************************

Liao Jiatsev promised to help Jin Muchen auction these antiques, but he also raised his concern at that time, that is, how to deal with the police, agents, and guys with ulterior motives who were trying to track down the whereabouts of these cultural relics.

After all, the batch of antiques from the Boston Art Gallery that Jin Muchen planned to take is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and these antiques are enough to make many outlaws jealous and crazy.

What's more, those behind the scenes who are always unwilling to let go will definitely send people to track down the whereabouts of these treasures.

There are also those policemen, spies, etc. who have been stinging with each other. Even if the Russian mafia is bold, once these forces unite, they can kill more ants. Once things develop uncontrollable, even if they are cruel enough to kill all these people, will you still be able to do this auction?

If you identify everyone and take action on the boat, what if the gunshot scare those distinguished guests?

Besides, rabbits can bite people even if they are anxious, and dogs can jump over the wall if they are anxious. If an accident occurs while distinguishing and those guys suddenly attack, they will have no bullets. He cannot guarantee the personal safety of the rich and powerful men.

If those rich guys have an accident, then what's the point of your auction?

So after Liao Jiatsev raised this series of problems, it really gave Jin Muchen a headache for a while. Finally, he made up his mind and bit his teeth.

Anyway, I have to do it, so I can just do it with a big vote.

Don’t you want to chase after you? Then just send you to see God.

This will not only pull out the nails that have been infiltrated and remove the unstable factors. It will also give a warning to those who have been coveting these treasures and want to find out the real murderer behind the museum robbery, that we are not easy to mess with.

These people are what you are pursuing!

This is a very good opportunity to shock and establish authority, not to mention that he is pulling the Russian mafia's tiger skin to make a big banner.

I believe that only they can do such cruel means in the world at present. Those who know a little about the inside story will think of them.

And the Russians would not miss such an opportunity to become famous for their "boom". Even if it would cause the pursuit of American and British agents, they would not care.

After all, this matter is too "crazy". As long as you tell it out on the road, it is definitely a matter of being face-saving. This is a matter of giving yourself extra points, so the Russians will probably not mind taking the blame.

So when Jin Muchen told this plan, Dimacho was scared on the spot, but Liao Gatesev only hesitated for a while and agreed.

Anyway, the Russians are famous for not being afraid of heaven and earth. Even if they take the blame this time, it will attract crazy revenge from the British and American governments, but the benefits it can bring to them are unimaginable.

At least when competing for territory in North America, many local gangs that were originally not fond of them would definitely retreat after hearing their names. This would save many brothers' lives, and this deal was very cost-effective.

To defeat the soldiers without fighting is a supreme honor in the Tao. Just by reporting a name can make the enemy retreat. How pleasant is this?

Moreover, this matter was pressed on his head, which would be of great benefit to his future competition for the throne of the boss of the gang.

"Haha, OK. The nails have been pulled out, let's start now."

Looking at the fireworks in the distance, Jin Muchen threw the detonator into the sea, and then said to Liao Gatesev and Dimacho.

Dimacho and Liao Gatesev looked at each other. Although they didn't mind working with Jin Muchen, they were a little unwilling to stay in the same room with him for a while, not to mention that they had another idea now, which was to go to the auction hall below to take a few treasures for themselves.

For gang members like them, those antiques are actually a perfect money laundering tool. You must know that they can earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars every year through illegal channels.

However, the money cannot be deposited in the bank, and it is difficult to invest, so people can take it out for investment, and they will have to be charged a commission. The speed is slow and the risk is high. Maybe the money is not whitewashed, and they are taken over by the police. They have never seen the tragedy of being locked up.

What's more, even if the truth is revealed and you are about to run away, you have to bring some fineness and softness, right?

One million dollars in cash is a big box, heavy and hard to go through security, but if it is an antique, it will be different.

Especially the antique oil paintings or Chinese ancient paintings that gangsters like the most, this thing can be worth millions of dollars, and a higher-end one can be exchanged for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

It is also very convenient to carry it with you. You can take it away by just drawing a roll of paper or just clipping it into your clothes. It is also very cashing out. How can this be antique? Isn’t these big denomination bills?

