Chapter 1118: Biting the Hook
But this just met Paul's mind, originally they were afraid that this guy would sell those treasures one by one, and now this guy plans to pack them up and sell them all at once, wouldn't that be more in line with their wishes?
Because these treasures, if they are packaged and sold together, it is definitely not something that everyone can afford?
After all, this is a big deal involving hundreds of millions of dollars, and people like the dark web for several reasons, one is because it is a place outside the law, where you can buy anything that is usually legally bound and not allowed to be sold on the market.

On the other hand, the reason is that the black goods you buy here will be two to three percent cheaper than the things in the outside market.
But these antiques that this guy sells today, even if they are two to three percent cheaper than those sold in the outside market, but not everyone can afford them.
More than a dozen fine antiques, and they are also stolen antiques from the British Museum, packed together, the antiques in this, but anyone who knows knows it, any one, it is worth 10 million dollars less.
If these dozen pieces are added together, even if they can be two or three percent cheaper than normal channels, it is also a big deal worth hundreds of millions, and the other competitors, seeing such a price, can only leave the market gloomily.
The price was not a problem for Paul, because they had no intention of paying ...
"Okay, no problem, I've seen all the pictures of things, you're going to pack them up and sell them together, it's better for me, I'm really going to buy them all..."
Paul replied cheerfully, but the next result surprised him, because before he could finish speaking, the other party closed the conversation with him and kicked him out of the conversation.
Then the opponent's avatar dimmed, indicating that the opponent had gone offline.
“wtf?”
Seeing such a scene, Mike, who had been beside him, was annoyed, he originally planned to be able to hang the other party, but how did he expect the other party to be so alert?
actually knocked Paul out of the game and got off the line himself, what the hell is going on?
Could it be that Paul said the wrong thing and aroused the alarm of the other party? Mike and Paul, and the three of them, Damian, were staring at each other in the conference room, not knowing what to say.
Mike reported the situation to Rosa, but Rosa was not angry, just said lightly and continued to wait.
In this way, the three of MacArmen sat in the conference room for a whole day, until the evening, only to find that the guy was new again, and Paul hurriedly relied on the advantage of fast Internet speed to directly grab the other party's conversation room.
As a result, he was immediately kicked out by the other party, Paul was annoyed, it seemed that he was exposed, and then Mike and Damian appeared to try to convince each other.
But Mike was quickly defeated, and it was only then that Paul remembered that the last time they fished for that X, it was he and Mike who fished out that guy with a song.
And Mike has also analyzed before, this time the guy who is selling on the Internet is very likely to be that X, in order to raise funds to run away, so he came out to commit the crime against the wind.
And the other party is not a fool, after the last experience of dealing with the two of them, the other party is likely to have figured out the mode and way of speaking of the two of them, after all, this is a personal habit for many years, it is very likely that he and Mike before, when talking to that guy, certain tones or words aroused the vigilance of the other party, so the other party decisively kicked both of them out.
But the more this happens, the more mixed Mike and the others become, because the more alert the other party is, especially the more Mike and Paul are like this, the more certain they are that the guy sitting on the other side of the computer is the X who they have been tracking down hard before, and finally brought them a large number of casualties.
I don't know when, Rosa and several other important staff members of the intelligence station also came to this office, and it happened to be Damian who was dealing with the seller.
Damian is half British, his father is Italian, and he grew up in Italy as a child, so when he speaks, especially in English, there are some words and tones that are different from those who grew up in England.
And his way of expressing it was obvious that the seller opposite him lowered his guard against him, and when he communicated with the seller, he said that he was an antique dealer from Rome, and he was very interested in what the man had in his hand, and was willing to buy the treasure in the man's hand at full price.
And this time, the guy on the other side of the computer did not suspect him, and he and Damian fought on the Internet for a long time, and finally finalized a transaction price, twelve antiques, 150 million US dollars, which is two layers lower than the transaction price on the market, nearly 30%, and Damian has repeatedly said on the Internet that he is very satisfied with this price.
