Chapter 509: Masked Drinking Party
"Uh...... I don't know much about this......
As soon as Jin Muchen asked, the shopkeeper actually began to vomit, and Jin Muchen knew this guy, and he didn't tell the truth to himself.
Jin Muchen also knew that it would not be a good idea to put pressure on him all the time, so his face changed again, and he took out his wallet from his arms.
It happened that when I arrived in Xiangjiang the day before yesterday, I exchanged a lot of cash, so I didn't count it from my wallet, so I grabbed a handful, about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and stuffed it into the young man's arms.
"Tell the truth!"
The money was the first to start, and the young man's eyes lit up.
"Uh...... Later, my grandfather really didn't tell me about the underground auction again, but after I took over the antique shop, I talked to Brother Niu next door, and he told me something about the underground auction......"
Speaking of which, this guy actually took a meal on purpose, Jin Muchen smiled, pulled out a handful of banknotes from his wallet, and stuffed them into this guy's hand.
The moment he got the money, this guy's face was already smiling like a flower.
"Brother Niu told me that the underground auction was held by a big guy in Xiangjiang B Society, and that big guy was very skillful, and he used to specialize in parallel business. Later, he made a fortune, and then he didn't know how to get in touch with a group of people who specialized in smuggling cultural relics on the mainland, and he met a lot of rich people, so he started to specialize in underground antique smuggling business. At first, it was still home delivery, but later he made a lot of money and began to play bigger and bigger. I started the business of underground auctions. In the beginning. He set the auction on Lantau Island. Later, several locations were changed in succession. I heard that it is getting bigger and bigger, and it will be held once a month on average, and now his auction is very big, not only the rich people in Xiangjiang like to go, but also many rich people like to go to the treasure island, as well as Japanese, European and American, anyway, the reputation is not small. But where is the location now. I don't know much, and Brother Niu hasn't been there for a long time. ”
This time this guy should be telling the truth, after Jin Muchen heard it, he didn't say anything, but just asked one more question at the end.
"Do you know who the big guy behind the underground auction is?"
"Well, I don't really know much about this......
The young man's answer was a little hesitant, and Jin Muchen's face changed: "Brother, my money is not so easy to get, you'd better tell me everything you know." Otherwise......"
This young man was really frightened enough by Jin Muchen, and at this time he changed his face. The guy shuddered.
"Really, that big guy, I really don't know which one it is, but the person in charge of holding this underground auction, I've heard people, seems to be a woman, and her nickname seems to be Sister Tao!"
Hearing this, Jin Muchen's heart jumped again, it turned out to be a woman.
In this way, it will be easy to do, this time I came to Xiangjiang, wasn't it a woman who let me come.
Then this time I just went to the underground auction she held......
already had a plan in his heart, and Jin Muchen did not continue to stay in this small shop.
When he came to this cat street, he collected a few stone pots of Tao Hongzhai, plus an eagle painting of Pan Tianshou, Jin Muchen was already very satisfied.
There were still dozens of meters of street, and he didn't have the heart to continue shopping, so he hurried back to the hotel with Belinda.
For the next two days, he and Belinda wandered around the hotel, visiting several well-known attractions near Hong Kong Central, and also tasted many well-known snacks in Hong Kong.
In addition, Belinda has been asking him for advice in the past few days, and Jin Muchen did not hide his knowledge about the identification of Chinese antiques, and told Belinda some of the knowledge he knew.
In fact, he also knew that even if he told her, it would not be a big deal.
After all, this knowledge, even if you learn theoretical knowledge, is useless, you still have to experience it in reality, most antique appraisers, this is how they come over.
After three days of wandering, he finally received a call from Sister Tao on this day.
"Hey, Jim, have you arrived in Xiangjiang?"
"Oh, hello Sister Tao, haha, I received your call a few days ago, and I immediately rushed to Xiangjiang, and I've been playing here for several days!"
"Oh, as a landlord, I can't do my best as a landlord, I'm really rude......"
"Eh, Sister Tao, you're too polite, you're saying that I'm not here for fun, but mainly for business."
