Han Yezhen continued to tell the story.

“Leo said that Louis was serving in the army at the time and didn’t know what happened at home. Later, the war broke out and Louis had been fighting with the Germans. After World War II, Louis returned to his hometown and knew what happened that year. He's left alone."

"Back then, the Germans ransacked antiques and artworks in France. Many of them were too late to be transported. Some were hidden in local caves. Later, the Allied forces seized these collections. The government established the looted art management committee to return the art. Products, as long as they can provide evidence, they can be returned to family members."

"Fortunately, the gallery of Louis's house is of a business nature. Every painting in the gallery has a very complete record. Louis found the account book at the time. After the government verified that it was correct, the gallery returned the gallery's paintings to Louis. "

"My friend now has a total of 227 paintings in his hand. There are works by famous artists as well as works by modern artists. This is only a part of all the paintings in the gallery back then.

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man shrugged.

"You know, the war has just ended, and life in France is very difficult. Although my friend Louis has such a large number of oil paintings, he has no source of income at all."

"Can he sell it?" Irina asked.

Irina herself is of French origin. She also came to the United States with her parents at that time. She had also been with her relatives in France. She had heard about the looting of French art by the Germans, especially the French Jews. Almost all of them were ransacked.

"Life in France is not easy now. People are not as sought after for artworks as they were before the war, and the prices are kept low. For example, the painting I sold to you is one of all the paintings of the Louis family.

The oil painting dealers in France only offered 400 US dollars. Louis asked me to bring it to the United States for a try. I brought it to the United States. I asked several auction companies and galleries. The prices generally range from 1,500 to 2,000 US dollars. The highest one was $2,300, which is four or five times that of France. "

"When I came, Louis told me that if he could find a good buyer, he would sell all these artworks to the other party. However, the government now prohibits some famous works from being shipped out of the country, so this business is somewhat illegal."

"After selling the money, he plans to take the money to immigrate. He has read reports about the United States and knows that life here is very happy. He plans to buy a farm and live in the United States."

Hardy remembered that a few months ago, Han Yizhen had told him that they met a big seller who had a number of high-end artworks, including famous paintings by Monet, Cézanne, and Picasso. This is probably what they were talking about.

He remembered that he had reminded Han Yezhen at the time that he must be careful when dealing with such a person, but he did not expect to be deceived.

"What about after that?" Hardy asked.

Han Yezhen took a breath and continued: "We expressed our willingness to purchase this batch of paintings. As for the transportation, let's find a way. I was thinking at the time that if the transaction is successful, I will let you transport it. I know you have a way. "

Hardy was a little funny.

This girl is quite confident in herself.

"The man told us that he would contact his friends in France and come to us when there is news, but the middle-aged man left for more than a month. When he reappeared, he said that his friend would sell those paintings. As for the price, he needed to negotiate face-to-face. After all, the value of each painting varies greatly."

"I agreed to send two appraisers over. After this meeting, the middle-aged man disappeared again. After a few days, he came back and said that the deal with us was temporarily cancelled. They found a more powerful acquirer."

Speaking of this, Han Yezhen pouted, "I was quite frustrated at the time, and a good business flew away."

"But after more than a month, the middle-aged Leo came over again and told us that the deal between him and the acquirer was stale. The other party said very well at the beginning and would give a high price, but he could send someone to appraise it, The price was deliberately lowered, which was more than twice as bad as Louis's vision, and finally the two sides fell apart."

"I asked him at the time, how much did the buyer offer? Leo said that the other party offered a price of 1.06 million. Louis asked someone to see it and said that these works of art should be able to sell for 2 million US dollars in the United States."

"How did you get deceived?" Hardy asked.

Han Yezhen's expression became darker, and she said solemnly: "He said at first that he would help us contact his friend Louis again. After waiting for a few days to come back, he said that there was bad news. His friend Louis was looking for a bank for emigration. I borrowed a sum of money, a total of 100,000 yuan, and used those oil paintings to find a bank mortgage."

"Now that batch of paintings is being held by the bank and must be unfrozen if we want to get it back. He asked us if we would like to temporarily advance the unfrozen funds, and when we get the paintings back, the money will be paid out of the purchase money."

Hardy said,

Got.

Really made myself guess right, asset decompression routine.

"I still kept my eyes on it at the time and wrote a cash check for 100,000 U.S. dollars, and asked Mr. Musk to take a subordinate, and the two of them went to France with this man named Leo to contact Louis, if this matter can be achieved. , Help him pay back the bank money first and unfreeze the mortgaged oil painting."

"But something went wrong when we set off. Musk said that Leo cheated their cheque and disappeared."

Han Yezhen finished speaking and looked at Musk who was standing in the crowd.

Musk is in his thirties this year. He used to work for another auction company and has strong experience in purchasing art and antiques. He was invited by Han Yizhen to become the purchasing supervisor of the art department.