This is also one of the main reasons why Western oil paintings are so popular!

Many of the lost famous European oil paintings are actually collected by those "underground workers"!

Moreover, this time, the people who came to participate in this auction were not only rich people or representatives of wealthy people from all over the world, but also many of them were underground bosses from all over the world.

For example, the representatives of the Yamaguchi group and the drug lords who came to Central and South America, compared with the inconvenient banknotes, these easy-to-carry works of art are their favorites.

So Dimacho and Liao Gatesev didn't want to miss such an opportunity. After all, as partners this time, Jin Muchen promised them if they participated in the auction.

As long as they take pictures of the works, they will have the opportunity to enjoy a 50% discount on three of them. Such a good thing cannot be missed.

Dimacho was promoted because he was helped by Jin Muchen, so he did not have the benefit of commission in this auction, so he could not miss this opportunity to enjoy the discount.

The same is true for Liao Gatesev. Because he was not a bloody man, he was given the opportunity to participate in the construction of the new logistics port in Naples, so he also had no chance to get a commission, so he could not miss this discount.

Now that the auction has begun, the two of them have to join in the fun.

Jin Muchen did not need to show up at the auction site because the place had been handed over to the professionals whom Liao Jiatsev had "invited" to take care of.

He came to the VIP room at the back and opened several wall-mounted TVs on the wall. From here he could see the surveillance footage from all angles of the auction site.

The auction site was set in the dance hall of the original cruise ship, but the modification was much stronger than the Mediterranean Star. Not only were there carpets on the ground, but there were also many sofa chairs.

Moreover, all kinds of wine, drinks, and snacks were all open for supply. The rich people sitting there had already come back to the shock brought by the big fireworks just now.

They all knew why those guys died. They would not feel guilty or cry for those guys. After all, there are not many people who can get to their current wealth and status. Even many of them have a bloody path...

Anyway, everyone's goal of coming here is very clear, which is the stolen artwork, and the auctioneer has not kept it. After all, this is not an ordinary auction, and everyone is in a hurry.

So the auction started with the real story, and the opening was the stolen Western oil paintings from the Boston Art Gallery.

Of course, Jin Muchen would not sell all these oil paintings. He kept the most valuable ones, such as Van Gogh's "Orwell's House", Furmeer's "Concert", and Rembrow's self-portrait. The total price of the works of the Three Dutch Musketeers is over $500 million, and the potential for appreciation in the future is also very high. Jin Muchen does not act blindly.

There was also a portrait of Paul Cézanne for his wife, and he took out the rest.

For example, Edgar Degas's "Four-Year-Old Dancer", Mary Cassatt's "In the Box", Renoir's "The Girl Picking Flowers in the Grass", Camille Bilosa's "Two Peasant Women on the Grass", Gustav Cassatt's "Fruit Exhibition" and so on.

These paintings are all ranked among the top ten most popular antique oil paintings in the Boston Art Gallery selected by the Americans themselves.

They are all famous works of famous artists and are also very popular works. Such oil paintings are often the most popular at auctions, and if they follow the normal auction process.

That will definitely be left as the finale, and it will definitely not be released at the same auction. It must be hyped first, and then take out a pair of them at each auction to finale, so that the auction company and sellers can get the greatest benefits.

But this is not a serious auction, and everyone is in a hurry, so there is no need to make those flower heads, as they are real and real as soon as they come.

Before the auction began, professional appraisers sent by the wealthy people came to the stage to browse and identify the authenticity of these paintings. These appraisers who came were all experts.

So it was soon confirmed that these paintings were all authentic, and the auction began.

You should know that if a single copy of these paintings is taken on the market normally, then basically each copy will have to start at a minimum price of 20 to 30 million US dollars, but here, the starting price of each painting is only 10 million US dollars.

This is much lower than a normal auction. When he heard the auctioneer shouting such a reserve price, almost all the wealthy and representatives felt that everyone was right in this auction.
