Chapter 230 Meteorite Trading
"Xiao Fan, apart from this Robert, in fact, Laomei also has a top meteorite collector."
Brother Gang hesitated for a moment, then said: "But that man is unwilling to sell his meteorite, he won't even let him see it, and he won't give the auction house any face."
"Huh? Why?"
Su Xiaofan was taken aback when he heard the words, "Isn't collecting meteorites just for trading and selling money? What's the matter with this person?"
"He is really not here to make money, or because he likes meteorites."
Brother Gang smiled wryly, "That man's name is Zhan En. He is a billionaire himself. He collects meteorites just for fun. He even opened a company to mine meteorites on the moon."
"What? There are people like this?"
Su Xiaofan was a little dumbfounded when he heard that. Even though he needed meteorites to provide repair value, he was not crazy enough to go to the moon to mine meteorites.
"Then did he succeed?"
Su Xiaofan asked, such a boss must give full support, if he can absorb the meteorite mined by Zhan En, wouldn't it be a big profit.
"No, but they invest tens of millions of dollars every year. I heard that they have obtained the moon mining qualifications of the old American method."
Brother Gang shook his head, no one has landed on the moon in Laomei for decades, so what should I use to mine.
Of course, Zhan En's company didn't plan to send people up, but planned to use lower-cost robots, maybe it really had a chance of success.
"Brother Gang, how many meteorites does this person have? Where are they placed?"
Every year, tens of millions of dollars can be thrown away for such a crazy move. Su Xiaofan doesn’t think he can buy the meteorites collected by Zhan En with money.
"He has been on the news, and the meteorites are hidden at home, probably more than 700 yuan."
Brother Gang knows this person very well, and he has worked hard before to buy meteorites from him.
"Brother Gang, from now on, don't inquire about this person again. After the deal with Robert is over, take your sister-in-law and leave the beautiful country immediately..."
Su Xiaofan thought for a while, and then said: "When I go to trade with you tomorrow, you can just say that I am an expert in meteorite identification. I am here to help you choose meteorites."
Since he wants to make a wrong decision, Su Xiaofan must first remove Brother Gang, which is very easy, as long as Brother Gang leaves the beautiful country before Zhan En's meteorite has an accident.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Brother Gang is not stupid, after listening to Su Xiaofan's words, he said: "Be careful, this is not the country."
"Because it's not in China, you don't have to be so careful."
Su Xiaofan laughed when he heard the words, and pulled Brother Gang up from the sofa, "Hurry up and go back to be with your sister-in-law. As soon as the deal with Robert is over, you will buy a plane ticket and return home."
After driving Brother Gang out of the room, Su Xiaofan picked up the phone and called Minister Hua.
Naturally, Hualong didn't answer the call, and he also stays in the restricted area most of the time now.
However, after the last appointment, Hualong gave Su Xiaofan a new number, and some external matters can be directly handed over to the person who answered the phone.
Su Xiaofan has two things that need to be handled for him. One is Zhan En's detailed information, including his home address and the place where the meteorite is stored.
Of course, there is also Zhan En’s recent activity pattern, when will he be in the house where the meteorite is hidden, Su Xiaofan needs other information except that he doesn’t care about what Zhan En ate in the morning.
The second thing is that the relevant departments need to prepare a sum of no less than 300 million U.S. dollars for him, which must be directly transferred to overseas accounts, and will be needed tomorrow at the latest.
The phone party agreed to Su Xiaofan's first thing at that time. It is not difficult for the relevant departments to find out the whereabouts of a world-renowned rich man.
On the contrary, the second thing is that the person needs to ask the superior for instructions, because Hualong never thought that Su Xiaofan would ask the relevant department to borrow money, so he did not give the relevant authority to the subordinate.
Three hours later, they called back, saying that they could meet Su Xiaofan's request, but after he returned to China, he had to return the money, or take out items of equivalent value to offset it.
