The 125th day of being eavesdropped
"Mr. Gu."
Just as Gu Jinshui and his family were about to leave, they saw two cars coming from the front. After the Mercedes-Benz behind them stopped, the person who got off was Lin Dahai.
Lin Dahai was smiling, wearing a casual suit, and the gold ring on his left index finger was particularly eye-catching.
"James?"
Gu Jinshui slowed down, looked at him in confusion, and then looked at his people, "How do you know where we live?"
Lin Dahai smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, this is America, as long as you have money, you can do anything. Not to mention just an address, I also know that Mr. Gu recently got a treasure, right?"
He stretched out his hand to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper handed him a photo. Lin Dahai turned the photo to Gu Jinshui, "Does this look familiar to you?"
The photo showed "Kuaixue Shiqing Tie".
Gu Jinshui's eyes flashed, "Mr. James is really well-informed. Yes, I got this by chance, but I can't bear to give it away. I'm really sorry."
He said, and was about to signal Liang Ying and others to get in the car.
Liang Ying and others took a few steps, and Hank and others came up and blocked them.
Joseph clenched his fists in anger, "What are you going to do? This is America. If you dare to mess around, I will call the police now."
He said, and was about to go back to the house to make a phone call.
A hint of impatience flashed across Lin Dahai's eyes, but he was still a little wary of Joseph. After all, Gu Jinshui and the others were Chinese, and if they were bullied, the American police would not help them. But Joseph was an American after all, and he also had some connections.
Lin Dahai smiled and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I don't mean anything else. I just want to discuss this with you. Gu Jinshui, I'm thinking about you. This thing is priceless. Once the Americans know you have it, you can't take it back to China."
Gu Jinshui frowned, "Even if I can't take it back, it doesn't mean I can only sell it to you. We know Su Shibe's people."
Lin Dahai's heart tightened. Su Shibe's is a big auction house with much more funds than him. If Su Shibe knew that Gu Jinshui had this thing and mixed it in, this thing would never fall into his hands.
Since coming to the United States, Lin Dahai has sold many things. He can't do anything else except selling antiques. He has already reached the point of living off his savings. Even the house in Beverly Hills is rented.
He knows that this thing is very valuable in Gu Jinshui's hands. Once he gets it, he can make at least millions of dollars by reselling it, and he can live a luxurious life for many years!
"Yes, but if you sell it to Su Shibei, Su Shibei's people will definitely not be able to give you a high price."
Lin Dahai directly took out a check for three hundred thousand US dollars. "Besides, Su Shibei and his people have to go through procedures. It's hard to say when you can get the money. You have to return to China early. Do you have to wait in the United States until you get the money before leaving?"
He shook the check in his hand. The series of zeros on it were particularly eye-catching. "But it's different if you sell it to me. You can get three hundred thousand US dollars directly. I have inquired about it. You only paid ten thousand for this thing. You have earned dozens of times the money. You should be satisfied."
Three hundred thousand US dollars!
The An Yi brothers breathed heavily, staring at the check.
Gu Jinshui looked at the check and laughed. He said, "You are very sincere."
Lin Dahai's lips curled up, and Gu Jinshui said again, "But you probably think I am a fool. This thing can be sold at least for 500,000 US dollars at Su Shibei! This is the only one in the world!"
Lin Dahai's smile froze.
He gritted his teeth in his heart. This grandson is really smart. No wonder he can make a fortune!
He suppressed his anger and forced a smile: "Then how much do you want?"
"At least 550,000. If you give it now, I will give it to you immediately."
Gu Jinshui said.
Lin Dahai's eyelid muscles twitched, the corners of his lips lifted, and he gritted his teeth: "You have such a big appetite, aren't you afraid of being overfed?!"
Gu Jinshui smiled and said, "Of course not, from ancient times to the present, there are only people who die of hunger, not overfed. Besides, Mr. James, I think the money you make back will definitely not be less than this."
Lin Dahai's face was full of flesh, and his eyes were fierce and cold.
He stared at Gu Jinshui, snorted after a while, turned around and left.
His people also got into the car one after another and left.
After they left, Joseph came over and patted his chest and said, "Gu, your order is too big. I think the man just now really wanted to hit you."
"If he really does it, it's hard to say who will suffer the loss."
Gu Jinshui turned his neck and said, "Okay, let's go and have dinner."
"Eat? You still have the mood to eat." He Chunlian looked at him with some worry and anger in her eyes. "That man doesn't look like he will let it go. I'm scared when I look at his eyes." "
Mom, don't worry. That grandson is a bully who only fears the strong and the weak. He will never dare to do it by force. Believe it or not, he will call us later."
Gu Jinshui has seen many people like Lin Dahai.
The greatest ability of this kind of people is to bully and betray those who are good to them, but if they meet a tough guy, they will be scared.
