Chapter 1098
After leaving the gate of the castle, Sims carefully observed Chu Yunfeng all the way, and Chu Yunfeng's performance really made him feel incredible.

Because he always had a calm expression on his face, not only disdainful, but also looking like he was watching the fun.

Could it be that?
The old butler's trump card was actually of no use. In the end, he had no choice but to ask Chu Yunfeng for help. This result would probably be unacceptable to the Duke.

hiss~!

Sims took a breath, and instantly had a hunch that this was very likely to happen.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Chu Yunfeng's words before leaving, which meant that the market was bullish and the price would not be the same next time.

My previous thoughts were a bit similar to those of the old butler, thinking that Chu Yunfeng was just self-righteous, but after experiencing his entire "cooking" process this time, I no longer dared to underestimate him.

"Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry. There must be some misunderstanding here!"

Sims first expressed an apology. After all, there was no quarrel between him and Chu Yunfeng, and he could not let himself miss an opportunity to make friends because of the old housekeeper.

Faced with Sims' calmness, Chu Yunfeng smiled and stretched out his hand: "It's okay, Mr. Sims, I believe we will meet again soon!"

Under Sims' surprised gaze, after shaking hands, Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing got into the car and drove away, leaving Sims alone in a daze.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway, just wait for them to fight!

After the old housekeeper in the hall got angry, it took him a long time to calm down. He thought about how long it had been since anyone had spoken to him in such a tough and teasing tone.

next time?

I really dare to think about it, will there be a next time?

If you want to blackmail, don't look at this place! ! !
After heaving a sigh of relief, the old butler immediately went back to report to the Duke. After hearing Chu Yunfeng's attitude, the Duke became even more angry.

"Asshole, this guy is too arrogant. He really doesn't know what the sky is and how high the sky is. Don't contact him again and let him keep it to himself.

The Chinese side should speed up the progress a little and buy things back for me at all costs. Remember, it is at all costs.

I still don’t believe it. Is it possible that someone would refuse to sell after spending a huge amount of money? "

The old butler also meant the same thing. Seeing that the Duke shared the same hatred as himself, he felt much better and quickly replied: "Don't worry, they have passed.

This time I also sent a professional negotiator there, who will definitely get what you want. There should be news around early in the morning. "

The Duke was also very satisfied with the arrangement of the old butler. He rubbed his withered belly and said depressedly: "I still know the market in China. As long as you have money, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Unlike Europe, where there are many old antiques, they are simply stubborn and do not accept money. This has caused my antique acquisition plan to fail many times.

Tell them that they are bound to win this time, and they must use money to win it for me! "

Seeing Lord Duke's distressed appearance, the old housekeeper also felt ruthless, and he emphasized a little: "Don't worry, just wait for my good news!"

After exiting the Duke's room, the moment he closed the door softly, he heard the Duke groaning, which made the old housekeeper very worried and uncomfortable.

It seemed that the situation was getting worse. I couldn't eat anything that night, and I even lost my appetite for porridge.

The Duke must have endured it very hard just now. He just called out after he left. This time he must succeed!

Then the old housekeeper immediately called the person in charge of China and gave his instructions again, and then anxiously waited for the other party's reply.

After Chu Yunfeng's car came off Panshan Road, Ma Fu asked, "Boss, should we go back the same way we came or go back to the city?"

Without thinking, Chu Yunfeng immediately said: "Go back to the city directly, we have already shown our cards, and we don't need to hide our whereabouts.

By the way, help me get the suitcase back tomorrow morning, and then we'll wait for them to come to invite us, and then we'll go to the treasure room to open our eyes together. "

Oye~!

Ma Fu became excited immediately. He saw that the old housekeeper was very unhappy just now. If he hadn't been afraid of affecting Chu Yunfeng's plan, he would have fought against him.

But I was still a little puzzled, so Ma Fu chased after him and asked, "Boss, are you sure they will come to invite you in person?

