Little Blake just hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously:
"Okay, I'm going to buy it."
His idea is, how much higher can it go? Just wait until it doubles.
Then he rubbed his hands solemnly, stretched out a finger, and touched the crystal. Zhu Yu looked carefully. He deliberately avoided the hand bones and touched the crystal.
Then Zhu Yu looked at Little Blake's face expectantly.
Sure enough, little Blake's expression began to change the moment his fingers touched the crystal.
Shock, enjoyment, struggle, fear...
It’s really amazing how various expressions appear on the same face almost instantly!
Zhu Yu felt that if young Blake went to Hollywood, maybe a good actor would come out!
Finally, Little Blake let go.
A look of loss flashed across his face.
Zhu Yu understood that this was the energy in the crystal being absorbed.
Little Blake has not been able to stop at the first touch, and his concentration is not enough.
Facing Little Blake's puzzled expression, Zhu Yu took the initiative to explain:
"It contains energy that can change a person's physique. Of course, it may also contain some other things. This is why it is regarded as a sacred object by the Mayan tribe..."
Little Blake felt a little enlightened after hearing Zhu Yu's words, but then he had new doubts.
"Because some of the energy inside was absorbed by me before." Zhu Yu continued without waiting for him to ask questions.
Little Blake nodded.
However, there is no way to verify it.
And the energy is gone...
Then he heard Zhu Yu say:
"The reason why it is called a holy object is that it can independently absorb the energy between heaven and earth. Therefore, the energy you absorbed just now is what it has absorbed independently in the past two days."
Little Blake's eyes suddenly opened so wide!
So powerful?
"Mr. Black, you don't have to worry about buying it now. You will be able to experience the effect of those energies by this time tomorrow, and then you can determine whether it is worth buying.
In addition, I think you'd better think carefully about the price of this sacred object. "
Zhu Yu finished explaining his words smoothly, then took a sip of tea.
Black tea, tastes good.
Little Blake nodded slowly.
If the effect of that energy is as Zhu Yu said, then his price of 10 million is really a bit low.
Even 20 million is a bit low.
But everything needs to wait until verification.
After all, Little Blake is quite well-informed. If he really wants to use some chemical means, he should be able to feel the same feeling as before. It won't be that strong, but at least it should be there.

Therefore, all he can do now is wait.
The two changed the topic and talked about other things for a while.
After drinking a cup of tea, Little Blake picked up his hat and stood up to say goodbye.
Zhu Yu stood up to see him off, but only went to the door and did not go out.
Just exotic nobles.
Zhu Yu felt that among China's 5,000-year-old civilization, there was really nothing unusual about the so-called nobility.
Which family has no noble ancestors?
Which famous family has never produced an emperor?
Zhu Yu was sure that Little Blake would definitely come tomorrow, so he did not go out that day. Instead, he put away the crystal hand bones and planned to return to the study to read.
Cathy came out, had the tea tray cleared, and asked:
"Sir, how did the conversation go?"
"It should be okay. This little Blake is not bad." Zhu Yu commented, "It has the temperament of a Western aristocrat."
Cathy nodded, which showed that Zhu Yu was satisfied with her introduction.
She is also very happy.
At the same time, the noble Lai Anxiu was saying to the steward:
"Four days later, a big shot is going to hold an exchange meeting. You should finish the purchase of the crystal hand bone as soon as possible. I plan to bring this item to this exchange. As for the price, as long as it does not exceed your authority, You don’t need to report it.”
"Understood, my master." Qiao Yins said with a serious face, "I will have the crystal hand bones appear in front of you intact within three days."
Lai Angxiu was very pleased, patted the butler on the shoulder, and went out.
He was always at ease when the housekeeper was doing things.
And Qiao Yins has always been so serious in front of Lai Angxiu.
Of course, Lai Anxiu couldn't see his other faces.
Lai Anxiu naturally didn't expect that his butler would have another face or faces.
But he doesn't care. As long as you can do the things you assigned yourself well.
Then Zhu Yu received the phone call he hated in the study.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up.
"Mr. Zhu? I am Qiao Yins, the housekeeper of Viscount Anxiu," Qiao Yins's tone was slightly less arrogant, but only slightly.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yu asked.
