Chapter 136: Opportunity to Take Advantage (3)
Nozawa Fumio was furious: "Shameless! For such a small amount of gold, you actually need four gold bars. For this little gold, only fifty yuan is enough! You are blackmailing!!"
Meier's face was very ugly. He had charged Leng Feng twenty times the price. So, was this shamelessness and blackmail directed at him?
Leng Feng squinted at him: "Your Excellency, Consul, please be careful. Measuring the value of a necklace based on the weight of gold is something only a very stupid and vulgar person can do. I believe Consul Meier has a good vision.
The workmanship, the carving, and every pattern must have been carved overnight by the best craftsmen. This is art and a handicraft. How can it be measured by weight! Your Excellency, the Consul, has too little taste."
Meier's face finally looked better and recovered a little bit: "Yes, I found the best goldsmith to make it. The labor cost is much more valuable than this little gold."
Leng Feng turned to Bernstein: "Mr. Bernstein, I heard that what you gave me is a diamond necklace?"
Bernstein nodded calmly.
Leng Feng looked at Fumio Nozawa: "The composition of diamonds is actually charcoal. Could it be said that Mr. Bernstein's necklace is only worth the price of a piece of charcoal? It is also charcoal, but diamonds have gone through the movement of the earth's crust and experienced countless years.
Only then can a diamond last forever, and a good story will be passed down forever. Am I right? Your Excellency, Consul?"
"A diamond that lasts forever? Oh, that's right, yes!" Bernstein was stunned and immediately smiled: "Of course, this diamond is not comparable to black coal. His Excellency Fumio Nozawa,
You are rude"
Nozawa Fumio's hands were shaking with anger. He looked at the necklace in Leng Feng's hand and gritted his teeth: "Yo Xi! Just four!" After that, he turned around and left. A moment later, he came back with a wooden box.
"Take it!" Nozawa Fumio gritted his teeth and pushed the wooden box in front of Leng Feng. Leng Feng also pushed the necklace box towards Nozawa Fumio.
Opening the box, well, four large yellow croakers were lying quietly inside. Not bad, not only did I not lose money, I also made a profit.
Putting away the necklace, Nozawa Fumio felt so sick no matter what he thought.
At this time, Bernstein asked Meier: "So, Meier, what are you going to give?"
Meyer snorted: "Why should I tell you?"
Bernstein said in a show-off manner: "Oh, I'm just asking politely. So, I guess, Mr. Deputy Director, you want to see that diamond?"
Hmm? What does it have to do with me? I don’t want to see it. There is nothing to see, and it’s not for me! Leng Feng thought.
"Ah? Oh, I don't want to." Leng Feng didn't give any face, but Nozawa Fumio came out to take the plate: "If I have this honor, I want to see it."
This is the feeling I want! Bernstein took the box out of his briefcase very proudly and opened it.
Wow! This diamond is indeed not small! Just thinking about it makes me feel tired hanging this kind of necklace around my neck, so Leng Feng looked as if he didn't feel anything, but Fumio Nozawa next to him used all his exaggerated and extremely flattering words.
Come to praise this diamond, which made Bernstein particularly happy, and also made Meyer look livid.
Nozawa Fumio placed the gold necklace next to the diamond necklace, which made it look even more shabby and made Bernstein even more proud.
No, if this continues, Bernstein will become closer to Nozawa Fumio, and his case will become even more difficult to handle. As for Meyer? Forget it, the city is so shallow that it is difficult to achieve anything big. Even if you can find a breakthrough from him,
It's also easy to expose. If you want to find those people, you have to start with Bernstein.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Leng Feng. However, this plan was too bold and risky. If it succeeded, a storm would be coming. If he were not careful, he would be doomed!
"The dance will start in half an hour, let's go get ready," Bernstein said.
Meier was very unhappy. After Fumio Nozawa gave Leng Feng a fierce look, he turned and left. There was no time for Leng Feng to think about it and he quickly said: "Consul Meier, I think it is necessary for you to give the gift in advance."
Give it to the Consul’s wife, because all gifts will be dimmed by the light of this diamond.”
Nozawa Fumio hesitated, wondering what he was thinking, and left quickly.
Meier sighed: "I'm really unwilling."
Leng Feng handed a gold bar to Meier: "There is an old saying in China, you get half the money when you meet. Today I am a white wolf with nothing."
Before Meyer could react, Bita immediately took over: "Oh, Mr. Deputy Director, you are such a gentleman!"
If I read it correctly, the two boxes containing the necklaces look similar. They should have been bought in the same store. Leng Feng took this into consideration and encouraged Meier to go to the consul's wife in advance to deliver the gift.
Since he has short hands, Meier also thought Leng Feng’s proposal was very good, so he said: “Okay, I’ll go visit the consul’s wife right away.”
Leng Feng: "Go ahead. According to the regulations, I am not qualified to see the consul's wife."
Bita held Leng Feng's arm: "Don't worry, Deputy Director, she is just the consul's wife, not the consul general, and she has not crossed the line."
Meier prepared for a while, picked up the mounted landscape painting sealed in paper, and took Bita and Leng Feng to the room where the Consul General's wife rested.
By coincidence, Nozawa Fumio happened to come out from inside.
Coincidence?! How could it be a coincidence? What Leng Feng just said was meant for Nozawa Fumio! Unless Nozawa Fumio is willing to use the gold necklace exchanged for four gold bars as a foil that is not even a green leaf, otherwise he will definitely take the first step
Show your kindness to the consul's wife.
