Chapter 1097, Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Throne plus
Pick up the phone.
came an angry voice.
Jiliguala. Very excited. But I don’t understand it at all.
It seems to be French?
Huh? French guy?
What was the French guy doing calling the pawn shop?
Can't understand……
do not understand at all……
Be silent and wait for the other party to hang up the phone.
suddenly……
[Language pack download completed]
【French】
【Zidane】
An information prompt arrives.
Immediately, I felt like a lot of information was poured into my mind.
It seems they are all in French?
Huh?
Zidane?
It seems like something has gotten in...
Is it Zidane’s language pack?
I want Sophie Marceau...
But it doesn't matter. He can now understand the French spoken by the other party.
The other party is saying: "Why haven't you come yet? It's been five minutes since the appointed time. It's been five minutes. It's been five minutes..."
The rest are repeated endlessly, as if five minutes can cause the sky to collapse.
Put the microphone further away to avoid ear pain.
After the other party stopped roaring for a while, he said lazily: "Sir, who are you looking for?"
Of course he was speaking in French. There didn't seem to be anything difficult to pronounce.
It's like he was born French.
"Aren't you a Yongchang pawnshop? I asked you to collect the things, why didn't you come? Do you know how precious time is?" The other party roared again, feeling that his French was not as pure as Zhang Yong's plug-in language pack, "
If you don’t come, I won’t look for you anymore.”
"We are quite busy here and can't get away for the time being. Otherwise, you can find someone else." Zhang Yong didn't tolerate the other party either.
Since you're so angry, go find someone else. What's the name?
We don't do your business.
Anyway, all the people in Yongchang Pawn Shop are dead, so there is no way to continue operating.
"You!" The other party suddenly became angry.
"That's it." Zhang Yong hung up the phone.
Really.
I'm very busy here.
That much gold needs to be deposited in a bank.
By the way, what foreign banks are there in Hankou? Citi? HSBC? I don’t know if there are any...
"Jingle Bell……"
"Jingle Bell……"
Who knows, the phone rang again.
Frowning. The Frenchman is endless, right? You want to be scolded, right?
Okay, let's quarrel.
There are also a lot of curse words in the language pack.
It is said that when learning another language, the easiest thing to learn is swear words. They are used all over the world.
Pick up the phone.
"You are not trustworthy..." Sure enough, it was the French guy again.
"!@#￥%￥..." Zhang Yong immediately shouted back with a flurry of swear words.
"You bastards!" the French guy was furious.
"Baga!" Zhang Yong switched to Japanese.
"Come here right away!"
"No time!"
"I, I, I will file a complaint against you!"
"We are Japanese. You can complain as you like! Go to the League of Nations! Baga!"
Zhang Yong replied.
A string of curse words were added at the end.
Then a few more dirty words came to mind, and I was ready to throw them out.
Made. Swearing? My strong point! Come on!
I learned Chinese, vernacular, English, Japanese, German, and French at the same time, and took turns bombing...
Huh?
Suddenly it was an afterthought.
I actually know so many languages?
With three language packs plugged in, it is really powerful. If you add a few more in the future, you will really become a superman.
silence.
"You can go over now. Our business continues."
"Place."
Zhang Yong changed his tune angrily.
I was going to continue to curse, but the other person's tone seemed to soften.
Okay. Just go and see what's going on.
"old place."
"Tell me the specific address. I'm new here. I don't know where the old place is."
"Hankou, Concession, Bajiao Temple."
"knew."
"When are you coming?"
"Now!"
"I'll wait for you at the Bajiao Temple. See you there or not."
"good!"
Zhang Yong hung up the phone again.
Damn it. I have to run back to Hankou again. What a joke.
I'm here in Wuchang now! Do I need to take a boat there again?
etc!
Pinghan Railway?
Is there a railway bridge?
And oh, no, the terminal station of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway is also on the Hankou side. It’s called Hankou Station.
The train station here in Wuchang is called Wuchang Station. It is connected to other railways. There is no bridge over the river.
It took the founding of New China to build the first bridge.
what to do?
The only option is to take the boat honestly.
What to do with so much gold, oceans, and legal tender in the pawn shop?
It's definitely not safe to put it here. If someone takes it away, don't worry.
Go out.
I happened to see a car running again.
So I "borrowed" them temporarily on the street. I "borrowed" eight cars at once before moving them all.
Having a gun in your hand means being willful.
No matter who you are, you must be obedient.
No matter how big your position is, are you as big as me?
There are only nine military and political committees and inspectors in the country.
