79 Auction House, an Important Deal [6k]
New York isn't too far from Miami.
Around noon, Ding Ze and his party arrived at one of Miami's private ports.
The trucks that Abruci arranged to deliver the goods had been waiting at the port for a long time.
As soon as the ship broke anchor, everyone rushed to the scene and transferred the treasure to the truck again.
Everything went smoothly,
Once all the treasures were loaded into the truck, the group set off for the hotel they had rented in Abruch.
As for the crew of the cargo ship that brought them to Miami......
Ding Ze didn't move.
One is that they are no longer on the high seas, this is a port, and killing so many people in broad daylight will inevitably attract attention.
The second reason is that all the treasures are tightly covered, and those staff members don't know what they are transporting..... and those staff members are not ordinary people, they have a bunch of problems and will not deal with the police.
The third reason is that they are back, even if the FBI really finds it, it is nothing.
Return to the hotel.
After piling all the treasures into the various rooms on the first floor of the hotel, Ding Ze stretched his waist, and after living for so long, he urgently needed to take a good bath and rest.
However, he still has one more thing to do before he can rest.
He needs to pick out a few treasures, and then contact Subi and Jiadi Auction House to get some money back as soon as possible.
After all, Abruzzi threw tens of millions of dollars back and forth in this wave..... nearly half of those 120 million were consumed, and the funds were already very insufficient.....
And then, buying land, security companies, and recruiting people all require a lot of money.
Without money, you can't do anything.
"John, Ron, Mickey," beckoned Tinze, "let's go pick up a few things and exchange some money." ”
Abruci hadn't seen those treasures until now, but he was a little happy to be able to see them at the moment.
The four of them casually entered a room full of treasures and picked them out.
Time is in a hurry.
In the end, the four of them talked and laughed, and according to their preferences, they picked a total of twelve treasures.
The contact details of the various branches of Subi and Gator are online.
Ding Ze personally called over, and the first call was to the headquarters of Subi Auction House in the United States.
Subi Auction House actually has a branch in Miami..... but what does a branch do with this level of trading.
"Hello, this is Subi Auction House," the operator said in a very professional tone.
"Hello, I have twelve treasures that I plan to auction for you, can you send someone over?" Ding Ze asked.
"Sir, what are these twelve treasures? We don't usually come to our doors, it's the customers who deliver the items," said the operator.
"Sculptures, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry," Ding Ze said about the process described by the operator on the Internet, "worth about hundreds of millions of dollars." ”
Groov.
The operator was stunned for a moment, and then, his tone naturally changed, "Sir, what do you call you?" ”
"Johnson-Freeman."
"Mr. Freeman, may I ask where these twelve treasures come from?"
"Hundreds of years ago, the Templars looted it everywhere, and I happened to find it recently."
The "....." operator was stunned.
Even if he is just an operator, he is still in Subi Auction House, and he still has the basic professionalism.
The history of the Templars, the operator probably knew something;
It is precisely because of understanding that I am confused.
You must know that according to relevant records..... it is said that the number of treasures that the Templars have looted or collected in those years is extremely staggering.....
"Mr. Freeman, have you only found twelve treasures?" The operator was excited, and asked with a trembling voice.
Ding Ze smiled, "Of course it's more than that, but I only plan to sell twelve pieces for the time being." ”
When the operator heard this, he was excited and went to the next level, "Mr. Freeman, please wait, I ask the boss to communicate with you." ”
"Don't be, I still have to call the Gall auction house, you can do your own research, if you want to come, I'm in Miami, when the people arrive, call me."
Operator: "....."
Gator Auction House??
Such a big business, running to a competitor?
The operator was in a hurry and hurriedly spoke up.
Pity.
Smack.
Ding Ze had already hung up the phone and called Jiade Auction House again.
The content of the conversation is basically similar.
Not much.
Done.
Ding Ze put away his mobile phone, took a bath, and went to sleep.
*********
Almost at the same time.
The presidents of the American headquarters of Subi Auction House and Gator Auction House all received the news and became extremely solemn.
The reason is simple.
Trinity Church in New York collapsed, and there was a treasure room under Trinity Church, and the treasures in the treasure room were emptied last night.....
They are very well-informed, and they have all heard about it for a long time.
And so it goes.
Within a day, a phone call was made to say that they were going to auction off the treasures that the Templars had plundered around the world.....
Fake news?
No, you can't!
What a coincidence!
And, after a little calculation, at night in New York, the time to empty the treasures under .....the Trinity Church and transfer them to Miami in a certain way is really about the same!!
And so it goes.
It was very reasonable, without hesitation, the two CEOs made a decisive decision, personally led people, and set off to Miami non-stop.
