Chapter 82 Auction House, an important transaction [6k]

New York is not too far from Miami.

Around noon, Ding Ze and his party arrived at one of Miami's private ports.

The truck Arbruzzi arranged to transport the goods had been waiting at the port for a long time.

As soon as the cargo ship anchored and stopped, everyone got busy and transferred the treasures to the truck again.

Everything went smoothly,

After all the treasures were loaded into the truck, everyone set off back to the hotel rented by Abruzzi.

As for the crew of the cargo ship that brought them to Miami...

Ding Ze didn't move.

One is because they are no longer on the high seas. This is a port. Killing so many people in broad daylight will inevitably attract attention.

The second reason is that all the treasures are tightly covered, and the staff do not know what they are transporting... Moreover, those staff are not ordinary people. They have a lot of problems themselves and will not follow them. Dealing with the police.

The third reason is that they are back, and even if the FBI comes to find them, it will be nothing.

Back to the hotel.

After piling all the treasures into the rooms on the first floor of the hotel, Ding Ze stretched himself. After living so hard for such a long time, he urgently needed to take a bath and rest.

However, there was one more thing he needed to do before resting.

He needs to select a few treasures, and then contact Souby and Jiade Auction House to get some funds back as soon as possible.

After all, Abruzzi has invested tens of millions of dollars in this wave... Nearly half of the [-] million has been consumed, and the funds are already very insufficient...
Next, buying land, a security company, and recruiting people all require a lot of money.

Without money, nothing can be done.

"John, Ron, Mickey," Dingze greeted, "let's go pick out a few things and change some money."

Abruzzi has never seen those treasures until now. Now that he can see them, he is a little happy.

The four of them casually entered a room filled with treasures and picked them out.

Time flies.

In the end, the four of them talked and laughed and selected a total of twelve treasures based on their preferences.

Contact details for various branches of Souby's and Good Auction Houses are available online.

Ding Ze called in person, first calling the headquarters of Souby Auction House in the United States.

Soapy Auction House actually has a branch in Miami... But with a transaction of this level, what would a branch do?

"Hello, this is Souby Auction House," the operator said in a very professional tone.

"Hello, I have twelve treasures that I plan to auction for you. Can you guys send someone over here?" Ding Ze asked.

"Sir, what are these twelve treasures? We generally don't come to your door. Customers deliver the items," the operator said.

"There are sculptures, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry," Ding Ze learned about the process described by the operator online. "It's worth hundreds of millions of dollars."

hum.

The operator was stunned for a moment, and then his tone naturally changed, "Sir, what should I call you?"

"Johnson-Freeman."

"Mr. Freeman, may I ask, what is the provenance of these twelve treasures?"

"Hundreds of years ago, the Templars snatched it from everywhere, and I happened to find it recently."

"..." The operator was confused.

Even though he is just an operator, he still has basic professional qualities in Souby Auction House.

The operator probably knew something about the history of the Templars;

It is precisely because of understanding that I am so confused.

You know...According to relevant records, it is said that the Templar Knights robbed or collected an astonishing amount of treasures in those years...
"Mr. Freeman, did you only find twelve treasures?" the operator asked excitedly, his voice trembling.

Ding Ze smiled and said, "Of course there are more, but I only plan to sell twelve pieces for the time being."

When the operator heard this, his excitement became even higher. "Mr. Freeman, please wait a moment. I'll ask the boss to communicate with you."

"Farewell, I still have to call Jiade Auction House. You can do your own research. If you are willing to come over, I am in Miami. When they arrive, give me this number."

operator:".…."

Jiade Auction House? ?

Such a big deal went to a competitor?
The operator was anxious and spoke quickly.

pity.

pat.

Ding Ze had hung up the phone and called Jiade Auction House again.

The content of the conversation is basically similar.

Soon.

Contact completed.

Ding Ze put away his phone, took a shower, and went to sleep.

*********
almost the same time.

The bosses of the American headquarters of Soapy Auction House and Jiade Auction House all received the news and became extremely solemn.

the reason is simple.

The Trinity Church in New York collapsed. There was a treasure room underneath the Trinity Church. The treasures in the treasure room were emptied out last night...
They are all well-informed and have heard about it a long time ago.

As such.

Within a day, someone called and said that they wanted to auction the treasures that the Templars had looted from around the world...
False news?
cant!
What a coincidence in timing!

Moreover, after a little calculation, in New York at night, the treasures under the Trinity Church were evacuated and transferred to Miami through some means... The time is really about the same! !

As such.

Very reasonably, without any hesitation, the two bosses made a decisive decision, personally led the people, and set off to Miami without stopping.

