"No wonder rich people like to buy private jets, which are more spacious and comfortable than first-class cabins on civil aviation." Fang Ziyuan looked very excited after getting on the plane, and thanked Xue Chen and Andrew for letting him take a free flight.
.
Fang Ziyuan was already a proficient in gambling at a young age and could win large sums of money. He was naturally much smarter and more discerning than his peers. He could tell that Andrew should be from the Eka Group and was probably the heir.
And that blonde beauty must be an assistant or secretary.
But Xue Chen's identity made him very curious and he couldn't figure it out.
Andrew took out a cigar box from the box next to the seat and asked Xue Chen with his eyes. When Xue Chen shook his head, he tasted it himself.
"Xue Chen, if you like private jets, I think you can buy one, but you don't need to buy such a large one, because private jets are also the image of the group, so of course you have to buy the most high-end ones. If you buy a private jet personally, it's cheap.
It’s only one million U.S. dollars, and a better one is only five million U.S. dollars. With your harvest this time, you can easily exchange for several planes, right?”
Xue Chen laughed and said: "I am not a person who travels often. I may not leave Yunzhou Province several times a year. I bought a plane and put it in the warehouse to rust?"
But Andrew was right. This time he came to San Francisco to attend the wedding, he did get something unexpected. The first piece of purple jade ink ingot, he resold it at a base price of 2 million with a 40% discount.
Zhan Huafeng.
The value of the ancient sword and Qinggang dagger is difficult to estimate, but one thing is certain, the value of Qinggang dagger is definitely much higher than that of his Xuande furnace.
The Xuande Furnace was built under the supervision of Emperor Xuande, and a total of 4,000 were built. It is extremely rare and has an unattainable price.
But the Qinggang daggers were made under the supervision of the Wei Crown Prince Cao Pi. There are only three of them. In terms of origin, they are no worse than the Xuande furnace, and they are even better in terms of rarity. In addition, they are hidden in an ancient sword, which makes it even better.
What a legend!
The second is the income from deep-sea salvage. Three hand-selected antiques, Daoguang exquisite official kiln blue and white general jars, are worth a sky-high price in today's hot blue and white porcelain market. If they are put up for auction, the valuation may be between 20 million and 30 million.
Between tens of millions.
This is all calculated by him based on the auction prices of the same type of auction items at international auction houses in the past two years, and is not determined by himself.
The cloisonné enamel Ruyi is relatively average among the three he picked, but relatively speaking! If it is taken out, it will definitely be a popular item. Not to mention ten million, seven or eight million will definitely be available.
The inlaid ice-type emerald gem and the exquisite filigree work are worth the price!
His favorite among the three pieces is the ivory wine glass, because it is so exquisite and unique. He has never seen anything similar auctioned by major auction companies over the years.
Therefore, it is very difficult to estimate.
In addition to these antique artifacts, 10% of the proceeds from the salvaged treasures were also transferred to his bank account last night.
After calculation by the asset appraiser of the Eka Group, all the salvage proceeds were more than 180 million U.S. dollars, and the share of income given to him was 18 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 100 million yuan!
With all the total income added up, although he cannot afford the Gulfstream private jet he is currently flying on, it is still very easy to buy an ordinary private jet.
"The journey is still long, let's play cards." Andrew suggested with a smile.
Fang Ziyuan glanced at Xue Chen subconsciously. The last time he was on the plane, he suffered a painful loss at the hands of Xue Chen.
"Okay." Xue Chen said.
Crossing the Pacific Ocean is destined to be a long journey, but sitting in the comfort of a private jet doesn't seem so long.
…
Eka's salvage ship gained nearly 200 million U.S. dollars during a salvage operation, and encountered pirates on its way back. This was very big news, and there were many reports on TV, newspapers, and the Internet.
In a manor house in Nevada, adjacent to California, a woman with an angelic face was logging on to browse a military website. She happened to see news about the Eka Group and clicked on it.
He glanced at it with an expressionless expression, but just when he was about to close the webpage, his lavender eyes quickly condensed, staring at the photo on the webpage of the crew of the Ode disembarking, which is more accurate.
He said he was looking at a slightly blurry side face at the edge of the photo!
"It's him?! It's impossible... isn't he already... dead?"
The woman closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them, she looked carefully again and again, comparing them with the memories in her mind. Gradually, her whole body began to tremble slightly, and her delicate and beautiful face showed an extremely complex expression.
His expression, his eyes were staring at the picture for a long time without moving away.
She is none other than Jessica Kermeon.
After closing the computer, Jessica walked out of the room and found her father Edward in the study.
