Later, the goddess took out a million huge sums of money to build a temple dedicated to the Jade Emperor in the countryside, and since then the incense has been continuous, and the business is better.

Liu Yanzhi wanted to find the whereabouts of Hu Banxian, but this person Shenlong was missing, and the fortune-telling shop next to the Lama Temple had been closed for a long time, so he couldn't find anyone for the time being, so he could only take the next step and go to the United States to settle accounts with Hannibal.

A hundred years ago, it took dozens of days to cross the Pacific Ocean on a cruise ship, but now it can be reached in San Francisco in 10 hours on a wide-body airliner.

After arriving in San Francisco, Liu Yanzhi wanted to reminisce about the past, stay in the local area for one night, and go to Chinatown to pay his respects, the old place of Yanzhi laundry is now a large chain laundry, the streets are bustling, neon flashing, and the scene of a hundred years ago was replayed in his mind, Lin Su, Lin Su, where are you.

According to the intelligence, Hannibal has been in New York for the past few days, so the team crossed the North American continent and flew to New York the next day, and domestic flights usually landed at Newark Airport, this is not the first time Liu Yanzhi has been to New York, when he was dealing with Dr. Samuel's case, he and Guan Lu came to New York and New Jersey.

Liu Handong once spent some time in New York, and took them to take a taxi around Manhattan, and when he passed by a building, he introduced: "The building in front is the property of the Chen Zikun family, and it was valued at a billion dollars a few years ago, and now it may be more ......expensive."

"How long has it been since you've been to New York?" Guan Lu said, "Is it a high-end hotel?" ”

When the car drove over, Liu Handong was dumbfounded, this building was really changed into a hotel, there is a signboard at the door, there are doormen and waiters waiting, the taxi driver is a very talkative Mexican, drivers all over the world have a virtue, that is, talk a lot, he told the foreign guests who came from afar that this was indeed the Chen family's industry before, but last year the Chen family went bankrupt and the house was sold.

"The Chen family is bankrupt?" Liu Handong was surprised, Isabella's family is not rich enough to rival the country, it is also one of the famous families in New York, no matter how bankrupt it is, it will be bankrupt.

Back at the hotel, Liu Handong went online to find news related to the bankruptcy of the Chen family, it turned out that Chen Jiao and Tan He's son, that is, Isabella's uncle, failed to participate in international financial speculation and owed huge debts, which directly led to bankruptcy, and the family property was not enough to sell, and the ancestral cultural relics of the family had to be auctioned.

Liu Handong immediately contacted Isabella, he didn't have the other party's phone number, he found it through his Facebook account, and after some inquiry, Isabella was also very depressed, not only because her uncle lost all the family property, but also because the movie "General" she invested in failed miserably at the box office, and lost a mess.

There is no century-old family, the Chen family ceased to exist as early as the nineties of the last century after the death of Chen Zikun, New York is actually only the Tan family of in-laws, and now the Tan family is also defeated, and the Cassino family of the New York mafia is also not prosperous, and the wind and rain are shaky.

"Handong, can you help me, there will be an auction tomorrow, they are all the relics of my maternal great-grandfather, my grandmother is very sad, but she has no way, we have no way, for the sake of my uncle, we must carry out an auction." Isabella choked.

"I ......" Liu Handong said in his heart that I don't have any money, at most I can only use it as a pretext to raise the auction price, of course, he finally agreed.

At the same time, Liu Yanzhi is also investigating Hannibal's whereabouts, and the party's patriotic intelligence system is very powerful, and it has been found that Hannibal will participate in a small auction at Sotheby's tomorrow, where he can be encountered.

There was a knock on the door, it was Liu Handong, and the two touched the information they had, and found that Hannibal was participating in the auction of the Chen family's collection, so they simply made two pieces and made one.

"I'm going to prepare weapons, what do you like to use?" Liu Handong said, "It's not easy to get guns in New York, but I have a way." ”

"Just find a hardware store and help me buy some of the biggest cement nails." Liu Yan said straight.

……

The next morning, the Mercedes-Benz prepared by the hotel waited at the door, and the trio went downstairs in formal clothes, got into the car, and went straight to the auction house.

This is a small auction, the bidding items are all from the Chen family's collection, including Chen Zikun's Nine Lions Saber, military uniforms, sandalwood furniture collected by the Chen family over the years, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, etc., the most valuable of which is a jade pendant, which is said to be Chen Zikun's personal belongings, and the reserve price is the highest, 500,000 US dollars.

A high-definition photo of the jade pendant appeared on the big screen, saying that it was a jade pendant, but in fact it was just a round piece of mutton fat white jade, which was engraved with the two seal characters of "Kunwu", and the carving was simple and warm.

Liu Yanzhi felt as if he had seen this jade pendant somewhere.

The venue is not big, and there are not many people coming, sparsely lala, mainly Chinese, Isabella accompanied a silver-haired old lady to sit in the back, Liu Handong stepped forward to say hello, and came back to introduce that the old man was Chen Zikun's youngest daughter Chen Jiao.