As for contacting the FBI and reporting this news?

Ha ha.

This is America!

The treasure hidden deep in the ground belongs to whoever finds it.

Report a fart!

What?Could this seller have destroyed Trinity Church?

What's the matter with them?

They only deal with treasures. The seller bombed Trinity Church, but it has nothing to do with them.

Will the FBI come looking for trouble?

It doesn't matter, the bunch of lawyers they raised finally have work to do, and they no longer have to be idle.

In the world of capital, capital is king.

For the rest, step aside.
-
Here, Soapy and the two CEOs from the American headquarters of Jiade Auction House boarded a private jet.

the other side.

The ruins of Trinity Church were finally cleared of a downward passage through the efforts of a large number of people and machinery.

Director of the FBI New York Division, Steve Diller, put on his safety helmet and immediately led people down the passage, eager to see what was going on below and verify a suspicion.

Normally, the passage has just been cleared, so going down now is very dangerous. A big man like Steve Diller should not take such a risk.

But Steve Diller did it without hesitation.

why?
Because he is actually a middle-level member of the Freemasons, and because the Freemasons have indeed hidden many treasures throughout the United States over the past few hundred years. Some of the treasure hiding places have indeed been lost over time. …..
He seriously suspected that the underground of Trinity Church was one of the hiding places.

If it is...

He was able to take this opportunity to have direct contact with some of the upper-level members of the Freemasonry. After that, it would be much easier to move up to the next level.

So, for the sake of a better future, what is this risk?

With such expectations, Steve Diller became more and more excited as he walked, and unconsciously accelerated his pace.

The FBI agents who were following behind him, including Mahone who arrived not long ago, were a little confused when they saw this.

Walked for a while.

Suddenly, Steve Diller stopped abruptly, looked at a symbol on the stone wall on the left side of the passage, and grinned silently.

He determined that the symbol was indeed a symbol once used by the Freemasons.

At this point, his suspicions were one step closer to the truth.

Steve Diller only stayed for a moment, then continued walking down.

The other FBI agents either didn't notice the symbol, or they did, but were a little confused and didn't pay attention.

Mahone is different.

Ma Hong immediately chose to quietly take out a pen and paper from his pocket and write down the symbol.

unconsciously.

The group of people arrived at the treasure room, which was no longer the same, without any surprises.

At this moment, Steve Diller is [-]% sure that this is indeed a Masonic treasure trove.

then.

After pretending to look at it for a while, Steve Diller returned impatiently, ready to make a phone call.

Several agents followed him up.

Ma Hong stayed and did not cooperate with the other agents who stayed behind. He just looked around by himself.

The body of the black man Shel, who was killed by Ding Ze with one shot, is still in the treasure room, but it was almost smashed to pieces by a pile of rubble, and it looked really disgusting.

Ma Hongrao was so well-informed that he had to frown slightly, a little helpless.

However, feeling disgusted, Mahone moved his hands without saying a word and moved the gravel on the black man Shel's body to the side piece by piece.

Toss a pass.

The body of the black man Sher is revealed.

Ma Hong squatted next to the body and studied it carefully.

The results came out and Scheer, a black man, was shot.

'why? '

Ma Hong asked himself silently, then stood up and searched quickly.

There were no other bodies in the treasure room.

Mahone returned to the body of the black man Shel, lost in thought.

half an hour.

After a series of thoughts and assumptions, Ma Hong believed that the reason why the black man in front of him was shot was most likely because the stolen treasure was discovered during the transportation of the treasure.

'There was supervision at the scene...'

'Who? '

'Ding Ze will most likely choose to keep an eye on such a large-scale treasure in person. '

'The people Ding Ze killed...'

Following his own imagination, Ma Hong thought silently, and then thought of the gang fight that happened at the port...
'Ding Ze brought people here, and the entire operation from start to finish took less than a day. '

'How did the Sksay family get the information? '

'Some of the Abruzzi family's subordinates, motivated by their wealth, contacted the Sksay family and wanted to take advantage of them? '

'Most of those dead men of the Abruzzi family were traitors? '

thought here.

Mahone suddenly smiled.

Ding Ze's group has internal problems, which is a good thing for Ma Hong.

Mahone had a direction.

********
Outside the ruins of Trinity Church, in the corner.Steve Diller had just reported his findings to a senior member of the Freemasons.

After hearing this, the upper-level member took it very seriously and almost immediately contacted other upper-level members.

It didn't take long.

A group of upper-level members who could be contacted, through investigating various secret information, roughly determined what the treasures under the Trinity Church were like.

Subsequently.

