Chapter 1799 Bad News(2/4)
"In a certain way, Mr. Batu and I still have something in common, that is, we still have a common language when it comes to women's aesthetics."
With a slight smile, Ye Huang looked at Nicholas Batu in front of him and continued.
"Master Batu, to be honest, we don't have too much grudge against you, and I have no intention of turning against your family. Rather than messing up the relationship between the two because of some trivial matters, I think we should maintain a good relationship.
Relationships are beneficial to everyone, what do you think?"
Based on Ye Huang's personal wishes, he really didn't want to be at odds with Nicholas Batu in front of him. After all, the so-called bad relationship between the two was simply because of Mia.
However, now that the deal is done, Mia has become his wife, and then stalemate the relationship, in his opinion, it is not the behavior that a child of a big family should have.
It's just that it's hard for Ye Huang to guess how Nicholas Batu will choose in front of him.
If the other party is really stubborn, he doesn't mind confronting the other party. After all, not wanting to do something doesn't mean he is afraid of a certain outcome.
Although the Nicholas family is powerful, it is only a small arms dealer, and it is just an arms dealer.
"It seems to make sense." He nodded, "I have no intention of fighting to the death with Mr. Ye, but Mr. Ye came today and never revealed his true purpose. This made Batu a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should do it or not.
I believe what Mr. Ye said."
"You know, there are some people in this world who tell lies and look more genuine than they tell the truth."
"It seems that Mr. Batu still doesn't believe Ye's words?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, I really can't believe it!"
"Why?"
"You know it yourself!"
"Mr. Batu, if you believe in God, will you also follow the Zen of Buddhism?"
Nicholas Batu's answer made Huang Ye startled for a moment, and then he gave a rather helpless smile.
There was somewhat of a tacit understanding between the two of them in their answers, but there was more than enough tacit understanding, but the content was blank.
After all, in Batu's opinion, Emperor Ye never told him the true purpose of coming.
However, Ye Huang felt a little helpless here. Didn't he come just for the few pieces of blue and white porcelain placed on the rosewood tables around the hall?
To be more precise, isn't it just for those pieces of porcelain brought out from the Forbidden City?
"Sorry, I only believe in myself, not God, let alone bald donkeys!"
"Bald donkey? Haha, Mr. Batu, what you said does mean something. Could it be that you have been deeply hurt by the so-called bald donkey in your mouth?"
When he heard that the other party called the so-called Buddha a bald donkey, Emperor Ye was also a little surprised. There are really many fearless people in this world who dare to use any name indiscriminately.
"Put down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. Do you think these bald donkeys have good intentions?"
With a hint of amusement, Nicolas Batu looked at Ye Huang and said something that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic between the two of them, but actually had a lot to do with it.
Chapter 1797
"Haha, from the perspective of your family, these so-called bald donkeys do not have any good intentions. On the contrary, Allah is obviously much more friendly."
With a shallow smile, Ye Huang finally understood the other party's seemingly meaningless words, but in fact they meant something.
Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately, wouldn't it be contrary to the Nicholas family as arms dealers?
If you put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, then who will I sell my arms to?
On the contrary, Allah in the Islamic region is obviously more in line with Nicholas's taste on certain issues.
This is also the reason why arms have been slow to sell in countries that believe in bald donkeys, but are extremely popular in countries that believe in Allah.
"Master Ye is a sensible person."
"You're welcome, this is the essence of the matter. It's like a three-year-old child's brain teaser. It tests reaction ability, not IQ."
He smiled faintly and said, "It's getting late, so Ye has to take his leave."
"Master Ye is unwilling to reveal the true nature of his coming here after all?"
"I've been saying this all along, but Mr. Batu always seems to think that Ye has some other unknown purpose."
Ye Huang spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face.
I have been telling the truth, what else do you want me to do?!
"In this case, I'm worrying too much, please!"
With that said, Nicholas Batu no longer bothered.
"Thank you! Mr. Batu, as I said before, if possible, Ye is willing to exchange other items for the blue and white porcelain and paintings in your family's hands."
Nodding, Ye Huang smiled and immediately turned around and entered the car.
