Chapter 387: Brothers of the Niu Family
Tang Yuan looked at the brand-new mission reward, his eyes slightly straightened.
From Tianmu Dojo to Tianmu Dao Palace, although there is only a change of one word, this momentum has become completely different, and the latter is undoubtedly more majestic and divine than the former.
In addition, the special construction fund of 50 billion RMB seems to be a bit exaggerated, Tang Yuan can't imagine how spectacular, gorgeous, and vast the scale of the Dao Palace built with 50 billion RMB.
At that time, I will stand on the top of the Taoist Palace and shout: All the weather is swinging, and my Taoist day is prosperous!
Just thinking about that picture makes people a little excited.
Well......
At this moment, Tang Yuan suddenly understood a little why those ancient emperors were so keen on building a wonder, because after this wonder was built, it was indeed really fragrant.
Tang Yuan imagined the future situation, and after being excited for a while, he picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and then stood up from the chair, did not waste any more time, turned around and went into the bedroom to sleep.
……
Meanwhile, the W neighborhood of Los Angeles.
As one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Los Angeles, it is not only home to many gangs, but also a shelter for many homeless people, and chaos and violence become the main theme here every night. Crime is commonplace here, and people die almost every day, either from disease, or from starvation, or from drug PIN or from shooting.
At this time, somewhere in the middle of this chaotic neighborhood, there was a dilapidated house in disrepair, and there was still a little dim light inside, which looked slightly dazzling in this mostly pitch black environment.
"Boom!"
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door with some regularity, breaking the silence of the night.
I saw that in front of the dilapidated house, there was a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap and a mask, a leather jacket and jeans, his eyes were always focused on the surrounding environment, and any wind and grass would cause him great nervousness, quite a sense of a cup bow and snake shadow.
"Squeak......
A moment later, the door in front of the middle-aged man slowly opened a gap.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately dodged and got in.
"Niu Jianxiong!"
"Where the hell did you go?"
"Look what time it is!"
"If you don't come back, the labor and management will think that they are dead outside!"
As soon as the middle-aged man closed the door, there were several scoldings behind him, although the other party was scolding in a suppressed voice, but it was not difficult to hear from the tone alone, and the other party was very angry now.
"You think I want to come back so late?"
"I'm telling you, if it weren't for my cleverness, you might not have seen me!"
Niu Jianxiong turned around, he looked at his younger brother in front of him, who was seven points similar to him, and responded with a sneer.
"What do you mean?"
When the other party heard this, his anger froze slightly.
"I don't know what the police and immigration departments in Los Angeles are crazy about today, they don't sleep in the middle of the night, and they are catching smugglers all over the streets." Niu Jianxiong strode to the refrigerator, unscrewed the bottle of liquor and poured it into his mouth: "Fortunately, I found out something was wrong in advance, and immediately found an opportunity to withdraw, otherwise I would definitely have to plant it tonight with the current inventory intensity outside." ”
"Is there something irritating to the police and immigration departments in Los Angeles?"
"Why did you suddenly start to investigate?"
Niu Jianrong showed a little melancholy on his face, and subconsciously asked Niu Jianxiong.
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
Niu Jianxiong rolled his eyes, then ignored Niu Jianrong anymore, and walked straight in the direction of the storage room, while Niu Jianrong followed Niu Jianxiong into the storage room together.
Turning on the light, the whole view of the storage room appeared in front of the two of them.
It's no different from a normal people's storage room, and it's all kinds of miscellaneous items, piled up in various corners randomly, and it doesn't look neat at all.
After Niu Jianxiong entered the storage room, he walked straight to the northeast corner, and then he opened his big hand like a fan, pulling all the sundries in front of him to the side, and finally revealing a square item covered with a dust cloth.
After seeing this object, Niu Jianxiong, who was originally extremely rough, suddenly became delicate, he grabbed the corner of the dust cloth, and carefully dragged it off the square object.
When the dust cloth is removed, the contents under the dust cloth are revealed.
I saw that this item was a tripod-shaped bronze.
The body is oblate, short-hoofed, and engraved with moire.
Niu Jianxiong looked at the tripod-shaped bronze in front of him, and a little heat flashed in his eyes.
As professional tomb robbers, the Niu brothers have been engaged in this industry with their father since the age of 15, more than 20 years ago, they robbed countless tombs and opened holes, and stole hundreds of precious cultural relics.
Bronze!
Ding-shaped bronzes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!
Such an object, even if it is placed in a national museum with a large collection, is enough to become a treasure of the town.
When the Niu brothers realized that the things they stole this time turned out to be national treasure-level cultural relics, they felt extremely excited, and they had no intention of handing it over to the country at all, so they immediately used their previous sales channels to smuggle this national treasure-level tripod-shaped bronze to the United States imperialism.
Over the years, the Niu brothers have always had their own stable customer base, most of these people are rich people in the United States, they don't care where these things come from, they only care about the quality of these things, and these people are usually very rich, and they are very happy to trade.
However, today is different from the past, and the price of national treasure-level tripod-shaped bronzes is not at all comparable to the things they sold in the past, so after the two brothers arrived in Los Angeles, they never acted rashly, and silently searched for target customers who could afford to buy tripod-shaped bronzes through their previous sales channels.
It's just that the process is a little difficult.
In the minds of the Niu brothers, this tripod-shaped bronze is worth at least $80 million, and the target group who can easily spend $80 million to buy antiques is obviously not something that the two tomb robbers can touch.
Selling low, the two were unwilling.
Sold high, the two didn't know each other.
Because of this, it has been almost a month since the Niu brothers came to Los Angeles, but there has been no progress.
Niu Jianxiong stood in front of the tripod-shaped bronzes, looked at them silently for a few minutes, then picked up the dust cloth again, re-wrapped it, and finally re-stacked the surrounding debris around the tripod-shaped bronzes to camouflage and cover up.
"Ah Rong, the last five days."
"If we can't find a suitable buyer, we will contact Feige, give him a profit of 20%, and ask him to help us find a buyer."
"I've been feeling a little restless lately, making less money, making less money, even if we divide two percent of the profits, the remaining eighty percent is enough for us to spend the rest of our lives in style."
Niu Jianxiong sighed, turned to look at Niu Jianrong and said.
"Okay."
"Now it seems that this is the only way to go."
Niu Jianrong bowed slightly, although he looked a little unwilling, but he did not refute Niu Jianxiong's proposal, obviously he had enough of such a worried life.
"Lock the door and go to sleep."
"It's been a restless day outside, so let's stay at home."
Niu Jianxiong patted his younger brother on the shoulder, briefly admonished him, and then took the lead out of the storage room and walked in the direction of the upstairs bedroom......
