The richest man Yang Fei

"What a bad day! I've been delayed for too long by a few damn visitors! Mr. Yang, do you have any antiques you fancy? Must have?"

Yang Fei let out a groan, but he was thinking, the damned guest that Edison met was not an arms dealer, right?

Alice reported to Edison that Yang Fei had taken a fancy to the wood-carved and painted Buddha statue.

Addison looked strange: "Really? Oh, very good, of course it's very good! It's the most valuable antique in the entire castle, some people think so! Mr. Yang has the best vision, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen it !"

Yang Fei asked: "Mr. Addison, how much do you want to sell that Buddha statue?"

Chapter 1916 Excessive asking price, pay back the money on the spot

Addison held up a finger and smiled.

Yang Fei shouldn't speculate wildly. After all, the other party also knows that this Buddha statue is the most precious of all antiques. What if the other party's lion opens its mouth?Or is your offer far higher than the other party's expectations?

Therefore, Yang Fei just looked at Edison and didn't take the initiative to say the price.

Edison said: "1000 million!"

Yang Fei frowned and said, "RMB?"

Addison laughed and said, "Of course it's euros, and dollars are also fine. The exchange rate is about the same!"

Yang Fei said: "It's too expensive. Mr. Addison, this Buddha statue is only carved from wood, so it's not worth that much money."

Addison said: "I know it's carved out of wood! But it's lacquered and gold powdered. It's a golden Buddha."

Yang Fei said: "If it is made of pure gold, I will buy it without hesitation for 1000 million euros. For 1000 million euros, according to the current gold price, I can buy more than 2000 catties of gold! It is enough to make more than a dozen such Big solid gold Buddha statue."

He knew that Addison didn't understand antiques, only gold and money!

Therefore, he deliberately used the price of gold for comparison.

The price of gold around 2000 was indeed very cheap, 80 to [-] yuan per gram.

But this is cheap, compared to the price of gold 20 years later.

And the labor force at that time was also low. If you think about it this way, the price of gold at that time was not cheap.

Addison thought for a while and agreed. Maybe he really wanted to promote this deal. Maybe these so-called antiques were really a waste of space for him. So he asked Yang Fei, "Mr. How much do you think it's worth?"

Yang Fei said: "Not long ago at Christie's auction in New York, I bought a precious object. It was an antique from our country more than 600 years ago. I only spent 950 million US dollars. At that auction, there were also A statue of Buddha was put up for auction, also gilded, a bit bigger than this one, but only sold for $100 million. I would buy this statue for $100 million if Mr. Addison would agree .”

"100 million?" Addison obviously felt that the price was too low, "You have to know, this is the most valuable treasure in the antique room!"

Yang Fei laughed and said, "It's hard to say the value of an antique. If you like it, you can pay a high price for it. If you don't like it, then it's not worth that much money. The bronze ware I photographed earlier, in fact, the market price is not that high." Not high, similar bronzes only fetched $200 or [-] million at auction. But I like it, and I'm willing to pay more for it. Just like you like Alice, you think she is priceless, and you are willing to pay for her A higher price."

Addison said: "Mr. Yang, you also like this Buddha statue very much! You should be able to pay a higher price for it?"

Yang Fei shook his head and said: "No, I just heard from Alice that this Buddha statue is very unlucky. She saw it open its eyes, and several people died in the castle that night. That's why I want to invite it back to the country. I'm here to help you."

Addison glanced at Alice.

Alice said coquettishly: "Addison, sell it! We are really afraid of it! You have so many antiques, what does it matter if you lose one?"

Edison said: "100 million euros? This is really too low."

Alice said: "100 million is quite a lot, let's sell it! This kind of antique is not liked by ordinary people. It is rare that Mr. Yang is willing to buy it, so you can sell it to him! I think it is not good to keep it in the castle. not good."

Edison said: "Okay, 100 million euros, it's a deal! This Buddha statue belongs to you!"

Yang Fei smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Addison. I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't bring so much money. I'll come back tomorrow to complete the transaction!"

Edison said: "Yes. Mr. Yang, don't you look down on other antiques?"

Yang Fei said: "The future is long, I think we still have a chance to cooperate."

Edison suddenly said, "Mr. Yang, have we met before? I think you look familiar."

Yang Fei thought to himself that the oil fields and refineries he invested in Africa were once under Edison's management. If the other party remembered that he had invested a huge amount in the refinery, then things would be troublesome.

So, Yang Fei laughed and said, "I'm ashamed, I often appear on various news, maybe Mr. Addison has seen my related reports?"

Addison didn't think much about it. In fact, when he was in Africa, all the investments were made by Evelica and others. He himself was not good at management, so he couldn't remember where he had invested. .

Yang Fei's explanation is also very reasonable.

Addison smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet the richest man in Chinese!"

Yang Fei said: "I don't dare to be, I'm just the richest man in China. There are many people in the Chinese world who are richer than me."

This time, Yang Fei and the others didn't stay for long, they declined Edison's banquet and left down the mountain.

Back to the homestay.

Yang Fei, Fu Heng and others had another small meeting.

Fu Hengdao: "[-]% of the antiques in the castle are from our country!"

Wang Yuanzhi sighed, "The former owner of this ancient castle probably stole a boatload of antiques from our country!"

Yang Fei said: "We have a relationship with Edison, and it will be easier to enter the castle again."

Fu Hengdao: "However, they already know us. If we act, we will be easily discovered by them."

Yang Fei said: "Our actions don't have to enter through the main entrance. Instead, we go down the sewer."

Hu Xuanlin said: "I checked today. Near the basement of the castle, there is a sewer exit. If you go up from there, you only need to walk 30 meters to enter the basement."

Yang Fei said: "The basement is full of traps, can I go in?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "When Alice took us in, there were three floors of access control in the basement. The key must be a no-brainer. We can't get it. We can only find other ways to get in."

Yang Fei said, "Is there a sewer in the basement?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "No."

Li Juan said: "Or, we can directly make a passage from the appropriate location of the sewer to the basement of the ancient castle, and transport the antiques away without anyone noticing?"

Yang Fei said: "This? Is it feasible? It will take a long time to build a tunnel."

Hu Xuanlin calculated with his fingers, and said, "There is also a distance of 50 meters from the sewer to the nearest basement. I don't know yet whether the basement floor has been specially treated. If so, it will be even more difficult."

Yang Fei said: "This plan doesn't work. It is too difficult to hollow out a distance of 50 meters under their noses, and it is very likely to be a waste of time, because the basement of this kind of castle must have a deep foundation, and the hardening of the ground will also cause a lot of trouble." It's very strong, if you work hard to dig through it, but you can't break through the wall, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "I have to find a way to break through the access control of the basement!"

Li Juan said: "This way, the risk factor is higher. And so many antiques, how to transport them out? There is a distance of 30 meters from the gate of the basement to the entrance of the sewer! There are guards patrolling nearby!"
