Chapter 360 If you want to survive, sign
The craftsmanship of this jade Buddha is simply amazing, with every line flowing and natural, as if it were a living thing.
The material of the jade Buddha also appears to be top-notch, exuding a warm and mysterious luster, and the sense of age seems to permeate every texture of the jade Buddha.
Then, a fiery light flashed in his eyes, a light intertwined with greed and desire.
He had seen countless treasures in his many years of smuggling antiques, but a jade Buddha like this one, which was made of top-notch craftsmanship and materials, was extremely rare.
He felt his heartbeat quickening, as if the jade Buddha was already in his pocket and he couldn't wait to take it for himself.
When the people around saw Bellamy's reaction, they were also attracted by the jade Buddha. There was amazement in their eyes, but they were more concerned about Bellamy's reaction. After all, Bellamy's attitude determined the position of this mysterious Qi Tongwei in the group.
Bellamy cleared his throat and tentatively asked Qi Tongwei, "Mr. Qi, how much do you want for this jade Buddha?"
Qi Tongwei smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to think for a while, then said slowly: "Thirty million."
Bellamy was stunned when he heard the number.
His eyes widened, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Qi Tongwei, and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure? You won't regret it?"
In his opinion, the value of this jade Buddha is far more than that, and the highest price he could offer is 300 million.
He originally thought that Qi Tongwei would ask for a huge sum, but he didn't expect the other party to ask for 30 million. This was simply a pie in the sky for him.
When Qi Tongwei heard Bellamy's words, he was secretly happy. He knew that his low-price strategy was working.
He immediately pretended to be regretful, frowning and showing annoyance in his eyes.
He hurriedly said, “No, I want 50 million.”
As soon as he finished speaking, those who had been watching him closely surrounded him immediately.
They surrounded Qi Tongwei tightly, and one of them said viciously, "Mr. Qi, we're talking business here. You can't go back on your word. You just said 30 million, how can you go back on your word?"
Others also echoed and made various dissatisfied noises, and the whole scene was suddenly filled with a tense atmosphere.
Bellamy suddenly laughed and walked down from the chair. His laughter seemed particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.
He reprimanded his other men with his eyes, which contained an unquestionable majesty.
When his men saw his look, they all shut their mouths obediently, but there was still a puzzled expression on their faces.
Bellamy walked up to the Jade Buddha and gently touched it, his eyes full of love.
He looked up at Qi Tongwei and said slowly, "Mr. Qi, we want to do business for a long time. You don't understand the business, but I do."
"This jade Buddha is worth more than what you said. Even if you want 30 million, I can't give you 30 million."
"In my eyes, this thing is worth 80 million. I will give it to you without missing a cent."
His men were stunned when they heard his words.
They had no idea why the boss, who was usually so stingy, suddenly became so generous and gave them so much extra money.
One of the men couldn't help but murmur, "What's wrong with the boss? This isn't like him."
Another subordinate also scratched his head and looked at Bellamy with confusion, not knowing what he was up to.
Bellamy ignored his men's doubts. His eyes were fixed on Qi Tongwei, as if waiting for Qi Tongwei's reply.
He knew that in the world of smuggling, sometimes for the sake of long-term interests, some seemingly unreasonable decisions had to be made.
He took a fancy to the resources in Qi Tongwei's hands and wanted to win Qi Tongwei over through this generous deal and bring him more antiques.
Qi Tongwei pretended to be a greedy businessman, his eyes sparkling, and said to Bellamy excitedly: "You are a straightforward person. I am willing to cooperate with you for a long time."
A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Bellamy's lips. He was not the kind of person who was easily fooled by appearances.
He sat there, leaning back slightly, his hands crossed on his chest, his eyes revealing a cunning and calculating look.
"Humph, long-term cooperation is not as simple as just talking about it."
Bellamy spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse, like a poisonous snake spitting its tongue.
"I won't just transfer the money to you like that. We have to follow the rules."
As he spoke, Bellamy winked at the subordinate next to him. The subordinate immediately understood, took a contract and a pen from the table beside him, and handed them to Qi Tongwei respectfully.
Qi Tongwei took the contract and pretended to read it carefully, but in fact he was thinking of a countermeasure quickly in his mind.
The contract clearly states that the first transfer will be 30 million, but all subsequent transactions will be in the form of virtual currency.
This virtual currency is like a fog, elusive and full of uncertainty.
Moreover, the time for each subsequent payment is the time when Qi Tongwei will trade with him next time. This is like an invisible trap. Once you step into it, it is difficult to escape.
Bellamy looked at Qi Tongwei, and the threat in his eyes became more obvious.
He stood up and slowly walked to Qi Tongwei's side, every step seeming to step on Qi Tongwei's nerves.
"Look, the contract is written very clearly. This is our way of cooperation. If you want to cooperate with me for a long time, you have to follow this." Bellamy's voice sounded in Qi Tongwei's ears, with an unquestionable tone.
He continued, "As you know, our business is very risky. I have to make sure my partners are reliable."
"This contract is the guarantee between us. If you don't sign it, our cooperation will not be able to continue. And..." Bellamy deliberately dragged out his voice, his eyes fixed on Qi Tongwei.
"In this desert, some things are beyond your control."
When his men heard this, they gathered around him, weapons in hand, their eyes cold and fierce.
Qi Tongwei knew in his heart that this was Bellamy's routine.
He wanted to use this form of threats and contracts to trap himself tightly and bind himself to him.
Once you sign this contract, you will be in a passive position and become a puppet of this criminal group.
But he cannot show any hesitation now, otherwise all his efforts will be wasted.
Qi Tongwei raised his head, a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Mr. Bellamy, the terms of this contract are a bit harsh. Virtual currency is too unstable. How can I guarantee my interests?"
