Standing under the eaves of the backyard, Shi Lei still held half a glass of red wine in his hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The back door opened quietly, and Zhang Xiyue's eyes were no longer blurred, and she walked out very soberly.

Shi Lei turned around, looked at Zhang Xiyue, and nodded slightly at her.

"I'm going to Bao'an with your Titan in two days, so if you have something to ask me for, either postpone it, or I can only say sorry. ”

Shi Lei opened his mouth first.

Zhang Xiyue smiled slightly and said, "That's really a coincidence, this time the location is Hong Kong Island, which is very close to Bao'an." ”

Looking at Zhang Xiyue's sly gaze, Shi Lei couldn't help but smile.

Yes, with the ability of the pupil of the night, how could they not find out that Shi Lei was about to go to Bao'an to build branches in Bao'an and Yangcheng for the flash mob?

And at this time, the pupil of the dark night can still come to Shi Lei for help, obviously it will not be too far away from Bao'an, otherwise it will be tantamount to giving Shi Lei a reason to refuse.

"Appraisal again?" Shi Lei didn't have a good reason to refuse, and the appraisal of this kind of thing could make the Pupil of the Night owe him a sum of money, and he might also need the Pupil of the Night to help him in the future, and agreeing was the best choice.

Zhang Xiyue nodded and said, "The things identified this time are more special......

Shi Lei smiled and said, "After seeing the mural last time, I don't think there is anything more special than that." When?"

Zhang Xiyue said: "On the 7th of next month, at Sotheby's auction house on Hong Kong Island. ”

"Auction house, this thing doesn't belong to you yet?" Shi Lei was a little surprised, "This is not like your style, and you don't care about money, so it stands to reason that you should get the thing in your hands first, and then ask me for appraisal?"

Zhang Xiyue made a gesture and shrugged her shoulders, looking a little helpless.

"This thing can't be traded privately, it has to be auctioned. ”

Shi Lei raised his eyebrows, I have to say that Zhang Xiyue's words aroused his interest.

"And such a strange thing? It's kind of interesting. Why can't you trade privately?"

"In principle, this thing does not belong to anyone, so it cannot be traded privately, and its owner must be determined in the form of an auction. ”

"What the hell is it? So strange. ”

Zhang Xiyue gently stroked the hair that had fallen down, pinned it behind her ear, and said in a low voice: "The salvage right of an ancient shipwreck." ”

Shi Lei was stunned.

Salvage rights?Ancient shipwrecks?

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that this wreck is likely to be sunk in the high seas, so it is difficult to define who it belongs to and which country it belongs to?

And among the ancient shipwrecks, there must be a large number of antiques, and even the parts on the sunken ship are already antiques themselves.

"According to the information we have obtained, this shipwreck is very likely to be one of the ships of Zheng He's fleet in the West during the Ming Dynasty, according to the data obtained from the sound wave detection, there are a large number of porcelain and embroidery works in the wreck, all of which are of great antique value and artistic value. However, the location where the wreck was found was on the high seas and was discovered by a British ship, so the question of ownership is extremely controversial. ”

"Isn't the discovery on the high seas, and a British ship, supposed to belong to the discoverer according to international conventions?"

Zhang Xiyue nodded and said, "It should be so." However, the owner of the ship was a Chinese, but his ship was registered in England, which caused a dispute. In the end, the result of the negotiations between the two parties was that the salvage rights would be auctioned, and the salvage rights would be carried out by a third party, and the auction proceeds would go to the company to which the vessel belonged. ”

Shi Lei was a little dizzy, and he didn't know much about international conventions, let alone the complexity involved in this matter.

However, one thing is clear: since the wreck has not yet been salvaged, the appraisal is not on Hong Kong Island, but on the high seas in the wreck.

It doesn't matter where the auction is held, there is no real thing to see at all, and all you get is the right to salvage.

Shi Lei shook his head and said, "Your organization is not joking with me, is it? I can't see the wreck, how do you want me to make an appraisal? You don't think that I can identify the authenticity of the wreck and the value of the items on board by looking at a salvage rights contract, right?"

Zhang Xiyue pursed her lips and said: "I don't know the specifics, I am only responsible for contacting and conveying, as for the specific situation and the way of identification, the contact person of the organization's Hong Kong Island will answer for Mr. Shi." Mr. Shi only needs to set a time with me to go to Hong Kong Island before the 7th of next month, and my mission will be completed. As for whether Mr. Shek can negotiate with the Hong Kong Island liaison after going to Hong Kong Island, that is his task. Each of us has a clear division of labor and will never let us know any further information, there is only so much I know. ”

Mysterious, but undeniable, this successfully aroused Shi Lei's interest.

He smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, you can't force me to accomplish anything anyway, okay, for the sake of our many cooperations, I promised you." ”

Zhang Xiyue bowed slightly, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shi, for the time?"

Shi Lei thought about it, after the end of this quota cycle, he would have a chance to draw a lottery, because the contract between him and Sun Yiyi had finally been completed.

The lottery will often be of great help to Shi Lei's next steps, and Shi Lei decided to schedule the time after the settlement date anyway.

"Number four or five...... It's still the fifth, there are still two days before the seventh, so it should be in time. Shi Lei hesitated a little and determined a specific date.

"Okay, then I'll ask the liaison on Hong Kong Island to contact Mr. Shi on the evening of the 4th of next month to determine a more detailed time. Normally, we will send a vehicle to pick up Mr. Shek and then go directly to Hong Kong Island to meet him. ”

Shi Lei frowned, and said: "It's just to talk about the way this appraisal is carried out, why do you have to go to Hong Kong Island? Can't you go to Bao'an? Only if I promise you and am willing to help you with the appraisal, do you need to go to Hong Kong Island?"

Zhang Xiyue showed a slightly apologetic expression and said: "Bao'an is the Pearl River Delta liaison person who belongs to our organization, and if the person in charge of Hong Kong Island goes to Bao'an to contact Mr. Shi, it is not in line with the rules of our organization." Therefore, I can only labor Mr. Shi to make a trip. It will take about six hours of delay for Mr. Shi. The Organization has compensated for this. The specific situation will be clarified to Mr. Shi by the Hong Kong Island liaison on the evening of the 4th. ”

Shi Lei thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay then." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Shi. Zhang Xiyue seemed to be relieved when she heard this, she blinked her eyes, and stopped talking.

"What else do you want to say?" asked Shi Lei.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiyue said, "If everything goes well this time, then, after this task is completed, I can withdraw from the Night Pupil." ”

"What does it mean that everything goes well?"

Zhang Xiyue still seemed a little hesitant, but finally said: "First of all, I must declare to Mr. Shi that I have no intention of using the Titan factor to hope that Mr. Shi will help me complete this mission. So, if Mr. Shi is worried about this, I won't talk about it. ”

"Say it. ”

"If Mr. Shi finally agrees to help us with the appraisal and complete this appraisal, and we finally succeed in auctioning the salvage rights of this wreck, it will be considered that the entire mission has been completed. ”
