Chapter Thirty-Eight: Leaked
PS: The thank you message is written at the bottom. (At the suggestion of a friend, it was written in the underground 'Author's Words'!)
This batch of jewelry is a bit much, and it took two days for the experts brought by Mark to complete the preliminary identification of the jewelry that Li Ye took out, and then it took a few days to carefully re-inspect it, but fortunately, this time the main inspection equipment was brought, and there was no need to go back to New York.
In the end, Mark gave a price.
"Li, I have to say that you are a lucky guy, you are about to have another 230 million dollars in your account. Mark said to Li Ye with a smile.
Li Ye listened and rolled his eyes, he is no longer the little dick he was at the beginning. Anyway, he's also a person who has experienced 'big things'. As for fooling yourself so much?
Li Ye smiled and took two cups and handed one to the other party. A little red wine was poured into it. The two touched for a moment, and Li Ye said: "Mark, I didn't promise you to sell it to you for 230 million US dollars, I don't admit what you said." ”
The red wine was bought with Carter's help. According to what he said, in a Western-style castle, there is not even red wine, is it like words?
Li Ye wanted to tell him that he was fine without red wine, but thinking that there would be no good end for the bar spirit, he acquiesced to his statement.
Now that I use it, Li Ye suddenly felt that this atmosphere was very similar to that in the movie. Two baddies celebrating in advance?
The next thing does not need Li Ye to participate in person, Carter personally leads the team to talk to the other party.
In the end, Li Ye sold the shipwreck jewelry at a price of 260 million US dollars. Christie's is a very good person, and it didn't even ask about the origin of this batch of jewelry.
However, Li Ye estimated that they should have guessed the origin of these jewels, after all, they had so many experts under their hands.
The money arrived quickly. Li Ye directly took out 50 million US dollars and gave 100,000 US dollars to each of the members of the escort team as a 'hush money'. Of course, at the level of team leader and captain, Li Ye gave more, the team leader was 150,000 US dollars, and the captain was 200,000 US dollars.
As for George, Li Ye directly handed over a check for one million.
George smiled and took it.
In the past few months, Li Ye has been doing the defense of the island, after all, this is the capital of his foothold. Some of the spies in the convoy, George also slowly eliminated.
Carter's travel company is also on track. It can be said that everything is going in a good direction. The only place to worry is the nuclear reactor under the power plant.
Looking at the report handed over by George, Li Ye's brows furrowed deeply.
Since George began to weed out spies in the convoy, there have been more and more suspicious people on the island.
So far, there have been no less than a dozen cases of foreigners visiting the power plant and the place where the robot used to carry the treasure.
Fortunately, they were discovered in time. And the power plant Li Ye is not just used as a cover, but is really operating. Fortunately, with the data of the power plant, it is theoretically possible to supply the island with basic electricity. Well-theoretically!
Until now, the residents of the island did not know that in fact, their electricity came from a nuclear reactor, and they thought it was from a power plant.
As they chatted, Carter hurried in.
"Boss, something happened!" Before Li Ye could ask, Carter spoke first.
When Li Ye heard this, his heart sank, and he saw Carter continue with a calm face: "Boss, Spain knows about the shipwreck treasure. ”
Li Ye's first reaction after hearing this was not to ask Carter, but to look at George with a strange expression.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Seeing George on the side, he immediately said, "I'll check first." After speaking, he walked out with a calm face.
It was also reported that the spy had been eliminated, and that some tourists with unknown intentions had been prevented. Within a few minutes, he was slapped in the face. Li Ye was a little embarrassed for him!
Seeing George go out, Li Ye didn't say anything. It's normal for George to be like this, can he not be annoyed if he loses face in front of others?
After seeing George leave, Carter continued: "Boss, the Spanish government has demanded that we return all the treasure worth 5 billion US dollars from the 'Golden Fishing Boat'. ”
When Li Ye heard this, he almost choked to death. Rolled his eyes.
Worth $5 billion?
Think too much!
Li Ye was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang and suddenly remembered. Glancing at the caller alert - Mark.
"Lee, I can guarantee that the information did not come from Christie's. "Mark will come up and promise you Li Ye. Apparently they also received the message.
The two chatted for a few words, and Li Ye hung up the phone.
Although Li Ye believed Mark's words, he did not believe them all, and when the results of the investigation came out, he would know which side it was. If it were because of Christie's, Li Ye could almost see that the auction house in the future would only be dominated by Sotheby's.
After all, no one will go to an auction house company that exposes customer information at any time.
Li Ye talked with Carter for a while, and finally decided not to admit the account first, but drag it out first, and see if the other party has any evidence.
The two discussed the other party's plan for dealing with each other with and without evidence, and discussed until the night, when Carter left.
When Li Ye is here during the day, it is still night in China.
The news came out, and all the night owls on the Internet were stunned when they saw it! Especially after seeing the figure worth 5 billion US dollars. Soon this foreign news was forwarded to major post bars, and it soon caused a sensation, and this matter was discussed everywhere.
Since it was the middle of the night, there were not many people on the Internet, most of them were night owls, and the sensation caused was only a small area.
As a result, the next day, the Chinese people who had just woken up to brush the bot, go to the post bar, and watch the news were staring at the mobile phone screen with a sluggish and disbelieving face.
On the post bar, the post "Spain seeks 5 billion shipwreck treasure from Li Ye" was topped and refined.
It hasn't been sent out for half an hour, and there have been thousands of comments, and this is just in the morning, most people are just rushing to work, and they haven't rested yet, and when they arrive at the company, it is estimated that the number of replies to this post will skyrocket.
The first is the information of some 'golden fleets' found by the owner of the post, which is placed directly at the top.
[I'm Cao, this isn't true, right?]
[I just went over the wall and took a look, this news is true, I envy the big guy, I just announced the priceless magnetic levitation technology, and I got a shipwreck treasure worth 5 billion US dollars. Is there a good reward for good people?]
[Upstairs, don't try to trick me into doing a good deed, Made, 5 billion US dollars, just give me a fraction, no, I'm going down to help my grandmother cross the street, I can't get an unexpected property. 】
[Where is the upstairs, be careful, after being seen by the person who touched the porcelain, it is estimated that you will be miserable!]
[A large number of people touching porcelain are rushing to ......]
[You say, will Li Ye return these shipwreck treasures?]
[Return the hair, you have the ability to salvage it yourself!]
[Not necessarily, I heard that several European countries have asked Li Ye to return the treasure of the sunken ship. Li Ye alone, how can he fight against the country? Unless our country helps him out. 】
[I can't help if I want to, the country must take into account the international image. 5 billion US dollars, why did you say that Li Ye was so careless to let people know......]
......
And that's just sticking it up. Bot and major news sites have changed the headlines to this one.
"Spain is recovering 40 billion worth of treasures from our country. "This is Bote's headline, very true, just 5 billion US dollars exchanged for yuan.
"What should he do?" this is the penguin's headline, with Li Ye's avatar in the background, and a number 40 billion next to it. Some connotations.
"Shocked, my countrymen, the shipwreck treasure worth 5 billion US dollars salvaged abroad is now being recovered by Spain......"
......
The major news media all reported on this incident, which made the stars in the entertainment industry who got up in the morning confused.
I'm Cao, don't you want to be so fierce, you have nothing to grab the headlines!
