Chapter 692 Unconventional means
"Problem?" Jiang Laowu couldn't help but be even more confused when he heard Chen Jing's words. He said in a hoarse voice: "I don't know you."
Chen Jing smiled and said, "But I know you, Mr. Jiang." He stopped talking and said directly: "Don't you know if Mr. Jiang still remembers that he sold an ancient painting to Mr. Jiang Cheng-jiang from Kyoto many years ago?"
Jiang Laowu obviously had some impression of this matter. He looked up at Chen Jing, and said with a expressionless expression on his face: "Is there such a thing? What's wrong?"
Seeing that he still remembered, Chen Jing felt relieved and continued, "That's right, I want to ask where did you get that ancient painting?"
When Jiang Laowu heard his words, his expression did not change and said, "Why should I tell you?"
After a moment of pause, he looked at Chen Jing carefully and said, "In addition, I think you look familiar."
Why did Jiang Laowu see that he looks familiar? Chen Jing knew it clearly, so he directly changed the topic: "Mr. Jiang, how should you tell me about the origin of that ancient painting? What are the conditions you have? You can mention it."
Jiang Laowu narrowed his eyes, looked up at Chen Jing, and asked back, "Why, is there anything special about the painting?"
As he said that, he said to himself: "No, that painting is very ordinary, I won't read it wrong."
Chen Jing smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, that painting is indeed very ordinary and means nothing to others. It's just that it's a bit special to me."
This is to tell Jiang Laowu that the painting is not a big leak and has no great value in itself.
Jiang Laowu is quite confident in his identification ability, so he also agrees that what Chen Jing said is correct, but he is still confused.
Since it is worthless, why did Chen Jing run from Changcheng to Jinling and ask about the origin of the ancient painting he sold decades ago?
There must be unusual locations in this.
Therefore, Jiang Laowu said directly: "Boy, you'd better tell me directly what special significance that painting has to you, otherwise I won't tell you its origin."
The world is bustling with people, all for profit; the world is bustling with people, all for profit.
Jiang Laowu felt that Chen Jing would work hard to find him, proving that the painting must be profitable, even if he felt that the painting itself was not of much value.
As a tomb robber, Jiang Laowu was a profit-oriented person. He could not tell Chen Jing's origin of the ancient painting for no reason.
Chen Jing is actually very clear about this, and he also knows that his rash visit will inevitably arouse Jiang Laowu's vigilance, but he really has no better choice.
Because no matter what method is used by a person like Jiang Laowu, as long as he asks about the origin of ancient paintings, he will definitely be vigilant.
In fact, let alone a tomb robber, even an ordinary person who encounters this situation may not easily reveal the origin of ancient paintings.
Chen Jing’s only way to deal with this is: “Mr. Jiang, please offer a price.”
After all, it's still for the benefit.
Chen Jing could only use this simplest and straightforward method, even if this would make the other party more convinced that the ancient painting was valuable to him.
Now I can only hope that Jiang Laowu’s appetite is not too big.
Jiang Laowu grinned directly when he heard this. His voice was hoarse, and the laughter was also very strange. It sounded a bit like a night owl screaming in the darkness. It was harsh and weird.
"Young man, you are very clear." After laughing, Jiang Laowu said inexplicably: "I will tell you ten million."
Ten million?
This is no longer something that a lion can say.
"Mr. Jiang, this joke is not very funny." Chen Jing said with his face unchanged.
"Young man, I didn't joke with you."
When Chen Jing heard this, he knew that it was impossible to easily know the origin of the ancient painting from Jiang Laowu.
"That's what I'm disturbing." Chen Jing didn't say anything else, and turned around and left.
Jiang Laowu is not an ordinary person. Even if he is an ordinary person, as long as he is not a fool, this kind of thing is not handled like that.
Jiang Laowu had no intention of trying to keep Chen Jing at all. He just looked at Chen Jing's back, and there was also a look of thought in his eyes.
When Chen Jing walked away, he closed the door and then said to himself: "That painting is indeed not of great value. What is that kid's purpose?"
"Wait..." He suddenly remembered something and said, "Didn't that guy just find Chen Jing who is Jie Lu?"
"If I remember correctly, that painting is about Long Zi repaying Jun's kindness. This is the story of Sui Hou Zhu."
These points are connected together, and Jiang Laowu quickly figured out some things and grinned, "So, that kid wants to find Sui Houzhu? Haha, after finding Jie Lu for luck, I really thought how capable he was. He was so crazy."
He knew the origin of Long Zi's plan to repay his kindness, so he knew that with that ancient painting, it was absolutely impossible to find clues about the whereabouts of Sui Houzhu.
"Unless there is a god to help you, haha." Jiang Laowu smiled and shook his head, not thinking about this anymore. He felt that Chen Jing had just found the green and expanded, and he was still whimsical about looking for Sui Houzhu.
It’s better to think about the cooperation that Geng Chang and Gao Fu just mentioned.
"If they promised to give me 40% of the income, they could really take the risk to make another vote. If it was the tomb they said, then after doing this, I could retire and find my son and grandson to support me and enjoy family happiness."
Speaking of this, a look of expectation appeared on the face of this strange old tomb robber.
…………
Here, after Chen Jing left the villa community, he took a taxi and went back to the hotel where he was staying. His handsome face was not very good.
"Since that's the case, I can only use some unconventional means." Chen Jing sighed, thinking this in his heart.
Chen Jing doesn't want to use some methods very much. He is a person who likes to solve things peacefully. He really doesn't want to use special methods unless he has to.
But Jiang Laowu is really a bit difficult to deal with.
This matter is also related to Sui Hou Zhu, which is one of the things Chen Jing cares most, so he can't blame him.
After getting off the car, Chen Jing did not go back directly, but found a corner where no one was left and called Professor Chen.
"Master, I'm in some trouble, I want to discuss something with you."
After a while, Chen Jing hung up the phone and received a phone number from Professor Chen on his mobile phone. He dialed it without hesitation.
Soon, the phone was connected.
"Hello, is it Brother Liao? Yes, I am Chen Jing."
