The other party was quite straightforward when Chen Yiyang said he wanted to buy what was in his hands, and directly mentioned a location.

Chen Yiyang left his luggage at the hotel and immediately headed over with a bodyguard, driver, butler, and an Arabic interpreter.

Upon arrival, he discovered that the seller was a refugee from the Middle East in Germany.

The man looked around thirty, dressed in second-hand clothes, holding something wrapped in cloth.

"Let me see the item first," Chen Yiyang gestured.

The man understood and immediately uncovered the cloth over the item he was holding.

The item was as expected: a helmet destroyed in the Battle of Tannenberg in the Middle Ages.

After a quick glance, Chen Yiyang confirmed there was nothing wrong.

Honestly, someone who couldn't even speak German risking his life to forge such a relic probably didn't have the ability.

So Chen Yiyang was quite sure that this was indeed the item he wanted to buy.

As for how a refugee got hold of something that could be a museum relic in Germany,

Chen Yiyang didn't bother to question.

Whether stolen or dug up.

Once he bought it, he could take it back as a craft piece, and no one would care.

"Ask him how much he's willing to sell it for?"

After saying this, Chen Yiyang felt a bit foolish as the question went through layer upon layer of translation.

He simply asked the refugee 'how much' directly in English.

The man decisively held out one finger.

"Give him a hundred Euros," Chen Yiyang thought the refugee wanted a hundred Euros.

But after the butler handed over a hundred Euros, the man kept shaking his head.

"What's going on?" Chen Yiyang asked perplexed.

When the Arabic translator conveyed the refugee's words to the butler, and the butler translated them into Chinese for Chen Yiyang,

Chen Yiyang finally understood that the man didn't want one hundred Euros but ten thousand Euros.

"Tell him, if he wants ten thousand Euros, we'll just call the police and have them question him about the origin of the item."

Chen Yiyang couldn't be bothered to waste words with the refugee.

If he paid ten thousand Euros, it might turn into a major news story.

If the refugee bragged about it to his friends and the news leaked, making the local news.

If the German police found Chen Yiyang, he couldn't justify his offer saying he thought it was a relic just because it looked nice.

Only with a low bid could Chen Yiyang leave himself room to argue later.

When the warning was conveyed through the interpreter, the refugee backed down, saying he'd take five hundred Euros.

Chen Yiyang had him pass the item over first and then got the butler to give the man three hundred Euros.

Though the amount was a hundred Euros less than the asking price of five hundred Euros.

Seeing the money in hand, the refugee didn't squabble further, took the money, and left immediately.

"Luckily," the butler wiped away his sweat after the refugee left.

"Good that he was an illegal refugee. If he were a legal refugee, ten thousand Euros might not even be enough."

"Why do you say that?" Chen Yiyang was curious.

"In Germany, a legal refugee family can receive about fifteen hundred Euros a month, so a few hundred Euros wouldn't impress them."

"Wow," Chen Yiyang paused, surprised.

A refugee family in Europe can earn around fifteen hundred Euros a month, which converts to over ten thousand RMB a month.

"Germany is really wealthy," Chen Yiyang couldn't help giving a thumbs-up.

The welfare here has to be seen to be believed.

"Not wealthy at all,"

Just as the words fell, the Chinese butler frustratingly cursed.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yiyang asked out of curiosity.

"We pay so much in taxes every month, and it all goes to subsidize refugees.

Frankfurt is the most famous city in Hesse, which is one of Germany's five federal states and quite wealthy.

But despite all the taxes we pay annually, Hesse's infrastructure remains the same, all the money goes to refugee subsidies.

You know, the finance minister of Hesse for ten years recently committed suicide due to the state's immense financial pressure.

Would the financial pressure be this high if they expelled the refugees?"

Chen Yiyang listened to the Chinese guy's rant, a bit speechless.

After all, it wasn't his taxes going to the refugees.

All he could offer was respect and best wishes.

Having acquired this medieval helmet, unsure whether it belonged to someone from the Teutonic Order or the Lithuanian-Polish Alliance.

Chen Yiyang returned to the hotel, casually tossed the helmet into the room.

Ultimately, before leaving Germany, he needed to act as if he thought this helmet was just an ordinary piece of craftwork.

After resting at the hotel for a short while, Luobu called, urging Chen Yiyang to come to her house.

So Chen Yiyang got himself presentable, then had the butler buy two bottles of wine as gifts, and headed over to visit Luobu's home.

Luobu's house was in a building in the suburbs of Frankfurt.

Although the building was standalone, it seemed to have some years on it.

However, the house was kept very clean and tidy.

When Chen Yiyang arrived, Luobu's father and mother came out together to greet Chen Yiyang, their Huaxia friend.

Since Chen Yiyang didn't understand any German, he relied on Luobu to translate, so there wasn't much conversation.

Chen Yiyang could only perceive the elderly couple as very friendly.

Before the meal, another of Luobu's relatives, a middle-aged man who was her cousin, came for the dinner.

While Chen Yiyang was engrossed in tackling the black beer pig hock in front of him, he overheard the cousin asking Luobu about AI mechanical dogs.

"Chen, have you seen such mechanical dogs back home?"

Suddenly, Luobu handed her phone to Chen Yiyang.

Chen Yiyang took it and saw a photo of a mechanical dog on the screen.

The mechanical dog looked very familiar.

After a few glances, Chen Yiyang recognized it.

Wasn't this a civilian mechanical dog produced by Yushu Technology?

"Are you talking about this?" So he showed the video of the Yushu Technology-produced mechanical dog on the phone.

"Yes, exactly that one." Luobu's cousin was quite excited after watching the video and asked Chen Yiyang, "Do you know where we can buy these mechanical dogs in bulk?"

"What do you want them for?" Chen Yiyang switched to English to speak with the cousin.

Luckily, the cousin's English was also good, allowing them to converse with ease.

"Sorry, I can't tell you that. But if you can help me contact this mechanical dog's manufacturer, I'll give you a broker's fee."

"No need for a fee, but I just invested in the company that produces these mechanical dogs, and I'm currently the second-largest shareholder."
