Chapter 356
On the other side, Wang Zhongru was holding the police dog and looking at the dark sea.
A uniformed police officer trotted over.
"Captain Wang, all the patrol officers on the east, north, and south sides have been subdued. Please give your instructions!"
Wang Zhongru said expressionlessly, "Have you contacted the patrol ship at sea? Are they willing to cooperate with us?"
"I've already asked my superiors for permission and contacted them. They said they've agreed, but I guess we'll have to wait a while!"
"It's too late. Has our ship arrived yet?"
"Already on standby!"
"Get on board!"
"Notify them to form a semi-encirclement from the east and west. The enemy ship is no ordinary ship. Don't let them escape. Also, tell them that the enemy may be carrying a large number of lethal weapons and have them prepared."
"Get aboard!"
"yes!"
In the dark night, six or seven ships quietly docked, and fully armed police officers boarded the ships one by one.
On the other side, Mr. Mike finally finished flipping through the booklet in his hand, revealing his nature as a businessman, and was ready to bargain.
"Mr. Meng, I'm very satisfied with this shipment and I like it very much. We came here with great sincerity. I can accept the price of the three treasures at the end, but I hope we can still sell the goods at the same price as before."
Meng Bai listened to the other party's chatter and looked at Su Qingci.
Su Qingci clenched her palms and said, "They said the price is too high and they want to bargain!"
Meng Bai and Lan Chengyong looked at each other and asked, "Ask them how much they are willing to pay?"
Su Qingci immediately turned around and said in English, "Do you know how risky it is for us to get these things? It's up to you if you want to buy them or not!"
After saying this, Su Qingci secretly worried for herself and begged that there must be no one present who could understand English, otherwise she would really be chopped up and fed to the fish.
Mr. Mike's face turned cold when he heard Su Qingci's blunt words.
The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly. Kong Liu felt the tense atmosphere and winked at Abu Abiao and others, while tightening his weapons.
The other party also looked alert and stared at Kong Liu and others.
In the end, Mike still couldn't bear to part with those valuable items. If he shipped them back to the country, he could immediately make dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times the profit.
He recently received news that the country's top family, the Rockefeller family, plans to build Asia's top art collection museum.
As long as they have good things, they have no shortage of money.
He can get other things by spending a little money. You should know that he is cooperating with more than just Meng Bai and his group.
But those three sacred weapons are something you can only encounter once in a while. If you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to find them again in the future.
Mr. Mike took a deep breath and made a concession. "Mr. Meng, we also come here with great sincerity. So, the price of the last three treasures will remain unchanged. I won't say I'll give you the same price as before for the first ones, but your 100% premium is too much. How about a 50% premium?"
"We will have a long-term cooperation in the future, and I hope everyone can be happy."
Meng Bai watched as the other person pointed at the booklet, then raised his hand and quickly asked Su Qingci, "What did he say?"
Su Qingci cursed Wang Zhongru in her heart as a beast who couldn't even eat shit while it was still hot. She didn't hesitate and translated it to Meng Bai in a serious tone.
"He said that not only the price of the front one has to be reduced, but also the price of the three-level instruments at the back. Otherwise, he asked you if you want to test the hardness of his slap!"
When Lan Chengyong heard that the price of the three heavy instruments behind him would also be reduced, he was so angry that his temples were about to swell.
"That's too much, Meng Bai! They have no sincerity at all. They're bullying us! We risked our lives to get this, and now they think they can just give us a piece of their mind?"
Zhou Liang, who had been quiet the whole time, finally spoke up. "We've invested a lot of manpower, resources, and money into this business, and yet they buy it and resell it, taking no risks and still making the most money. Now they don't even want to leave any soup for us to drink?"
Mike looked at the heated discussion among the other people and knew that they were not satisfied with the price he offered.
He also lowered his head and followed the man next to him, pointing at the photos in the booklet and whispering. He added up the premiums of the previous one hundred or so items, calculated the total price, and discussed the value of the three-level artifact. Before Meng Bai and the others could speak, he made concessions.
"My respected friend Mr. Meng, and several of the other party's friends, please calm down for a moment. I have discussed with my friends. This is not our first time doing business, and we all have a strong relationship. So, this time, we will follow your offer. I hope we can have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Su Qingci immediately closed her eyes and translated, "What are you arguing about? The three statues at the back are indeed valuable, but I can easily buy this large batch from others for just a few coins. Don't you guys know that?"
After Su Qingci finished speaking, Meng Bai and others looked even uglier, while Mr. Mike looked at Su Qingci with suspicion.
I have already accepted the other party's offer, why is he still so angry?
There is something wrong with this translation!
Su Qingci's scalp tingled, her true colors were about to be exposed. She quickly tried to make amends and explained to Mr. Mike, "Mr. Mike, Mr. Meng and the others feel a little sad that you're still so difficult to talk to after working together for so long."
"They say that although the items in the front are not particularly outstanding, the three artifacts in the back can be regarded as the most important items in any collection or art museum around the world."
"You may not know the history of these three treasures. They all date back two or even three thousand years. Whether it's the craftsmanship, the shape, or the historical and cultural value, they are immeasurable. If they didn't consider you a friend, they wouldn't give them out so easily."
As Su Qingci explained, Mr. Mike's expression turned from gloomy to cloudy, but he may still have doubts about Su Qingci.
He reached out, took out a pen from his pocket, opened the pen cap and prepared to open the album.
Su Qingci broke out in a cold sweat. Although Meng Bai and the others couldn't understand English, the quotes above were all in Arabic numerals.
Su Qingci quickly explained to Meng Bai, "Brother Meng Bai, I told them about your hardships and risks, and then explained the historical value of the three sacred artifacts. I told them they were national treasures and asked them to accept our offer. We can continue to have long-term cooperation in the future, and we can help them find more. I convinced them and they have agreed."
As soon as Su Qingci finished speaking, Mike opened the booklet and made a tick behind the price of each of the three sacred vessels. Then he pointed to all the photos and introductions in the front and made another big tick on the surface of the booklet.
Su Qingci secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately she reacted quickly.
Meng Bai and the others listened to Su Qingci's explanation and looked at Mr. Mike's actions, and they all laughed, "Yuyan, well done!"
“Hahahahaha~”
Meng Bai stood up and extended his arm towards Mr. Mike. Mike understood, reached out to shake his hand, and shook it twice with sincerity.
After the two men let go of each other's hands, Mr. Mike waved behind him and a man carrying a box stepped forward.
Mr. Mike took the safe from his hand, opened it and put it on the table.
Su Qingci's pupils trembled. It was full of US dollars. It was all US dollars!
The amount of their transactions is... in US dollars!
You have to know that at that time, one US dollar could be exchanged for more than ten US dollars, and the purchasing power was amazing. No wonder the quotes in the brochure were low.
The cheapest porcelain in the brochure was priced at five US dollars, which is 50 RMB. At that time in China, many formal workers worked hard for a month and only earned a salary of just over 20 years!
It’s really a huge profit!
Meng Bai reached out and roughly touched the neatly stacked US dollars in the box, and also waved behind him.
Kong Liu and Zhou Liang took the keys from Meng Bai and led people to carefully carry things out of the hold box by box.
More than a dozen huge boxes were placed on the deck in a row, all with their lids opened, and the people brought by Mr. Mike inspected the goods.
Why don’t you come, bastard!
Just when Su Qingci was secretly anxious, a strange sound came from the water.
