The third chapter is here! Go to drink saliva first, and then code words. ●⌒,——
"How much are these?"
After the appraisal experts brought by Termosco checked the jade wares one by one and said that there was no problem, Temosco's assistant spoke up.
As an assistant to a rich man like Termosco, it is normal to be able to speak seven or eight foreign languages.
Therefore, there was no problem in communicating with Wei Xiaobei.
Of course, Wei Xiaobei himself can speak four modern foreign languages, English, French, Spanish, and Danish, as well as ancient Sanskrit, and he can circulate Western divine language.
No matter how bad it is, the two sides can also communicate in English or French.
Wei Xiaobei had set the price for these jade articles before.
Naturally, this private sale cannot be compared with going to an auction. At an auction, a group of people compete, and the price will naturally have a large bubble, and the auction company will also charge a certain fee.
Wei Xiaobei's eyes flicked over the jade pieces selected by Termosco one by one, and he quickly calculated the price in his mind: "1 billion US dollars!"
To say that the price is still a bit high, after all, except for the decorations, the rest of the jade wares are made of leftover materials from carving decorations, of course, Wei Xiaobei's craftsmanship is also worth a lot of money.
"OK! Deal!"
Termosco was very satisfied. He was not a real businessman. Anyway, money came too easily for him, and there was a lot of oil underground.
In his opinion, it is already a good deal to buy 4 ornaments and more than a dozen other jade articles for 1 billion US dollars.
"Wei, your price is very fair, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate next time."
The style of rich people in the Middle East is straightforward. Once they collected the jade, they asked their assistant to make a phone call to transfer the account. In less than fifteen minutes, Wei Xiaobei's account had an extra billion dollars.
Termosko came in a hurry, and Nikowski arrived on the third day after he left in a hurry.
as a Russian billionaire. Nikowski was surrounded by groups of bodyguards in black clothes when he was traveling. It can be seen from this that this master attaches great importance to his own safety.
Since the rich in the Middle East bought most of the jade,
Wei Xiaobei was worried that there were too few things. It made Nikowski look down on him, so in this gap, he carved an ornament and some other jade articles.
The ornament is in the shape of a polar bear, lying on an iceberg. It was so vivid that Nikowski caught his eye at a glance.
This is also related.
Russians call themselves polar bears, so they naturally have a special interest in this stuff.
It has to be said that this Russian tycoon is really inferior to the Middle Eastern tycoons in terms of handwriting and imposing manner. After picking for a long time, he chose the polar bear and two rings, which he said were for his son's engagement.
As for the price, Wei Xiaobei gave 300 million U.S. dollars, after all, the price of this single decoration should be more expensive.
But for this price, the rich Russians bargained for a long time, and finally the two parties settled for 250 million US dollars.
Actually. Wei Xiaobei didn't even know that this rich Russian man was not bad, at least the price he paid was not low.
Wei Xiaobei didn't understand what a businessman is until the familiar face technology company chairman appeared in front of him.
From sending out the invitation to appearing, the chairman, Mr. Trengohsi, stayed up for a full week. After seeing those jade articles, he was picky from beginning to end.
Don't look at him being so picky, but when he made the final choice, he said that he would wrap all the jade pieces round.
The price given by Wei Xiaobei is 600 million US dollars, after all, there are two ornaments. Plus more than a dozen other jade articles, the price is very fair.
But this Trengohsi cut the price to 200 million US dollars just like buying something in a small shop!
People buy things with a single knife, but this master cuts off two-thirds directly.
Wei Xiaobei could see it. This guy wants to lower the price, and the pickiness from the slow arrival is all to prepare for the lower price.
Well, to be honest, Wei Xiaobei was also slightly affected, otherwise, the price would not be 600 million US dollars. It should be 700 million US dollars.
"600 million US dollars, this is the lowest price. If Mr. Trengohsi is unwilling, please return it. I will help to settle the bill for air tickets and accommodation."
Wei Xiaobei's face turned cold, 200 million US dollars? Send the beggars, the cost of the suet white jade alone is not enough.
Such a large piece of mutton fat white jade, even if it is sold directly without carving, it can be bought for at least 300 million US dollars.
Therefore, Wei Xiaobei's words are not very pleasant. Well, Wei Xiaobei is not suitable for doing business. In his opinion, this is a one-shot deal. After making this deal, he will never Carved suet white jade is now on sale.
Trouble, waste of time.
It is much more convenient to make a Yang-strengthening medicine than this thing.
"Mr. Wei, the workmanship of these jade wares is still very delicate."
What Wei Xiaobei didn't expect was that this Mr. Trengoshi was not affected by his cold face at all, and kept talking, as if he had never been picky before.
In the end, Wei Xiaobei really couldn't stand this guy's nagging, so he lowered the price of 600 million US dollars several times, and finally reduced it to 500 million US dollars.
