Chapter 1447 British Museum

"Mr. Palermo, thank you very much for being able to think of us at this time, but is your number smaller? This number is still divided by the three of us. It doesn't seem to be enough, right?" A full face All the guys from Mao said dissatisfied that the relationship between their group and Palermo is not very good, but this guy often has a lot of good things, this time it is because this guy has emphasized many times before coming here. Yes, otherwise they would not come here. After all, this place does not mean anything to their large jewelry companies. Their main suppliers are all in South Africa, and they have been producing over there. The diamonds are much better than the ones here, but I didn’t expect to give them such a big surprise this time. There is no problem with the 600 million US dollars of goods. Palermo is not a fool, naturally. They saw what was going on in their eyes, so they immediately added a price of 100 million U.S. dollars. This time he made more. He really lamented that he had been in vain all his previous days. Why didn’t he meet Li Cong long ago? What about this guy, if I met him early, maybe he would have made a fortune long ago and would he still use this hotel here?

"Mr. Sharon, I can only take out so much at present, but in the near future I will have a large number of such first-class goods, but I need you to leave me a 30% deposit. , One week should be no problem. ┏_ ┓ Device: No ads, full text, more" Palermo said after thinking about it, even if he did this transaction, it would be up to 600 million US dollars. Where Li is still a small customer, he also sees that Mr. Li will not tell you any jealous affection. If you have money, you will be a guest. If you don’t have money, then don’t do business. Adding to the things you mortgaged from him, you can get one billion dollars worth of goods at most, which is not a big deal. Of course, it was not small for Palermo before, but now people The eyelids are much higher, and it is no longer the Palermo it used to be. Now the billion-dollar traders are not in the eye. They are now competing with companies like El Rosa, of course. The rising tide has raised one's own vision.

30% deposit?In the jewelry industry, there is a saying that there is a deposit, but there are not many. They looked at each other and then at the best diamond in their hands. If only one person came, they would definitely not pay a deposit. Yes, but now that the three of them are all here, it’s different. If they don’t pay the deposit, if the other two guys do, then this guy in Palermo will definitely give the two guys who paid the deposit, then in the future When you are selling, you may have problems of one kind or another, and your customers may all go to them.

"No problem, we will pay a deposit of 1 billion US dollars. Next time we hope to get 3 billion US dollars of goods. Mr. Palermo, you will always be our best friend of Kadia Diamonds. Next time you come to Europe, you can be sure I have to visit us." One of the guys said. At the beginning of having this guy, the other two people also paid a deposit of one billion dollars. Palermo was dumbfounded at this moment, 3.6 billion. The U.S. dollars went directly to his account. Before this guy was silly for ten minutes, he remembered what he should do. At this time, he had to order Li Cong. The three billion U.S. dollars of goods are no problem, as long as he can take them. I just staggered the time for the goods, one every two days, then I have enough funds to place an order for the next person. Of course, my own profit plus what Li obtained from there is an astonishing 17%. , If these three transactions are completed, Palermo’s net worth immediately rises from four to five billion US dollars to nearly two billion US dollars. This is only completed within a week. To be honest, Palermo is a bit Stupid, he is not a daydreamer, but now he feels really daydreaming, because everything is not so real.

Two weeks later, people in this city found that Palermo was obviously different from before. First, this guy’s car was changed. Before, it was just a Volkswagen Tiguan, but now that car has been given away. People, this guy is driving a very hot red se Ferrari, and the beauty in the car has been seen in magazines. He is the supermodel who is very beautiful in Paris. It is said that this nv person has a meal with others. It costs 100,000 Euros for meals, and now I am willing to become this guy's nv person.

Of course, this is not the most important change. The most important thing is that the time from Palermo to his lifeblood, which is the hotel, is getting shorter and shorter. This shows a problem, that is, this guy doesn’t care much about the deal. Now, a city is such a big one. Of course, you will guess at such a strange thing. Soon everyone will understand what happened. It turned out that this guy made it in a week, which may be the largest diamond sale in history. , This guy made more than one billion dollars, no wonder he spends so much money.

