Chapter 16: A Gold Platter
What happened to Ms. Chang's family had nothing to do with Yang Pingfan, and at this moment he and Guo Xiong were sitting in the conference room, listening to Li Suifeng assign tasks to them.
"This is the first project since the establishment of the project team, and it is also a relatively easy one. Your mission is simple, travel to Brazil, find a guy named Balacci, participate in an auction, buy what he is going to sell, and come back, mission complete. ”
Yang Guo and the others didn't speak, waiting for Li Suifeng's next words. I saw Li Suifeng click the holographic projector a few times, and a projection of a golden disk appeared in the air. The surface of this gold plate has exquisite and complex patterns, and it is strange that these lines are not as solemn and mysterious as religious ceremonies.
"This gold plate, originally housed in the National Museum of Brazil, was unaccounted for after the fire two years ago and has not been seen until recently. Half a month later, it will be auctioned along with the rest of the items that came out of the fire, and all you have to do is buy it. Now that the mission is introduced, do you have any questions?"
Guo Xiong raised his hand and asked: "Isn't it okay to hand over this kind of auction to professional business people, I'm a soldier, and I don't understand the Tao here, let alone speak English, Xiao Yang estimates that too, let us two go, this is too interprofessional." ”
"Brazil speaks Portuguese. Yang Pingfan corrected.
Li Suifeng nodded and looked at Yang Pingfan, "What do you think?"
Yang Pingfan said: "Didn't Professor Li just say that this is from the National Museum of Brazil, saying that it is an auction, I guess it is actually an underground black market, money and strength are king, I think we are quite suitable." ”
Then Yang Pingfan retorted, "Professor Li, why do you want to buy this, I don't think you are very interested in cultural relics, how did you think of buying a Mayan gold plate?"
Li Suifeng's expression was serious: "Of course, I didn't buy this for collection, I believe you have also noticed the texture on the surface of this gold plate, it is not like a decoration for religious ceremonies, but more like a precision industrial processing."
In fact, this picture was found from a tourist's ins, this gold plate has only been exhibited once in history, and it has not been exhibited again, according to Mayan culture experts, this is a Mayan sacred weapon used in sacrifices, used to communicate with the gods. Removing the mythological factor, we suspect that this is actually a device left by aliens to communicate with earthlings. ”
Guo Xiong snorted and laughed, "Boss, have you seen too many unsolved mysteries for 100,000 people, and you really believe that the Mayans are related to aliens." ”
Li Suifeng glared at him and said, "In fact, I suspect that Monsan's rapid GM technology was obtained from aliens. ”
Yang Guo and the others stopped talking for a while.
After going back, Yang Pingfan mentioned this matter to Li Lan, and Li Lan was very interested and asked for details again and again. The next day, Yang Pingfan was called to the office by Li Suifeng and scolded him severely, saying that he had no sense of confidentiality at all, can this kind of thing be said casually? Now Xiao Lan is pestering him all day long and asking to participate in your mission.
Yang Pingfan was happy in his heart, but his face showed a very aggrieved look, saying that Xiaolan is your daughter, and she is my girlfriend, it doesn't hurt to say it, Li Suifeng was silent for a while.
Yang Pingfan struck while the iron was hot, saying that Xiaolan had been in a very low mood after the last online violence, so it was better to take this opportunity to go with us, and it would be time to relax.
Li Suifeng thought about it, just went to the underground black market to buy a cultural relic, it was not a drug or arms deal, the danger was not high, and there was Yang Pingfan, an almost superhuman-like existence, so he nodded and agreed.
The next thing was the time to go through the formalities, and while waiting for the visa, the three of them also bought some necessary things. The three of them sat in the conference room that day, browsing through the materials that the company had found specifically for them.
There is very little information about Jinpan, basically similar to what Li Suifeng introduced when he held a meeting that day, but about the local folk customs of Brazil, about the Amazon rainforest and even the customs of local Indian tribes, Yang Pingfan thought about it, and contacted the half-month task period set by Li Suifeng for them, and immediately understood the father's good intentions.
"The Amazon River originates in the Peruvian Andes Mountains and traverses South America with a length of 6,440 kilometers, making it the second largest river in the world after the Nile, which is 6,695 kilometers long. But it is the largest freshwater river in the world, pumping 116,000 cubic metres of fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean every second, accounting for one-fifth of the world's total river flows. Among the tributaries, seven are more than 1,600 kilometers long, and the longest is the Madeira River, about 3,200 kilometers. ”
Yang Pingfan added: "Not only that, but the animal and plant resources in the Amazon basin can be said to be the most abundant on the earth, and now there are more than 2,600 species of fish and more than 1,600 species of birds, and countless animals and plants have not been recorded in the book."
The Amazon Basin is the world's largest primary tropical rainforest, accounting for two-thirds of the world's total forest area, and is known as the lungs of the earth. Of the more than 20,000 known species of plants in the world, South America alone has more than 19,000 species, and 70% of them are found in tropical rainforests. ”
Guo Xiong said coldly beside him: "In addition to the lungs of the earth, it also has a title, called Green Hell, which means that people in the jungle are as dangerous as entering hell. If you don't pay attention, you don't know how you died. ”
Yang Pingfan patted Guo Xiong's shoulder: "Old Guo, don't say it so scary, we're just going to have fun." ”
After a period of getting along, Yang Pingfan has figured out the temper of this instructor, although he often has a straight face on the surface, but in fact, he is cold and hot-hearted, and he is very easy to speak.
Guo Xiong snorted, turned his eyes back to the computer in front of him, and suddenly stared at a picture, his face seemed to be like a snort, and he said happily: "Look, look! It turns out that the indigenous women living in this dense forest don't wear clothes!"
When Yang Pingfan heard the news, he poked his head out from the side and took a look, and said in a strange manner: "It's very good, you can go there for a few romantic trips, you look at the text introduction below, don't be excited and don't know English." ”
Guo Xiong looked at the string of English introductions released from the information, and he really didn't know it, so he asked Yang Pingfan and said, "What do you mean?"
