close mad son-in-law

Director Sun asked for compensation from the messenger behind the scenes, but of course Xu Qiang didn't know about it.

He is calling Wang Hanlin now.

"Vice President Wang, I'm more interested in one of the items and want to buy it now, can you contact the seller for me?"

Xu Qiang thought very clearly that if he was really a fisherman, he would definitely not agree to a private sale. Only by taking it to the auction can he catch more fish, bigger fish.

"The auction items are collected by the auction company, and the Antiques Association is only responsible for identification and auxiliary publicity. The information of the auction item provider is completely unknown to the association." Wang Hanlin flatly refused.

Xu Qiang frowned slightly, he didn't believe it at all.

According to his speculation, a considerable part of the auction items at the auction should be provided by the Antique Association. How could the Antique Association not have information?
Wang Hanlin refused him because he didn't want to help him.

Xu Qiang was not too disappointed, because this call was just a test.

Then he called Wei Qinghai and asked Wei Qinghai to help.

Contact an auction house that works with the Antiques Society and dig up seller information.

"Brother Xu, I have already found the seller. I asked someone from the auction house to contact him yesterday, but the seller did not agree to a private transaction at all!" Wei Qinghai called Xu Qiang when he was at work the next day.

Xu Qiang nodded, confirming their guess.

The appearance of the small wooden box is likely to be someone fishing.

It is normal to disagree with private transactions, and the other party wants to catch big fish.

"What is the identity of the seller?"

"I don't know. The other party should have a false identity and has rich experience. When passing by the camera, he used a hat to block his face, so his face was not photographed at all. According to the people from the auction house, it should be a forty or so person. Foreigner, blonde..." Wei Qinghai said on the phone.

The information he can provide is all from the auction house.

However, the employees of the auction house are just ordinary people, and they also observe from the perspective of ordinary people, and the information they provide is not of much value.

The only valuable news is probably that the seller is a foreigner.

Of course, there are too many foreigners in Huaxia now, and in a slightly larger city, you can often meet them when you walk on the street. Such a feature alone is not enough for Xu Qiang to lock the target.

He needs more detailed information, a more accurate description of his appearance.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't agree to a private transaction. I want to see the small wooden box with my own eyes. Is there anything you can do?" The seller has rich experience, which makes Xu Qiang even more sure that the other party is fishing.

Let him be more cautious, he will never be a fish to be caught.

Wei Qinghai told Xu Qiang, just go to the auction house directly.

After all, he is the boss of Ice City. Even if the auction house has a strong background, he should give him three points of face. There is no problem at all in entering the vault to look at the auction items.

At noon, Xu Qiang came to the auction house.

It is one of the three large auction houses in Ice City, and someone has been waiting for it for a long time.

"Hi, Mr. Xu, my surname is Hou, you can call me Xiaohou!" Xu Qiang was greeted by a man in his 30s, older than Xu, but he called himself Xiaohou in front of Xu Qiang.

"sorry to bother you!"

"It's not troublesome at all. Come with me, and I'll take you to the underground vault!" After speaking, Manager Hou led the way all the way to the underground.

Along the way, Manager Hou laughed and talked, and he was a very talkative person.

"I want to enter the underground vault before the guests, the chairman's order has arrived, right?" When I came to the underground vault, I saw that the guards were heavily guarded.

The security personnel in charge of guarding checked Manager Hou's identity and let him go. As for Xu Qiang, they didn't check at all.

Obviously someone has said hello, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.

"Mr. Xu, do you know our chairman?" Manager Hou asked Xu Qiang in a low voice while waiting for the vault door to open.

"I don't know!" Xu Qiang looked at the door of the safe.

It was built according to the security level of a bank vault. Even if ordinary people came, they would not be able to open the door at all, let alone break in.

The heavy gate cannot be destroyed by ordinary methods.

"The security level is not bad, but it still can't stop me!" Looking at the style of the gate, Xu Qiang quickly knew it, and he couldn't stop him.

He had previously carried out a mission abroad to take out a dangerous item from a rich man's underground vault, and that rich man's vault had the best insurance measures in the world.

The security level was at least two levels higher than the auction house vault in front of him, but Xu Qiang went in and took out the things he wanted to take out smoothly.

But the rich man didn't notice it at all. It wasn't until he took another item three days later and entered the underground vault that he realized that something had been stolen.

But three days have passed, and Xu Qiang is already safe.

Although the vault in front of him was bigger than the rich man's vault, its security level was lower, so of course it was not in Xu Qiang's eyes.

It's just that there's no need to break in, and only through Wei Qinghai's relationship.

"But the chairman personally explained it!"

"People I knew in the past knew your chairman!"

While the two were talking, the door to the vault was already open.

Xu Qiang and Manager Hou were not the only ones who entered the vault.

There were also two security personnel who entered behind them.

"It's in this safe!" Soon he came to a safe.

Manager Hou opened the safe and took out a box on the upper floor.

Open it, and it is the wooden box that Xu Qiang wants to see.

"It's such a strong aura..." Xu Qiang opened his ghost eyes, and saw that the rich aura was almost substantial, which made him believe at a glance that the small wooden box must be what Falcon wanted.

