Director Sun asked the behind-the-scenes commander for compensation, but of course Xu Qiang didn't know.

He is now calling Wang Hanlin.

"Vice President Wang, I am more interested in one of the items and want to buy it now, can you help me contact the seller?"

Xu Qiang thought very clearly, if he was really a fisherman, he would definitely not agree to buy and sell privately, and only by taking it to the auction could he catch more fish, bigger fish.

"The auction company is responsible for collecting the lots, and the antiques association is only responsible for appraisal and auxiliary publicity, and the association does not know the information of the auction provider. Wang Hanlin simply refused.

Xu Qiang frowned slightly, he didn't believe it at all.

According to his speculation, a considerable part of the auction items in the auction should be provided by the antique association, how could the antique association not have information?

Wang Hanlin rejected him, just didn't want to help him.

Xu Qiang was not too disappointed, because this call was just a temptation.

Then he called Wei Qinghai and asked Wei Qinghai to help.

Contact the auction house that works with the Antiques Association and dig up the seller's information.

"Brother Xu, I have already found the seller, and asked the people from the auction house to contact him yesterday, but the seller does not agree to trade privately at all!" When he went to work the next day, Wei Qinghai called Xu Qiang.

Xu Qiang nodded, confirming their guess.

The appearance of the small wooden box is likely to be someone fishing.

It is normal not to agree to a private transaction, and the other party wants to catch a big fish.

"What is the identity of the seller?"

"I don't know, the other party should be a fake identity, and he has a lot of experience, when he passed by the camera, he used his hat to cover his face, and his face was not photographed at all, according to the people at the auction house, it should be a foreigner in his forties, blonde hair ......," Wei Qinghai said on the phone.

All he could provide was information from the auction house.

However, the practitioners of the auction house are just ordinary people, and they are also observed from the perspective of ordinary people, and the information provided is not of much value.

The only valuable news is probably that the seller is a foreigner.

Of course, there are too many foreigners in Huaxia now, and in slightly larger cities, you can often encounter them on the street, and just such a feature is not enough for Xu Qiang to lock the target.

He needed more detailed information, a more accurate description of his appearance.

"Okay, it's okay if you don't agree to a private transaction, I want to see the small wooden box with my own eyes, do you have a way?" The seller actually has rich experience, which makes Xu Qiang more and more sure that the other party is fishing.

Let him be more and more cautious, he will never be caught by a fish.

Wei Qinghai told Xu Qiang that it was okay to go directly to the auction house.

After all, he is the boss of Bingcheng, even if the auction house has a strong background, he has to give him three points of face, and there is no problem at all when he enters the vault to look at the auction items.

At noon, Xu Qiang came to the auction house.

It is one of the three large auction houses in Ice City, and there are people waiting for it for a long time.

"Hello Mr. Xu, my surname is Hou, you can call me Xiaohou!" Xu Qiang was greeted by a man in his thirties, who was stronger than Xu, but he called himself Xiao Hou in front of Xu Qiang.

"I'm sorry for you!"

"It's not troublesome at all, you come with me, I'll take you to the underground vault!" said that, Manager Hou led the way in front and came all the way to the underground.

Along the way, Manager Hou smiled and was a very talkative person.

"I'm going to enter the underground vault before the guests enter, and the chairman's order has arrived, right?" When I came to the underground vault, I saw that it was heavily guarded.

The security personnel in charge of guarding the guard, after checking the identity of Manager Hou, let him go, but as for Xu Qiang, they didn't check it at all. Apparently someone said hello, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth.

"Mr. Xu, do you know our chairman?" while waiting for the door of the vault to open, Manager Hou asked Xu Qiang in a low voice.

"I don't know!" Xu Qiang looked at the door of the safe.

It is built according to the security level of the bank vault, and even if the average person comes, he will not be able to open the door at all, let alone break in.

The heavy gate is simply not broken by the ordinary way.

"The security level is not bad, but it can't stop me!" Looking at the style of the gate, Xu Qiang quickly knew that he couldn't stop him.

He had previously carried out a mission abroad to take out a dangerous item from the underground vault of a rich man, and the insurance measures of that rich man's vault were among the best in the world.

The security level is at least two levels higher than the auction house vault in front of him, but Xu Qiang went in and took out the things he wanted to take out smoothly.

But the rich man didn't notice it at all, and it wasn't until he took another item three days later and entered the underground vault that he found out that something had been stolen.

But it's been three days, and Xu Qiang is already safe.

The vault in front of him, although the scale is larger than the vault of the rich, but the security level is lower, of course, it is not in Xu Qiang's eyes.

It's just that there is no need to break in, only through Wei Qinghai's relationship.

"But the chairman personally explained it!"

"People I know in the past know your chairman!"

As the two spoke, the door to the vault had already opened.

The people who entered the vault were not only Xu Qiang and Manager Hou.

Two other security personnel entered after them.

"It's in this safe!" quickly came to a safe.

Manager Hou opened the safe and took out a box on the upper floor.

When I opened it, it was the wooden box that Xu Qiang wanted to see.

