Chapter 1097, Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat plus
Pick up the phone.
A grumpy voice came.
Jiliguala. Very excited. But I couldn''t understand it at all.
It seems to be French?
Eh? French guy?
??Why did the Frenchman call the **** shop?
Can''t understand…
Can’t understand it at all…
Silence. Wait for the other party to hang up.
Suddenly…
【Language pack download completed】
【French】
【Zidane】
Information prompt arrives.
Suddenly, I felt like a lot of information was poured into my mind.
It seems they are all in French?
Eh?
Zidane?
It seems like something is getting in...
Is it Zidane’s language pack?
I want Sophia Maxu…
But, it doesn’t matter. He can now understand the French spoken by the other party.
?The other party is saying: "Why haven''t you come yet? It''s been five minutes since the appointed time. It''s been five minutes. It''s been five minutes..."
What follows are infinite repetitions. As if five minutes could cause the sky to fall.
Put the microphone farther away. To avoid earache.
When the other party''s roaring stopped, he said lazily: "Sir, who are you looking for?"
Speaking French, of course. It doesn''t seem like there''s anything awkward about it.
As if he was born French.
"Aren''t you a Yongchang pawnshop? I asked you guys to collect the things, why haven''t you come yet? Do you know how precious time is?" The other party roared again, feeling that his French was not as pure as Zhang Yong''s plug-in language pack. "If you don''t come, I won''t look for you anymore."
"We are quite busy here and can''t get away for the time being. Otherwise, you can find someone else." Zhang Yong did not tolerate the other party.
?Since you are so angry, go find someone else. What is it called?
We don’t do your business.
??Anyway, everyone in Yongchang Pawnshop is dead, and there is no way to continue operating.
“You!” The other party suddenly became angry.
“That’s it.” Zhang Yong hung up the phone.
Really.
I''m very busy here.
That much gold needs to be deposited in the bank.
By the way, what foreign banks are there in Hankou? Citi? HSBC? I don’t know if there is…
“Dingle bell…”
“Dingle bell…”
?Who knows, the phone rang again.
Frowning. There''s no end to the French, right? You want to be scolded, right?
Okay, let’s quarrel.
??There are also a lot of slang words for swearing in the language pack.
In other words, when learning another language, the easiest thing to learn is swear words. Used worldwide.
Pick up the phone.
“You are not trustworthy...” Sure enough, it was the French guy again.
“!@#￥%￥…” Zhang Yong immediately responded with a burst of swear words.
“You bastards!” the Frenchman was furious.
“Baga!” Zhang Yong switched to Japanese.
“Come here right away!”
“No time!”
“I, I, I file a complaint against you!”
"We are Japanese. You can complain as you like! Go to the League of Nations! Baga!"
Zhang Yong replied.
A string of curse words were added after it.
?Then a few more curse words came to mind. Be prepared to throw them all out.
Matt. Swearing? My strong point! Come on!
I learned Chinese, vernacular, English, Japanese, German, and French at the same time, and bombarded me in turn...
Eh?
Suddenly and only after realizing it.
I have mastered so many languages?
Three language packs are plugged in, which is really great. In the future, if you add a few more plug-ins, you will really become a superman.
Silence.
“You will go over now. Our business continues.”
"Place."
Zhang Yong changed his words angrily.
I was going to continue to curse. But the other party''s tone seemed to soften.
That’s okay too. Just go and see what''s going on.
“Old place.”
“Tell me the specific address. I’m new here. I don’t know where the old place is.”
“Hankou, Concession, Bajiao Temple.”
"knew."
“When will you come over?”
"Now!"
“I’ll wait for you at the Bajiao Temple. See you there.”
"good!"
Zhang Yong hung up the phone again.
Specially naughty. I have to run back to Hankou again. What a joke.
I am here in Wuchang now! Going by boat again?
etc!
Pinghan Railway?
Is there a railway bridge?
Then oh haha. No. The terminal station of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway is also in Hankou. It''s called Hankou Station.
??The train station here in Wuchang is called Wuchang Station. It is connected to other railways. There is no bridge on the river yet.
The first bridge needed to be built in New China.
what to do?
The only option is to take the boat honestly.
??What to do with so much gold, oceans, and legal tender in the **** shop?
It is definitely not safe to put it here. If someone takes it away, I''ll give it a try.
Go out.
??Just in time to see a car running again.
So he “borrowed” it temporarily on the street. I "borrowed" eight cars at once to move them all.
Having a gun in your hand means being willful.
No matter who you are, you must be obedient.
No matter how great your official position is, are you as powerful as me?
Military and Political Commission, Inspector General. There are only nine in the country.
?Believe it or not, I immediately inspected you!