This was originally a place where diamonds were sold. Soon most of the diamond merchants here began to visit Palermo's house. Although they could manage diamonds worth tens of millions of dollars each year, their The number is huge, and there are many people who do not do this, but they have huge capital in their hands, and their power should not be underestimated. Now Palermo is doing things like Fatty Zhou doing it in Asia. The thing is basically the same, but the difference is that Zhou Fatty had Li Cong's support at the beginning, and now Palermo is relying on himself.

Two weeks later, a Raytheon’s 95 million U.S. dollar Si family aircraft arrived here. He is Mr. Palermo’s new car. Although many people have their own Si aircraft, most of them are helicopters. For airplanes, such a large airplane worth hundreds of millions of dollars is still very strange to them. It can be said that Palermo is ahead of the rich in this regard, because many people want to follow Palermo. The husband is in touch, so recently his restaurant business has become better. There are often some rich people who eat and drink here directly to please Palermo. Palermo will not dislike his own money and immediately. Ask the hotel to increase some fees by 30%, but these rich people don’t care whether a meal is 10,000 US dollars or 20,000 US dollars. What they care about is how they can get in touch with the new diamond king , That's the most important thing.

The reason why Li Cong pushed Palermo to the front desk is to let him replace himself and let all the light shine on this person. Although you have made a lot of money by relying on me, you have to bear this risk. Looking at Palermo now, he probably couldn’t guess Li Cong’s idea long ago, because the orders of billions of dollars have fooled this guy. The original share of 5 billion dollars was supposed to be sold for one year. It broke through 15 billion U.S. dollars in one month, which is really incredible, so this guy flew directly to Li Cong on his new plane. He would like to thank Li Cong.

The airport started construction on the day Li came back. Although some people from the central government came to see it, these people just didn’t say anything at the price of a red envelope of one hundred thousand dollars from Li. It seemed that they came here. It’s not an inspection, but a red envelope. This is the most important thing.Although the airport has only a rudimentary shape, it is not a problem to let Palermo's plane land.

"Welcome to Mr. Palermo." Li Congken told this guy to come here naturally to accept this guy. Although Fatty Zhou didn't feel very comfortable watching this guy get rich, he still wanted to follow him happily. The question mark is like an old friend who hasn't seen each other for many years.

"It's so grand. I was really flattered that Mr. Li came to pick me up at the airport himself." This guy's Chinese is getting better and better.

"Haha, Mr. Palermo is now the big gold owner of our group. You have helped us sell billions of dollars in diamonds in this month. If such a person can't work and I personally pick up the airport, what kind of The people of this place have such qualifications? It’s windy here. Mr. Palermo got in the car after he finished speaking. As for driving men for this guy, he certainly wouldn’t do it. We haven’t gotten it right yet. of.

Obviously, Palermo doesn’t account for this at the moment. He has an important thing to discuss with Li Cong this time. He knows that the Energy Group has contacts with some international mercenary groups. So this guy wants to hire a group of mercenaries to give Elrosa a little bit more. He has so much money now. Although he can't make Elrosa hurt, it's okay to make him hurt for a while.

"Mr. Li, this is a promissory note from Hua Xia Bank worth seven billion dollars. It is also the goods I need in the future. I hope to be able to come to me within ten days. I wonder if Mr. Li can do it for me?" This guy also brought it. He came with a big purchase order. Now his business is not the same as before. Among the seven billion dollars, there are his billion dollars. He thought that some small jewelers are asking for tens of millions. There should be a batch of goods in your own place, just give it to them, and you don't have to go through so many procedures with Li.

"Hehe, no problem, in fact, I am the happiest at this moment. Getting the order indicates that we are alive again." Li Cong said happily. He could see that this guy was not a special man to give him this one. The check, this guy has other ideas, but he wouldn't do things like letting himself send troops to fight Alrosa, even if you are useful to me now, I would never do it.

"Huh?? Mr. Li, this is the case. I have some money recently. I want to find some powerful mercenary organizations. Mr. Li also knows that I am a small businessman, and those mercenary organizations are basically me. I’m not familiar with it. I don’t know what Mr. Li recommends?" Li understood right away. To be honest, he really wanted to let his people get it, but in the end he was sensible and he couldn’t do that, otherwise. If I had a headache, I nodded, and Li Cong gave him a call and then went out. He knew that this guy had a satellite phone.

