Chapter 909 Beckham's Thank You Gift

Outsiders don't know all the changes in Beihai Manor, but the Xiaobei couple who came to thank them were quite nervous by the chilling atmosphere of five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry in the manor. They went through three routine inspections alone. Checkpoint, from the gate to the castle's private road, patrol cars pass by from time to time, carrying heavily armed soldiers!

In fact, he should be thankful that if the faces of the couple were not known all over the world, it would be almost impossible for them to be assassins, and they would have faced more than three inspections.

The 24-hour all-round three-dimensional security measures are enough to ensure that every corner of the Beihai Manor will not be missed, and every servant carries the latest military identification certificate. Without this certificate or the certificate does not correspond to the person, It is completely impossible to enter the manor lord's castle.

The servants were told that the manor was undergoing a security drill. Although they were quite verbal in private, everyone was used to it. Windsor Castle conducts similar drills every year, which is an expression of the masters' lives.

On the contrary, Beckham and his wife, who had been to the manor before and noticed the earth-shaking changes after a week, felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Carson showed up in time to explain, and the reason was also a security drill.

Yang Cheng saw the twitching Beckham and his wife in the living room, because every corner they looked at, they found bodyguards with stern faces in black suits. They stood with their hands behind their hands, and their eagle eyes swept across at a constant speed like a monitor. , perhaps because of the condensation of murderous aura on their bodies, Xiaobei and his wife felt that their breathing slowed down involuntarily.

"Hey, don't be nervous. A thief broke into the castle a few days ago. Although it didn't cause any real damage, it's still not reassuring. I just took this opportunity to do a drill to avoid the same thing from happening." Yang Cheng smiled kindly. The embarrassment of Xiaobei and his wife was resolved, and his explanation was more reasonable, Xiaobei had no doubts.

He breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "I was scared to death. I thought something big happened. I didn't take a breath all the way in."

Victoria nodded in agreement, "Yes, me too~"

Yang Cheng's heart was also heavy, but his face was very relaxed, and he said meaningfully, "Who made me cherish my life."

The woman's intuition told Victoria that Yang Cheng's move might be more than a simple exercise, but she wisely didn't say anything, and took the initiative to change the subject, "Don't talk about this, Jason, we came here this time to thank you, thanks With the media under your banner playing around, the outside world finally shifted the focus away from David."

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "Don't worry, since I invested in your brand, I naturally don't want my investment to go to waste."

Xiaobei smiled and said, "That's right, but your Chinese custom is to reciprocate courtesy, I think it makes sense, so I went to the Canterbury Auction House and asked someone to buy a lot in advance. This is a piece from the ancient country Z. national treasure."

After all, I personally took out a very old-looking bronze ware from the box I was carrying. The shape was very similar to the current teapot. The shape of the tiger entrenched on the lid was very delicate. The patina on the surface proved the vicissitudes of time this antique had gone through. .

Yang Cheng didn't know this antique, but he knew it must have an extraordinary origin. Judging by the shape and material, it was probably from the Shangzhou period, when bronze ware was prevalent, and dragons and tigers were often used as decorations, but he didn't know what it was called. After all, he is not a professional archaeologist.

When I opened the description attached to the auction house, I realized that this object was called "Hu Ying (ying)". When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, it was looted from the Old Summer Palace by the British. This kind of ritual vessel has been collected by the royal family for thousands of years. It is said that there are only 7 known "Ying" bronze wares in the world, and 5 of them are collected in major museums. This "Tiger Ying" It is also the only one in private hands, and no one knows where the rest is.

This is a well-deserved national treasure antique, Yang Cheng was very happy, "David, you have a heart, this antique should not be cheap, right?"

David shrugged, "No matter how expensive it is, it is not as precious as our friendship,

In fact, I asked a friend to help, and Canterbury did not set up obstacles. The price of 350,000 pounds is not too expensive. "

Yang Cheng originally thought it would cost a million pounds, but if it was only more than 300,000 pounds, he would be disrespectful, "Thank you, I love this gift very much, and I must treasure it well."

After finishing speaking, he waved to Carson, "Be safe and put him in the display cabinet in the corridor in front of my bedroom door."

"Yes, sir, you will see this treasure every day when you wake up."

After delivering the presents, Yang Cheng stayed with Xiaobei and his wife and entertained them with a caviar Japanese food feast. This was also the last stock. Two 64-ounce boxes of Almas worth $50,000 were eaten up.

After Xiaobei and his wife left, Yang Cheng personally watched the servants put the "Tiger Ginger" into a vacuum display cabinet and lock it. Fingerprints, passwords and keys can be used to open it, all of which are indispensable.

