Chapter 220 Opponent
After listening to Daozhang Luo's words, Wang Lun said: "There is no need to prepare anything specially used to deal with red unicorns. It is not necessary."
Taoist Luo was a little speechless.
The tone of this person's speech seems to be quite loud.
Wang Lun saw what Luo Daozhang was thinking and said: "Calling it a unicorn is exalting it. This thing is actually a flaming snake with horns growing out of its head."
"It is still far from becoming a dragon. Dragons may only exist in legends, while unicorns are as famous as dragons."
When Taoist Luo heard this, he couldn't help but wonder how Wang Lun knew so clearly.
However, the real name of the red unicorn is actually the Flame Snake. From this perspective, the snake is indeed weaker than the unicorn. It seems that it is not so afraid of the monster in the Yantan?
At this time, Taoist Luo heard Wang Lun ask: "Is there any place nearby where I can buy top-quality jade? It's best to buy a jade box."
"Excellent jade?"
Daochang Luo was puzzled by Wang Lun's desire to buy top-quality jade, but he still thought carefully about where such jade might be found nearby.
Jade is graded.
The best jade may not be available even in time-honored jade shops in the city, so you really need to think carefully.
After thinking for a while, Daochang Luo shook his head: "Master Wang, I can't guarantee which jade shop will sell top-quality jade."
Wang Lun then said: "Then take me to a jade shop that you think is better, and we will ask the shop owner."
This was the only way to go. Taoist Luo nodded and immediately showed Wang Lun the way.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Lun drove to a jade shop called Cathay Jade Shop in Suzhou City. Daochang Luo introduced that it was opened by a large jade group that had a shop in every big city across the country. Although it had just opened
It didn't take long, but it became a sign of Suzhou's famous jade that cannot be ignored.
Wang Lun walked in, talked with the store manager, and found that there were indeed top-quality jade for sale worth more than ten million, but they were all jade pendants and bracelets, and there were no jade boxes.
What he needs is a container made of top-quality jade. No matter what shape it is, it must be able to hold a certain amount of things.
In the end, the store manager had no choice but to call the manager. The manager searched online at national chain stores but could not find anything that met Wang Lun's requirements.
The manager was surprised. He had no idea why Wang Lun would use such a strange thing.
"Sir, a store like ours that mainly specializes in jade jewelry probably doesn't have the kind of jade box you need," the manager said politely.
Even Taoist Luo couldn't guess what Wang Lun was going to do. When going to Yantan, he might have to face the attack of the super powerful Yan Snake. Don't prepare guns, ammunition, magical weapons, shields, etc. to go with the attack.
Or something related to defense, but he only wanted a jade box. He thought that if Wang Lun didn't tell him the reason, he would never have thought of it even if he broke his brain.
"Where can I find the jade box I need?" Wang Lun asked.
The other party should be regarded as the group of people with the most information in the Suzhou jade industry, and he could tell that he was a good person, so he wanted to learn more about him.
"Sir, what you need is a jade box made of top-quality jade. The jade is very large, so the price will definitely be very high. I don't think even a century-old jade shop will have it, unless it is in the hands of a collector."
possible."
The manager analyzed.
Daochang Luo curled his lips: "I guess you, manager, don't know which collector has this kind of jade box, and our time is very limited, so we can't ask each house one by one."
The manager shook his head and said with a smile: "There is really a way."
He didn't show off and directly stated the solution.
"A special underground auction is held every year in Suzhou. The auction items are limited to jade, gold, silver and other materials. The collectors take them out and use money as a trade. Both parties get what they need.
"
When the manager spoke, his voice was deliberately lowered so that no one other than the three people could hear it.
When Wang Lun heard the words "underground auction" and "everyone gets what he needs", he made some guesses.
"This auction will be shady. Most of the items in the auction come from improper sources?" Wang Lun asked directly.
The manager nodded.
If it is an item of legitimate origin, such as an antique with "proof of identity", even if the collector wants to sell it, he will seek cooperation with a regular auction house, at least there will be no hidden dangers.
However, there are many collectors who always get something through various means that are not suitable for exposure to the light, but do not want to lose it in their hands. This kind of underground auction came into being to solve their problem.
In underground auctions, only money is allowed to be used as a bargaining chip. Collectors who want to sell things that cannot see the light of day will actively participate, while some buyers who have the ability to digest these things will be willing to take certain risks.
, bid for these things.
"When will the auction be held?" Wang Lun asked.
Underground auctions that focus on gold, silver and jade collections may actually have the jade boxes he needs.
"It's tomorrow."
The manager introduced, "It was set up to take advantage of today's private exchange meeting among Suzhou's upper-class circles. After all, after today's private exchange meeting, some guests who did not buy the items they liked will go to
Try your luck."
