Metropolis: I Can Modify The Production Date Of Everything!

Albert, one of the most wealthy men in Europe, was angry, and almost everyone from the police station in southern Paris was mobilized.

Don't look at the fact that these French policemen like to work hard.

When it is said above that we should act with all our strength, the efficiency is very high.

The courtesy car arrived at the Bali Underground Tombs attraction, and when they were about to move on, Albert called.

"Mr. Lin, there is no need to keep driving, we have already caught them all."

When the car stopped, police cars immediately surrounded the car.

The next moment, the gun in Abreu's hand disappeared.

The door of the car was opened, and several police officers from Farusi pushed the driver out. A man with a higher police rank poked his head from the driver's seat:

"Mr. Lin?"

"Mr. Albert is here and he wants to talk to you."

After a while, the car door was opened and Albert entered the army.

There's still blood on this guy.

Albert: "He actually came for me, Lin, thank you for finding out."

Albert, a lonely man with all his parents gone, was particularly concerned about his personal safety.

Lin Xuan: “Caught them all?”

"All caught." Albert: "I would like to see who wants to assassinate me in such a big way."

Lin Xuan: "Aren't these people doing this to alert others? Even if I didn't notice, wouldn't you be wary?"

"No." Albert: "I encounter too many thieves every year."

"There are not many people who want to assassinate me."

"These people think very well. They test it out first and then play it real.

Lin Xuan shook his head: "I don't understand you guys, but in our Dragon Kingdom, there is no such thing."

Albert smiled: "There's nothing you can do about it."

"Do you know why a large number of wealthy people like to buy private jets and live on private islands or castles?"

Albert: "Because I'm afraid of death and being assassinated by snipers."

"Minimize the chances of contact with ordinary people as much as possible, and the less opportunities the other party will have to attack."

"But if you live on a private island or a castle-shaped villa, there is flat land all around, so there is no chance of sniping.

It turns out that this is why foreign wealthy people are so keen on buying islands and private jets.

Lin Xuan: "Competitor?"

"right."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and put his hand on Albert's shoulder: "Albert, please don't tell anyone about my identity.

Lin Xuan didn't want to be assassinated by someone from a foreign competitor.

Albert: "As long as the itinerary is not announced in advance, there will be no danger."

"Albert." Lin Xuan: "You rich people like you live cautiously every day, don't you feel a headache?"

"It doesn't matter if you're rich." Albert: "Having a huge fortune is the key to attracting hatred."

"If I sell all my properties and keep the money, no one will do anything to me."

Lin Xuan shrugged: "What's the use of money?"

Albert: "Of course it is useful. For example, a private jet costs 60 million U.S. dollars each and costs 7 to 8 million U.S. dollars a year to operate."

"For example, my private island in the Atlantic Ocean costs more than 400 million U.S. dollars, and I spend 50 to 60 million U.S. dollars every year."

"This is not the same concept as the private jets and islands used by Hollywood starlets."

"If nothing else, when it came to today's situation, I made a phone call and half the city's police were mobilized, and the problem was solved in less than ten minutes."

"If an ordinary person calls the police, a police car may not come to the door within half an hour."

Lin Xuan said cheerfully: "This is not the case in our country. In our country, if you encounter this kind of situation in the city, if you call the police, the police will come within two minutes."

Albert: "Here, the police are an industry, completely different from you."

"Forget it, that's it." Albert: "By the way, I will lend you my private jet for a period of time. You don't know whether it is safe or not during your recent activities in Europe."

"Before the results of the interrogation come out, I don't know if we have really caught them all."

"These desperadoes have a very complex mentality."

Lin Xuan: "Okay."

Albert rearranged the car and arranged for a security team to escort Lin Xuan away.

On the way, Lin Xuan took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Ruoya's number.

"Hello? Lin Xuan, how are you?"

"It's okay." Lin Xuan: "Ruoya, where are you now?"

Wang Ruoya reported a villa address.

Lin Xuan asked the driver to go to this villa.

When traveling, it is more convenient to stay in a hotel. After all, there are dedicated people to clean up every day, and catering is also easy.

But Lin Xuan asked Wang Ruoya to find another place to live.

Wang Ruoya immediately realized that there was a security problem, and Fengxiang immediately rented a villa and arranged a security team.

