Chapter 474 My name is also Karl

In fact, when the other party raised the price by one million US dollars at one time, it was clearly telling everyone that this was his last offer.

Although Christie's is large in scale and has a relatively complete system, there are still some people who maliciously raise prices.

Generally, after hearing this kind of jumping bid, troublemakers will definitely not follow up with the bid unless the value of the auctioned product is higher than the bid.

Miranda would never believe that Tang Shuo didn't know this. Even if Tang Shuo really didn't know about this, he should have known when to quit.

Tang Shuo didn't answer Miranda's question. He chuckled softly and changed the subject, saying, "The conditions I promised you have already been put into action. You should also start preparing for my affairs."

"I'll take care of this matter, but I'll need your help." Miranda said solemnly, "But you must remember not to let Louise show up again, otherwise not only you but I might also suffer."

Tang Shuo glanced at Miranda's face, nodded, and said, "It seems like we're all on the same page now."

Miranda frowned, seemingly displeased with Tang Shuo's metaphor. Then, she stood up and said, "You should focus on your current tasks first, otherwise everything else will be meaningless."

"Don't worry."

Tang Shuo agreed, and when he saw Miranda was about to leave, he immediately said, "Bring the wine to me after you pay. I've never tasted wine worth tens of millions of dollars."

Miranda stumbled and then quickly walked out of the box.

…

Seeing the target person come out, Mason, who was squatting on the ground tying his shoelaces, immediately stood up and walked towards the elevator.

Mason wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and an expensive handmade suit. His already sturdy figure made the suit bulge out, making him look very stylish.

Compared to his previous appearance, Mason had undergone a complete transformation. Even if Pent saw Mason at this moment, he probably wouldn't dare to approach and ask.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, a middle-aged man walked quickly to the elevator and stopped it.

Then, the old man in simple clothes stepped into the elevator.

Mason bowed apologetically, then took a step back to make room.

The simple old man also nodded slightly and thanked Mason.

bite……

After the elevator door closed, Mason suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Todd Lawrence?"

As soon as Mason finished asking, the man who entered the elevator took a step forward unnoticed, staring at Mason with his sharp eyes.

As soon as his eyes met, Mason felt his scalp tingle. His body tensed up. He had experienced this feeling before, when Monkey came back from searching for Tang Shuo.

But his feeling was not obvious at that time, and he thought it was because the other party did not target him.

Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long. The simple old man turned his head, looked at Mason and said, "Do you know me?"

"No."

Mason looked away, shook his head, and said according to the prearranged lines: "I know your son Carl, so I have seen your photo."

After a pause, Mason said very seriously, "It's a pity that something like that happened."

"Um."

The simple old man Todd responded and turned his head away, obviously not wanting to continue communicating with Mason.

Mason didn't seem to notice this, and then said aloud: "I met him before Carl's accident, and we talked about a lot of things."

"oh?"

Todd was intrigued by Mason's words. He turned around and looked at Mason and asked, "What did he say?"

Mason pondered for a moment and replied, "He said he was negotiating with a Chinese person about the acquisition of a luxury brand. It seemed that something unpleasant had happened between the two parties, and then Karl said that the other party wanted to harm him."

"Who are you?"

Although Todd was very interested in the topic Mason talked about, he did not ask any further questions, but instead inquired about his identity.

He rarely visited the British Empire. Carl, on the other hand, preferred to come here. Although his decision to attend the auction was a spur-of-the-moment decision, many people knew about it in advance.

This man who suddenly appeared was really weird, which made people think a lot.

"My name is Carl too, but with a different last name. I'm an appraiser at Christie's," Mason replied.

"How did you and Carl know each other?" Todd continued to ask.

"We met while gambling at the Ambassador Casino, and we felt like we were destined to be together..."

bite……

Just as Mason was about to continue speaking, the elevator door opened.

Todd pointed to the arranged car and said to Mason, "Let's go for a drink together. I want to continue talking to you about what happened just now."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Todd." Mason shook his head and refused. "I have something else to deal with now. Can we wait until another day?"

Todd frowned, then nodded and said, "Okay, you can contact me anytime tomorrow."

After saying that, he winked at the middle-aged man, who immediately took out a business card and handed it to him.

"Thanks."

Mason took the business card, turned around and walked directly towards a Volvo car that looked quite old.

As they drove out of the parking lot, Mason began to pant and his hands, which were gripping the steering wheel, began to tremble. It was at this time that Mason realized that his suit underneath his coat was completely soaked with sweat.

Mason knew very well that if he had said something wrong or revealed something, he would have been a corpse by now.

Fortunately, he completed Tang Shuo's task. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Mason thought of his meeting with the other party tomorrow and unconsciously became nervous again.

…

The hotel's presidential suite.

Todd was lying on the recliner in the living room, a cigar in his hand.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned.

The middle-aged man who had been following him opened the door, walked over to Todd and said, "The matter has been investigated clearly. The person in box four during the day was Miranda."

"The person we met in the elevator was indeed an appraiser from Christie's. He was in a hurry to meet a client today as arranged by the company." The middle-aged man paused, then continued, "As for the truth of what he said, we can't verify it yet."

"Um."

Todd responded and said, "If he calls tomorrow, arrange for him to come over. If he doesn't call, bring him over later."

"Yes." The middle-aged man agreed, then immediately turned around and left the box.

…

Song Wenchang looked at Zhang Jingxin in front of him and said with a smile, "Have you figured it out?"

"Um."

Zhang Jingxin said with a gloomy expression, "How can you guarantee that you won't kick me away after you get Tang Yun?"

"I believe you're a smart person," Song Wenchang said. "As long as you can prove your worth, why would I kick you out?"

"What do you want to know?" Zhang Jingxin was silent for a moment before saying, "My position has been removed, so I can't understand any of this."

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Yang Chen." Song Wenchang asked.

"To use his words, you have to find the right time," Zhang Jingxin said, "otherwise, you'll be discovered."

"What else do you know?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Jingxin asked.

"all!"

Zhang Jingxin closed his eyes for a long moment before speaking, "There seems to be something wrong with the Burberry contract Tang Shuo obtained. According to the accounts, Burberry almost gave the authorization for free. As for the specific terms of the contract, I'm not clear."

Song Wenchang then asked, "What else?"

"He has a woman who lives on the British mainland and a mixed-race child in his family." Zhang Jingxin continued, "They are members of the royal family!"

Song Wenchang was stunned for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "What did you say?"

"They are members of the royal family!" Zhang Jingxin repeated.
