Chapter 537: Priceless words from Einstein!
EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“When there’s a will, there’s a way!”
“Is that an English phrase?”
“Indeed, brother, your English is remarkable; you’ve translated it flawlessly!”
Upon opening the next box, he found a card with these words written on it. The onlookers couldn’t help but ponder the rationale behind collecting such a peculiar assortment of words.
“I recognize the signature on the back of this card!”
“Why wouldn’t you? If I’m not mistaken, these English letters spell out
Einstein!”
“Einstein, did you say?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily taken aback.
“Are these words penned in English?”
“Absolutely, it’s English!”
“Could it be possible that these words were inscribed by Einstein himself?”
“Can these words, ‘When there’s a will, there’s a way,’ be translated into English?”
“Though a perfect translation may not be possible, the sentiment conveyed remains the same!”
“The genius behind the theory of relativity?
“Did Einstein ever make a visit to Japan?”
“According to the annals of history, he did, and even lodged in a local hotel! ”
“The proprietor of this basement seems to have a remarkably diverse range of luminaries he admires!”
Luo Feng carefully placed the card aside.
This object held its value not due to its intrinsic worth, but because of the reputation of the person who inscribed the words.
Indeed, in terms of global recognition, even the highly esteemed Mei Lanfang paled in comparison, despite the fact they came from distinct domains and direct comparisons were difficult.
Even the world’s most famous playwright would struggle to match Einstein’s fame and influence.
“Are these words genuinely penned by Einstein? This is an invaluable discovery! ”
The city lord, standing to the side, was stunned once more.
He was at a loss about how to handle the situation.
Meanwhile, at the Tokyo Museum, experts had concluded their appraisal of the porcelain and arrived at a valuation.
The museum director sat in his office, captivated by Luo Feng’s livestream,
“How can one basement yield so many treasures?”
“It is Hiroshima, a city once devastated by an atomic bomb. We are yet to determine the owner of the basement, but the plethora of valuable items suggest the owner must have been extraordinary!”
The director, shaking his head, retorted, “If the owner were still alive, he wouldn’t possibly abandon these treasures. Now Fujii has invited Luo Feng and declared these unearthed objects belong to him. By doing so, the items can no longer be reclaimed; they all belong to Luo Feng now!”
“Yes, this is a considerable loss. The initial intention of inviting Luo Feng was solely for publicity, but look at how it has turned out!” Meanwhile, Luo Feng was oblivious to their concerns.
He proceeded to open the next cabinet to reveal a watch. “What kind of watch is this? It’s quite unattractive!”
“Were watches even in existence back then?”
“Absolutely, when our nation was still under imperial rule, watches were already a reality!”
“In that era, they were the preserve of a privileged few. In today’s terms, if you could afford a watch then, you could easily afford a Ferrari now!”
“It appears to be a Vacheron Constantin!”
“Is that a prestigious brand?”
“Regardless of the past, it’s still rather expensive today!”
“It may be pricey, but it’s exceedingly unsightly!”
“Modern aesthetic values should not be imposed on items from the past!”
After examining it for a moment, Luo Feng indeed confirmed it to be a Vacheron Constantin watch.
This watch likely belonged to the brand’s initial collection.
In its time, such a design was considered fashionable. Today, of course, it may not resonate with many. Without the brand’s reputation, it’s unlikely anyone would purchase it. Even as a gift, it might not be appreciated.
He opened several cabinets in succession, all brimming with an assortment of watches.
For those with an affinity for antiques, these were undoubtedly prized possessions.
With a soft creaking sound, Luo Feng proceeded to open the next cabinet.
To his surprise, it held a golden Patek Philippe watch.
The system projected the price – a staggering 20 million.
Luo Feng deduced it must be among the most coveted pieces from this brand, given the substantial price tag.
The raw materials alone were quite expensive, justifying the lofty price.
As the saying goes, when you buy a Patek Philippe, you’re not purchasing it for yourself, but for the next generation, given its tendency to appreciate over time.
“The star of the show has arrived, a Patek Philippe!”
“Indeed, it’s a Patek Philippe, timeless in its appeal!”
“This watch could be the world’s first single-button chronograph wristwatch, the pioneer of Patek Philippe. I believe it was bespoke, costing tens of thousands at the time!”

“Goodness, if it cost tens of thousands back then, what would it be worth now?”
“After all, it’s a Patek Philippe. It could easily fetch millions, if not tens of millions!”
Though Luo Feng was no watch connoisseur, he admired the piece for a while before placing it back.
His attention then shifted to the final cabinet.
He surmised that the most prized object must reside within. After all, the cumulative value of the items in the previous cabinets amounted to merely a few hundreds of millions, suggesting that the primary treasure was yet to be unveiled..
