"Twenty-seven million for the first time,... twenty-seven million was sold.", the auctioneer made the final decision.
Young Master Xu was sitting below and his face turned dark. This painting was the one he took and then cheated Cassandra of 1.5 million.
Damn it, this woman couldn't have done it on purpose.
However, although the price is high, people like Wang Haihe are just doing it from left to right. Their purpose is to raise the price, and then let their customers sell the same type of paintings one after another. Their people will take these paintings at high prices.
.
In this way, they can not only earn money laundering commissions, but also earn the price difference after the appreciation of the art.
The entire money laundering process is not completed until the inventory in the customer's hands is sold out. Although Xu Chuan dare not say that all artworks that have greatly appreciated in value in recent years are money laundering, at least 80% of them are like this.
If you want to tell the difference, you can look at whether the value of other different types of artworks by this author has increased in value. For example, if a certain artist's paintings have increased in value but the sculptures are worthless, that would be very problematic.
But this has nothing to do with Xu Chuan. He himself has a large amount of black money that needs to be laundered. There is no way to say who is more noble than the other.
He had considered this method before, but after all, the loopholes were still huge and the cycle was too long. He simply couldn't wait, otherwise his private museum would have been put to use long ago.
The auction lasted until the evening, and was followed by an extremely luxurious banquet. Some executives who did not attend the art exhibition came with their wives.
The security work this time was very good. If there is another attack like that, it will only happen if these people sneak into the banquet first.
Xu Chuan said that actually I can, he can bring people in and tie up all these rich people and ask them to hand over all their IC, IQ, and IP.
But just thinking about it, it would be great fun if he did this.
Today's harvest is huge. Some members of Cassandra's money laundering group have surfaced, and a large part of those bidding are their people.
"How's it going? It's almost all recorded." Xu Chuan asked as he got in the car.
Curtis shook the camera and said, "Don't worry, I'll show it to Mr. Nigel when I get back."
Xu Chuan nodded, well, some people are not afraid of death or torture to extract confessions. I wonder if he can be selfless and watch others use his resources to make a lot of money, while he can only die in a dirty gutter.
"Oh, boss, you are so bad. This Mr. Nigel will vomit blood. He will definitely drag others along with him before he dies." Curtis said with a big toad-like grin.
This MI6 agent survived the torture just like James Bond. Xu Chuan wanted to know what he would do when he saw Cassandra and Wang Haihe holding an exhibition talking and laughing without remembering him at all.
What is the reaction?
MI6's search for him has never stopped. Because of this matter, Ying even used some hidden lines and had conflicts with Maozi. From this matter, we can also see the importance of this guy. He knows too much.
Even if he can't be rescued, he can't be kept alive.
But Mr. Nigel doesn't know these things. He will only despair that he has been abandoned. If he had just been arrested a few days ago, he would not have fallen into this thinking trap. But after a period of torture,
His thinking has become slower and slower.
There was almost no difference from what Xu Chuan thought. After Nigel watched the video, the agent who was originally exhausted after being tortured directly exploded.
After venting like crazy, Nigel finally spoke.
…
"Boss, you guessed it right, that Nigel has been hired." After one night, Albert couldn't wait to tell Xu Chuan the good news.
Xu Chuan sat on a chair and propped up his chin, "Did you ask as I said?"
"Of course, he already thinks of us as Langley people." Albert replied with a smirk on his face.
The techniques they used were all learned from Brian Mills. The people in MI6 must be aware of the old CIA agent's techniques. Nigel basically believed that this was an internal fight between allies.
Xu Chuan's questions also focused on their money laundering issues, rather than Da Ying's internal intelligence.
So the whole thing looks a lot like Langley's field staff stumbled upon their operation and were about to pull off some dirty tricks.
This kind of psychological suggestion can make Nigel's psychological defense less strong. Anyway, he only ruined those people's business. He is already dying, so these losses will be regarded as funerary goods. Of course, if a few people can still die,
Better.
Cassandra, the woman, and Wang Haihe, his partner, cannot live happily even if they die.