"My master wants to buy the crystal hand bone from you. If you are free, can you take it to xx Street xx, New York City today?"
The words were words of discussion, but the tone was not that of discussion.
"If you want to buy it, just make your own quotation and come over to see it." Zhu Yu regretted answering the phone call. I thought that having one more buyer would be better than pinning my hopes on Little Blake.
I just didn't expect it to make me sick.
Hearing that Zhu Yu was about to hang up the phone, Qiao Yins was really anxious at this moment. He immediately said:
"Five million dollars!"
His authority was US$20 million, but Qiao Yins felt that US$5 million was already a high price.
"Snapped!"
Listening to the other party hanging up the phone, Qiao Yins was a little dumbfounded.
Mainly because he was asked to buy items when he came to Angxiu before, such as super-large human bones, prehistoric historical relics and fossils.
None exceeded $5 million.
Although this thing is very rare, it is essentially just a piece of crystal and a hand bone.
So Qiao Yins feels that the price is quite acceptable.
The other party is not satisfied?
Zhu Yu hung up the phone, and it took him a while to calm down.
How could I be so naive, thinking that this guy could change his temper?
Did Little Blake give him the confidence?
Well, as expected, even Western aristocrats are essentially human beings, and people are different.
In the afternoon, Smith called and said tactfully that Lai Anxiu wanted to buy the crystal hand bone and asked Zhu Yu to quote.
"One hundred million US dollars, and this is not the final price." Zhu Yu said, "Some people are still hesitating and may pay higher than this price."
Smith didn't know what the special function of this crystal hand bone was, and he was also stupid.
If he hadn't dealt with Zhu Yu several times and done business several times, he would have thought that Zhu Yu was talking to the lion!
So when Smith conveyed the price to Qiao Yins, Qiao Yins just said calmly with a bit of contempt:
"He's crazy!"
Then he hung up the phone.
Since then, Smith himself has felt that this transaction must have been a scam.
Smith felt a little regretful that he didn't earn any commission.
Zhu Yu felt refreshed. He had already sensed the petty anger of the Qiao Yins who had called him earlier. The $100 million might drive him crazy.
This is enough.
Five million dollars - petty. Zhu Yu suddenly felt that he was no longer a little proud. When did he feel a little stingy for five million US dollars?
Qiao Yins waited until Angxiu came back and immediately reported the matter.
"He quoted US$100 million..." Qiao Yins did not say that he offered US$5 million.
"One hundred million?" Lai Angxiu frowned. He remembered that Qiao Yins' authority was 20 million US dollars, and Lai Angxiu's base price was also 20 million.
He felt that a crystal hand bone was worth twenty million dollars.
One hundred million is a bit exaggerated.
"This price is too high, didn't you make a counter-offer?"
"He also said that 100 million is not the final price. Some people are still hesitating and may bid higher than 100 million."
Qiao Yins seemed to casually ignore his offer of five million.
Sure enough, it might be higher than 100 million. This information made Laianxiu more concerned. He asked doubtfully:
"Is there something special about this crystal hand bone? Or, maybe someone has the same plan as me and hopes to bring this thing to that exchange meeting?"
The center of Lai Anxiu's thinking was always at that exchange meeting. The corners of Qiao Yins eyes moved but he said nothing.
It would be better not to speak at this time.
Zhu Yu didn't expect that Little Blake would call at night.
"What, did you feel it?" Zhu Yu felt a little strange, so fast? Isn’t it usually a day? Could it be that the energy of this crystal hand bone is different?
That's right, it's indeed different.
Too many impurities.
“I can clearly feel that I can see things clearly and my hearing has improved a bit. The most important thing is that I usually take a nap at noon every day. Otherwise, I will feel dizzy and lack of energy throughout the afternoon and even at night. "
Zhu Yu knew this. He had also met people who had similar nap habits, even if they only slept for five or ten minutes. But if you don't sleep, you will definitely be out of energy all afternoon.
"But I didn't feel sleepy at all at noon today, but I felt very energetic in the afternoon. And I can confirm that this is not the kind of excitement caused by chemical drugs!"
Zhu Yu thought to himself, this person has a wide range of knowledge, he knows the excitement caused by this chemical drug!
