Chapter 716: Being Targeted

Looking at ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, Li Mo is definitely the number one collector, so his appraisal is definitely not wrong. It is terrible to think that a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation and can become the treasure of the Bay Island Museum has actually been lost to the United States.

"Don't you think it's incredible?"

Li Mo sat on the sofa and opened a bottle of mineral water by himself and drank slowly. How these matters will be dealt with in the end, I believe the officials will take action. When he returns to the country and when Sima Haotian shows up, there will definitely be plans on the island.

Cause new earthquakes.

"Expert Qin, are there any other national treasures?" Expert Huang changed the subject, thinking too much and not being able to care about it, worrying blindly.

"There are many more. You will know them all when we get back to China. Expert Huang, what time will we set off tomorrow? I will follow you to the museum to see the treasures left by our ancestors."

"You must be very angry after seeing it. Just let us handle it over there. You should seize the time to visit the antique trading market here. New York is an international financial center, and countless record-breaking art transactions are here.

After it was born, there should be more good products on the antique market."

"Okay, then I will act alone tomorrow."

Everyone chatted for a while and then left one after another. Li Mo let out a sigh and prepared to go in and take a hot bath. As soon as he took his underwear, someone knocked on the door again.

Li Mo took a look, opened the door and asked, "Da Shan, come in, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Qin, there is news in China that the green glass Buddha statue of Sakyamuni that you bought earlier has been identified. It is a national treasure from the Ayutthaya Dynasty in ancient Thailand in the mid-18th century. Now there is one in the Thai royal family.

Similar royal treasures, the king personally visits every year

Please put a new golden cassock on that Buddha statue. Reliable sources say that it is made of green jadeite grown on glutinous ice, and its size is a little smaller than the one you found. The Antique Festival estimates that the pure value of the royal treasure can reach 900 million yuan.

Up and down, including the historical value and cultural value, it is a priceless treasure."

Li Mo turned to look at him: "Let's get to the point."

"The key point is that the archaeological expert from Thailand spread the news back to Thailand that you obtained the glass Buddha statue full of green emeralds. The royal family there has notified the embassy and wants to take back the green emerald Buddha statue."

Li Mo sat back on the sofa, motioned for him to sit down and spoke slowly.

"How can I ask for help? Is it a waste of money?"

"Of course not. The one in the Thai royal family is a priceless treasure, not to mention the one you found. The Thai royal family wants to offer the equivalent of three billion yuan to bring back the Buddha. The current news is only official. Let me first

I will inform you so that you can be mentally prepared."

"What's there to think about? Am I short of the three billion yuan? Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, go back and take a shower and have a good rest. I'll go out and continue Taobao tomorrow."

Li Mo invited Dashan out angrily, then put a tank of hot water and lay down comfortably in it. Three billion was like inviting back the glass Buddha statue filled with green emeralds. It was just a daydream, staying in his own ancient charm.

But that in the Xuan Museum is the real treasure of the museum, a priceless treasure, and it may even become a holy place in the hearts of Buddhists.

With his eyes closed, this idea suddenly appeared in Li Mo's mind. He wiped his face with a towel, and a feasible plan was slowly perfected.

The next day, as soon as Li Mo finished washing up, May and the others came to the door and waited.

"Mr. Qin, there are many Chinese restaurants in New York. Do you want to have breakfast in the hotel, or do you want to go to a Chinese restaurant to try snacks?"

"Of course we go to a Chinese restaurant, preferably one that sells authentic snacks and breakfast. Let's go and look for it as we go."

The five of them were walking on the street in ordinary casual clothes. There are many commercial streets near the hotel, where you can eat, drink and have fun. There are quite a few Chinese restaurants. You can see one after walking forty or fifty meters. Regardless of what they are doing.

It's a dinner, not breakfast.

"Mr. Qin, there is a pancake and fruit seller over there."

Li Mo looked in the direction pointed by Wuyue. There was a pancake stall on the roadside not far away, but the person making the pancakes was not a Chinese, but a blond young man. Looking at his skillful movements, he really suspected that he was from China.

Learned real skills.

There were five people surrounding the stall, watching and waiting expectantly for the delicious food.

"Are you from China, sir?"

"Of course, so I want to try whether the flavor of the pancakes you made is authentic?" Li Mo didn't worry when he heard him speaking broken Chinese, and just stayed aside quietly.

Five pancakes Last night, a young American man used a professional shovel to clean the pancake stall, and then asked: "Do you want any extra snacks?"

Li Mo looked at the stall: "Make five for us, each with two eggs, beef slices, lettuce and ham, slightly spicy."

"Forty dollars in total."

I went there and found that five pancakes cost more than 200 yuan. But when I saw that the American guy added large pieces of beef and ham, I really thought it was a bit cheap.

"The craft you learned in China?"

"Learned it from the mother of one of my school friends."

"Do you make a lot of money?"

"It's quite a lot, much better than when I go to work. I used to work for only 5,000 US dollars a month. But making this pancake fruit, I have to earn at least 7,000 US dollars a month, and I have free time. I also brought two

An apprentice, they are setting up a stall not far away."

"When I have more money, I plan to open a Chinese snack bar. In addition to this pancake and fruit, there are also spiced eggs, spicy beef, braised pig's trotters, etc. Those who have never tried it are scared, but once they have eaten it, they will not like it.

It's absolutely delicious, especially the pig's trotters, which are fragrant, glutinous and delicious. I want to eat them again, but I'm not good at it, so I need to study it slowly."

Li Mo nodded appreciatively while eating pancakes. This American boy was very motivated. At this time, seven or eight people gathered around the pancake stall. The boy greeted him enthusiastically and operated quickly.

"Mr. Qin, this tastes really good."

"It's true. In China, when I eat pancakes with fruit, I usually put tenderloin and ham sausage. When I get here, I replace it with beef slices and ham. After careful calculation, it's really not expensive. Just wait a minute, I'll buy it later.

one."

Li Mo went back and bought another one.

The pace of life in New York is very fast, and the most common people you see on the road are office workers in a hurry. If you are carrying a bag and wandering around, they are basically here to visit, and the most familiar ones are the faces from Asia.

"Da Shan, have you always done field work?"

"Yes, but this time I may change my position when I return to China."

"That's good. If you work in the field all year round, it may be too difficult for some people to get out of singles."

Wu Yue suddenly curled her lips, and the other three wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

"Dashan, we seem to be being watched."

While walking, Li Mo suddenly whispered.

"In which direction?"

Dashan and others are not surprised by Li Mo's super sense.

"There are two or three people right behind us. Let's find a coffee shop and sit down."

Li Mo saw a coffee shop in front of him, opened the door and walked in, then found a corner seat by the window.

"You don't have to look around, let me see what they want to do?"

After ordering five cups of coffee in May, Li Mo looked out through the glass pretending to be bored. Sure enough, three people appeared at the door of the coffee shop. They first looked up at the door and then whispered to each other. One of them was wearing sunglasses.

, wearing a crisp suit also opened the door and walked in.