As for saying, contact the FBI to report the news?
Hehe.
This is America!
Whoever discovers the treasure hidden deep underground will be the one who finds it.
Report a fart!
What? Trinity Church may have been blown up by this seller?
What's the matter with them?
They only deal with treasures, and the seller blew up the Trinity Church, which has nothing to do with them.
Will the FBI come to find fault?
It doesn't matter, the big group of lawyers they raised finally have a job to do, and they don't have to be idle.
In the world of capital, capital is king.
For the rest, stand aside.
——
Here, Subi and the two CEOs of the American headquarters of Gedder Auction House boarded the private jet.
The other side.
The ruins of Trinity Church, with the efforts of a large number of people and machinery, were finally cleared out of a downward passage.
Steve Diller, the director of the FBI's New York division, put on a hard hat and immediately led people down the passageway, eager to see with his own eyes what was going on below and verify a suspicion.
Normally, the passage has just been cleared, and now it is very dangerous to go down, and a big man like Steve Diller should not take such a risk.
But Steve Diller did it without hesitation.
Why?
Because, in fact, he is a middle-level member of Freemasonry, and because of the fact that Freemasonry has indeed hidden a lot of treasures all over America in the past few hundred years, and the hiding places of some treasures have indeed been lost over time.....
He seriously suspected that the underground of Trinity Church was one of the hiding places.
If that's true......
He was able to take advantage of this opportunity to have direct contact with some of the upper echelons of Freemasonry, and then it was much easier to go to the next level.
So, for the sake of a better future, what is this risk?
With this expectation in mind, Steve Diller became more and more excited, and unconsciously quickened his pace.
Behind him, a group of FBI agents, including Ma Hong, who arrived not long ago, were a little incomprehensible when they saw this.
Walked for a while.
Suddenly, Steve Diller stopped abruptly, looked at a symbol on the stone wall on the left side of the passage, and grinned silently.
He was sure that the symbol was indeed one used by Freemasonry.
At this point, his suspicion is one step closer to the truth.
Steve Diller only stopped for a moment before moving on.
The other FBI agents either didn't notice the symbol, or they did, but they were a little confused and didn't care.
Mahon is different.
Ma Hong immediately chose to quietly take out a pen and paper from his pocket and write down the symbol.
Unconsciously.
The group arrived at the unrestored treasure room without any danger.
At this point, Steve Diller was 90% sure that this was indeed a treasure spot for Freemasonry.
Thereupon.
After a momentary look at it, Steve Dieller impatiently went back up and ready to make a phone call.
Several agents went up with them.
Ma Hong stayed, and did not cooperate with the other agents who stayed, and only looked at it by himself.
The body of the black man Scheer, who was shot by Ding Ze, is still in this treasure room, but it was almost smashed by a pile of rubble, and it looks really disgusting.
Ma Hongrao is well-informed, and he had to frown slightly, a little unbearable.
However, disgusting to disgusting, Ma Hong still moved his hand without saying a word, and moved the gravel on the black man Schell to the side one by one.
Tossed it up.
The corpse of the black Scheer, revealed.
Ma Hong squatted next to the corpse and studied it carefully.
The results came out that the black man Schell was shot.
'Why?' ’
Ma Hong asked himself silently, and then got up and quickly searched.
There were no other corpses in the treasure room.
Mahon returned to the body of the black man, Scheer, and fell into deep thought.
Half a day.
After a series of thoughts and assumptions, Ma Hong believes that the reason why the black man in front of him was shot is very likely because the stolen treasure was discovered during the transportation of treasures.
'There was supervision at the scene......
'Who? ’
With such a large-scale treasure, there is a good chance that Ding Ze will choose to stare at it in person. ’
'The man killed by Ding Ze .....'
Following his own idea, Ma Hong said silently, and then thought of the gangster fight that happened before at the port.....
Ding Ze brought people over, and the whole operation did not last more than a day from the beginning to the end. ’
'The Scouts, how did you get the information?' ’
'Some of the Abruzzi family, seeing their wealth, contacted the Scrut family, wanting to eat black? ’
'Most of the dead Abruzzi men were traitors?' ’
Come to think of it.
Ma Hong smiled suddenly.
Ding Ze and his gang have internal problems, which is a good thing for Ma Hong.
Mahon had a direction.
********
Outside the ruins of Trinity Church, at the corner.
Steve Diller had just reported his findings to an upper-class member of the Freemasonry.
After hearing this, the upper-level member attached great importance to it, and almost immediately contacted the other upper-level members.
It didn't take long.
A group of upper-level members who can be contacted can roughly determine what the treasure under Trinity Church is by investigating various secret information.
Subsequently.