When they arrived at the villa, Wang Ruoya stepped forward as soon as Lin Xuan entered the door: "What's going on?"

Lin Xuan told the story.

Wang Ruoya was a little scared after hearing this: "Can we encounter this?"

With a wealthy man like Albert, few killer groups would dare to take on the task of killing him.

After all, no matter whether it is successful or not, it is likely to be published in the newspaper.

It was rare to begin with, but Lin Xuan happened to meet their in-law to be their driver.

This chance is simply terrifyingly small.

After chatting for a while, Lin Xuan:

"I think what Albert said makes sense. I'm also planning to buy a private jet々||."

Nowadays, Lin Xuan moves around frequently and it is difficult to avoid flying.

Lin Xuan is no longer a loner, but the nominal president and chairman of the Crimson Group.

Albert could guess Lin Xuan's identity in an instant.

So can others.

Anyone who knows a little bit about Chinese will know that although there are many people with the surname Lin, there are not many people named Lin Xuan.

There are even fewer people with this name who are still rich.

With a little thought, it is easy to think of deep red.

Wang Ruoya: "You want to buy a private jet? Ask Gulfstream to customize it. It will take about half a year."

Lin Xuan shook his head: "Waiting for half a year is too long. I want to buy a second-hand one."

For Lin Xuan, second-hand is new.

You have to wait for more than half a year to buy new ones [the flowers and trees have more than a thousand karma.

You don’t have to wait for second-hand ones, the price is much cheaper.

The key is that there is no difference between the two types in Lin Xuan's case.

So Lin Xuan wanted second-hand ones.

Wang Ruoya: "Not many wealthy people in China have the habit of buying private jets."

"Then buy it here." Lin Xuan: "I just asked Albert to help me set up a line. The favor is not in vain."

Buying a private jet is a trivial matter, but renting a parking space at the airport and setting up a flight crew are troublesome.

The two of them calculated it together and decided to buy the plane from Falunxi.

Let Fengxiang Group come forward to handle the procedures with the airport.

The next day, Lin Xuan and Wang Ruoya were not designing for other jewelry companies in the world.

Lin Xuan came here today, and many people already know Lin Xuan.

From time to time someone would say hello.

Lin Xuan has not thought about making money by betting on stones for the time being, but he can take this line, so he left his contact information with everyone.

In the evening, the jewelry exhibition dinner went on as scheduled.

But before the dinner, the most important thing is this year’s design selection.

Lin Xuan sat at the small round table at the front because of Wang Ruoya's relationship.

A local actress from Falunxi serves as the host and is introducing the judges on the stage:

"Master of jewelry design, chief designer of Cartier Group, Mr. Miles!"

"Mr. Kepa, diamond expert and top master of cutting technology!"

"The youngest S-level jewelry designer and chief designer of Fengxiang Group, Miss Chou Ruoya!"

Wang Ruoya stood up and greeted the guests behind her.

The first piece of jewelry was placed on the stage.

“Shortly after the auction of the unique pink diamond ‘Lucky’ more than ten years ago, Argyle, the world’s largest pink diamond mine, announced that it would stop mining.”

“Fewer and fewer pink diamonds have appeared over the years.”

"Four years ago, a huge pink diamond called 'Pink Star' was auctioned in Sütheby for a high price of 70 million euros. However, the pink diamond did not have enough chroma to be used as a stand-alone design and was more suitable for cutting."

"Today's diamond ring is cut from a twenty-three-carat diamond."

Miles picked up the phone: "Ladies first."

Wang Ruoya also picked up the microphone: "Since Kepa, the cutting master, is here, it's up to Mr. Kepa to make the evaluation."

“There’s not much to comment on the design of the diamond ring.” Kepa:

“Especially huge diamonds, because they are too big, there is no design space.

“When we look at large diamond rings, we all look at the cutting process.”

“The cutting process of this diamond is very good, but if the angle of the top surface is tilted by 0.3 degrees, the best brilliance effect should be achieved.

Wang Ruoya lowered her head and whispered: "This diamond is cut like this, it is a waste of natural resources..."

Lin Xuan wondered: "Why?"

"Because if you cut it according to Kepa's instructions, the diamond will look very sparkling, and when he cuts it out like this, it will look like a sticky candy.

