Chapter 1738 The mottled letter, the unfaithful man, the box that carries memory.(2/2)
"As soon as possible..."
Xia Shushi said, "Old Master Yu is 86 years old. No matter how good his body is, he is afraid that winter will be difficult..."
"Then let's wait for the matter here."
Wei Ran thought about it and made a decision, "I will introduce it to you when Mr. Grant arrives later, and then I will rush to Tianjin to get the things I brought back."
“Okay”
Xia Shushi said, "Don't get together, we will go our separate ways. After you arrive at the Shanghai Stock Exchange, call me, my teacher is still there. Then I will ask him to take you to visit Mr. Yu first."
“Okay”
Wei Ran nodded and was about to say something, but the mixed-blooded little Brad Downey and Grant Downey little each pushed their suitcases and hurried out.
"It just so happens that they are here, let's welcome it."
Wei Ran said, already stood up and waved to the brothers.
"Hi! Mr. Victor!"
The mixed-race little Brad seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant "unpleasantness" between Kazan and Weiran before, and greeted him enthusiastically in French. Then he couldn't wait to ask his most concerned question, "Have you found that gold coin? Where is it?"
"Sorry, I didn't find it."
Wei Ran spread his hands with a smile, "I didn't find any gold coins, but I found enough evidence to prove that the signature on the cigar is authentic."
"I really didn't find it?" Little Brad looked at Wei Ran suspiciously.
"Sorry, I really didn't find any gold coins."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wei Ran spread his hands again, then changed into his native language and continued, "But I found the relics that Mr. Grant Downey had thrown on the Chaomoss battlefield back then. Of course, these things have a new owner. As for whether they can be taken down, you still need to negotiate with them yourself. Qin Qi, help translate them?"
"no problem"
Qin Qi said, clearing her throat and recounted what Wei Ran had just said in English.
"This is Mr. Xia, the current owner of those things."
Wei Ran continued to speak in his native language, and Qin Qi continued to serve as a translator while also temporarily gave Xia Sosei an appropriate English name "Sherlock".
"Mr. Sherlock, is there a gold coin in those relics?"
Brad, a little man, asked urgently while Grant and Xia Soseki shook hands, "I'm willing to buy it for $100,000, which is already a lot of money."
"First of all, there are no gold coins in those things."
Xia Shuseki said, "Secondly, Mr. Victor talked to me about the things you entrusted him to find. Moreover, China has an Internet connection. I can find out the value of the gold coin. Don't say it is not with me. Even if it is there, do you think you can buy 100,000 US dollars or 1 million US dollars?"
When this question was asked, Little Brad's face became a little gloomy, but in the end, he closed his mouth reluctantly under the gaze of his half-brother Little Grant next to him.
"Mr. Sherlock, please forgive my brother's misogyny."
Little Grant sincerely expressed his apology, "No matter where the gold coin is, we have no interest in it. Why don't we talk about the rest of the relics."
"Please go to my house to talk."
Xia Soseki raised his hand and said, "In addition, I want to reiterate that there are really no gold coins in those relics. This is related to my credibility and Victor's credibility.
Victor and I are a fellow traveler. If I had that gold coin in my hand, the gold coin might have been sent to an auction or a museum before you find me through Victor."
"We are so rude," Grant apologized again.
"Please come with us," Xia Soshi said with a smile.
"Let's wait and take my car with their brothers."
Wei Ran suggested, "Qin Qi, how about you driving in front of you?"
"No problem" Qin Qi responded happily.
Taking these two foreigners out of the airport and getting into the car, Grant waited until Wei Ran drove the car at the airport before asking, "Mr. Charlotte, I don't know if we can buy your save...I mean, those things that already belong to you?"
“I don’t plan to sell those things”
Natsushi responded in English with apologies, "Mr. Donnie, we might be able to deal with those things in a different way."
"A different way? What's the way?"
Little Grant asked, compared to him, Little Brad, who had learned that there were no gold coins and even if there was a high probability, was completely lost.
"Wait until my home, let's talk about it in detail after seeing those things." Xia Shusei said with a smile.
"Okay," Grant responded nervously.
During the chat about the fighting experiences of our ancestors, the two cars drove to the edge of the city one by one, and finally drove into a villa area and parked at the entrance of a two-story building.
At the invitation of Xia Soseki and Qin Qi, Wei Ran and the Donnie brothers followed into the first floor.
I have to say that Xia Shushi prepared well enough that in this house filled with a lot of traces of life, there are wedding photos of him and Qin Qi hanging on the wall.
