The Black Card - Chapter 772

[Chapter 770 Strange identification]

Standing under the eaves of the backyard, Shi Lei still held half a glass of red wine in his hand.

The back door opened quietly, and Zhang Xiyue’s eyes were no longer confused at all, and she walked out very clearly.

Shi Lei turned around, looked at Zhang Xiyue, and nodded slightly to her.

“I’m going to Bao’an with your Titan in two days, so if you have anything to ask me for help, either it will be postponed, or I can only say sorry.”

Shi Lei spoke first.

Zhang Xiyue smiled slightly and said, “That’s really a coincidence. This time the location is Hong Kong Island, which is very close to Bao’an.”

Looking at Zhang Xiyue’s cunning eyes, Shi Lei couldn’t help but smile.

Yes, with the ability of Eyes of Darkness, how could they not find out that Shi Lei was about to go to Bao’an to set up branches in Bao’an and Yangcheng for the flash mob?

At this time, the Eye of the Night can still come to Shi Lei for help. Obviously, it will not be too far away from Bao’an, otherwise it will give Shi Lei a reason to refuse.

“Another appraisal?” Shi Lei didn’t have a good reason to refuse, and the appraisal would make the Eye of the Dark Night owe him a sum of money. He might also need the Eye of the Dark Night’s help in the future, so agreeing to it would be the best choice. .

Zhang Xiyue nodded and said: “The things identified this time are quite special…”

Shi Lei smiled and said: “After seeing the last mural, I don’t think there is anything more special than that. Time ?”

Zhang Xiyue said: “On the 7th of next month, it will be at the Sotheby’s auction house on Hong Kong Island.”

“Auction house? This thing doesn’t belong to you yet?” Shi Lei was a little surprised, “This is not like your style. I don’t care about money, so shouldn’t I get the thing first and then ask me for appraisal?”

Zhang Xiyue made a gesture and shrugged, looking a little helpless.

“This thing cannot be traded privately, it must be auctioned.”

Shi Lei raised his eyebrows. It must be said that Zhang Xiyue’s words aroused his interest.

“There is such a strange thing? This is a bit interesting. Why can’t it be traded privately?”

“In principle, this thing does not belong to anyone, so it cannot be traded privately. Its owner must be determined through auction.”

“In the end ,

What is it? It’s so weird.”

Zhang Xiyue gently lifted her loose hair, tucked it behind her ears, and lowered her voice and said, “The right to salvage an ancient sunken ship.”

Shi Lei was stunned.

Salvage rights?

Ancient shipwreck?

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that this sunken ship probably sank in the high seas, so it is difficult to determine who it belongs to and which country it belongs to.

There must be a large number of antiques among ancient shipwrecks, and even the parts on the shipwrecks are already antiques themselves.

“According to the information we have received, this sunken ship is very likely to be one of Zheng He’s fleet that sailed to the West during the Ming Dynasty. According to the data obtained from the sonic detection, there are a large number of porcelain and embroidery works in the sunken ship. They are all of great antique and artistic value. However, the location of this sunken ship was found on the high seas, and it was discovered by a British ship, so the issue of ownership is extremely controversial.” “

Discovered on the high seas, it was the British ship again .

Shouldn’t the ship belong to the discoverer according to international conventions?”

Zhang Xiyue nodded and said, “That should be the case. However, the owner of that ship is Chinese, but his ship is registered in the United Kingdom, which caused controversy Dispute. The final result of the negotiation between the two parties was that the salvage rights would be auctioned and a third party would perform the salvage. The auction proceeds would go to the company to which the ship belonged.”

Shi Lei was a little confused. He didn’t know much about international conventions, let alone this. The complexity involved.

However, one thing is very clear. Since no salvage has been carried out on this sunken ship, the appraisal this time is not actually carried out on Hong Kong Island, but on the high seas where the sunken ship is located.

It is meaningless where the auction is held. This kind of auction does not see the physical objects at all, and all you get is the power to salvage.

Shi Lei shook his head and said, “Aren’t your organizations kidding me? I can’t see the sunken ship, how do you want me to identify it? You don’t think that I can identify the sunken ship just by looking at a piece of salvage rights contract. Is it true or false and the value of the items on board?”

Zhang Xiyue curled her lips and said: “I don’t know the specifics. I am only responsible for contact and communication. As for the specific situation and the method of identification, it will be decided by the organization’s Hong Kong Island team. The contact person will answer the question for Mr. Shi. Mr. Shi only needs to confirm with me a time to go to Hong Kong Island before the 7th of next month. My task is considered completed. As for whether Mr. Shi can contact Hong Kong Island after going to Hong Kong Island. That is his task. Each of us has a very clear division of labor. We will never be allowed to know further information. I only know so much.” It is

mysterious, but it is undeniable that this success This aroused Shi Lei’s interest.

He smiled and nodded, and said, “Well, you can’t force me to accomplish anything anyway. Well, for the sake of our cooperation many times, I promise you.”

Zhang Xiyue leaned forward slightly and bowed .

, said: “Thank you Mr. Shi, what time?”

Shi Lei thought for a while, after this quota cycle is over, he will have a chance to draw a lottery, because the contract between him and Sun Yiyi has finally been completed.

The lottery would often be of great help to what Shi Lei would do next. Shi Lei decided to arrange the time after the settlement day no matter what.

“The 4th or the 5th…let’s go with the 5th. There are still two days until the 7th, so we should be able to make it in time.” Shi Lei hesitated for a moment and determined the specific date.

“Okay, then I will ask the contact person on Hong Kong Island to contact Mr. Shi on the evening of the 4th of next month to determine a more detailed time. Generally speaking, we will send a vehicle to pick up Mr. Shi and then go directly to See you on Hong Kong Island.”

Shi Lei frowned and said: “We are just talking about how this appraisal will be conducted. Why do we have to go to Hong Kong Island? Can’t we do it in Bao’an? Only if I am sure that I promise you and am willing to help you with the appraisal, do I need to go to Hong Kong Island, right?” Zhang

Xiyue showed a slightly apologetic expression and said: “Bao’an is in charge of the Pearl River Delta liaison of our organization. If the person in charge of Hong Kong Island goes to Bao’an to contact Mr. Shi, it does not comply with the rules of our organization. Therefore, we can only Mr. Shi has made a trip. It will probably delay Mr. Shi for about six hours. For this, the organization will also provide corresponding compensation. For the specific situation, the Hong Kong Island contact person will make it clear to Mr. Shi on the evening of the 4th.”

Shi Lei thought for a while, nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Thank you, Mr. Shi.” After hearing this, Zhang Xiyue seemed to be relieved. She blinked and stopped talking.

“Is there anything else you want to say?” Shi Lei asked.

Zhang Xiyue thought for a moment and said, “If everything goes well this time, then after this task is completed, I can exit the Eye of the Night.” “

What does everything go well mean?”

Zhang Xiyue still seemed hesitant, but in the end he decided Said: “First of all, I must declare to Mr. Shi that I have no intention of using Titan’s factors to hope that Mr. Shi will help me complete this mission. Therefore, if Mr. Shi has such concerns, I will not say anything.”

” Let’s talk.”

“If Mr. Shi finally agrees to help us with the appraisal and completes this appraisal, and we finally successfully acquire the right to salvage the sunken ship, the entire mission will be deemed completed.”

I’d better write as much as I can, and I’m guaranteed to finish it in four chapters. If I have the spare time, I’ll write more.
