Chapter 803: An auction that does not follow routines (please collect and recommend)
After hearing Luo Jialing's words, Xu Zhengyang's entire city was stunned for nearly a minute.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood up, "Let's go to the reference room."
Of course they have data from various periods of Ovechkin here. According to the time point mentioned by Xu Chuan, Xu Zhengyang led several facial recognition technicians to repeatedly analyze the images.
“There are indeed subtle differences between Ovechkin five years ago and now.” This is the final conclusion.
Xu Zhengyang frowned. This matter is really unbelievable. It takes a huge amount of work to truly replace a person, let alone the president of a country. The people around him, his confidants, and the medical team are all Need to find a way to deal with it.
He thought a lot about how he would do this if it were his own, but he came to the conclusion that the gains outweighed the losses. The possibility of failure after investing countless resources was close to 70%, which left no room for maneuver.
We can only hope that everyone on our side is eating shit, otherwise it will be impossible for just one first lady to dispel everyone's suspicions.
Luo Jialing stood aside and did not disturb Xu Zhengyang's thinking. Time passed by minute by second. Finally, she couldn't help but asked, "Do you want to give him the information about First Lady Bai Gen?"
Xu Zhengyang looked up at her, "Do you know what this guy is going to do?"
Luo Jialing blinked. Well, she was so shocked after hearing the news that she even forgot to ask.
“Forget it, you can tell him the information. Maybe after being teased by this kid, there might be an unexpected surprise.”
Luo Jialing breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she would be criticized, but this guy seemed to have told her this just to get information about the first lady. What did she say at that time?
“Uniform?”
Xu Zhengyang looked at the little apprentice in front of him who seemed a little angry but shy, inexplicably, "What uniform?"
"Nothing!" Luo Jialing almost jumped up, then turned and ran out of the office, "I'll go get him a message."
Xu Zhengyang looked at her furious back and couldn't help but laugh, but the smile was fleeting. He thought about the words in his mind, then picked up the phone on the table, "Please pick up the phone for me."
…
In the New Jersey organization base, Amanda and Sean Pierce are watching an assassination operation against the President of the Republic of China in the command center. A Russian agent named Lisa has disguised herself as a college student studying in Riyusk. , successfully approached President Bai Danwo at a charity dinner hosted by the Polish Embassy.
"This is Blue Jay, confirming that the first phase of the mission is completed." Agent Lisa's voice sounded in the communication system.
The real-time location of the agent is marked on the map, and Agent Sonya reports to Amanda. "Lisa has passed the guard post at the President's residence."
"Very well, let her start Operation Cold Shadow." Amanda looked at Lisa's physiological information displayed on another screen and gave the order expressionlessly.
“Copythat” Lisa replied. This time she was invited to enter this special official residence, which was the best time for her to complete her task.
Sean Pierce and everyone were paying close attention to what was happening on the screen, including Alex, who was sitting aside and seemed to have nothing to do with herself.
"Wait a minute, I might be in trouble here." Agent Lisa's voice came again, along with many other noisy sounds.
As she approached Ovechkin's office, she unfortunately encountered a patrol.
There were gunshots at the scene, followed by the sound of Lisa fighting back. In less than a minute, she heard a scream, and then a Russian voice came from the communication system.
It was obvious that Lisa was knocked to the ground. Her physiological signals were still showing that she was probably just captured alive.
After experiencing a brief moment of confusion, the people in the command center quickly executed the termination procedure, erasing all traces of Agent Lisa.
There is only one outcome for them being captured. No one will recognize the identity of these agents, and of course there will be no rescue operation.
“We can dispatch an emergency hostage rescue team from Ramstein Air Force Base, or you have a more sophisticated QRF (Quick Reaction Force).” Sean Pierce stood up and walked to Amanda.
Amanda looked at him and hesitated to speak, which made Sean Pierce feel confused. He turned his head and looked at the other people in the command center who were also looking at him, "What are you doing? Move quickly."
"There will be no rescue operation, that's not our style." Amanda said leisurely on the side.
Sean Pierce didn’t understand very much, “That’s your agent, she’s still alive.”
Amanda looked at the other party seriously and said, "Sean, can we talk in another place?"
“No, if you have anything to say, just say it here.”