"What a rich aura......" Xu Qiang opened his ghost eyes and saw that the rich aura was almost substantial, making him decide at a glance that the small wooden box must be what the falcon wanted.

Even if the tortoiseshell folding fan he got yesterday was worth at least 100 million, the intensity of his aura was far inferior to this small wooden box.

Xu Qiang put on his gloves and picked up the small wooden box to watch.

It's heavy!

The small wooden box is only a little bigger than a fist, even if it is made of gloomy wood, it should not be too heavy normally, but Xu Qiang holds it in his hand and feels that the weight is at least more than 50 catties.

Even if it's a solid piece of iron, it's that heavy at most, right?

"Be careful, it's heavy!" Seeing Xu Qiang reach out and pick it up, Manager Hou, who knew the weight of the small wooden box very well, reminded Xu Qiang while stretching out his hands under Xu Qiang's hands.

Prevent Xu Qiang from getting out of his hands so that they can catch it as soon as possible.

The two security guards who followed up stared at the two behind them, and they were preventing them from carrying private goods.

Whether it's bringing things in or taking things out inside, it's not allowed without approval.

"Why is it so heavy, do you know what the reason is?"

"I don't know, there are more than a dozen experts who have identified it, but none of the experts have given an answer, we have even used a metal detector to detect, but there is no metal reaction, indicating that there is no heavy metal in it!" Manager Hou saw that Xu Qiang showed no signs of missing, so he withdrew his hand and answered Xu Qiang's question.

Don't understand the inspection?

Xu Qiang's true element output, trying to detect the internal structure of the wooden box.

But to his disappointment, Zhenyuan couldn't penetrate the wooden box at all.

However, under normal circumstances, the True Element is capable of penetrating wood.

After careful inspection and confirmation, every detail of the small wooden box was written down by Xu Qiang, but there was no valuable gain.

Helpless, Xu Qiang could only put down the small wooden box.

was put back in place, and then left the underground vault with Manager Hou.

"Does the seller not agree to the current transaction?" asked Xu Qiang.

"It turned out that he didn't agree, but after the chairman agreed to let you enter the vault, the seller actually called and said that you can trade privately, as long as anyone can come up with 5 billion, you can trade immediately!"

The price is 5 billion, and he has also worked in the auction house for so many years, and he has never encountered it, which is really a bit of a lion's mouth.

In his opinion, unless he is a fool, and he is a fool at the level of the richest man, no one will pay 5 billion to buy a wooden box.

"It's indeed a bit expensive!" Xu Qiang nodded.

There are very few people who can come up with 5 billion at once.

Even those who are at the top of the domestic rich list are difficult to come up with 5 billion at once, because most of their assets are fixed assets, not liquidity.

Xu Qiang left the auction house and immediately contacted Zuo Hawkeye.

Small wooden boxes appear at auction, and they are open to the public.

This matter couldn't be hidden from Zuo Hawkeye, so Xu Qiang decided to report in advance to see what Zuo Hawkeye's reaction was, so he could prepare in advance.

An hour later, the two met at a café.

The last time we met, Left Hawkeye was dressed up as a woman at the bar, a little older, and this time she was dressed up as a man in the prime of life.

"No matter how powerful your makeup skills are, it is impossible to change your aura!" Facing Zuo Hawkeye, who made a code, Xu Qiang smiled coldly in his heart.

He now has a magical ghost eye, and when he recognizes a person, he can identify it through his aura, and no matter how subtle his makeup is, it is useless.

"What's the matter with me in such a hurry?" asked Hawkeye.

"Look at this ......," Xu Qiang opened the homepage of the Antique Association's website.

Find the auction section and find the introduction page of the small wooden box.

Seeing the small wooden box, Zuo Hawkeye was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, he didn't know the news, so he was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, he also told Xu Qiang that the small wooden box is very important.

"You go and shoot it down!" thought for a moment, and Left Hawkeye commanded.

"I need funds!"

"How much do you need?" When the falcon performs a mission, it will provide a sum of money in advance to the person performing the task according to the requirements of the mission, rather than the person performing the task in advance.

If you don't have enough money in your mission, you can request more funding.

Of course, there is no unlimited application, because there is a special department in Falcon that will review the expenditure of funds by the people who carry out the mission.

Xu Qiang was temporarily requisitioned, and of course there was no pre-allocation of funds.

"I once asked the auction house, you can complete the transaction privately, the seller wants 50 billion, if you want to get the small wooden box now, you can directly mobilize 50 billion, if you participate in the auction normally, I estimate that at least 10 billion will be prepared, provided that only we know the secret of the small wooden box, otherwise we have to prepare more funds!"

"50 billion?" Zuo Hawkeye frowned.

Falcon is not a rich and oily organization, if it is said to do its best and can come up with 5 billion, it will definitely affect the normal operation.

"Can't you think of a way?" Zuo Ying looked at Xu Qiang.

"It's not that I don't want to move, but there is information about the small wooden box, I know too little to move!" Xu Qiang looked at Zuo Hawkeye.

Left Hawkeye must know more about the small wooden box.

"I'll ask the headquarters immediately, you pay close attention to the news of the small wooden box, wait for me to inform!"
