Marry and fall in love with the wealthy young master

Hu Kaixuan said: "As soon as Howard and others delayed the contract, these people appeared. It should not be a coincidence. It is very likely that this person came to Howard for a deal by himself or by someone else."

Shen Sizuo said: "That's an international cultural relic dealer, or a broker. I think the agarwood bracelets he wears are all very valuable, and they should be professionals in the industry. Maybe... it's a special place for appraisal."

Side door, in addition to the general pornography, gambling, drugs, black, in the antique industry, it seems that there is one more, robbery/tomb.

The state has long banned the excavation and theft of ancient tombs.But in the face of huge profits, it is still repeatedly banned, and there are even gangs committing crimes.

He Xiaotian said: "I also think this is the case. After all, foreigners need professional appraisal when buying ancient cultural relics like ours. It would be great if we can confirm the identity of this person!"

Gu Ran said: "Otherwise, let's try first. Now the domestic investigation technology is very advanced, and it is connected to the Interpol network. As long as this person has a criminal record in this area, I think he can find out who he is."

Regardless of the time difference, Hu Kaixuan sent the video and photos to Professor Ma, explaining what happened, and asked him to ask the police officer Li who came to appraise the incense burner last time to help implement this matter.

Professor Ma also felt that this was unusual.But it was late at night, and it was not convenient for him to disturb Officer Li's rest at this time.

Everyone was very anxious, and Professor Ma called Police Officer Li early the next morning.After making an appointment for an interview, Professor Ma sent the video and pictures and rushed to the police station.

After police officer Li received the video from Professor Ma, he checked it in the internal database, and the result was very surprising.

This person should be Yuan Fangyi, the leader of a gang that steals and resells cultural relics across the country. He has long been on the wanted list in China.

Professor Ma immediately informed Gu Ran and others who were far away in the UK of the news.

If it was really this person, Shen Sizuo and the others would naturally not believe it, he would kindly buy this national treasure and return it to the motherland.I'm afraid that after obtaining this national treasure, they want to resell it at a high price again.

Officer Li immediately notified Interpol to inquire about Yuan Fangyi's bank accounts and companies in various countries, and tried to seal up the companies and accounts under Yuan Fangyi's name to cut off their sources of funds.

As soon as Professor Ma received the notice from Officer Li, he immediately told Gu Ran and others the good news.

At this time, there were only two days before the auction officially started.

With these evidences, Hu Kaixuan and Gu Ran came to Howard's house and handed all kinds of evidence to Howard.

Gu Ran said: "Mr. Howard, if you don't fulfill the purchase contract that you have verbally agreed with us, we can only apply to the British government for seizure on the grounds that the source of the phoenix head statue is illegal and suspected of stealing and smuggling cultural relics. "

"You Chinese are following me?!"

Howard watched the video and immediately roared: "This is not China. In the United Kingdom, where justice is the most important, such so-called evidence obtained by secretly filming and secretly recording will not be accepted by the court. What you do will only make me feel Without sincerity, I cannot trade with you at all!"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Whether these things will be accepted by the court will not be known until a lawsuit is filed. As long as we negotiate with the British government through the government/government, the Fengshou Zun may be illegally sold to the UK by a domestic cultural relic excavation and smuggling group." , There is a high probability that the case will be filed. Once the case is filed, regardless of whether my evidence is accepted or not, as evidence and stolen goods, Fengshouzun cannot be traded until the end of the case trial.

In this case, how do you cover your stocks?At the same time, this will also delay the return of our national treasure.This kind of situation that hurts both sides, Mr. Howard, I think you must not want to see it. "

Howard said helplessly: "It's not that I refuse to sell it to you. The price of 470 million US dollars you mentioned before is indeed too low, not enough for me to cover my position. That Mr. Yuan is willing to bid 500 million US dollars. Of course I want to get more a little."

It seems that $500 million is Howard's bottom line.At this time, Gu Ran didn't have time to discuss with Hu Kaixuan, so she made a decision directly: "Since this is the case, we will make some concessions, and use this price to buy the Fengshou Zun. Otherwise, Mr. Howard, let's see you in court!"

As soon as Howard finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.He is still negotiating with there, and that person has already paid 500 million.But he hasn't agreed yet, and he feels that he may still be able to talk about 550 million.

Gu Ran immediately guessed what Howard was thinking.

Gu Ran sneered and said, "Howard, do you still want a high price? I regret to tell you that the police in our country have seized many accounts under Yuan Fangyi's name, and the blocked funds have reached tens of millions of yuan.

And because of our country's negotiations with Interpol, Yuan and several of his main gang members have been wanted worldwide.If you don't know the consequences of doing business with such a person, we will be happy to tell you. "

"What, Mr. Yuan, he is..."

Howard suddenly turned pale with shock. He hesitated for a while, then slumped on the chair and said, "Then it's 500 million US dollars as you said. You can pay the deposit, and I hope you can prepare the full payment as soon as possible."

Although the repurchase progressed slowly and the process was tortuous, thanks to the efforts of Hu Kaixuan, Gu Ran and others, the negotiation was finally successful.

Now that Qigou has made great progress and is only waiting to prepare funds, both of them are very happy.