Lin Xuan doesn't know much about jewelry design. For the first time, he understands whether a diamond is good or not. In addition to its weight, there are also cutting process factors.

At Albert's, Lin Xuan bought a pink diamond.

I need to find a big boss to try.

Lin Xuan naturally thought of Kepa.

Indeed, there is no reflection at all on the selected work on stage, just like a sticky pink candy.

When others look at it, where are the things worth tens of millions?

Lin Xuan's pink diamond was not expensive to buy.

But there was a reason. The people who attended Albert's party were all wealthy men. They were all older and had no interest in pink diamonds, so no one bid for it, which was far lower than the real market price.

It's like Albert is selling it at a loss, and putting it in the first auction is just to get a lucky draw.

Show yourself to be generous.

Lin Xuan took the pink diamond solely for Wang Ruoya.

Originally, I was going to let Wang Ruoya do the design.

After listening to Kepa's words today, Lin Xuan discovered that there is nothing to design about diamonds, it is just a matter of cutting technology.

Then Wang Ruoya took it as a benefit that did not help the growth of design ability.

Why not make it into a diamond ring and give it to her.

Then, the works that came in were not very bright.

After all, this is not the British Jewelry Show, it is a second-class exhibition in the jewelry industry.

In the end, a snake-shaped diamond-encrusted bracelet was selected as the winner by Wang Ruoya and the others because of its strong Tanzanian style, and received an A-level evaluation.

After the banquet started, while Wang Ruoya went to the bathroom, Lin Xuan walked up to Kepa holding a wine glass.

"Mr. Kepa."

Kepa smiled: "Are you Wang's boyfriend?"

"Well, that's right." Lin Xuan: "I have a commission that I would like Mr. Kepa to help me with."

Kepa: "Cut diamond?"

Lin Xuan nodded: "I bought a pink diamond and wanted to make it into a ring.

Kepa smiled: "How old?"

Lin Xuan pointed at his index finger: "It's so big."

Kepa was shocked: "So big? Pink Diamond

Now that it is no longer produced, who did you buy it from?"

"Albert."

Kepa suddenly realized: "It turns out to be 'Nebula'. I understand. Are you eager to get it?"

Lin Xuan nodded: "How about tomorrow, cut it out tomorrow.

Kepa looked strange: "Not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow."

Lin Xuan smiled and shook hands with Kepa: "It's agreed, Hou Qing.

"You have to get the number on Miss Wang's left ring finger.

Lin Xuan: "I understand."

Back at the villa, Lin Xuan chatted again and again while Wang Ruoya was reading.

After chatting about jewelry design, Lin Xuan asked at first glance: "By the way, Ruoya, what are the measurements on your finger?"

Wang Ruoya: "Three numbers before and after ten are fine.

Lin Xuan scratched his head: "What number is ten?"

Wang Ruoya took out a bunch of rings from her bag.

"There are international regulations for the size of a ring on a finger, which ranges from six to twenty-nine rings."

"But except for the thumb and little finger, the larger and smaller rings cannot be used."

"I'll give you a comparison."

Wang Ruoya took one of the rings and put it on Lin Xuan.

After Lin Xuan put it on, he saw that it was just right and 16 was engraved on the ring.

"Ruoya, you have very good eyesight, you can tell right away that I am 16.

Wang Ruoya blushed.

Then the little tsundere said: "Of course, I am a professional!"

Lin Xuan also compared it with Wang Ruoya. The index finger of his left hand was indeed 10.

Both of them were very concerned about this, but they both pretended to be casual.

After going to bed at night, Wang Ruoya said: "By the way, let's stay in Faruxi for two more days. I have to go out for something tomorrow. Let's have some fun together the day after tomorrow?"

Lin Xuan: "Not the day after tomorrow, I have something to do the day after tomorrow, so let's play for three more days, and then go to the Netherlands in four days. Anyway, we can use Albert's private jet at any time.

Unlike China, which pays more attention to safety issues, planes need to apply for routes one week in advance.

Temporary coordination here is absolutely possible.

Wang Ruoya: "Did Albert help you find the private jet?"

"Oh, yes, that's right." Lin Xuan admitted casually.

Wang Ruoya: "Haha, next time I go out to play, I can fly on your plane.

The next day, Wang Ruoya arrived at the place where Kepa lived early in the morning.