It looked like the old guy was very confident just now. Did they find another way? "

Just after they finished asking, they immediately saw Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing smiling. At this time, Chu Yunfeng told old housekeeper Ma Fu what they relied on.

"What? Isn't this too ridiculous?
aha!I want to take a closer look, they will look dumbfounded when the time comes!
hey-hey!Boss, isn't your move to cut down the salary from the bottom too harsh?When the time comes, they won’t be able to accept their fate! "

Humming a little tune, Ma Fu was happily looking forward to meeting again. As for the treasure room, Ma Fu frowned again and immediately reminded: "Boss, have you forgotten something?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Didn't Orlando say before that there are two treasure rooms?"

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that?"

"Then aren't you afraid that the old man will take you to that small one? And it's possible that all the collections there are fake?"

"There's no need to be afraid. The other party will definitely do it, and maybe something will happen."

"Eh~? Then why are you so calm? There's nothing good in that small collection room!"

"What are you afraid of? Step by step, he will allow me to go to that magnificent collection room. Just wait and see!"

Ma Fu really wanted to ask Chu Yunfeng if he had any other plans, but seeing that Chu Yunfeng was unwilling to speak, he stopped asking. He would know when the time comes.

At ten o'clock in the evening London time and three o'clock in the afternoon in China time, the old butler received the news that the negotiation team had contacted the target, and the next thing was to wait.

The Duke should be sleeping at this time, right?

I believe that within an hour, the results will be available soon. If you fall asleep, I will report to him early tomorrow morning.

Time passed bit by bit, half an hour passed
After waiting for an hour, there was still no news coming back, which made the old housekeeper feel a little bad. Could there be some accident?
An hour and a half passed, and the old housekeeper couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and paced back and forth, thinking about whether he should call and ask.

But after thinking about it, I decided to wait a little longer and not put too much pressure on them. After all, there are negotiators here, so there should be no problem.

This is a good thing that has been around for hundreds of years. Anyone who has the goods will definitely be reluctant to sell it. The longer it takes, the more obvious the sawing will be. Experts should still be working hard.

The waiting time was excruciating. The old housekeeper refilled two cups of coffee for himself, without adding any sugar at all, hoping to use the bitter taste to lift his spirits.

"Ding"

The midnight clock rang, and it was already twelve o'clock in the morning. The old housekeeper really couldn't sit still, but he didn't sit still much.

At this moment, there is still no news feedback, this call can't be done, it rang several times before it was connected, the old housekeeper immediately asked: "How is the situation, what is the attitude of the other party?"

The person in charge of China, named Davis, immediately replied with a hint of anxiety: "It's very troublesome. The other party is very persistent. No matter what conditions we offer, he will not be moved."

what?
The old housekeeper's heart skipped a beat, feeling that things seemed to have exceeded expectations. When did negotiations with China become so difficult?

After pondering for a while, the old housekeeper continued to ask: "How is the price? Does the other party have any other requirements?"

"It's not a matter of requirements. The other party didn't negotiate terms with us at all. We even raised the price to three times the premium, but he didn't seem to react at all.

But we are still working hard. After all, the other party is still fighting with us and has no intention of refusing to negotiate. We will see if he will accept the five times the price later! "

Davis feels there is still hope. After all, he has talked to the other party and has not kicked them out yet, which means he still has the intention. The key depends on whether the bargaining chip is enough.

The old butler felt inexplicably irritated, so he immediately gave an order: "That's fine, pay attention to controlling the rhythm, if five times the price is not enough, see if he will accept the ten times the price?
In short, you must bring the things back to me at all costs, do you hear me clearly? "

The last sentence was quite harsh, which made Davis shudder. He knew that this matter could not be taken carelessly, so he quickly agreed.

However, the old housekeeper was still uneasy and continued to ask: "Didn't I say there is another channel?

If it doesn't work here, please contact the other side first and hurry up. The Duke is still waiting. "

After hanging up the phone dejectedly, the old butler suddenly felt sleepy. He drank the coffee on the table in one gulp. When he was about to get a refill, he didn't expect the Duke to come over.

