?? Chen Yang was still doubting how there could be plague in such a good person. Now that he thought about this, Chen Yang finally understood the root of the problem.
"Carter Company has two office locations in North America, one in Chicago and the other in California." Yu Liangqin said: "This incident has dealt a huge blow to them. I think they will not give up and there will definitely be next steps. One step at a time."
The plane flew over the central and eastern part of the lighthouse country, and it was cloudless. Looking down at the plains in the middle, people always feel a sense of powerlessness.
"I need to hire a bodyguard, damn it." Chen Yang said to Garcia while sitting on the plane back.
"You also plan to hire PMC? You must know that these prices are not cheap." Garcia said: "And now, we have spent a lot of money on this matter, and the balance on the account is running out."
"PMC? No, I can't trust it. Those guys who want to regard the U.S. dollar as their biological mother have no honor at all in their actions." Chen Yang said lightly.
"Are you still planning to contact those people from Huaqing? That's nonsense. With all due respect, these people are indeed very powerful in fighting, but their background is often not clean."
A trace of sadness gradually accumulated on Garcia's face: "You know, we are businessmen. And we have just arrived in California, so we should be more low-key in our work."
Chen Yang shook his head: "No, I don't think so. Now that someone has threatened the safety of my family, I have to do something."
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Garcia immediately felt a chill: "Man, you'd better tell me about your plan. Maybe I can help you. You know, I'm a lawyer. I guess you plan to solve it secretly." This is about it, right?¡±
Chen Yang nodded: "Isn't it like this?"
"This is a lighthouse country. My personal opinion is that even if you want to do it, you must leave no trace, otherwise it will not be a good thing for you to attract attention."
"Don't you know a private detective?"
"I do know some." Garcia nodded.
"I need all the information about Carter Company, the more detailed the better."
"Are you planning to take the initiative?" Garcia asked suspiciously.
"Otherwise? The war has begun, and this is my war." Chen Yang said: "I will investigate Carter Company from top to bottom, and use all resources to eliminate the source of this disaster."
"Okay, I will do my best to help you!" Garcia narrowed his eyes and said.
"Okay, let's talk about something happy. Remember what you found in the old villa? That statue. Yes, Phillips Auction House has confirmed your auction application and has sent their shareholder appraiser , I think it should arrive today.¡±
Garcia said, he was easing the atmosphere and making everyone's nervous look relaxed in the past few days.
As one of the top three auction houses in the world, Phillips has its own office in Los Angeles. From Los Angeles to San Diego, it is very fast to fly.
"But before that, I took it upon myself to ask a friend of mine who is a collector to conduct an appraisal on your statue. Do you want to know his advice?" Garcia picked up the wine glass and asked the rigorous barrister. , at this moment, it was also sold out.
"Of course." Chen Yang shrugged and said.
"My friend said that this is a piece of the Hindu god called the goddess of eloquence. The workmanship is extremely fine, so fine that he thought it was like a modern collection."
Garcia's words made Chen Yang feel a chill in his heart. He thought to himself, sure enough, not everyone will encounter pie in the sky in life, but it's okay, all the joy is in vain.
"But some of the ancient Indian texts behind this statue are very interesting. Unfortunately, my friend is not an expert in this field, but with many years of experience in collecting and auctioning, he still told me that this statue , it is very likely to be a real work of art, a lost antique! But the pricehe can't estimate it."
"Damn it, can you finish it in one breath?"
Chen Yang was so shocked by Garcia's words that he almost had his brain blood vessels explode!
At first, I thought Garcia was going to say it was a modern artifact, or a fake. As a result, he gave an ambiguous answer that the enamel statue was probably an antique!
"Youyou are simply testing whether my nerves are weak!"Yang Yang shook his head.
"My friend, the unknown, the mystery, the excitement, the competition. Isn't this the essence of antique auctions?" Garcia laughed. It was rare to see this guy with such a straightforward and hearty smile.
However, facts have proven that what Garcia said was true.
That afternoon, Chen Yang and the others arrived in San Diego.
Yu Liangqin hadn¡¯t had a good rest these past few days, so after a while, Chen Yang asked him to rest.
I entertained the appraiser from the Los Angeles branch of the French Phillips auction house by myself.
The appraiser arrived in La Jolla, San Diego yesterday.
It was different from Chen Yang¡¯s imagination. It was a Frenchman who didn¡¯t look very old. He had blond hair, a beard, and blue eyes like the sea. He is tall and thin, wearing a business suit, carrying a briefcase, gold-rimmed glasses, and well-dressed.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. My name is Hugo Terry Pope, from Phillips Auction House. Thank God, nice to meet you."
The owner of Terry Pop sounds a bit jerky with an American accent, and his accent has a distinct French flavor. However, he looks more like an old European aristocrat.
After being introduced by Garcia, Chen Yang learned that Hugo Terry Pope was an expert in identifying Asian antiques at Phillips Auction House!
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hugo." Chen Yang took the initiative to extend his hand to show friendship.
"Okay, let's get back to business. Mr. Chen, can you please let me see your collection?"
In fact, although the French guy Hugo said it politely, from the moment he entered the room, his blue eyes began to look around.
This scene couldn¡¯t help but make Chen Yang imagine that hundreds of years ago, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the Forbidden City, when they were looking for the royal treasures of the Qing Dynasty, it should have been like this.
And the genes of plundering and collecting created during the Age of Discovery hundreds of years ago have long been rooted in the blood of Europeans. This made Chen Yang feel a little nervous for no reason.
He held the mysterious statue in his hand and said emphatically: "This statue is mine."
"Of course, I'm just helping you identify his age and authenticity." Hugo smiled.
"My grandfather left it to me. You must be careful when appraising it." Chen Yang continued to emphasize.
Hugo lowered his head and smiled, but his smile was extremely awkward at the moment: "I am an expert in appraisal. I can tell you a hundred ways to preserve collections from being corroded by weathering. Please believe me."
"Okay." After Chen Yang said that, he took the statue out of his arms and placed it on the table.
Immediately afterwards, Hugo put on his white gloves and carefully picked up the statue from the table.
However, just when he picked up the statue, a strange look suddenly appeared in those blue eyes.
Although that touch of expression was fleeting, it was clearly captured by Chen Yang.
Then Hugo took the statue carefully, turned it over and over, looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but marvel at it.
About ten minutes later, Hugo slowly put down his glasses, looked at Chen Yang, and said, "Sir, to get this statue, you are simply a lucky person favored by God!"
Hearing this, Chen Yang raised his eyebrows. However, after coming to the United States, Chen Yang, who was so poor that he only had his pants on, didn't care whether God really favored him, let alone whether this thing had any artistic value. At this moment, Chen Yang was only concerned about one question, how much is this statue worth? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
