Chapter 78 Do a big vote
Chapter seventy-eight: Do something big
Li Yan agreed to half of her conditions, but it was the main condition. So after Sonia finished speaking, she also told the second half of the unfinished part about the mysterious stone.
"You guessed it right. In a few days, there will be an antique auction in the city. And that mysterious stone will also appear at the auction. You Chinese are also very keen on collecting. In recent years, new things have appeared in China.
There are many rich people, and some of them are interested in antiques, so in this city’s antique auction, many antique dealers from other countries who have collected antiques for appreciation have put them up for auction.”
In a long history, the East and Asia, represented by China, have always been more prosperous and powerful than the West. Only after the Industrial Revolution did Europe and the United States develop. In Asia, only Japan's Meiji Restoration followed faster. And because China was closed to the outside world, it was once very
After falling behind, India, another big Asian country, was also colonized by the British. Therefore, for more than two hundred years, the center of the world was in the West. But in the middle and late twentieth century, in addition to Japan, the four Asian dragons also took off economically, but after all they were
Small countries and regions, in the 21st century, China has risen and India has followed suit.
It will take time for the newly wealthy Asian countries to catch up with Europe and the United States in terms of soft power. However, they have been sparing no effort in terms of hard targets that can be achieved by spending money. Countries and regions are competing to build the tallest building in the world and build many skyscrapers.
Buildings; individuals with spending power buy luxury goods such as brand-name clothing, luxury cars, red wine, etc. Antiques are inherently a money-burning business. Whether it is for investment purposes, personal appreciation, or to show off style, you really need to play with a certain degree of style.
level, it requires a very substantial family background.
There are more and more wealthy people in China, and many antique dealers are vigorously opening up the market.
After hearing Sonia's words, Li Yan basically understood such a general environment, but he didn't know much about the specific antiques, whether it was artistic value or collection investment value. However, his father-in-law, Zhang Tianyi, had many antiques at home.
"Do you really just want to know the trading trends of that mysterious stone?" Li Yan asked casually. He was already a little moved. If the price was right, he wanted to buy it. He had a hunch that this thing should be for
In terms of his "inner demon", there is a certain complementary effect. Maybe taking it with him can solve the problem of side effects.
Sonia hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "Frankly speaking, if we can get it, we would also like to collect it. It's just because we are not well-known in the antique world, and in fact it is inconvenient for us to show up. If we just snap up this stone
, if you don’t buy other items, it will easily make people suspicious. Once more people know about the efficacy of this stone, not only will its value greatly increase, but there may also be many chain reactions. And if you need to buy a large number of antiques to cover it up,
, one of us has limited strength, and the other one doesn’t have the investment talent and interest.”
Hearing this, Li Yan vaguely guessed that maybe Eva was just an excuse, or one of the reasons, and the real purpose was "Rose." They originally wanted to let him know and get involved!
Thinking of this, Li Yan was a little displeased. Although he didn't know what their plan was yet, he already felt like he was being used. "Miss Sonia, don't say anything superficial to me. You have gone all out to find me, and yet...
What's the purpose of deliberately praising my interest?" He thought of a purpose but didn't say it out loud. Sonia was a little surprised, but she didn't expect him to see through it. "Okay! Since it costs money, it's easy to be suspected.
, What we want is, rob! Rob as much of the auctioned antiques as possible. Even if we can’t take away all of them, we may not be able to get rid of them completely, but as long as we can sell some of them at a low price, we can retire.
, and the stone can be taken away for research reasonably, and no one will pay attention!"
Sure enough! This is a bad idea!
Li Yan shook his head and smiled: "If this is the case, I will not participate. I have no interest, and I will not do a major that I am not good at!"
Sonia looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "When someone can afford the price, they can participate in the sniper killing of four U.S. and Japanese agents. If such people say they are not interested, I generally understand that they are
The benefits are not enough to make him tempted! As long as the benefits are enough, I believe nothing is impossible!"
Li Yan shook his head, "A few months ago, something happened in the city. I don't know if you have heard of it. A group of second- and third-generation billionaires in the city held a social banquet at the Prince Hotel.
There was a hostage-taking incident at that time. The people who were directly involved were not professional terrorists, but an organization in India called Clover, which hired people including a group of killers. The Clover organization was only the executor. The boss behind the scenes may be
The purpose of some international financial giants is certainly not to extort ransom, but may be to influence those billionaires through events, affect China's image and investment security, etc. It may also be to snipe the stock market, etc., through finance and capital, to make a big move.
