Chapter 386: Buying a Warship

Yang Feng, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked out of the Kyiv airport, looking at the busy streets and the blonde and blue-eyed foreigners coming and going, looking a little helpless.

The day before yesterday, he just returned to modern society and accompanied Yan Danchen and Xu Ziqing for less than two days before he had to step on the plane to Ukraine.

Just when Yang Feng was a little distracted, a tall and fierce-looking white young man stood in front of him: "Hello Mr. Yang, Mr. Vladimir sent me to pick you up." ”

"Hello, Vasily, we meet again." Seeing the person coming, Yang Feng said with a smile on his face, and stretched out his right hand to him, "If I remember correctly, you also picked me up when I came to Kyiv last year." ”

"Yes, you have such a good memory that you can remember my name."

Seeing the young man say his name in one mouthful, the young man's originally serious face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, in his opinion, the young man from China in front of him is the same level as his boss, and he is just a bodyguard of Mr. Vladimir, he just met the other party last year, but he didn't expect the other party to remember his name, it seems that the reason why people can become big people is not without reason.

"Haha...... Of course I remember. Yang Feng shrugged: "I still remember when we first met last year, just when I was standing on the street thinking I was going to get lost, a young man brought me to Vladimir, of course I will not forget this enthusiastic young man." ”

Vasily bowed slightly: "Thank you for the compliment, now please get in the car, Mr. Vladimir has been waiting for you in his estate for a long time." ”

Forty minutes later

It was still that manor, Yang Feng met Vladimir Rogov, one of the most famous arms dealers in Ukraine, who had been absent for a year.

"Hahaha...... Poplar...... My friend, we meet again! ”

As soon as they met, Vladimir gave Yang Feng a big bear hug, as a well-known Ukrainian arms dealer, it stands to reason that Vladimir has no reason to be so polite to an unknown young man like Yang Feng, but Vladimir just thinks that Yang Feng is very angry with himself, this young man is very suitable for his own appetite in terms of temperament, strength and personality, if he is a Ukrainian, Vladimir even wants to train him to be his successor.

"Vladimir, it's nice to meet, you're still so spirited!" Yang Feng also smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Vladimir's back, which made Vladimir grin his teeth, and quickly pushed Yang Feng away and glared at him.

Yang ...... You bastard must have done it on purpose, are you trying to shoot me to death? ”

Yang Feng pretended to be puzzled and said, "Oh, Vladimir, didn't you come up and hug me first?" And, as far as I know, as a Slav, it is very rude to refuse a hug from a friend. ”

"You!"

Vladimir pointed at Yang Feng and shook his head helplessly, looking like he wanted to scold but didn't know what to say, "Okay, who made you bastard so strong, I think you should go to the Olympic weightlifting competition." ”

"Hahaha......"

Yang Feng laughed: "Haha...... My friend, I just played a joke on you, and in order to make up for my mistake just now, I will give you a small gift as an apology. ”

After speaking, Yang Feng opened the suitcase at his feet, took out a picture frame about one meter long and more than eighty centimeters wide from inside, and handed it over.

Vladimir took the frame, curiously and slowly tore off the film covering it, revealing an oil painting. When he saw the painting, he couldn't help but laugh, "Oh...... Was it a painting, let me see what was painted on it? Oh, it turned out to be a woman, and she really looks ......."

Speaking of this, Vladimir's voice began to become a little surprised.

"It's ...... It's ......"

At this time, the main oil painting had already revealed its true face, and the upper body portrait of a woman was painted on the oil painting. This woman is about thirty years old, she looks unusually beautiful, wearing a black tight-fitting dress, and the neck of the dress is inlaid with various gemstones, looking noble and gorgeous, but this woman is beautiful, but her expression is unusually indifferent and tough, and she also reveals a very noble atmosphere.

When Vladimir lowered his head and looked at the string of text in the lower right corner of the portrait, his face could no longer maintain a calm expression, but began to become a little confused, and then a little excited.

"It's written in Hungarian!"

Immediately after that, Vladimir slowly recited a word that Yang Feng didn't understand, and the more Vladimir looked at it, the more excited he became, and after a while, he raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "This is...... Is this a portrait of Elizabeth Basser? ”

Yang Feng smiled slightly: "If there is no mistake written on it, the woman on it is indeed Elizabeth Basel." ”

"Is she Elizabeth, what history says is true, she is so beautiful, cold and cold-blooded." Vladimir's breathing became a little short, "For more than 400 years, many historians have said that this woman does not exist, but the appearance of the portrait proves that she did exist." ”

Looking at Vladimir's excited appearance, several bodyguards standing on the side were confused, they looked at each other with a look of confusion, and they all found the confusion on each other's faces. They have been following Vladimir for many years, and they have never heard that Mr. Fledimir likes oil paintings, how can they be so excited to see this portrait, what is going on?

Ignoring the confusion of several bodyguards next to him, Vladimir stroked the oil painting, his face was full of joy, and muttered: "It turned out to be true, the legend of Elizabeth Barser turned out to be true." ”

Looking at Vladimir's gaffe, Yang Feng didn't bother, just waited quietly, I don't know how long it took for Vladimir to come back to his senses, sighed and said, "Yang ...... This gift you gave me is too valuable, you Chinese people have an old saying, called courtesy must ask for something, you came to me this time, I don't know what you want me to do? If I can do it, I won't refuse, and if I can't, I'm sorry I won't accept this gift. ”

Seeing that Vladimir came back to his senses so quickly, Yang Feng's evaluation of him in his heart has been raised by a notch, it seems that it is not for nothing that this guy can become the largest arms dealer in Ukraine, there are countless successful people in this world, but many people are short-lived, and those who can go to the end all have a common characteristic, that is, they can restrain their desires, and only such people can go to the end.

