Chapter 1129 My heart is almost broken!
During the time that the old butler was verifying, the Duke said nothing, and Chu Yunfeng didn't say anything either. Everyone drank tea slowly in tacit understanding.

At this time, Mu Qing and the three teachers realized that Chu Yunfeng's wit had the upper hand this time, but luck was also the most important thing.

According to what he said, if it hadn't been for the accidental kick, he might not have been able to discover the mystery of this box. And this box was also arranged by fate and fell into his hands after hundreds of years.

I have to say that this luck is so good that it's hard to believe.

Three minutes passed. The old butler played the video on his phone back and forth, as if for further confirmation. After watching it five times, he took a deep breath, raised his head and nodded to the Duke.

So he handed the phone to the Duke and clicked play. The Duke also clearly saw on the video that Chu Yunfeng's right foot indeed kicked the box.

And everything that appeared was so natural, it was indeed because I accidentally sprained myself that I kicked it up!
Chu Yunfeng's heart has always been at peace. This has been in his plan for a long time, especially after the system prompted him, he has already thought about how to explain it!

No good reason is unconvincing, let alone such a huge windfall. If people suspect that they have special abilities, things will become quite complicated.

But after seeing Duke Dalton close his eyes and sigh helplessly, Chu Yunfeng knew that this matter should be finalized. This was his luck, and the other party had no solution!
"Well, Mr. Chu, I really admire your luck. Now that it's like this, I think we should have a good talk about how to deal with this batch of things.

So, do you want to collect it yourself or sell it? If you want to sell it, I am very willing to take over this batch of things. After all, they flowed out from me.

You can make a price and I think I will try my best to satisfy you! "

It sounds like the Duke has "accepted his fate" and is ready to have a good talk with Chu Yunfeng, but the word "try his best" at the end seems to reveal that he still wants to take advantage?
Do you think Chu Yunfeng will sell it to him at a low price?
Ma Fu knew Dalton's temper very well, so he immediately responded: "What does "try your best" mean?
No matter how to deal with these things, it is up to my boss to decide, whoever he sells to is his freedom, as if he has to sell it to you?

I think we can hold a public auction in China. We will send invitations to those who are interested. I believe there will be many collectors interested. What do you think? "

Ma Fu's words instantly caught the Duke's pigtails, irritating him quite a bit. This was obviously a design to embarrass him, with absolutely bad intentions.

If such a thing could be allowed to happen, why would the Duke make such a trip?

It was just to keep things under control within the scope that he could accept, so he went to China so quickly to negotiate. Otherwise, it would definitely become a long-lasting joke of the upper class.

Such consequences are definitely not acceptable to the Duke, and his pride and honor are absolutely unbearable.

So the Duke was really angry. He slapped his hand heavily on the table and said, "Mr. Chu, when the two of us are discussing things, can you shut him up?"

The Duke's anger had an extraordinary intimidating effect on the old housekeeper and others, but Chu Yunfeng had no feeling at all.

So Chu Yunfeng said with a relaxed smile: "I'm really sorry, what Ma Fu said is what I want to say, and I have no reason or right to stop him from speaking.

If the Duke wants to have a good discussion, then we have a reciprocal relationship. Threats and intimidation are okay in Europe, but this is China, and we will not make such unreasonable and rude actions. "

Using "unreasonable" and "rude", Chu Yunfeng was more concerned about Duke Dalton's face. When he thought of being restricted in freedom in Florence, Chu Yunfeng felt an unknown fire coming out.

If it weren't for the sake of tolerance, I would have given them a taste of the power through diplomatic channels!

Faced with Chu Yunfeng's unceremonious announcement of his position, the Duke immediately felt that the matter was quite difficult. The other party was refusing to give in, and he had already used all his methods, and there was nothing he could do against the other party.

Especially after the foreign affairs channels failed, I realized that Chu Yunfeng was still very influential in the country. If he continued to be tough, the other party would simply stop playing with him, and that would be the end!
Especially the video, if it is released, the consequences will be unacceptable to me, absolutely, completely unacceptable, this is the bottom line!

