Chapter 1623 It’s Yours (Part 2)
An estate in Long Island, New York? Guo Tailai has no special feeling, probably because there are too many houses. However, Guo Tailai accepted the friend's kindness unceremoniously.
"Thank you!" Guo Tailai thanked with a smile: "At that time, the transfer will be under Phoenix's name."
"I knew it." Little Finn chuckled, then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there are two manors, and the distance is not too far. What about the other one?"
"There is another one?" Guo Tai saw the mysterious look of little Finn, and knew that this guy must have no good things in his heart, so he could only curl his lips and said according to Little Finn's intention: "The other set is transferred to me. Under the name of your assistant, you know!"
"Don't worry, the arrangements will be very secret." Little Finn nodded tacitly, secretly gave a thumbs up, and didn't say anything extra except to ensure the secrecy.
The two sat for a while, and Charles arrived as scheduled. He came here this time also very formally, the security personnel came to check in advance.
For an official visit, Charles didn't come empty-handed either, he also brought gifts. But he didn't bring any red wine or anything like that. Instead, he brought two beautiful wooden boxes. Open the box, inside is a pair of ceramic gourds.
"G, these are two of the Chinese cultural relics collected by the royal family." Charles carefully pushed the ceramic gourd on the table towards Guo Tailai: "Don't worry, this is a gift from a formal diplomatic event. It was brought back by Count Marcielny when he visited China at the end of the century, and it has been treasured by the royal family.”
When Charles said this, everyone cheered up and gathered around.
"I heard that your Chinese gourds represent auspiciousness." Charles said with a smile: "So I specially selected these two as gifts. Experts say that they are things from the Qianlong period. Putting them at home can affect the 'feng shui' of the home. You bring good luck."
Two pairs of foreign-colored porcelain gourds, with golden patterns on a black background, and several round ancient paintings on the glaze, are exquisite. Even if Guo Tailai doesn't have much research on this aspect, he can still see the exquisite workmanship at a glance. Just two words, beautiful!
"Thank you, Charles!" Guo Tailai liked the two ceramic gourds very much: "I like it very much!"
Charles said that the gourd has the meaning of good luck, because the gourd is a homonym for Fulu in Chinese, but he is right, and it is a good Feng Shui decoration. This is a treasure treasured by the British royal family, not the kind of sacrificial objects or funeral objects placed in temples or ancient tombs. Guo Tailai really likes it very much. He turned around and told Lin Jiayi: "Sister Lin, remember to send it back to China and put it in my room."
If people say that feudal superstition is feudal superstition! Anyway, please have a good word of mouth. Just be in a good mood.
If the guest's gift is liked by the host, it is a matter of everyone's satisfaction, and the host and guest enjoy themselves. The meal in the evening, except that some of the tableware used could not fully reflect the Chinese style, was perfect. The delicious Hunan cuisine cooked by the team of chefs is very particular about the presentation, with both color, aroma and shape. At the same time, considering the acceptance of Westerners, we only made some ordinary and classic dishes, so that the two guests can enjoy their meals very much. .
"I will graduate in one month from my domestic medical school. In September, if I want to enjoy nursing services at any time, I can go to Huaxia Treasure Boat Hotel." During the dinner, Guo Tailai also told the two of them good news: "Little Finn knows that properly extending the nursing time is good for the body, and the effect is better than concentrating on one day."
Guo Tailai had already explained the truth, but he did not tell Charles. Little Finn learned what he learned and sold it now, and relayed theories such as the adaptability of the nervous system, and Charles nodded frequently when he listened. The simple truth can be understood by Charles without studying medicine.
It seems that it is necessary to find an opportunity to go to Huaxia in the future. Even if it is not suitable for a private trip to Huaxia as a prince, then you have to find a suitable nursing place in London so that Guo Tailai can provide long-term care when he comes over.
During the official visit, in fact, there was not much serious business to be said. It was just a courtesy visit, a social activity to enhance friendship, and it had no special meaning.
In the early morning of the next day, almost all the media around the world were dominated by a big news. The two intelligence agencies of the United States and Britain, the CIA and MI6, jointly operated to destroy one of the largest counterfeit currency syndicates in history. A total of more than 500 criminals were captured around the world, four banknote printing bases scattered in various countries were dug up, and dozens of sets of banknote printing equipment were seized.
The counterfeit banknote group mainly counterfeit the three most popular currencies in the world, the US dollar, the British pound and the euro. Less counterfeit money.
From the lairs of several counterfeit banknote groups, the US and the UK seized a total of more than 100 tons of printed banknotes, and the face value of these counterfeit banknotes initially cleared exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars. Although the counterfeit banknote groups captured before were not small in scale, they often had a face value of tens of millions of dollars. But this time is different, it is directly measured in tons, which is simply jaw-dropping.
When smashing the counterfeit banknote group, both the British and the Americans fought a short battle. The criminals of the counterfeit banknote group probably knew the seriousness of the case and arrested them forcibly. They used weapons and guns to start a gun battle with the operatives of the two countries. More than 100 people were killed on the spot, and the remaining 400 people surrendered. During the shootout, the criminals also burned dozens of tons of counterfeit banknotes. As of the press conference, only two operators from the two countries were slightly injured, and the operation went smoothly.
Chu Fei and the others finally knew what happened to the counterfeit banknote group that Guo Tailai was talking about. Even though I knew it in advance, I was taken aback by the scale of the case. Fortunately, the two countries acted in a timely manner. If counterfeit banknotes with a face value of tens of billions of dollars flow into the market, it may be a devastating blow to the US dollar, pound and euro.
Now Chu Fei and Lin Jiayi vaguely knew why Guo Tailai received gifts from several manors. Guo Tailai must have been involved in such a big event, but fortunately he got through it safely.
Frightened, Chu Fei drove Guo Tailai back to the country without waiting for Guo Tailai to ask to leave. Fatty has to do some things as soon as he goes abroad. The fat man is really worrying.
After returning to China, Guo Tailai started working non-stop. Finally, in the middle of the month, I submitted my carefully ground perfect silicon crystal sphere to the Berlin Institute of Metrology.
As soon as this news was released, it attracted the attention of the International Committee of Weights and Measures, and quickly sent people to Huaxia, together with the people from the Berlin Institute of Metrology, to inspect the silicon crystal balls.
