Chapter 140: Imperial Mausoleum Incident (Part )
A few days later, the army commander ordered the chief of staff to load ninety-seven boxes of gold, silver and treasures onto the Yan State cargo ship.
To prevent any accidents, the families of the army commander, the chief of staff and the two division commanders were all taken to the special administrative region of Yan State.
To prepare for the worst possible scenario.
The army commander and the chief of staff led a group of people on a cargo ship to the special administrative region of Yan State.
This was their first time setting foot on this land, and they were shocked by its prosperity - even more prosperous than Shencheng, the most prosperous city in their own country.
The streets are busy with traffic and people from all over the world are walking around.
Next, they rented an official warehouse opened by Yan State, but the rent was staggeringly high.
Nevertheless, safety is ensured.
Later, they went to a hotel for dinner.
When ordering food, I found that the prices here were extremely high. A few dishes would cost dozens of silver dollars, which was far beyond the consumption level of ordinary people.
After dinner, they went to a pawn shop.
The pawn shop accepts all kinds of items as long as they have a certain value, and employs experts from different countries to appraise them.
At this time, the commander came into the pawnshop. He walked into the pawnshop and looked around.
"Excuse me, do you accept everything in here?" asked the commander.
The staff member immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully, "As long as it's valuable, we'll take it, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, and some miscellaneous items."
The commander nodded slightly to show that he understood. Then he continued, "Well, I have a big deal to discuss with you. Ask your boss to come out."
The staff was a little surprised, but still politely replied: "Sir, I wonder how big your big business is?"
"As long as it doesn't exceed one million dollars, I can make the decision."
The commander frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I said you can't make the decision, call your boss out."
The staff member did not dare to neglect it and quickly said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I will call the boss out right away."
Not long after, a tall, kind-faced man walked out from the inner room.
He was wearing a fine suit and walked with a steady and confident pace, and was obviously the owner of the pawn shop.
He walked up to the commander, smiled, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am the owner of this store."
"I wonder if you have any big business to discuss?"
The commander looked at the boss, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Boss, I just don't know if you can eat it?"
The pawn shop owner replied: "Do you know the background behind my pawn shop?"
The commander responded: "I have a little understanding."
"That's good to know, so don't worry that we won't be able to eat the items you brought."
"Boss, the total value of my cargo is about 1 billion. I wonder if you can afford it?"
"One billion?" The boss was also shocked by the price. After all, the largest transaction in the past was only tens of millions. "Please wait a moment. I need to ask something."
"no problem."
The pawnshop owner contacted his superiors and was shocked to learn that there was a batch of goods worth ten billion.
I thought it was just a small business, but I didn’t expect it to be so big.
After the pawn shop owner hung up the phone, he said to the military commander: "Sir, because the amount is too large, we need some time to raise funds. Please wait a few days."
"Okay, I understand. I hope you can raise enough funds as soon as possible."
"Of course, we will do our best."
The pawn shop owner said, "Sir, of course, before we raise the money, we have to see the goods first."
The commander placed a few items he brought with him on the table. The pawnshop owner looked at the items and thought they should belong to the Great State.
So they asked experts from Dazhou to come and identify the items. When the experts from Dazhou came to identify the items, they looked at the items from their own country and no one knew what they were thinking.
After being appraised, they were all genuine. The pawnshop owner asked, "Sir, there is absolutely no problem with the goods, but these few items alone are far from being worth 10 billion."
"Of course there is more to it than that. I have rented a warehouse in your country and can bring experts to conduct an appraisal."
"it is good."
Then the commander and the chief of staff went to the warehouse with the pawn shop owner and some appraisal experts.
They arrived at the warehouse and saw two armed security guards standing at the door.
Seeing someone approaching, the two men immediately raised their guns and shouted at them: "Stop! Who are you?"
The commander walked forward, took out a certificate, handed it to the soldier and said, "My things are stored in here. I need to go in and check it now."
The security guard took the ID and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he returned it to the commander: "Sir, please come in."
After saying that, he opened the warehouse door and let everyone in.
After entering the warehouse, the pawn shop owner and the appraisal experts were stunned by the scene before them.
The entire warehouse is filled with various precious cultural relics, antiques and artworks, the number of which is dazzling.
"Wow... so many treasures!" exclaimed an expert.
"Yes, these are priceless treasures!" another expert echoed.
The pawn shop owner couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to have such a rich collection. It's really eye-opening!"
The commander smiled and said to them: "These are just some of them. There are more surprises waiting for you later."
After that, he led everyone to continue walking inside. Every time they arrived at a place, new treasures would be displayed in front of everyone.
Some of them even a well-informed person like the pawn shop owner had never seen before.
The pawn shop owner's eyes quickly regained their calm.
He said to the commander: "Sir, your collection is indeed very valuable."
Finally, after some bargaining, the pawnshop owner decided to buy the treasures for 800 million and promised to raise funds as soon as possible.
After the two sides reached an agreement, the army commander and the chief of staff left the warehouse.
In the past few days, the pawnshop owner and his superiors have been running around various major banks and finally succeeded in raising a huge amount of cash of up to 800 million.
They then successfully completed the transaction.
After the commander received the money, he decided to deposit 700 million yuan of it into a bank in the Special Administrative Region.
However, just as he was about to return with the remaining 100 million in cash, the chief of staff suddenly rushed in with an urgent telegram from home.
The chief of staff reported to the army commander with a serious expression: "Report to the commander, for some reason, the news of our operation has been leaked."
"Now the president has sent troops to take over all our troops. If we go back now, I'm afraid we will face great danger."
After hearing this, the commander's face suddenly turned gloomy and he asked angrily: "What? Who leaked the news?"
The Chief of Staff shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not clear at the moment, but what is certain is that someone deliberately leaked the news."
The commander frowned, thought for a moment and said, "In this case, we can't risk going back."
"Going back would only lead to death, and our families have already been brought here. Why not just stay here and live our lives?"
The Chief of Staff nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll follow the commander's instructions."
The commander said with a firm look, "Well, that's settled then."
"Let's find a place to stay here first, and then make long-term plans."
The families of the army commander, the chief of staff and the two division commanders all planned to settle down in the Special Administrative Region and began to think about future plans.
They decided to settle down first and think about other things later.
At the same time, Qin Ruihua also quickly learned the news: a large amount of gold, silver and treasures from the Dazhou Kingdom were being traded in the Special Administrative Region!
Such a huge amount of treasure is almost certainly not from a clean source.
Qin Ruihua's eyes flashed with light, and he whispered to himself: "Eight hundred million?"
"It seems that this person is still somewhat ambitious... However, I am willing to lend him a helping hand and see if he has the courage to accept the challenge."
After saying this, Qin Ruihua's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile.
Then he ordered the guards to invite the commander to come.