The "desperate" Duke glanced at the old butler and found that he seemed to have no good solution. He could only sigh silently in his heart and said: "Okay, let's have a good talk!

First I need to figure out how many paintings you have on hand, and I need to make an assessment of them! "

"no problem!"

Chu Yunfeng agreed simply. After all, there was a transaction between the two parties. This was a normal process, but the process would not be what Duke Dalton thought.

Then the Duke continued: "Things are flowing out from me. When I buy them back, I should enjoy priority and be given a favorable discount!"

"no problem!"

Chu Yunfeng still agreed, which immediately made the Duke and the old housekeeper look surprised, but unexpectedly Chu Yunfeng immediately added: "Priority is okay.

But there is no discount, I still need a premium! "

"What? Premium?"

When Mu Qing finished translating, the old housekeeper and the Duke's eyes widened instantly, unable to believe what they heard.

"You are robbing and threatening, you have no sincerity at all!"

The old housekeeper made a serious protest, but Chu Yunfeng casually raised his index finger and shook it, and replied lightly: "It's okay if there is no premium, and the related videos will not be part of the transaction!"

what?
At this time, the old housekeeper and the Duke were instantly confused. They originally wanted to add this clause when the final negotiation was about to be finalized. If Chu Yunfeng did not agree, then he would not agree.

But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning. Chu Yunfeng would use this as a bargaining chip, catching himself off guard. It was more of a humiliation and spiritual humiliation.

When did I have such a leverage to be taken advantage of?
This feeling of powerlessness makes people very uncomfortable and even more unhappy, but there is nothing that can be done about it!
"Impossible, you are blackmailing me. If you want to trade, the video must be destroyed first and you must promise not to leak it.

And you must sign an agreement. If there are consequences caused by leakage, you must bear all losses and compensation. "

The Duke will definitely pay attention to the video issue first, and he will not make any concessions on this point.

Seeing that the other party was about to jump, Chu Yunfeng smiled lightly and said, "Sorry, the video is our evidence, which can prove the legitimacy of these things.

So the agreement you mentioned is impossible to sign. In addition, the video is not impossible to give you, but it must be after the transaction.

And as you said, in the end you need to sign a transaction agreement to prove that this is a fair transaction between both parties, and that the things traded come from legal sources. "

After hearing Chu Yunfeng's strict logic, the Duke and the old housekeeper stopped talking for a moment. They exchanged looks inadvertently, and it was obvious that they were cooperating before.

Chu Yunfeng secretly wondered if he was so easy to deceive?

Get the video first and make sure you don't keep it. Then edit the video you have to prove that you stole the thing.

Or it was obtained by other unfair means. He can easily take back these paintings when the time comes. Isn't this a little too good to think about?
It was indeed extremely treacherous. Before Chu Yunfeng came, he had already discussed with everyone the traps they would face. As expected, the other party really had this plan.

After being exposed by Chu Yunfeng, the Duke did not change his expression, immediately put aside the previous question, and continued: "The premium is okay, but I will give you a maximum of 5%, and it will all be paid in cash.

If you are not interested in cash, I have many manors and villas overseas, as well as stocks of many listed companies, etc., which can be exchanged.

Don't worry, these tangible assets will be evaluated by professionals, and you won't suffer any disadvantages. How about it? Think about it? "

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng refused to jump into the trap he had dug before, the Duke had no choice but to have a serious discussion, but the transaction method was naturally biased towards the one he liked.

This was definitely not what Chu Yunfeng liked, so he immediately shook his head and said: "I have emphasized to the old housekeeper before that you can trade if you want, but you must trade with Chinese antiques!

The premium cannot be so low. I think 35% is okay. If it is lower than this number, let’s not talk about it! "

Chu Yunfeng said this very confidently. He was not begging for help now, so he was not afraid that the other party would not agree. The 30% previously planned was increased by 5% for him at this time.

The premium was so high that it immediately made the Duke very angry. This was obviously not the right pace for a good negotiation. How could such a price be accepted?
And it has to be exchanged for antiques. How much of my collection will this consume?It’s heartbreaking to think about it!

