Chapter 407 Earl Bob

ps. Come with today's update and get some votes for Qidian 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and they also get Qidian coins for voting. I beg everyone to support and appreciate it!

As soon as Bob sent the invitation, Li Yi felt that this person was either a real senior executive of United São Paulo Bank or had another identity, otherwise he would not have any position or qualification to send the invitation.

However, the business card that Bob then handed over not only did not solve his questions, but instead made him even more confused.

Because Bob's business card is very simple, it is just a very ordinary white business card paper that is not even worth a few cents, and the content on the business card is so simple that there is only a black printed name and a string of lonely phone numbers.

Li Yi tried to spell the name on the business card, but did not read it out, because it was very rude to spell someone else's name incorrectly.

"Jacob Bob...Is this person very famous? Damn, even if your name is so awesome that you can stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, but I'm not an Italian... This 13-pack, bad reviews!"

Li Yi complained while thinking about how to deal with this scene, because he knew that although he didn't know what the name on the business card specifically represented, generally speaking, people who can have such a business card should not have an ordinary identity.

"My name is Jacob. Bob, sir, please allow me to apologize again for Meng Lang just now. I'm sorry, I'm rude."

Jacob Bob, it was indeed so hard. After confirming that there was no information about the name in his mind, Li Yi smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Mr. Bob, I'm Li Yi, I'm very happy to know you. But I'm very sorry, I've made an appointment for lunch."

Bob laughed twice with hearty laugh,

"This is normal, isn't it? However, I still want to take the liberty to make a request, because I want to ask Mr. Li Yi to give me a chance and an opportunity to talk to you about the situation of this oil painting."

Li Yi frowned. He was a little confused about the specific intention of this guy. Did he like this painting or know the origin of the painting? If it was the latter, it would be a little trouble, because the painting mysteriously disappeared during World War II. If this guy knew who the painting originally belonged to, he would be in great trouble this time. If one of them was not done well, he might even cause a huge trouble.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yi decided to figure out the matter out as soon as possible. He looked down at the time. Then he said:

"Mr. Bob, now two hours before my date, why don't we find a place to have a coffee together?"

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll urge you to get things done first."

Looking at Bob's back as he hurriedly left, Li Yi took out his phone and quickly entered the name Jacob. Bob. Unfortunately, this time, the powerful Baidu didn't help much.

This guy...

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, called out the phone number he had already dialed, and called Lan Zhu.

"Jacob. Bob... wait, I'll ask Inzaghi."

Li Yi nodded. A few seconds later, he heard Inzaji's scream coming from the other end of the phone, followed by a long list of Italian, with a very rapid tone, and it seemed that the guy should be very excited.

It's true that he's not an ordinary person!

"The Bob family is a hereditary noble family in Italy. It had the title of Earl of Alona in the mid-15th century AD and has been inherited to this day. Jacob Bob was the owner of this generation of Earl of Alona. However, it was not his identity that gave him a great reputation, but because of his daughters."

On the phone, Lan Zhu began to translate sentence by sentence for Li Yi.

"His eldest daughter married another count, and that man is now the chairman of the Italian API Petroleum Group. His second daughter married the current president of the Fiat Group. Her third daughter is the dream lover of the German Prince Albert II. Now the prince is pursuing it. It is estimated that they will hold a grand wedding this year. His fourth daughter, it is said that the Prince of Monaco, likes her very much, and even intends to let her son pursue her... Damn, this is too awesome, right?"

As he was talking, Lan Zhu couldn't help but swear, and Li Yi on the phone looked speechless and asked Cang Tian. What kind of family is this? It's so slapped like this. It's not much different from the three Song sisters back then!

"It's almost done, Inzaghi only knows so much... By the way, he also said that Mr. Jacob Bob has friendship with most of the noble families in Europe now. They seem to have formed a charity organization together to help orphans in some African countries. The identity of this charity member is very terrifying. If we can establish friendship with them, our furniture will no longer need to worry about sales..."

Li Yi nodded silently. If Inzaji had said nothing wrong, establishing a friendship with Bob would indeed help their furniture brand, but the reality is that the more extensive Mr. Bob's communication is, the more likely he will know the original owner of this "** Maha"...

Damn, I really don’t know if this bank is right or wrong.

