Vol 4 Chapter 8: Kunwu Jade Pei

Later, the goddess used a huge sum of millions to build a temple dedicated to the Jade Emperor in the countryside. Since then, the incense has continued and the business has been better. It is worth noting that there is a golden helmet and golden armor beside the Jade Emperor who looks like Liu Yanzhi. This is not to be mentioned. .
Liu Yanzhi originally wanted to find Hu Banxian’s whereabouts, but this person’s dragon was not seen, and the fortune-telling shop next to the Lama Temple was closed for a long time. There was no one for the time being, so he could only proceed to the next step and go to the United States to find Hannibal to settle accounts. This is a private matter, so I didn't bother the party and patriotism. I formed a team with Guan Lu and Liu Handong, both of whom readily agreed.
A hundred years ago, it took dozens of days to cross the Pacific on a cruise ship. Nowadays, it takes ten hours to reach San Francisco on a wide-body airliner. Although the first class cabin is not as spacious and comfortable as a cruise ship, the fare is the same. The era is the most luxurious way of travel.
Liu Yanzhi didn’t need money and bought first-class tickets for both of his teammates. After arriving in San Francisco, Liu Yanzhi wanted to cherish the memory of the past. He stayed there for one night and went to Chinatown to hang out. The old place of Yanzhi Laundry is now a large chain laundry. The shops, the streets are prosperous, and the neon lights are flashing. The scenes from a hundred years ago are played back in his mind, Lin Su, Lin Su, where are you?
According to intelligence, Hannibal had been in New York these days, so the team crossed the North American continent and arrived in New York the next day. Domestic flights usually landed at Newark Airport. This was not the first time Liu Yanzhi came to New York. When dealing with Dr. Samuel's case, he and Guan Lu had been to New York and New Jersey.
Handong Liu used to spend some time in New York. He was familiar with the road. He took them to take a taxi to explore Manhattan. When passing by a building, he introduced:
The building in front is the property of the Chen Zikun family. It’s a billion dollars, and it may be more expensive now..."
　　 "How long have you not been to New York?" Guan Lu said, "That's a high-end hotel, OK?"
When the car drove past, Liu Handong was dumbfounded. The building was turned into a hotel, with a sign at the door, and a doorman and waiter were waiting. The taxi driver is a very talkative Mexican. Drivers all over the world have a virtue. Just talk a lot. He told the foreign guests from afar that this place was indeed the property of the Chen family, but last year the Chen family went bankrupt and the house was sold.
　　 "The Chen family is bankrupt?" Liu Handong was surprised. The Isabella family is one of the famous families in New York.
Back at the hotel where he was staying, Liu Handong searched the Internet for news about the bankruptcy of the Chen family. It turned out that it was Chen Jiao and Tan He’s son, that is, Isabella’s uncle who failed to participate in international financial speculation, and owed huge debts, which directly led to bankruptcy and family business. It’s not enough to sell, and the relics from the family’s ancestors will be put up for auction.
Handong Liu immediately contacted Isabella. He didn't have the phone number of the other party. He found it through his Facebook account. After asking, Isabella was in a low mood. Not only was her uncle ruined her family property, but there was another important reason. It was her film "General" that she invested in a disastrous box office failure and a mess. This film takes Chen Zikun as the protagonist and reflects the theme of modern Chinese history. It was originally negotiated to introduce the Chinese market and everyone gave it high hopes, but at a juncture, China refused. Introduced, so they encountered Waterloo, which made the situation worse.
There is no such thing as a century-old family. The Chen family ceased to exist as early as the death of Chen Zikun in the 1990s. In fact, it was only the in-laws of the Tan family that continued in New York. Now the Tan family has also lost, and the New York Mafia Cassino family also The crowd is not prosperous, and the storm is precarious.
"Handong, can you help me? It's going to be auctioned tomorrow. They are all the relics of my great-grandfather. Grandma is very sad, but she can't help it. We can't help it. For the sake of uncle, the auction must be held." Isabella Choked up.
　　 "I..." Liu Handong said that I don't have any money either, so I can only act as a bid to raise the auction price. Of course, he finally agreed.
　　 At the same time, Liu Yanzhi is also investigating Hannibal's whereabouts. The party's patriotic intelligence system is very powerful. It is found that Hannibal will participate in a Sotheby's small auction tomorrow, where you can meet him.
　　 The door was knocked. It was Liu Handong. The two touched each other's information and found that Hannibal was participating in the auction of the Chen family's collection. They simply did two and made one.
　　 "I will prepare weapons, what do you like to use?" Liu Handong said, "It is not easy to get guns in New York, but I have a way."
　　 "Find a hardware store and buy me some of the largest cement nails." Liu Yan said straight.
　　……
　　 The next morning, the Mercedes-Benz prepared by the hotel was waiting at the door. The trio went downstairs in formal clothes, got on the car, and went straight to the auction house. Before that, they paid a deposit through their relationship and obtained the bidding qualification, otherwise they would not even be able to enter the venue.
This is a small auction. The auction items are all collected by the Chen family, including Chen Zikun’s nine lion sabers, military uniforms, sandalwood furniture that the Chen family has collected over the years, and celebrity calligraphy and paintings. The most precious piece of jade is said to be Chen Zikun. The bottom price of the personal items is the highest, half a million dollars.
