Chapter 103 Private Product Exchange Meeting
The special thing about the private product exchange event at Hessen Bar is that the identities of the participants are not publicly introduced.
If you want to know someone or want to know the owner of an item, you can ask them privately.
After all, everyone who is invited to participate is endorsed by the members.
Like Yan Jiuru, he was brought in by Martin KLB, and the one who endorsed him was Martin himself and the family behind him.
If he did something wrong or was targeted, Martin would have to step in and help him.
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario.
People like Martin naturally don't bring everyone in.
Some people have been friends for several years and are still just friends who only have a drink together, while some people, even if they have only met a few times in just half a month, have already determined that the other person is someone worthy of in-depth communication and trust.
He is very optimistic about Yan Jiuru, a young man from this ancient country.
At the same time, his family also tacitly approved of his relationship.
It can be said that on the first day the members of the purchasing team appeared in front of them, everyone's personal information was placed on the desk of the relevant person.
In the ancient Xuan Kingdom, as the first batch of Yan University students after many years, the couple’s grades were far ahead.
He taught himself English and German, and is said to be proficient in other minor languages, but this has not been confirmed.
Talented, resourceful, and generous.
According to the news in the past few days, this person lives in a big house in Yancheng. He is the eldest son and grandson of the family. Four generations live under one roof. He is the backbone of the family.
The Western Kingdom is also a country that values the eldest son, and the heirs of the family are all from the direct line. Therefore, their understanding is that Yan Jiuru must have inherited a rich family fortune in private, but due to the situation in the Xuan Kingdom, he had to pretend to be penniless.
Now that I'm abroad, my true nature comes out and I'm busy shopping.
In fact, even if Yan Jiuru didn't make an appointment with Martin today, Martin would still make an appointment with him before he returned home.
This is all off topic.
***
After the bar manager introduced the rules, seeing that the newcomers understood, he did not delay and announced the start of the party.
The first box opened was a limited edition cigar.
Yan Jiuru has no knowledge of this.
Martin whispered in his ear that this thing was from Cuba.
Cuba, like Xuan Country, is also a socialist country. It is influenced by political factors and there are many restrictions on purchasing top-quality Cuban cigars in the West.
"These cigarettes are specially supplied. You either have to be a diplomat or have a quota. In short, if you have money but no identity, you can't buy them."
Yan Jiuru watched as several people gathered around the box of cigars, discussing their merits. There were only five cigarettes in a box, and the normal selling price was 20 marks each, but because of its scarcity, there were only 500 limited edition boxes, and the price of these cigarettes had been privately speculated to 20 to 30 times the original price.
Martin didn't move either.
In the end, these five limited edition cigars were bought by a banker for 500 marks each.
Both parties are very satisfied.
This little thing is obviously just an appetizer at the exchange meeting.
Martin whispered, "These bankers love to use cigars to show off. Even if they only have a few pfennigs left in their pockets, as long as they have a Cohiba cigar between their fingers, they will still brag like they have a mountain of gold at home."
Yan Jiuru's heart moved, and he nodded calmly, agreeing: "It seems that you need to be thick-skinned to do business."
"That's what happened, haha."
***
The second box contained a pair of cuffs from a personal collection.
Also an appetizer.
The real bosses won’t even look at these things.
The moment the box was opened, Yan Jiuru raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.
This is a pair of semi-antique cufflinks.
It is said that it is made of meteorite material, combined with platinum and enamel craftsmanship. It is black, shiny and glossy, and has a low-key luxury feel.
This pair of cufflinks is not rare, and you can still buy better ones for a little more money.
So, no one spoke for a while.
Yan Jiuru felt that there was an unusual energy contained in it, as well as a flash of black glare.
He gently nudged Martin and whispered, "How about this?"
The other party's conditions are that they can exchange things or give an appraisal.
Martin was a little surprised.
However, he nodded in agreement. This kind of small item is not that expensive and is very suitable for newcomers.
He quickly glanced at Yan Jiuru's suit cuffs and said, "This pair of cufflinks is quite good, but 1200 marks is a bit expensive."
Seeing that Yan Jiuru was indeed interested, he accompanied him to bargain with the other party in a polite manner.
Yan Jiuru saw it for the first time.
You can actually bargain in a soft voice and with a faint smile, but the forty-meter-long sword will fall down mercilessly.
In the end, Yan Jiuru paid 700 marks to buy the pair of cufflinks.
700 marks is considered very cheap here, but considering the income level in China, this pair of cufflinks is also a sky-high price.
***
The next few things did not arouse Yan Jiuru's interest.
Until a long box opened, revealing a shiny, cold hand and a gun with a silencer!
The legendary silent gun!
There is no man who doesn't love guns.
The HK P-11, the first batch consisted of only a few hundred units, and was only distributed to the country's Sea Frog Special Forces and the US Navy SEALs, etc.
Not to mention the patented core technology, its performance is also rare and can be used underwater.
At this moment, this guy is appearing in front of me coldly, which is really exciting.
Not only Yan Jiuru was moved, everyone present stood up and moved over.
Martin glanced at the somewhat excited Yan Jiuru and asked, "Why? Are you interested in this too?"
Yan Jiuru rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "As long as you're not a woman, I'm interested in you!"
"Don't say that, man. Be careful or they might eat you." Martin reminded him with a smile.
***
The ammunition and ammunition systems of the HK P-11 silent, pistol and handgun must be purchased separately. This gun is pre-installed with five sealed launch tubes, including arrow-shaped bullets and electric shock devices.