A group of upper-level members opened a vote on whether to bother those top-level members with this matter.
The voting is over, and the minority obeys the majority.
As a result, the phones of the top members of Freemasonry, including a certain middle-aged man who was meeting in the White House, rang one after another
The top members started a discussion about whether or not to get involved in the matter.
The discussion didn't last long before it came to fruition.
These top members, who can almost be said to be on top of the world, decided to recover the treasure that had been stolen from the underground of Trinity Church.
The reason why this was done was not mainly because of money, but because the treasures, in a way, represented Freemasonry, and the ancestors of Freemasonry sacrificed many people for that treasure......
In a nutshell.
Inheritance is important.
The legacy of Freemasonry cannot fall into the hands of others.
Not much.
The decisions of the top members were quickly conveyed.
Steve Diller, who is a middle-level member, waited for a while before receiving a notice because of his relatively low level, "Steve, the above means to find out the location of that batch of treasures as soon as possible, contact and communicate with the owner, and try to buy it first." ”
"If that doesn't work, then consider other options."
"Okay, I see," Steve Diller nodded hurriedly, happy with happiness written on his face, "I'll find out as soon as I can." ”
Smack.
The phone hangs up.
Steve Diller looked up at the sky and felt that a broad road was in front of him.
——
Miami.
Davis Gali, the boss of Subi's auction house in the United States, arrived first and called Ding Ze.
Ding Ze informed an address for the meeting.
The address is an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.
Just a few minutes later;
Logan Brown, the head of Gator's auction house in the United States, was a little slower and also dialed Ding Ze's phone.
Ding Ze told Logan the same address.
Finish.
Ding Ze took Mickey and drove a van truck loaded with the twelve treasures to the meeting place.
This was followed by three off-road vehicles and twelve heavily armed men, just in case.
Davis Afterburner was the quickest and still got the first step.
Ding Ze was standing side by side with Mickey in the van, smoking and chatting.
"How?" Ding Ze asked with a smile.
Mickey was a little confused, "What's how?" ”
"Isn't this kind of place very criminal-dealing?" The smile on Ding Ze's face became a little thicker.
"....." Mickey glanced at Ding Ze and was speechless for a few seconds, "Boss, you've watched too many TV series these ......" ”
"You know a fart," Ding Ze didn't mind Mickey's yin and yang weirdness, "TV series are good things, you have to watch more if you have nothing to do, you can learn a lot." ”
For Ding Ze, this is the truth.
If he hadn't watched so many American dramas, how could he be so comfortable when he came to this world.
Of course, Mickey is incomprehensible.
"Boss, I have a question, I don't know if I can ask?" After a moment's hesitation, Mickey spoke up.
"Since you don't know, then don't ask," Ding Ze replied with a smile.
Mitch: "..... good. ”
Ding Ze didn't speak again, and when he saw that the black Mercedes-Benz car that had just come in had stopped, he took the initiative to wave his hand and say hello.
Davis Gali saw and knew that Ding Ze was Johnson-Freeman, Ma Yu opened the car door, got out of the car, and only glanced at the subordinates brought by Ding Ze on three sides, so he directly ignored it, and walked towards Ding Ze with an enthusiastic face, and said politely, "Mr. Freeman, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
This kind of courage is worthy of being the boss.
Ding Ze grinned, "Me too, what do you call it?" ”
The word came out.
“???” Mickey was a little overwhelmed.
You don't even know who this is, so you say you too?
Davis - Afterburner didn't care at all, and when he got in front of Ding Ze, he stretched out his hand and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Davis-Afterburner, and I am ......"
As soon as the words fell.
Logan Brown was late, and before the car could stop, he was anxious because he saw Davis Afterburner, and immediately opened the car door, got out of the car, and went straight to Ding Ze.
"Mr. Freeman, I'm sorry I'm late," Logan Brown said in quick succession, holding out his hand.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry," Ding Ze shook hands with the two of them one by one.
So far.
Two people who may be very useful for his future were all present.
Next, let's see if we can do real business with these two people.
——
As everyone knows.
Antiques, cultural toys, art, treasures and other things are very suitable for money.
And Ding Ze will indeed have this demand in the future.
So.
This time, he specially brought Davis-Gali and Logan Brown to the two, the real purpose was actually to talk to the two about the follow-up money problem, and sell the twelve treasures, just by the way.
"Two, let's get down to business first," things have to come step by step, and after a few simple polite words, Ding Ze took the initiative to say, "The thing is in the car, you can go to identify it." ”
As the words came out, Ding Ze walked to the back of the carriage and opened the carriage, "Please." ”
Davis Gali and Logan Brown didn't talk much nonsense, and they all beckoned the appraisers who were still in their cars to get out of the car, and then boarded the van one after another to start the appraisal.
