"Can a little girl who is less than 20 years old make you so embarrassed?"
Li Zhi stood beside the man, looking docile and submissive: "Boss, you don't know, this Jiang Qingli is really hard to deal with!"
The man in front of me looked like an aristocratic gentleman who had walked out of an old-time oil painting. He was tall and slender, and his clothes were extremely sophisticated. He wore a tailored black suit that was tailored to his body, and every inch of the fabric exuded the luster of high-end customization. The collar of his white shirt was flawless, and he wore an exquisite silver tie that swayed gently in front of his chest, showing his extraordinary taste and status.
However, beneath his seemingly gentle appearance, he hid a pair of deep and cunning eyes, which stared at Jiang Qingli walking on the street through the transparent glass window.
Kaplan, who had keenly sensed the commercial potential of "Qingyuan", bribed Li Zhi privately and provided him with funds to establish "Changyin Mountain Spring", allowing Li Zhi to successfully become one of the beverage giants.
The factory of Changyin Mountain Spring was closed and he also lost a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, the culprit turned out to be a little girl.
Kaplan stared at Jiang Qingli's back with interest for a while, then suddenly smiled: "It's interesting that it can make me lose more than ten billion."
----------
The next night when Jiang Qingli went to attend the auction, she found that the original starting price of 20 billion US dollars had become billion US dollars!
Jiang Qingli wanted to find the organizer to ask for clarification, but the answer she got was: the owner of the Arhat Head temporarily raised the price yesterday.
It can actually be operated like this?!
Jiang Qingli had no choice but to accept it. It was only 20 billion US dollars, but she could still accept it.
But something was very wrong with the next part of the auction.
Because the price of this Arhat head was so expensive, no one except Jiang Qingli was willing to continue.
Just as the gavel on the auction table was about to strike, a foreign man suddenly started raising his placard to bid.
Jiang Qingli could only keep following.
The man bidding against her was obviously nonchalant, raising his hand without hesitation each time, not caring that the price had already soared to $30 billion.
Jiang Qingli finally understood. It turned out that someone knew that she would definitely buy the Arhat Head and was deliberately trying to make a fortune from her!
But she had no choice. If she gave up this time, she didn't know when she would be able to see the cultural relics that had been lost overseas again.
In the end, Jiang Qingli successfully bought the Arhat head for US$32 billion.
When she was about to pay and pick up the goods, she was suddenly stopped by a man with a Western face who was about fifty years old.
The other party spoke in a fluent London accent: "Miss Jiang, nice to meet you."
The man took out his business card and gave it to Jiang Qingli.
Jiang Qingli had no interest at first, but she heard the man say, "I can see that you like that Arhat head very much. 32 billion is not a small amount."
Jiang Qingli's tone was also unfriendly: "What do you mean?"
The man continued with a smile, "What if I tell you that you can take the Arhat Head away for half the price?"
After that, the man continued to hand over the business card in his hand.
Jiang Qingli was full of doubts. She glanced at the name on the business card and then refused: "Thank you, but I'm not interested in what you are talking about."
Then turned and left.
After returning to the hotel, Jiang Qingli found Erik and told him the name she saw on the business card.
"Kaplan, he's weird. He just thrust his business card at me out of the blue."
Erik frowned and thought for a moment before he said, "Kaplan is from an ancient family, a descendant of the nobility. His family's position in the financial center of London is unshakable. Qingli, do you know Canary Wharf? Canary Wharf is the current new financial city. Kaplan personally owns 20 buildings, not to mention other businesses. Kaplan himself is also very fond of collecting. I heard that several sculptures in this art exhibition are his collections."
After hearing what happened, Jiang Qingli suddenly felt a little scared.
I hope the oil paintings in her hands won’t be exposed!
So that's why this famous Kaplan took the initiative to find her?
Just as she was confused, Jiang Qingli's cell phone suddenly rang.
It's an unknown number.
She answered the call curiously, but unexpectedly a familiar voice came out: "Ms. Jiang, let's talk about cooperation."
Jiang Qingli: "How do you know my number?!"
Jiang Qingli didn't know that the person she was talking to on the phone lived in the room above her head.
----------
Kaplan sat at the desk with Li Zhi standing beside him.
He was on the phone, and although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold: "It's not difficult to get a person's phone number. This is enough to show my determination to cooperate with Miss Jiang."
Jiang Qingli: "Cooperation? Cooperation on what?"
Kaplan continued, "Miss Jiang doesn't know me, but she should know Li Zhi. He is a useless loser who made me lose a lot of money. Miss Jiang should know the reason better than anyone else. I know that Miss Jiang is not only capable but also wealthy. Miss Jiang, why don't you follow me from now on? The money I lost because of Miss Jiang can be written off, and you can take the Arhat Head away for half the price."
Hearing this, Li Zhi, who was standing aside, became uncalm.
“Boss, how can you cooperate with Jiang Qingli?”
Kaplan impatiently made a silent gesture. He wanted to continue to say something to Jiang Qingli, but at this time Jiang Qingli's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Sorry, I'm not interested at the moment."
The call was then hung up.
Li Zhi, who was standing nearby, could clearly feel Kaplan's anger. He said cautiously, "Boss, Jiang Qingli is too scheming. It's best if she doesn't cooperate."
Kaplan suddenly said angrily: "What do you know?! Do you think I really want to discuss cooperation with her?"
Li Zhi was puzzled: "So what do you want?"
Kaplan: "I've sent people to investigate. Most of her money came from auctions of antiques, and they were all long-lost antiques. I'm going to find a way to snatch all the antiques from her."
Hearing this, Li Zhi suddenly realized: "You are so powerful! How could a little girl like Jiang Qingli defeat you! But... now Jiang Qingli refuses to cooperate, what should we do now?"
Kaplan pondered for a moment, and that unpredictable smile appeared on his face again: "You, send someone to Woolwich to spread some news that we have reached a cooperation with Jiang Qingli. By the way, it is best to publicize the news that Jiang Qingli bought the Luohan Head. Don't let me down this time."
Li Zhi understood instantly: "Don't worry! I will never let you down!"
Woolwich is a very special place. It is the main base of the Lightning Gang, the largest gang in London.
The Lightning Gang often organizes violent activities and is good at stealing cultural relics and luxury goods. More importantly, they have a feud with Kaplan.
This trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife is simply brilliant!