Su Xiaofan naturally agreed, not to mention anything else, but that one holy-level extraordinary inner alchemy is enough to pay off the debt, not to mention that Su Xiaofan may not be able to spend that much money, he just prepared an extra hand.
Early the next morning, Brother Gang came and knocked on Su Xiaofan's door, and the two left the hotel together.
The place they are going to is a villa in the suburbs of Robert.
Beautiful Country is different from Huaxia. Most of the people living in the city center of Huaxia are successful in their careers or have stable jobs.
But in the beautiful country, the opposite is true. Since the penetration rate of cars was very high decades ago, the rich there prefer to live in the suburbs.
As for the neighborhoods in the center of the beautiful country, most of the people living here are African-American immigrants. The public security is very bad, and shooting incidents often occur.
The car is a courtesy car booked directly at the hotel, and it will serve Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang all day today.
More than half an hour later, the car drove out of the urban area full of tall buildings, and more and more villas appeared on both sides of the road.
The car turned into a place with railings and iron gates and stopped. Brother Gang got out of the car and rang the videophone at the door.
Brother Gang and Robert have had a lot of contact these days. Seeing Brother Gang's face, the other party opened the iron gate and let the car drive in.
"Dear Gang, is this the appraiser you invited? He is really young."
Before arriving at the villa, a middle-aged man was already waiting there. After seeing Zheng Dagang, he immediately gave him a beautiful Chinese hug.
Su Xiaofan took a look at Robert. He was about 1.75 meters tall, with long yellow and slightly curly hair, and wearing a pair of frayed jeans. Anyway, Su Xiaofan couldn't see even a trace of a professor from him.
"Mr. Robert, I hope your collection will satisfy my employer." Su Xiaofan greeted Robert generously.
"Then what are you waiting for, come in and see my baby."
Robert invited the two of them in. The second basement and the first floor of this villa are specially used by him to collect meteorites, and the second and third floors are where Robert and his family live.
"Robert first, how many meteorites do you have in total? I mean the rare ones?"
Su Xiaofan followed behind Robert, and said, "You know, my boss is very picky, he only wants the rarest ones, and doesn't like anything else."
"I promise, in this world, no one collects more rare meteorites than me!"
Robert said confidently: "They are all unique. If your boss is not very generous, I really would not be willing to sell them."
There is a reason why Robert is so enthusiastic about Zheng Dagang.
When Zheng Dagang came here for the first time, he picked more than one hundred meteorites and asked Robert the price.
At that time, Robert directly quoted a price that was double the market price, because he knew that Chinese people like to bargain when they buy things.
But to Robert's surprise, Zheng Dagang didn't make a counter-offer, but just told Robert that further appraisal was needed.
Robert can live in a mansion, drive a good car, and wander around the upper class all day long. The salary from his school alone is not enough.
Most of Robert's income is actually obtained from selling meteorites. When a big client like Zheng Dagang came, he naturally had to treat him well.
Following Robert to the basement, where Su Xiaofan came into view, almost all of them were densely packed with meteorites, and this floor alone cost at least a thousand dollars.
"Sure enough, he is the world's largest private meteorite collector."
Su Xiaofan felt that he should have set his sights on the whole world long ago. There are so few meteorites in China, which is pitiful.
"Mr. Robert, do you have any containers here?"
Su Xiaofan said: "I mean, I need to find something to hold the meteorite I picked."
"Oh, I see, this will do..."
Robert took out a sack from the corner of the basement and said, "This is for me to go out to search for meteorites. It is very strong. You can just choose it and put it in."
From Robert's actions, Su Xiaofan has seen the difference between foreign collectors and domestic collectors.
Domestic collectors are careful to protect their collections. Sometimes they even order expensive boxes or shelves to house some antiques.
Even if it is a meteorite, Uncle Jing will find a glass cabinet to put it in, and also put lights on it for people to watch.
But when we arrived at Robert’s place, there was nothing there. There were large wattage lights in the basement, but it was quite bright.