Believe it or not, I immediately inspected you!
If you were labeled a red party member or a spy, you would be shot on the spot and no one would dare to question you.
Privilege is so crazy.
Move all the way to the shore, get on the boat, and then let the car go.
The compensation for each car is twenty French currency, which is considered as gas money. It is enough.
Then set sail.
Meet the Tokawa Maru freighter.
All the belongings were moved to the Tokawa Maru.
It's safe for now.
Lin Yifeng was left in charge. Zhang Yong led a small team to the Bajiao Temple in the concession.
The concession in Hankou is actually quite prosperous. Although the place is not as vast as the concession in Shanghai, the various buildings look quite modern.
It seems that there is a very fashionable nickname here, called "Chicago of the East"?
Prepare to go ashore.
Dress up a little.
Pretending to be a pawnbroker, put on a silk gown and sunglasses.
There is also a magnifying glass in his pocket, just for show. When necessary, he can take it out and pretend to appraise antiques.
Pack it up properly.
Go ashore and walk along the river street.
There are all kinds of foreign companies nearby. It's very impressive.
What these foreign companies sell are not ordinary daily necessities. They are bulk goods.
Almost all are related to arms.
Warlords from various places who want arms often send people here to negotiate.
Behind so many foreign companies are Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Russia, Japan, Spain, Italy, Belgium...
There is always one that suits you. However, it is impossible to get high quality and low price.
No matter which country the arms are from, the price is very high. This is the unspoken rule of the entire industry.
The shell gun is a typical example.
If it is sold at cost price, it can be up to one hundred oceans.
However, after coming to China, regular channels often cost 300 yuan. This is crazy.
However, at that time, various warlords in China were in urgent need of arms. So they paid for them one after another regardless of the high price. They gave a lot of wealth to foreigners.
Because the profit of arms is too tempting, some people secretly smuggle them. The price is relatively cheap.
Especially those selling second-hand arms are particularly active.
After the end of World War I, a large number of old rifles were sold to China.
Now more than 20 years have passed, and those old rifles have been worn out.
"boss."
Suddenly someone prompted.
Zhang Yong followed the other person's fingers and looked over.
I saw a person tied up under the lamppost in front of me. It seemed to be a public display?
I went up to look at it and found a sign hanging on it. It turned out to be a thief.
It should have been done by the concession patrol.
The punishment method is that simple, rough and barbaric.
Pretending not to see it.
He is now from Yongchang Pawnshop. He is not a superior inspector.
The title of his subordinates also changed from specialist to boss.
Keep going.
I found a lot of gold symbols. There were also a lot of weapon symbols. There were also a lot of radio station symbols.
Sure enough, there is really everything in the concession.
There are even several yellow dots.
Sure enough, no one in the world is incompatible with the Communist Party. The Red Party is everywhere.
Finally I found the Bajiao Temple.
It turned out to be behind the French Club. It was a place name.
There is no temple. It is just a place name. There is a road sign.
There was a small black car parked next to it. I don’t know what brand it was. Maybe it was a French car?
There is also a gold logo inside the car.
There was a Frenchman standing next to the car. He was smoking and very impatient.
It should be him. Zhang Yong walked up.
Speak in Japanese.
"Are you going to ship the goods? I'm from Yongchang Pawnshop..."
"How long do you want me to wait?"
The Frenchman became irritable and nagging again.
Zhang Yong tilted his head and looked at the other person. His eyes were also very unhappy.
"We came from Wuchang." He interrupted the Frenchman coldly.
"It's you who didn't show up on time..." The Frenchman was full of complaints.
"What kind of goods? Take it out and take a look."
"The price agreed upon last time. After you make the sale, you must make the payment in time."
"Look at the goods."
Zhang Yong was too lazy to make noise with the other party.
You don't have time, and I don't have time even more. This is completely a side task, okay.
"There are three items this time..."
"Look at the goods."
"This way."
The Frenchman opened the car door and took out a wooden box.
The wooden box is about two feet long and one foot wide. It seems to be very heavy.
"Put it on the ground."
"good."
The Frenchman looked around warily.
After making sure there was no one else, put the wooden box down.
Then open it.
The inside is thick silk cloth, dark red.
He opened the red silk cloth layer by layer. Zhang Yong's eyes finally flickered.
Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat?
Above is a golden Buddha statue.
Is it the blue field jade base below? Or is it Hetian jade?
Authentic?
Fake?
Looks like the Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat?
He seems to have captured it once before. It looks similar.
