Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The bearded man was a little hesitant.

Luo Fu held his breath and waited for the result. The others continued to drink red wine and smoke cigars. They seemed not to be in a hurry to ask for the price of what they liked. The women also tried to keep their movements and voices quiet. And many women were somewhat envious.

Looking at the bearded female companion.

But now the envy can still be hidden. If the bearded man can really take the brooch and give it to his female companion, then many women will definitely show their envy. Or they can privately pass the note to the bearded man.

no way.

He rubbed the beard on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, he seemed to feel the strange looks from the women around him. He who was still hesitating suddenly showed a free and easy smile.

"Okay, let's just pay this price. Although I can buy a larger sapphire for 150,000 pounds, the size of something worn by the princess or even the queen is not comparable."

"You are absolutely right." Luo Fu, who was holding his breath, was so happy that he almost knelt down and handed the things over, causing the bearded man to transfer the money immediately.

However, he still tried his best not to hold back his excitement, picked up the jewelry box and delivered it to the bearded man himself. As for the transfer or cash, he could accept it.

But transferring money is obviously not possible now. This requires going to the bank. So the bearded man waved his hand and signed a check directly to Luo Fu. This thing is much more convenient than going to the bank to transfer money in Europe and the United States.

He took the check with both hands. Although he did not hold it carefully for inspection, Luo Fu still confirmed the number on the check in a very short time, and then carefully collected the check.

As for the authenticity of the check, this is the least thing to worry about. He knows the identity of the bearded man. His family is in the real estate business and he is considered a member of the circle. If he dares to give a fake check, the loss of his reputation will be equivalent to 150,000 pounds.

Much more.

With his bearded head and the fingers of the female companion next to him, they were very gentle on the body. I placed the things in the sure-to-pack area, and people started asking for prices frequently, and then transactions were completed.

As Big Beard said, the value of something with historical heritage cannot be measured by its size. For example, if you wear that brooch that has history and was even worn by the Queen to a dinner party.

Everyone will feel that you are more stylish when you wear this brooch, rather than the wealthy person who spent 1.6 million on it.

Of course, there are also cases where no deal is concluded after the final inquiry. This makes many women extremely disappointed, but they dare not reveal too much.

Jewelry is just an appetizer, with the highest transaction price being 310,000 pounds and the lowest being around 50,000 to 60,000 pounds. The really expensive items are those that men are interested in.

For example, the cross sword is said to be the sword used by the paladin in medieval church legends. After the paladin died, the sword was handed over to a certain patriarch of the church and kept in the church for blessing.

It is not known whether this kind of blessing is a blessing, an affirmation of the Paladin's achievements, or whether it is similar to the way Chinese monks chant sutras to the dead to save the souls on the sword.

In short, everyone in the room who came to the trade fair, except Yang Dongxu and even Toy, were extremely interested in this sword. The price of this sword quickly soared to 1.9 million pounds.

Under normal circumstances, such small trade fairs actually invite people from the circle, and it doesn't necessarily mean who knows whom. However, such a situation of competing for bids rarely occurs.

Basically, after one person asks the price, other people will laugh and look on if they don’t particularly want it. As for the owner who doesn’t bid for something, does he suffer a loss?

Of course, there is no loss, because the price he offers is the price he wants to sell at. If someone bids to sell more, he will naturally be happy, and he can accept it if he sells it at a slightly lower price.

For example, Luo Fu originally planned to buy this sword for 1 million pounds, which is already an extremely satisfactory price for him who is about to go bankrupt.

Unexpectedly, the price has now reached 1.9 million and has almost doubled. The smile on his happy face is almost crowded.

"Is this a particularly famous sword?" Yang Dongxu asked Troy in a low voice.

Even if the bidder is certain that this sword is indeed the sword worn by that paladin during his battles, it is not King Arthur's sword in the stone, or the sword of a particularly famous pope, it is just a paladin's sword.

There were only 8,000 paladins in the Vatican back then, right? After all, they formed an army for the Eastern Expedition back then. When the price was 1.2 million pounds, Yang Dongxu felt that the price was too high. Who would have thought that now the price has been increased to 1.9 million pounds.

"The great leader who blessed this sword finally lived to be 102 years old. And the paladin who originally used this sword was a knight of judgment who killed cultists and evil creatures.

Placing such a weapon at home can gather good luck, and can drive away the ghosts in the house and prevent the devil from getting close." Troy said, his eyes still staring at the cross sword even when talking to him.

Yang Dongxu was stunned when he heard this explanation, as if you foreigners could be so superstitious.

But if you think about it carefully, most foreigners believe in God, and isn’t God just God? It seems no different from the so-called superstitious worship of gods in China?

