Seeing Wang Cheng looking at the club's signboard, Professor Messer smiled, pointed to the bronze medal and said: "In the Napoleonic era, this club was very famous, and Oda Sakurako wanted to enter the club several times, but unfortunately this club never accepted women. ”

Walking into the foyer, the two club security guards glanced at the professor, the professor waved at them, and the two retracted into the doorway, and the professor led Wang Cheng into the club, while introducing the history of the club: "In the Napoleonic era, a group of Cambridge students had a wild idea and founded this club. They calculated according to Newtonian mechanics that as long as there was enough gunpowder to propel, they could hit the moon with a cannonball, remember Julian Verne's novel about lunar travel? It's about the Cannon Club and their crazy ideas. ”

Wang Cheng asked curiously, "What about later?" ”

Professor Messer replied: "Later, generation after generation, the members of the club continued to improve the range of the cannon, and eventually they invented the missile, the rocket...... Nowadays, almost all of the British arms dealers, the factory owners who make weapons, are members of this club, and it is also a meeting place for physicists, but it has become more and more commercial - if someone sells you the blueprints of his weapons, you don't have to deal with them. ”

Understood, it seems that Lily's last mission may have something to do with weapons.

For a former sling like Wang Cheng, the atmosphere of this club is too pedantic, people speak with their voices low, very polite, full of the eccentric arrogance of an English gentleman, and the atmosphere inside makes him feel uncomfortable, he just wants to leave as soon as possible. But Professor Messer's purpose had not yet been achieved, and after the two sides were seated, he asked curiously: "How did you choose this building?" ”

Wang Cheng replied: "I just have some spare money and want to make a little investment, my lawyer recommended a few properties to me, and focused on recommending the current real estate, I looked at it and felt satisfied, although the income situation is not very good, but it is very stable, so I bought it." ”

Professor Messer pondered, "So, Miss Sakurako Oda has been in contact with your lawyer?" ”

Wang Cheng thought for a while and replied, "Probably not, right?" If the one my lawyer told you was ...... It's called Miss Sakurako Oda, right? If my lawyer had come into contact with Miss Sakurako Oda and had recommended this building to me, it would have been clear that there was something wrong with his profession, and as far as I know, he could not have been. ”

Messer looked even more frustrated, and he muttered, "You don't want to see me so much...... Looks like she's gone with me forever. ”

Wang Cheng couldn't answer this question, and then the atmosphere was naturally more dull, Messer absentmindedly recalled the past, Wang Cheng filled his stomach, simply asked for a beer, and invited the professor to the attic on the top of the building with this beer. The professor absentmindedly agreed, but when he returned to his residence, he suddenly and rudely said that he wanted to be alone for a while...... Early the next morning, Henry, the housekeeper, came to ask for instructions: "I have bought enough biscuits and chocolates, and the gentleman intends to deliver them to each tenant's door in person, or ......?"

Wang Cheng shirked and said: "Forget it, my room is empty now, which makes people feel very desolate, I plan to go to the street today to buy some necessary daily necessities to fill this empty house, so these little things are left to you." ”

Henry bowed slightly and said, "Then Mr. has to sign all the greeting cards, and the task of delivering the greeting cards is left to us." ”

Henry straightened up and reported: "Your lawyer has half an hour to arrive, and your package is expected to arrive in twenty minutes, sir, you still have to decide the matter of the cook today, I have already informed the agency, you see, do you want those candidates to come to the door in the morning or in the afternoon?" ”

Wang Cheng replied: "It's still morning, I hope to have the lunch she cooks." ”

Henry immediately continued: "Sir just said that you want to buy daily necessities, do you want to choose a supermarket, or a separate supplier?" Do I need to inform them when they will visit? ”

This sentence made Wang Cheng stunned for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses: We are rich now, the owner of a building, why should we "personally" go to the mall for such a troublesome thing? Let the salesman or supplier come to the door with the product catalog, and we can just look at the picture and choose. This is the UK, maybe those salesmen still dare to engage in commercial fraud, right?

"You just said my package would arrive in twenty minutes?" Wang Cheng asked.

Henry looked at his watch: "Seventeen minutes to go." You have eleven packages from Argentina, fifteen packages from Chile, nine packages from Peru, three each from Uruguay, Paraguay, seven from Brazil, two packages from Kenya in Africa, one package from Tanzania, four packages from South Africa, one package from Senegal, two packages from Côte d'Ivoire, one package each from Morocco, Tunisia and Dubai...... You now have fifteen minutes left, plus the café's greeting card, and you have fifteen greeting cards to sign. ”

This "greeting card" is to tell tenants that although the landlord has changed, their lease is still valid and can be continued, and by the way, thank them for renting the unit in this building...... After Wang Cheng signed fifteen greeting cards, the stout Aunt Patri handed the "greeting cards" to Mary and Taylor, and the two of them carried small round biscuits and chocolates distributed to the tenants, and delivered them door-to-door.