"Dad, I have to go out for a while."
Edward just put down the phone in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Jessica, where are you going?"
"I'm going... for a trip. I want to go out for a walk." Jessica said with a slightly softer tone.
Edward glanced at his daughter, thought for a while and said, "Okay, but before leaving, I have something to entrust you to handle."
"What's the matter?" Jessica asked.
"I don't know if you have seen the news. The Eka Group in San Francisco, California, recently salvaged the cargo from the sunken trading ship Oasis in the mid-19th century. It is worth nearly 200 million U.S. dollars. It is really a big fortune.
."
Edward sighed.
"I went through some connections and got in touch with people from the Eka Group. I plan to select some antique artifacts from the salvaged goods and trade them. You come with me. It can be processed in three days at most." Edward said.
road.
"Okay." Jessica's eyes fluctuated slightly.
The next day, Edward and Jessica took a plane to San Francisco, California, and met Mr. Adelaide, the head of the salvage department. The two parties negotiated the price of a batch of salvaged antique artifacts.
The Eka Group is more willing to sell antique artifacts into cash as quickly as possible, and as a well-known black market antique dealer in the world, Edward also has his own sales channels. The negotiation between the two parties went smoothly, and it took only two days to reach an agreement of nearly 50,000 yuan.
A multi-million dollar transaction.
At the cocktail party to celebrate the successful transaction, Jessica seized a good opportunity and stood alone in front of Adelaide.
"Hello, Mr. Adelaide." Jessica greeted politely.
"Oh, it's Miss Jessica, hello." Adelaide looked at Jessica and thought that Edward really gave birth to a good daughter. She was as beautiful as an angel, and she handled things vigorously and resolutely.
"Mr. Adelaide, I have something to ask you. If it is convenient, please let me know." Jessica said calmly.
Jessica thought about it and spoke slowly: "I saw the news about the salvage and the encounter with pirates. In the news pictures, I saw an oriental face. He looked very much like one of my... old friends.
Excuse me, is that person’s surname Xue?”
"Huh? Are Miss Jessica and Mr. Xue Chen friends?" Adelaide asked unexpectedly.
Although Jessica tried her best to hide it, her face could not help but change quietly, the pupils of her light purple eyes also shrank violently, and her breathing became stagnant.
"Yes, he and I are indeed... friends." After more than ten seconds of silence, Jessica replied.
"I didn't expect Miss Jessica to be friends with Mr. Xue. What a coincidence. Yes, Mr. Xue Chen did accompany us on this trip. To be honest, Mr. Xue Chen is really an amazing young man. If it weren't for him, we would not be here.
I am afraid that the first salvage came back empty-handed. When encountering pirates, it was Mr. Xue who took action to relieve the crisis of the Ode." Adelaide sighed repeatedly.
Jessica also pretended to be curious and asked carefully about the specific process.
Adelaide naturally did not know about the grudges between Xue Chen and Jessica, and would not have thought that there was even a huge conflict between life and death between the two, so she did not hide anything and simply talked about it.
Xue Chen’s various magical actions when salvaging the Oasis.
Jessica was also frightened after hearing this, and her eyes kept flickering. Maybe outsiders might not be able to understand all this, or even guess it, but she had a vague hunch that all this might be related to the Eye of God!
She did shoot Xue Chen and snatched back the Eye of God, but less than a month after the Eye of God was taken back by her, the miraculous ability completely disappeared.
Her father once suspected that the Eye of God had been tampered with, causing it to lose its ability. However, after she learned from Xu Ming that Xue Chen was dead, he left it alone. Even her father had no idea about the Eye of God.
The regret in my eyes also faded.
But now Xue Chen is back from the dead, and he is still alive and well, and even appears next to her!
This gave her a strong feeling of being humiliated and ridiculed.
"What a pity. If Miss Jessica had come two days earlier, she would have seen Xue Chen show up. He would have already taken a private plane back to China with Master Andrew one step ahead." Adelaide said regretfully.
Jessica's eyes were firm: "It doesn't matter, I think it won't be long before we meet again."
After completing the transaction with the Eka Group and safely transporting a large number of antique artifacts back to her home in Nevada, Jessica told her father Edward, bought a plane ticket that day, and boarded a plane to Yunzhou Province.
.
Sitting in the first-class cabin of the plane, looking at the white clouds outside the window, Jessica used her cold and sharp eyes to make a young man who wanted to talk to him retreat before he could, while her heart was full of thoughts.
She couldn't even tell what the purpose of this trip was. She obviously hated Xue Chen to death, but after learning that he was still alive, she had a strong impulse to see him. (To be continued)
