After Lu Qingliu’s explanation, Franco Li finally understood what the wrongdoer meant.
His face straightened and he said seriously: "I'm sorry Song Yuan, but I didn't lie to you."
"Did you know that some scientists estimate that the total weight of asteroids that visit the Earth every day can reach about 50,000 tons."
"But only a few of them eventually reach the ground. Most of them will be broken and burned in the friction with the atmosphere, and will eventually be consumed. Only a very small number can reach the surface of the earth as extremely small unburned bodies."
"And finding it is not an easy thing. It requires courage, courage and a little bit of luck..."
His theory is probably that things are rare and valuable, which means that this meteorite weighing more than four kilograms is not very common on the earth.
It costs you 300 US dollars per gram, and the total price is more than one million US dollars, which is not very expensive.
Tang Songyuan thought about the fact that he had made a mistake and missed the first meteorite, so he stopped worrying too much.
He immediately said: "Okay, Franco Lee, $1 million...what do you think?"
Franco Li glanced at Lu Qingliu with some confusion, and the latter gave him a confused look.
"Oh, Song Yuan, you bargained too hard..." He said in anger or complaint:
"This is an iron meteorite with a clear origin. You must know that the average price of ordinary stony iron meteorites is US$500 per gram."
Tang Songyuan twitched his lips, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, Franco Li... I'll do as you say!"
Haggling is an instinctive reaction, just in case it succeeds.
Franco Li smiled happily, stretched out his hand, and told him a happy transaction.
When shaking hands with him, Tang Songyuan discovered a problem.
It seems that I only have more than 10,000 US dollars in cash on me. Although I am not short of money, domestic bank cards cannot transfer money directly overseas.
If you want to transfer money to a foreign bank card, you can only apply for remittance from the bank and pass the review. In other words, if you want to complete the transaction, you have to go to the ICBC branch in Los Angeles.
He scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Lu Qingliu, and said, "Um... do you have any money with you? Lend me some first, and I'll transfer it to you later."
Lu Qingliu sneered and said, "Do you think, as a public official, I will have more than one million US dollars in funds?"
Just as he was talking, two tall, dark-skinned men walked into the store, pulling a suitcase.
One of them, a fat black man wearing a big gold chain and sunglasses, came in and shouted:
"Hey, Franco, come out and see what treasure we dug up this time!"
Franco Li raised his hand to signal Tang, Song and Yuan to wait a moment, walked over and greeted with a smile:
"Yuri and Case, please open it and take a look. I'm also curious about what you gained today..."
While talking, Yuri Jin, who was wearing a large gold chain and sunglasses, had already opened his suitcase, took out some miscellaneous items and put them on the counter.
There were books with simple covers, bracelets that looked like jewelry, and several large and small jewelry boxes, all of which were probably valuable.
Keith King also said with excitement: "I just took pictures of three suitcases today and gained so many things. Franco, you are an expert in this field, help us estimate the value of these things!"
Tang Songyuan's English was not very good, so he looked at Lu Qingliu for help.
The latter didn't say anything and directly translated for him.
Tang Song and Yuan finally understood that Yuri Jin and Keith Jin should be the legendary professional treasure hunters.
Speaking of professional treasure hunters, Tang Songyuan knew a little bit about them.
On Douyin, a super popular short video platform, it claims to have five speed bumps for men:
Knife forging competition and donkey hoof repair, African hunk Odebiao riding a big bar to transport bananas, wilderness survival and warehouse and container blind box.
If Tang Songyuan guessed correctly, what these two people drove should be considered one of them, and that was a blind box suitcase.
These suitcases are all unclaimed suitcases left at the airport. After a certain time limit, the airport will take these suitcases out for auction to relieve inventory pressure.
Treasure hunters can bid for ownership of the suitcases and thus the items inside.
The value of these suitcases is incalculable. Some of them can contain valuable luxury goods, and treasure hunters can make a fortune from them.
Some suitcases may only contain some ordinary clothes, and the treasure hunter will face the result of losing all his money.
Thinking of this, Tang Songyuan opened his perspective and appraised the 'treasure' the two found:
The quaint book is a 1908 Bible, the jewelry bracelet is a diamond bracelet...
On the other side, Franco Lee had already given the identification results. He quoted the two brothers one by one:
"This Bible once belonged to a famous bishop in the last century and is valued at US$200. This diamond bracelet is of average quality and is valued at US$50. This ruby ring is valued at US$1,200..."
After Lin Lin finally figured it out, he found that the total value of the suitcase brought by the fat black brothers was US$2,250.
"Oh~!"
The two brothers suddenly jumped up excitedly and excitedly. They bumped their chests against each other.
Then he felt that it was not enough, so he hit it hard with his fist a few times, making a "dong-dong-dong" sound.
Yuri Jin's excited dimples were spinning in circles in the store, and he was making ooh-ooh-ooh sounds.
Keith King laughed at Franco Lee and said: "You know, Franco, we collected these things from three suitcases, and we only spent a total of 250 US dollars... "
"Oh my God, now we're making a fortune..."
With a smile on his face, Franco had already counted the cash, and then handed it to Yuri Jin and said, "Congratulations, I hope you can have such good luck every day."
Yuri Jin laughed with a big mouth, took the cash banknotes handed over by Franco, and then couldn't restrain his excitement and kissed the cash,
He said happily and proudly:
"Of course, we are professionals!"
"Goodbye, Franco... we'll see you again tomorrow!"
Before leaving, Keith King waved to Franco Lee and said.
Franco responded with a smile and put away all the things he had just collected.
Then he walked back to Tang Songyuan and Lu Qingliu and said, "Let's continue!"
But at this time, Tang Songyuan had other thoughts in his heart.
He also wants to play with container blind boxes, warehouse blind boxes and suitcase blind boxes!
He said: "Franco, I want to ask, can anyone participate in a treasure hunt like theirs?"