You could be labeled a red party member or a Japanese spy, and no one would dare to question you if you were shot on the spot.
?Perks are so crazy.
??Moved all the way to the shore. Get on board. Then the car was released.
?Each vehicle will be compensated with twenty French currency, which is considered as gas money. Enough.
Then set sail.
Meet the freighter Toikawa Maru.
Carried all the belongings to Lichuan Maru.
It’s safe for now.
Leave Lin Yifeng in charge. Zhang Yong led a small team to the Bajiao Temple in the concession.
The concession in Hankou is actually quite prosperous. Although the place is not as vast as the Shanghai Concession. But the various buildings also look quite modern.
?It seems that there is a very fashionable nickname here, called "Chicago of the East"?
Get ready to go ashore.
Dress up a little.
Someone who pretends to be a pawnshop. Put on a silk gown. Wear sunglasses.
??There is also a magnifying glass in my arms. Just for show. When necessary, you can take it out and pretend to appraise antiques.
Take care of yourself.
Go ashore. Walk along River Street.
There are all kinds of foreign companies next to it. Very impressive.
?These foreign companies are not selling ordinary daily necessities. It''s bulk cargo.
Almost all related to arms.
?Warlords from various places who want arms often send people here to negotiate.
There are so many foreign companies behind them, including Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Russia, Japan, Spain, Italy, Belgium...
There is always one that suits you. However, it is impossible to get high quality and low price.
No matter which country the arms are from, the price is very high. This is the unspoken rule of the entire industry.
The shell gun is a typical example.
If it is sold at cost price, it can be up to 100 oceans.
However, after coming to China, formal channels often cost 300 yuan. That''s crazy.
?However, at that time, warlords in China were in urgent need of arms. So they paid for them one after another regardless of the high price. A lot of wealth was given to foreigners.
Because the profits from arms were too tempting, some people secretly smuggled them. The price is relatively cheap.
Especially those selling second-hand arms are particularly active.
After the end of World War I, a large number of old rifles were sold to China.
?Now more than 20 years have passed, and those old rifles have been worn out.
"boss."
Suddenly someone reminded me.
Zhang Yong followed the opponent''s fingers and looked over.
I saw a person **** under the lamppost in front of me. Seems like a public display?
?Go up and look. I found a sign hanging on it. It turned out to be a thief.
It should have been done by the concession patrol.
The punishment is that simple. rough. brutal.
Pretend not to see it.
He is now from Yongchang Pawnshop. Not a high-ranking inspector general.
The title of subordinates has also changed from commissioner to boss.
Keep moving forward.
Discovered a lot of gold marks. There are also a lot of weapon symbols. There are also lots of station logos.
Sure enough, there is really everything in the concession.
There are even several yellow dots.
Sure enough, everyone in the world has something in common. Reds are everywhere.
Finally found the Bajiao Temple.
It turned out to be behind the French club. It''s a place name.
There is no temple. It''s just a place name. There is a road sign.
There was a black car parked next to it. Don''t know what brand it is. Maybe a French car?
There is also a gold mark inside the car.
There was a Frenchman standing beside the car. Smoking. Very impatient.
It should be him. Zhang Yong came up.
Speak in Japanese. "Are you going to ship the goods? I''m from Yongchang Pawnshop..."
“How long do you want me to wait?”
?The Frenchman became irritable again. Chatty.
Zhang Yong tilted his head and looked at the other party. His eyes were equally unhappy.
"We came from Wuchang." He interrupted the Frenchman coldly.
“You are not on time...” The French were full of complaints.
“What kind of goods? Take it out and have a look.”
“The price was agreed upon last time. After you sell it, you must pay it in time.”
“Look at the goods.”
Zhang Yong was too lazy to make noise with the other party.
You don’t have time, and I don’t have time even more. This is totally a side mission, okay.
“There are three items this time…”
“Look at the goods.”
“This way.”
??The Frenchman opened the car door. Take out a wooden box from inside.
The wooden box is about two feet long. One foot wide. It seems very heavy.
“Put it on the ground.”
"good."
?The Frenchman looked around warily.
After making sure there was no one else, put the wooden box down.
Then open.
The inside is made of thick silk. Dark red.
Unfold the red silk cloth layer by layer. Zhang Yong''s eyes finally flickered.
Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat?
On top is a golden Buddha statue.
The bottom is the blue field jade base? Or Hetian jade?
Authentic?
Fake?
It seems to be the Golden Buddha on the Emerald Seat?
He seems to have captured it once before. They look similar.
?However, this time it’s bigger. Frenchies need both hands to hold. At first glance, it looks very substantial.
Awesome. These French guys actually got such a treasure.
