Chapter 643: Whitewashing

……

"However, this is a good way to get money!"

Looking at the scene of fierce bidding on TV, Wang Zheng touched his chin, and his face showed a wisp of thoughtfulness.

He never turned down any avenue where he could make money. However, Huang ~ gambling ~ drugs is contrary to his original intention, even if he is currently engaged in the drug ~ goods trade, it is only intended to add a meritorious service to the new government and gain more support in five years, when ASEAN is established.

But arms is different, as a profiteering industry, Wang Zheng definitely does not have the slightest psychological burden to engage in this. The most important thing is that the 'iron cattle transporter' in his hands can successfully bypass the inspection of airports, ports, highways, etc., and successfully transport arms to buyers. The difference in the middle will all be his profit. The most important thing is that as a 'second-hand dealer', he does not need to pay any costs, let alone taxes.

In addition, the neuronal mastermind, coupled with the existence of many companies under his control, especially East West Bank, makes it easy to launder these black money. Even if it is a physical asset, it can be sold on the Dubai black market.

"This is the real profiteering!"

The more I thought about it, the more reliable Wang Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he thought of the excitement, he couldn't help but whisper.

"Boss?"

Wang Gan's shout brought Wang Zheng back to his senses from his beautiful reverie. However, his attention was completely off the auction in front of him at the moment.

waved his hand at Wang Qian, signaling that he was fine. Wang Zheng clicked on the global communication terminal on his left wrist and connected it to the neuron main brain.

"Let's see if there's a surveillance system here!"

"Yes, there is a pinhole camera at the top of the room, 20 cm above the TV, and 120 cm above the back of the sofa. The cold electronic voice of the neuronal mastermind sounded in Wang Zheng's ears.

"Immediately block and modify the image for this time period. ”

"Understood!"

With the powerful computing power of the neuronal brain, it is not too easy to modify the image. It was done in just a few seconds.

"Master, the mission is accomplished!"

"Through the smart devices on these people's bodies, collect and sort out their information and give it to me!"

"Yes, master!"

About five minutes later, the neuronal mastermind provided Wang Zheng with a detailed profile containing information about hundreds of people. After a general glance, it was really an eye-opener for him. Under the cover of a mask and a black robe, there are all kinds of people from all over the world, with different identities, yellow, white and black. More than 80 per cent of them are private arms brokers. is the state of Hollywood's "King of Bad Movies" Nicolas Cage in "Lord of War".

However, these private arms dealers, although they are not as good as those big companies, their energy is not small. Almost all of them are hand-eyed characters.

"Hmm, I didn't expect it to be him?"

When Wang Zheng saw the previous buyer of the 'Satanic Blade' No. 78, he didn't expect that what he saw was a photo of Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan.

But it's not surprising to think about it, the preferences of the rich are always different from those of ordinary people.

While Wang Zheng reviewed the information in his hand, three Leopard 2A6 main battle tanks were also sold for a high price of $28 million.

The third lot was a multi-role missile AGM-114R Hellfire II developed by Lockheed Martin. This missile, which has a range of 8 kilometers and can hit armored targets, appeared 50 at a time, and was equipped with 2 shoulder-fired launchers.

Later, there were hardly any more single lots, whether it was rifles or light machine guns, all in hundreds. In small quantities, anti-tank mines, surface-to-air missiles, armored vehicles, etc. are not cheap.

The most important thing is that there are basically no defective products in the auction, so buyers are also very active in bidding. From the beginning to the end, none of the more than 20 lots were unsold.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all of today's arms lots have been sold, and thank you very much for your enthusiasm. Next up will be the beautiful artwork that we have prepared for you this evening... Without further ado, let's take a look at the first lot!"

"Boss, it's about to start!" Wang Qian reminded beside him.

"I saw it!"

Wang Zheng, who had already finished reading the information, nodded at the same time, and his attention turned back to the TV screen next to him. At this time, a beautiful oil painting appeared on it.

This is a famous painting by the famous French impressionist master Edgar Degas in the 19th century, "Ludovic Lepic and His Daughter". The reserve price is $5 million, and each price increase must not be less than $20,000, so please bid now!"

"$5 million, that's really the price of cabbage!"

Compared to the value of Degas's paintings, if they were really on the regular auction market, five million dollars would be estimated to be only a fraction of the painting. But here, even if he is Degas, it is not low for an oil painting destined to never see the light of day.

"Wang Qian, bid, 5.5 million!" Wang Zheng said.

