Joanna was going home that night and couldn't come over, so Zhu Yu went to bed early.
The next day she felt refreshed and after breakfast, Cathy said to Zhu Yu:
"Sir, I went to call and ask about the crystal."
Cathy was as polite as ever, Zhu Yu nodded, he was used to it.
Of course, Cathy's bonus will not be small every time. Zhu Yu doesn't want such a useful butler to become a tool after using up his uncle's affection.
Joanna had to go to class in the morning, Ran Jie and the other three were busy in the goods yard, and Zhu Yu didn't want to go out, so he went to the study to read.
I used to read mainstream books, so my values were relatively stable and I followed the mainstream. Later, when I came to the United States, I opened my eyes and discovered that many people in China are really simple. There are all kinds of people here. The lower limit is really low.
Of course, there are also those developing in the direction of saints.
They are all extremes.
Then it was the crystal hand bones this time that made Zhu Yu feel that the world was not just a few yuan, but too many.
He had only been a little skeptical about the Jinhua theory before. After all, he had read it before and knew it was a hypothesis. But now it seems that there are many contradictions in this hypothesis!
In other words, there are many problems with reality!
But the hypothesis has become the mainstream and has already begun to exclude other theories and viewpoints.
This is a bit excessive.
So Zhu Yu is now interested in other theories.
So he began to search for books by some niche anthropologists.
This sight lasted all morning.
What surprised Zhu Yu was that he didn't expect to see a lot of clues about it while reading the book!
It's just that these clues are relatively rudimentary and need to be sorted out.
Now Zhu Yu is not short of clues, what he is short of is time.
Of course, once you have money, your motivation is not that strong.
Now he is more concerned about the truth of this world.
How did humans appear?
The sacrificial vessels found in Central Asia and the Americas all contain strong life energy. What is the cause?
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang.
Zhu Yu was happy when he saw it was Smith's call.
You should have found a buyer, right?
He answered the phone, and Smith said excitedly:
"Mr.zhu, I contacted a rich man. He is interested in the crystal hand bone on your hand and has the idea of purchasing it. If you are willing, I will give him your contact information and you can discuss it yourself. How about talking about it?”
"Okay." Zhu Yu is not very interested in this kind of thing. If it can be converted into money, he will naturally be happy.
After Smith hung up the phone, Zhu Yu stopped reading and waited.
In his opinion, the other party should call soon.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for nearly half an hour, Zhu Yu had to pick up the book and read it again before a strange phone call came.
Zhu Yu was angry and would not be polite when he answered the phone.
"Hey, who's there?"
The other party was very polite, but the polite evidence sounded a bit polite:
"Hello, I am Mr. Anhui's butler. My master learned through Mr. Smith that you have an extraordinary thing that needs to be sold? If so, then you are really lucky! My master is a very good collector. Home, it would be an honor for you to have your things collected by my master!"
"I'm sick!" Zhu Yu originally thought the call was from the buyer, but he didn't expect it to be a loser and a slave with a strong sense of superiority!
This attitude made Zhu Yu even more angry. He cursed and hung up the phone.
The other party, the butler who came to Anxiu, was holding a classic phone handle inlaid with ivory and was stunned.
Why doesn't the other party play their cards according to common sense?
Wasn't it that the other party should be very happy when he heard that Mr. Anxiu came and wanted to buy the other party's things?
It seems that he must be a vulgar country boy!
Don’t understand the etiquette of nobles! What a lack of education!
At this time, Lai Anxiu, the employer introduced by Smith, came over with a glass of wine and asked:
"Qiao Yins, what did the other party say?"
"Uh...he called me sick." Qiao Yins was not good at lying, so he answered truthfully.
"What? He actually called you sick?" Laianxiu was a little angry. He put down his glass and said:
"Call Smith and ask him if he gave the wrong number, or if he introduced some rude person? You represent my image, and I will not allow anyone to insult me like this!"
Joyce was moved and called Smith.
It turned out that Smith's cell phone was busy.
