Back at the hotel, Li Mo first contacted Chen Xiaojun in China, explained the matter here in detail, and told him how to deal with those top art works when they arrived in China.He also asked him to invite Professor Qu and Professor Zhao and his wife from the Art Department of Peking University, and they would have good suggestions on how to arrange the oil paintings.

After everything was arranged, Li Mo quickly took a hot bath, and then got into bed and fell asleep beautifully.

It was already noon the next day when I fell asleep and woke up naturally.

After washing and getting dressed and leaving the room, I saw Dashan and the others standing in the corridor boredly chatting with each other drinking water.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"It wasn't long before we woke up. Steven had insomnia all night, and he had two big dark circles under his eyes."

Dashan said with a pointed smile.

Steven scratched his head and said, "It's very difficult for me to fall asleep after the sleep time. I must go to bed early tonight."

The insomnia was fake, mainly because Li Mo rewarded him 100 million dollars last night, knocking him out all of a sudden.Although there is some money in hand, it is the first time for such a large bonus.And last night he declared his allegiance, and Li Mo accepted it, which was the main reason why he was too excited and caused insomnia.

"Steven, the Chinese restaurant you found yesterday is a parallel importer. I will treat you to a seafood feast and a steak feast later. Don't be too polite, you are asking for your own hunger."

"It's just not right not to kill a big family, Mr. Qin, please."

May made a gesture of invitation.

"Mr. Qin, the people transferred from China can arrive around [-]:[-] p.m., and the rooms have already been opened. We just wait for them to check in. Shall we go out for a stroll in the afternoon?"

"Go, we have an antique store now. The Antique Festival is coming soon. Wouldn't it be strange not to open the door? Besides, there needs to be reorganized over there, and the empty space must be replenished as soon as possible."

"Ok."

It is not a common expense to eat a seafood meal in the most famous downtown hotel in Seattle, but everyone is not soft-hearted. You can order as big a lobster as you like, and order the fattest king crab. All kinds of fresh Seafood is on the table one after another.

"You don't try the top-notch steak Wellington?"

Li Mo watched them desperately ordering seafood, sighed softly and said: "If you have a bad stomach, you should take it easy, or you will be so pulled that you won't be able to stand up from the toilet."

"willing."

May raised her chin proudly.

"May, tell me honestly, what is the standard of the other half in your eyes? I'm not bragging, there are talented people full of knowledge, gifted business prodigy, upright retired soldier king, and Superb chefs, etc. I'm not afraid that you ask too much, but I'm afraid you don't.”

"Mr. Qin, you are too worried."

"The few of us can be regarded as friends. Isn't it normal for friends to care about each other?" Li Mo ordered some steaks and two bottles of red wine, and then said, "Dashan, where do your wives and children live?"

"In my hometown in northern Jiangsu, I have two daughters, the eldest is only three years old."

"If they are willing, they can live together in Kyoto, where the quality of life and educational conditions are better. In the future, your wife will be arranged to work in our company, and she will not be treated badly. Stinghead, Xingkong, you two too."

The three men looked at each other, obviously very moved. With Li Mo's ability, it was only a matter of one sentence.

"It seems that I feel too bad if I don't find a man to marry as soon as possible."

May sighed lightly, and everyone laughed.

In the afternoon, a group of people returned to the antique shop.The underground secret room and the aisle outside were rearranged and arranged, and then Steven and the others went out and bought a lot of porcelain, jade, sculptures and oil paintings and came back to fill up the vacant places in the store.

It was dark by the end of everything.

"Mr. Qin, the small-leaf red sandalwood box from the Mughal Dynasty that you found yesterday is still in my bag."

"Take it out, I will open the wooden box, open a blind box in front of everyone, and see what good things are inside."

Several people gathered around, Da Shan put the small-leaf red sandalwood box on the round table, Li Mo picked it up and looked at it for a while, and then took a light with a spotlight flashlight.

"In May, there is a tool bag at the counter where the cash is collected. Check to see if there are needles and other things in it. Anything thinner is fine."

Wu Yue quickly brought some very thin steel needles: "See if this works?"