"Don't look at me, Lao Luo said that these things were originally pulled out of lumps of soil, and it's normal to put them on the ground."
Seeing Su Xiaofan's surprised face, Brother Gang shrugged his shoulders like the Romans did, "Where Lao Luo's meteorite is placed has nothing to do with the price of the meteorite, um, that's what it should mean."
"Well, a difference in thinking."
Su Xiaofan nodded, he didn't care where the meteorite was placed, because as long as it reached his hands, it would all turn into powder.
Using the repair system, Su Xiaofan glanced carefully, for fear of disappointing scenes.
But it’s good, when he used the repair system to look at those meteorites, Su Xiaofan’s mind already had a bunch of absorbable words.
Let Brother Gang carry the sack, Su Xiaofan bent down and threw pieces of meteorites into it.
Of course, before putting it in, Su Xiaofan still held a magnifying glass and pretended to stare at it for a few seconds.
After picking out the second basement floor, they went to the basement floor again. At the same rhythm, it only took Su Xiaofan half an hour to pack a whole sack up.
On the first floor, Su Xiaofan also found out all the meteorites that could be absorbed. After a rough calculation, there were about 270 yuan in total.
"Mr. Robert, do you have rarer meteorites here?"
Su Xiaofan said with some unwillingness to give up: "For example, solar planet meteorites, or white dwarf meteorites, in short, the rarer the better."
"God, how could a solar planet meteorite fall to the earth?"
Robert's eyes widened when he heard the words, "This is impossible. If the sun explodes, will the earth still exist? There can be no solar meteorites."
Robert’s words are categorical, and Su Xiaofan’s words have already surpassed the understanding of meteorites in the scientific research community.
"Well, I'm just making an analogy, so Mr. Robert, do you have any more rare meteorites?"
Su Xiaofan pointed to the bag and said, "You know, my boss is a rich man. If you haven't brought out some good things, my boss will be unhappy."
"Okay, I still have a few treasured meteorites, let me show you."
Robert hesitated for a while, but went to the second floor. When he came down, he had a few extra boxes in his hand.
"Although this meteorite is only six grams, it is worth $300,000 per gram!"
Robert is actually looking after the dishes. The most precious meteorites, especially the small ones, naturally he would not throw them in the basement.
"This is the Xiaxi meteorite from Mars."
Robert opened another box, "It's worth more. One gram costs half a million dollars. Of course, it's only four grams in total."
Rare meteorites are actually easy to identify, that is, they are small in size and few in number. The Uranus meteorite that Su Xiaofan absorbed in the restricted area is already relatively large in size among the rare meteorites.
Most of the meteorites contained in the sack this time are only the size of a baby's fist, and more than 80% are stone-iron meteorites.
But Su Xiaofan doesn't care what kind of meteorite they are, he doesn't even bother to identify the name, Su Xiaofan only needs to know whether it can be absorbed.
The meteorites in the three boxes that Robert took down were all absorbable rare meteorites, and Su Xiaofan asked him to keep them all.
"Mr. Robert, I think you can call your lawyer."
Su Xiaofan sat on the comfortable American-style sofa in the living room, and said, "Then bring a computer and tell me the boss how much he will have to pay in the end!"
"Oh, I love your boss, what a generous man he is!"
Robert rushed over and hugged Zheng Dagang again, and rubbed his unshaven face against Brother Gang vigorously.
Poor Brother Gang looked at Su Xiaofan with resentment on his face. In order to buy meteorites for him, Brother Gang even betrayed his own color.
The relationship between the rich man in the beautiful country and the lawyer is definitely closer than the relationship with his wife, because he will tell the lawyer how much money he has hidden, but not his wife.
Robert made a phone call, and within half an hour, the lawyer was already sitting in the living room in a suit and leather shoes.
More than two hundred meteorites were divided into three grades according to the price offered by Robert.
