The Affection Capote Gang is not a white gang himself, and he has also found a bond with a new world-class buyer through this incident.

Jin Muchen couldn't help but wonder, although Capote didn't say it explicitly, but what their contractors did in the Middle East, Jin Muchen also heard about it.

The reason why these guys are notorious is not because they specialize in doing dirty work and tiring work for the US military, but mainly because of their destruction of local civilization and society.

There will be nothing good in Afghanistan, but Iraq is different!

Not to mention the past, this place was ruled by Saddam, and it was once rich in the early stage, the local area was rich in oil, and the chiefs of many tribes were not poor in money.

When the US military engaged in the first Gulf War, Saddam surrendered before entering Iraq, but the second time he did not miss the opportunity and directly hit Saddam's nest.

As a result, many of the elite in Iraq were looted, and not only the elite were reshuffled, but even Iraq's national reserves were not spared, and even Iraq's National Bank was looted.

Of course, these things, like N, or the free media like the BBC, will definitely not be reported, but within the US military, this is not a secret.

Of course, such a thing must be done very secretively, and it is not very convenient for the US military to intervene in person. So it's up to these contractors to do it.

These guys aren't regular soldiers. People came to the war zone at the risk of losing their lives. But it's for the money.

Not only do they want to take money from the U.S. government, but they will not let go of all kinds of valuable local wealth.

Not only Iraq's banks and national reserves have been looted, but also Iraq's major museums.

You must know that Iraq not only has petrodollars, but they also have many world-famous historical relics, which can be brought to the world casually. That's all priceless.

The Euphrates and Tigris rivers gave birth to the Mesopotamian civilization, which is known as the Babylonian civilization, one of the four ancient civilizations, but it is in Iraq.

So there are a lot of treasures in Iraq's museums, and after the second Gulf War, these treasures were basically looted.

A few days ago, there was news that some large museums in the United States privately collected a lot of treasures of ancient Babylonian civilization circulating on the black market, what the Blackstone Codex. What shrine statues and the like, anyway, a lot of looted them.

However, they did not dare to show it to the front desk. It could only be quietly located in the basement of the museum, and was later exposed by a well-fed reporter, which finally attracted the Iraqi government's pursuit.

He even fought a lawsuit with the museum in the United States, and was finally forced by the court to return antiques worth more than 30 million US dollars.

And these more than 30 million dollars of antiques are just a drop in the ocean for the original collection of the Iraqi Museum.

However, it is precisely because of this lawsuit that the antique trade in ancient Babylonian civilization, which was once very popular in the underground black market in the United States, has gradually fallen silent.

After all, the Yankees, but they are typical of being a bitch and setting up a memorial arch, obviously robbing other people's things, but they also have to establish their own international image, so occasionally they will pull out a few unlucky eggs to pour fire on international public opinion, so no one wants to be that unlucky guy.

Although the transaction has fallen silent, it does not mean that it is forbidden, but everyone is more careful and secretive.

Capote and they said this to Jin Muchen this time, obviously they also want to find more channels, after all, now the Chinese have money, and people all over the world know it, especially those Chinese rich people, spending money is called a pride.

One is to only buy the expensive ones, not the right ones, if you can get on the line with them, then the things in their hands will be much easier.

Jin Muchen was not hypocritical, and said directly to Capote: "Okay! Capote, I'll keep an eye on it for you, but you know, these rich people have a lot of tastes. And we Chinese generally like our own things, such as porcelain, or those pearls and jade, as for those Babylonian things, I don't know if they are interested. ”

"It's okay, as long as you can help keep an eye on it, I'll leave this matter to you."

Capote didn't force anything, and Jin Muchen was also very satisfied that he was so 'sensible'.

After eating supper, Capote and Lex directly said goodbye to Jin Muchen, and Jin Muchen, who had nothing to do, also booked a ticket online, planning to go back in a few days.

The reason why I am not in a hurry to go back is also because it is not easy to come to the West Coast, and I have visited the antique market in San Francisco, but I haven't done a good job here in Los Angeles.