At this hurdle, Wei Xiaobei wouldn't give in no matter what he said, and even called Zhao Guang over directly, ready to start chasing people away.
At this time, Tren Gaoxi reacted very quickly, took out his mobile phone, quickly transferred the account to Wei Xiaobei, and then directed the people he brought to pack the jade wares.
Now that the business is done, Wei Xiaobei didn't continue to mock this guy, and waved him away as soon as the money arrived.
Although there was such a strange thing as Trengosh in the last deal, Wei Xiaobei was still satisfied with the total turnover.
1.75 billion US dollars.
200 million of the previous 400 million US dollars in the account has been allocated to Zhu Xinyi, and the remaining 200 million, plus here is 1.95 billion.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Xiaobei found that he had now entered the class of tens of billionaires.
Of course, this tens of billions refers to Huaxia currency.
With money in hand, don't panic.
Next, Wei Xiaobei had no choice but to go to the Kingdom of Leusnia himself.
During this trip, the passenger plane did not encounter any accidents. The high-altitude fish encountered before seemed to have never appeared before, and even the escorting fighter jet was reduced to one.
It can be seen from this that nothing major should have happened afterwards.
Arriving in the Kingdom of Leusnia, Wei Xiaobei saw Prince Tamaras as soon as he got off the plane.
"Welcome, my dear Lord Wei."
With a brisk smile on his face, Tamaras hugged Wei Xiaobei forcefully.
Lord Wei? Wei Xiaobei knew that in Leusnia, nobles were called nobles with fiefdoms and titles, but this Lord of the Wei family gave people a weird feeling, and he thought it was the Lord of the Wei family when he said it too quickly.
After Tamaras and Wei Xiaobei embraced, Zhu Xinyi, Andre and others also came up to meet them, and Wei Xiaobei also had to hug each other in accordance with the customs of Leusnia.
I have to say that the feeling of hugging the girls Zhu Xinyi and Andre is very different.
Tamaras has now been appointed by His Majesty the King as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commerce. There are many things to do. This time I came here to meet Wei Xiaobei. After all, there is news that Wei Xiaobei wants to buy a few more islands. It is undoubtedly a good thing for Leusnia, who is a little tight financially.
Before Tamalas left, he specifically stated that he would hold a banquet for Wei Xiaobei at his mansion in the evening.
Afterwards, Wei Xiaobei and his group rushed to the shore and took a medium-sized seaplane towards Weijia Island.
Sitting on the plane, Zhu Xinyi immediately introduced Wei Xiaobei.
This medium-sized seaplane carries 15 passengers and costs 1 million US dollars. It can take off and land in sea conditions with wind and waves less than grade 3.
In Rusnia, the country of archipelagos, seaplanes are considered the second most means of transportation, followed by boats. Except for some people living on the capital island, the rest of the citizens basically own boats. Of course, The size of the boat does not matter.
The third most is the car.
To put it simply, ordinary seaplanes are not expensive. The cheapest seaplane with less than seven seats is only 7,000 US dollars, um, the one with two seats, and the one with more than seven seats is slightly more expensive.
Like this central seaplane carrying fifteen passengers, it costs a million dollars, which is considered very cheap.
The reason why Zhu Xinyi introduced these things to Wei Xiaobei was very simple, she was the one who decided to buy this seaplane.
Considering the traffic situation in Rusnia, it is normal to buy a seaplane. Even if she doesn't buy it, Wei Xiaobei will buy it if she knows about it.
However, this is different from spending money on construction. This is Zhu Xinyi's first time spending so much money on luxury goods, and she is somewhat worried that Master said she was wasting it.
In Zhu Xinyi's view, airplanes are undoubtedly luxury goods.
After hearing Zhu Xinyi's introduction, Wei Xiaobei asked how many such seaplanes he had bought.
When he learned that there was only such a fight, he shook his head, which made Zhu Xinyi's heart lift up.
"It's different here than in China, and I'll rely on it for traveling in the future, so I can buy a few more."
But what Wei Xiaobei said next turned around, causing Zhu Xinyi's heart to drop to the ground.
When the seaplane flew over Weijia Island, Wei Xiaobei looked down.
The current Weijia Island is quite different from before.
On the west side of the island, a permanent wharf with a cement and concrete structure is slowly extending towards the sea.
Speaking of this Weijia Island, the most expensive building at present is the pier, with an overall budget of 100 million US dollars!
I have to say, Jinqiao Silver Road Diamond Pier.
The pier is only 300 meters long, and the construction cost near the coast is relatively cheap, at 20,000 US dollars per meter, but once it goes deeper than 50 meters into the sea, the cost will rise wildly for every additional meter.
No way, building in the sea, in addition to requiring a lot of special concrete, steel bars, etc., the environment also has a great impact on the construction.
In addition, all materials, including stones, need to be shipped from China, so that the cost will rise to 100 million US dollars.
To be honest, the price is already very cheap. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit
