Chapter 1916 Asking prices all over the sky, repaying the money on the spot

Edison stretched out a finger and smiled slightly.

Yang Fei was not good at speculating on his own. After all, the other party knew that this Buddha statue was the most precious among all antiques. What if the other party spoke up? Or his quotation was far higher than the other party’s expectations?

So, Yang Fei just looked at Appison and did not take the initiative to say the price.

Edison said: "Ten million!"

Yang Fei frowned and said, "Is RMB?"

Edison laughed and said, "Of course it's the euro, the US dollar is also fine, the exchange rate is almost the same!"

Yang Fei said: "It's too expensive. Mr. Edison, this Buddha statue is just carved from wood and is not worth that much money."

"I know it's carved from wood! But it's painted and covered with gold powder, this is a golden Buddha."

Yang Fei said: "If it was made of pure gold, I would buy it for 10 million euros without hesitation. 10 million euros. According to the current gold price, I can buy more than 2,000 kilograms of gold! It can create more than a dozen pure gold statues of this size."

He knew that Edison did not understand antiques, but only recognized gold and money!

So, he deliberately used gold prices to compare.

The price of gold around 2000 was indeed very cheap, seventy or eighty yuan per gram.

But this cheapness is compared to the gold price twenty years later.

The labor was low at that time, and if you think about it this way, the gold price at that time was not cheap either.

Edison thought for a while and agreed. Maybe he really wanted to promote the deal, or maybe these so-called antiques really took up space for him. So he asked Yang Fei: "Mr. Yang, how much do you think it is worth?"

Yang Fei said: "I bought a precious cultural relic at Christie's auction in New York not long ago. It was an antique from my country more than 3,600 years ago. I only spent $9.5 million. At that auction, there was also a Buddha statue in auction, which was also gilded, bigger than this one, but only sold for one million dollars. If Mr. Edison agreed, I would be willing to buy this Buddha statue for one million dollars."

"One million?" Edison obviously felt the price was low, "You have to know that this is the most valuable treasure in the antique room!"

Yang Fei smiled and said, "It's hard to say the value of antiques. If you like it, you can pay a high price for it. If you don't like it, it's not worth that much money. The bronze ware I bought before is actually not very expensive. The bronze ware that is about one or two million dollars only auctioned. But I like it, and I'm willing to pay a higher price for it. Just like you like Alice, you think she is a priceless treasure, and you're willing to pay a higher price for her."

Edison said: "Mr. Yang, you also like this Buddha statue! Should you be able to pay a higher price for it?"

Yang Fei shook his head and said, "No, I just heard Alice say that this Buddha statue is very unlucky. She saw it open her eyes, and then a few people died in the fort that night. That's why I wanted to invite it back to my country. I'm helping you."

Edison glanced at Alice.

Alice said coquettishly: "Adison, sell it! We are really afraid of it! You have so many antiques, what does it matter if you have one less?"

"One million euros? That's really too low."

Alice said: "It's not a million, sell it! This kind of antique is something that most people don't like. It's rare that Mr. Yang is willing to buy it, so you can sell it to him! I think it's not good to stay in the fort, and it feels not good."

Edison said: "Okay, one million euros, the deal is completed! This Buddha statue belongs to you!"

Yang Fei smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Edison. I came in a hurry today and didn't bring so much money. I'll come again tomorrow and complete the transaction!"

Edison said: "Yes. Mr. Yang, do you not even look down on other antiques?"

Yang Fei said: "The future is long, and I think we still have the opportunity to cooperate."

Edison suddenly said, "Mr. Yang, have we met? I think you are very familiar with each other."

Yang Fei thought to himself that the oil fields and refineries he invested in Africa were once within the management of Edison. If the other party remembered that he had invested a huge amount of investment in an oil refinery, then things would be in trouble.

So, Yang Fei smiled and said, "Shame, I often make a name for myself in various news. Maybe Mr. Edison has read my related reports?"

Edison didn't think much about it. In fact, when he was in Africa, all the investments were also responsible for Evelica and others. He was not good at managing them, so he couldn't remember where he had invested.

Yang Fei's explanation is also very reasonable.

Edison smiled and said, "I'm very happy to meet the richest Chinese!"

Yang Fei said: "I dare not be the richest man in China. There are many people in the Chinese world who are richer than me."

This time, Yang Fei and the others didn't stay for long, so they politely declined the banquet from Edison and went down the mountain.

Back to the B&B.

Yang Fei, Fu Heng and others had another small meeting.

Fu Heng said: "Eighty percent of the antiques in the castle are from our country!"

Wang Yuanzhi sighed: "The former owner of this castle probably snatched a ship of antiques from our country!"

Yang Fei said: "It will be easier for us to date Edison to enter the castle again."

Fu Heng said: "But they already know us, and if we act, they will easily be discovered."

Yang Fei said: "Our actions do not have to enter through the main entrance. Instead, we walk into the sewer."

Hu Xuanlin said: "I have investigated today. There is a sewer exit near the basement of the castle. If you go up there, you only need to walk thirty meters into the basement."

Yang Fei said: "The basement is full of mechanisms, can you get in?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "When Alice took us in, there were three floors of access control in the basement. You definitely didn't need to think about the keys. We couldn't get them. We could only think of other ways to enter."

Yang Fei said: "Is there a sewer in the basement?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "No."

Li Juan said: "Or, we can directly get a passage from the appropriate location of the sewer to the basement of the castle, and transport the antiques away without any idea?"

Yang Fei said: "Is this? Is it feasible? It takes a long time to hit the tunnel."

Hu Xuanlin pinched his fingers and said, "It is fifty meters away from the nearest basement. I don't know if the basement floor has been specially treated. If so, it will be even more difficult."

Yang Fei said: "This plan is not possible. It is too difficult to hollow out under their noses at a distance of fifty meters, and it is very likely to be in vain, because the basement of this kind of castle must be very deep and the hardening of the ground will be very strong. If you work hard to dig it up and fail to break into the wall, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Hu Xuanlin said: "I have to find a way to break the access control in the basement!"

Li Juan said: "If this is done, the risk factor is higher. And how can we transport so many antiques? There are thirty meters away from the basement gate to the sewer entrance! There are guards patrolling nearby!"
