Evan's eyes lit up. "Then can you cut my hair too? I think you cut it really well."
After he finished speaking, no one answered him for a long time; instead, it seemed as if everyone was trying hard to suppress their laughter.
Team Leader Qin glared at them fiercely, thinking that they would all lose face together, and readily agreed.
They chose a barber whose skills were decent and asked him to cut Evan's hair.
The haircut was finished quickly, and Evan looked at himself in a small mirror, quite satisfied.
Evan is not bad looking, but as he is middle-aged, his skin is a bit loose and he has wrinkles on his face.
Foreigners age quickly; standing next to Captain Qin and his group, they look like they're from two different generations.
However, Evan said that he was a handsome young man when he was young, and a girl from Chengdu pursued him back then.
Foreigners have many handsome men, but their good looks last a short time; a handsome young man can turn into a burly, unattractive man in the blink of an eye.
Liu Xiaonuan's fantasy about handsome men shattered instantly.
"It's just speechless to think about those handsome young men on the street who will soon turn into burly men with full beards."
Liu Xiaonuan and Lin Chuchu whispered to each other, after all, everyone appreciates beautiful things.
Just as men admire beautiful women, women will also take a second look at handsome men passing by.
This applies to Lin Chuchu as well; it's a form of appreciation, without any other implications.
The main reason Ivan came this time was to tell them that this batch of cultural relics might arrive a little later.
Now, the soldiers checking vehicles on the streets are going crazy; they'll stop any vehicle that's even slightly large.
The people above were there to intercept copper mines, while the people below were there to earn some extra money.
Any money, watches, jewelry, or other valuables that can be found on a person will be confiscated.
Team Qin and his team aren't in a hurry; they can make the deal anytime.
"By the way, I brought back a batch of cultural relics from Russia. News of the cultural relics in the United States has also reached Russia. I heard that they are currently handling the cultural relics in a unified manner."
The United States, with the mindset that if its own country is in trouble, other countries shouldn't be able to either, has stopped restricting the export of cultural relics, leaving other countries feeling insecure.
I'm afraid that something good will turn out to be fake when I get my hands on it.
"I heard that a collector bought some cultural relics, but lost all of them, which drove him to suicide."
"What were they thinking, spending so much money to buy cultural relics? Are they out of their minds?"
Evan muttered curses under his breath. He also dealt in antiques, but he always bought low and sold high, mostly to reliable people.
Because he buys in large quantities, he can make a profit from it.
Although it wasn't much, he was very satisfied.
Team Leader Qin remained noncommittal, because it was all their fault; it was because of what they did that cultural relics were now so cheap.
He felt no guilt whatsoever, because the root cause of all this was the plundering and extortion by their ancestors.
The other party was merely atoning for the sins of their ancestors.
Half a month passed quickly, and the heavily armed soldiers no longer appeared on the streets.
It seems that the authorities have also given up on finding copper mines.
The other party hasn't shown up for so long, they must be hiding very well.
It would be better to relax for a while and wait for the other party to show their true colors before wiping them out in one fell swoop.
It was at this time that Evan had those cultural relics delivered.
The number of cultural relics this time is also very large, almost the same as last time.
Lin Chuchu and the others got busy again.
Most of the artifacts in this batch are not very valuable, but there are a few exquisite pieces.
Seeing that everyone wasn't too satisfied, Evan said, "Don't worry, this batch isn't very good, but there will be a lot of good stuff in the next batch."
Since that's what they said, Team Leader Qin will believe it for now.
You can't disbelieve it, they're still relying on Evan to bring back cultural relics.
After several busy days, all the cultural relics have been inventoried.
This time, Team Leader Qin paid for all the goods in cash.
"Why didn't you use any jewelry this time?" Evan asked curiously.
“The last time we came back to our family, they were very satisfied with what we brought back, so they prepared some money for us again.”
If you have enough money, you naturally won't use jewelry as a substitute.
This money can only be used in the United States. Sooner or later, they will leave, and once they reach other countries, this money will become worthless.
But those jewels are different; they can be exchanged for money anywhere, they're hard currency.
Evan had always believed that Qin's family was from China, but he never expected that China would be so supportive of their actions.
It felt like an underground rendezvous.
Evan said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring back more things for you, and I will definitely satisfy the family behind you."
Team Leader Qin nodded. Ever since they met, Evan had shown great goodwill towards everyone.
He was certain that the other party had already guessed their identities, and since they were still helping them like this, it was a huge help to China.
After returning, he would report to the higher-ups that if the other party encountered difficulties at some point in the future, China would repay Evan.
China will never forget everyone who has helped it. Even if China cannot repay them now, it will repay them in the future, through its descendants.
For the next period of time, although it often snowed heavily outside, everyone was still busy.
Instead, they started buying things within the Eagle's territory, from small items like books and clothing to large items like machinery.
However, those were all discarded by local factories.
They wanted to buy some better ones but couldn't because the sellers wouldn't sell to them once they saw they were Asian.
No matter how much Qin offered, the other party wouldn't sell.
It's not that they don't want to sell, but it's illegal. If their superiors find out they're selling machinery to other countries, they'll be shot.
This was something that someone who had been bothered by Captain Qin later told him secretly.
“Even if you don’t buy it, you can’t ship it back, and once you’re caught, you’ll be imprisoned forever, and even we won’t have a good time.”
"Don't pressure us, we really have no way to sell you anything."
What the other party said was true. There is a phenomenon in the United States: once a factory goes bankrupt, if no one buys those machines, they would rather let them rot than sell them to other countries.
It's not that no one has ever sold them secretly before, but the people were arrested before the machines could even be shipped out of the country.
It's one thing if only he gets into trouble, but the main problem is that it affects his family, and they might die along with him.
After that, no one dared to do it again.
He didn't see the gleam in Qin's eyes when he said this.
They can't buy them anymore, but they can steal them.
In recent years, the economy here has been sluggish, leading to the closure of many companies and factories, as well as numerous abandoned buildings. These buildings must contain some obsolete equipment.
For the United States, those things are waste, but for China, they can help China progress.
