Chapter 1366: Rich Man’s Bet

Luo Feng is willing to do anything for his family, so what does this mean?
What's more, there was one thing that made Luo Feng very dissatisfied. This old man maintained a condescending attitude from beginning to end.

He really didn't know what the other party was so arrogant about until he saw the information sent by Naizi.

Lin Naizi's call came very quickly. Just as Luo Feng coaxed Tuan Tuan aside to look at the crystal butterfly necklace, the phone in his suit pocket vibrated.

He turned his back and answered the call. The woman's usual calm voice came from the receiver, but with a hint of solemnity.

Hearing the other party's voice, Luo Feng knew that the identity of this old man might not be that simple.

"Jacob, Rothschild is a Western European energy giant on the surface, but in reality it is also one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of Black Sea Capital. Its status and funds are both very strong."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a century-old family. It's nothing to worry about." Luo Feng shrugged and didn't take it to heart.

"not only that."

Lin Naizi sighed and continued, "With his left hand, he controls 60% of the natural gas pipelines in Western Europe, and with his right hand, he controls one-third of the crude oil transportation lines in the Mediterranean through Crescent Shipping, in which he holds a stake."

"At the underground auction of Iron City Tower last month, he bought the Leonardo da Vinci manuscript for 230 million US dollars. The person behind it was actually..."

She suddenly paused, and the crisp sound of keyboard typing came from the background.

Luo Feng frowned. It was the first time he saw Lin Naizi so silent.

No matter how powerful this person is, there is no hatred or grudge between the two sides, so there is no need for the other party to target him.

Although there was a little dispute over that little thing just now, Luo Feng thought that such a big shot would not start putting pressure on him just for a crown.

"In short, this man's roots are at the intersection of the old nobility and the new capital, and he has connections in both the open and the dark."

After a pause, Lin Naizi continued: "I suggest you not to conflict with this person."

The fact that she could say this already meant that in her heart, Luo Feng’s current strength might not be enough to be her opponent.

Luo Feng was also very surprised.

Luo Feng raised his eyes and looked at the old man not far away.

The other person was leaning on a cane, looking at him with a smile, and the look in his eyes was somewhat like that of a prey.

He suddenly remembered the half-smile on the old man's face when he took out his founding shareholder card.

Obviously, the other party already knew his identity but was deliberately testing him.

Does that mean that the other party deliberately knew that he would come here and somehow arranged such a scene?
But what was his purpose in doing this? This made Luo Feng feel very strange.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this person wanted to get to know Luo Feng, so he used this method. This possibility is not impossible.

"Do you need me to investigate his connection with the Shadow Council?" Lin Naizi's voice interrupted his thoughts.

She was worried that Luo Feng would think that this person's appearance might be related to the Shadow Council.

Although she doesn't know whether there is a real connection, she should try her best to prove that the two are not related.

At present, Luo Feng has made enough enemies.

No one can predict what will happen next.

The only thing she could do was to protect Luo Feng.

"Being not."

Luo Feng whispered: "Let's first see why he came to the Iron City Tower. Since he has set his eyes on this crown..."

He looked back at the pink diamond crown in the display case and suddenly realized something.

Just now, Jacob said it was a pre-ordered birthday present, even though it was not pre-ordered, at least, that could be seen from the manager's expression.

Coupled with the Harrods' sample-for-sale mark, this statement obviously makes it doubtful.

Perhaps, this crown itself holds some special meaning?
Judging from the current results, the Shadow Council, Thanatos, and the family behind this old man seem to have nothing to do with each other.

Unless it is really proven or found out that the family behind this old man is related to the Shadow Council.

Tuantuan suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and handed him a piece of fruit candy with her little face tilted up.

"Uncle, eat it! The grandfather just now said that this candy is sweet."

Luo Feng lowered his head and saw that the old man had walked over to the side at some point and was shaking the sugar jar in his palm at Tuan Tuan with a smile.

The silver-haired old man's expression was no longer as sharp as before, but instead had a bit of the kindness of an elder.

The tip of his cane tapped the ground, making a small sound, and he said with a smile.

"Little girl likes butterflies?"

"My granddaughter also loves these fancy things. Last year, for her birthday, I asked someone to order a whole wall of butterfly specimens from Paris. If she likes them, she can bring them to my house and I will give them to her."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Feng narrowed his eyes.

It seems that this old man is a bit strange.

The strangest thing is that Luo Feng has no idea what the other party is thinking.

You know, this situation is extremely rare. In the subject of psychology, Luo Feng has already mastered it almost perfectly.

But there is always someone better than you.

Luo Feng didn't dare to be sure, as he saw through everyone.

But the feeling that the old man in front of Luo Feng gave was very different.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Feng, his eyes showing a little more depth: "Young man, it's rare to find someone who can argue for the younger generation."

Luo Feng raised his eyebrows, and calmly protected Tuan Tuan behind him, rubbing his fingertips unconsciously, thinking.

No matter what the outcome is, he would never think of offending the other party.

Just as Lin Naizi said, although no connection has been found with Thanatos of the Shadow Council yet.

But this is the best way, so that Luo Feng doesn't have to create another strong enemy.

Until the manager timidly brought two cups of coffee and broke the deadlock.

"Gentlemen, our boss said...if you don't mind, we have some aged Pu'er in the VIP room upstairs."

