This is a very tall middle-aged man, about 2 meters tall, wearing formal clothes and looking very formal.
"Hello Mr. Zhang," a tall man stretched out his hand at the gate of the farm's cowshed area and introduced himself, "My name is Duke Goss. I come from Florida and work for the Gripen Salvage Foundation. . "
Because the other party came uninvited and Barbie didn't let him in, Duke Goss naturally didn't dare to force his way in, as he would really be beaten to death.
"Hello Mr. Duke," Zhang Jing reached out and shook hands with the other person, "Is something okay?"
"I express my deepest sympathies to you and your team for the shipwreck in the Caribbean."
Zhang Jing was speechless. He always expressed his deep sympathy to others and said politely: "Thank you also for making a stumbling block in the Panama Canal. Otherwise, the Centaur would not have detoured, and perhaps the accident would not have occurred."
"There is no right or wrong in this matter," Duke Goss realized without any embarrassment. "The Gripen Salvage Foundation wants to purchase the sculptures from the Centaur sunken ship. "
"Not for sale!"
The sculpture is in the Mithril space. The reason why Jamie, Feilai, and Zheng Muchao were sent to rent a boat seemed to be to salvage the sculpture in the Centaur. In fact, it was to put pressure on the Gripen Salvage Foundation and force them to take the initiative to find it. , and then spend money to buy the Sunken Sea sculpture.
As the first discoverer, Zhang Jing has complete control over those sculptures, unless someone can prove that he is a descendant of the owner of the sculptures. However, 270 years have passed, and World War 1 and 2 have experienced great chaos and death. High probability event.
Wanting to sell, Zhang Jing said, "I will salvage the sculptures again and send them to Xiangjiang."
"Mr. Zhang," Duke Goss advised, "those things are not worth your efforts to salvage for the second time. Why not sell them to us."
Zhang Jing chuckled, "Do you think I look like someone who is short of money? I salvage those sculptures not for money, but for art!"
In fact, Zhang Jing is just for money, and Duke Goss also knows that bullshit art is just to sell more points.
"Everything has a price," Duke Goss said, "Please give me a price."
The tall man's words reminded Zhang Jing of "Yellowstone". In the play, the farmer's daughter goes to buy other people's land, but they refuse to sell it. She also looks like she is not short of money, and she coaxes, "Everything is available." Please quote the price."
The landowner couldn't bear the woman's annoyance, so he casually quoted a double price. The farmer's daughter immediately wrote a check, paid the money, and drove the original farmer away on the spot.
Now it was Zhang Jing's turn to have such a good thing. He also looked impatient and quoted casually, "9.99999 million yuan."
The total value of those sculptures was about 4 million. Zhang Jing was not good at math, so he quoted double the price.
I hope the big man can directly write the check, and then let Zhang Jing experience the joy of rolling away immediately.
However, Duke Goss did not follow the routine or follow the plot, and counter-offered: "They are not worth so much, let alone sinking in a depth of more than 2,000 meters."
One sentence irritated Zhang Jing. He was already prepared to be showered with money, but in the end he got nothing. He became a little bit angry and rudely cursed, "Why are you pretending to have no money?"
Duke Goss didn't expect Zhang Jing to be so wild and turned around to make a phone call.
After a while, Duke Goss ended the call, walked up to Zhang Jing and said, "The deal is done at the price you said."
"Wow," Zhang Jing said bluntly with his brows twitching, "There's really a big grievance here."
Duke Goss was so angry that he was scolded for spending money, but he still had to buy the things.
"By the way," Zhang Jing suddenly thought of something, "Mr. Mike is not at the farm. He rented the boat, so he cannot sign the transaction agreement for the time being."
Duke Goss thought that Zhang Jing was going to raise the price, so he reminded: "We know that Mr. Mike is your employee, so your signature will have legal effect."
Zhang Jing had no right to sign on Mike's behalf. He didn't want to be fooled or leave any trace behind. He didn't want to face endless lawsuits. He insisted: "Mike is on a business trip and he will be back soon."
In order to reassure Duke Goss, Zhang Jing took the initiative to make an agreement
He said, "I'll meet you at the airport tomorrow at noon. We'll sign and pay then."
Unable to force Zhang Jing with a knife, Duke Goss drove away.
Watching the guests drive away, Zhang Jing called Mike and told him to fly back from Bangzi immediately. Then he called Jamie and gave up renting a salvage boat and rented a yacht instead. He drove to the sinking site of the Centaur and waited for Zhang Jing to go on vacation. .
A small party was held in the evening to celebrate Katie's return.
The next day Zhang Jing drove three hours to the airport and found Duke Goss in the parking lot.
Seeing Zhang Jing, Duke Goss felt relieved. He was worried that Zhang Jing would raise the price or go back on his word. Fortunately, none of this happened. .c
It would take another hour for Mike to land. He didn't rush in, enjoying the cool breeze. Zhang Jing leaned on the hood of the car, folded his arms, and asked pretending to be curious, "Mr. Duke, I've been thinking hard all night, but I still don't understand why you If you are willing to spend money, those sculptures are obviously not worth it, let alone deep-sea salvage.”
"There are people like you who love art and they don't care about money."
Zhang Jing vomited, thinking of a certain father who didn't love money. He obviously loved money as much as his life, but he still pretended to be evil.
An hour later, Mike landed on time. Duke Goss prepared an agreement in advance. Zhang Jing read every word and deleted anything he couldn't understand and deleted if it felt like a trap.
One of them was a special trap. It was stipulated that no items from the sunken ship of the Gripen were allowed to be taken away, and whatever was taken must be handed over.
Zhang Jing crossed out all of them, leaving only half a page of the three-page agreement, all of which were favorable to Zhang Jing.
Looking at the agreement with only half a page left, Duke Goss couldn't bear it and complained to Zhang Jing, "What does this mean?"
"There's too much content that I can't understand," Zhang Jing refused to discuss it with him. "Sign it if you can, otherwise everyone will go back to their own homes and find their own mothers."
Zhang Jing was acting like a gangster. Duke Goss couldn't decide and called again.
Three or four minutes later, Duke Goss came back and asked to add two items to the agreement. Zhang Jing refused to discuss it at all and forcefully refused: "I can't add even one word. I'll give you one last chance to call."
"Mr. Zhang, all my requests are reasonable. Your refusal is unreasonable," Duke Goss, who is over 2 meters tall, looked at Zhang Jing's eyes in confusion, "What are you worried about?"
"What are you worried about?" Zhang Jing murmured to himself and shook his head, "If you want to buy it or not, think about how you surrounded the Half-Man in the Caribbean. It's inhumane."
Duke Goss called again and conveyed Zhang Jing's dissatisfaction to his boss.
This time Duke Goss received a positive reply and accepted Zhang Jing’s significantly reduced content of the agreement.
The back is simple, the agreement is reprinted in duplicate, Mike signs the agreement, and Duke Goss signs on behalf of the Salvage Foundation.
Finally, payment is made and the agreement is exchanged.
