The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

On the day of the charity auction, An Qingyue and Li Yan and I took a car to the entrance of Genting Hotel.

The hotel is large in scale and magnificent. A huge fountain pool shines in front of the door, making the whole building even more magnificent.

On both sides of the red carpet, there were neatly arranged reception ladies. They were dressed in uniform cheongsam, dignified and generous, and greeted the guests with smiles.

We walked slowly in, and from time to time there were gentlemen and ladies in formal clothes walking by.

Everyone is dressed luxuriously, has a graceful demeanor, and every gesture reflects their extraordinary magnanimity.

Bentleys, Rolls-Royces and other luxury cars are constantly flowing at the door, which is dazzling just looking at it.

Pushing open the door of the banquet hall, there was a sea of ​​people inside, bustling with people.

The crystal chandelier hangs high from the dome, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

Flowers and champagne were everywhere, adding to the luxurious atmosphere of the entire banquet.

The guests chatted in small groups or enjoyed fine wine and food at the long table.

Everywhere reeks of the copper stench of Vanity Fair.

For this important occasion today, I specially wore a custom-made Armani suit, paired with a neat and crisp white shirt, which made my temperament more elegant.

As for Li Yan and An Qingyue, one wore a black backless fishtail dress, showing her charming style.

One chose a bright red tube top dress with stunning red lips.

The two beauties holding my arms were like flowers surrounded by flowers, which made many men present look at me with side eyes.

"Mr. Yang, come here and introduce me to you." An Qingyue was very familiar with this kind of situation. She held my hand and led me through the crowd.

As a veteran in the business world, she has extremely wide connections in the local area, and someone greets her almost every few steps she takes.

"This is the CEO of Petronas, the largest developer in Kuala Lumpur over there, and this..."

An Qingyue introduced me eloquently, and I responded with a decent smile and shook hands with them one by one.

These people are all tycoons worth over 100 million and control the economic lifeline of Malaysia.

Being able to get acquainted on such an occasion will undoubtedly be of great benefit to us in establishing ourselves locally in the future.

Soon, the auction officially began.

The host was a famous Malaysian actress. She walked onto the stage elegantly in a champagne-colored dress.

After a brief opening remarks, she began to introduce the first auction item - which was a masterpiece "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh, taking this opportunity to tour the exhibition.

"This is one of Mr. Van Gogh's most representative masterpieces." the host said affectionately. "The bright starry sky in his paintings is a reflection of his inner turmoil and loneliness. This kind of awe for nature and life reflects A hundred years later, it still shocks our hearts..."

As she explained, the paintings on the big screen were gradually enlarged, vividly showing every detail.

The guests in the audience held their breath and were all impressed by the charm of this painting.

Soon, the bidding process began.

"Ten million!"

"One thousand and two!"

"One thousand and five!"

The shouts of price one after another are endless.

Every bid is setting new auction records.

I watched quietly, secretly marveling at the financial resources of these rich people.

A mere painting can make them donate so generously. This may be the charm of art.

In the middle of the auction, a painting suddenly caught my attention.

It was a landscape painting. The brushwork seemed ordinary, but the outline of the mountains, trees and rocks had an otherworldly feel.

The most special thing is that the author of this painting is actually anonymous.

"It is said that this is the masterpiece of a local master of calligraphy and painting." The host said mysteriously, "He did not want to be named and only left this calligraphy treasure. It can be seen that he is a hidden master."

As soon as the words fell, An Qingyue came close to my ear and whispered: "Mr. Yang, there is a rumor that this painting is most likely painted by Lin Tian. You must seize the opportunity."

"Lin Tian?" I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

It is really surprising that the eldest young master of the Lin family is so elegant.

If I could take a photo of this painting, I might be able to take the opportunity to meet him privately and have a chat.

It seems that An Qingyue's information is really timely.

After thinking for a moment, I raised the number plate in my hand.

"One million!" I shouted loudly and fired the first shot.

"One million and two hundred thousand!" someone in the audience followed.

"One and a half million!" I showed no sign of weakness and increased the amount again.

At the auction, the situation was tense and the competition was extremely fierce.

Everyone seems to realize that this unknown painting may hide some unknown mystery.

The price soared and soon exceeded two million.

"Two million and a half million, is there anyone else? Two and a half million..." The host's voice echoed over the hall.

I looked around and saw that my competitors had ceased to exist.

It seems that this price has exceeded their psychological expectations.

I was secretly glad that if it hadn't been for An Qingyue's advice, I would never have made such a big bet on an unknown painting.

"Two million six hundred thousand, the first time, two million six hundred thousand, the second time..."

I held my breath, my heart pounding.

"Two million six hundred thousand, the third time, the deal is done!"

With a crisp hammering sound, the audience burst into warm applause.

I breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but have a happy smile on my face.

This painting finally came to my home.

Next, it depends on Lin Tian's reaction.

After the auction ended, I couldn't wait to find the staff and planned to collect the lots. Unexpectedly, the other party told me that the painting had to be sent for appraisal first, which would probably take a few days.

Just when I was wondering, An Qingyue looked calm and whispered in my ear: "Mr. Yang, don't worry, this may be a signal that Lin Tian wants to see you privately. Just stay put and wait for him to take the initiative to contact you."

I nodded, thinking that An Qingyue really knew this.

If Lin Tian was really the author of the painting, he would definitely come to visit.

This is much stronger than asking him.

For the next few days, I stayed put.

Sure enough, Lin Tian's secretary quickly called to make an appointment, saying that Mr. Lin wanted to meet with me privately and explain the origin of the painting to me face to face.

The appointed day soon arrived.

This is a secluded private club. When I entered, the bodyguards at the security check searched my whole body very carefully.

I smiled nonchalantly and walked into the box openly.

Lin Tianzheng was sitting on the sofa, wearing a black velvet suit, his hair meticulously tied back, looking aloof.

"Mr. Yang, nice to meet you." He stood up and shook my hand politely, "Are you satisfied with that painting?"

I didn't answer directly, but just smiled faintly: "Master Lin is such a good artist, no wonder he doesn't want to sign it. If it gets spread, I'm afraid the value will increase several times, right?"

Lin Tian's face darkened slightly when he heard this.

He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said calmly: "Mr. Yang, you are speaking harshly. Those are just some graffiti from my early years, and they are not elegant. If others knew about it, I would be afraid of being laughed at by the world. ”

"Young Master Lin is too humble." I said, neither humble nor condescending. "This kind of painting skill is not something that ordinary people can achieve. But since you don't want to show off, I don't want to say anything. It's just..."

I paused deliberately and stared at him with stern eyes: "I've always had a problem, that is, I'm too curious. Master Lin went to great lengths to conceal his identity, and even asked someone to auction it off. I'm afraid there's something hidden in this. ?”