These were basically what Nigel was thinking, and once he had this idea, it was like a devil's whisper that kept echoing in his mind until he had a nervous breakdown.
"This guy does have a private force in his hands, and Michael's injury was probably caused by them." Albert got the latest information.
Xu Chuan was startled, "You didn't ask directly, did you?" He couldn't let Nigel associate him with Cassandra. It was not that he was worried about what he would do, but what a person who was about to die could do, Xu Chuan was worried.
What's more important is that this person will rebuild his psychological defense after realizing this, which will make things even more troublesome.
"Fuck, how is that possible? I'm not a fool." Albert was very angry at Xu Chuan's distrust.
Xu Chuan raised his hands, "Okay, okay, I made a mistake."
Damn, this bastard has a fiery temper. I don't want to fight with him because of this matter.
However, this guy really got very useful information. That's what they came here for, and the rest was just a matter of convenience.
Xu Chuan waved and called the others over, "We may have found that group. Nigel has been arrested for a while. Let's act as soon as possible to prevent others from escaping."
Without Nigel's restraint, no one can say how long this group would have stayed in Riyusk, or even whether they would still be there now.
"Assign manpower and dig out these people. I want to know whose people these are." Xu Chuan pointed to an address on the confession.
After arranging these things, Xu Chuan looked at other parts of the confession, which involved some information about their money laundering group. At first, Nigel only used the convenience of his identity to help some executives of Daying do some secret things.
activities.
However, as time went by, he discovered the lucrative business of money laundering. As he developed, he gradually began to carry out money laundering business on a large scale. Later, he attracted Cassandra and used her special status to make this business successful.
more smoothly.
It can be said that this art exhibition is their attempt to expand their influence. If successful, they may monopolize more than 60% of the black money market in Europe. This amount of money can be calculated in hundreds of billions every year, even if
They only charge a 20% handling fee, which will be an astronomical figure.
However, the art market is so big that it is impossible to handle such a huge amount of funds. That’s why Wang Haihe entered the market. His casino and some financial businesses can handle a lot of business.
But now all this has nothing to do with Nigel, how could he not have hatred.
"It is still necessary to do preliminary investigation and intelligence collection. This kid cannot be completely trusted. Before he dies, he will definitely hope that both us and those people will suffer losses." Xu Chuan put down the confession and just took a look at the contents. Don't be too cautious
really.
There is also a possibility that he deliberately released this news for his own investigation, in order to contact MI6 and let the other party counter-investigate, in order to fight for a chance of survival.
But no matter what, we finally had a direction and we could carry out targeted investigations. Xu Chuan could only keep emphasizing to everyone to be extra cautious and never underestimate the people of MI6.
The intelligence organization of the old empire is really not a vegetarian, and one of the intelligence experts on our side was injured and the other went to Moscow.
If it weren't for the overly complicated situation in Riyuesk and the interlocking forces of all parties, Xu Chuan would really not be able to cause trouble easily.
Umbrella's people are now divided into several groups. Some are staring at Cassandra, some are staring at Ali Taseloff, and some are looking at the Daxian Consulate, and many people are also staring at it.
He asked Xu Chuan to go to the new base to check the progress of the work.
Fortunately, various official departments are competing for the next presidential candidate, so the priority of other matters can only be moved back.
After the art exhibition, Cassandra began to pack up her belongings in the presidential palace. She really needed to move out later, but this woman was not unhappy at all. This art exhibition went very smoothly. According to the current market conditions
, just the paintings he intercepted can be sold for 200 million pounds.
Of course, this cannot be sold at once, otherwise the market will not be able to digest so many works. Their entire plan spans nearly two years, and this time they need to clean up nearly 70 billion pounds of funds.
If Nigel's original plan had been followed, the whole process would have been much longer, but due to Wang Haihe's sudden addition, their methods became richer and the time span was greatly shortened.
Clients who were eager to get their hands on cash were very happy with their new partner. If Nigel hadn't known so many secrets, he would have been forgotten.
"But who kidnapped him?" Cassandra was also confused about this matter, and there was no news after the kidnapping, which made many people confused like her.