There is really no other way, I have to come forward.

Otherwise, the boss would not issue any orders and would let his subordinates handle the matter fully.

It’s really strange to say that the department store owner didn’t even receive any notice when the old man came here.

You know, this place has always had a reservation system.

If you really come, you can make an appointment to enjoy the highest treatment.

Then, this kind of thing will not happen.

"Drinking tea is boring." The old man suddenly laughed, and his cane made a crisp sound on the floor tiles. "Why don't we play a game? I heard that Mr. Luo is very knowledgeable about jewelry appraisal?"

For him, he has tried all kinds of tea, so this is nothing.

However, when the manager said it was aged Pu'er tea, he was just joking and wanted to ease the atmosphere.

In fact, everyone knows that the tea in this place cannot be very cheap, it must be at least a rare and famous tea.

"I don't think I'm a researcher, I just like collecting this thing and I'm happy to accompany you."

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

The old man smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.

He turned and whispered something to the manager.

The manager's pupils widened, as if he didn't expect the other party to say that.

The manager hesitated, then said, "We don't sell fakes here."

These words were full of rebuttal, as if they were clarifying something.

"Don't use yours, use mine and let yours. Just bring the things up for me."

The old man couldn't help but smile when he saw the manager looking so nervous.

After hearing this, the manager was really stunned.

The other party quickly brought three sealed safes with six security personnel.

Seeing this scene, even Luo Feng couldn't help but doubt.

Could it be that this old man approached him on purpose? These things seemed to be deliberately prepared.

Who would bring three sealed safes with them when buying something, and there would be valuable things inside the safes?

Not only that, the most outrageous thing is that there are fakes and genuine ones mixed together among these things.

Although the old man argued that he had just returned from an auction and was not in a hurry and wanted to buy the crown as soon as he got home, Luo Feng and the manager did not believe his words.

"How are you going to play? Tell me about it."

Looking at the three sealed safes, Luo Feng looked at the old man indifferently.

"The rules are simple."

Jacob opened the first box and found three almost identical sapphires lying on the velvet cloth.

“Find the only natural Kashmir Cornflower Sapphire.”

As the following words came out.

The crowd of onlookers exclaimed.

This top-grade gemstone, which costs over one million US dollars per carat, is something that ordinary people would never be able to see in their lifetime, let alone tell its authenticity.

You have to know that the people who can enter this department store are of very special status, even though many of them are people who want to spend money like nouveau riche, or people who come here specifically for tourism.

But most of them are people who have seen it, and many people now have never even heard of this thing.

Luo Feng looked at these three things calmly, without any expression on his face, but he was very confident in his heart.

As a wealthy man, he has touched countless things, not to mention the support of the system. In this regard, he naturally has his own unique abilities, which are in no way inferior to those treasure appraisers.

"Mr. Luo, you can start now."

The old man saw that Luo Feng had not moved for a long time, so he reminded him.

Hearing this, Luo Feng tapped the table lightly with his fingertips twice and his eyes fell on the three sapphires on the velvet lining.

The light shines through the glass display case at an angle, casting tiny spots of light on the surface of the gem.

Two of the artificial imitations look very much like Yiwu toys because of their sharp luster, not to mention how fake they are.

Only the one in the middle is slightly warmer, with very fine silk-like inclusions floating in the dark blue background.

This is the unique "Edelweiss" structure of the Kashmir Cornflower, which is extremely rare. Because of this, it is famous in the world as a luxury and a toy for the rich.

"The natural cornflower packaging gives off a natural, breath-like feel."

Luo Feng's fingertips were hovering half an inch above the gem. He suddenly turned his head to look at Tuantuan. The little girl was standing on tiptoe on the edge of the display case, looking around. Her eyelashes cast a butterfly-like shadow under her eyes.

"It's like when a child paints with watercolors and accidentally smudges the brush marks. It's not intentional."

He said this not only to the people around him but also to the old man.

"This one."

He pinched the bottom of the gem and slowly moved it upwards.

The gem in his hand turned half a circle towards the light, forming a flowing misty shadow in the beam. The look emitted by the gem was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away.

The wealthy people around took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the gem.

“I never thought I could see the real thing in this place!”

"The natural Kashmir cornflower sapphire is so beautiful that it takes your breath away."

"Compared to them, we are really just like the poor."

"..."

"Are you sure it's this? How can you be sure?"

The old man seemed very surprised and looked at Luo Feng's expression as if to say that he had taken the wrong one.

However, Luo Feng's expression remained firm.

"Artificially synthesized ones use the flame melting method. The bubbles inside are round, like unpopped soap bubbles, and the silk is directional, like cotton wool blown by the wind."

Cornflower Blue, a rich indigo with a slightly hazy feel, is a fusion of the depth of the sky and the soft mist of petals.

It is called "velvety texture" in the industry.

Under natural light or lighting, a uniform diffuse reflection will be formed inside the gem, presenting a misty reflection similar to that of edelweiss.

This is an important identification feature of natural Kashmir cornflower. Artificial synthetic products do not have this structure, and the inclusions are mostly bubbles or color bands.

"You have passed the first level. This level is relatively simple. There are two more levels to come. If you want to get the crown, pass these two levels and I will not compete with you anymore."

After he finished speaking, the old man's smile deepened.