Wang Lun naturally didn't mind waiting one more day. After thanking the manager, he left the store.
Afterwards, he went to several other famous jade shops in Suzhou and asked about the situation, but he could not find the jade box he needed. However, from one of them, he got the same news as the manager of the Cathay Jade Shop.
In addition, another piece of information that Wang Lun remembered was that, except for Cathay, the other four jade shops he went to had a distinguished lady with bodyguards who visited them before he went there.
Pass.
And what this lady wanted to buy when she entered the store happened to be a jade box!
Because he was deeply impressed by this noble lady and also needed a very strange top-quality jade box, everyone in the store informed him of this situation when he asked.
Luo Daozhang felt that the world was full of wonders, and there were indeed people in the same place and at the same time who wanted to buy the same thing as Wang Lun.
This is not about buying toothbrushes, toothpaste, or a refrigerator and color TV, but a very special, top-quality jade box.
But Taoist Luo didn't know what the top-quality jade box was used for, so he didn't think much about it.
Wang Lun suspected that maybe someone wanted to work with him.
Maybe I will meet that noble lady at tomorrow's underground auction and during my subsequent trip to Yantan.
…
The next day, Wang Lun and Daochang Luo appeared at a resort village around the lake and came to one of the manors.
This is the place where the underground auction will be held today, but when Wang Lun and Luo Daozhang were about to go in, a sturdy man stretched out his hand to stop them and said in a loud voice: "Please show me your invitation."
As part of the security force, he does not need to be too polite to these guests, because this is a shady auction in itself. The people hired here are not good people themselves, and their tempers are not very good. As for the service,
Attitude, go to hell.
They don't need any service attitude.
Taoist Master Luo stepped forward and said calmly: "We don't have an invitation, but you can go and inform us that the ascetics from Qianfa Sect will participate in this auction."
In front of Wang Lun, he could only keep his tail between his legs, but at this moment, he behaved like a big shot.
The security guard saw that the old man dressed as a Taoist priest had an extraordinary bearing. The key was that he spoke in a domineering manner. Without an invitation, he did not say that he wanted to participate in this auction, but that he wanted to participate in this auction. It seemed that as long as he reported it, the organizer would
I will definitely agree quickly.
Therefore, he did not dare to be too arrogant. What if these two people were friends of the organizer?
At this time, a man got out of a luxury car in the back, his forehead shining brightly. He probably noticed Daozhang Luo and sped up a little. After he came up and confirmed his identity, he quickly said hello with a smile.
"Daozhang Luo, you are here too!"
"It turns out to be Boss Chen." Compared to the other party's enthusiasm and respect, Director Luo seemed a bit like an elder and a superior.
Boss Chen handed over the invitation and made an "invite" gesture to Daozhang Luo and Wang Lun, which meant that they were invited to go in first.
Daochang Luo glanced at the strong man.
The strong man quickly stepped aside without saying a word.
Since he is someone familiar to Boss Chen and seems to have a high status, he doesn't have to hold on to the invitation and just let the two of them in.
The three of them walked in and came to the transformed hall.
The hall is magnificent. The auction has not yet started. In the large empty space in the middle, there are drinks and drinks for people to drink. Many people are holding wine glasses and talking to each other.
"Daozhang Luo."
"Master Luo is here too."
"Is the master going to sell the magic weapon at the auction? If so, then I will definitely bid to the end."
"I haven't seen the master for several years. I didn't expect that the master's style is still the same."
…
Wang Lun did not expect that this deceitful Taoist Master Luo was quite famous in Suzhou. Maybe one tenth of the people in the hall took the initiative to say hello after seeing him.
For a time, Taoist Luo became a social expert and attracted the attention of many people.
Wang Lun remained calm and did not let Taoist Luo introduce him in front of others. In the eyes of outsiders, his status was lower than Taoist Luo.
He doesn't care about this, there is no need to do this kind of limelight.
When Luo Daozhang came to the bar, there happened to be a lady wearing a purple dress next to her. She looked like thirty years old, and was covered in jewels. She had an outstanding temperament and a very beautiful appearance.
However, the lady looked at Mr. Luo with cold eyes, with disdain in her eyes.
"What kind of master is this? He's just trying to gain fame."
These words reached Daozhang Luo's ears very clearly.
Director Luo's expression changed. Who is this young woman? She bites him when she sees him?
Boss Chen, who was following next to him, said in a low voice: "Taoist Priest, this is Miss Zhou who came from Jinling."
Taoist Luo was thoughtful.
When Boss Chen saw this, he nodded slightly.
Taoist Luo did not attack the lady, turned around and left, and then whispered to Wang Lun: "Master Wang, that lady is the eldest lady of the Jinling Zhou family, her name is Zhou Zhijie."
