But this prosperity should be called pathological.

Because the prosperity of this place is maintained by industries that are prohibited by the constitutions of various countries.

Some people say that the most profitable industries and projects in the world are written in the constitution, so when these projects are opened, it is difficult for this place to be underdeveloped.

And the black market is such a place that is overly prosperous and degenerate.

Zhao Donglai came here for the first time and temporarily stayed in a relatively high-end hotel.

"How much?"

"Standard room for $1,200 a night." The waiter said.

Zhao Donglai glared: "So expensive? ”

The waiter sneered: "Expensive, there must be a reason for being expensive, if you are too expensive to go to other homes, you know that you have money here and no life to spend?" As long as you stay in our hotel, during your stay, as long as you don't break the rules of the black market, no one dares to mess with you, and our hotel also has a signboard business card in the black market, so it's this price. ”

She had a point.

In a place where human life is not taken seriously at every turn, safety is indeed more important than anything else.

After Zhao Donglai paid, a strong black man immediately carried his luggage for him and took him to the elevator.

"I've heard that you can sell things on consignment here, right?" Zhao Donglai asked.

The burly black man nodded: "First time?" ”

Zhao Donglai nodded.

The black man asked, "What are you going to auction?" Is it worth the money? ”

Zhao Donglai hesitated.

The black man sneered: "Don't worry, if you stay in our hotel, you can guarantee the safety of your valuables, other hotels don't dare to guarantee you, but we will guarantee you when we open this price." ”

Zhao Donglai nodded: "A painting." ”

Negro: "Is there no certificate?" ”

Generally, those with certificates or official channels will not circulate on the black market.

Zhao Donglai nodded.

"That price could be a lot lower." Black humanity.

Zhao Donglai asked: "Is there any one that gives a fair price?" ”

He took out two hundred dollars and stuffed them into the black man's pants pocket.

The black man nodded: "There are a few companies that generally give good prices in the black market, the key is that the funding channels they can give you are safe, and the credibility is still good." ”

Zhao Donglai asked, "Which one?" ”

Negro: "You have to see what the painting is first, otherwise people may not be interested." ”

Zhao Donglai took out his mobile phone and showed the oil painting video that had been filmed to the black man: "I'll send you a video, can you help me promote it?" Painting is definitely here for me, anyone who wants to be interested, can come and talk to me. ”

The black man nodded after receiving his video on his phone.

After sending Zhao Donglai into the room, the black man left. Zhao Donglai opened the window in his hotel room and looked down at the street below.

At this time, a waitress came in with fruit and said, "Do you have any enemies outside?" If you do, don't open the glass at all, because a sniper might come out of nowhere to kill you! We can only guarantee your safety during your stay, but we can't guarantee that you won't die outside. ”

Zhao Donglai quickly closed the window and drew the curtains.

"Need a service?" After the lady put away the fruit plate and red wine, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Donglai and asked.

Just then, a gunshot rang out outside.

Zhao Donglai frowned.

The waitress said very calmly: "It is estimated that there was a quarrel and a gun went off." ”

Zhao Donglai nodded, and after sitting on the sofa, he said with a tired face: "Let's wait for the evening to talk about the service." ”

The lady nodded, pushed the cart out of the room, and closed the door.

Zhao Donglai sat on the sofa, waiting for news from the black man.

The painting worth 50 million US dollars outside can be received by those criminal companies at a half discount in the black market, which is equivalent to a profit of 20 million US dollars, so there will be no group that is not greedy for this painting.

Sure enough, in less than two hours, Zhao Donglai's door was knocked on, and when he opened the door, he saw the black man coming in with a Portuguese.

"I heard you're going to sell paintings?" The Portuguese asked.

Zhao Donglai nodded.

"Can you see if it's real or fake?" The Portuguese asked.

Zhao Donglai knew that his current identity was a Thai thief, but it was not Zhao Donglai, so he said directly to the Portuguese: "Don't waste time, okay?" You should have investigated what I do, and I know the rules here, and I will never steal a fake. ”

"Mr. Cuenca, we heard that you were arrested in Hong Kong a year ago."

Zhao Donglai sneered: "Does the black market still care how the goods came from?" If you deliberately say these difficult things to lower the price, then I'm sorry, I won't do your business, get out! ”

The Portuguese man's face changed, and he wanted to show him some color.

But the black man gave him a look: "Sir, you know the rules of our hotel!" ”

The Portuguese endured: "Ten million! ”

Zhao Donglai turned around: "Get out." ”

The Portuguese were furious, but because the black man stopped him, he wanted to say something viciously, but he was choked by Zhao Donglai's words.

"You don't take me seriously, but if I have the goods in the future, I will never look for you again, you have to think clearly." Zhao Donglai swore that "I can steal such paintings, and I can steal more." ”

This Portuguese coaxed, it's all interests, and no one can't get along with money, right?

I can't talk about it this time, but I can't do it next time.

So he had to leave the room first.

Zhao Donglai said impatiently to the black man at this time: "Can you come with sincerity?" ”

"You wait." The black man said, and went out again.

After waiting for half an hour, the black man walked in with an Italian man, tall with a gray beard and wearing a gentleman's hat.

After coming in, he shook hands with Zhao Donglai straightforwardly.

"Where's the painting?" He asked.

Zhao Donglai said: "I'm more concerned about how much money you can give me?" ”

"Twenty-five million dollars." The Italian man said confidently and calmly: "I can guarantee that this price is the highest price on the black market." ”

Zhao Donglai: "Can you guarantee that it will go smoothly to my hands?" I don't want black money. ”

Italian man: "Don't worry, you can go and inquire, our Black Scorpion Group has group properties all over the world, and we can guarantee the safety of the money paid to you." ”

Zhao Donglai's pupils contracted when he heard the three words black scorpion.

"Okay, so can we trade now?" Zhao Donglai asked.

The man was stunned for a moment: "We generally don't trade outside, if you can trust the credibility of our group, you can go to our group to trade, after all, the outside is not in our sphere of influence, please understand, but don't worry, we can guarantee your safety, our car is below, you take the goods and go with us." ”

The black man nodded and agreed: "The reputation of the black scorpion is indeed good. ”

Zhao Donglai pretended to be scruples and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's okay, then go to your company." ”