Before these people finished moving the package, the lawyer also arrived, Wang Cheng glanced at the lawyer in surprise, signaled Henry to take charge of the parcel, and led the lawyer into the bedroom on the fourth floor, opened the secret room of the bedroom, and closed the door to negotiate.

"How are you?" Wang Cheng asked.

The lawyer was dressed as a magician, his hair was dyed, he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he looked very urbane.

The magician didn't answer Wang Cheng's words, he looked around, and Wang Cheng immediately replied: "This secret room is surrounded by steel plates, although the steel plates are not thick, there is no problem in shielding radio signals." ”

The magician relaxed, and he shrugged: "Why not me?" It is only on this occasion that I can get in touch with you unobtrusively - this is your invitation, we have scattered the works of art in the hands of six museums, five private collectors, who are already exhibiting in Maastricht, and if there is an inquiry from a customer, they will inform you to come and negotiate. ”

Wang Cheng touched his chin: "I'm afraid I'm not suitable for bargaining with others." ”

The magician replied: "It's just you, I've been in this business with Lily and Poison for a long time, and when we show up, it may arouse the vigilance of some people, but you are the only newcomer, you can participate in the exhibition as an art dealer and sell those works of art." ”

The magician pointed to the invitation on the table and said, "I forgot to congratulate you on your promotion, I heard that your operation in Africa is a big operation, and I heard that even the 'drama' has been dispatched." ”

Wang Cheng sighed: "The 'drama' is dispatched, I haven't been able to see him, this person, I have long admired him." ”

The magician knocked on the invitation on the table and said: "I heard that the company has made a remarkable gain in the African operation, that the uranium company has allowed us to hold part of the shares, and the company has decided that you will represent the company's equity in the uranium company under your name - this invitation was obtained in the name of the director of the uranium mining company. ”

Wang Cheng frowned: "The company's actions in Africa have made a lot of noise, and now everyone knows about the big explosion, after the explosion, the two tribal leaders died, and the uranium mining company got the most benefits, and I came forward to represent the company's shares, so wouldn't I also be exposed?" ”

The magician smiled: "The bombing, their president admitted responsibility, this matter has nothing to do with us, the outside world is speculating that the president may have hired mercenaries to do it, the president is threatening the rest of the opponents with the death of two opponents, at this time, even if you jump out and say: you did this, their president will never agree." ”

Wang Cheng shook his head: "Politics, how dirty." ”

After a pause, Wang Cheng asked, "How much cash have we recovered from the client?" ”

The magician replied, "There are about 300 million in cash, and after deducting the fees, there are 200 million left, but these 200 million cash is actually equivalent to 500 million funds - the rest of the cash is spent or wasted by the rabbit." ”

"That is to say, we have to sell this batch of artworks for at least 1.1 billion yuan before the client can be satisfied," Wang Cheng said in a deep voice, "We need a good bargain - I happen to know such a candidate, and this person has nothing to do with the company." No one could have thought of the company from her...... Does the company have any other recommendations? ”

The magician shook his head: "This matter has been entrusted to you with carte blanche and beyond, if you feel safe and feasible, you can hire the target you see fit to work for us, but in terms of cost, you need to bear it yourself - you have been promoted, the first bonus for our mission will be taken by me first, then you, and then Lily and Poison." ”

Wang Cheng casually asked: "How are the gypsies doing now?" ”

The magician replied: "She has been frozen in Uruguay and has been unable to move for at least half a year." ”

After a pause, the magician added: "In this case, as is customary, we will withdraw a fixed share of the prize to her, maybe two million, up to five million, depending on what price you can sell." ”

Wang Cheng pointed to the invitation letter: "I still need an invitation letter, and I also want to know what the transaction amount of each Maastricht art fair is?" ”

The magician shook his head: "The fair has never announced their transaction amount, because there are many overseas buyers who use over-the-counter transactions in an anonymous way, so it is impossible to count the specific amount, but you must know that this is the world's top art fair, and the top artworks that flow in the auction house every year are only in single digits, and at the fair, the exhibits are all top artworks, tens of thousands...... Someone once roughly estimated that the turnover of each fair is at least $60 billion, and it is not uncommon for an exhibiting country to sell 10 billion pieces of art. ”

Wang Cheng took a deep breath of cold air: "Then I must stimulate my trader fiercely." ”
