The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era
Chapter 924: Private Trading Fair (Part 2)
The bearded man hesitated.
Luo Fu held his breath and waited for the result. The others continued to drink red wine and smoke cigars, and seemed not in a hurry to ask the price of what they liked. The women also tried to keep their movements and voices quiet. And many women looked at the female companion next to the bearded man with some envy.
But the envy can still be hidden now. If the bearded man can really take down the brooch and give it to his female companion, then many women's envy will definitely be revealed. Or it is not impossible to pass a note to the bearded man in private.
Rubbing the beard on his face, he hesitated for a moment. He seemed to feel the strange eyes of the women around him looking at him, and he who was still hesitating suddenly showed a free and easy smile.
"Okay, let's take this price. Although I can buy a larger sapphire for 150,000 pounds, the things that have been worn by the princess, or even the queen, are not comparable in size."
"You're very right." Holding his breath, Luo Fu was overjoyed, and almost knelt down to send the things over, letting the bearded man transfer the money immediately.
However, he still tried his best not to restrain the excitement in his heart, picked up the jewelry box and handed it to the bearded man himself. As for the transfer or cash, he can accept it.
But it is obviously not possible to transfer money now, this needs to go 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 America.
He took the check with both hands. Although he didn't hold it carefully for inspection, Luo Fu still confirmed the number on the check within an extremely short period of time, and then carefully put the check away.
As for the authenticity of the check, this is the least of your worries. He knew the identity of the bearded man. His family was in the real estate business, and he was also a member of the circle. If he dared to give a fake check, his reputation would be lost by more than 150,000 pounds.
With a big beard on the head, coupled with the fingers of the female companion beside him, they slide very gently on the body. Place the things in the quasi-guaranteed packing area, and people will ask the price frequently, and then the transaction will be made.
Just like what the bearded man said, this kind of historical content is definitely not something that can be measured by size. For example, you wear that brooch that has history and even been worn by the Queen to a dinner party.
Everyone will feel that you who wear this brooch are more stylish, not that the one who spent 1.6 million on the brooch is more of a local tyrant.
Of course, there were also cases where there was no deal after the final inquiry, which made many women feel extremely disappointed, but they dared not reveal too much.
Jewelry is just an appetizer. The highest transaction price is 310,000 pounds, and the lowest is about 50,000 to 60,000 pounds. The real expensive stuff is what men are interested in.
For example, the cross sword is said to be the saber used by the paladin in the medieval church legend. After the paladin died, the saber was handed over to a certain patriarch of the church and placed in the church for blessing.
As for whether this kind of blessing is a blessing, it is an affirmation of the Paladin's record. It is not known whether it is similar to the dead souls on the super sword that Huaxia monks chant sutras to the dead.
In short, all the people in the room who came to the trade fair, except Yang Dongxu and even Toy, were extremely interested in this sword, and the price of this sword quickly soared to 1.9 million pounds.
Under normal circumstances, such a small trade fair actually invites people in the circle, not to mention who must know each other, but such a situation of scrambling for bids rarely occurs.
Basically, after one person asks the price, other people will laugh and watch if they don't particularly want it. As for the owner who no one bids to sell things, does he lose money?
Of course, it is not a loss, because the price he offered is the price he wants to sell in his heart. It is natural to be happy if someone bids to sell more, and it is acceptable to sell it at a slightly lower price.
For example, Luo Fu originally planned to buy this sword for 1 million pounds, which was already an extremely satisfactory price for him who was about to go bankrupt.
Unexpectedly, the price has almost doubled to 1.9 million now, and the smiles on his happy face are almost crowded together.
"Is this a particularly famous sword?" Yang Dongxu asked Troy in a low voice.
Even if the bidders are sure that this sword is indeed the sword of some paladin when he was fighting, but this is not King Arthur's sword in the stone, or the sword of a particularly famous pope, it is just a paladin's sword.
Back then, there were not 10,000 paladins in the Holy See, but there were 8,000? After all, they formed an army back then, and Yang Dongxu felt that the price was inflated when it was 1.2 million pounds. Who would have thought that the price increase has now increased to 1.9 million pounds.
"The archbishop who blessed this sword lived to be 102 years old. And the paladin who used this sword at the beginning was a trial knight who killed cultists and evil creatures.
Keeping such a weapon in your home brings good luck and drives away ghosts from the house, keeping the devil out of reach. "Toy said, even if he was talking to him, his eyes were still fixed on the cross sword.