Hardy also turned to look at Musk. When Musk saw Hardy looking at him, his face was a little annoyed and said: "Boss, it’s not that I was not careful. I suspect that person is a professional liar. I just show him. After a check, he dropped it and gave me a fake check."

Speaking of picking up the fake check on the desk and handing it to Hardy, Hardy took the fake check and looked at it. If he didn't look carefully, it would be hard to find out that the check was fake for a while.

"You tell the story in detail." Hardy said.

Musk said quickly.

"I picked up a check from Miss Irina this morning, and took Johnny and the man named Leo to Los Angeles Airport, preparing to fly to New York, and then take a cruise to France."

"While we were waiting for the plane at the airport, we were chatting about the situation that we might encounter on the way to France, and Leo suddenly said: "Look at your check. Is it an international check that can be used in Europe? If not, then we can I ran for nothing. ""

"I took out the check and looked at it and found that the check was ok. The Leo stretched out his hand and said that he also took a look. I thought at the time that the two of us were next to him. He definitely couldn't do anything about it, so he passed the check. Give it to him. Leo took the check in his hand and looked at it for a few times, then smiled and returned the check to me."

"At that time, Little John and I kept staring at him, and didn't find anything wrong, so we put the check back in the wallet, and the Leo said he was going to the bathroom, and then we left without paying any respects."

"We waited left and right until the Leo who was about to board the plane didn't come back. Little John and I felt something was wrong, so we looked around, but we couldn't find anyone. Only then did we realize it was wrong and opened Leo's luggage. The box is full of newspapers and nothing else."

"At this time, the two of us knew that something was wrong, but the check was in our hands, and I thought what else could be done to each other, but when I opened the purse to check the check, I found that the check was very irregular. It turned out that Leo was looking at it. The check was exchanged for the real check with a fake check in an instant."

Hardy doesn't doubt Musk's words, it's not difficult to change things instantly under the noses of others.

Musk lowered his head, "At this time we knew we were cheated, and then we hurried back to report to the boss, sorry boss, this is my mistake."

After speaking, he glanced at Han Yezhen with embarrassment.

Hardy nodded, glanced at the company executives and appraisers around him, and showed a faint smile, "Okay, I know about this. From now on, this matter will be handed over to me. The company still has a lot of things to deal with. , You return to your posts."

The executives and appraisers quickly left the general manager's office.

Only Hardy, Han Yezhen and Irina were left in the room.

There were no outsiders in the room, Han Yezhen looked at Hardy, her eyes suddenly red, "I'm sorry Hardy, you reminded me before, but I was still fooled."

"I admit that I am indeed a bit greedy. Leo's repeated operations made me stunned. I arranged for Musk and John to go to France in person. I thought I was foolproof, but I was cheated by the other party."

While speaking, two teardrops rolled down.

After losing 100,000 U.S. dollars, Han Yezhen blamed and annoyed herself very much.

Hardy stepped forward and reached out to wipe the tears off Han Yezhen's face, and took her into his arms, letting the woman's head rest on her shoulders.

"Don't cry, it's just a small matter. Don't worry, I will deal with it. I will ask a friend to help find it, and maybe I can get it back." Hardy persuaded.

There is no other meaning to hug Han Yezhen.

Just want to comfort the girl.

Being held by Hardy in his arms, Han Yezhen didn't notice anything strange, but felt dependent.

"If the money can't be recovered, I will use my money to make up for the loss." Han Yizhen said with a choked voice.

Han Yezhen and Hardy had a cooperation agreement before, and they shared 5% of the art. The loss of 100,000 US dollars is estimated to be enough for her to work for 2 years.

"I said, I will deal with this matter, even if the loss is lost, I won't let you make compensation alone." Hardy said.

Irina stood by.

Seeing Hardy comforting Han Yezhen in his arms, there was a little slander in his heart.

The boss will seize the opportunity.

Taking advantage of Yejin's sadness, she moved her hands and feet and held Yejin into her arms.

She blinked her big eyes.

A sad expression was immediately put on his face.

He walked up to Hardy and said in a sad voice: "Boss, I am also sad in my heart. I didn't even see that the Frenchman is a liar, oooooooo."

As he said, he hugged Hardy.

Hardy knew that she was acting as soon as she saw this girl, and put her palm on Irina's forehead. Irina was immediately blocked and couldn't hug it~www.wuxiaspot.com~oh~~!

Irina's crying stopped immediately, and she looked at Hardy dumbly, her face flashed with little annoyance, and she was seen through by the boss.

Han Yezhen seemed to notice something, came out of Hardy's arms, and wiped the tears on her cheeks with her hand.

Hardy walked to the phone and called HD security. "Lanster, something went wrong with the auction company and was cheated of a sum of money. You brought people from the strategy research office and the intelligence department over to find a way. Find out that liar."

"I see, this will pass."

Then Hardy called Bill again and asked him to investigate the activities of the liar Leo in Los Angeles.

Hardy gave an order and the whole Los Angeles moved.
