of oriental characteristics.

"This villa used to belong to a movie star who came from China. Later, she returned to Xiangjiang, and I bought it."

Hawkins saw Zhu Yu looking at the villa, so he explained, with a little expectation on his face.

But Zhu Yu didn't respond, but asked:

"The batch of ancient books..."

"Please follow me." Hawkins was a little disappointed by Zhu Yu's reaction, but then his expression returned to normal, and he led Zhu Yu to the basement.

There is a constant temperature and humidity device here, but Zhu Yu discovered that the constant temperature and humidity device is not used to preserve ancient books, because Hawkins asked someone to open another door.

Although the room inside this door does not belong to the sundry storage like the old man Hans's "Yongle Canon", but the conditions are really average compared with those next to it.

But Zhu Yu was immediately attracted by the contents inside, and completely forgot about the conditions inside.

The room is very large, and there are many shelves inside. On the shelves, there are ancient books that are vacuum-packed!

Zhu Yu even saw some bamboo slips!

But even if he is a layman, he can see that these bamboo slips are poorly preserved. Most of the bamboo slips have been bent and deformed, and some even split into several pieces.

Although they are also in the vacuum packaging bag, the naked eye can see that there are still some debris in the packaging bag, which should be the broken part of the bamboo slips.

Hawkins saw Zhu Yu's expression and explained:
"These things were bought through a middleman. It is said that they were dug out from a stolen tomb. There were some bronze and gold products, but they were bought by others."

Zhu Yu wanted to curse!
Such a thing can be unearthed inside, it is definitely not an ordinary tomb!

Maybe it's the kind that can rewrite history!

As a result, it was sold here!

And Zhu Yu absolutely believed that these things in front of him must have been sold cheaply!
He is his mother!

He resisted the urge to continue reading, walked forward, and then saw some words that he felt very familiar, but he couldn't understand a single word!
I say!

Isn't this frankly written in Xixia?

Isn't it said that Kublai Khan or his elders erased all the writings of this dynasty?

There is still existence here?

Zhu Yu has an absurd feeling of confusing history!
There are two ancient Xixia books, one is very thin, about three to five pages; the other is thicker, with more than ten pages, but it looks terrible.

Then there were some ancient books in Chinese characters. Zhu Yu looked through them one by one, and found that there were letters in Mongolian, and things like military orders.

Looking at it with the eyes of the sky, these things are really real.

There are about 100 copies in total.

From the beginning to the end, Zhu Yu didn't continue watching, and asked Hawkins:

"Mr. Hawkins, are you going to sell them all?"

"Of course." Hawkins asked tentatively while observing Zhu Yu's expression:
"These are very rare ancient books in your country. Do you want to buy them, Mr. Zhu?"

"Of course I hope," Zhu Yu nodded, and when Hawkins was about to laugh, he added, "The premise is that the price is right."

Don't take me for a fool!
Seeing Zhu Yu walk out of the collection room without any nostalgia, Hawkins felt that this was a tough opponent!

He followed Zhu Yu to the living room, beckoning the servant to serve tea.

After the servant left, Hawkins said to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, I need money urgently here, so I don't want to talk too much. My psychological price for selling these ancient books is 500 million US dollars."

"I think Hawkins must have dated someone else, so I'm leaving first." Zhu Yu didn't even say the price, and stood up directly to leave.

This guy really took himself for a fool and slaughtered him!

These things may be considered priceless treasures in China, but now they are in the beautiful country!
Have these people ever really regarded Huaxia's cultural relics as treasures?
The reason why the sky-high price has been speculated is just to cheat the local tyrants of China.

Hawkins didn't expect Zhu Yu to be so straightforward, he regretted that the offer was too high, and hurriedly signaled Heine with a wink.

Heine had a request from Hawkins and was also a middleman, so he had no choice but to persuade Zhu Yu:

"Mr. Zhu, don't worry. Mr. Hawkins has high expectations for these ancient books, but he doesn't understand Chinese culture after all. Holding these things is useless.

If you think you want to have it, quote a suitable price.For transactions, the two parties can change their views and reach an agreement through communication. "

Originally, Zhu Yu was also acting, but after hearing Heine's persuasion, he sat down and took a sip of tea.

Hawkins also felt that his quotation was too high. Although he heard that Zhu Yu rose faster and earned more, he didn't know the exact amount.Right now, I don't know how much I earn, but I am definitely not someone who is easy to cheat.

He adjusted his mood, smiled and said:

"Mr. Zhu, how much do you think these ancient books are worth?"

Zhu Yu put down his teacup and said:

"I checked, you have almost 150 ancient books here. I am not an expert, but I know that some of them are more valuable, and some are not worth much.

For the sake of Mr. Heine, I will give an average price of 150 US dollars for a copy, a total of [-] million US dollars..."

As a businessman, Hawkins has actually made money.

He bought these things, and the total price did not exceed 50 US dollars.

But also as a businessman, his belief is to squeeze the value of the commodity to the maximum!
So he immediately shook his head:

"No, no, this price is far from matching its value."

"Well, then, I am sure Mr. Hawkins will be able to find a matching bid."

Zhu Yu stood up again, this time he really planned to leave.

"Mr. Zhu, I hope you think about it, I think 500 million dollars is more appropriate..."

Zhu Yu shook his head, nodded to Heine, and left with Ran Jie.

Hawkins hurried to catch up, and kept lowering the price in his mouth:
"Mr. Zhu, 400 million dollars...no, 300 million...200 million dollars is also fine!"

Zhu Yu waved his hand, left the villa, got into the car and left.

Heine walked up to Hawkins and said to him:

"This Zhu Yu is a very firm person. He has determined the price, and it may be difficult to change it."

Hawkins was a little unconvinced, he thought for a while and said:

"In the afternoon, I will invite two other Chinese people to read these ancient books. I believe they will give a suitable price."

Heine nodded, but she didn't think so in her heart.

He also knew that those two people were businessmen, but in terms of transactions, they might not be more generous than Zhu Yu.

He recognized Zhu Yu more, mainly because he felt that Zhu Yu's money came quickly and he paid it happily.

Those two people may offer a high price, but it will never be so happy to pay.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Hawkins called Heine with a disappointed tone:
"Those two Hua people wanted these ancient books very much, but the price they offered was less than half of Mr. Zhu's! What a stingy businessman!"

Heine thought it was true.

Zhu Yu was not surprised to receive another call from Heine.

He felt that the price he quoted was considered a premium in the old American market.

If Hawkins is not satisfied with this price, he can only get bored in his own hands.

The next day, Zhu Yu brought Ran Jie to Hawkins' home again. This time, Hawkins smiled sincerely and carefully.

He was afraid that Zhu Yu would suddenly lower the price - after all, the negotiation almost collapsed yesterday.

However, Zhu Yu was kinder than he had imagined, and he didn't lower the price. After the two parties reached an agreement, Zhu Yu paid 150 million US dollars to buy these ancient books, and after reading and confirming, Zhu Yu asked someone to move them out on the spot, so Zhu Yu was relieved.

It was not a conspiracy.

However, after he supervised the people he called to remove these ancient books, he did not leave immediately, but asked Hawkins:

"Mr. Hawkins, is your villa for sale?"

Hawkins' smile immediately became wider!