"Hello, this is South Africa eo company, what can I do for you?" When this guy dialed the phone, a message came across. They don't just call people casually, especially for such high-level people. Calls are generally only available to some major customers. South Africa is now a site controlled by the energy group, but this company has never been very obedient. Alrosa is not easy to provoke. Li Cong decided to let both of them consume it. Rosa's loss is great, and her diamond trading is just fine. If this eo loses a lot, then she will uproot them directly.

This Mr. Li is so reliable. Such a company could only be seen in the newspaper before. People can make a call by simply writing a phone number. He is not worried that Li Cong lied to him, because It was written on the phone that this is from South Africa, and it seems that my commission this time is worthwhile.

With sae) as a credit guarantee for Sai La Leon, the salary of eo is actually paid by Branch Energy, and when eo regains a diamond mine, Branch Energy can obtain 60% of its mining rights.Of course, this company is a subsidiary of the Energy Group, which is the first diamond mine that the Energy Group acquired in Africa decades ago.

The United Nations has always asked Sai La Leon to terminate his contract with EO.In 1997, the terms of the peace agreement signed between Sai La Leon and Ruf included the withdrawal of eo and all other foreign troops.Ironically, when eo withdrew, Ruf quickly fought back.For the group of South African mercenaries in the movie "Blood Diamond", some people say they are sheeo.In fact, the time background in this movie was in 1999, when Ruf had already attacked the suburbs of Sai La Leon's capital.

Yibin, the founder of eo?The staff of Barrow (b), the National Cooperation Agency is a racial oppression organization that specializes in opposing the African National University (anc). Its main activities include intelligence work and assassination operations.When South Africa abolished the apartheid policy in 1989, ANC leader Nelson?Mandela disbanded the unit carrying out the task of ethnic oppression.Facing unemployment, Barrow simply jumped out to start a business and set up an eo company. The employees are all former comrades and colleagues.

Some sources say that eo is the ancestor of modern pmc, and Barrow’s book also bluntly said that he pioneered modern pmc.But in fact eo was established in 1989, while mpri was established in 1987. The predecessor of the Armored Group Defense System Co., Ltd. (dsl) began operation in 1981. DSL is very active in Angola like eo.The Deyang Group has a longer history. Its predecessor was established in 1946. Although the aviation service company established at that time was only contracting the maintenance of combat aircraft for the US military, it was a serious "military contracting business."

eo can always win more with less, and with very few casualties, compared with the number of enemies killed by them is disproportionately high.This is because the soldiers of eo are well equipped. They have gunships, armored vehicles, howitzers, and big killers such as fuel-air bombs. Most of their enemies only have light weapons and not many heavy equipment; on the other hand, it is also because The soldiers of eo are veterans from South Africa and other countries. They are well-trained and have high military quality. Most of their opponents, such as Ruf, do not have enough training, just like the plot in the movie "Blood Diamond." There are quite a few children in the young man, sending out a rusty AK and a bunch of bullets. As soon as they learn to shoot, they are sent to the front line to deal with ordinary people or the same level of the Sai La Leon political and fu army. Well-equipped and well-trained mercenaries are too far behind.Once in a mine in Kono Province, only more than 60 eo soldiers withstood a week-long attack by thousands of ruf. During this period, eo soldiers always adhered to one principle: never enter a battle without helicopter fire support. area.

eo can attract many experienced foreign veterans. On the one hand, because of the high salary, it is not easy for veterans to find a good job-especially from special forces. They have no other skills that can make big money except for fighting. .On the other hand, it is also because of good benefits.Some articles including "World Military" mentioned EO's "full product guarantee". In fact, if there is a "work-related fatal accident" during the battle, if you dare not buy insurance for the following "temporary workers", it is estimated that there is no People are willing to sign contracts with them.

Although eo's base camp has always been in South Africa, since 1993, eo's head office has moved to the United Kingdom. This is mainly due to two reasons: first, London is an international weapon exchange center and defense exchange center; second , Which helps to get rid of South Africa’s ANC’s interference in their business.

South Africa’s government has always looked at eo not pleasing to the eye. This is because many of eo’s employees had previously opposed ANC. When South Africa signed the anti-mercenary international law in 1998, it forced eo to terminate its business.However, it is only apparent that eo is closed. Many former eo senior staff have established many similar enterprises in South Africa or other countries, including si battalion military companies and security companies.They also have a common leader, eo.

