**************

This Edward's attitude was very sincere at this time, and he suddenly became serious and sincere, and the temperament of the nouveau riche on his body disappeared all at once.

Jin Muchen was also stunned by his sudden change in temperament, and then looked at the woman beside him, at this time, her face was completely devoid of the arrogance she had just now, although her face was still cold, but she couldn't hide the taste of longing in her eyes.

"What? Mr. Kim, is there anything else you have to worry about? Just now we have spending power, you can also see, I can say politely, although I don't have a lot of money, but I still have the money to buy a few antiques. If you have any membership requirements in your VIP showroom, you can ask them all and I can apply to join your membership immediately. ”

Seeing that Jin Muchen didn't respond to him, this Edward continued to ask, although his attitude was still very sincere, but he couldn't hide the eagerness in his words.

Jin Muchen couldn't help but feel a sudden slap in his heart, why were they so anxious to go up to the second floor, could it be that they were really so eager for their upstairs collections, or that they were very anxious for a certain exhibit upstairs?

Since the opening of their store, Jin Muchen's treasures have been displayed in the lobby on the first floor in the first few days of the store, and then they have all been transferred to the upper floor with a higher security level.

From the first floor to the second floor, you will not only have to pass through an iron door behind the counter on the first floor, but also enter the exhibition hall on the second floor. You have to go through a very thick iron gate. The big iron gate. Although it can't be compared with the door of a bank vault, it is much thicker than an ordinary security door.

Moreover, the anti-theft window on the second floor falls all day, and the glass of the window is also made of special bulletproof reflective glass, so it is difficult to see the layout of the room from the outside.

After all, there are hundreds of millions of treasures in this exhibition hall, so when designing and renovating, Jin Muchen had particularly high requirements for the safety protection level on the second floor.

Normally, this showroom is only open to some special customers. For example, like Wang Xueming, or Michael. Characters like Zuofenberg, Jin Muchen will invite them to go up and have a look.

Other guests, if they hadn't spent a certain level in his store and were familiar with a certain amount of Cheng dΓΉ, Jin Muchen would never have invited them to visit casually.

Therefore, his VIP system here is very strict, not that if you have tens of millions, hundreds of millions, you can take it for granted that you can get a VIP card. Then go upstairs to visit.

Now that this Edward actually rashly proposed to go upstairs to visit, of course Jin Muchen would not agree. Although he was very arrogant in his shop, and he didn't seem to be short of money, the eagerness that he and his companions couldn't hide in their eyes made Jin Muchen vigilant.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Edward, our VIP system here is different from other places, in our case, you have to spend more than five million dollars and have been a customer for more than three years before we invite you to become a VIP customer in our store, and then you can visit the upstairs showroom."

Jin Muchen casually recited the conditions of a VIP membership, and said to Edward, and Edward and his female companion, after hearing such conditions, did not hide the disappointment on their faces at all.

"That's right...... I really didn't expect that your VIP system here is so strict! ”

"yes, I'm really sorry."

Jin Muchen said to this Edward with a smile, and Edward waved his hand casually.

"Forget it, forget it, then we'll leave today."

After speaking, he ignored Jin Muchen and Fang Bo's reactions, took his female companion, turned around and left Jin Muchen's antique shop.

"These two people are really strange."

Jin Muchen looked at the backs of the two of them and muttered, while Uncle Fang, who was standing next to him, had a thoughtful look on his face.

"What's wrong, Uncle Fang?"

Seeing Uncle Fang's expression, Jin Muchen couldn't help but ask, but Uncle Fang shook his head.

"I can't say, but I don't feel good about these two people. Forget it, I hope I'm thinking too much! ”

Uncle Fang shook his head and said, and Jin Muchen was in his heart, he still understood the truth of the big wind, some time ago, those Italian hooligans came to their own store to collect protection money, isn't it because their store is famous.

Could it be that these two people are also 'admired'?

No, it seems that in the future, I will have to further improve the security level of my home, and it seems that I will have to buy a few more guns to come back.

In the next few days, Jin Muchen raised his vigilance, but some expected accidents did not happen, and the days were still calm.

Soon it was the third week of October, and seeing that there were still a few days before the weekend, Uncle Fang told him something.