"You haven't slept yet?"

He quickly helped the Duke to the chair, and when he was about to say something, he saw him waving his hand: "Needless to say, I've heard it all, and things seem to be more troublesome!"

"Don't worry, I"

Before the old butler could finish speaking, the Duke waved his hand and said: "No more, just wait patiently for the news, but we still need to make some plans. Come with me to the collection room to have a look!"

Hmm~?

The old housekeeper noticed that the Duke was holding a key, and immediately felt that something was unusual. Was he preparing for a backup plan?
These keys are not the keys to enter the door, but the keys to some key collections. Without these keys, even if you enter the collection room, these top collections cannot be taken away.

Because these are the keys to eliminate the alarm, if the anti-theft door is not opened through this key, the alarm will sound immediately.

The security in this collection room has several anti-theft procedures, which can be said to be stricter than a bank's vault. However, the question arises, what does the Duke want?

The old butler who didn't know what was going on followed the Duke around. Under his instructions, he opened the largest collection room and took out something.

This thing was touched over and over in the Duke's hands, and he simply couldn't put it down, but the old housekeeper was still a little worried.

Although the value of this item is still much lower than those top-level collections, wouldn't it lower your own stature and let other people's schemes succeed?
If Chu Yunfeng were here, he would definitely find that the Duke is holding a copper furnace. It looks purple-red at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that it actually has several colors.

This should be the real Xuande stove. Authentic products are hard to find. Maybe this is the only authentic one.

"Sir, do you plan to use this in exchange?"

The old butler knew the Duke's temper, so how could he compromise so easily?But the current situation looks weird?
However, what surprised the old butler was that the Duke actually snorted coldly: "Huh, if you want to miss my things, just dream!
If the negotiation with China is really impossible, then let him see my methods. I'm afraid that he will steal the chicken but lose the rice. Let's wait and see!

I think he is very determined to get this thing, so let’s give it a try! "

Hmm~?

The old butler seemed to understand a little of what the Duke meant, and then under his instructions, he walked back and forth between the two collection rooms.

After finishing this matter, the two people took the Xuande furnace and exited the long and narrow passage.

The moment the door closed, both of them laughed unkindly.
After the Duke finished this matter, he went to bed. The old housekeeper seemed to be relieved and no longer asked about the progress in China.

At about two o'clock in the morning, the old housekeeper was suddenly awakened by Davis's phone call.

After listening to the report, the old housekeeper remained silent for a while, and finally said: "I understand, let's give up here for now, and get in touch with the other side immediately. We must try our best to talk today."

Davis thought he would be scolded, but after all, he even negotiated a tenfold premium and thought the other party was crazy.

The other party didn't agree to the price of tens of millions. Isn't this crazy?
Unexpectedly, the old butler was so easy to talk to, so Davis patted his chest vigorously and promised to contact the other party as soon as possible, and he would definitely win this time.

After hanging up the phone, the old butler felt a little tired. After all, he was old and was annoyed by poor sleep.

However, the drowsiness was almost washed away by this news. For such a high premium, the other party's attitude is still so firm, so there must be something wrong.

The most important thing is that the other party did not put forward any other additional conditions, which is very unusual. They will not sell it if they say it will not be sold, and they are not willing to reveal the goods at all.

Even if you open a small opening and sell it for ten or twenty grams!

No, not even one gram, this attitude is a bit too firm!

So the old housekeeper suddenly thought of Chu Yunfeng, especially the calm and leisurely look he had before leaving in the castle hall. Is it possible that he was planning the plan together with these two people?

and many more!

This should be impossible!

We have already inquired about the backgrounds of these two people. They should have nothing to do with Chu Yunfeng, and they do not have any close relationship.

It's impossible for them to refuse the deal for Chu Yunfeng, so is this just an accident?
It was already late at night in China, and Davis and the others had to take a late flight to another city, so the negotiations had to start tomorrow morning.

Well, even if we have to wait for the latest news, it will be in the afternoon, but the Duke is always hungry, how can he bear it?
