Chapter 1362 Selling Beads

Claire watched Celia put on the clothes, then shrugged her shoulders, shook her head and said: "This is my spare clothes, I didn't expect you to be quite suitable. Well, I won't tell you I've collected the money..." She waved to Silia, "Let's go, follow me to experience the jungle life first." Then she started walking towards the woods.

Along the way, the two spent three days and two nights in the jungle, lived together in a tent, hunted together, and barbecued together until they came out of the woods again. When they came out, both of them were disheveled and dirty. It seemed that they needed to find a place to wash and change clothes.

"Cheyenne, we have reached Cheyenne again." Claire walked along the railway weakly, and said to Celia, "According to what you said, you are now over five hundred years old. Are there any Spaniards? Maybe there is, I don’t think you might know, how could you know the changes in this world after staying in the lake for so long?” Claire shook her head, as if Talking to himself.

"Of course... this is a railway? I've heard of it, but... I haven't seen it..." Silia said, and suddenly heard the sound of a train whistle, which made her jump out of the railway track in a hurry. Running to Claire's side, a huge train roared past, and the biting wind and strong air current made Celia's face turn pale.

"Have you seen the great power after the industrial revolution? This is a train. You haven't seen it, but you have seen it now? This train is just for carrying goods. There is also a train for people. You can take it to the United States anywhere in the world. Of course...there are also airplanes, flying in the sky. Carrying you anywhere in the world!" Claire supplemented the knowledge of this world to Silia. Silia was really excited and asked about everything she saw.

"This is Cheyenne, and there are military bases and missile launch sites nearby. Damn it..." Claire and Silia walked along the railway, and Silia was still looking around with interest. Everything is of interest. Just imagine, what kind of mentality will a girl who has been imprisoned in the lake for five hundred years integrate into this world?

Two people at dusk. Enter the small city of Cheyenne, even though it is the capital and largest city of Wyoming. But it really does look like a small town. Such a small town really feels like nostalgia. There are no high-rise buildings, just like the buildings in the old city. Occasionally, you can see new buildings, but they are all luxurious hotels. For some guests visiting here.

"It's so beautiful here!" Silia said to Claire in surprise. She even wanted to take Claire's hand into the hotel, but was dragged back by Claire, shaking her head Said to her, "Yes, this place is really beautiful, I know you want to live in it, but you have to be rich!"

"Well, I know...you took three pearls. You can exchange them for money, so we can live in a hotel like this, and we can buy some nice clothes. I feel like that's a bit I'm not used to it.

After all... your clothes are too small. "Speaking of Silia's eyes looked at her chest, it was tight, it was indeed a bit small, which made Claire curl her lips.

"Well, well, you always have a reason. We have to go to the jewelry store first. I hope we can find something like this country. Follow me, Celia. Don't get lost!" Claire felt that Celia What Ya said made sense, he had already spent half of the salary he earned, and he was indeed in an economic crisis.

After turning a few turns on the street, I finally saw a jewelry store, so Claire waved to Silia, walked in, and took out a bead from her small pouch , and handed it to the counter, a middle-aged man in a black suit and white gloves.

"Sir...how much do you think this is worth?" Claire handed the beads over.

The middle-aged man in the suit smiled, took the beads over without hesitation, and said to Claire with a smile: "I think...you have read too many stories on the phone, and at any moment when the beads come over, you think it is Baby, and then you want to exchange a lot of money? This idea is very good, I think...you better make up a story to make the price higher..."

"Okay, give me the beads, and we can go to another city!" Claire was unhappy when she heard this, so she snatched the beads back from the middle-aged man's hand and snorted , when he turned around and was about to leave, suddenly an old man frowned and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Please wait, little girl, we can estimate the value of your bead, please come to my office and talk about it?" The old man made a gesture of invitation to Claire and Silia, and then He said displeasedly to the middle-aged man, "You almost missed our guest, no matter what she brought, don't say no easily."

