Later, the witch took out a huge sum of millions of dollars to build a temple dedicated to the Jade Emperor in the countryside. Since then, the incense has continued and the business has improved. It is worth noting that there is a general with a golden helmet and golden armor beside the Jade Emperor. This is a story that I will not mention later.

Liu Yanzhi originally wanted to find Hu Banxian's whereabouts, but this person was no longer in sight. The fortune telling shop next to Yonghe Palace has also been closed for a long time. He can't find anyone for the time being, so he can only go to the United States to settle accounts with Hannibal. He thought it was a private matter and did not bother the party and patriotism. He formed a team himself, including Guan Lu and Liu Handong, both of whom were happy to agree.

A hundred years ago, I could only cross the Pacific Ocean by cruise ship, which took dozens of days. Now I can reach San Francisco in ten hours by taking a wide-body passenger plane. Although the first class cabin is not as spacious and comfortable as a cruise ship, the ticket price is comparable. It is the most luxurious way to travel in their respective eras.

Liu Yanzhi was not short of money and bought first-class air tickets for both teammates. After arriving in San Francisco, Liu Yanzhi wanted to remember the past. He stayed in the local area for one night and went to Chinatown to pay tribute. The old place of Yanzhi Laundry is now a large chain of laundry stores. The streets are bustling and neon lights are shining. The scenes from a hundred years ago are played back in his mind. Lin Su, Lin Su, where are you?

According to information, Hannibal has been in New York these days, so the team spans the North American continent and arrives in New York the next day. Domestic flights usually land at Newark Airport. This is not the first time Liu Yanzhi has come to New York. When he was dealing with Dr. Samuel's case, he and Guan Lu came to New York and New Jersey.

Liu Handong once spent a while in New York, familiar with the roads and took them to visit Manhattan by taxi. When he passed by a building, he introduced: "The building in front is the property of the Chen Zikun family. The estimated price has reached one billion US dollars in the past few years, and it may be more expensive now..."

"How long has it been since you came to New York?" Guan Lu said, "Is that a high-end hotel good?"

When the car drove over, Liu Handong was stunned. The building was indeed converted into a hotel. There was a sign at the door, a doorman and a waiter to serve him. The taxi driver was a very talkative Mexican. Drivers all over the world had the same virtue, that is, they talked a lot. He told foreign guests from afar that this was indeed the Chen family's property before, but last year the Chen family went bankrupt and the house was sold.

"The Chen family went bankrupt?" Liu Handong was very surprised. The Isabella family was not as rich as a country, but was also one of the famous families in New York. If it was said that it would go bankrupt, it would go bankrupt.

When he returned to his hotel, Liu Handong searched the Internet for news about the bankruptcy of the Chen family. It turned out that it was the son of Chen Jiao and Tan He, who was the uncle of Isabella, who failed to participate in international financial speculation and owed huge debts, which directly led to bankruptcy. The family's industry was not sold enough, and all the cultural relics heirlooms in the family had to be auctioned out.

Liu Handong immediately contacted Isabella. He did not have the other party's phone number and found it through his Facebook account. After inquiring, Isabella was also in a low mood. Not only was her uncle defeated all her property, but also an important reason was that the movie "General" she invested in was a crushing box office and lost a lot of money. This movie is based on Chen Zikun as the protagonist of China's modern history. It was originally agreed to introduce it into the Chinese market and everyone gave high expectations, but at the critical moment, China refused to introduce it, so it suffered a Waterloo, which made it worse.

There is no family that has lasted for a hundred years. The Chen family no longer existed since Chen Zikun died in the 1990s. What has continued in New York is actually just the in-laws Tan family. Now the Tan family has also been defeated, and the Casino family of the New York Mafia is not prosperous and has been in a turmoil.

"Handong, can you help me? The auction will be held tomorrow. It is all the relics of my great-grandfather. Grandma is very sad, but she has no choice. We have no choice. For the sake of my uncle, we must conduct an auction." Isabella choked up.

"I..." Liu Handong said in his heart that I had no money, so he could only use it as a entrusting to raise the auction price. Of course, he finally agreed.

At the same time, Liu Yanzhi is also investigating Hannibal's whereabouts. The party's patriotic intelligence system is very powerful. It is found that Hannibal will participate in a Sotheby's small auction tomorrow, where he can meet him.

The door was knocked, and it was Liu Handong. The two of them touched the information they had and found that Hannibal was attending the auction of Chen's collections, so they simply did two and made one.

"I'll prepare weapons, what do you like to use?" Liu Handong said, "It's not easy to get a gun in New York, but I have a way."

"Just find a hardware store and buy some of the largest cement nails for me." Liu Yan said straight.

...

The next morning, the Mercedes-Benz was waiting at the door, and the trio were wearing formal clothes, got on the car, and went straight to the auction house. They had paid a deposit through connections and obtained the auction qualification, otherwise they would not even be able to enter the venue.

This is a small auction, and the auction items are all collected by the Chen family, including Chen Zikun's Nine Lion Swords, military uniforms, sandalwood furniture, famous calligraphy and paintings collected by the Chen family over the years, etc. The most precious one is a jade pendant, which is said to be Chen Zikun's personal belonging, with the highest reserve price of 500,000 US dollars.

