Old Hans' suggestion really made Zhu Yu a little excited.

So he and Hans discussed the time, took Ran Jie and Qin Fei, and went to Hans's house, ignoring Cao Dalong's "resentful" look.

Hans's home was a duplex in a high-rise building in New York. Zhu Yu looked over and felt that the area was more than two hundred square meters.

After ringing the doorbell, Hans looked through the peephole first, then opened the door and let Zhu Yu and the others in with smiles on his face.

"Mr. Zhu, what would you like to drink?" Hans said enthusiastically.

"No, let's show us things first." Zhu Yu glanced at Hans' room and couldn't help but feel excited!

This Hans really has something good, hidden deep inside!

Seeing that Zhu Yu was anxious, Hans didn't give in and signaled Ran Jie and Qin Fei to stay. He took Zhu Yu to his collection room.

A black servant came over to pour coffee for Ran Jie and Qin Fei.

There were not only Hans and the black servant in the room, but also a woman in camouflage uniform sitting over the restaurant, looking at something unknown.

The woman only showed the side of her face. She looked very beautiful, almost in her twenties, and looked a bit like an Eastern European Caucasian. Her hair was tied up, revealing her snow-white neck.

Zhu Yu just glanced at it. He saw that the woman was carrying a gun, and thought that she might be Hans' bodyguard.

This old man is quite playful!

Hans didn't know what Zhu Yu thought of him. He led Zhu Yu to a locked door, took out the key and said:

"In the early years, I collected a lot of good things, but just for this treasure hunting trip, I sold most of them that were valuable."

It can be seen that Hans is also somewhat reluctant to part with the collections he sold.

Opening the door, Zhu Yu suddenly discovered that the room had constant temperature and humidity, and there were three rows of shelves inside, each row of shelves divided into three layers.

But now many places on the shelves are empty, and obviously the money has been exchanged, as Hans said.

Zhu Yu went in and took a look, and found that there were a few good Chinese antiques left inside.

"Mr. Zhu, what do you think of this blue and white porcelain vase? Experts have identified it and it is from your Yuan Dynasty, which is the most popular era of blue and white porcelain."

Hans pointed to a blue and white plum vase and introduced it to Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu shook his head, his target was obviously not this thing.

Although this blue and white flower is expensive, it is obviously a result of speculation. Let’s just wait until the big wave subsides.

"So, how about these two enamel six-sided vases? It is said that they were officially made during the period of your ancient Chinese emperor named Qianlong. They are very exquisite and very rare!"

Hans introduced it very enthusiastically, and he did introduce some relatively valuable things.

But looking at the gaudy color, Zhu Yu still couldn't get the beauty of this thing.

Seeing Zhu Yu shaking his head, Hans was not discouraged and continued to introduce:

"How about this porcelain bowl from your ancient period called the Ming Dynasty? No? Then you should like this one. It is a very old bronze, very rare..."

Hans is referring to a component of a small chime.

Zhu Yu still shook his head.

Hans introduced a few more things, and finally said regretfully:

"Zhu, you have already seen all the collections related to China in my collection room. Don't you like any of them?"

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

"Mr. Hans, I don't think you only want these things? After so many years of collecting, you must have other things that you haven't taken out. What I hope to see is your sincerity!"

Hans said seriously:

"Zhu, I asked someone to appraise these things, and they are definitely valuable. As for other things, of course I have them too.

But some of those things have not been authenticated, and I cannot guarantee their authenticity. And most of them have no origin, or the origin cannot be said, and are not valuable. I don't think you can appreciate them."

"Let's see and then talk." Zhu Yu was noncommittal.

Hans asked Zhu Yu for help, so he naturally had no objection.

The two people exited the door. After Hans locked the door, he took Zhu Yu to another room.

This room is more casual. Although it is locked, the door is obviously not anti-theft. When it is opened, there is no constant temperature and humidity equipment inside, and a musty smell comes out.