"Boss, we also want to participate in the bidding? You must know that this is a lost collection of the Bourle Exhibition Hall in Switzerland in '08, and even if we buy it, we can't take it out for exhibition!" Wang Gan said.

"Why do you have to put it on display? I just need it to fulfill the mission of the eighth ring of the museum!"

"Yes!"

Wang Gan, who nodded, picked up the iPad on the table, and through continuous bidding, finally spent $10.3 million to win this oil painting of Degas.

This price is more than three-quarters cheaper than the real market price of the painting. However, this is already a rare high price on the black market.

Subsequently, the second piece was auctioned with a set of bronze tripods with obvious Chinese characteristics.

There are 7 bronze tripods in this group, the tripod is not large, the height is between 38~45 cm, the ears are three-legged, the mouth is wide and the abdomen is straight, and there is a group of geometric patterns and gluttonous patterns in the waist and abdomen. It can be seen from the green rust on these tripods that they have not been unearthed for a long time.

"As you can see, this is a group of bronze tripods from North Korea in the style of the classical Chinese era. Its owner is a descendant of the nobles of the Shang Dynasty in China. The Marquis of the Emperor established the Marquis of the Emperor in present-day Korea, which existed on the Korean Peninsula for more than a thousand years. It is the common ancestor of today's North and South Korea, and possibly even the Japanese. Of course, the history is too old for us to delve too far into. But this group of exquisite bronze tripods is indeed a rare bronze art masterpiece. It doesn't matter if you buy it for a collection or plan to invest in it. I believe that in this era of China's rising economy, they are all very good choices. … Well, without further ado, there are 7 North Korean bronze tripods, with a reserve price of 3 million US dollars, and each increase shall not be less than 10,000 US dollars, now please bid for those who are interested!"

"Boss, it's finally us!" said Yuan.

Wang Zheng, who was watching the TV, nodded slowly. This group of 7 shydings are all from the burial goods he dug up from the tomb of North Korea a year ago.

Because, in large quantities, it is too troublesome to whitewash them. Therefore, after careful preparation, Wang Zheng selected 9 pieces of the most valuable and most difficult to wash part of the collection excavated from the tomb of Xin Xin and the surrounding tombs, and brought them to the auction on the black market in Dubai.

In this way, he only needs to take some money to successfully clear the experience of tomb robbing. Even if it ends up causing a very bad impact on the international community, he is not afraid. After all, it is not illegal to participate in black market auctions abroad. In addition, this is not Huaxia's own artwork, and it is impossible for the country to use this to press him. The only thing you might not want to is **. But ** a country that is closed off from the country and has no international influence, how can Wang Zheng be afraid of her?

"Wang Qian, I'll leave it to you!"

"Yes! boss!"

After nodding, Wang Gan took the iPad according to the plan he had set, and began to 'shop' with the guys who coveted outside.

In a short time, the original reserve price of $3 million has risen to 4.8 million!

"$4.82 million!"

"$4.85 million!"

Looking at the staggered bidding prices on TV, and the bidding numbers that Wang Zheng was already familiar with. After half a ring, he couldn't help but frown.

"Boss, now there is only this No. 78 left to bid with us!" Yuan overbearing.

Wang Zheng nodded, and glanced at a box diagonally opposite through the bead curtain. Because of the barrier of the bead curtain, Wang Zheng couldn't see the situation, but he had good eyesight and could vaguely see a few figures from it.

"Is Al Nahyan so fond of Chinese-style art? or is he going to...!" Wang Zheng frowned.

"$5.89 million. $5.89 million once, $5.89 million twice, $5.89 million three times, congratulations to customer No. 38, take this set of exquisite artworks from **, congratulations!"

There was a wave of applause outside, but the mood of the people in the box was not very happy.

"Boss, the final transaction price is nearly $1 million higher than we expected!" Wang Gandao.

"I know. Looking at the box diagonally opposite, Wang Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "I didn't expect to eat a trip to bite the gold halfway... Forget it, just spend a little more, and a 10% commission isn't too much. ”

"Yes!"

Soon a third lot came on, a bronze sculpture from medieval France in Europe, still stolen. This time, Wang Zheng did not make another move.

He didn't want to get angry with all his stuff.

But what made him unbearable was the 9 pieces (sets) of bronzes he submitted for auction later, and every time Al Nahyan came out to compete.

Although he eventually bought all the bronzes according to his plan, the expected cost was nearly $55 million more than he had previously spent.

$55 million is almost the price of a world-class painting. Although this loss is nothing to Wang Zheng. But with so much money missing for no reason, he must be unhappy in his heart. 21010