Ding Ze didn't get into the car, lit a cigarette, and waited quietly outside the car.
Curious, Mickey stood at the back of the car and watched the movement in the carriage.
The identification process didn't take much time.
About half an hour later.
Whether it is Davis Gali or Logan Brown, they have confirmed the authenticity of the treasure, and more importantly, further confirmed the previous conjecture that Ding Ze was the one who stole the treasure under Trinity Church!
Then.
It was extremely reasonable, and the two got out of the car, and they were both excited.
No way.
The twelve treasures in the carriage alone are worth hundreds of millions of ......
The treasures in Ding Ze's hands, taken together, must not be worth at least billions.....
It's a huge business, and if you can talk about it, it's not going to be a lot of money.
"Mr. Freeman, you are really young and ......"
"Mr. Freeman, do you like to drink? I know there's a private club in Miami....."
The next second.
With the purpose of talking about the auction of all the treasures in Ding Ze's hands in one fell swoop, Davis Gali and Logan Brown tacitly chose to be shameless and blew rainbow farts wildly.
Mitch was stunned from the sidelines, and couldn't stop despising Davis and the two..... and at the same time, yearning for Ding Ze!
'A real man is going to be like this!' Mickey thought wistfully.
"Two bosses, there is no need for this, let's finish things first," Rao is cheeky enough, being praised by these two middle-aged people, Ding Ze was also a little unbearable, and interrupted, "Let me first say my request, these twelve treasures, I need to receive the money within three days, is there a problem?" ”
"No problem!" Davis Gali and Logan Brown replied in unison, without hesitation.
The reason is simple.
On the one hand, both of them hold many top private collectors in their hands, and it is very easy to sell these twelve treasures within three days as long as they contact them.
On the other hand, Ding Ze's request actually has a lot of room for maneuvering...... Big deal, Subi and Jiade digested it themselves...... It's just a few hundred million dollars, and it's not a matter of digesting it at all.
"Okay, you can talk about the cost or something," Ding Ze said again.
Face this problem.
Davis Gali and Logan Brown still did not hesitate, saying that Ding Ze did not have to pay any fees, and the fees would be paid by the buyers.
"Refreshing," Ding Ze nodded with a smile, "I just like refreshing people, then there is only one thing left, these twelve treasures, which of you bosses will take them." ”
"I'll need to talk to both of you about this."
Davis Afterburner and Logan Brown were both in agreement and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, Mr. Nagali, let's go over and talk first," Ding Ze said to Davis-Gali, who had no ink.
The two quickly came to the side.
Xi Qian is a kind of thing, and it doesn't make sense to say it in a twist and turn.
Ding Ze handed over a cigarette and went straight to the point, "Mr. Gali, I will have a new business soon, which will probably bring in tens of billions of dollars a year, and this money needs to be laundered, have you done it?" ”
Davis Gali just took the cigarette, after hearing this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, his face was solemn, he didn't say anything immediately, lit the cigarette, took a puff, looked at Ding Ze carefully, and then realized the real purpose of Ding Ze calling them to Miami, and was slightly surprised.
"Mr. Freeman," Davis Gali began, "that's why you called me and Logan." ”
Ding Ze admitted calmly, "Yes." ”
Davis-Afterer exhaled a puff of smoke, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Mr. Freeman, I'm afraid you're mistaken, we're doing serious business, and of course we won't do anything as illegal as money." ”
Is that the answer?
No!
Because after saying this, Davis Gali did not turn around and left, and stood still where he was.
Looked at.
Ding Ze immediately guessed the reason why Davis Gali said this, and was happy, "I'm not an undercover police agent. ”
Davis-Afterburner smiled silently, with a 'see me believe it or not' posture.
Ding Ze saw it and pondered for a while.
Actually, at this moment.
Davis Afterburner, it's basically an admission that they have this business.
In that case, there's no rush anyway......
"That's it," Ding Ze didn't say much, "we can get in touch later, and then you'll know if I'm undercover." ”
"Okay," Davis-Afterburner said, and then, he took out a business card from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to Ding Ze, "Welcome to contact me then; ”
End of conversation.
The two walked back.
Ding Ze then spoke with Logan Brown.
Logan Brown's reaction was largely the same as Davis-afterburner.
Ding Ze had a result.
Return to the van.
"Thank you very much for the arrival of the two bosses, so how about twelve treasures, six for each person?" Ding Ze proposed.
Davis Ghalley and Logan Brown already know what Ding Ze really wants and have little to do with this arrangement.
About twenty minutes later.
The contract was signed.
Twelve treasures were removed from the van, and Ding Ze left.