"Yes, sir, I must remember it!" The middle-aged man nodded in fear.

"Please, cute little girls." The old man said, let Claire and Silia go in through the door behind the counter, and then went in by himself, half-closed the door and looked at the middle-aged man with a serious expression. He said, "Don't let anyone in." As the old man said, he closed the door.

"Yes, sir, I remember!" The middle-aged man replied resentfully. He really couldn't understand why the old man would talk to these two little girls in person. Could it be that the beads in the little girl's hands were really valuable? ?

"Okay, beautiful girls, now we can talk about business... May I have a look at this bead first?" The old man stretched out his hand as he spoke, seeing that Claire still had some doubts, he hurriedly said, " Alan Binder, the owner of this jewelry store. My family and I have been running here for more than two hundred years, so...don't worry I'm going to lie to you, more than that, I'm a master jewelry appraiser, so don't I'm worried that your jewelry won't be worth the price, as long as it's good enough." She said and looked at Claire expectantly.

Claire was worried, then handed over the bead, then looked at him and said, "I hope you are fair, otherwise, we won't sell it. You'd better do it this way, and don't try to blackmail it." took our beads."

"Of course, I swear on the honor of our Binder family. To be honest, I will only swear to little girls like you, because... here, everyone will trust me unconditionally! Believe me... Oh, I God, what a beautiful bead, I'm sure, this bead will be the most beautiful in the world, without any impurities in it, God...it's so perfect, tell me...what price do you want? "Alan Binder asked Claire while looking at the beads with a magnifying glass.

"We don't know exactly how much it's worth. If you think it's good, what price will you give me? Of course...you have to swear by your family's honor that you won't give us an ultra-low price. We need money , but they can’t be sold casually like this.” Of course, Claire doesn’t want to suffer.

"Well...let me think about it, I can't give you a price so easily." As he spoke, Alan Binder took the microscope, put the beads under the microscope, and began to observe again. While observing, he let out a "tsk tsk" admiration, "It's really beautiful. Although I shouldn't be in such a state of affairs in front of the guests, I still want to praise this bead... Well, I can't wait, I Give me a price, if you think it is suitable, then this bead will be mine."

"Okay, tell me, we're listening!" Claire shrugged.

"Five million dollars!" Alan Binder stretched out five fingers, gesticulating, "Five million dollars, I will pay this much, if you can, you can sell this to me. Five million dollars is you It's over!"

"My God——" Silia suddenly screamed from the side, then covered her mouth, looked at Claire with wide eyes and said, "Is the dollar... worth more than Spanish gold coins? If you convert How much is that in Spanish gold coins? My God, I can't believe it..."

Claire patted her hand, then took the beads from under the old man's microscope, snorted and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Binder, I don't want to just sell it to you, and sell beads It’s me, not this idiot next to me, you better pretend you haven’t seen all her performances!” Claire stood up quickly as she spoke, then pulled Silia and walked towards the door.

"Okay, okay, you won... little girl, you are really good, I will add another three million, a total of eight million dollars, no pearl can be sold for more money than this, this is my sincerity A sincere price, in fact... You know, such a high price is hard to get even in an auction house." Alan Binder yelled loudly.

Claire nodded, then smiled and said, "It's okay if you said that earlier? Well, eight million dollars, deal, you are such a happy person!" Len Binder shook his hand, and then said to him, "You give me the cashier's check, and I'll give you the beads."

"Of course, of course... so we can still avoid taxes. Just... I want to know, how did you get this bead? I rarely see you walking around with such a valuable thing like you. It should be Put it in the safest place at home, or in the safest counter of a jewelry store." Alan Binder said to Claire.

"This...do you still want to ask about the origin of the jewelry?" Claire couldn't help laughing, "If you buy my jewelry through the normal way, I will definitely tell you the origin of this bead, but... now We're all in an illegal business, so... either you give me the check or I'll bring back the beads!"
