Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0377 Playing Poker on Lion Rock
Nan Yi had no doubt that the bronze head in front of him was a fake. The bronze heads of the twelve zodiac animals were worthless now. Besides, this was Belgium, and no one would come here to dig the ground. Who were they laying mines for?
Nan Yi turned around and waved at the school beauty. When she walked to his side, he leaned over and whispered, "Call Ya Zhenni, drive around outside and walk back, and ask the restaurant manager to buy this thing. The upper limit is 100,000 francs, Belgian francs.
Remember to make sure that the restaurant manager is not the boss. If he is the boss, forget it and don’t ask.”
100,000 Belgian francs, which is equivalent to less than 2,000 US dollars, is already a very high price. Nan Yi just thinks that this thing fits harmoniously into the decoration tone of the restaurant. If he goes to the owner, he will most likely be unwilling to sell it. The restaurant is of a high standard, and 2,000 US dollars may not be acceptable to the restaurant owner.
I can only talk to the manager and see if he will embezzle the money.
"clear."
"Adam, what are you looking at? Come over here and order food." Sophie Marceau, who was already sitting in an empty seat, shouted to Nan Yi.
“Here I come.”
Nan Yi walked to the dining table , hugged Sophie Marceau's head, kissed her on the top of her head, and then sat opposite her, "This is not your first time here, right?"
"No, this is my third time."
"So any recommendations?"
"I don't know what you like to eat, but the last time I came here I had Ghent stew and oysters with potato chips, and the time before that I had pan-fried sole and chicory with ham. They were both delicious."
"So what do you want to eat this time?"
"Brown shrimp and beef tartare, please." Sophie Marceau flipped through the menu and asked casually, "Would you like some black leather? "
"Lifu, dark beer tastes too strong. I don't like it very much."
"Okay, I'll decide what to eat."
"Sure, you can order a few more and we can mix them together."
"Well, we just need one beer mug and share one cup, what do you think?"
"Can."
Sophie Marceau quickly ordered the food, and the waiter brought the beer over first, showing no curiosity about the fact that Nan Yi and the other man only wanted one glass.
The welfare here in Belgium is good. Most people don’t have to worry about making a living and have more time to study things that are not related to survival, such as romance.
There are many ways to show affection here, and it is not uncommon for men and women to share a cup.
Girls, especially those who are deeply in love, always have some weird ways of expressing intimacy, such as feeding.
Sophie Marceau stood up with a potato chip in her mouth, holding the table with her hands, leaning forward, and shaking her head slightly left and right, teasing Nan Yi to bite it.
Nan Yi was also happy to satisfy Sophie Marceau's intimate way of doing things. He also stood up and opened his mouth to bite the potato chips.
When he was about to bite her, Sophie Marceau's head moved to the side, and Nan Yi's mouth reoriented to find the target. One chased, the other dodged. It would be more appropriate to say that the two were flirting rather than eating.
On the other side, Ya Zhenni found the restaurant manager Bunan.
"Manager Bu Nan, I really like the snake head ornament on the wall of your restaurant. Can you sell it to me?"
"Ma'am, this ornament belongs to our boss. I have no right to sell it to you. "
Boonen flatly refused.
"Ten thousand francs."
"Miss……"
Boonen was unmoved.
"30,000."
Bu Nan was slightly tempted, but still refused: "Madam, this is our boss..."
"50,000."
This time, Bunan did not speak immediately, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
Seeing that Boonen had already loosened up, Ya Zhenni quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "Manager Boonen, I'll add another 10,000."
"Ma'am, our boss really likes this ornament. If I sell it to you, I might lose my job."
"80,000, this is my highest bid."
"Ma'am, it's a deal, but I can't take it down until the restaurant closes." Boonen nodded, then said, "Oh, that's too much trouble. I have to find a place to make a new one tomorrow morning. I have to get up early. It's really..."
"Manager Bunan, 80,000 is my highest price. If you are still not satisfied, we can cancel the deal."
Yazhenni could see that Bunan wanted more money, and she would not indulge him.
Soldiers are like the people who lead them. How could the soldiers led by a stingy man like Nan Yi be generous? They don't care about bullets when killing people, but in other aspects, they are stingy as much as possible.