Yang Feng smiled: "Mr. Vladimir, although you can rest assured, I did have something to do with you this time, but this matter should not be something that makes you embarrassed, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Oh...... Can you tell us about it? Freikimir said noncommittally.

Yang Feng said: "I know that you have a very wide network of friends all over the world. So I'd like to ask you to find me a shipyard to build me a few wooden sailboats from the 17th or 18th century, and if you have them in stock, you can buy them right away, I don't know? ”

"Sail battleship?"

Flekimir, who had just picked up the cigar box from the coffee table, almost dropped the box in his hand to the ground, and he looked at Yang Feng with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief on his face.

"God, I heard you right, did I? You even want to buy a sail battleship? And how many more? ”

Looking at Vladimir's mouth, Yang Feng's face felt slightly hot, and he nodded: "Yes, it is a sail battleship, and I have only one request, that is, to deliver it as quickly as possible." ”

Looking at Yang Feng's serious expression, Vladimir finally confirmed that the other party was not joking.

Vladimir thought that he had seen a lot of things in his life, but it was the first time he had seen someone like Yang Feng who made a strange request. His right hand gently stroked the painting on the coffee table, and the whole person was thinking silently, Yang Feng didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Several bodyguards standing not far away whispered this, and one of the bodyguards asked the companion next to him curiously: "Ivan, is that Chinese man crazy, he actually wants to buy a battleship, and it is a wooden sail battleship, is he going to make a movie or start a war?" ”

"Who knows." A slightly diminutive bodyguard had a look of amazement in his eyes, "But I know that the oil painting he gave to his boss is too valuable." ”

"How much is an oil painting worth? It's not Picasso or Van Gogh. ”

"You know what, it's a portrait of Elizabeth Bather." The diminutive bodyguard gave him a look that you were very idiot: "Have you forgotten the legend of the bloody countess?" ”

"Bloody Countess...... Oh, God! The bodyguard's face immediately changed, and there was a look of shock in his eyes.

The name Bloody Countess is somewhat unknown in China, but it is a well-known legend in Europe. The countess was born into one of Hungary's richest and most influential families. Like most aristocratic dynasties in Europe at the time, her family was plagued by mental illness caused by consanguineous marriage.

She was fair-skinned, unusually beautiful, cold and tough, and the most shocking thing she ever did was that she tortured and mutilated more than 600 young girls to death, believing that the blood of virgins could preserve the face of immortality.

It was not until a priest informed the King Matthias of Hungary about this that the latter began an investigation into what the countess had done. When they led their soldiers to the countess's castle, they saw a scene far more terrible than they had expected: a dead maiden lay in the foyer, and the other was dying, pierced all over her body. Others were hung from the ceiling of the underground execution chamber like digested dead deer, and their blood was poured into the place that has now become a legendary pool of bloodbaths.

In the end, the countess was not executed, but was imprisoned in her castle until she died a few years later.

This incident shocked the whole of Europe, and hundreds of years have passed, and this legend has been circulating in Europe, but as time passed, many things began to disappear into the long river of history, and some people began to question the authenticity of this event, thinking that it was just a legend.

The biggest question raised by these people was why not a single portrait of the aristocratic countess had survived if it was true.

You must know that there is an unwritten custom in modern Europe, that is, all nobles with a little status will ask a painter to paint their portraits and pass them on to future generations during their lifetime, and how Elizabeth could forget this as an earl, which is also the biggest reason for doubters.

And the oil painting sent by Yang Feng today will undoubtedly prove to the whole of Europe that this countess really exists, and the legend of the bloody countess is true, and this alone is enough to cause a strong shock in Europe, which is why Vladimir was so shocked just now.

I don't know how long it took for Vladimir to say slowly: "Yang...... Your request is ridiculous, but when you think about it, it's not a big deal. It's just a matter of buying a few sail warships, and I guess no one will pay attention to such a trivial matter, but there are not many manufacturers who are still making wooden sailboats for those who are embarrassed, so I have to think about it.

By the way, I remember a friend who was a fan of sail warships, and he had several replica sail ships, and he had a problem with his business lately, and he wanted to sell these ships, if you really want to buy them, I can ask you about them. ”

"Really?"

Yang Feng was happy in his heart, this was really dozing off and he met the pillow, he hurriedly said: "Vladimir, please ask for me, if he is willing to sell, I am willing to buy it." Of course, the premise of this is that the price must be reasonable! ”

Yang Feng's last sentence was to remind Vladimir, please tell your friend that although I urgently need a warship, you can't treat me as a Kaizi, otherwise my brother won't serve.

Vladimir laughed: "Dear Yang, you can rest assured, as a friend I can assure you that the price he gave is quite fair, and he will not open his mouth." ”

"I hope so!" Yang Feng said solemnly: "And I also hope that these warships can be delivered to me as soon as possible, and it is best to complete them within half a month to a month." ”

"Yes, I'll rush him!" Vladimir's words put an end to the matter......
