Chapter 412 Curtain
No wonder this person dares to ignore me?
No wonder this person looks familiar?
Is it any wonder I can't remember this person's name?
Victor Hugo, this guy is definitely from China, no..., the weirdest one in the world's entertainment industry.
People don't promote, don't build momentum, don't advertise, and don't appear on programs. If the popularity does not rise and hold a meeting, the popularity will drop as it goes, and it is natural to do it freely and freely. He is famous in the entertainment circle, but he is not a person in the entertainment circle.
Xiao Tianzhi looked at Zhou Qingfeng's back, and seven or eight thoughts popped up in his mind. Do you want to go over and say hello? Do you want to get to know each other again? Do you want to accuse me of a crime and erase the embarrassment just now? Or use the other party's fame to hype it up?
Messy thoughts flooded in, messing up Xiao Tianzhi's mind. And the seven or eight assistants who followed him were also dumbfounded, standing behind their master one by one, watching in amazement.
"My God, is this a big-name international superstar?"
"Why did I say it looks familiar? It's embarrassing now. I just said that I would sign a poster for him."
"It is said that he never cares about the reputation of the entertainment industry, this is really not a lie!"
"He lives next door to Xu Yun. If the paparazzi find out about it, they will definitely make a splash."
"Quick, take a picture! We can use this opportunity to make a splash."
"To hype up the scandal between Victor Hugo and Xu Yun, what can we do?"
"Stupid, can't we talk about a love triangle? Let's just say that Victor Hugo took the love with a sword and intervened in the relationship between Tianzhi and Xu Yun."
In the team, as soon as the manager spoke, the team's cameraman clicked and took several consecutive shots. The most wonderful thing is that Zhou Qingfeng was talking and laughing with the old captain of the Ocean Princess, and Xu Yun, who was about to enter the cabin, actually stopped and listened for a few seconds. If the stared eyes said that the two of them were interested, they would definitely be believed.
While this scandal was brewing, Xiao Jinlang from the Ministry of Public Security was boarding the Ocean Princess as an ordinary tourist. He came here bravely, just thinking about it brought tears to his eyes.
It is a big joke to say that the police of a dignified country have colluded with international thieves to sell stolen goods. Originally, there was an opinion in the Ministry that they should not sell the stolen goods, so they simply raised a sum of money and gave it to the mysterious person.
But there are dozens of those Renaissance paintings,
Calculated based on the amount of auctions in recent years, it adds up to more than one billion..., U.S. dollars! Even if the sale price on the black market is greatly reduced, it will not be less than two to three hundred million, and at least one hundred million will be distributed to the mysterious person who provided the painting..., or US dollars.
Ask the Ministry of Public Security to pay the money, just dream! Some people in the Ministry thought that they could sell these paintings and share half of the funds, which can be regarded as generating income for the country. In addition to being turned over to the national treasury, there can be some kickbacks and benefits.
Some people also suggested to give less, 10 million..., Ruanmeibi means something. The person who came up with this bad idea was directly kicked out.
Even the ministers are scolding-it will kill people to come up with blind ideas! Didn’t you see those old men in the Palace Museum staring at us every day? It is a great shame to say that we are unable to get the national treasure back. Now that someone can get it back, whoever dares to make trouble is a national traitor!
The modern history of China is a history of humiliation. The history books are full of blood and tears. At that time, a slightly stronger country could almost bully it. Now it's hard to be elated, but if something goes wrong, who will wear the hat of national thief? Wear it on the head of the minister? The minister would tear up the troublemaker, dip it in wasabi and eat it raw.
Xiao Jinlang was completely troubled by this matter, he scolded the international auction house countless times behind his back, hyping up the price of these rags so high, he is simply a group of retarded people. He even found a lot of connections, and with the help of the national security department, he made a connection with the Lerna black market dealer in Europe.
The Celestial Dynasty absolutely did not take part in this matter, and the paintings were handed over to the Europeans for sale. In order to clear the relationship, the place of transaction even chose an American cruise ship. But in the end, the Ministry was still worried, and changed Xiao Jinlang's identity, and asked him to board the ship with two or three men to keep an eye on it.
So the hard-pressed Director Xiao got a sea view room with a single door and a window on the Ocean Princess, which was regarded as a business trip. In fact, he thought to himself: If something happened, he would be unable to do anything with his empty hands.
Now all the paintings have been sent to the black market dealer Lerner's team through secret channels, and the other party has confirmed the authenticity of the paintings and is extremely optimistic about the sales prospects. As for how Lerner sold the paintings, Xiao Jinlang didn't care, and didn't want to.
Just as Xiao Jinlang boarded the boat and entered his cabin, and within five minutes of lying down, news came from his subordinates, saying: There are three big stars on board, one is Xiao Tianzhi, who has become popular in recent years, and the other is Xiao Tianzhi, who has become popular for ten years. Xu Yun for several years, and Victor Hugo, who was so popular against the sky.
"Hehehe..., I also have the opportunity to travel with big stars." Naturally, Xiao Jinlang didn't have any thoughts of chasing stars. He made fun of himself, and only asked his subordinates to focus on other situations on board, because the Americans would definitely try their best to track down these paintings.
The news of the painting auction is not airtight, and it would not be surprising if the Americans could find out about the Ocean Princess. However, the Lerner family's four generations of management have also dealt with countless police and intelligence personnel from various countries.
At the moment at the Hong Kong International Airport, a blonde woman with a wide-brimmed hat and big sunglasses appeared at the airport exit platform pushing a luggage trolley. When she saw Chris Irwin waiting outside, she quickly waved her hand.
"Hi, I'm Brigitte. Nice to meet you, Mr. Irwin." The blonde girl was very familiar with her enthusiasm. After she got in the car, she asked the taciturn Irwin: "Aren't you in cia?" Do you like talking?"
Chris Erwin drove the blonde away from the airport. Regarding the question of women, he had to remind him: "Ms. Brigitte, I am an avowed military attache of the US Consulate in Hong Kong. It is not appropriate for you to directly talk about cia."
"Forget it, idiots know that the military attaches of the United States are all spies of the CIA." Brigitte took out her lipstick, carefully arranged her outfit in front of the mirror, and kept her hot and attractive at all times. "I'm just an associate professor of art history from Harvard University in the United States, and I'm here to help you solve the theft of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. I don't think we need to hide our identities."
"Yes, we need to rely on your professional knowledge in oil painting appraisal. But I still want to remind you that our next work will be very dangerous, so pay attention to details. It is necessary to conceal your identity."
"Aha, I like danger, and I was on the plane here thinking this was going to be a really hot war of agents. Just like in the movie."
Hearing this, Chris Erwin cursed in his heart how his colleague chose such a woman as his assistant? He continued: "We have already found out some information. In two days, you and I will board a luxury cruise ship as husband and wife. I think it's better for us to keep a low profile."
"Husband and wife?" Brigitte exclaimed, she looked carefully at Chris Erwin beside her, and said, "Even if I was blind, I wouldn't find a man like you as a husband, especially if you still Very old."
CIA's ace agent made a helpless shrug, "We only booked a balcony sea view room on the Ocean Princess, and we can only live in it as a couple."
Brigitte exclaimed again: "I still have to share a room with you and sleep in a bed? My God, I kind of regret participating in this operation. Why can't I arrange a handsome agent for me? Even if there is no Pierce Brosnan, at least it should be Daniel Craig!"
Chris Erwin rolled his eyes when he said this.
So far, the sale of stolen oil paintings has officially kicked off. All personnel are already in their positions, and a life-and-death struggle related to national honor and personal interests is about to be staged. (To be continued.)