"can."

Li Mo picked up a needle in each hand, and then aimed one at the eyeball of the ugly dragon, and the other at a concave place where the dragon pattern was.At the same time, poke it hard, only to hear a click inside.

Only then did Li Mo try to open the wooden box lid again, and it went smoothly.

"It's a pair of bracelets. The animal's head looks a bit strange, but the tongue that's exposed is a bit cute."

May muttered.

"This is a bracelet inlaid with gold and gemstones from the Mughal Dynasty. Because of the differences in national culture, we think the animal heads carved on this pair of bracelets are a bit strange, but in their eyes they are the most perfect and beautiful."

Li Mo took out one of the bracelets and looked at it: "Although the quality of the jade is not as good as our country's Hetian jade, it is still very delicate overall. It is estimated that it will be worth three or four million yuan at least."

He didn't steal money as fast as Li Mo.

Ding ding, the copper bell hanging at the door rang, and three American men in their 50s walked in. They were wearing windbreakers and carrying travel bags, and they looked around as soon as they entered.

Steven looked back and hurried up to communicate with them, and Wu Yue and the others showed strange expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Qin, they are all friends of the original owner of the antique shop here. When they learned that he died of a sudden illness, they came here from Africa. It was only because of an accident that they came to Seattle after a month."

Simple translation in May.

Steven walked up to Li Mo at this time and said: "The three of them are friends of the former boss, and they said that this antique shop was also his life's painstaking effort. Now that their old friend passed away, they are very sad, and they want to sell this antique shop together. The store will buy it back, so come here and ask the new boss what he means.”

"We just bought this antique shop at a bidding price yesterday afternoon. It is impossible to transfer it to them. Besides, I spent 2000 million dollars. Even if it is transferred, are they willing to pay 3000 million dollars to buy it? If they are willing, I will Go through the formalities with them immediately, and if you don’t want to, don’t mention it in the future. Also, even if they are willing to make this deal with me, they have to wait until the Antique Festival is over, and don’t accept any form of bargaining.”

What old friends, this place is basically a den of thieves, and their purpose may be to go after the top artworks in the underground secret room.

So Li Mo directly doubled the price to test them.

Steven translated the original words, and sure enough, the faces of the three people showed anger, but the few people in the store were obviously not easy to mess with, and they only expressed their dissatisfaction with the price in a small way.

"It's interesting, Mr. Qin, they said that this antique shop was won by bidding for 750 million dollars yesterday, not 2000 million dollars at all, they are willing to bid 1000 million dollars, so that you can easily make 250 million dollars by changing hands. "

Li Mo just smiled, did not refute their words, but pointed to a porcelain on the Bogu shelf and said, "Ask them, if they sell this porcelain from China, how much can they sell for?"

The three American elders looked at each other, and at the same time stepped forward to remove the porcelain from the antique shelf to have a look.

Wu Yue translated on the side: "He said that the porcelain is an imitation of the Qing Dynasty Jiaqing pink and white gourd amphora, which can be sold for five hundred to eight hundred dollars."

"But I can sell for a hundred times the price, so I can easily make $250 million when I take over this antique store. Then I can make five times, ten times, or even a hundred times. Since they are the former Friends of the boss, you should understand that in the antique business, food is a meal of talent. Steven, see off the guests."

Steven was friendly and wanted to send them out, but one of the American guys was in a hurry, and he said something excitedly.

"He said that they don't have that much money at all. If you are willing to make it cheaper, they still have two antiques from China that can be exchanged at a discount."

Only then did Li Mo show interest, thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Antique Festival, and I will bring Chinese antiques to interview at nine o'clock in the morning. We will not wait for outdated ones. Let me remind you again, don't use fakes to fool me .”

The three American guys left, seeming a little anxious.

"Mr. Qin, do you want to send someone to watch here tonight? I feel that they will make some movement tonight, and they will probably check out the situation below."

Dashan came over and asked.

"If they are in the same group, then they will definitely have a lot of antiques in their hands. You follow up and have a look. If they make small moves at night, you should also make some small moves for them."
