Chapter 433 International Thief
Hu Xiaoxiao reaped a lot of rewards, not only a lot of gifts, but also a lot of jewelry she bought for herself.
Hu Xiaoxiao desperately wanted to keep shopping, but after visiting several showrooms, she felt poor. Too poor. She had thought all the money she'd earned over the years had made her wealthy, but she realized her savings couldn't even cover the jewelry in a showroom. She was so broke she wanted to take on dozens more films.
Arriving at a pearl exhibition hall, Hu Xiaoxiao was amazed by the rich variety of pearls. The large white pearls were the largest she had ever seen, along with black and gold pearls. They were made into necklaces, bracelets, brooches, earrings, and even a pearl jewelry bag made entirely of flawless pearls.
The piece of pearl jewelry that caught Hu Xiaoxiao's attention was a snail bead diamond necklace. The entire necklace was inlaid with diamonds, and the pendant was made of eighteen pink snail beads of similar shape and size, with Paraiba gemstones inlaid in the middle.
The precious Paraiba gemstone is also worth a fortune as a single piece, but in this necklace, it only serves as an embellishment to the spiral beads. The diamonds, which sparkle with extraordinary brilliance, only serve as a background.
Each pink snail bead is round and plump, with a unique flame pattern, emitting a soft pink glow under the light. Dotted with Paraiba gemstones as beautiful as lake water, the blue and pink combination seems to evoke the mystery and wonder of the ocean.
Hu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and bought it!
Then they went to the jade exhibition hall and saw the beautiful jade that was so green that it looked like it was oozing with oil. When they looked at the price, Hu Xiaoxiao admitted for the first time that she was poor and had no money to pay for it.
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't buy many items in this exhibition hall, but her credit card was maxed out. In the exhibition halls behind, she could only browse without buying anything.
On the first day of the Baogang International Jewelry Fair, sales broke records, causing a stir in the international jewelry industry. On the second day, sales showed no sign of slowing down.
The third day is the highlight of the jewelry exhibition.
The third day is the jewelry show of the International Jewelry Exhibition, which is also the most eye-catching project of the jewelry exhibition. In order to make their company famous and increase exposure, jewelers will bring out their most representative works for display.
To establish its brand, expand its presence in Hong Kong, and expand into overseas markets, Quanfu Jewelry is showcasing a piece of jewelry valued at 300 million yuan. To further enhance the jewelry's value, they have invited Hu Xiaoxiao, Hong Kong's most popular actress and a major Asian influencer, to wear the piece.
Quanfu Jewelry was so generous that other jewelers did not want to be outdone, so they all brought out rare jewelry for display.
The jewelers' secret rivalry has resulted in increased pressure on security personnel.
"During jewelry shows, there are always the most models and staff backstage, as well as the most customers watching from the front of the stage. With so many people, there's a lot of chaos, which gives thieves an opportunity to take advantage." The police officer in charge of security suggested to Steven, "Sir Wang, our main defense should be during the jewelry show. Especially at the end of the show, when the jewelry companies collect the jewelry and the handover process is easy to be exploited, we need to deploy more personnel to keep a close watch."
Before Steven, who was sitting at the head of the table, could speak, another officer said, "If we send too many people in, with more police than staff, it will cause panic among the jewelers. This is especially true for international jewelers visiting Hong Kong, as they already have doubts about the security at Treasure Harbor."
"Why not replace the exhibition staff with our guys?" someone suggested.
In response to today's situation, Steven, after confirming the date for the International Jewelry Show, dispatched several teams to the Convention Center to familiarize themselves with the show's operations. Following the suggestions of several colleagues, he said, "Transfer the guys familiar with the exhibition to the jewelry show. The rest of the team needs to be vigilant. While there are international thieves targeting the jewelry show, there's no telling how many more people are trying to take advantage of the situation. Don't focus on the jewelry show while something unexpected happens here."
"Don't worry, Sir Wang, our squad members are very conspicuous."
Steven called the team leaders in charge of each exhibition area to hold a small meeting to ensure that the last day of the jewelry exhibition was completed smoothly.
After the meeting, Steven went over several security plans again, carefully considering whether there were any omissions.
While they were discussing security here, several international thieves had already arrived at Baogang and were also discussing the jewelry show.
"Yesterday I went to a jewelry exhibition. The security was airtight. If we want to successfully obtain that piece of jewelry tomorrow, it will be very difficult." Jack, with brown hair and blue eyes, has a gentlemanly demeanor. No one can tell from his temperament that he is an internationally famous thief.
Jack was also skilled in disguise and makeup, and the photo of him on the international wanted list was very different from his real appearance. Therefore, he had been in Baogang for several days without being discovered by anyone.
Sitting next to him was a man with a dark complexion, a prominent nose, and Middle Eastern features. His name was Hussein. He had entered the jewelry exhibition not through the guest entrance, but through the employee entrance. Using his connections, he had infiltrated the staff of a Middle Eastern jeweler and spent two days at the exhibition observing without attracting any attention.
Hussein asked the Asian man across from him, "Lee, can you get into the jewelry show?"
Li Liao, who looked like someone from Baogang, was the first of the three to infiltrate Baogang, arriving at the end of last year. Taking advantage of the fact that some people in Baogang admired Europeans and Americans, he used his European and American identity to successfully infiltrate the circle of the third generation of wealthy people and won the heart of a wealthy daughter.
Li Liao used the rich girl's money to enter the jewelry exhibition and will participate in tomorrow's jewelry show.
"I have no problem. I can cooperate with you at any time." Lilio said.
Jack and Hussein agreed that the best opportunity to take action was during the jewelry show. They just needed to create some chaos and they would find an opportunity to seize the jewelry.
However, Li Liao had a different idea: "What you can think of, I'm sure Baogang Sir can think of too. Why don't we do the opposite?"
Jack and Hussein looked at Lilio and asked him to continue.
Li Liao said: "When the jeweler's escorts deliver the jewelry to the jewelry show venue, they will hand over the jewelry to the jewelry models. I think the best time is before the models go on the runway."
Li Liao also revealed a secret information, "According to my informant, one of the security guards in charge of escorting the jewelry at Quanfu Jewelry's transport company has been bribed. They plan to take action when the jewelry is taken out of the safe and given to the model. There's an old Chinese saying, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.' Why don't we be the oriole?"