Without further ado! Leng Feng poked Meier, who immediately knocked on the door. The servant opened the door, and the consul's wife was gesturing at the gold necklace in the mirror.
"Oh? Vice Consul Meyer, Ms. Bita, oh? The person next to me looks very unfamiliar." She is a graceful and luxurious woman.
Meier put his hands on his chest and bowed: "Beautiful lady, please allow me to give you my highest praise."
The consul's wife covered her mouth: "Oh, thank you so much. What can I do? If there is nothing urgent, I think I need to prepare for the dance later."
Meier immediately said: "Of course, this is my gift to you. A Chinese landscape painting, you will definitely not find it in Germany."
The consul's wife was in a bad mood: "Okay, thank you for your gift, I like it very much."
I liked it so much that I liked it without even looking at it. Western politeness was so boring. Leng Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Who is this?"
Meier introduced: "His Excellency, the deputy director of the Peking Police Department, I asked him to carefully select this landscape painting for me."
This lie comes out of the mouth, who picked it for you? You can choose it yourself! Don’t push it on me! I don’t even know what I’m painting!!
"Thank you, Mr. Deputy Director." The consul's wife was even more depressed. Leng Feng said, "Consul Meier is so flattering. Compared with Mr. Bernstein's diamond necklace, I really don't deserve it."
At the mention of Bernstein, Meier froze obviously. Why are you mentioning him? You are sick!
"Diamond necklace?" The consul's wife became interested. Leng Feng covered his mouth: "Oh, I'm sorry, it was supposed to be a surprise. It's my fault for letting the news slip. I hope Consul Bernstein won't blame me."
Meyer said in his heart, he doesn’t blame you, I will!!!!
"Meier, is it true?" the consul's wife asked Meyer, who was full of bitterness: "Oh, yes, I have seen it. It is a very... very beautiful diamond necklace. The diamond is very big and very beautiful."
Dazzling"
Meier was desperate. It was useless to belittle the diamond necklace at this moment, but it would make people disgusted. Meier had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Bita? Is it true?"
Bita: "Yes, very beautiful" Bita curled her lips.
The consul's wife put down the gold necklace in her hand and said: "Meier, thank you for your painting. I like it very much. Thank you. I think I have to change my clothes."
This was an eviction order. After Meier and his party came out, Meier complained: "Your Majesty, Deputy Director, why did you do this!"
Leng Feng shrugged: "She doesn't like the painting you gave her anyway, and Madam seemed to like that necklace just now. I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable, so..."
Meier snorted and took the first step. Bita still held Leng Feng's arm: "Your Excellency, Deputy Director, can you ask me to dance later?"
Leng Feng smiled: "It's a great honor."
Bernstein couldn't let the necklace just sit in the box. The box was too small and not shiny enough, so he asked someone to prepare a tray, put the diamond necklace on the tray, covered it with a red cloth, and his secretary held it with his own hands.
Next to him is Fumio Nozawa, the Japanese consul.
Leng Feng was held by Bita's arm and passed by pretending to be casual.
Soon, the consul's wife and the consul general came to the middle of the stage. After a series of speeches, they were about to announce the start of the dance. Leng Feng never separated from Bita, standing in the middle of the crowd.
"Consul Bernstein, I would like to give a gift to the beautiful and distinguished Mrs. Walter," the master of ceremonies said.
Bernstein took the tray from the secretary and came to the middle of the stage: "Please allow me to give this gift to the most beautiful woman in the world." He kissed Mrs. Walter's hand.
At the moment when everyone was watching, Bernstein opened the red cloth and the diamond necklace! It disappeared!!!
"Are you kidding me?! Bernstein!" Walter, Ms. Hill was furious. This is a public humiliation!
Bernstein glared at the secretary, who looked innocent and looked around for fear that he had dropped it on the ground.
At this time, seeing that it couldn't end, Consul General Walter came over and announced: "The play is over. It seems that our little secretary lost the props. Bernstein, okay, the dance begins!"
Immediately, everyone attending the meeting tacitly started dancing according to the partners they had found long ago, and Leng Feng was no exception, dancing with Bita.
In the living room on the first floor, Bernstein angrily asked the secretary where the necklace had gone. The secretary's face turned red and turned purple, and he had no words to explain.
Consul Walter said with a cold face: "Mr. Bernstein, I hope you won't play tricks on me. Believe me, I will let you go back to Germany. If you don't have any necklace at all but want to show off, you'd better tell the truth."
Bernstein: "Your Excellency, Consul! I'm not lying, oh my God, I swear."
Mrs. Walter: "Meier has seen it. You can ask Meier to come in."
Then Meier was called in, and Walter asked: "Meier, does Bernstein really have a diamond necklace?"
Meyer was speechless for a moment. If he said no, then... wouldn't his opportunity come? But if he said no, then Fumio Nozawa and Leng Feng next to him knew that there was, so wouldn't he be shooting himself in the face?
feet?
After thinking for a while, Meier said: "Yes, I swear, I have seen it, but I don't know... what happened."
Walter looked at him: "Has anyone else seen it?"
Sure enough, Walter didn't just believe Meyer's words. Mrs. Walter said: "Bita has also seen it, and there is also a deputy director of the Huaxia Police Department."
Walter frowned: "Deputy Director of China, what is he doing here, who invited him here!"
Bernstein had beads of sweat rolling down his head and did not dare to open his mouth and say that he was the one who asked her to come.
Mrs. Walter: "It was the Chinese landscape paintings that Meier asked the deputy director to help him select. I think Meier also invited them."
Meier smiled back, and Bernstein breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
