When Xu Yun got this vacation, he originally wanted to go back to the Shenlong Brigade and have a few days of leisure and comfort, but after returning to the army, he didn't expect that there was an unexpected thing waiting for him.
This is something that probably no one has thought of. Something happened to Xia Qiuyu, the daughter of the mysterious thief Wuying.
The thief Wuying Xia Fan can also be regarded as a legendary figure in the underground world of the previous generation.
Perhaps the most awesome thing he has ever done is to steal the snake head of a bronze statue of the twelve zodiac animals. As for where he stole it and who he stole it from, no one knows yet.
Everyone on earth knows that the Chinese zodiac animal head bronze statue was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall in the Royal Garden. It was made of red copper during the Qing Dynasty and is a priceless national treasure for China.
At that time, the British and French forces invaded China and burned the royal gardens. The bronze statues of animal heads were even taken abroad by those shameless bandits.
So far, bronze statues of cow heads, monkey heads, tiger heads, pig heads, and horse heads have returned to China through various channels, and are all collected in the Poly Art Museum. Subsequently, the French Pinault family made another wise decision
, will donate to China free of charge the bronze rat heads and rabbit heads from the twelve major water paintings of the Yuanmingyuan that were lost overseas.
It is said to be a donation, but in fact it is giving something back to us that belongs to us.
The Pinault family is actually the majority shareholder of Christie's auction house, and also owns a luxury goods group with a series of well-known brands.
They caused an auction controversy because of the animal heads. Some people even found out about the brands owned by the Pinault family and called on Chinese consumers to boycott. The Pinault family's image in China was severely damaged.
Gucci Saint Laurent, Segio Rossi, Boucheron Balenciaga Kirin jewelry, these are all their brands.
Think about the current love of Chinese consumers for luxury jewelry. What a huge market this is?
One-fifth of the world's people are Chinese.
Although China is not the richest country, China is definitely home to rich people.
Against the backdrop of global luxury goods consumption slowing down due to the economic downturn, Chinese consumers actually bought nearly half of the world's luxury goods in one year, of which more than 70% were consumed overseas.
What kind of proportion is this? Less than 20% of the world’s people buy 47% of luxury goods, which amounts to more than 100 billion US dollars in consumption.
This is of course fat in the eyes of businessmen.
That's why the Pinault family returned the things in order to win the favor of the Chinese people.
This means that they can get more benefits in the luxury goods market.
Wealth Research Institute has long calculated that Chinese consumers’ per capita overseas consumption is more than 1,500 euros, ranking first in the world in terms of spending power!
With the rapid growth of China's economy, the wealth of the Chinese people continues to accumulate, their consumption power continues to increase, and their consumer demand for luxury goods is growing day by day.
Not talking about luxury goods, let’s talk about what ordinary people wear nowadays.
Twenty years ago, only a handful of people paid attention to brands. Ten years ago, only wealthy people in big cities paid attention to brands. But what about now?
Ordinary families in any small county, with a per capita monthly income of several thousand yuan, are beginning to pay attention to brands.
Let’s talk about sneakers. The brands born in the 1980s wore Double Star and Hui Li when they were in elementary school. The brands born in the 1990s wore Anta and Xtep in elementary school. As for those born in the 2000s, they wore international brands in elementary school.
, Adidas is perfect.
It’s even worse for those born in the 2010s. Caterpillar toddler shoes are all from Nike. 450 pairs of shoes is enough for those born in the 1980s to buy a basket of them when they were young.
This is the growth of the Chinese people's economic strength. When these children grow up, I am afraid that Adinaike will not even look at them anymore.
With only luxury accessories in their eyes, they may be the main customers of the Pinault family.
That's why the Pino family returned the things for more benefit.
Having said that, although these beast heads have been found one after another, they have never been able to collect twelve of them.
This is more difficult than collecting the blessings of professionalism during the Chinese New Year. It’s no joke. If we could collect these blessings, I don’t know how many patriotic rich people would be willing to spend money to pay for them.
Xia Fan was definitely the number one thief back then, and he did too many incredible things.
Generally speaking, thieves have a bad reputation, but Xia Fan is different. He got the title of Master Thief Wuying and was respected by so many people just because he "stole" the snake head back.
He did the same thing as Wuxie, which was to hand over the snake head to the state.
After this incident came out, his reputation was completely resounding in the underground world.
It can be said that he is definitely a brilliant figure of his generation. Xu Chen and Xia Fan were also close friends back then.
But now that Xu Chen is imprisoned, Xia Fan has also left this world.
Of course it was not Xia Fan who was involved in the accident this time. Even if Xia Fan was still alive, the only place that could trap Xia Fan would be the place where Xu Chen was imprisoned.
The person who had the accident was Xia Qiuyu, Xia Fan's daughter.
Xu Yun met Xia Qiuyu last year, but she said she wanted to travel when she returned to China, and there was no news after that.
In fact, Xia Qiuyu is not traveling, she is doing something that her father has not completed.
Xia Fan collected a lot of clues and information about the zodiac sign Bronze Head back then, and then he got the Snake Head. He also had clues about other things but was never able to get them.
Taking the clues collected by Xia Fan, Xia Qiuyu began the task of looking for the heads of dragons, chickens, dogs, and sheep.
Once this kind of thing starts, it's a road of no return. Once you embark on it, you can't look back.
Xia Fan was like this back then, and Xia Qiuyu was the same way.
She only had one thought, which was to finish what her father had not finished.
As for other things, she didn't think much about it. She just hoped that she could complete this matter. But she never told anyone about it.
For Xia Qiuyu, this seems to be a goal and motivation in her life.
Even though his father had told her that she could not trust anyone in this world, but she could trust Xu Chen's son, Zhang Miaozhi's godson, Xu Yun.
She didn't tell Xu Yun about this incident when she met him.
It's obviously very dangerous for a girl to do something like this, even if it doesn't sound like there's anything terrible about it.
But if you really think about it, how can it be possible that there is no danger in doing such a thing?
These "disappeared" animal heads obviously cannot really exist. The earth is so big, they must be on this earth, and they will not be taken away by aliens.
So someone must be "collecting" it. After all, this thing is a priceless treasure. Every beast is a priceless treasure!
People who can hide themselves are definitely not easy to mess with.
This is where the danger lies.
Once this animal head is stolen, the person who collects it will certainly not dare to tell anyone about it. Telling it will definitely cause an uproar, and it is impossible to get it back. After all, it is a treasure that belongs to the country.
Not only will you not get something, your reputation will also be seriously affected.
This is what the people who collect and own this treasure have to worry about, so they will never let anyone steal it from their hands.
No matter who the other party is, they will find their way to the problem and they will use the cruelest means to solve the problem.
Xia Qiuyu It is obvious how dangerous it is for a girl to do such a thing.