Even if the tortoiseshell folding fan he got yesterday is worth at least [-] million yuan, the intensity of the aura is far inferior to this small wooden box.

Xu Qiang put on his gloves and picked up the small wooden box to watch.

very heavy!

The small wooden box is only a little bigger than a fist, even if it's made of gloomy wood, it shouldn't be too heavy normally, but when Xu Qiang holds it in his hand, it feels like it weighs at least 50 catties.

Even if it is a solid piece of iron, it is at most this heavy, right?
"Be careful, it's very heavy!" Seeing Xu Qiang reaching out to pick it up, Manager Hou, who was very aware of the weight of the small wooden box, reminded Xu Qiang while reaching out his hands to Xu Qiang's.

Prevent Xu Qiang from letting go, so that they can catch it immediately.

And the two security personnel who followed were staring at the two behind them. They were preventing them from carrying private goods.

Whether it is bringing in things from the outside or taking out things from the inside, as long as it is not approved, it is not allowed.

"Why is it so heavy, do you know why?"

"I don't know. More than a dozen experts have identified it, but none of them gave an answer. We even tested it with a metal detector, but there was no metal reaction, which means there is no heavy metal in it!" Manager Hou saw Xu Qiang There was no sign of a miss, so he withdrew his hand and answered Xu Qiang's question.

Do you not understand the inspection?
Xu Qiang output his true energy, trying to detect the internal structure of the wooden box.

But to his disappointment, the real essence couldn't penetrate the wooden box at all.

However, under normal circumstances, true essence can penetrate wood.

After careful inspection, it was confirmed that every detail of the small wooden box was recorded by Xu Qiang, but nothing of value was gained.

Helpless, Xu Qiang could only put down the small wooden box.

Put it back in place before leaving the underground vault with Manager Hou.

"Does the seller disagree with the current transaction?" Xu Qiang asked.

"It turned out that he didn't agree, but after the chairman agreed to let you enter the vault, the seller actually called and said that it is possible to trade privately, as long as anyone can come up with 50 billion, the trade can be done immediately!" Speaking of this , Manager Hou couldn't help laughing.

The price is 50 billion. He has also worked in the auction house for so many years, and he has never encountered it before. It is really a bit of a lion.

In his opinion, unless he is a fool, and a fool at the level of the richest man, no one will pay 50 billion to buy a wooden box.

"It's indeed a bit expensive!" Xu Qiang nodded.

There are very few people who can come up with 50 billion at once.

Even those at the top of the domestic rich list, it is difficult to come up with 50 billion at once, because most of their assets are fixed assets, not liquid funds.

Xu Qiang left the auction house and immediately contacted Zuo Yingyan.

A small wooden box appeared at the auction, and it was a public auction.

This matter cannot be hidden from Zuo Yingyan at all, so Xu Qiang decided to report in advance to see how Zuo Yingyan reacted, so that he could prepare in advance.

An hour later, the two met at a coffee shop.

The last time we met, Zuo Hawkeye made up as a woman in a bar, who was a little older, but this time he made up as a middle-aged man.

"No matter how good your make-up skills are, you can't change your aura!" Xu Qiang smiled coldly in his heart facing Zuo Hawkan who had signaled.

Now he has mastered the magical ghost eyes. When identifying a person, he can identify it through the aura. No matter how subtle the makeup technique is, it is useless.

"Why do you want to meet me so urgently?" Zuo Hawkeye asked.

"Look at this..." Xu Qiang opened the homepage of the Antiques Association's website.

Find the auction area and find the introduction page of the small wooden box.

Seeing the small wooden box, Zuo Hawkeye froze for a moment.

Obviously he didn't know the news, so he was taken aback for a while.

At the same time, he also told Xu Qiang that the small wooden box is very important.

"Go and take a picture!" Zuo Hawkeye ordered after thinking for a moment.

"I need funds!"

"How much do you need?" When Falcon performs a mission, it will provide a sum of funds to the person performing the mission in advance according to the requirements of the mission, rather than advance the person performing the mission.

If funds are insufficient for a task, additional funds can be requested.

Of course, you can't apply unlimitedly, because there is a special department in Falcon that will review the fund consumption of the people who perform the tasks.

Xu Qiang was temporarily recruited, and of course no funds were allocated in advance.

"I once asked the auction house that the transaction can be completed in private. The seller wants 50 billion. If you want to get the small wooden box now, you can directly mobilize 50 billion. If you participate in the auction normally, I estimate that you should prepare at least 10 billion. , the premise is that only we know the secret of the small wooden box, otherwise we need to prepare more funds!"

"50 billion?" Zuo Hawkeye frowned.

Falcon is not a rich and oily organization. If it is said that it is trying its best to spend 50 billion, it will definitely affect the normal operation.

"Can't you think of a way?" Zuo Ying looked at Xu Qiang.

"It's not that I don't want to move it, but that I know too little about the information about the small wooden box, so I dare not move it!" Xu Qiang looked at Zuo Hawkeye.

Zuo Hawkeye must know more about the small wooden box.

"I will ask the headquarters immediately. You should pay close attention to the news of the small wooden box and wait for my notification!"