Withdraw money
Nia continued to help him talk! "It turned out that the Zhibijia hired by Ye Cao were all members of the organization led by you, so you got angry and cleaned up the house, personally including your people."
He killed all the first batch of terrorists, and then found clues about Clover and blew up their headquarters in India."
"Now you know my attitude?" Li Yan took out a cigarette and lit it.
"On the contrary! You also know that Clover is just a link in the middle, but you did not rush to find the financial giants who may be behind the scenes. Your actions and statements have made it clear that it was Clover who made you angry.
Organization, they dare to pull "their members to do such a thing! You are not doing it for the country's image, nor are you afraid of the stock market crashing, but because it offends the majesty and interests of you and your organization." Sonia pointed out directly.
The crux of the matter. "It's different now. No one is manipulating us, and we can distribute the benefits freely. You can bring your people. After doing your job, maybe everyone can retire." Li Yan chuckled and smoked to himself.
, did not interrupt.
Being a killer is not only because you are familiar with the profession, but also because you often kill only individuals, and they are hidden in the dark, so no matter how many unsolved cases they are, they are all individual cases. And robbery, no matter how much the final profit is, is faced with the public, and more importantly
It was sensational. The final result was that he was published by the country.
For example, let's take the robbery of this antique auction. The direct victims are a group of antique dealers, collection buyers, and auction houses. It will not be one person, but many celebrities and rich people, including many foreign guests; secondly, they have violated the city's security
The safe face will be spread widely, and the government will lose face, so it will investigate and crack down more severely. Finally, it will affect the country's image internationally, which will make the country lose face and use more force to crack down!
And this is on the premise that there are no fatalities. Once there are casualties, especially a large number of casualties, the problem will become more serious.
In general, it is more troublesome and dangerous than being a killer, which is why the help organization Cheng Yan transformed. Li Yan will not let them do jobs such as robbing cash trucks, gold shops, banks, kidnapping and extortion.
"Since you have such a plan, I believe it won't be just the two of you. There must be partners. It doesn't matter if you have me or not. But you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about whether I, a local snake, will bite you back. Just like you just said
That’s what I’m saying. I’m not doing it for the government’s image, I only care about myself. Don’t mess with me, and I won’t cause trouble for you!”
Sonia didn't pay much attention to Li Yan's attitude, and just gave a simple persuasion: "Ao, maybe you really haven't paid attention to antiques because you are not good at it and not professional. Anyway, there is still time, maybe you can learn more
Let’s take a look at the situation. In short, we have a good contact on how to get rid of it. With your participation, we will be more sure of controlling the overall situation."
Hearing this, Li Yan has a new understanding of Sonia. Her attitude is very good, but her words are unclear and untrue. She has been recorded layer by layer until now. It may be just a way for her to find that Eva.
.Perhaps meeting Li Yan and recognizing him were accidental coincidences, and doing this piece of antiques was her and their real purpose!
As it turned out, Li Yan no longer wanted to get involved with them. "You plan slowly, there's no need to include me. I'm going to check out first."
Seeing Li Yan extinguishing his cigarette butts and about to leave, Sonia picked up one of the mobile phones and quickly removed the phone inside. "This is the card you had in the phone just now. If you have a new decision, you can call me.
My number was broadcast on it." She seemed to be able to avoid suspicion. There may be a bug in the phone, but there cannot be a bug in the phone.
When she threw it over, Li Yan also caught it. Then he waved and left the hotel room.
When he came down to check out, holding the one given by Sonia, Li Yan remembered that there had been no calls since he turned on his cell phone to contact Guan Ziyi.
He thought about the excuse he told Yu Rong when he left home last night. Because of Jiang Xueyin's relationship, he said he would go out to drink later and then not go back. Like last week, Yu Rong seemed to trust him very much.
Duo Ran didn't even ask, which made him feel guilty and heavy. Because today won't be like last week. The celebration with Xiaodi last night was all on the news. Maybe Yu Rong saw it too,
Others don't know, but she can figure out what's going on right away!
Now he can only hope that she only pays attention to the financial news and does not read the city's social and people's livelihood news. After checking out, Li Yan drove home immediately. On the way, he wanted to call Zhang Yurong first, but felt that he could not
