Chapter 607: The Fish Takes the Bait
In October, the sky in New York was drizzling with light rain, and the weather suddenly changed from a sunny day in late autumn to a little chill.
Alvin, a liar who has lived in New York for almost half a year, drove his father-in-law, mother-in-law and their children with his wife Hilde early in the morning, and got on the plane back to Switzerland.
The two returned to the car in a bad mood, and Hilde looked at Ivan with a gloomy face and said, "The money we have earned in the past few years, plus the Swiss ski resort, is enough to retire safely up.
After this task is completed, do you have to talk to the Lord? "
"I don't want to lie to you, my dear." Aiwen shook his head helplessly, "I'm only in my 30s. Even if I live a retired life, I will definitely go crazy."
After speaking, Aiwen looked at Hilde with a anxious face, but in the end he didn't refute, and immediately knew that she actually had an adventurous gene in her heart.
Grabbing his wife's hand, he said with a smile, "The tasks given to me by the boss are all within our capabilities.
And he told me several times in person that if there is danger, he can give up the mission and save his own first.
This kind of boss who is not life-threatening and generous with money is hard to find. "
Hilde thought about this mission for a while, and finally shook her head helplessly, but a smile appeared on her face after a while.
"Let's go, go back to the gallery, the desert prince who can't even support 4 wives will arrive tomorrow.
I want to take another look at the oil painting that was sold to the lord, in case there is a real problem, we are engaged in the art company business, and we have to close down before half a year. "
"No problem," Ivan smiled and started the car, and took his wife back to the gallery.
And this gallery has no problems with the formalities and operation, but it is actually a cover for Li Chang Henry to use oil paintings to avoid taxes.
Three hours later, the prince whose wife they both mentioned could barely support him took a small private jet and landed at the airport.
He took a long Cadillac car, went to the Waffle Hotel to wash and rest for an afternoon, and then took two bodyguards to a Michelin three-star restaurant in New York.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, the lobby manager in a suit greeted him with a smile.
The two exchanged a few words. The prince in a desert robe could not speak English, but as soon as he said 'Lord Selby', the manager immediately became respectful.
The next day, Li Changheng met a Middle Easterner in New York, which spread among the upper echelons of New York and the media.
At ten o'clock in the morning, under the escort of bodyguards, Prince Judd came to the gallery opened by the liar Ivan.
Under the watchful eyes of several ladies who obviously had spare money and middle-aged white men, Prince Judd and Hilde, who was wearing a burgundy lady's suit, spoke in Arabic for a while.
In the end, the prince took a fancy to a Louis Aston's "Country Spring Landscape Painting", and the price of 970,000 US dollars made several people who inquired about the price immediately regard the Middle Easterner as a big local tyrant.
Not to mention the way the other party paid, the bodyguard actually asked the bodyguard to open the black leather box that he had been carrying all the time, and after taking away 3 stacks, the entire box was placed directly in front of Hilde.
Hilde was a little at a loss and hurriedly carried the box, stuttering and leading the prince to the office.
Fortunately, within two minutes, someone saw Ivan carrying a suitcase and walking quickly to the opposite bank.
This made a middle-aged man who had a special thought in his heart refocus his mind on Judd's identity with a sigh of regret.
A week later, without the middle-aged man guessing, Judd was in the paper.
The reason is that the prince not only appeared at the Hollington Racecourse in New York to watch the four-star equestrian competition in the United States.
He also talked with Li Changheng who accompanied Annie to participate in the equestrian jumping competition for several minutes in the auditorium.
This made the reporters who were so excited by the appearance of Li Changheng and Annie earlier in the morning pick up their cameras and take pictures of them.
This summer, Li Changheng and Annie have been sponsoring for 3 years, and even brought people to the England kayaking, archery and equestrian Olympic teams in New York for training.
After winning 2 golds and 1 bronze, Anne immediately became the image spokesperson of England equestrian.
Even if she didn't want to, the chairman of the Olympic Council would press Anne on her head.
However, equestrian, which has always been regarded as a strong sport, only won the bronze medal in the end, which made Annie very dissatisfied.
But Li Changheng wished that she had a goal to spend a lot of time besides helping with the business and the manor.
Take her to Holland, Belgium and Germany to choose suitable warmblood horses.
In the end, they spent more than two million yuan, not only buying three 4-year-old Hanoverian horses that had undergone rigorous training, but also helping Anne form a professional team of seven.
As for why not to choose English thoroughbreds, the reason is very simple. Dressage and jumping competitions, warm-blooded horses are fine, but they are not as good as warm-blooded horses in obeying orders.
Although Annie only finished 6th in this competition, because of the appearance of him and Annie, the unpopular jumping event appeared in most of the media in the United States and England the next day.
Moreover, after Annie participated in the competition, someone hinted that Li Changheng would have better luck if Annie and him could participate in the equestrian competition held in Florida in December.
Such an obvious hint, not to mention Li Changheng, even Annie could hear it right away.
It is obvious that cheating is definitely impossible, but it is not easy to influence the riders. There are still many ways to think of horses and referees.
As for the reason, it is nothing more than wanting to use Li Changheng and Annie to face the super star couple, so as to expand the popularity of the equestrian event.
As for why not go to Munich to visit the Summer Olympics, Li Changheng got the assessment of the security of this year's Olympics by the Expendables and Knight Shield one week before his departure.
It quickly occurred to me that going to the Olympics is never a good thing.
I don't know what the people in West Germany thought. The security loopholes were so big that people brought submachine guns and grenades into the Munich Olympic Village.
Knowing the danger, Li Changheng would not let himself and Annie take risks.
After Judd was featured in the newspaper because of Li Changheng, he became the focus of some tabloids within a few days.
And he did not disappoint the reporters, not only appearing in art auctions every three days, but also often appearing in basketball and rugby matches.
He even went to Las Vegas, stayed in a casino hotel for a week, and often lost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This makes it impossible for Americans not to notice him.
Ivan and Hilder closed the door and left the gallery that day. Before getting in the car, they saw a car parked in front of their car, and then a middle-aged man in a suit and glasses got out of the car and greeted him.
"Long time no see, Ivan."