Inside the famous Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, northeast of Los Angeles, a large flea market opens on the second Sunday of every month.

The market, with more than 2,500 fixed trade stalls and a capacity of 50,000 customers, is said to be the largest second-hand market in the Los Angeles area.

However, it costs money to get in, as the huge market is open to VIP customers at 5 a.m., while the average customer will have to pay $20 for admission if they want to enter early.

Those who don't want to spend more money can enter the market for $15 at 7 a.m., while the rest of the visitors will have to wait until 9 a.m. to enter, and children under the age of 12 can visit for free, and the market closes around 4 p.m.

There happened to be one day before the market opened, so Jin Muchen didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he planned to wait until he finished shopping the market before returning to New York.

The next day, naturally, I drove a car and took a good walk around downtown Los Angeles, Sunset Boulevard, China Theater, and Hollywood, which were basically the same as the pictures I had seen on the Internet.

And it's not much fun to go shopping alone, Jin Muchen soon lacked interest, so he returned to the hotel and waited for this large second-hand market to open.

finally waited until Sunday, Jin Muchen drove to the Rose Bowl Stadium early in the morning, and it was not yet five o'clock in the morning when he came, but at this time the stadium was already crowded with people.

The spacious lawn in front of the door is full of cars, people line up in front of the ticket office window, children happily play with the rides, and the mouth-watering scent of food trucks wafts through the air.

You must know that it was just dawn at this time, and it was still a Sunday morning, and for lazy Americans, it was possible to get up so early in the morning and visit this market with their families, which shows the great attraction of this market.

Jin Muchen is not a VIP customer, so he has to spend twenty dollars on the entrance fee, but Jin Muchen doesn't mind spending this money at all.

As an entry-level antique dealer, Jin Muchen certainly knows the benefits of spending this money.

In fact, the morning market that starts at 5 o'clock in the morning is a bit similar to the ghost market in the domestic antique circle.

Of course, some of these treasures must be of unknown origin, and may even be stolen goods a few years ago, but the market here is open and closed, and the reason why this VIP system is made is to facilitate these underground transactions.

And this market is a well-known all-cash trading market, is one of the few places in the United States that cannot be traded by card, especially from five to seven o'clock in the morning, only cash is accepted, and the circulation is basically some black market products, which the official turns a blind eye, and the antique dealers who come to shop for goods, of course, also abide by this unspoken rule.

Buying a hot dog for breakfast, Jin Muchen entered the market with the flow of people, walked into the fence outside the stadium, and countless tents were erected on the huge parking lot, some of which had already opened their stalls, and some were still preparing.

And in these tents, the goods displayed are also dazzling, and there is everything.

Clothing, furniture, antiques, collectibles and gifts filled the stalls, some of which were shouting and others were silent.

Jin Muchen walked around the inside, and then had a general idea of this market.

The outermost of these are the most ordinary things, clothes, furniture and the like.

The antiques, the collectibles are in the back, and this is also the place where people who are willing to spend money to come in the morning pay the most attention, and the vendors here generally do not come out to solicit guests, their tents are so half-closed that they can't see what good things are inside from the outside, and then they seem mysterious and mysterious, which can arouse people's curiosity.

When you walk in, you will find that the top products sold in each tent here are different, but they are basically antiques.

In the first tent in the first row, for example, you can find gramophones from the beginning of the last century, vintage typewriters, movie projectors and slide projectors, and antique cameras.

In the second tent, you can see the fashion and shoes that were fashionable at the beginning of the last century that can be regarded as antiques.

And in the third tent, you can even find antique pistols, military uniforms and all kinds of military items.

Jin Muchen was in this third tent, and walked around for a long time, thinking that he had seen a lot of world-famous old guys here, such as the well-maintained oily and shiny, World War II famous M1 Garand rifle, as well as the German K98, as well as the special Luger pistol for officers, and even a Japanese-made 38 big cover.

Jin Muchen felt as if he had entered the Grand View Garden, he had heard that such a second-hand firearms market was famous before, but today it was an eye-opener. (To be continued......)