"Mu Chen, the ghost market over there in Wheaton City is about to open, do you want to go and have a look?"

Uncle Fang's words made Jin Muchen stunned, ghost market?

Isn't this stuff unique to China? This is also popular in the United States?

Looking at his confused and curious appearance, Fang Bo laughed: "You kid, you haven't even heard of the ghost market over there in Wheaton, right?" ”

"I really haven't heard of it, Uncle Fang, can you tell me about it?"

Jin Muchen was also aroused by Uncle Fang's curiosity, and Uncle Fang pointed to the pantry behind.

Jin Muchen hurriedly went to make a cup of hot tea for Uncle Fang, and brought a few pieces of refreshments, and then the two of them sat at the desk behind the counter, Uncle Fang took a sip of hot tea, set his tone, and then said to Jin Muchen.

"This ghost market is in Wheaton, Illinois, the full name is the all-night flea market, which starts at five o'clock on Sunday night in the third week of October and ends at the hotel the next morning, once a year. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year, and it's an all-cash market that doesn't accept any payment methods, such as transfers, cheques, etc. Every time it starts at 5 p.m. and ends the next morning at the hotel, I don't think I need to say more about the rest. ”

When Uncle Fang introduced this ghost market, the corners of his eyes were full of smiles.

And Jin Muchen was stunned after hearing this, I really didn't expect that the United States also has such a market?

Isn't this the same situation as those ghost markets in China? It's a place to buy and sell things that don't see the light.

It's just that most of the things bought in the ghost market in China have just been unearthed, and most of the ghost markets in the United States may sell stolen goods.

As an official, it is impossible not to know this, but they all tacitly chose to open one eye and close one eye.

This ghost market is a great place!

Especially the all-cash transaction that Fang Bo said, this has already illustrated a qiΔ“.

It is only held once a year, which may also be the limit of what the official can bear, and don't underestimate this short night, maybe this night, the market may give birth to hundreds of millions of transactions.

No, this ghost market, I have to go and see it, as soon as I think of this, Jin Muchen feels that grass can't help growing in his heart.

If a person in the antiques business has never even been to a ghost market in the United States, how can he brag to others in the future?

This place gave Jin Muchen the feeling that it was similar to the morning market of the rose bowl market in Los Angeles before, but the morning market started at four o'clock in the morning, but by seven o'clock in the morning, it began to open normally.

And the first few hours, of course, are set aside for underground transactions, but unfortunately there are only about three hours, but here is an all-nighter, a total of sixteen hours before and after, there are more things worth selling?

This market must go!

There are two days left before the weekend, Jin Muchen and Fang Bo said hello, called Candace again, cleaned up briefly, and Jin Muchen drove off.

Because the pickup truck let Candace drive to school, this time he still had to rent a car to go to Illinois, before leaving, Jin Muchen scolded the parking situation in Manhattan again, if it wasn't for the difficulty of parking, he would have bought a second car a long time ago.

Made, when Lao Tzu has money, he will buy a building to make his own private parking lot!

From New York, I drove west through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Anna in Indonesia for a full day before arriving in Wheaton, Illinois.

Wheaton is a small city in size and population, and it is a typical small Midwestern city, not at all comparable to Chicago, the big city of Illinois, and much worse than the state capital, Springfield.

Jin Muchen was not interested in visiting the city, he was more interested in the ghost market that was going to be held one day.

The location of the ghost market is on the outskirts of Wheaton, next to Wheaton College, although this school is not an Ivy League school, but it is one of the top Christian schools in the United States, so it is not small.

With such an obvious landmark, the ghost market is easier to find, the next day Jin Muchen did not go out to wander, but to rest in the hotel, he wanted to ensure that the body lì, because the next night, but there are more than ten hours to shop.

What's more, he still has two million dollars in cash on him, which he raised through various channels, and Uncle Fang, who had also been to this ghost market before, told him.

When you get here, it's best to bring enough cash, because here, you may see a lot of good things, and these things are clearly priced, don't think people don't understand, this is a gathering place for thieves.

Many thieves who specialize in antique calligraphy and painting come from the United States and even the world every year to sell stolen goods from this market, so the cash flow here is very large, which is the main reason why the government only allows this night market to open only one day a year.