Since the 1990s, the eo company has been booming.In 1994, it dispatched a small, fast-deployed mercenary force with good air protection and armor. It quelled the crisis in Rwanda within a few days and easily earned tens of millions of dollars.Since the outbreak of Neiluan in 1991, the armed forces of Sai La Leon have been on a fierce offensive, and the political and military forces have retreated steadily.In desperation, Zhengfu signed a two-year contract with eo in 1995.eo sent 300 mercenaries to assist the political fu army in combat.Within a few months, the militants collapsed and they had to sign a peace agreement with the military.Of course, the eo company paid a lot of money. Not only did it make $10,000 a month, it also got the right to mine the diamond mine.Soon, Papua New Zealand came to the men again and asked eo to help it encircle and suppress the 9-year-old military forces.This time, the contract was interrupted due to a coup d’état in Pakistan, but eo still made a high profit of 36 million US dollars.In June 1998, the eo company again spread the "good news": its support for the government of Angola in the past two and a half years finally made the military forces agree to negotiate.Angola paid US$60 million for this, and the price paid by eo was only the death of a mercenary.

Palermo naturally doesn’t know what Li Cong thinks. It’s really interesting for this guy to think about Li Cong right now. He just said it out, and he gave himself such a result without asking anything. This result is absolutely what I want, even beyond my expectations.

"Sir? What can I do to help you?" This is the third time that I have asked this question. Their receptionists are all of good quality. Even if you don't speak during the day, they won't call you. Hang up, because any phone call may cost someone more than tens of millions of dollars. Such a thing must never happen.

"I want you to send an army to help me attack a warehouse with diamonds worth billions of dollars. You can take all those things. Even if you can't take them, you will destroy them. I don’t know you. Dare to pick it up? By the way, the warehouse I mentioned belongs to Elrosa." Palermo thought for a while and said, don't lie. For these hire companies, they want to verify whether their words are a lie or the truth. It's too simple. At that time, people may feel that they are not reliable. It is better to be honest.

"Okay, this is okay, I will give you one of our contact emails later, and then send us a copy of the address and the information you know according to our method? What I need to remind you is that you gave it The more detailed the information, the greater the chance of us completing the task. We will contact you again after we estimate the cost." The voice on the phone is very sweet, and for Palermo they express their meaning better. I thought that they were the same as the mercenary groups I knew before. Hearing Elrosa’s reputation, they were scared to find North. Unexpectedly, these people didn’t react directly after hearing Elrosa. , Don’t they know what Elrosa’s prestige is?

Palermo was still wondering when I hung up the phone. Damn, I didn't even give you a phone call. How do you contact me?

How could the people of Elrosa think that someone had begun to calculate them? In the last month, they just felt that the jewelers in the past were very fond of them, but now their attitude towards them seems to be the same It used to be different. In the past, if I called them and said that there were a lot of good goods here, they would wait to come over immediately. Now those people even let themselves pass a picture to them and it’s over. This It seems that it’s not their style. The reason for this must be that they have a new source of goods, but there seems to be no redundant diamond supplier in the world except for themselves and Asia Resources. Asia Resources supplies energy group jewelry stores and some in Asia. The diamond sellers can't bear it anymore, it is impossible to get over the border. Besides, all of the Yankees are regular customers here. Recently, they have not come. It's really evil. Not all the top executives of Elosa It’s a fool. I quickly guessed that Li Cong’s diamond mine started to shoot their customers, but I also thought of those European jewelers who had no contact with Li Cong. How did they get on the line? Lemo appeared in their eyes. This guy is a Russian, and he would help those Chinese people. Isn't this what it means to eat inside and out?

When Palermo was targeting them, Elrosa was also preparing to kill Palermo. They thought that the loss of the billions of dollars of business must be the reason for Palermo, and this guy sold it. I have gone to so many diamonds, let alone this month, maybe no one will come to buy diamonds in the past six months, tell them to drink northwest wind?This guy can’t keep it. I heard that this guy has recently contacted several jewelers in the UK. He used to get hundreds of millions of dollars from Elrosa every month. If it gets in the hands of that guy, he To lose another sum, I have to make this kid disappear. If this guy dies, then there is nothing to talk about. Those customers still have to come to me obediently.