He Chunlian was half-believing and half-doubting, and she was always worried.
But more than two hours later, Lin Dahai actually called.
"How is it, James?" Gu Jinshui had just finished his meal and his tone was very lazy. "Have you thought about it? If you haven't thought about it, we plan to contact Su Shibi. Although Su Shibi pays slowly, it is a big auction house after all, and may be able to give a high price!"
Lin Dahai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He was a little angry, but also a little helpless. Chinese people don't have much status in the United States, and Lin Dahai doesn't have many connections. He can hire someone to be a bodyguard, but if he wants them to do something illegal, Hank and his team will never agree.
Even if they agree, they will ask for a terrible price.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand is too much, I don't have it here."
Lin Dahai pressed his aching eyebrows and said, "I'll give you the other two hundred and fifty thousand later."
"No."
Gu Jinshui refused without thinking, "We are not related, why should I believe that you will give me the remaining money? Besides, you also said that we are going back to China. If you are unwilling to return the remaining money, can we come to the United States to ask for it?"
Lin Dahai's tone was a little embarrassed, "Then what do you want?"
He glanced across the study, and suddenly his eyes fell on a statue. His heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "How about I use antiques as collateral? I have quite a few valuable antiques here."
A gleam of light flashed across Gu Jinshui's eyes.
He said, "Antiques, how much are your antiques worth? The one I sold you before was only worth 30,000 US dollars. You have seven or eight things of the same grade as Chenghua Wucai?"
Lin Dahai said vaguely, "Don't worry about it. Come at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I will use the antiques as payment. If there is any reason, we will exchange the money and the goods tomorrow."
Gu Jinshui hesitated for a while before pretending to agree reluctantly.
Lin Dahai was immediately overjoyed and hung up the phone in a hurry.
On the other side, Gu Jinshui also had nothing to sell. He immediately went downstairs to find Joseph, "Can you help our family book a flight ticket for tomorrow night?"
Joseph was playing games with two children, Gu Yousi and Lan Lin.
Hearing this, Joseph called out, "Are you leaving tomorrow night?"
"Yes, that's right." Gu Jinshui said, "We have to hurry about this. The sooner the flight ticket for tomorrow the better, preferably around six o'clock."
Joseph frowned, looked at Gu Yousi and Lan Lin, and said, "Okay, although I'm reluctant to leave you, I will try to get you plane tickets."
"Mom, wife, you take your things to the airport tomorrow."
Gu Jinshui looked at He Chunlian and Liang Ying, then at An Yi, "As for you, do you plan to go with us, or..."
An Yi shook his head: "We plan to play here for a few more days, you go back."
"Okay," Gu Jinshui nodded.
He planned this too hastily. He Chunlian and others didn't expect to leave so soon, so they had to go upstairs to pack up.
Gu Jinshui discussed with An Yi and others how to tell Lin Dahai when they went to his place tomorrow.
The old man's things have been lost for so many years, maybe he can really get them back tomorrow. Gu Jinshui was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.
The next day, when Lin Dahai saw him, he said in a gloomy tone: "Gu Jinshui, you are so excited about getting the money that you can't sleep?"
Gu Jinshui laughed and said: "If you can make so much money, you will definitely not be able to sleep."
That's true.
Lin Dahai was thinking about how to auction and hype the calligraphy when he got it back last night.
He is not as stupid as Gu Jinshui, who was dismissed with just over 500,000 yuan.
This is the work of Wang Xizhi, and it also has seals of emperors of various dynasties. If he hypes it up, he might be able to earn tens of millions of dollars in the future!
Thinking of this, Lin Dahai's breathing became rapid, and he could not wait to urge Gu Jinshui to take out the things.
Gu Jinshui was not afraid of the things being seen, and he carefully took out the copybook from the bag.
The copybook was spread on the table, and the beautiful and lively handwriting seemed to have come alive across the long river of history.
Lin Dahai looked at the seals one by one, and the joy, greed, and ambition in his eyes condensed into flames.
"How is it, good stuff, this is a work of art."
Gu Jinshui crossed his legs and said nonchalantly.
"It's a good thing, but my stuff is not bad either."
Lin Dahai snapped his fingers.
The housekeeper led people down from the building, holding antiques in his hands.
When Gu Jinshui saw those things, his heart began to beat like a drum. He recognized that all of these things were what his master had told him about.
These were all treasures that the old man had collected throughout his life, such as the copper lamp with a shade from the Western Han Dynasty and the Ru kiln wash basin from the Northern Song Dynasty. Each one of them was a treasure.
Lin Dahai saw Gu Jinshui staring at those things intently, and immediately raised his chin proudly, "How is it, it's a good thing, right?"
"It's a good thing, but compared with my copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, it's far inferior."
Gu Jinshui shook his head and leaned back on the backrest, "You want to use these few things to get rid of me, then you underestimate me."