　　 A high-definition photo of the jade pendant appeared on the big screen. It was said to be a jade pendant, but it was actually just a round piece of mutton fat white jade with the two seal characters "Kunwu" engraved on it.
　　 Liu Yanzhi felt like he had seen this jade pendant somewhere.
The venue was small, and there were not many people coming. It was sparse and mainly of Chinese descent. Isabella sat with a silver-haired old lady in the back. Liu Handong stepped forward to say hello and came back and said that the old man belonged to Chen Zikun. The youngest daughter Chen Jiao.
　　 Liu Yanzhi's mind immediately came to mind on Christmas Eve 1948, when he took the young Chen Jiao soaring on a snowy night. The innocent and cute little girl in the past is now an old man at dusk, I don't know if she remembers herself.
　　 The auction has begun. Buyers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland are not interested in modern cultural relics. Their focus is on sandalwood furniture. The auction went on smoothly. After the furniture was sold out, the auction of cultural relics started, and Hannibal has not yet come.
Chen Zikun’s nine-lion saber had a reserve price of 100,000 US dollars. Someone raised a placard. Liu Handong looked back at Isabella’s grandson and grandson. The old man’s face was as usual, but his calm expression concealed the sadness. In the eyes of the Chinese, this is a prodigal behavior.
　　 Liu Yanzhi also glanced back, turned his head and said to Liu Handong: "Follow."
　　 Guan Lu teased: "Why not follow? This is not blackjack."
　　 Liu Handong raised his placard to increase the price. The opponent resisted a little bit twice. In the end, the saber was shot by Liu Yan for $150,000.
　　 Followed by other collections, Liu Yan directly instructed Liu Handong to do everything next, regardless of the cost. Anyway, he has money. Even if the account is not enough, he can ask the party for patriotism.
Hannibal did not appear until the last collection was auctioned. Liu Yanzhi had already photographed all of Chen Zikun’s relics, and this piece of suet white jade with the inscription
Kunwu
would not fall, but the dark horse finally appeared. A buyer who had been sitting in the corner without holding a placard finally made a move, determined to win.
Liu Yan turned his head and took a look. This person knew him, his name was Zou Yijun, he was Ji Yugan’s best friend, he called himself a jade idiot, and he especially liked collecting high-grade suet white jade. Appreciation space.
In a time and space that had been tampered with earlier, Zou Yijun and Liu Yanzhi had a relationship, but Zou Yijun did not know Liu Yanzhi at this time. He just raised his cards again and again, and stared provocatively at this side, the breath of a mainland tyrant. Bashing.
　　 Soon the price was raised to two million US dollars, which has exceeded Liu Yanzhi's ability to afford it.
　　 "Go and talk to him." Liu Yan said straight, "Persuade him not to oppose me."
　　 Liu Handong put down the sign in his hand, walked to the corner, sat beside Zou Yijun, and whispered: "Man, leave a way for yourself, you won’t survive tonight if you take this photo."
　　 Zou Yijun looked at him contemptuously: "Who are you, you are scared of me, the Fuqing Gang in New York, the Mafia are all my friends, you can try to move me, you can't even get out of this door."
　　 Liu Handong said: "Then there is no discussion?"
　　 Zou Yijun waved his hand: "Don't come to this set, if you have money, you can add more money, and if you don't have money, you can play the egg."
　　 Liu Handong shrugged directly at Liu Yan, expressing that he could do nothing. Liu Yanzhi raised his placard again. Zou Yijun was calm and calm, and followed by raising his placard. Every time he bid was only a little bit higher than the opponent, he made it clear that he was deliberately irritating.
The originally boring auction has entered a white-hot state, and other buyers are not leaving. They are enthusiastic to watch who this jade pendant will get. The jade pendant with the reserve price of 500,000 US dollars was carried to 10 million US dollars. There is no intention to stop.
　　 Chen Jiao, who was sitting in the last row, was puzzled and asked his granddaughter: "Who are they?"
Isabella said: "They are all from the mainland~EbookFREE.me~ Chen Jiao screamed, with mixed feelings. In the 1980s, mainlanders who could come to the United States were all scumbags and poor. Now the mainland has the largest number of upstarts, and California’s housing prices have been fired up by them. Now two mainlanders are fighting for a piece of jade, fighting to death and death. Father's relics fall into the hands of such a vulgar generation. It is simply a kind of blasphemy.
　　 When the price reached 20 million U.S. dollars, Liu Yanzhi became impatient, grabbed the sign in Liu Handong's hand, raised it up and shouted: "100 million!"
Five times directly, this is not a bidding, this is vindictiveness. It is just a jade pendant worn by a politician during the Republic of China. Even if it is made of mutton fat and white jade, the number of grams is not large, and it is considered a success to get a million dollars. No one thought it would reach an astronomical figure of 100 million.
　　Zou Yijun was also stunned by this number. He couldn't recall it for a while. The auctioneer raised his hammer: "One hundred million US dollars. Is there anything higher than this number?"
　　 "One hundred million dollars at a time!"
　　 Zou Yijun is calling.
　　 "One hundred million dollars for the second time!"
　　 Zou Yijun raised his placard again, his expression had changed from arrogant to solemn, and there was an uproar in the audience.
　　All eyes are on Liu Yanzhi, expecting him to hit another sky-high price.
　　 Liu Yan directed at Zou Yijun and made an inviting gesture, indicating that he would not overweight.