There are also a few shelves here, but the things on the shelves are arranged very casually. Although it is not a mess, some things have not been processed. To use a jargon, the things brought out of the pit are just thrown here.

Those weird smells mixed together, it was indescribably unpleasant.

Hans also waited for the smell to dissipate before taking Zhu Yu in. After entering, he immediately opened the window.

Qin Fei asked Ran Jie quietly:

"Isn't the boss optimistic?"

Ran Jie is not worried at all:

"Don't worry so much, the boss has his own decision."

After following Zhu Yu for so long, Ran Jie has basically never seen Zhu Yu fail.

Naturally, he and Jason also talked about Zhu Yu's experience. A Chinese man who came to the United States alone, killed people, engaged in gun battles, and single-handedly fought for such a huge success was enough for him to admire.

Qin Fei stopped talking, but his peripheral vision was always on that beautiful woman.

He seemed to smell the same kind of scent.

Zhu Yu glanced at it and his heart beat loudly.

"If you want to choose, pick five things to take away. But if you find a treasure, your share will be reduced."

"Five?" Zhu Yu stepped forward and grabbed a rusty iron sword and said, "Can ten of these things, not to mention five, make up for one part of the treasure?"

The iron sword had rusted into rust pimples, and Hans smiled awkwardly when he saw it.

It is true that he is a collector, but he is not the kind who does archeology firsthand.

The things that came into his hands were basically appraised and processed, just like the things in the previous collection room.

For example, the iron lump on Zhu Yu's hand was obviously an antique, but before cleaning it, he didn't know its value. Hans didn't know whether it was worn by a celebrity, whether there were words on it, whether it was passed down, etc.

"These things were mortgaged to me by one of my trading partners who went bankrupt due to insufficient funds and poor liquidity. Some of these things were collected by him, and some were sold to him by others.

Mr. Zhu, let me tell you the truth, I don’t know the value of these things. I don’t even think how much these things are worth.

Therefore, I advise you that it is better to choose a few things from the collection room I just put in. I make the decision, how about you choose three things?"

After Zhu Yu heard Hans' words, he understood immediately.

I don't know if Old Hans is honest in his heart and really wants Zhu Yu to help him hunt for treasure, or if he has bet all his treasure on this treasure hunt for the last time, so he no longer cares about these things.

Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:

"I want all of these things. As for looking for treasures, I will do my best. I only need 30% of what I find. How about that?"

Hans didn't expect that Zhu Yu would make such a suggestion!

He thought about Zhu Yu's experience he had investigated and shook his head.

At first, he thought Zhu Yu could see that he had something good here.

But Zhu Yu had never been exposed to archeology or collection, either through family inheritance or later experience.

Even though I made some money by bidding on containers at the port, I unearthed a lot of treasures later in my treasure hunt.

But this does not prove that he knows how to identify cultural relics.

So, is he really helping himself, or is he just a gambler?

But no matter what, Hans calculated in his mind that this actually far exceeded his psychological expectations!

In Hans' opinion, any two things in the collection room next door are worth more than everything here!

After all, he was trying to get these things back from his trading partners with the intention of losing as little as possible.

The total price his friends discounted for these things was only one million US dollars.

Even so, Hans knew that his friend had inflated the price.

In this way, you can get back 20% of the treasure?

Make a lot of money!

Hans glanced at Zhu Yu again and found that his eyes were burning with fire. He was a gambler!

"Deal!" Hans suddenly said, "In that case, let's sign an agreement?"

"Okay, as you wish." Although Zhu Yu was a little reluctant to give up, at this time, he had to stay calm!

Therefore, Zhu Yu took the lead and walked out of the house without any nostalgia. On the contrary, it dispelled Hans's last suspicion.

The agreement templates were all prepared. I modified the clauses inside and printed them out in duplicate. Zhu Yu read them carefully and then signed them.

Hans also signed and handed one copy to Zhu Yu and said:

"Mr. Zhu, happy cooperation!"

“A pleasure to work with!”