Gu Ran went to the supermarket with Shen Sizuo, wanting to have another big meal to celebrate together.

The most prominent position in the supermarket is fresh strawberries.Off-season strawberry sales from local plantations.After buying 1 get 1 free, it is 1.5 pounds per box, and one box is 125 grams.

Seeing Shen Sizuo looking at the bright red and attractive fruit, Gu Ran smiled and said, "Do you want to eat it? Come a few boxes!"

Shen Sizuo is still calculating the exchange rates between the two countries, Gu Ran has already taken a few boxes and put them in a basket, "Tens of millions can afford it, and I don't care about it."

Shen Sizuo said: "It's different! For the sake of future generations, tens of millions of dollars should be spent. But five or sixty yuan a catty of strawberries is unnecessary!"

"What five or sixty yuan? It's obviously six yuan a catty. If you're local, you have to consider the local prices, don't think so much."

As Gu Ran said, she stuffed a few more boxes of strawberries into the shopping cart, "Even if I don't rely on the Gu family, I won't let you have the freedom of cherries and strawberries. Even if I go to a restaurant to play the piano for a day, I can Let you eat all kinds of fruits until you are full."

I don't know why, but he just likes the little details with ordinary people like Gu Ran.The more mundane and trivial it is, the more it has nothing to do with the rich and powerful, the more smoky and fascinating it is.

Shen Sizuo pursed his lips, and quietly took Gu Ran's arm.Anyway, no one knows them in a foreign country, anyway, this is a corrupt country, there are many young men holding hands on the street, anyway, no one knows that they are an agreement...

However, Gu Ran didn't feel nothing in her hands.He turned his head to look at Shen Sizuo and said: "One candy can fool you every time."

"what!"

Shen Sizuo said with a smile: "Have you never watched that kind of funny video? They all promised very well, and ran away after eating it! I am also a scumbag, running away after eating your strawberries."

Gu Ran unconsciously reached out and clasped his five fingers, "Why don't I run away after eating?"

There were a lot of people around, Shen Sizuo couldn't help but his face became hot, afraid of being seen by others, he hurried away pushing the shopping cart.

In addition to strawberries, they bought steak, red wine, and some seafood to go back and prepare to celebrate by themselves first.

"Jack, don't run!"

Shen Sizuo just walked to the door of the house with his bag in hand, when he bumped into a child who rushed out.

"Ouch!"

When Shen Sizuo turned his head and saw Mary fell to the ground, he was startled, and hurried over to help her.

Shen Sizuo picked up Mary, took off the mask and said, "Are you okay?"

"It's all right."

Mary smiled and patted the dirt on her legs, "Hello, the beautiful Chinese brother next door!"

Shen Sizuo couldn't help laughing at Mary's complicated address, pulled her up and said, "Just call me brother!"

"Mary, why are you so slow? We're going to finish the fried chicken if you don't come back!"

At this time, a boy with brown hair, blue eyes, and a few small freckles appeared from the window next door. It was Jack.

"Come on!"

Mary jumped up and turned her head to Gu Ran who was in the distance, waving her hand and said, "Goodbye, the long-legged Chinese brother next door!"

Gu Ran also felt that she couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help laughing: "Good Mary, goodbye. Come to our house to eat fried chicken another day, I'll take care of it!"

The two went back with their things.Gu Ran looked at the bag of strawberries they bought, and said to Shen Sizuo: "I'll cook, you go cook the strawberries into strawberry jam."

Shen Sizuo suddenly opened his mouth wide and said, "I haven't eaten fresh ones yet, why make strawberry jam?!"

Gu Ran smiled and touched his face, "Didn't you eat the apple pie from Mary's mother last time? It's a tradition for neighbors to give gifts to each other here. If you eat something from others, you should return the gift!"

"That's right, okay then."

Shen Sizuo said: "How much do you need to do?"

Gu Ran was counting the ingredients in the bag, thinking about what to make for dinner, and said casually, "One kilogram."

"what?"

Shen Sizuo counted his bag of strawberries, "There are only 8 boxes in total, you mean I made them all, and I can't eat any of them, right?!"

Only then did Gu Ran realize that his tone was wrong, she subconsciously looked up, and seeing that Shen Sizuo's face was flushed, she couldn't help laughing, hugged him and said, "No, I didn't mean that. Two catties of strawberries, plus sugar, can only make one catty of strawberry jam. Then, do you see the round jars I prepared for you before? Then one jar is 500 grams. You give people back gifts, always It’s pretty much the same, so you can’t send half a catty of strawberry jam? After all, Mary’s mother has three children! But it’s not so strict, you can wash it and eat a few first. If it’s not sweet, you can ask for more Adding sugar, isn't it?"

"I would have bought a few more boxes if I knew it earlier, it's you spending the money anyway!"

Shen Sizuo also felt like a greedy child, a little embarrassed picked up those boxes of strawberries and went to the kitchen.

Gu Ran also went to the kitchen with the ingredients, and while marinating the steak, she reminded Shen Sizuo to put the washed strawberries into clean water, "One kilogram of strawberries, 300 grams of sugar, you can cook it into a sauce, add it when it is about to come out of the pan." Just a little lemon juice..."

Before Gu Ran finished speaking, a strawberry was stuffed into her mouth suddenly.