There are very few second-hand ones on the black market, let alone a brand new one like this one.
The total price of the gun, bullets, etc. is 33,000 marks!
This is equivalent to ten years' income for most middle-class families in the West.
But this thing is not aimed at middle-class families.
For the rich and powerful, tens of thousands of marks would be a bit painful, but they could still take it out.
Yan Jiuru looked at five or six people fighting for the gun and could only sigh.
Martin is also one of the contenders.
However, the other party stated that they would give priority to exchanging information, which is the golden clue of the bank robbery case half a month ago!
Yan Jiuru and Martin looked at each other and understood that this was a clue from the police or the bank.
It seems that those who planned to solve the problem with money have failed.
However, there are still two people who are determining the terms of exchange with each other. After all, information becomes invalid once it is read, and the rights of the person who provides the information are difficult to guarantee.
Seeing his new friend sigh with regret, Martin suddenly had an idea and said, "Heisen Bar has some unsold collections from previous exchanges stored here. Are you interested in taking a look? What if there's something you like?"
The rule of the Hesse trade fair is that if an item does not produce a result, it will not be carried over to the next one.
Even if nothing is traded in the end, at least wait for the holder to speak out.
It seems that we still have to spend some time here, so Yan Jiuru and several others went to visit Heisen's collection room.
There are treasure chests covering three whole walls, and under each collection is a page of instructions, which gives an introduction to the collection, followed by the owner's valuation or a description of the item to be exchanged.
Yan Jiuru took a quick look and saw expensive jewelry, antiques, simulation models, calligraphy and paintings, handicrafts, firearms, etc. There was more than one real gun.
Yan Jiuru pointed at several antiques that clearly had Xuanguo characteristics and asked, "Where did you steal these from us?"
"Ahem," Martin covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying, "You can also take it back!"
Yan Jiuru squinted at him and asked, "If I rob it, won't you be implicated?"
Martin laughed awkwardly and said, "That's just what I said, hehe."
Yan Jiuru's gaze passed over the guns, paused for a moment, and then fell on two special models.
One is a scaled-down model of a simulated aircraft carrier, more than two meters long, quietly placed in the bottom grid.
He leaned in to look at it carefully. It was a high-replica model of the aircraft carrier that had not been completed when the Western country was defeated. It was said that the degree of restoration was quite high.
However, due to restrictions of arms control treaties, Western countries cannot develop high-end weapons, and this model is just a remembrance of the powerful military in the past.
This model is not a unique or rare piece, but due to its high degree of simulation and some detachable accessories, the trading conditions are also quite high.
"Exchange for a meteorite of no less than one kilogram!"
Meteorite, Yan Jiuru sighed, he wanted this thing too.
In addition, there is a highly realistic model of a fighter jet, which is also not a unique piece, but its various parts can be disassembled and assembled.
Transaction conditions: One rare aquamarine, must be Santa Maria color grade, flawless, and no less than three carats.
This condition is a bit useless, no wonder it has not been exchanged yet.
Aquamarines that reach Santa Maria grade are now very collectible. Aquamarines over 5 carats are rare, their collectible value is stable, and the estimated price increases every year. Even three or four carats are very valuable in the market. Who would change a broken model?!
Martin asked him, "You really don't want to change something?"
Yan Jiuru looked at it blankly and spread his hands: "I don't have any meteorites, nor do I have any aquamarine, and they don't want Mark..."
Even if he wants to change it, he can't.
I followed it around and just wanted to broaden my horizons.
Under Martin's thoughtful gaze, the two followed the crowd back to the trade fair.
***
The item on the table has been replaced with a limited edition sports car, and of course, only the car keys are on display.
The owner of the car said that the trident logo was just launched this year and the interior was customized and ordered for his beloved, but now the old one has been replaced by the new one, and the car also needs to be replaced.
Even if the sports car is not driven for a day, its value will be immediately depreciated.
Simple and straightforward, 20% off, 40,000 marks became 32,000 marks!
Still can’t afford it!
Although he couldn't afford it, Yan Jiuru still followed everyone to take a closer look at the car, especially the V8 engine and its various structures.
Martin also studied automotive engineering, and the two discussed the technology of the two cars.
Finally, he waved goodbye to Martin with a box containing a pair of small cufflinks.
***
What he didn't know was that after he left, Martin immediately went to another room.
There were three people sitting in the room at this time, one of whom was obviously the person who wanted to exchange information about the stolen gold.
"How is it? Does this Yan have a chance?"
Martin shook his head. "Yan's family should be well-off, not one of those poor people who are short of money. He has no fluctuations even with tens of thousands of marks. I guess he can't be bought with ordinary money.
Of course, you might give it a try while you still have your gold mountain, haha."
The intelligence agency had originally targeted Yan Jiuru, who spent money lavishly, but they didn't expect that there would be a time when they didn't have enough money.
It was also bad luck that more than ten tons of gold were stolen at once. The higher-ups might have taken advantage of the situation to block their funding, so their operating funds became a bit tight.
***
On this side, Yan Jiuru returned to the hotel.
Captain Lin and others have not gone to bed yet.
He knocked on the door, said hello, and went back to take a shower and go to bed.
There are bugs in the hotel rooms, so you can't say anything.
Have a good night's sleep.
But I never expected it.
The next morning, they heard even more shocking news in the restaurant: the reserve vault of the Bank of the United States in the Frankfurt financial center was stolen, and more than 50 tons of gold were gone!
