Collection of Gods

Chapter 394: Twenty-eight points

late at night.

Villa No. 76, Block W.

"Dong dong dong..."

The crisp knock on the door was a little harsh in the silent night.

About five seconds later, the door opened a crack.

"Brother Wei, come in quickly."

Niu Jianrong stuck his head out, looked around cautiously, and then quickly welcomed the middle-aged man in front of him with a flattering smile on his face.

"Arong, I said you brothers are destined to make a fortune. You can dig up bronzes from the Spring and Autumn Period. Your luck is really enviable!"

The middle-aged man looked about fifty years old, tall and burly, with a beard. He walked into the villa as if taking a leisurely stroll. He first looked at the surrounding environment, then patted Niu Jianrong on the shoulder and said with a smile. .

This middle-aged man is none other than Wei Zhengfei, an antiquities dealer who has long been active in the American empire. Over the years, many of the precious cultural relics unearthed by the Niu brothers have been sold through Wei Zhengfei's channels.

"Where's Brother You?"

Wei Zhengfei pulled out a chair and sat directly on it, while asking in a casual tone.

"My brother is in the storage room, packing things."

Niu Jianrong poured a cup of tea for Wei Zhengfei, and then he sat across from Wei Zhengfei and asked with a slightly eager look: "Brother Fei, has the buyer been contacted?"

"Ah Rong, if what you have in your hands is genuine, I can contact you with a buyer in minutes, but before that, do you have to let me see the things first?"

Wei Zhengfei looked at Niu Jianrong with a slightly meaningful smile.

"Brother Fei, the stuff must be real, and it's only natural that I show it to you."

"But is this thing really easy to sell? We won't sell it for less than 80 million US dollars!"

At the end of Niu Jianrong's speech, he looked a little concerned about gains and losses.

"Arong!"

"This is a bronze from the Spring and Autumn Period!"

"A true national treasure-level cultural relic!"

"As long as it is confirmed to be true, let alone 80 million US dollars or even 100 million US dollars, there will be people vying for it. There is no need to worry about selling this thing!"

Wei Zhengfei's words plunged Niu Jianrong into a huge surprise.

"Brother Fei, the bronze is in the storage room. You are an expert. You will know if it is true or false."

Niu Jianrong stood up from his chair and pointed to the storage room not far away.

When Wei Zhengfei heard this, he stood up slowly and said, "Then take a look. If it is confirmed to be genuine, I will contact the buyer directly on the spot."

"Good good!"

"Brother Fei, please come this way."

As Niu Jianrong said this, he led Wei Zhengfei to the storage room.

Here, Wei Zhengfei saw Niu Jianrong's brother Niu Jianxiong.

"Brother, let me introduce you, this is Brother Fei."

After Niu Jianrong saw Niu Jianxiong, he immediately introduced Wei Zhengfei to him.

The Niu family brothers have always had a clear division of labor.

Niu Jianxiong was in charge of stealing, and Niu Jianrong was in charge of selling. So although Niu Jianxiong knew Wei Zhengfei, this was the first time he saw Wei Zhengfei himself.

Niu Jianxiong looked at Wei Zhengfei in front of him, his eyes flashing with vigilance, and his voice was a little dull: "Hello, Brother Fei."

Wei Zhengfei nodded towards Niu Jianxiong, then swept his eyes, and finally landed on the tripod-shaped bronze vessel located in the northeast corner of the storage room.

Seeing this object, Wei Zhengfei's eyes suddenly lit up. He ignored the Niu brothers, took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, and walked straight towards the tripod-shaped bronze vessel.

When Niu Jianxiong saw this, he subconsciously wanted to stop him, but before he could make any move, Niu Jianrong reached out and stopped him. The two brothers exchanged silent glances. In the end, Niu Jianxiong said nothing and let Wei Zheng fly away.

As Niu Jianrong said, Wei Zhengfei is indeed an expert. When he came in front of the tripod-shaped bronze ware, he immediately got into working mode. At the same time, he carried many small instruments with him, and his professional level far exceeded that of the two Niu brothers.

Finally, Wei Zhengfei gently held both sides of the tripod-shaped bronze vessel with both hands, and then used his arms to lift and lower the entire tripod-shaped bronze vessel with slight force.

"Brother Fei, how are you?"

When Niu Jianrong saw Wei Zhengfei starting to take off his gloves, he immediately stepped forward and asked.

"It is indeed a tripod-shaped bronze vessel from the Spring and Autumn Period." Wei Zhengfei sighed with emotion, and then changed his tone: "But have you noticed that the weight of this tripod-shaped bronze vessel is a little off."

"Um……"

"There is indeed a problem with the weight of this tripod-shaped bronze vessel. Compared with bronze vessels of the same volume, its weight is more than four times that of bronze vessels of the same volume."

Facing the objection raised by Wei Zhengfei, Niu Jianxiong nodded and replied in a deep voice.

"Do you think there might be something in here?"

Wei Zhengfei said suddenly.

"There may be something, but the top cover of the bronze vessel has been completely integrated with the bronze vessel under the power of time. If you want to open the top cover, you must destroy the top of the bronze vessel."

"No one knows exactly what is inside the bronze vessel. It may be gold, silver, jewelry, or rotten mud. If we explore the contents at the expense of destroying the bronze vessel, it will undoubtedly be a huge gamble."

"The prices of complete bronzes and damaged bronzes are very different. The two of us cannot afford to take this huge gamble."

Niu Jianxiong was silent for a moment and replied to Wei Zhengfei.

"really."

"This is a big gamble."

"We are all ordinary people and we can't afford to gamble."

Wei Zhengfei nodded with deep understanding, with some emotion in his words.

"Brother Fei, since you have identified it and this tripod-shaped bronze is indeed from the Spring and Autumn Period, can we contact the buyer now?"

Niu Jianrong rubbed his hands and asked Wei Zhengfei tentatively.

"No hurry, no hurry."

"Before contacting the buyer, I think it would be better for us to explain some things clearly in advance so as not to hurt the relationship later."

Wei Zhengfei waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Brother Fei!"

"Don't worry, we understand the rules!"

"When it's done, we'll split it 28/20. I guarantee that Brother Fei won't let your work go in vain!"

When Niu Jianrong heard this, he immediately understood. He came to Wei Zhengfei's side, put his arm around Wei Zhengfei's shoulders familiarly, and said with a smile.

"Um……"

"Ah Rong, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"I'm very satisfied with this share ratio."

Wei Zhengfei said with a smile.

When Niu Jianrong and Niu Jianxiong heard this, they couldn't help but smile a little when they saw Wei Zhengfei agreeing so happily. However, Wei Zhengfei's next two words made their smiles freeze directly on their faces.

"In that case, it's settled."

"When it's done, I'll keep 80% and you get 20%."
