81 Hot Potatoes
Emotionally speaking, Chen Rui extremely hopes to win over this rhinoceros.
After all, this is a treasure that belongs to us Dragon Country people.
But if he buys this treasure, will Karen be resistant?
Will this ruin his relationship with Karen?
If it were Karen and patriotic sentiment broke out, would she report herself?
But while he was still hesitating, Karen suddenly turned around and looked at James with bright eyes.
"How much does this cost?"
Chen Rui almost fell to the ground.
Good guy, your "patriotism" is really more thorough than I thought!
When Lao Hei heard Karen's inquiry, a smile appeared on his lips, but his eyes never left Chen Rui.
Obviously he also knew that Chen Rui was the real owner.
"This thing is priceless. I think it is worth at least one million... Daole..."
James made an offer.
As soon as he gave the price, Chen Rui immediately frowned, and Karen also had a look of ridicule on her face.
"Man, this thing is a priceless treasure, but only if you can get it to the auction site."
Chen Rui said with profound meaning that this bronze vessel is indeed a priceless treasure to the people of the Dragon Kingdom.
But the premise is that your origin is aboveboard.
In that case, not to mention one million, but even ten million swords are possible.
But you stole this from a museum...
Karen next to him also sneered and said after finishing the attack.
"That's right, where is this place? This is a ghost market, so don't you think this price is outrageous?"
"In this place, the average price quoted by many antique shops does not exceed 30,000 dollars. I think you know why..."
The two of them were talking to each other, and Lao Hei across from him suddenly became a little annoyed.
"Don't you want anyone else..."
Karen chuckled upon hearing this.
"Come on! If you could find another seller, you wouldn't be here."
"And I guarantee that you won't even dare to sell this thing on the dark web. This thing is a hot potato."
"I advise you to make an appointment as soon as possible..."
Karen's words were not entirely threatening.
What she said was true. These things came from the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
Moreover, it is also the opponent's most valuable asset. This move definitely stirs up a hornet's nest.
Now people may be looking for these treasures all over the world.
There might be police spies in this market.
Although no one is arrested at the market, if they find traces of these treasures.
Then you wait until the market is over and see if they catch you or not.
This is why this old gangster dare not openly set up a stall in the ghost market.
The main reason why he can only set up a 'secret door' here is because he also knows how dangerous this market is.
The 'goods' in his hands are not cameras or other things that were dropped from other people's homes.
If someone catches this thing, it will cost you your head.
"Well, okay, then 800,000..."
Lao Hei finally chose to face reality.
"Thirty thousand!"
Karen paid back the price, and Chen Rui was shocked after hearing this.
He knew that Karen's dragon-slaying knife was very powerful, but he didn't expect that this woman would cut her ankle with one strike!
The old Hei opposite him suddenly became excited again, that is, his skin was dark.
Otherwise, you would definitely have seen his face, which was as red as a crab.
"Seven hundred thousand."
Fortunately, he understood his situation and adjusted his quotation downwards a lot.
"forty thousand……"
Karen's quotation was still speechless, and Chen Rui was frightened when he heard it.
He was really afraid that such an offer from her would anger the old black man opposite him.
These guys are famous for their uncontrollable emotions. If they are stimulated, they can take out biubiu in a minute.
He didn't want anything to happen in this ghost market.
"Five million."
Lao Hei almost gritted his teeth and gave a new offer.
Chen Rui seemed to remember something, and he whispered a few words into Karen's ear.
Karen raised her head and looked at Lao Hei with a smile: "By the way, since this thing is in your hands."
"Think about it, you should have more than just this one treasure in your hand!"
"If you have any good stuff, you might as well take it all out at once."
"If possible, we can give you a fixed price and cover everything."
Hearing what she said, Lao Hei's face paused for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"Okay, you guys wait a moment, I'll make a phone call first."
As he said that, he put away his bag, turned around, walked to the dark corner, and started to make a call.
He and the person on the other end of the phone discussed it for probably a few minutes, and finally came back to them.
"We do have a few good things, you can take them all if you want."
"But to make it happen, we only accept cash, not transfers or checks."
"We also don’t accept any electronic money..."
This old black man is also very cautious. He doesn't trust anything except cash.
Chen Rui and Karen looked at each other, and then they whispered a few words.
Karen turned around and left, and Chen Rui looked up at the old black man.
"She went to prepare cash. Now you take me to inspect the goods."
"If there's nothing wrong with the items, we'll take them all."
Maybe it was because they had cooperated before, and Lao Hei still recognized Chen Rui's strength.
Moreover, Karen turned around to raise money, which was in line with common sense, so she didn’t say anything more and turned around to lead the way.
Chen Rui followed him closely, and soon came to a tent in the middle of the market.
This tent is placed behind a stall.
Lao Hei took Chen Rui into the tent. There was no one else inside, but there were a few things covered with things on the ground of the tent.
Lao Hei gave Chen Rui a look, and Chen Rui knelt down and lifted up all the hijabs.
Looking at it, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
No wonder this old black man obeyed the advice so obediently. It turned out that he was more than just stirring up a hornet's nest this time.
He broke the news now!
This guy, here are some of the treasures of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco.
How on earth did this guy do it?
Looking at these treasures covered under the blanket, Chen Rui was a little confused at the moment...
This guy not only got rid of the national treasure of our Dragon Kingdom.
Even the national treasures of the Japanese country were pulled out.
These are the two wooden sculptures of Buddha. Chen Rui also glanced at them a few times in the museum.
At that time, these two statues stood outside the bronze exhibition area.
When he looked at the two statues, there seemed to be no difference between them, but he could look carefully at the introduction below.
Only then did I learn that these two pieces are actually Japan’s national treasures.
Statues of Lord Shakti and Brahma!
The two statues were made in the early eighth century AD and used the dry lacquer technique.