A group of upper-level members started a vote on whether to disturb those top-level members with this matter.

The voting is over and the minority obeys the majority.

As a result, the phones of a small number of top members of the Freemasonry, including a certain middle-aged man who was having a meeting in the White House, started ringing one after another.
The top members started another discussion on whether to participate in handling this matter.

The discussion didn't last long before the results were reached.

These top-level members, who can almost be said to be on top of the world, decided to recover the treasures stolen from the underground of Trinity Church.

The reason for doing this is not mainly because of money, but because those treasures, in a certain perspective, represent Freemasonry. Back then, the ancestors of Freemasonry sacrificed many people for those treasures...

in short.

Inheritance is important.

The inheritance of Freemasonry cannot fall into the hands of others.

Soon.

The decision of the top members was quickly communicated.

As a middle-level member, Steve Diller waited for a while because of his relatively low level before receiving the notice, "Steve, the above message is to find out the location and owner of the treasures as soon as possible. Contact and communicate, try to acquire first.”

"If that doesn't work, consider other options."

"Okay, I understand," Steve Diller nodded quickly, happiness written on his face, "I will check it out as soon as possible."

pat.

The phone hangs up.

Steve Diller looked up at the sky and felt that a broad road was already in front of him.
-
Miami.

Davis-Gali, the boss of Souby Auction House's American headquarters, arrived first and called Ding Ze.

Ding Ze informed him of a meeting address.

The address is an abandoned factory with no one on the outskirts.

Just a few minutes later;

Logan Brown, the CEO of Jiade Auction House's American headquarters, slowed down a bit and dialed Ding Ze's number.

Ding Ze told Logan the same address.

Done.

Ding Ze took Mickey and drove a van with the twelve treasures to the meeting place.

Afterwards, three off-road vehicles and twelve men with guns and ammunition followed, just in case.

Davis-Jia Li was the fastest and still arrived first.

Ding Ze and Mickey were standing side by side by the van, smoking and chatting.

"How is it?" Ding Ze asked with a smile.

Mickey was a little confused, "How about what?"

"Does this kind of place have the atmosphere of criminal transactions?" Ding Ze's smile grew wider.

"..." Mickey glanced at Ding Ze and was speechless for a few seconds, "Boss, you must have watched too many TV series."

"You know shit," Ding Ze didn't mind Mickey's eccentricity, "TV series are good things. You should watch them more if you have nothing to do. You can learn a lot."

For Ding Ze, this is the truth.

If he hadn't watched so many American TV series, how could he be so comfortable when he came to this world.

Of course, Mickey couldn't understand.

"Boss, I have a question. I wonder if I can ask it?" After hesitating for a while, Mickey said.

"Since you don't know, then don't ask," Ding Ze smiled back.

Mickey: "...Okay."

Ding Ze didn't say anything anymore. When he saw the black Mercedes-Benz that had just come in, he took the initiative to wave and say hello.

Davis Jiali saw it and knew that Ding Ze was Johnson Freeman. Ma Liu opened the car door and got out of the car. He only glanced at the men Ding Ze had brought with him on three sides and ignored them with enthusiasm on his face. While walking towards Dingze, he said politely, "Mr. Freeman, nice to meet you."

With such courage, he is worthy of being a boss.

Ding Ze grinned, "Me too, what do you call me?"

Words come out.

"???" Mickey couldn't bear it.

You don’t even know who this is, so why don’t you say that you do too?

Davis-Gali didn't care at all. When he arrived in front of Ding Ze, he stretched out his hand and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Davis-Gali, and I am..."

The voice just fell.

Logan Brown arrived late, and before the car stopped, he became anxious because he saw Davis Afterburner. He immediately opened the car door, got out of the car, and went straight to Dingze.

"Mr. Freeman, I'm sorry, I'm a little late, I'm really sorry," Logan Brown also extended his hand and apologized continuously.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry," Ding Ze shook hands with the two of them one by one.

This is the end.

Two people who may be very important to his future were all present.

Next, let’s see if we can do real business with these two people.
-
Well known.

Antiques, antiques, art, treasures and jewelry are very suitable for making money.

As for Ding Ze, there will indeed be a need for this in the future.

and so.

This time, he specially called for Davis, Garry, and Logan Brown. The real purpose was to talk to them about the subsequent money issue and sell the twelve treasures. It was just a way to go.

"You two, let's get down to business first." Things must be done step by step. After a few simple polite words, Ding Ze took the initiative and said, "The things are in the car. You can go and appraise them."

After speaking, Ding Ze walked to the rear of the carriage and opened the carriage, "Please."