The third gear costs 3,000 US dollars a gram, which accounts for the vast majority of these meteorites. There are a total of 30,000 grams, or 30 kilograms, which is 90 million US dollars.
The meteorite in the second gear is 6,000 US dollars per gram. The quantity is not very large, only more than 3,000 grams, but the total price has reached 20 million US dollars.
The first gear is what he thinks are rare meteorites that Robert took out, but these meteorites are very low in grams, and they add up to about 10 million.
Finally, Su Xiaofan needed 120 million US dollars to take down all these meteorites.
This is the number obtained by the lawyer after frantically pressing the calculator five times, and Su Xiaofan has already calculated it in his head and waited for him impatiently for a long time.
"If your boss has no objection, you can take all these meteorites as long as the money enters the designated bank account after signing the contract."
When Robert’s lawyer looked at Zheng Dagang, it was like looking at a bunch of walking knives.
You know, despite the fact that there are many wealthy people in the United States, their law firm may not be able to sign such a large amount of money in a year.
Robert’s lawyer will also do a series of follow-up legal tax-free operations for him, so that Robert will not feel bad about paying him a large amount of legal fees.
Brother Gang’s hands trembled a little when he signed the contract.
120 million US dollars, that's more than one billion soft girl papers, but their company has less than 200 million cash in their accounts, and it's still Hong Kong paper.
"My boss said that the money will be transferred to the account you designated in half an hour."
Su Xiaofan took out his phone and reported the bank account and account number on the contract to the other party.
"Okay, let's have a drink together for this great deal."
Robert took out four wine glasses and a bottle of whiskey, "This is 1862 whiskey, for our friendship, cheers!"
If you want to say the happiest person in the arena, Su Xiaofan will naturally be ranked first.
Because these meteorites represent the repair value, and the repair value can heal Su Xiaofan's mother, Su Xiaofan is willing to pay any price for this.
The second place is of course Robert. You must know that this batch of meteorites was worth at most 30 million US dollars half a year ago.
But when I met a mysterious rich man from China, I sold it for four times the price.
Now Robert can't wait to hug Brother Gang and kiss him a few more times. If Brother Gang is willing, Robert doesn't mind having a French-style wet kiss with him.
The lawyer is also very happy. He feels that he is fully qualified to become a partner of the firm. Of course, Brother Gang should be most grateful for this.
Only Brother Gang’s mood is not too high, Su Xiaofan thinks that it is necessary for Brother Gang to study acting skills later. It is no exaggeration to say that Brother Gang is definitely the worst acting skill among Su Xiaofan’s friends.
After drinking a bottle of 1862 whiskey, and then smoking a superb cigar that is said to have been rubbed on the lap of a Cuban girl.
120 million was finally credited into the account designated by Robert. Robert did not hide his joy at all, and celebrated by high-fiving the lawyer and Brother Gang.
Actually, for Su Xiaofan, it’s not about who wins and who loses. Money doesn’t mean anything to him, everyone just asks for what they need.
"Brother Gang, call your sister-in-law and book the fastest flight to leave."
After getting in the car and leaving the villa, Su Xiaofan said: "Let my sister-in-law pack up and get down. You guys go to the airport. Later, I will return the two rooms together."
"There is no direct domestic flight, we need to transfer." After hanging up the phone, Zheng Dagang said to Su Xiaofan.
"Let's go too, don't stay in the beautiful country."
Su Xiaofan paused, "Don't come here for the next few years, I guess some people will follow you."
Su Xiaofan said this not because of this transaction, but because of what he will do next.
While trading with Robert, information about Zhan En has been sent to Su Xiaofan's cell phone.
Jen's residence is not too far from Los Angeles, and he lives near Silicon Valley, where the company was founded.
Su Xiaofan intends to wait until dark for a 'walk', which will probably take him an hour or two.
The third update is 16,000, it’s a new January, continue to fight, everyone supports Fatty with monthly tickets.
