Chapter 12 Transactions
The old man's words exuded an inexplicable majesty, which immediately interrupted Lin Feng.
Then, James seemed to be magical, and he created a briefcase from somewhere and spread it out on the coffee table locally.
I saw thick stacks of American knives in the briefcase, neatly placing them inside, all of which were worth a hundred yuan in bills. Judging from the situation, it was at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.
really.
The next second, James explained, “It’s a million dollars.”
At the same time, the old man also took a necklace from his neck, spread it gently on the surface of the US dollar bill, and said, "My name is Paul."
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng didn't understand what the old man meant.
So he sighed, took off the platinum necklace he picked up from his neck and put it on the banknotes. It was exactly the same as the one he took off by the old man.
When the old man saw Lin Feng put down his necklace, he looked moved with a rare look. After a long time, he picked up the necklace with both hands and came to him to observe carefully.
"That's right, it's Leonard's necklace. I didn't expect that it was finally found by me for more than two hundred years."
Lin Feng was not polite either, and took the old man off the necklace and took it up and observed it carefully.
The old man's necklace is indeed very similar to the one he picked up. The only difference seems to be that the patterns of the sea boats carved on the old man's necklace are much clearer.
Lin Feng counted carefully and found that there were ten sailboats, no more or less.
"What else?"
After reading the necklace, the old man gently put it back on the coffee table, looked at Lin Feng and said, "There should be something else?"
Lin Feng did not hide it, nodded, then took out the metal box from his backpack and said, "That's all."
Seeing this, the old man looked at Lin Feng deeply and said, "You are a smart young man, very well prepared, I admire you very much."
At this time, it had been ten days since Lin Feng brought back these things.
Although Lin Feng resealed the metal box, the sealing property was still not as good as before, so the paper of which notebook has become a little black and brittle due to oxidation, air temperature and humidity changes, etc.
The handwriting on it has become a little blurry, as if it will be broken into pieces with just a touch of the paper.
"It's been opened in the past few days."
The old man glanced at Lin Feng and said.
"Yes, I opened it because of curiosity. And there are many things that I wondered about, for example, the first date in the diary was April 14, 1794, and the pendant of this necklace was actually made of rhodium.
At the end of the 18th century, rhodium? This is too unreasonable."
Lin Feng looked at Paul calmly and said, "I am very curious about these doubts. I hope to resolve the doubts in my heart. This is also my purpose for coming here."
"Curiosity will kill cats." The old man sighed.
Lin Feng didn't care and smiled and said, "The rhodium necklace that existed before the official discovery of rhodium, plus the secret in this diary, isn't it too cheap to sell a mere million US dollars?
If I solve my doubts, this price is also suitable."
When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Secret? The secret of the diary?"
Lin Feng nodded. Since he could not study in depth with his current resources, why not use these relics to exchange for an answer? Maybe it can not only solve the doubts, but also get a lot of money. This is a good deal.
The old man was silent for a moment, slowly stood up, and politely said, "Please wait for me for a few minutes."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the suite.
The old man left, and James sat next to Lin Feng and started chatting with him in a mess.
"By the way, this old man said his name is Paul, is it his first or last name? Can you introduce this old man?" Lin Feng asked after asking a question.
"Just just call him Mr. Baoluo." James seemed unwilling to say more.
Seeing this, Lin Feng also saw that James was deliberately avoiding it, so he stopped asking and chatted with James every time.
Before we knew it, more than two hours passed, and Mr. Paul was still in his suite and had no intention of coming out.
It was already late at night. Lin Feng was a little impatient when he waited, so he picked up his necklace and put it on his neck, ready to get up and walk out.
Seeing this, James had no intention of stopping.
It was not until Lin Feng walked to the door that he said slowly and calmly, "Lin Feng, you can take this box of money away. We have already received the news we want, as well as this diary.
You deserve this money, but I suggest you wait a little longer, maybe you will get more rewards, and maybe you can solve your doubts."
Lin Feng thought about it, and seemed unwilling to give up, saying, "I need to make a few calls."
James smiled and said, "There are always some secrets in a person's life, but once these secrets are leaked, the consequences will be difficult to say."
Lin Feng was very disdainful of this and sneered, "What, are you threatening me?"
"Of course not, I'm a kind reminder." James said with a relaxed look on his face.
"For my personal safety, I need to make a few calls and tell some people that I am still here and have not walked out of this room." Lin Feng said cautiously.
"It seems that we still need some trust. Please give me your phone."
James stretched out his hand.
Before Lin Feng could answer, James closed the box containing the money with a "snap" and threw it to Lin Feng, saying, "This money is enough for you to buy countless mobile phones. Please give me your mobile phone."
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, and was not worried about anything, so he threw the phone over.
James picked up his cell phone and asked, "Who do you need to call?"
Lin Feng said, "One is Cui Wucheng, the owner of the antique shop, and the other is the woman who lives with me, Tang Wan."
"no problem."
James nodded, turned to the numbers of the two people, and said, "You can call them by phone in the room, I can read their numbers to you. Don't worry, I have no malice and don't want you to be hostile."
"Yes, you don't have to read it, I'll call it myself."
With Lin Feng's memory, he naturally remembered their numbers, so under James' gaze, he called Cui Wucheng first.
He told Cui Wucheng that he had received the money here and was still chatting with them in the hotel. Because the number was relatively large, he wanted Cui Wucheng to drive over to pick her up.
Cui Wucheng obviously didn't know the real situation here, and thought Lin Feng was cautious in doing things, so he defeated Lin Feng so much that he agreed to drive to pick him up immediately.