Now that the price has been negotiated, Damian asked the other party to take down the photos and advertisements, and then everyone can agree on a time and place to trade.
If this is something else, then in fact, the two sides can directly use express delivery and electronic transfer to complete the transaction without meeting, but this time after all, the object of the transaction is antique cultural relics, which must be met by both sides.
And Damian also said that he would bring a few experts over to check the authenticity of these treasures, after all, everyone had seen the photos on the Internet before, although the things on the photos did not seem to be fake, but the antiques were better to identify in person.
Damian's request, the other party agreed without much thought, and when he saw that the other party agreed, Mike, who had been tense, Paul, Rosa and other intelligence station staff, couldn't help but high-five.
But just when Damian thought that things could end perfectly, the other party suddenly sent another message, which was a string of bank account numbers.
"Let's make a deposit of $30 million and put it on these accounts. If you don't want to, then we don't need to trade. ”
When they saw these words, Mike and the others were so angry that they just wanted to scold their mother, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they would pay 30 million US dollars, who do you think you are?
Even if it's a scam, it's not as bold as you, right? 30 million US dollars, why don't you grab it?
Damian is also in a dilemma, as soon as the other party opens his mouth, he asks for 30 million, so he doesn't know how to answer, promise him, he can't get the money, but if he doesn't promise him, the deal will be ruined, and they will also miss this opportunity to capture Mr. X, as for those national treasures, let alone find them back.
So at this time, Damian could only turn his head to look at Rosa, after all, she is the boss here, and only she can make up her mind, and Rosa is holding her arm at this time, still reaching out and rubbing her chin, but it only took five minutes for her to make a decision.
"Promise him, I'll coordinate this money."
After saying that, Rosa turned around and walked out of the conference room and called, while Damian continued to negotiate with the other party in front of the computer, bargaining for a long time, this time the other party was half a step away, and insisted that he hurry up and pay the money, if he didn't pay the deposit, then there would be no next transaction.
Seeing that he was about to provoke the other party to get angry, and a few seconds before he was about to kick Damian out, Rosa walked into the office with the phone, and then made an OK gesture at Damian, and Damian immediately agreed to the other party's request online.
After a few minutes, Rosa handed Damian an account, and then Damian directly transferred 30 million US dollars from this account to the account designated by the other party, and as soon as the money was transferred in, the other party immediately kicked Damian out of the conversation room, and then the other party went offline.
Seeing each other's actions, Mike, Paul and Damian were a little panicked, what if the other party was a liar?
What if he didn't have any stolen antiques from the British Museum? He just came here to make a deposit, that's 30 million US dollars, if he loses it like this, then everyone in the conference room will have to eat and hang.
Several of them were very anxious, but only Na Rosa, who was still standing calmly in the conference room at this time, kept pacing back and forth.
Half an hour has passed, the avatar of the guy on the dark web, there is no movement, an hour has passed, the guy still has no movement, two hours later, all the people present are almost desperate, they were actually tricked by a liar, even Rosa, who has been forced to remain calm, at this time her forehead is also covered with beads of sweat in confusion, is it possible that this time she is going to fall to death here...
At this time, Jin Muchen and Capote were hiding in the basement on the first floor of their house, holding a laptop, laughing non-stop.
This money is really easy to make, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was 30 million, these Brits didn't hesitate much, it seems that these Brits are still rich, at this time, Jin Muchen even had some doubts that his previous asking price was a little too low.
"If I knew this, I would have asked them for a deposit of 30%."
Capote muttered that he didn't expect the other party to be so easy to deceive, and he really transferred 30 million to his designated account, which can finally alleviate his economic crisis, but before this money is used, it must be washed properly.
"It's almost, the other party has bitten the hook, and it's going to be dried, I'm afraid they're going to collapse... (To be continued.) )