The Yin conspiracy of the two sides was formed step by step. Just as Elrosa began to formulate a plan to deal with Palermo, eo also replied to Palermo. Their people have detected what Palermo provided. According to the guards, there is no problem with that address. It is indeed the place where diamonds or other valuables are stored, but the defense there is also very strong. eo has made a thorough investigation of this operation. There is clearly There are more than three hundred armed personnel in Russia. They seem to be veterans. The fighting quality is not low, and there are a large number of heavy weapons inside. If they do it on Russian soil, they cannot have any. Air support, and the other party may have air support. There were a lot of people inside who wanted to give up this action, but there were billions of dollars in diamonds that directly hooked their hearts. The target was the batch of diamonds, Pakistan. Lemo doesn’t matter whether you destroy it or take it away, as long as it’s not in their hands, and Palermo will also pay a reward of 150 million U.S. dollars, not to mention the diamonds, that’s the reward. It is also the highest employment bonus they know this year. The big deal is to put bombs around there. It’s okay to get rid of it. It’s just that there must be no fewer people going in, at least two hundred people or more. These people need weapons. Palermo solved it, and correspondingly, it gave Palermo a price of 10 million dollars cheaper. Palermo is still very satisfied with this. Hua bought millions of dollars for a lot of large weapons. This channel Palermo still has them. After all, they are considered local bugs. There are still a lot of militants in the army. Palermo pays the money and they report a loss. Such things have not been rare before. Dry.

"Sir, the investigation department just passed the news. Palermo has already discussed with eo, and our people are already in place. It seems that our oriole is ready, and our people have also found an important one. The news is that Erosa is also ready to take action against Palermo because of the diamond." Karelina’s people have already learned about the actions of both sides. The diamond Curry is not only worth dozens of One hundred million dollars of diamonds. The latest news from the investigative department is that there are nearly one hundred billion dollars of diamonds and hundreds of tons of gold. These things are fundamental to Alrosa, so Li Cong’s people must take them. For these things, it’s impossible for Elrosa to kill Palermo. This person is Li Cong’s seller. Li Cong still needs this person to contact him with more European jewelers, so he must Keep this guy.

"Hehe, very good, immediately after the battle begins, we will bring back the things we need, and let them both fight to the death and the life. This is the best way. I originally thought eo would send a large team of people. If they lose heavily, we will be in Africa. The troops in the army directly eliminated them. It seems that the loss of these hundreds of people is not a pain for them." This is what Li never liked in the whole plan. If the other party can send one third People who come to have absolute certainty that they are not the same as such companies and countries. There are more than 3,000 people in total, and they must be killed. Otherwise, they will have troubles in the future. These people are not separated from each other. It's strange to have a terrorist attack yourself.

"Sir, we have checked this. Most of the eo's troops seem to have taken on an escort mission. It is rumored that some antiques in the British Museum are going to be exhibited on Broadway in the United States. Europa has dispatched some military police and special forces. In addition, they also invited the eo protection team, they are very good at these things.” Karelina knew that this is the most useful news today. Li Cong doesn’t like antiques so much, but as long as Li Cong had to take it back. The British Museum was not a joke. It was a temple of world art, according to Li Cong.

The British Museum (britishmuseum), also known as the British Museum, is located in Great Russell Square on the north side of New Oxford Street in London, England. It was established in 1753 and officially opened to the public on January 15, 1759. It is the world’s oldest and most magnificent The comprehensive xing museum is also one of the largest and most famous museums in the world.The museum has collected many cultural relics and book treasures from all over the world. The rich collection and variety are rare in museums all over the world.The museum currently has more than 6 million items in its collection.Due to space constraints, there are still a large number of collections that have not been publicly displayed.After the establishment of Europa, Europa’s senior management had to ship a large number of things to the Louvre in France, but because of the strong opposition from the residents of the British Isles, it has been kept here. This time around 7,000 cultural relics were shipped out from here. Many of them are invaluable. Basically, they belong to those treasures. The Americans paid a lot for this.