Liu Yanzhi immediately remembered the past of Christmas Eve in 1948, when he took the young Chen Jiao to soar on a snowy night, and the innocent and lovely little girl in the past is now a dying old man, I don't know if she remembers herself.

The auction began, buyers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland were not interested in modern antiquities, their focus was on sandalwood furniture, the auction went smoothly, after the furniture was sold, the auction of cultural relics began, and Hannibal had not yet come.

Chen Zikun's Nine Lions saber has a base price of 100,000 US dollars, someone holds up a card, Liu Handong looks back at Isabella's ancestors and grandchildren, the old man's face is as usual, but the calm expression hides how sad who knows, not Xiao descendants betray the ancestral collection, which in the eyes of the Chinese, is the behavior of the son of a ruined family.

Liu Yanzhi also glanced back, turned his head and said to Liu Handong: "Follow." ”

Guan Lu teased: "What do you follow or not, this is not playing blackjack." ”

Liu Handong raised his card to increase the price, and the other party resisted a little twice, and finally the saber was auctioned by Liu Yanzhi for 150,000 US dollars.

Followed by other collections, Liu Yanzhi instructed Liu Handong to follow all the follows, regardless of the cost, anyway, he has money, even if the account is insufficient, he can find the party to love the country.

Until the auction of the last collection, Hannibal did not appear, Liu Yanzhi has already auctioned all the relics of Chen Zikun, and the jade pendant with the texture of mutton fat white jade engraved with the seal of "Kunwu" will not fall, but the dark horse finally appeared, and a buyer who sat in the corner and did not hold a sign finally made a move, determined to win.

Liu Yanzhi turned his head and took a look, this person knows, his name is Zou Yijun, he is Ji Yuqian's sworn friend, he calls himself a jade idiot, and he especially likes to collect high-grade mutton fat white jade.

In a time and space that had been tampered with a long time and space, Zou Yijun and Liu Yanzhi had a relationship, but Zou Yijun didn't know Liu Yanzhi at this time, he just raised his cards again and again, and stared at this side provocatively, and the breath of the mainland tyrant came to his face.

Soon the price was raised to two million US dollars, which was beyond Liu Yanzhi's ability to afford and could not afford it.

"You go talk to him." Liu Yan said straightly, "Persuade him not to go against me." ”

Liu Handong put down the sign in his hand, walked to the corner, sat next to Zou Yijun, and said in a low voice: "Man, leave yourself a way to live, you won't survive tonight if you take a picture." ”

Zou Yijun looked at him with disdain: "Who are you, you scared me, the Fuqing Gang in New York, the Mafia are all my friends, you move me to try, you can't even get out of this door." ”

Liu Handong said: "That is not negotiable?" ”

Zou Yijun waved his hand: "Don't come to this set, if you have money, you will increase it, and if you don't have money, you will play eggs." ”

Liu Handong shrugged at Liu Yanzhi, saying that he couldn't do anything, Liu Yanzhi raised his card again, Zou Yijun was light-hearted, and he also raised his card, every time he bid a little higher than the other party, it was clear that he was deliberately angry.

A very boring auction entered a white-hot state, and the other buyers did not leave, watching with great interest who this jade pendant was, and the reserve price of 500,000 US dollars was raised to 10 million US dollars, and the two sides had no intention of stopping.

Chen Jiao, who was sitting in the back row, was puzzled and asked her granddaughter, "Who are they?" ”

Isabella said, "It's all from the mainland." ”

Chen Jiao sighed, mixed feelings, in the eighties of the last century, the mainlanders who could come to the United States were all scum, poor to death, now the mainland has the most nouveau riche, and the housing prices in California have been speculated by them, and now the two mainlanders are fighting for a piece of jade pendant, fighting to the death, and the relics of my father fell into the hands of such a vulgar person, which is simply a blasphemy.

When the price rose to 20 million US dollars, Liu Yanzhi became impatient, grabbed the sign in Liu Handong's hand and raised it and shouted: "100 million!" ”

Directly fivefold, this is not a auction, this is a vindictive, just a portable jade pendant of a political figure during the Republic of China, even if it is a mutton fat white jade texture, but the gram is not large, it can be considered a success if it can be auctioned for one million US dollars, no one expected to reach such an astronomical figure as 100 million.

Zou Yijun was also stunned by this number, and he couldn't get back for a while, and the auctioneer raised a small hammer: "100 million US dollars, is there anything higher than this number?" ”

"$100 million at a time!"

Zou Yijun was on the phone.

"$100 million for the second time!"

Zou Yijun raised his card again, his expression had changed from arrogance to solemnity, and the audience was in an uproar.

All eyes are on Liu Yanzhi, expecting him to create another sky-high price.

Liu Yan made a gesture of invitation to Zou Yijun, saying that he would not increase the size again.