When the laser light is turned on, the originally dim "tiger sting" immediately becomes noble and sacred, and the rotating tray below rotates at an extremely slow speed, ensuring that the glorious history of the treasure can be appreciated from any angle.

Xiaobei's gift was sent to the heart. Only things that others don't have are precious, which is far more meaningful than giving a supercar.

But at the moment there are still business matters that involve his mind. After admiring it for a while, he left the corridor and came to the security room on the basement floor. As many as 8 security personnel faced hundreds of surveillance cameras again, and they worked in shifts every 4 hours. , to ensure that security personnel will not be distracted by fatigue, resulting in fatal negligence.

Hansen was also in the security room. When he saw Yang Cheng coming in, he quickly got up and said hello, "Boss, why are you here?"

Yang Cheng motioned him to sit down, and he took a chair and sat down. He was a little dazzled by the hundreds of screens in front of him, "Nothing to do, come down and take a look, how about it? Is there anything unusual?"

Hansen replied truthfully, "So far, I haven't found any suspicious activities. I have already sent a team member to change into civilian clothes and go outside the manor to conduct investigations on those who stayed for no reason."

Yang Cheng nodded. Hansen is professional in this area, and he will not give orders at will. This is a matter of his own life, and he cannot be willful.

"That's good. If you have any needs, just mention it, and let the brothers rest well." Yang Cheng cared, paused, and asked, "If it was you, facing such a tight security line, How would you plan a move to assassinate me?"

Yang Cheng will not underestimate those professional killers who seem to be mentally retarded. These people who have undergone rigorous training can always find security loopholes and wait for opportunities to attack.

His nervousness is not unfounded. Comrade Guan Hai, who is the president of the United States, receives tens of thousands of threatening emails almost every day, and many of them take action. The reason why the assassination was not successful is because of the protection team He has put in a lot of effort, to the extent that everything is fine-tuned, otherwise he would have died countless times.

And compared to the general security measures, what Hansen is doing now is just pediatrics. Take the "Air Force One" that Comrade Guan Hai is riding on. Unlike the leaders of other countries, other people's visits may only be equipped with a special plane. However, Comrade Guan Hai was sitting in one, and another one was following him in case of emergencies. Therefore, "Air Force One" was also called a "Mandarin Duck Aircraft". One", the two planes are exactly the same, there is no difference.

Moreover, the safety measures of the aircraft itself are impeccable. "Air Force One" can interfere with the enemy's radar at an altitude of 8,000 meters, making it "blind"; when being tracked by missiles, it can launch flares to confuse the enemy. ; and once an atomic bomb explodes, it can also generate a high-tech "protective shield" in an instant to ensure that sensitive electronic equipment on board will not be disturbed.

After landing, the special plane was equipped with a special car called "The Beast". It was produced based on the structure of a truck. , it is not difficult to imagine that this car will be even cooler than the vehicle in the 007 movie.

Among the windows of the "Beast", only the side window located on the rear right seat and the window used by the driver can be raised and lowered by only a few centimeters; the thickness of the window reaches 12 centimeters, and the thickness of the front windshield reaches 15 The weight of the door is equivalent to that of a Boeing 757 aircraft door, and the bullets of ordinary sniper rifles cannot penetrate this thick layer of armor.

Not only that, but it can also resist the attack of chemical weapons, and is equipped with automatic oxygen supply equipment, tear gas bombs, automatic weapons and other weapons and equipment, as well as first aid equipment that can be used for blood transfusion by the general in an emergency, and the protection of the general is almost complete. To the point of nitpicking.

The above is only used as the last means of close protection. Generally speaking, if Comrade Guanhai participates in public gatherings, he must at least ensure that thousands of soldiers or JCs are the first line of defense to maintain order at the outermost periphery, and at the same time arrange at least 20 soldiers. Snipers occupy all the commanding heights, and there are no less than 24 mobile armed groups to deal with unexpected accidents at any time.

Compared with this kind of protection, Yang Cheng's cautiousness really pales in comparison.

When faced with death threats, you can never be too careful. At least Yang Cheng has not received nearly 30 death threats every day like Comrade Guan Hai. Who asked him to do the most dangerous job in the world? Historically, the United States A total of 9 presidents encountered life and death crises, of which 4 died and 5 survived. If this strict protection was lost, Comrade Guan Hai would have died many times.

You must know that assassination does not only exist in violent attacks, such as toxins are also a very effective means. Comrade Guan Hai often receives letters containing ricin.

All in all, in the face of the threat of an organization with a glorious history of assassinations, Yang Cheng still feels that the current security measures are not strict enough, so why bother?