The car started and slowly headed towards the manor.
However, when the car reached the gate, it was stopped again. From behind, Nicholas Batu slowly walked over.
"Master Batu, what does this mean?"
In the car, Ye Huang stuck his head out and asked with some confusion.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Tuoba, who had been silent, had half a finger protruding from his sleeve.
"Haha, it's nothing. Since Mr. Ye really wants a few pieces of blue and white porcelain, Batu can't really be so stingy. As Mr. Ye said, I have no real conflict with you. Just a few unattractive utensils.
To a friend."
While smiling and talking to Ye Huang, Nicholas Batu waved his hand, and the attendants behind him rushed over carrying several pieces of blue and white porcelain.
In the car, Emperor Ye was a little surprised when he saw this scene and got out of the car immediately.
"Master Batu, this makes Ye a little ashamed. I have some hand-painted paintings by Van Gogh that I just found a few years ago. I will definitely send them to you that day."
"Oh? The original work of Van Gogh?"
Ye Huang's words made not only Nicholas Batu shocked, but also the eyes of some of the attendants behind him suddenly widened.
In the Western antique world, there are two masters whose works are hard to come by. One is the work of Van Gogh, and the other is the painting of Picasso.
Authentic works by these two people always fetch sky-high prices every time they are discovered, and they are rare to find.
This is especially true for Van Gogh's works. A pair of sunflowers and a starry sky allow people to see their transcendent status in Western art festivals.
At this moment, Ye Huang suddenly said that he would exchange for Van Gogh's paintings. Even Nicolas Bartle was surprised.
"nature!"
Nodding, Emperor Ye smiled endlessly.
"Then Young Master Ye is going to make a big loss this time."
Perhaps because of the other party's approval, Nicholas Batu's mood improved a lot.
He didn't know if Ye Huang had inquired about some of his hobbies. In short, the other party did what he wanted and brought Fan Gao out, which indeed played into his own hands.
Nicholas Bartle doesn't care much about so-called works of art and antiques, and it can even be said that he has no interest at all.
But this is an exception for Van Gogh's works.
It's not that he likes it very much, but because his grandfather is the current patriarch of the Nicholas family.
An old man who is obsessed with Van Gogh's works!
Nicholas Bartle wanted to take the position of the family patriarch as soon as possible, and all he had to do was to do what he wanted.
"It doesn't matter, you and I can each get what we need. As for the value of the thing itself, we each see it from a different perspective."
"Young Master Ye is so generous! Come here, bring the pair of blue and white porcelain vases in the living room to Mr. Ye."
Nicholas Batu's words directly caused Ye Huang, who had remained calm at first, to tense up slightly. His whole body suddenly became a little nervous. After a while, he returned to normal.
Ye Huang's action naturally did not escape Tuoba in the car, but for ordinary people Nicholas Batu, his perception was obviously not that sharp.
Everything still seemed very calm, and several pieces of blue and white porcelain were brought to Emperor Ye one after another.
With a bit of performance and a bit of sincerity, Ye Huang reached out and rubbed his hands on several pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, full of affection.
His mouth was filled with tsk-tsk.
Especially when he touched the last pair of Bibo bottles presented to him, Ye Huang's obsession reached its peak and he was filled with admiration.
After some acting, Ye Huang didn't care whether Nicholas Batu saw any clues and took back his hand.
"Master Batu, I will replace these objects with two paintings by Van Gogh and a painting by Cézanne. Do you like it?"
"Master Ye is generous!"
"No, these treasures are not worth mentioning to Mr. Batu, but they are treasures to me in China. Three paintings were exchanged for dozens of artifacts, and I got a big advantage."
"It's nothing. The converted value of these things is actually much less than what Mr. Ye mentioned. Logically speaking, I took advantage."
"Haha, Mr. Batu is too polite. Otherwise, if Mr. Batu is worried, these items will be temporarily stored in your place. After I go back, I can take the paintings and come back to exchange them?"
"No need, I, Batu, can still trust Mr. Ye's character. I believe Mr. Ye cannot ruin his reputation just for a few things."
"That's true, so this time Ye came back with the treasure first?"
"Please!"