"Okay, refreshed, tonight at six o'clock, we will send someone to pick you up, we have a masked ball, remember to put on makeup! Everyone here is faceless, you are the first time to participate in our auction, so there are some rules, I must explain to you, today's dance is just the day for everyone to pay the deposit. Everyone who participates in this auction must pay a deposit of $1 million, and we will guarantee the safety of the funds and the authenticity of the auction items. After calling the deposit, we will arrange for someone to pick you up and take you to the auction location, and you will definitely not be disappointed when the time comes......"
Sister Tao said very simply, there was no room for bargaining for Jin Muchen at all, and Jin Muchen didn't know that they still had such a rule, and they would let people pay a deposit of one million dollars as soon as they came up, which seemed a bit too exaggerated.
But when you think about it, a million dollars is nothing to me.
Even if you go to a serious auction, you have to pay a deposit before the auction starts, and the money will be returned to you in the end.
These underground gangsters in Xiangjiang have been doing this kind of business for some years, and they must have made credibility.
Didn't the owner of the antique shop I met during the day a few days ago also say that they are now getting bigger and more formal, and their customers are all over the world.
This shows that their credibility is not bad, so in order to go to this auction site, it is not a big deal to pay a deposit of one million dollars.
Thinking of this, Jin Muchen agreed, and Sister Tao was also very happy to hear his affirmative answer.
"Jim, don't worry, although our auction is an underground auction, our credibility can be placed there! If you leave this auction empty-handed, we will return it to you. And this is mainly because it is the first time for you to participate in such an auction, and if you participate more times in the future and the transaction volume increases, then the amount of the deposit will be reduced in full. ”
"I know, Sister Tao, by the way, I have another question, can I bring my partner along?"
"Yes, of course! Anyone is welcome to bring their partners in, but only on the premise that you can't bring weapons or any equipment! ”
"Don't worry about this, we still understand Sister Tao's rules."
Jin Muchen replied with a smile, and then chatted with Sister Tao for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
After that, he and Belinda hurriedly went out, went outside to buy some simple makeup and disguise equipment, and dressed up in the room, Jin Muchen's phone rang at six o'clock in the evening, and the person sent by Sister Tao had already arrived downstairs.
Jin Muchen and Belinda hurriedly put on the costume party supplies they bought before, Jin Muchen was wearing a tuxedo, a dome on his head, and a simple black veneer mask that covered half of his face.
The image is a bit like Zorro, the thief in the Mexican movie, while Belinda is much more glamorous, wearing a black close-fitting, evening dress, hair pulled up, and then wearing a veneer mask studded with fake crystals on her face.
The two went downstairs, and at the entrance of the hotel, there was already a black Mercedes Benz waiting for them.
When the two got into the car, they were blindfolded by the people who came to pick them up, and it seems that these guys are really strict about security.
The car circled around the downtown area of Central for an unknown number of times, and then it went out of the city, getting farther and farther away from the noisy city, and Jin Muchen's heart also quieted down.
After driving for about half an hour, the car finally stopped, and then the two were taken out of the car, and the blindfolds were still not removed.
The two of them were led forward, Jin Muchen only felt that he was brought from the slightly cool outdoors to the interior, and a noisy noise suddenly sounded in his ears, which was originally silent.
Then the blindfolds of the two were removed, and a dazzling light made the two of them have to close their eyes for a while to get used to it, and then slowly opened their eyelids.
What you see is a splendid Western-style auditorium with a dome ceiling and huge crystal chandeliers, while in the hall, there are bustling crowds.
These people are dressed in all kinds of costumes, all kinds of dresses, but the only thing they have in common is that they all cover their faces, and they can't see each other's real faces.
It seems that these guys really know how to protect themselves.
Jin Muchen dragged Belinda's slightly damp hand, walked into the hall, and came to the front of the cold table, he picked up a glass of champagne and handed it to Belinda, Belinda took it and was not polite, and drank half a glass as soon as she raised her head.
To be honest, in the previous situation, no matter how she adjusted her breathing, she couldn't be as calm as Jin Muchen.
Although she had only had close contact with pirates not long ago, it was the first time she had such a close contact with Society B.
After half a glass of wine, my stomach warmed up a lot, and my originally nervous state of mind gradually relaxed at this time.
"Yo! You guy, you actually changed girlfriends! ”
A gust of fragrant wind came from behind, and Jin Muchen knew that it was Sister Tao as soon as he heard the voice...... (To be continued......)