The shock on his face was probably more because this cross sword, which was supposed to have killed people, was regarded as a Feng Shui weapon by these foreigners.

It can gather luck and drive away evil spirits. What is this if it's not a Feng Shui instrument?

So foreigners also play Feng Shui?

"Is it really that powerful?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask one more question.

Feng Shui is a thing that you either believe in or not. In fact, sometimes there are some contradictions. For example, some things are indeed superstitious, which is not mentioned, but metaphysics seems to be a decent theory, and many superstitious things are based on metaphysics.

The extension, in short, is very complicated and contradictory. Anyway, no one can clearly explain it now.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You want it too?" Tuoyi turned his head and glanced at Yang Dongxu.

"No." Yang Dongxu shook his head. Even if he believed in this thing, he would still go back and search to see if there were any powerful Feng Shui instruments in his collection.

Instead of using this foreign devil's thing to see if it can change China's Feng Shui, kill Chinese evil spirits, etc. There are many ways to verify it, so there is no need to spend money to try it now. More importantly, even if you spend money to buy it,

After I went back, except for some comfort, no one could tell clearly whether I had used this thing or not.

So he didn't have much enthusiasm for buying, but he still asked casually, "Are you sure it's true?"

"When Luo Fu was going to hold this fair to sell his grandfather's collection, I asked someone to inquire. This sword is indeed at his house, and it must be the sword in front of me. There is a note next to the sword that Luo Fu has no guts to dare.

Use a fake one to deceive people." Troy said.

Yang Dongxu nodded, superstitious or not. He learned to read people from old man Xuan, but he still has some temperament, although the facial differences between foreigners and Chinese are a bit big.

However, the facial expressions, gazes, and normal behaviors are actually the same character traits that are revealed invisibly. Luo Fu seems to be the kind of person who enjoys himself and is not too bold. Such people may choose to commit suicide when they are in poverty.

, but I definitely don’t have the guts to commit murder and robbery.

At the same time, Luo Fu sold these assets in order to tide over the current difficulties and then see if he could make a comeback and restore the family's former glory. If he dared to deceive people with fake things, especially if he was someone who was very concerned about being seen as

A magic weapon is a tool for gathering luck and exorcising demons, so let alone making a comeback, I don’t know how he died.

People who can spend millions of pounds to buy a cross sword that has no function and beauty at most can comfort themselves in their hearts, and don't mind spending a little money to let Luo Fu go to see God.

"Luo Fu has this thing, so why did his family decline?" Yang Dongxu asked again without thinking.

"It's different, or he didn't enjoy the fate of the benefits brought by this thing. Ordinary people take a hundred dollars and think about what to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner for how many days, but a wise person will choose to use a hundred dollars

Earn an extra hundred dollars," Troy said.

Yang Dongxu glanced at Tuoyi speechlessly, and didn't know what to say for a moment. This explanation reminded him of some fortune tellers who read people's fortunes. In short, no matter what he said, he could always come back to his words.

If you tell me everything about the behavior of a virtuous man, what else does he have to say?

People are like this. They always feel that they are luckier and more capable than others. If he buys this sword, Troy's vision will be improved to a higher level, or maybe this sword will work.

If it remains the same without any improvement, then maybe you haven't absorbed the luck gathered by this sword, and you still need to work hard to play with it every day.

As for the sudden investment failure that caused the decline of a family like Luo Fu, it is probably because he wanted to forcibly absorb the luck of this sword, but it was backlashed by this sword.

In short, whatever you say is right, whatever you say makes sense.

So...just be happy!

Seeing that the people who were drinking and smoking cigars in harmony were blushing because of the sword, Yang Dongxu looked at Luo Fu's collection with a somewhat bored look.

He didn't like the Chinese porcelain. Foreigners didn't like jade. They liked gems and diamonds, so Luo Fu didn't have these things in his collection, so he set his sights on bronzes.

Many bronzes are covered with patina and come in different sizes and shapes, some of which are bizarre. For example, what many European artists like to do most is to use unclothed men or women to express their inner thoughts and a kind of artistic beauty.

.

This is true for oil paintings, some sculptures, and figure sculptures. For example, many of the angels depicted do not wear clothes. Do mortals still need to wear clothes?

Looking at Yang Dongxu, he paused for a moment. Among a group of dirty-looking bronze vessels, a dark thing was discarded in the corner.

At first glance, Yang Dongxu didn't see what it was because it was dumped on the ground. He kept turning his head to look at it from different angles. He saw the mouth of a short and thick bird's beak, which made him interested.

Snap!

He turned his head to look at it from another angle, and bumped into something. It was soft and elastic. After he accidentally bumped it, it swayed like an oversized jelly.
