Chapter 499 - 498
Businessmen’s eyes light up habitually when money is mentioned.
"Money is not a problem, as long as I can get the goods. However, I want to hear your method first; otherwise, I might end up paying you for tricking me."
"It’s simple. It’s not here, but we have plenty in our country, and I can easily get you one. But as you know, our domestic policy on this matter is getting stricter and stricter, so our costs are quite high, and costs need to be balanced with money."
"Domestic?" Ye Tian touched his chin, seemingly pondering something. After a while, he waved his hand, "Domestic won’t work, there’s not enough time. I only have two days for you."
"Then that’s definitely not possible, I’m sorry sir."
"Really not possible? Rest assured, money is absolutely not a problem."
"Hehe," Mr. Tang chuckled, apparently having heard this tone from Ye Tian umpteen times, "Sir, I know you are not short of money, but these two days really... sorry, we are powerless."
Looking at the photo pushed back to him, Ye Tian smiled helplessly and slipped the photo into his inner jacket pocket. He was about to get up, but then sat down again, "Mr. Tang, according to what you just said, you can get anything that’s available in this museum, right?"
Mr. Tang uncrossed his legs and spoke emphatically, "Well, yes, but strictly speaking, we’re only intermediaries. The items here can be divided into three qualities: low, medium and high. We can generally acquire items of low quality, and it’s also easy to create replicas – fakes. It’s almost the same for the medium quality, but as for high-quality items, the chances are only about half because they are very sensitive and the success rate for producing replicas is quite low and the process troublesome. If anything goes wrong, the whole chain of interests could be broken, so we usually avoid dealing with these risky items."