What is this called?
Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat plus?
right…
The Golden Buddha on the Amyrlin Seat, Plath edition. More valuable than the previous one.
Matt. This is also a national treasure!
It actually fell into the hands of the French.
Whatever...
Collect it first and then talk about it.
Once it is in your own hands, it is yours.
“At least ten thousand dollars.”
"What?"
“At least ten thousand dollars!”
"good."
Zhang Yong agreed.
?It turns out that the Amyrlin Seat Golden Buddha plus only costs 10,000 US dollars!
?It seems to be quite cheap.
Subsequently I realized something was wrong.
That’s ten thousand dollars in this era!
Equivalent to tens of thousands of oceans. Can be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of francs.
To the French, this thing is just a piece of appreciation, far less valuable than hundreds of thousands of francs.
The most important thing is that its origin should be illegal. It cannot be exposed.
If you want to take action, you can only find underground channels. Naturally the price will not go up.
“What else?”
“This, you can see for yourself.”
"good."
Zhang Yong walked over.
Found a large piece of jade.
To be precise, it is jadeite.
There is emerald inside. The condition seems to be good. But it hasn’t been refined yet.
“This is not worth the money.”
“Five hundred dollars.”
“Can’t afford it.”
“Four hundred and five.”
"don''t want."
Zhang Yong refused.
Except gold and silver. He wants nothing else.
It is difficult to find buyers for diamonds, jade, etc. He''s not really a pawnbroker. There is no such channel.
“Look at this again.”
"good."
Open a sack next to it.
Discovery is a bright weapon. They are funerary objects dug out of the ground.
?Zhang Yong had seen a lot of this kind of thing when he was dealing with the Sophora Agency before. After a cursory glance, I thought it was not worth the money. So he shook his head.
"don''t want."
"Why?"
“Not worth anything.”
“Two pieces, four hundred dollars.”
"don''t want."
“This was dug out from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in China.”
"don''t want."
Zhang Yong still refused.
It doesn’t matter what the imperial mausoleum is. No, just don’t.
??The French guy suddenly became unhappy.
He thought for a while and suddenly said: "You are Japanese."
“That’s right.” Zhang Yong nodded.
“Then I’ll give you some information. It’s only five hundred dollars. These two treasures are given away for free.”
“What information?”
Zhang Yong narrowed his eyes.
??This French guy is still selling information?
Are they colleagues?
hehe.
“You Japanese have high-level spies in your navy.”
"evidence."
“The location of your navy’s aircraft carriers has been leaked.”
"evidence."
“Kaga. The location has been exposed.”
"evidence."
“Someone sent a telegram revealing the exact location of the Kaga.”
"evidence."
Zhang Yong repeated a word.
??This French guy still wants to deceive people. When was this information obtained?
??If the other party is from the French intelligence service, it can only mean that the other party is really stupid.
?Such a slow response.
No wonder I will be attacked by Mustache in the future.
“You don’t believe it?”
“First, I have to determine your identity.”
“I am from the French Military Intelligence Service. My name is Connade. My superficial identity is the Assistant to the Public Directorate.”
“Mr. Connaird, we have known the information you mentioned for a long time. Unfortunately, this information is worth less than five hundred dollars.”
"Then you want to know how the intelligence was leaked? Who is the spy?"
"Of course I do. We are investigating internally. But, Mr. Connaird, I don''t think you have access to the secrets."
“I have a secret channel.”
?Connade looks mysterious. Zhang Yong suddenly wanted to laugh.
?He can be sure that this Conrad is definitely an amateur. What military intelligence agency, nonsense.
Does France have a military intelligence agency? Haven''t heard of it.
Furthermore, Catherine never mentioned it. She never mentioned the French spies.
Either, not at all.
Either, the French are self-contained and do not communicate with the outside world.
In this case, then...
Mainly anti-customer.
“Mr. Connaird, have you heard of His Highness Yongren of the Empire of Japan?”
“It seems that there is such a person.”
“If I say that His Highness Yongren wants to replace the current emperor, are you French people interested in supporting him?”
“Oh, you mean, he wants to overthrow the current emperor?”
"Yes."
“So, who are you?”
“Of course he is the one who actively promoted Yongren to replace the emperor.”
“Push?”
“Yes. The initiative is in our hands.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Of course we will provide you with the help you can.”
“I’m sorry, we French have no interest in this matter.”
"real?"
“That’s right. We’re not interested.”
?Conrad refused flatly.
As if to counter Zhang Yong''s attitude just now.
Zhang Yong doesn’t care.
The opportunity has been given to you. You French people don’t appreciate it!
Handsou again.
Also arrogant.
I really thought I was invincible!