Of course, Zhu Yu was complaining to Smith at this time:
"What kind of housekeeper did you introduce to Anxiu? What qualifications does a housekeeper have to be so condescending to me and say, 'It's my honor for his master to buy my things'... I think that person needs to see a doctor for his brain!" "
Smith was a little surprised when he heard Zhu Yu's complaint, and then explained:
"Mr. Zhu, this Qiao Yins has always been like this, and we are used to it. The main reason is that Lai Anxiu himself is a noble, hereditary kind. Although he is only a viscount, he is very famous in the circle."
"There are also nobles in the United States?" Zhu Yu was a little surprised, "Isn't it supposed to be right? Back then, all the people the Mayflower brought here were robbers and fugitives, right?"
Smith was a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject and explained: "No, no, Lai Anhui is a Danish nobleman, but he often lives here. He said he likes the culture here."
"Okay, it seems that I am not suitable to sell this thing to such a person. Besides, such a noble and I should have nothing to do with each other."
"No, no, no, Mr. Zhu." Smith still wanted to earn a commission, so he immediately said: "Mr. Zhu, Mr. Anxiu really wants to buy that thing.
He was a strong supporter of creationism, so he was very interested in that thing. And Mr. Laianxiu is also a rich man..."
Smith didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"Okay. If he really wants to buy it, then show sincerity. If he still has that condescending attitude, then don't blame me for scolding people again."
Going to work is not a business, Zhu Yu now understands.
Maybe the other party thinks that they are in a hurry to sell, so of course they need to adjust their attitude.
Do you really think you have no place to sell that stuff?
I am just selling something, but I have no intention of finding an ancestor!
After complaining to Smith, Zhu Yu felt much better. He hung up the phone and stopped reading. He went downstairs and saw Cathy instructing the cook to make snacks. He did not disturb them, walked out and walked around the yard twice. .
Then the phone rang again.
Seeing that it was the same number that called Angxiu, Zhu Yu picked up the phone and said in a cold tone:
"Hello?"
"Hello, I am the noble Viscount Lai Anxiu's housekeeper Joyce. My master heard that..."
The other party still had a condescending tone, which made Zhu Yu very unhappy.
He directly interrupted Qiao Yins words and said quickly:
"I don't care whether your master is a noble or a commoner. Now that your master wants to buy my things, then show the attitude of buying things! I am selling things, not begging you to buy things. Your attitude is very me I’m very unhappy! If you want to buy, come over and look at the goods and make an offer, or get out!”
Just now, Qiao Yins called Smith and the line was busy. He waited for the other party's phone to be idle and then got through. Qiao Yins complained a lot.
Smith explained patiently:
"Mr. Zhu Yu is a good trading partner. I have always maintained a good relationship with him. There must be some misunderstandings between you. If I want to trade, the attitudes of both parties are very important..."
After receiving Smith's explanation, Qiao Yins felt that he should be more generous, forget the previous unhappiness, and do it again in a calm tone. It should be okay, right?
As a result, Zhu Yu was criticized again!
He was angry too!
"My master won't deal with someone as rude as you!" He hung up the phone first.
When the other party hung up the phone, Zhu Yu didn't feel any pity, but just felt a little disgusted.
Are there still people like this these days?
With such a person as a housekeeper, how did this nobleman live for so long?
Or does the butler also watch people order food?
Zhu Yu just made a guess and didn't think too much.
Then Cathy called and said the buyer she had contacted was here.
This made Zhu Yu suddenly feel very happy!
Look at this attitude, come to the door in person!
"This is Mr. Black, the younger son of Mr. Black. He has inherited the title of Mr. Black. By the way, Mr. Black and Mr. Ojiang are friends."
Cathy's introduction was a bit convoluted, but Zhu Yu understood, this is also a noble!
Are there so many nobles these days?
"Hello, Mr. Zhu! Nice to meet you!" Little Blake was very enthusiastic.
"Hello, hello." Zhu Yu and Blake shook hands.
Little Blake is a thin white young man, less than thirty years old, wearing a top hat, and his clothes are a bit meticulous.
Entering the living room, Cathy asked:
"Mr. Black, tea or coffee?"
"Tea, thank you."
Cathy asked the maid to bring her two cups of tea, then stepped away.
"My father and Mr. Ojiang are good friends." Little Blake took the initiative to speak. "I once bought some very good collectibles from Mr. Ojiang. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhu would be even more powerful..."
How comfortable it sounds!
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"The main reason is that I like the adventure and treasure hunting business, and I also have good luck."