High-definition photos of jade pendants appear on the large screen. They are said to be jade pendants, but in fact they are just a round white jade with two seal characters "Kunwu" engraved on them. The carvings are simple and extremely gentle.

Liu Yan felt that he had seen this jade pendant somewhere.

The venue was not big, and there were not many people coming. They were mostly Chinese. Isabella sat behind with an old silver-haired lady. Liu Handong stepped forward and said hello, and came back to introduce that the old man was Chen Zikun's youngest daughter Chen Jiao.

Liu Yanzhi immediately saw the past when he took the young Chen Jiao on the snowy night in Christmas Eve in 1948. The innocent and cute little girl in the past is now a saggy old man. I wonder if she remembers herself.

The auction began. Buyers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China were not interested in modern cultural relics. Their focus was on sandalwood furniture. The auction went smoothly. After the furniture was sold, the cultural relics were auctioned. Hannibal had not arrived yet.

Chen Zikun's Nine Lion Sword's base price is 100,000 US dollars, and someone raised the sign. Liu Handong looked back at Isabella's grandchildren. The old man's face was as usual, but his calm expression was so sad that he covered his quiet expression. In the eyes of the Chinese, it was the act of a prodigal son.

Liu Yanzhi also looked back, turned his head and said to Liu Handong: "Follow."

Guan Lu teased: "What are you following or not? This is not a blackjack."

Liu Handong raised his bid to increase the price, and the other party resisted slightly twice, and finally the saber was captured by Liu Yanzhi for $150,000.

Following the other collections, Liu Yanzhi instructed Liu Handong to go all the way, regardless of the cost. Anyway, he had money, and even if the account was insufficient, he could still ask the Party and Patriotic for it.

Until the last collection was auctioned, Hannibal did not appear. Liu Yanzhi had taken all the relics of Chen Zikun, and he would not fall off this jade pendant with the seal characters "Kunwu" engraved with the words "Kunwu", but the dark horse finally appeared. A buyer who sat in the corner and did not hold a sign finally took action, determined to win.

Liu Yanzhi turned his head and looked at him. He knew him. His name was Zou Yijun. He was Ji Yu's best friend. He called himself a jade fool. He especially liked to collect high-level white mutton fat. Chen Zikun's personal belongings must be not ordinary items, and they have extremely high collection value and appreciation space.

In a time and space that had been tampered with, Zou Yijun and Liu Yanzhi met once, but Zou Yijun did not know Liu Yanzhi at this time. He just raised signs again and again, and stared at this side provocatively, and the atmosphere of the mainland tyrants came to his face.

Soon the price was raised to 2 million US dollars, which exceeded Liu Yanzhi's ability to bear and could not afford it.

"You go and talk to him." Liu Yan said straight, "Please advise him not to go against me."

Liu Handong put down the sign in his hand, walked to the corner, sat beside Zou Yijun, and whispered: "My man, leave yourself a way out. If you take a picture, you won't be able to survive tonight."

Zou Yijun looked at him with contempt: "Who are you? You are so scared that I am. The Fuqing Gang in New York, the Mafia are all my friends. Try touching me, you can't even get out of this door."

Liu Handong said: "That's nothing to discuss?"

Zou Yijun waved his hand: "Don't do this. If you have money, you can increase your investment. If you don't have money, you can play with it."

Liu Handong shrugged at Liu Yanzhi, saying that he was powerless. Liu Yanzhi raised the sign again, and Zou Yijun was calm and followed him. Every time he bid, he only a little higher than the other party, which clearly was deliberately annoying.

An originally boring auction has entered a state of intense heat. No other buyers left and watched with great enthusiasm at which time the jade pendant was spent. The jade pendant with a minimum price of 500,000 US dollars was carried to 10 million US dollars. Both sides had no intention of stopping.

Chen Jiao, who was sitting in the last row, wondered and asked his granddaughter: "Who are they?"

Isabella said: "It's all from the mainland."

Chen Jiao said oh, and was filled with mixed feelings. In the 1980s, mainlanders who could come to the United States were all devastated and poor. Now there are the most nouveau riche in mainland China, and the housing prices in California have been speculated to the sky. Now, the two mainlanders are fighting for a jade pendant, fighting to the death. It is a blasphemy that his father's relics fall into the hands of such vulgar people.

When the price was raised to 20 million US dollars, Liu Yanzhi became impatient and snatched the sign from Liu Handong's hand and raised it and shouted: "100 million!"

It is directly five times, this is not a bidding, it is a fighting spirit. It is just a portable jade pendant of a politician during the Republic of China period. Even if it is made of white jade with mutton fat, it is not large. It is considered a success to be able to get a million dollars. No one expected to get an astronomical figure of 100 million.

Zou Yijun was also stunned by this number and could not recover for a moment. The auctioneer raised his hammer: "Any $100 million, is there any higher than this number?"

"One hundred million dollars per time!"

Zou Yijun is making a phone call.

"A second time of $100 million!"

Zou Yijun raised the sign again, his expression had changed from arrogant to solemnity, and the whole audience was in an uproar.

All eyes are focused on Liu Yanzhi, hoping that he will set a sky-high price again.

Liu Yanzhi made a gesture of invitation to Zou Yijun, saying that he would not increase his bid. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