Davis-Gali and Logan-Brown didn't say much nonsense. They asked the appraisers who were still in their respective cars to get out of the car. Then, they boarded the van one after another and began to appraise.

Ding Ze didn't get in the car, he lit a cigarette and waited quietly outside the car.

Out of curiosity, Mickey stood at the back of the car and watched what was going on in the car.

The identification process did not take much time.

About half an hour later.

Both Davis-Gali and Logan-Brown confirmed the authenticity of the treasures, and more importantly, further confirmed the previous information that Dingze was the person who stole the treasures under the Trinity Church. guess!
and then.

It was extremely reasonable. When the two got out of the car, they were both extremely excited.

no way.

The twelve treasures in the carriage alone are worth hundreds of millions...

The treasures in Ding Ze's hands, taken together, must be worth at least several billion...
This is a huge deal. If we can negotiate it, tsk tsk, it will be a huge source of wealth.

"Mr. Freeman, you are really young and promising..."

"Mr. Freeman, do you like drinking? I know there is a private club in Miami..."

next second.

With the goal of discussing the auction of all the treasures in Dingze's hands, Davis-Gali and Logan-Brown tacitly chose to be shameless and blew rainbow farts like crazy.

Mickey was stunned as he watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but despise the two Davises... At the same time, he longed for Dingze!

'A real man should behave like this! ' Mickey thought longingly.

"Boss, there's no need for this. Let's finish the matter first." Even though he was thick-skinned, Ding Ze couldn't bear the compliments from these two middle-aged men. He interrupted, "I'll say it first." My request, I need to receive the money for these twelve treasures within three days, is there any problem?"

"No problem!" Davis-Gali and Logan Brown replied in unison without any hesitation.

the reason is simple.

On the one hand, both of them have many top private collectors in their hands. As long as they contact them, it is very easy to sell these twelve treasures within three days.

On the other hand, Ding Ze's request actually has a lot of room for manipulation... At worst, Su Bi and Jiade will digest it themselves... It's only a few hundred million dollars, and it's not a big deal to digest.

"Okay, let's talk about the cost and so on," Ding Ze said again.

Face this problem.

Davis-Gali and Logan-Brown still did not hesitate, saying that Dingze did not need to pay any fees, and the fees would be borne by the buyer.

"Kuai Kuai," Ding Ze nodded with a smile, "I like Kuang Kuai people, so there is only one thing left. Which of your bosses will take away these twelve treasures."

"I need to talk to you two separately about this matter."

Davis-Gali and Logan-Brown had no objections and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Mr. Jiali, let's go to the side and chat first," Ding Ze said to Davis-Gali without any ink.

The two quickly reached the side.

There is no point in talking about things like making money in a roundabout way.

Ding Ze handed over a cigarette and went straight to the point, "Mr. Jiali, I will have a new business soon, which will bring in tens of billions of dollars every year. This money needs to be laundered. Have you done it?"

Davis-Gali just took the cigarette. After hearing this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He looked solemn and did not say anything immediately. He lit the cigarette, took a puff, looked at Ding Ze carefully, and then realized Ding Ze was a little surprised at the real purpose of calling them to Miami.

"Mr. Freeman," Davis-Gali said, "That's why you called me and Logan here."

Ding Ze admitted frankly, "Yes."

Davis-Gali took out a puff of smoke, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Mr. Freeman, I'm afraid you misunderstood. We are doing serious business. Of course we will not do illegal things like making money." Do."

Is this the answer?

No!

Because after saying this, Davis-Gali did not turn around and leave, but still stood there.

see.

Ding Ze immediately guessed the reason why Davis-Gali said this, and he was happy, "I am not an undercover police agent."

Davis-Gali smiled and said nothing, with an attitude of "You see, I believe it or not."

Ding Ze saw it and thought about it for a moment.

In fact, at this moment.

Davis-Afterburner has basically admitted that they have this business.

In this case, there’s no rush anyway…

"Let's do this," Ding Ze didn't say much, "We can contact you again after a while, and then you will know if I am an undercover agent."

"Okay," Davis-Gali said, then took out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Ding Ze, "You are welcome to contact me then;"

Conversation is over.

The two walked back.

Dingze then talked to Logan Brown.

Logan-Brown's reaction was basically the same as Davis-Gali's.

Ding Ze has the result.

Return to the van.

"I'm very grateful to the two bosses for coming. How about twelve treasures, six for each person?" Ding Ze suggested.

Davis Galli and Logan Brown already know Dingze's true purpose and have no objections to this arrangement.

About two 10 minutes later.

The contract is signed.

After moving the twelve treasures from the van, Ding Ze left.