Compared with European and American antiques, although I don't care much about Chinese antiques, after all, they have been collected for many years, and it is not easy to collect them.

Besides, there are indeed many treasures inside, and these things cannot be bought with money!

However, he was angry, but the Duke still did not lose his mind, because there were still some things that needed to be determined, so he asked with a hint of contempt: "I wonder if Mr. Chu intends to use these dozen paintings in exchange?

Now is it time to tell me how many paintings you have?
Shouldn't you show your sincerity and show me all the paintings on your hand? "

Again!
This is because he wants to know his trump card. The quantity and value of these paintings will definitely be viewed and evaluated by the other party in the end, but not now.

Speaking of sincerity, Chu Yunfeng smiled disdainfully and said, "Duke, are you saying the opposite? I have already shown you some of the precious paintings.

But now you have not agreed to my request for exchange, nor have you allowed me to see whether you have so many Chinese antiques that can be traded on a reciprocal basis.

If you don't show your sincerity, then I have reason to suspect that you don't have the strength to eat our food, so I'm sorry.

We will auction these items separately and invite people who are interested in these paintings to trade with their collection of Chinese antiques.

I believe that many collectors in Europe will be happy to see this situation. After all, they will also have a large collection of Chinese antiques in their hands. I can also exchange these paintings. "

After Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, the three teachers nodded in agreement, while Mu Qing snickered secretly. Chu Yunfeng was very skillful in attacking others, specifically targeting the opponent's weaknesses.

Ma Fu also understood this strategy, so he started to make up for it: "At that time, we can also hold a press conference to announce the origin of these paintings, so as to dispel everyone's suspicion.

I believe there will be a lot of people coming by then, and even if we offer a 50% premium, I believe there will be many people willing to join in the fun. "

Ma Fu's words were even more heart-wrenching. This was obviously a reminder that if you take this step, you will be embarrassed when the time comes, and your enemies will flock to you.

After they exchange the things back, they will definitely make a big publicity, and then we will see where your Duke's face will be put!
Chu Yunfeng and Ma Fu's chorus made the Duke and the old housekeeper look livid, but there was nothing they could do. The current situation was quite unfavorable to them.

If you're not good at literature, let alone martial arts, this is China, don't even think about it!
After being silent for a full 2 ​​minutes, the Duke felt extremely entangled in his heart. He had never felt so aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do!

In the end, he could only nod and say: "Let's not talk about the premium for now, but I have to see the paintings on the phone first, otherwise I will never agree to this!"

Faced with the Duke's request, Chu Yunfeng refused to give in at first, but later he saw that his attitude was very determined, so he discussed it with the three teachers and finally agreed.

Just watch it, but it's impossible to show you everything. Although I don't know what the Duke has in mind, Chu Yunfeng will not expose all his trump cards to others at once.

As soon as he left, it was already around 08:30 in the evening. When he saw the Duke hurriedly walked out of the private room, Chu Yunfeng snickered secretly in his heart.

It's okay if you want to see paintings, but if you want to make some crooked ideas, you'll naturally lose your focus once you get there!

"We have something else to do, let's go and settle the bill with me!"

After walking out of the private room, Chu Yunfeng immediately came to Peng Yue and said hello to him, but Peng Yue immediately said with a straight face: "I'm going to go, you really don't treat me as a brother, why are you paying for a meal!"

Chu Yunfeng smiled, punched him on the shoulder and said: "One yard, one yard, it's fine if I come to eat by myself, today is a treat, how can I not pay?"

Seeing Chu Yunfeng's resolute attitude, Peng Yue could only agree and made an appointment to meet again when there was time. Knowing that Chu Yunfeng was doing big things, he did not keep him.

After Chu Yunfeng and the others left, Peng Yue came back from the door and murmured: "Be a good boy, this is definitely a big business worth tens of billions. Brother Chu is a little too aggressive."

Tens of billions?
Duke Dalton thought so at first, but after Chu Yunfeng led them to the suburbs and entered the military camp, his and the old housekeeper's expressions changed instantly.

Is this a military camp?

The need for such strict protection already proved the value of these paintings, so both of them were immediately heartbroken.