Amanda looked helplessly at the other people in the command center, who turned their heads with a look.
She lowered her voice, "The agents in the organization all know the dangers of performing tasks, and they all know what sacrifice is." Amanda tried to speak tactfully, meaning that these people are all pawns.
Sean Pierce seemed to have heard something very funny. He shook his head, "No, I don't have the habit of abandoning my comrades. I will bring her back. You'd better fully support my actions. If you think there is a problem, just Go call your boss."
At the end he almost shouted.
Amanda's face was not very pretty. This was the first time that someone did not leave her any room.
Alex looked at Sean Pierce's back from the side and suddenly felt that this was a very good opportunity. She got up and chased after him.
“There should be no one else but me who dares to talk to Amanda like this.” Xiao Ai caught up with her in front of the elevator.
"Thank you for your affirmation." Sean took a breath. He had long been dissatisfied with the organization's actions, and this time it completely broke out.
“I’ll go with you.” Facing Sean’s confused expression, Alex said, “After all, she went on the mission because I rejected Amanda.”
The elevator door opened and Sean walked in. He looked at Alex with a mocking smile on her face, "Isn't it because we should save her?"
“How are we going to get there? Take civil aviation?” Alex didn’t answer his question and walked into the elevator and asked.
“No, we can’t leave entry records.” Sean Pierce replied, “Let’s go to Germany first and find a plane at the Ramstein base to parachute into Baidu.”
"You should have learned HAHO (high jump, high jump)." Sean's eyes made Alex feel very uncomfortable.
The two people arrived at the airport by car. A military plane was already waiting on the tarmac. Before boarding the plane, Sean Pierce took out a box and handed it to Alex.
“What is this? A gift?” Alex took it with confusion on her face.
"I took it out in the evidence room." Sean's face seemed a little unnatural.
Alex opened the box and was stunned. Inside was a watch, which belonged to Alex's father. She raised her head and looked at Sean Pierce with complicated eyes, "Thank you."
She had absolutely no reason to refuse this gift.
The two people boarded the plane, and the relationship between the two parties seemed to be less tit-for-tat than before.
…
Xu Chuan, who was in Riyuesk, of course didn't know that his assistant was on the way here. He was studying the information given to him by Comrade Luo Jialing about the first lady of the White House, Cassandra. The first lady, who loves art very much, is a frequent visitor to major art centers and auction houses around the world. Her schedule is almost always spent watching exhibitions or on the way to see them.
Last year, she spent almost 30 million U.S. dollars on auction items, and her reputation and reputation in the auction house are very good.
Word of mouth? Ha, this woman is laundering money, Xu Chuan's first reaction was this.
So the question is, who is she laundering money for? Is it Ovechkin? Xu Chuan planned to meet the first lady with this question.
This woman is definitely not as simple as Michael said. Men always feel that the women they have **** with need protection. This may be genetically determined. Little do they know that others may be complaining about your mentally retarded behavior.
At the Castrol Auction House in Riyuesk, the auctioneer's hammer fell and "the deal was done"
"The auction below is Collection No. 1149, a portrait of Eva González and an oil painting on canvas by Edouard Manet." Several staff members carefully placed the paintings on the shelves and showed them to the guests present. Read it again.
“The starting bid is £75,000.”
Some of the people sitting below were waiting and watching, and some were preparing to bid. The first person to hold up the placard was a woman with blond hair wearing luxurious custom-made clothes. She looked to be in her early thirties. Of course, maybe it was because of her good maintenance. After all, Xu Chuan's information Cassandra is approaching forty.
As the placards were raised one after another, the price of the oil painting has reached 250,000 pounds, which is several times higher than the auction price. The highest price was of course paid by Cassandra.
The price has reached the psychological limit of others, and no one else has bid. The auctioneer looked at everyone, "Is there anyone else bidding? Two hundred and fifty thousand for the first time, two hundred and fifty thousand for the second time..."
Kassandra has a confident smile on her face. This is already the thirteenth painting she has taken by the same author.
“Five hundred thousand.” A voice sounded from the corner.
Everyone turned around and looked at the bidding position, where a young Asian was sitting.
This is of course Young Master Xu. Curtis, who was sitting next to him, covered his face, feeling that he might be kicked out.