Yang Dongxu was dumbfounded when he heard this explanation, as if you foreigners are so superstitious.
But if you think about it carefully, most foreigners believe in God, and isn’t God God? Doesn't seem to be any different from China's so-called superstitious worship of gods?
The astonishment on his face is probably more because this cross sword, which should have killed people, is somewhat regarded by these foreigners as a feng shui magic weapon.
It can gather luck and drive away evil spirits. What is this but a feng shui magic weapon?
So foreigners also practice Feng Shui?
"Is it really that powerful?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking.
Believe in Feng Shui, believe it or not, he actually sometimes has some contradictions, for example, some things are indeed superstitious, but metaphysics seems to be a decent theory, and many superstitious things are based on metaphysics In short, the extension is very complicated and contradictory. Anyway, no one can clearly say one or three now.
"You want it too?" Troy turned to look at Yang Dongxu.
"No." Yang Dongxu shook his head. Even if he believed in this thing, he would go back and search to see if there was any powerful Feng Shui magic weapon in his collection.
Instead of using this foreign devil's stuff to see if it can change China's feng shui, kill China's evil spirits and so on. I really want to verify that there are many methods, so there is no need to spend money to try it now. More importantly, even if you spend money to buy it back, except for a little comfort, no one can tell clearly whether it is useful 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 about it. This sword is indeed in his house, and it must be the sword in front of him. There is a note next to the sword. Luo Fu has no courage to dare Use a fake one to deceive people," Toy said.
Yang Dongxu nodded, regardless of superstition or not. He learned how to look at people from old man Xuan. He is still a bit hot, although there is a big difference between the faces of foreigners and Chinese.
But the facial expression and gaze, as well as the usual behavior, the character traits shown invisibly are actually similar. Luo Fu looked like the kind of person who enjoys pleasure and is not too bold. Such a person may choose to commit suicide when he is poor, but he definitely has no courage to kill and rob.
At the same time, Luo Fu sold these family properties in order to overcome the current difficulties, and then see if he can make a comeback and restore the family's former glory. A magic weapon is something that gathers luck and exorcises demons, so let alone a comeback, he doesn't know how he died.
People who can spend millions of pounds to buy a cross sword that is nothing but beautiful and at most comforting in their hearts, don't care about spending a little more 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 not the same, or he didn't enjoy the fate of the benefits brought by this thing. Ordinary people hold a hundred dollars and think about what to eat in the morning and evening for how many days, but people with brains will choose to spend a hundred dollars Make a hundred more dollars," Troy began.
Yang Dongxu glanced at Toy speechlessly, not knowing what to say for a moment. This kind of explanation made him think of some quack physicists who look at people, in short, no matter what he says, he can always get it back.
You said all the words about 'the behavior of a virtuous man', what else can he say?
This is how people always feel that they are less fortunate and capable than others. If you buy this sword and go back, Toy's vision will be improved, or this sword has played a role.
If there is no improvement in the plain, it may be that I have not absorbed the luck gathered by this sword, and I still need to work hard to play with it every day.
As for the sudden failure of investment and the decline of a family like Luo Fu, it is estimated that when he wanted to forcibly absorb the luck of this sword, he was backlashed by this sword.
In short, how to say what is right, how to say how to make sense.
So... you are happy!
Looking at the people who were drinking and smoking cigars in harmony, their faces were flushed because of the sword, Yang Dongxu looked at Luo Fu's collection with bored eyes.
He didn't like those Chinese porcelains. Foreigners don't like jades. They like gems and diamonds, so there are no such things in Luo Fu's collection, so he set his sights on bronzes.
Many bronze wares are covered with verdigris, in different sizes and shapes, and some of them are weird. For example, the favorite thing for many artists in Europe is to use men or women without clothes to express their inner thoughts and artistic beauty.
Oil paintings are like this, some sculptures are like this, and figure sculptures are also like this. For example, many portrayed angel images are not wearing clothes. Ordinary people still need to wear clothes?
Looking at Yang Dongxu's gaze paused, in the corner of a group of dirty looking bronzes, a piece of black lacquer was discarded in the corner.
Yang Dongxu didn't see what it was at first glance, because it was dumped on the ground, and he kept turning his head to look at it from different angles. He saw a mouth with a short and thick beak, which aroused his interest.
Slap!
Turning his head to look at him from another angle, he bumped into something, which was soft and elastic. After being hit by him inadvertently, it trembled like a huge jelly.