People in mercenary organizations treat every day as if the world is over . They make a little money and then spend it lavishly, living a life of debauchery and letting their money flow out like water. But it's different for the doves of peace. Each of them has a financial account and saves the money for having offspring.
However, this is also related to Nan Yi’s recruitment principles. The members of the Peace Dove team all have families to support. It is not the case that one person’s food does not feed the whole family, and they cannot just take care of themselves.
"No, just 80,000. Our restaurant closes at 11."
Seeing that Yajni was not buying into the plan, Bunan gave up. 80,000 francs was already a lot of money. Finding a place to make an identical one would only cost two or three thousand francs at most.
The school beauty received Ya Zhenni's message and whispered to Nan Yi.
"Adam, what's the matter?" Sophie Marceau asked curiously when she saw the two whispering.
"Nothing, after we finish eating, we'll go up to Lion Rock to see the Iron Lion."
"Aren't we going to the airport?"
"It's okay. We can fly again tomorrow morning."
For the sake of the snake head, it is worth going back later. This thing can also bring some fame to Fan Hongdou in the future.
Nan Yi had already made up his mind that after getting the snake head, he would give it to Fan Hongdou to donate.
Of course not now. We have to wait until the twelve faucets are placed on a pedestal and the price rises to a sky-high level before we can maximize our profits.
It wouldn't hurt to donate it now, and it might even be put on the shelves of a state-owned cultural relics store.
"Hello."
On Lion Rock, Nan Yi and his companion had just climbed to the top of the mountain when his phone rang.
"Stop hello, Mr. Xiaoce. Why haven't you come back yet? Did the plane fall into the sea?" Fang Mengyin's angry voice came from the microphone.
"Grandma, why are you so angry so early in the morning? Please choose the time next time you call me. It's late at night here."
"Where are you? Why is it so late at night? It's only seven o'clock in New York."
"I'm in Paris, and there's something urgent here."
"Don't worry about it, just fly back quickly. You have an idea of what's going on, right?"
"It's just about finding your biological mother, why are you in such a hurry? Let her wait. If she can't wait any longer, show her my photo. When she sees the photo, she will understand that she and I have met before."
"You've suspected it for a long time?"
"No, it just happened that her eyes were very similar to mine, so I asked someone to check it out."
"Since you already know, then hurry back. If you stick your head out, you'll get hurt. If you hide your head, you'll get hurt too. Hurry and get things done."
"Grandma, I got it. I will be at Xiangkeng tonight. Don't wait for me. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, go to sleep."
"Well, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi and Sophie Marceau spent some time on Lion Rock. As for how they spent the time, they naturally played the most interesting game - poker.
First, Sophie Marceau's 8 hit Nan Yi's J, and then Nan Yi's five 5s blew up Sophie Marceau's A. Just when they were having fun, Ya Jenny called.
"Boss, I got the stuff."
"knew."
Throwing the phone aside, Nan Yi and the other person played poker on the mountain for another half an hour before going down the mountain.
"BOSS."
As soon as she saw Nan Yi and the other man, Ya Zhenni held the snake head and walked up to them with a tactical flashlight.
"Huh?" Sophie Marceau was surprised when she saw the snake head in Yajenny's hand: "Isn't this the decoration in the restaurant? How did you get it here?"
"I asked her to buy it."
As Nan Yi spoke, he took the snake head from Yazhenni, hugged Sophie Marceau and walked towards the parking lot.
After getting in the car and looking at it under the reading light for a while, Nan Yi still couldn't figure out what it was. It was made of copper, and all he could tell was that it was old copper with a little oxidation on the surface. No one could tell how old it was.
Nan Yi saw that some places in the corners looked new, probably because they had been washed with chemical liquid, which made it even more difficult to tell the age.
“Is it an antique?”
Nan Yi was watching, and Sophie Marceau followed suit. Not seeing anything, she asked curiously.
"Maybe, but it shouldn't be valuable. I just thought it had a unique shape and looked like something from China, so I asked Ya Zhenni to buy it. Do you like it?" Nan Yi asked deliberately.
"Not really. I'm afraid of snakes."
"Oh." Nan Yi responded and handed the snake head to the school beauty sitting in the passenger seat, "Put it away and take it back to Xiangkeng and store it in the bank vault."
"yes."