"Okay, someone has bid up to 500,000 yuan. Is there anyone else bidding? 500,000 yuan is the first time..." The auctioneer was very excited. This was his KPI.
Kassandra frowned and raised her sign again.
“five hundred and fifty thousand”
Xu Chuan leaned back on his chair without looking like he was sitting down, and then raised the sign, "Seven hundred and fifty thousand."
The auction price has increased tenfold, and everyone began to whisper among themselves.
This time Cassandra looked back at Xu Chuan, and then did not raise her sign.
Tsk, Master Xu is very unhappy. Why doesn't this man play his cards according to the routine?
“Boss, screw it up, I don’t think that broken painting is worth so much money.” Curtis laughed at his boss.
Xu Chuan watched the auctioneer's hammer fall and wanted to grab it and hit him on the head.
It's too late, you shouldn't. Xu Chuan recalled the information in the intelligence. This woman collected more than ten works by this author in a year and a half, and at least ten of them were photographed anonymously.
This is clearly intended to hype up the collection price. How could she let this painting fall into the hands of others?
“Don’t worry, she will definitely come to find me.” Xu Chuan said confidently, with a gentle smile on his face, and he received the applause of everyone present, but he always felt that these people were saying that he was taken advantage of.
Kassandra walked out of the room, and then whispered a few words to her assistant. The female assistant, who was wearing a suit and a pair of glasses, nodded and walked to the office area of the auction house.
Xu Chuan expressionlessly took out his credit card and handed it to the auction house staff. The girl with short blond hair used all her strength to take the card away from the other person's two fingers.
Curtis was going crazy with joy, but when he saw that everyone else was paying attention, he kindly reminded him, "Boss, many people are watching."
Xu Chuan let go, and the young lady stumbled and fell on the sofa opposite. Well, the color of the hair on the human body is indeed the same.
Sigh, Xu Chuan sighed and was not in the mood to study why the other person was so cool inside.
The young lady walked into the office with a red face. She didn't think that the other party did it on purpose. After all, the limit of the card in her hand could buy their auction house. If the other party was interested, she wouldn't mind having an affair with him at all. Issues.
"Damn, am I here to buy oil paintings?" Xu Chuan looked at Curtis, whose eyes were already shining, and wanted to give him a kick.
Although he thought the deal should be worthwhile, the feeling that his little idea had failed really made him unhappy.
After a while, a tall man in a crisp suit came over and introduced himself as the manager of the auction house. Then he handed back Xu Chuan's credit card and finally put the prepared bidding information for the paintings on the table.
They provide door-to-door delivery, as long as Xu Chuan provides an address.
Xuchuan reluctantly filled in the address of his hotel.
"By the way, Mr. Grylls, are you interested in meeting another collector? I think there should be a common language between you." Finally, the manager said this.
Xu Chuan’s eyebrows twitched, and he was very happy. He knew that the person who wanted to see him must be Cassandra.
“Of course, I also want to make a few more friends.”
Great, Kaizi, no, the real owner has finally appeared.
The manager took him to a lounge, and sure enough, Cassandra and her assistant were already waiting here.
"Hello, this is Mr. Grylls, I'm Cassandra." This woman had a very friendly smile on her face, so that no one who faced her would feel disgusted.
Xu Chuan also had a smile on his face and said, "Hello, it's the first lady." Then he walked up and hugged the other party according to Western etiquette, once, once, and now there is no need to be polite.
Hmm, Michael has a good eye.
Kassandra stopped the assistant beside her with her eyes. Xu Chuan had actually noticed that this young lady who stretched her suit very tightly was definitely a fighting master.
"Sorry, I'm not very familiar with your etiquette here." Xu Chuan explained with an innocent look.
"Um, it's nothing, I have something to ask Mr. Grylls." Cassandra's smile remained unchanged, and she even straightened her waist to make her curves more visible.
“Can you give me that painting? I’m preparing for an exhibition recently.”
Xu Chuan nodded repeatedly, "No problem, of course."
The smile on Kassandra's face became even brighter, "Then you give me a price." The other party came from the auction, so she couldn't really buy it at the original price. A little increase would be considered as hush money for the other party.
"Okay, you can just give me 1.5 million pounds." Xu Chuan was so happy that there was such a good thing.