The National Museum of England, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Louvre in Paris are both listed as the world’s three largest museums.The British Museum includes the Egyptian Museum, the Greco-Roman Museum, the West Asia Museum, the European Medieval Museum and the Oriental Art Museum.Among them, the collections of the Egyptian Museum, the Greco-Roman Museum and the Oriental Art Museum are the most eye-catching, while the Huaxia collection occupies the majority, and its collections of ancient Roman relics, ancient Greek statues and Egyptian mummies are famous The world, part of the exhibition that was shipped to the United States this time was shipped from the Oriental Art Museum, so Li Congtong also said that it passed. According to this guy, it is Laozi’s ancestors. Why can’t Laozi Got it back?

In 1753, the collector Hans?After the death of Sir Hanssloane (1660-1753), according to his will, he donated all the 71,000 personal collections and a large number of plant specimens, books and manuscripts left to the country.These collections were finally given to the British Parliament by Jiao.After raising funds for the Architectural Museum through public fundraising, the British Museum was finally established on January 15, 1759 in the Meng Tower (montaguebuilding) near London City and opened to the public.

After the museum opened, a large number of precious collections were captured through various activities of the British in various places. The early British Museum tended to collect natural history specimens, but there were also a large number of cultural relics and books, which attracted a large number of visitors.

In 1824, the museum built a new museum to the north of the Meng Tower, and it was completed in the 1840s. The old Meng Tower was demolished shortly after.Soon after the completion of the new building, a circular reading room opened to the public was built in the courtyard.

Hall 33 of the National Museum of Britain is a permanent xing exhibition hall dedicated to men's display of Chinese cultural relics. Like the exhibition halls of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and India, it is one of the museum's only national exhibition halls.The collection of Chinese cultural relics in the museum covers the entire art category of China. In a word, ancient stone tools, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Wei and Jin stone Buddhist scriptures, Tang and Song paintings, Ming and Qing porcelains are marked with national treasures of various cultures in the history of China. It can be seen here, and it can be described as a complete range of men, which is beautiful.In fact, according to Li Cong's idea, it would be nice if I didn't come here to rob you.

However, this is only part of the 23,000 rare Chinese treasures collected by the British National Museum. The other nine-tenths are stored in 10 storage rooms. Unless special permission is obtained, ordinary tourists will never meet.

For certain collections, such as the Tang dynasty copy of the "nv History of Zhentu" by Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, only special experts can have the opportunity to feast their eyes."Nv History Zhentu" is the earliest surviving Huaxia silk painting and one of the earliest professional painters' works that can still be seen in China. It has a milestone significance in the history of Chinese art and has always been a treasure in the court collection of past dynasties.

Now there are only two facsimiles left in the world, one of which was copied by the people of the Song Dynasty, which was collected by the Palace Museum in Beijing. The brushwork is not top grade.The other is the copy in the National Museum of England.It was originally in the collection of the Qing Palace and was the desk favorite of Emperor Qianlong, hidden in the Old Summer Palace.In 1860, the British and French forces invaded the capital, and the British army captain Ji Yong stole it from Yuanming Park and carried it abroad.

In 1903, it was collected by the British National Museum and became the most important oriental cultural relic of the museum. It is no exaggeration to call it "the treasure of the town hall".The facsimile is stored in the Stein's secret room in the museum. According to reports, Xie Chengshui, director of the Art Research Office of the Dunhuang Studies Research Center of Nanjing Normal University, accidentally saw this facsimile in the secret room in 2002. At that time, there was only the last century in the register. Two Fusang people came to the scene to copy the records.

On the central wall of the Huaxia Hall, there are dozens of square meters of Dunhuang murals. Although the cut marks are still visible, it is difficult to conceal its long-lasting beauty and the grace and luxury of the three "Nonglifengfei" Bodhisattvas.There are tens of thousands of Dunhuang paintings and scriptures in the collection of the National Museum of England. Except for this mural, other collections are hard to find in the Huaxia Hall.

Between 1856 and 1932, a number of so-called "Western explorers" went deep into Northwest China in the name of scientific expeditions for more than 60 times, looting a large number of documents and cultural relics each time.Among them, the Hungarian Stein and French Bosch looted the most cultural relics in the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in 1907.