It's no wonder that her superiors thought it was Mao Zi who did it. The whole thing was done in a simple and crude way, and the style was too similar.
Cassandra shook her head, stood up and put her son Max on the bed. When the child was tired from playing, he lay down on the carpet and fell asleep. The child's mind was pure and carefree.
MI6 had already given her an evacuation order, and Nigel's disappearance brought forward the plan that was supposed to be implemented a month later.
Cassandra knew that if her art exhibition hadn't involved too many executives, she should have evacuated the day after Nigel disappeared. After all, no one could guarantee whether Nigel would confess her.
She will take Max to live in London. As for the business she is doing now, she doesn't want to do it anymore. The benefits are great and the risks are also great.
Now the money in her hand plus those paintings is enough to support the lives of mother and son, so there is no need to take risks anymore.
Moreover, MI6 will also let Cassandra keep a low profile for a period of time, which may be calculated in years, and she may never have another mission.
If this operation can be disclosed decades later, it will definitely go down in history. It has subverted a country twice with an extremely covert method, and it can already be written into the agent training textbook.
Well, these are all Cassandra's imaginations. She still has many things to do now, such as making a settlement with Wang Haihe.
Their cooperation was quite pleasant. After Wang Haihe showed his abilities, Cassandra introduced him to those customers. The final result seemed to be good, and all parties were satisfied.
"I will not interfere in future business." Cassandra said calmly.
Wang Haihe was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this woman could let go of such a huge benefit at the drop of a hat. However, this was a good thing for him, and he felt excited. He had previously considered how to distribute the benefits.
"You don't need to share the money with me. I won't get my hands on Nigel's money." Cassandra said firmly.
Wang Haihe has been merciless in terms of handling fees during this period. Although the tens of billions of pounds have not been completely washed away, he has already collected more than one billion in handling fees.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that the other party still wanted to speak, Cassandra waved her hand to stop him, "You don't have to persuade me, I have my own plan, and it will be good for you too, right?"
Right?" She didn't want to go around in circles with the other person anymore, and now she desperately wanted to live a normal life.
Wang Haihe smiled nonchalantly. The identity of this woman made people think that as the first lady of Bai Qianwo, she was engaged in money laundering activities with a person with a big background, and most of her customers were senior executives of Da Ying.
.
However, he also knew that the more he knew, the faster he would die. Some things were so rotten in his stomach that it was best not to say them out while talking in his sleep.
He is very busy, really very busy. This kind of business is really not just a matter of clicking the mouse on the computer. Most of the money that needs to be cleaned is cash. He needs to find a way to smuggle out the money that is hidden in the nooks and crannies.
.
Each person easily has hundreds of millions or billions of funds, and the weight of those piles of money can be calculated in tons.
Part of the cash for the order that Nigel received has been transported to Riyuesk, and a large part of it has been sent to Bolan by military aircraft. As for how to transport it, that is what Wang Haihe needs to consider.
It can be said that as long as this link can be solved, the subsequent business will no longer be a challenge.
Wang Haihe used all his connections for this matter. No matter how much money was spent on this matter, it was worth it.
Since Cassandra is resolute, Wang Haihe will of course stop saying anything. Now that the customers and channels are in his hands, it makes no difference whether she is with her or not.
After exchanging a few words, Wang Haihe stood up to say goodbye. Before the car drove out of the presidential residence, he looked back at the magnificent villa.
"Ah Bao, remember to remind me to prepare a gift for the first lady." He thought for a while, "I remember that I still have an oil painting in my hand. You can send it to me later."
"Mr. Wang, do you need to go to such trouble?"
"Forge a good relationship, who knows if it will be useful in the future."
…
In the northern part of the city of Riyusk, in an apartment building with few residents, a dozen mercenaries with nothing to do are resting here.
"Bullier, when are we leaving?" One of them, a burly man with no shirt on and a full body of tattoos, nailed the Gobo Mark 2 tactical blade on the table.
Another older white man with long flowing hair put down the cup in his hand and said, "The employer has been kidnapped. Of course, this is not a problem, but the problem is that he hasn't paid me the balance yet."