"Mr. Kepa, please excuse me."

Kepa quickly finished cutting the blue diamond brought by Wang Ruoya, and then set it on a wide-body ring made of platinum.

The overall appearance is a rectangular blue diamond interface, which looks majestic and calm.

Wang Ruoya looked at the ring: "These curved designs are like the way a ring is designed."

Kepa laughed: "No, these curves are to reflect the design style of the lake. I call this ring the lake surface.

Blue diamonds are really suitable for lake surfaces.

On the third day, Lin Xuan arrived at Kepa's house quietly.

Kepa cut the pink diamond Lin Xuan brought to it so brilliantly.

The oval pink diamond shines very brightly under the light.

Lin Xuan pointed to the ring: "Aren't these curves not pretty? I think other people's rings are straight.

Kepa: "This is to reflect the softness of women."

The more Lin Xuan looked at it, the more he liked it: "Not bad, not bad, thank you, Mr. Kepa. When you get to Dragon Kingdom, I will take you to drink the best red wine that is no longer available in the world."

Kepa laughed loudly: "If it's a wedding, I will definitely go."

After Lin Xuan left, Kepa wiped his sweat and laughed.

Without the knowledge of each other, both men and women chose themselves as the designer of the ring.

A pair of rings, designed separately.

Only when they bring each other together will they discover this fate, right?

Kepa smiled: "Today's young people are romantic."

The plane landed in Rotterdam.

The helicopter arranged by Wang Ruoya picked up the two and flew directly to Maastricht, a very inconspicuous town in the Netherlands.

This place is where the European Art and Antiques Fair has always been held.

The European Art and Antiques Fair, TEFAF, has built a huge exhibition area in this town that is larger than four football fields.

People in this small town prepare for these days almost every year.

Nearly 200 exhibitors from more than 40 countries around the world participated.

Since the end of last year's expo, people in the town have devoted themselves to the construction, restoration, etc. of the venue's decoration style for the new year.

The rich man who landed in the helicopter is the most important guest of the expo.

As soon as Lin Xuan and Wang Ruoya came down, local staff greeted them: "Two of you, are you (Zhao) here to participate in the exhibition or to visit?"

Lin Xuan: "I need a special exhibition hall. I don't display many antiques, but the price of each piece is more than 10 million euros."

Upon hearing this, the staff hurriedly reported to the organizing committee.

Soon, the staff hung up the phone: "Please follow me.

Before he could even reach the resting place, he entered the venue.

However, the venue is not open for visits yet, only exhibitors and staff are inside.

There are tons of collectors here.

Among them, many domestic antiques are on display.

More than ten years ago, after the Olympic Games, many rich people suddenly realized that the Dragon Kingdom was already very developed and there were many rich people.

A year later, at the 2009 Expo, Yinhuang's exhibitors brought a large number of Dragon Kingdom antiques.

That year, they made a lot of money.

It was also from that year that the price of Longguo art began to soar in the art trading market.

Before that, paintings by the famous painter Zhang Daqian were only worth several million.

After that, it set new highs repeatedly, and even "Ba People Drawing Water" created a terrifying price of 300 million. You must know that this price is no different from that of mainstream Western painters.

And Zhang Daqian is just a modern painter.

His paintings cannot be called antiques.

The prices of Qi Baishi's paintings, an era earlier than his, have soared from one million to one, with the highest-priced work being auctioned for more than 400 million.

And what about earlier ones?

Sorry, private collectors who have paintings by people such as Tang Bohu and Wu Daozi will never sell them.

Therefore, no one knows how much money the rich people of the Dragon Kingdom are willing to pay for their paintings. It can only be roughly estimated that it is more than 500 million. Among them, the famous works should basically be in

ZE.

Far more than Van Gogh and even more than Picasso.

Therefore, Lin Xuan saw a large number of Longguo people among the exhibitors.

They have a special feature. The things they sell are ordinary. Basically, they are just for the sake of their identity as exhibitors to facilitate the purchase of antiques, rather than actually selling antiques.

Lin Xuan is different.

Lin Xuan's antiques were quickly placed in glass display cabinets, and then the glass exhibition hall was quickly closed.

After Lin Xuan left, a large number of European collectors gathered around:

"Is this! Seriously?"

"F**K, there are people selling this kind of treasure?"

"No!"