When Qin Qi poured each of them a cup of tea as the hostess, Xia Shushi also brought the photo box used by the Donnie brothers back then.
"Like your grandfather's younger brother, my grandfather was also a veteran, and he participated in that war as a volunteer."
Before opening the box, Xia Soseki said, "He survived, but unfortunately, he changed to Alzheimer's disease a few years ago. He no longer remembers many things on the battlefield, so I'm not sure if this box was brought back from the battlefield."
After saying that, Xia Shushi opened the box, then opened the curtain on the inside of the box lid, showing the photo of Brad holding a cigar and General Li Mei.
Stopped the mixed-race brother who was subconsciously pulling out his cell phone to take a photo, and Grant said, "I'm very sure the person in the photo is my grandfather Brad Downey and his younger brother, Mr. Sherlock, what kind of way do you plan to do this transaction?"
Hearing this, Xia Shushi smiled and looked at Wei Ran who was accompanying him.
"Gentlemen of Donnie"
Wei Ran said in French, "Because you may be conducting transactions, I will not participate in the next part. Mr. Sherlock is an honest collector and a friend of mine. You can conduct friendly negotiations and communications with integrity."
After saying that, he changed into Chinese and reiterated it, and asked Qin Qi to help translate.
"Okay, Mr. Victor, thank you for helping us find Mr. Sherlock and find this precious box." Grant said gratefully, "I will pay the commission as soon as possible."
"Thanks"
Wei Ran smiled after waiting for Little Brad to translate it into French, got up and left the villa that he borrowed from someone, and drove the car to the direction of the high-speed rail station.
Halfway through the journey, he did not forget to call Suisui and report his unexpected situation.
"You are going to the Shanghai Stock Exchange? When?" Suisui asked immediately.
"Together?" Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"We just talked about going to the playground over there," Suisui said, "Are you going to be together?"
"When are you going to set off?" Wei Ran asked, "Tomorrow, we will go tomorrow."
"Since this is the case, why don't I rush over first?"
Wei Ran asked, "I'm afraid I have to meet Mr. Yu first."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's okay, let's meet the amusement park!" Sui Sui said simply.
After hanging up the phone with the Queen, Wei Ran, who was parked by the side, stepped on the accelerator and went straight to the high-speed rail station.
While he was busy rushing, Xia Soseki also displayed the two photo albums about China belonging to Grant Downey and the electronic versions of the black shots he took in Chaomos.
"Mr. Donnie, this is just my invitation."
Xia Soseki, who has ignored Brad Downey Jr., said in English, "I hope you are willing to donate these two albums and these negatives to the museum in China with me."
"Then that box and..."
"Whether you like or not, the offer just now is just my invitation."
Before Xiao Shuseki could finish his speech, he pushed the box to Grant Downey, little. "As for the things in this box, for Victor's sake, it already belongs to you. At the same time, I sincerely hope that your father can recover as soon as possible after seeing these things."
"You...you want to give it to us?" Little Grant asked in surprise.
"It's for yourself, not including Mr. Brad Downey Jr., and it's an unconditional gift.
Whether you accept my invitation or not, donate the negatives and albums you just showed. From now on, this box and everything inside will be yours.”
When Xia Shushi said this, he did not care about the gloomy face of the mixed-race old man.
During the less than an hour of communication just now, the old guy not only flipped through the entire box, but also used words to test whether he had a gold coin hidden, and also questioned Xia Soseki's denial.
For Xia Soseki, he had no need to spoil the other party, nor did he need to leave him any face.
"I apologize to you again for my brother's misogyny"
Grant Downey Jr. stood up and shook hands with Xia Soseki, "Mr. Sherlock, you are an honest collector just like Mr. Victor said. I am very honored to be invited by you to have the opportunity to donate those negatives and albums to the museum together."
"Since that's the case, why not be like today?" Xia Shushi asked.
Seeing Little Grant's eyes showing surprise, Xia Soseki said, "I'm not in a hurry. For me, these things will be nothing even if they continue to be kept in the attic for another ten years.
It’s just that given that your father is seriously ill, I don’t think you should waste too much time on me.
Rather than being kind to each other, you might as well deliver these things to the museum as quickly as possible, and then return home with that box as fast as possible and deliver it to your father.
Those things may not be good medicines for curing diseases, but they can at least make your father feel better.
And I guess he actually needs the company of his family more now."
"Mr. Sherlock, thank you for your understanding."