"So, I know that this energy is really good for people. I also want to ask, Mr. Zhu, can this energy make the elderly..."
"Definitely. But the amount needed is larger, that is, wait until it absorbs more before touching it." Zhu Yu explained.
The effect of energy on young people is naturally different from that on older people.
Little Blake understood immediately:
"Mr. Zhu, I understand. I will visit you tomorrow morning. Is it convenient?"
"Convenient and convenient." Zhu Yu smiled.
Almost done.
Early the next morning, not long after breakfast, little Blake came to visit, bringing with him an unsmiling middle-aged man.
Zhu Yu glanced at the man and found that he had a gun on him.
Little Blake noticed where Zhu Yu's eyes were and immediately explained:
"This is my bodyguard. Today's transaction is large after all, so it will be safer. If it is inconvenient, I will ask him to wait outside."
"No need." Zhu Yu smiled, "Just right here. Does Mr. Black feel more obvious today?"
"Yes, yes." Little Blake had a very strong idea of confidence: "I used to sleep very lightly, and I would wake up at the slightest movement. But I slept very well last night, although I would wake up occasionally. , but the quality is very high..."
Little Blake has completely attributed his good changes to the energy of the crystal skull.
In fact, he also knew that disclosing such information that was beneficial to him to Zhu Yu was a taboo in negotiating transactions.
But think about it, Zhu Yu had already let him touch the crystal hand bone before confirming the transaction. How much trust did he have in himself?
Besides, as long as you take out something with this function, there will be many people willing to buy it!
Simply put, it’s a seller’s market!
Don’t worry about selling this thing!
"One hundred and fifty million U.S. dollars." Little Black had already thought of the price he needed to quote. "The price I can offer at the moment is this high. In addition, in the suburbs of New York City, I have a ranch with an area of 2,000 acres. , currently raising 500 beef cattle, was appraised at the end of last year at a price of US$80 million, and this ranch was included in it.”
The total is almost 230 million.
It is higher than Zhu Yu’s target price.
There are many things that can absorb energy. The added value of this one lies in its own irrationality. In other words, at least it does not conform to the viewpoint of evolution that is actually widely recognized as a hypothesis in a broad sense.
This is a bit convoluted, but I believe everyone can understand it.
After all, if you think about the previous gold sacrificial vessels, each one could only be sold for less than 100 million US dollars.
Worth it!
So, trade on the spot.
Zhu Yu took the stone box from the study and opened it in front of Blake.
At this time, the bodyguard brought by Little Blake was wearing gloves and planned to inspect the crystal skull.
Zhu Yu stopped him and said:
"Mr. Black, I suggest you touch it yourself first."
Little Blake's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward. This time he didn't extend a finger, but pressed his whole hand on the crystal.
Then again his face showed surprise and satisfaction.
It's not that complicated this time, but Little Blake has determined that although the energy is not as much as yesterday, it does mean that the crystal hand bones can automatically absorb energy!
Although Zhu Yu had already said it, Little Blake actually didn't expect that this thing could absorb a little energy in a day.
Of course, what Zhu Yu didn't tell him was that if he absorbed too much of this energy, he would become "drug-resistant" in the future. When the human body reached a certain level, it would be a huge amount if it rose again.
A little useless.
Naturally it is the most obvious at the beginning.
But this goes without saying.
Paying one hand and delivering the goods, Little Blake also brought the ranch's procedures.
There are certain procedures for the transaction. Little Blake has experience and Zhu Yu has Cathy watching over him. In short, both parties are very well-behaved.
Little Blake left with the crystal hand bone satisfied.
Zhu Yu felt that he had another extra income, which was quite good.
There is also an additional pasture.
No need for Zhu Yu to say anything, Cathy brought it up herself:
"I'll go check out the ranch tomorrow. When I get back, I'll make a plan and report back to you."
See, how important it is to have such an experienced butler!
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"The commission is four and a half million dollars, you can take it yourself."
Little Blake was introduced by Cathy, but Zhu Yu didn't think Cathy's connections should be used in vain.
The uncle is the uncle, and he is himself.
Cathy missed her uncle's old love, but she couldn't just lie there and do nothing.
No matter how strong the love is, it will be used up.
Cathy was a little confused, Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"you deserved."