However, this time it is bigger. The Frenchman needs both hands to hold it. It looks very heavy at first glance.
It's amazing. These French guys actually got such a treasure.
How to call this?
Amyrlin Golden Buddha plus?
right……
Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat, Plath version. More valuable than the previous one.
Mud. This is also a national treasure!
It actually fell into the hands of the French.
Whatever...
Collect it first and then talk about it.
Once it's in your own hands, it's yours.
"At least ten thousand dollars."
"What?"
"At least ten thousand dollars!"
"good."
Zhang Yong agreed.
It turns out that the Amyrlin Golden Buddha Plus only costs US$10,000!
It seems pretty cheap.
Then I realized something was wrong.
That’s ten thousand dollars in this era!
It's equivalent to tens of thousands of oceans. It can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of francs.
For the French, this thing is just an appreciation item, far less valuable than hundreds of thousands of francs.
The most important thing is that its origin should be illegal and cannot be exposed.
If you want to sell, you can only find underground channels. Naturally, the price will not go up.
"anything else?"
"See this for yourself."
"good."
Zhang Yong walked over.
I found a large piece of jade.
To be precise, it is raw jadeite.
There is jadeite inside. It seems to be of good quality, but it has not been carefully crafted.
"This is not worth the money."
"Five hundred dollars."
"I can't afford it."
"Four hundred and five."
"don't want."
Zhang Yong refused.
He doesn't want anything else except gold and silver.
It's hard to find buyers for diamonds, jade, etc. He's not really a pawn shop. He doesn't have such channels.
"Look at this again."
"good."
Open a sack next to it.
It was found to be an obvious artifact. It was a burial object dug out of the ground.
Zhang Yong had seen a lot of this kind of thing when dealing with the Sophora Agency before. After a cursory glance, he felt it was worthless, so he shook his head.
"don't want."
"Why?"
"It is worthless."
"Two, four hundred dollars."
"don't want."
"This was dug out from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in China."
"don't want."
Zhang Yong still refused.
It doesn’t matter what imperial mausoleum you want. If you don’t want it, you don’t want it.
The French guy suddenly became unhappy.
He thought for a while and suddenly said: "You are Japanese."
"That's right." Zhang Yong nodded.
"Then I'll give you some information. It only costs five hundred dollars. These two treasures will be given away for free."
"What information?"
Zhang Yong's eyes narrowed.
This French guy still sells information?
Are they colleagues?
hehe.
"You Japanese navy has high-level spies."
"evidence."
"The location of your navy's aircraft carriers has been leaked."
"evidence."
"Kaga's location has been exposed."
"evidence."
"Someone sent a telegram revealing the exact location of the Kaga."
"evidence."
Zhang Yong repeated a word.
This French guy still wants to deceive people. When did this information come from?
If the other party is from the French intelligence service, it only means that the other party is really stupid.
So slow to react.
No wonder I will be attacked by Mustache in the future.
"you do not believe?"
"First, I have to determine your identity."
"I am from the French Military Intelligence Service. My name is Connade. My superficial identity is the Assistant to the Public Directorate."
"Mr. Connaird, we have known the information you mentioned for a long time. Unfortunately, this information is worth less than five hundred dollars."
"Then you want to know how the information was leaked? Who is the spy?"
"Of course I do. We are investigating internally. But, Mr. Connaird, I don't think you have access to the secrets."
"I have a secret channel."
Conrad looked mysterious. Zhang Yong suddenly wanted to laugh.
He can be sure that this Conrad is definitely an amateur. What kind of military intelligence agency is this? That's nonsense.
Does France have a military intelligence agency? I haven’t heard of it.
Moreover, Catherine never mentioned it. She never mentioned the French spies.
Or, there is none at all.
Or, the French are self-contained and do not communicate with the outside world.
If that's the case, then...
Mainly anti-customer.
"Mr. Connaird, have you heard of His Highness Yongren of the Empire of Japan?"
"It seems there is such a person."
"If I say that His Highness Yongren wants to replace the current emperor, are you French people interested in supporting him?"
"Oh, you mean, he wants to overthrow the current emperor?"
"Yes."
"So, who are you?"
"Of course he is the one who actively promoted Yongren to replace the emperor."
"promote?"
"Yes. The initiative is in our hands."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Of course we will provide as much help as we can."
"Sorry, we French are not interested in this matter."
"real?"
"That's right. We're not interested."
Conrad refused flatly.
As if to counter Zhang Yong's attitude just now.
Zhang Yong doesn't care.
The opportunity has been given to you. You French people don’t cherish it!
