Chapter 259 Willing to Bid
Xu Youyou doesn't particularly like to show off, and besides, she also feels in her heart that Xie Ran is better at dealing with people.
Lu Jingyao is indeed reliable, but Xie Ran is Xu Youyou's subordinate. Xu Youyou is more willing to leave this kind of matter to Xie Ran, believing that he can maximize the benefits.
Although the staff felt sorry after hearing this, they also expressed their understanding: "Miss Xu, don't worry, we will fully accommodate your arrangements and will never make it difficult for you."
After Xu Youyou saw off the staff, he set off immediately.
This time the destination is still in Europe, but after a tour of Finland and Germany, we returned to Paris.
They used to say that this place was a romantic city. Xu Youyou couldn't help but feel angry as she looked at the system's constantly beating golden pointer.
She hardly needed any guessing to imagine that the target to be picked up this time must be another national treasure that was leaked overseas.
Under the guidance of the golden pointer, Xu Youyou's car drove for about half an hour and finally stopped outside a single-family villa.
The bodyguard stepped forward and rang the doorbell. A moment later, a middle-aged woman in her forties with a haggard expression came to open the door.
Xu Youyou could tell at a glance that this woman did not seem to be French. Most French women were very particular about their dress. In other words, they cared about appearance even if they were down and out.
The woman in front of her had her hair messy and tied back. She was wearing a dark-colored long skirt. There were several dirty spots on the hem of the skirt. Even her face was stained with the remains of some unknown food.
"Who are you looking for?" the woman asked with alert eyes.
Xu Youyou said in English: "We are here to buy things."
The woman's face became more alert: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Xu Youyou couldn't help laughing when she heard the other person's accent and said, "You should be British."
The changing expression on the woman's face showed that Xu Youyou guessed correctly.
"I don't know what you want to buy," the woman replied in English.
"You must have encountered difficulties." Xu Youyou said.
The woman in front of her froze when she heard this.
Xu Youyou actually wanted to investigate this person carefully, but the time given by the system was very tight. She had no way of knowing the target location before she saw the mission target.
The mission this time was extremely urgent, with only two days, and Xu Youyou had already been delayed for nearly a day on the road.
Although he had contacted a private detective to investigate the situation of the owner of the villa before knocking on the door, he would not give Xu Youyou feedback for a while.
Xu Youyou could only take the risk and come to negotiate. The reason why she said this to the woman was entirely based on her suspicion that she would not be able to meet guests in a decent manner, as well as the consistent morality of the system.
Generally speaking, there are two situations when the system releases a missing piece of treasure. One is that the original owner does not know the specific value of the treasure and mistakes the pearl for a fish eye. The other is that the original owner is in trouble and is eager to get rid of the item, so the price will be low.
Xu Youyou encountered the first type in most situations. She had also felt guilty in her heart, feeling like she was cheating.
But the system’s explanation is a bit of a bummer.
[People cannot make money beyond their own knowledge. If you use real money to buy real goods, and then use real goods to get real money, you deserve everything. 】
[Do you think you are the only one picking up the leaks? For those doing business, are the cost price and selling price the same? The market is inherently information asymmetric. If the information were symmetric, there would be no money to be made. 】
Xu Youyou was gradually persuaded by the systematic explanation, and could only console herself that knowledge was also wealth. Money was so wonderful that she felt guilty at first. As time went by, she got used to the days of wealth and leisure, and she couldn't go back.
The middle-aged woman in front of her was obviously struck by Xu Youyou's thoughts. She was silent for three minutes, while Xu Youyou waited patiently for her.
Perhaps moved by this patience, the middle-aged woman said: "I do have something to sell, but I have already found a buyer."
Xu Youyou asked: "Can you let me take a look at your things?"
The middle-aged woman's eyes fell on the row of bodyguards behind Xu Youyou and said, "I don't feel comfortable letting so many of you in."
Xu Youyou thought for a while: "I will go in alone."
She has martial arts skills that are rewarded by the system, and has the most basic ability to protect herself. She does not carry anything particularly valuable, and she is not afraid of the other party trying to rob her at the last moment.
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll let you take a look."
Although Xu Youyou hasn't seen the real thing yet, she feels that she has great hopes. After all, if the middle-aged woman is really sure that she will sell the thing to the intended buyer, she will not let Xu Youyou enter the house to inspect the goods.
She would do this because she was subconsciously not satisfied with the original price paid by the buyer.
The treasure that the woman wants to sell is placed in the basement of the villa.

When Xu Youyou walked down with the other party, she asked softly: "Can you tell me what difficulties you encountered?"
The middle-aged woman paused and looked back at Xu Youyou. When she saw that Xu Youyou only had pure concern in her eyes, her expression softened slightly.
"My husband has passed away, and my daughter is seriously ill and needs a lot of money for medical treatment. Not only can I not keep this treasure, but this house will also be sold soon."
The woman said, her voice choked up.
Xu Youyou hurriedly comforted her softly: "We have an old saying in China that auspicious people have their own destiny. As long as we pray with concentration and do our best, your daughter will be safe and sound."
The woman seemed to be comforted by Xu Youyou: "Thank you, kind-hearted Chinese girl."
Xu Youyou continued: "What kind of disease is it? What did the hospital say?"
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but became angry: "The hospital is a bunch of liars! They can't find out the cause of the disease at all, but they still chase me for money all day long!"
Xu Youyou paused after hearing this and said: "If the cause of the disease cannot be found, have you ever thought about trying traditional Chinese medicine? There are many excellent traditional Chinese medicine doctors in our country. If you can't cure it in your country, you can try it in our country."
The woman's eyes lit up, as if she had heard this statement for the first time.
While talking, the two walked into the basement.
Just as Xu Youyou guessed, the golden pointer of the system also fell in the basement, and finally stopped outside the huge safe.
Just as the woman was about to open the safe, there was another knock on the door outside, and her cell phone rang.
"Is the original buyer here?" Xu Youyou asked.
The woman nodded slightly.
Xu Youyou said sincerely: "Let them come in. Although I haven't seen your baby yet, I am already very interested and I am willing to bid with them."
