After Hua Muling rolled her eyes at Xiong Ming and me, she continued to read through Zuotian Ryuji's diary.
There were three people who went to Yigensai after arriving in Jinan at that time, namely Muto, Zuoda Ryuji and the middle-aged man named Ishikawa Suke.
The remaining three people seemed to have been assigned other tasks by Muto, but Ryuuji Zuoda did not know the specific contents of the tasks.
He only knew that after arriving at Yiyuanzhai, a chief named Xu received them.
"Your surname is Xu?" Xiong Ming patted me and said, "I said Hu Tian, could it be your second uncle Xu?"
I ignored Xiong Ming and motioned to Hua Muling to continue reading the contents of the diary.
Hua Muling nodded slightly and continued slowly: "Muto and Zuoda Ryuji went to Yiyuanzhai not to deliberately look for this person named Xu, but to ask Yiyuanzhai to find an ancient object in the country."
After hearing this, Director Xu asked: "Mr. Wu, you may have misunderstood. Although Yiyuanzhai is in the antique business, there are some things that I cannot handle! After all, we still have to abide by the rules of the road!"
Muto smiled and continued: "Mr. Xu, you are over-worrying. I hope that although the item you are looking for is old, it is not a special antique and will not break your rules."
"Oh?" Director Xu asked curiously, "Then what are you looking for?"
Muto took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Master Xu, and said calmly: "It's just an ordinary copper mirror."
Director Xu did not take the note from Mu Teng's hand. He just looked straight at Mu Teng, his eyes as sharp as knives. After a while, he asked in a deep voice: "An ordinary copper mirror?"
Muto nodded slightly and said, "That's right! It's just an ordinary copper mirror."
Upon hearing this, Chief Xu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Mr. Wu, since it is an ordinary bronze mirror...do you still need us to come to our Yiyuanzhai to look for it?"
Wu Teng had no intention of avoiding Master Xu's gaze. He also stared into Master Xu's eyes and said slowly: "Although this bronze mirror is ordinary, I think the word "ordinary" is only for you Yiyuanzhai, don't I can’t find what I want anywhere.”
Director Xu did not answer, but scanned the three people in front of him with his eyes.
Muto and Ishikawa's psychological qualities were very good, but this was the first time for Zuotian Ryuuji to see such a scene. The moment Chief Xu's eyes swept across his body, he felt as if his whole body was being held by a sharp knife. It's usually on the neck.
Fortunately, Chief Xu did not intend to embarrass them. After his eyes swept over the three of them, he reached out and slowly took the note from Muto's hand.
Director Xu didn't speak, he just opened the note slowly.
Zuotian Ryuji couldn't see what was drawn on the paper, but he could clearly see it. After Director Xu saw the content on the paper, he took a sharp breath, and then his face changed. The child became pale.
Master Xu's reaction seemed to satisfy Wu Teng, but Wu Teng didn't speak. He just watched from the side, watching Master Xu's every move.
After about five minutes, Master Xu came back to his senses. He let out a long breath and sighed, "Is this the ordinary bronze mirror Mr. Wu mentioned?"
Muto didn't answer, he just nodded slightly.
Director Xu continued: "Mr. Wu, do you know the origin of this bronze mirror?"
Muto smiled and said, "Of course I know!"
Director Xu said: "Since Mr. Wu knows the origin of this bronze mirror, you should also know its value..."
Upon hearing this, Muto stretched out his hand to interrupt Chief Xu's words, and at the same time stretched out his thumb, index finger and middle finger, standing in front of Chief Xu, "Just because I know the value of this mirror, I said I can only entrust you with this thing. Yiyuanzhai came to find out... As for the price! I have always been a very generous person, what do you think of this figure?"
Director Xu looked at the three fingers extended by Mu Teng and said calmly: "This mirror
The price is thirty thousand..."
"I think Master Xu misunderstood..." Before Master Xu could finish his words, Muto interrupted him and said with a smile, "I'm not talking about 30,000."
Director Xu frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Oh? Then what do you mean...how much?"
Muto looked at Chief Xu and said word by word: "I'm talking about three hundred thousand!"
Perhaps when it comes to this, many readers may think that three hundred thousand is nothing, but you must know that this was in the 1960s, and prices at that time were not as serious as inflation now. At that time, thirty thousand was nothing. In total, it is estimated that it will not be lower than the current 30 million.
So when they heard "three hundred thousand", not only Master Xu was shocked, but even Ishikawa Suke and Zuoda Ryuji also took a breath.
Muto still liked what he said, which made people look surprised. He looked at Master Xu and smiled lightly: "I wonder if this price...will our Yi Yuan Zhai be satisfied."
Director Xu looked at Wu Teng. After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made a lot of determination and said, "Since Mr. Wu is so sincere... then our Yiyuanzhai cannot disappoint our customers! Okay, 300,000! Handover in one month." !」
But who could have imagined it? As soon as Mr. Xu said the words, Muto shook his head repeatedly and said: "No! No! No!"
When Principal Xu saw this, he frowned slightly and said, "What? Does Mr. Wu think that his bid was too high and wants to regret it?"
Muto smiled and said: "That's not... I still understand the rules of this business! Since I paid 300,000, I won't regret it! It's just that this time... a month is a bit long."
Director Xu looked at Muto and said, "Then according to your wishes...how long?"
Wu Teng held out five fingers when he heard this and said calmly: "Five days! Master Xu, I can only give Yiyuan Zhai five days at most. If you think it's okay, Master Xu, I will pick up the goods after five days... This is Deposit!"
Having said this, Muto waved his hand at Ishikawa, and Ishikawa behind him took out several wads of brand-new banknotes from the dark leather bag he carried with him and put them on the table.
Director Xu did not answer immediately. He kept looking at the piles of brand-new banknotes on the table in front of him. Instead of being happy, he frowned slightly.
Muto was a man who was very observant of words and expressions. He immediately asked, "Mr. Xu, do you still have any hesitations?"
Director Xu did not answer Wu Teng's words, but after pondering for a while, he said loudly: "Now that Mr. Wu has said it, there is no reason why we Yiyuanzhai should not respond. Five days is five days! Five days later, one hand will have a bronze mirror and the other will pay the balance." !」
When Muto heard this, he immediately stood up and laughed: "As expected of Yi Yuansai! What a great spirit, I really did not find the wrong place!"
As he spoke, Wu Teng stretched out his hand, intending to shake hands with Chief Xu, but Chief Xu did not pay attention to his words, and just said lightly: "In this case, Mr. Wu will not let you stay, please." Bar!"
Although Mr. Xu said it politely, it was clearly an "expulsion order".
Muto was also a sensible person, so he didn't say anything. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Okay! It just so happens that we have other things to attend to, so we'll be waiting for good news from Master Xu in five days!"
After saying this, Muto left Jinan Yiyuanzhai with Ishikawa Suke and Zuoda Ryuji.