"Luck itself is a part of strength." Little Blake said seriously, "I never think that so-called good luck is just chance. Having good luck itself represents ability!"
Seeing that Little Blake spoke so formally, it was hard for Zhu Yu to joke with him.
He suddenly felt that this person might really believe in creationism.
Are all nobles like this? Just now Smith said that Lai Anxiu also believed in creationism.
Little Blake didn't put on any aristocratic airs at all and chatted with Zhu Yu enthusiastically. From astronomy and geography to current affairs and gossip, Zhu Yu felt a little curious.
What does this nobleman have to do all day? How do you know so much?
Little Blake seemed to understand Zhu Yu's thoughts very well and explained:
"As nobles, we must have some knowledge in all directions so that we will not have nothing to say in various situations. In fact, being a noble is also very hard..."
The two people talked for nearly half an hour before switching to the main topic.
"My father received a call from Ms. Cathy. After seeing the photo, he felt very surprised and pleasantly surprised! My father is a strong supporter of creationism. Under his influence, I have some ideas about creationism. I understand, but I wasn’t very supportive in the past.
But as my experience deepened, I found that many phenomena cannot be explained by the theory of evolution, so I am now more inclined to the theory of creation..."
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"That's good. It's good to have your own opinions. How about I take the things out and take a look at them now?"
"Okay, okay." Little Blake's eyes were full of anticipation.
Zhu Yu asked Blake to wait. He went upstairs. When he came down, he held the stone box in his hand and placed it in front of Blake.
"Is it in here?" Although Little Blake had seen the photo, he was still a little excited at the moment.
"Yes." Zhu Yu took the initiative to open the stone box for him.
The moment he saw the crystal, Little Blake was stunned, and then said in amazement:
"Sure enough...I never expected...that such a magical thing really exists!"
"This is a sacred object of a Mayan tribe." Zhu Yu explained, "Natural crystal, not artificial. In addition, touching this crystal has unexpected effects!"
Although the energy in the crystal was absorbed by Zhu Yu yesterday, it will recover some today. This is a common attribute of this type of thing, and Zhu Yu knows it.
"What effect?" Little Blake's attention was immediately attracted by Zhu Yu's words.
Then he reached out to touch.
"Stop!" Zhu Yu shouted, "Unless you want to buy it, it's best not to touch it."
"What? Is it dangerous?" Little Blake was a little confused.
"There is no danger. On the contrary, there will be benefits. But I can only tell you after you confirm the purchase."
Although Cathy said that her uncle Zhu Dajiang knew the old Blake, it was the first time for Zhu Yu to meet the younger Blake, so he needed to be careful about some things.
It seemed that Zhu Yu subconsciously treated people he met abroad and at home differently.
Little Blake was a little disappointed, but then the smile returned to his face. He first carefully observed the crystal hand bones, and then took out a magnifying glass and observed more carefully.
Obviously, this is a person with a calm personality, and he will not directly decide to buy just because of Zhu Yu's words.
After watching it for a long time, Little Blake even took out his mobile phone and searched for some content.
Zhu Yu didn't interrupt him and just let him compare.
Little Blake is a very gentleman. If Zhu Yu doesn't let him touch him, he really won't touch him.
After comparing for a while, Little Blake put away the magnifying glass, took off his gloves, and said to Zhu Yu:
"Sorry, I looked at it for so long..."
"It's okay. I believe you are sincere in wanting to buy it, so you will observe it so carefully and seriously."
"Mr. Zhu is really considerate." Little Blake praised, and then said:
"I definitely need to buy this... holy object. I think this thing is indeed worthy of being Maya's holy thing! The existence of this thing can completely question or even overturn certain conclusions in the theory of evolution!"
Zhu Yu didn't want to hear him talk about the issues of creation and evolution, so he immediately said:
"If you want to buy it, you can touch this crystal now and you should know the effect I want to say."
"But I haven't made an offer yet." Young Black is also very insistent. "I think ten million dollars is a more appropriate price."
Zhu Yu shook his head and said with a smile:
"No, no, no, after you touch it, you will feel that the price is not suitable."
Little Blake didn't know why Zhu Yu said this, but he was looking forward to it.
Zhu Yu is also looking forward to it.