Half an hour later, Li Yi finally completed the business of renting a bank safe. Ten minutes later, he and Earl Bob sat down face to face in an inconspicuous small cafe.

"Mr. Li Yi, I think you must be very surprised. Why did I have to ask you so anxiously and talk to you about the painting "** Maha"."

Li Yi nodded.

"Actually it's very simple, because I really like that painting so much. I hope, Mr. Li Yi, you can transfer it to me."

I have to say that this answer is really beyond Li Yi's expectations. Could it be that he guessed wrong? It's really that simple?

However, this doubt flashed through his mind, because he quickly made up his mind. No matter what the guy's real intention was or whether he told a lie or not, using this oil painting that might cause him great trouble as soon as possible should be a very good choice for him who is currently unknown!

Therefore, in Bob's eager eyes, he nodded quickly.

"No problem! It's just... Mr. Bob, you may not be very clear. I am not short of money. I don't need money. I just hope to exchange this painting for some antiques from our Chinese..."

"Oh, choke to death. I understand, cultural relics are back, right? I have to say, Mr. Li, you are really a person worthy of respect..."

Bob immediately understood Li Yi's intention, and hesitated for a moment. He said:

"Then like this, please give me some time. I will provide you with a list as soon as possible, and then we will discuss the specific exchange conditions. What do you think?"

Li Yi smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"I hope we can work happily."

“Happy cooperation.”

At noon, at Margaret Pizza Shop, Li Yi met Yokoyama and his son again. When he put the bloody finger burned by Kyutani in front of them, he saw a greedy gaze like a hungry wolf in their eyes.

"That's right. This is indeed the work of Master Abe! Your Excellency Li Yi, we really need this water finger very much. What conditions do you need to be willing to transfer it to us?"

Li Yi frowned and was about to speak when suddenly the ringtone of his cell phone rang. He gestured an apologetic gesture and answered the phone.

"What? If you want an antique desk, you should come to me? Hey, they don't know what I do, how can you not know? Will I collect that kind of bulky thing? OK. Tell them directly and let them buy it on the market by themselves. It's not worth much anyway! By the way, if you have such a thing in the future, don't bother me!"

Li Yi, who had a hint of impatient face, looked at the Yokoyama father and son who leaned forward, his eyes glowed, and his movements were almost exactly the same, and said in surprise:

"What's wrong with you? Is there any problem?"

"No, no, it's just Mr. Li Yi, does your friend need a European antique desk?"

Li Yi nodded, then curled his lips again.

"I never collect antique furniture, especially in Europe. This middleman doesn't know what benefits he has taken from others. It's just inexplicable that he dares to call me this phone..."

"No, no, it's not inexplicable at all. Lord Li Yi, you can meet his requirements and put forward more conditions, because we happen to have an exquisite and luxurious antique desk on our hands, and we are very happy to exchange it for you."

"Oh, no, you must be kidding. No matter how exquisite a desk is, how much is it worth? And this water finger is the work of Master Abe."

"No, Mr. Li Yi, you will say this because you didn't see that desk. Not only was the wood very precious, but the 78 decorative nails on it were all made of pure gold! We believe that this desk must have an extraordinary origin, but for our friendship and for this water finger, we are willing to exchange it for you..."

While Hengshan Jinglu said, he took out the list that Li Yi had seen before.

"In order to show our sincerity, Mr. Li Yi, besides that desk, we are also willing to put on another antique from your Chinese..."

Li Yi shook his head helplessly, then looked afraid of you.

"One is not enough, I want five!"

"No, you can't be that greedy... OK, two!"

"Five pieces!"

"Oh my God, you are the most greedy Chinese I have ever seen! Three pieces, up to three pieces, there is really no more."

"Five pieces! Mr. Yokoyama, in fact, this condition is a huge adventure for me, because not only I have never seen that desk, but I have never seen any of these things on your list, so..."

Hearing Li Yi say this, Hengshan Jinglu exchanged glances with his father, as if he had made a big decision.

"Hisser Li Yi, do you have time? If you have time, in order to show our sincerity, I would like to invite you to a place where you can see all the antiques on the list, including that desk!"

[The 515 is coming soon. I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list. By May 15th, the red envelope rain can give back to readers and promote works. It is also love, so it will definitely be better!] (To be continued.)
