"Dad, didn't you say you wanted to use porcelain to paint those paintings? Have you started transporting porcelain? Stephen Petty called yesterday to ask about this."

"I have arranged it. All the porcelain will be transported by air. I will go there in a few days. Don't worry about it. After the porcelain arrives, put it in the villa first. If Stephen Petty asks, you can say that I want to come here in person to trade with him and delay him for a while."

Although Momo didn't understand why Meng Haisheng arranged it this way, she knew very well that Meng Haisheng must have his reasons for doing so. So Momo didn't ask any more questions.

The Meng family has two villas in LA, one in the city center and one in the suburbs.

Meng Haisheng asked the bodyguard to put all the porcelain in the basement of the villa in the city center.

Meng Haisheng did not deliberately conceal the whole process, and even had a bit of a high profile. He wanted Stephen Petty to know how the porcelain arrived in LA with just a little investigation.

This process can dispel half of Stephen Petty's doubts. If it was art, who would take such a big risk to ship a lot of porcelain abroad.

Stephen Petty never expected that Meng Haisheng would go to great lengths to deal with him.

Not only did he go to great lengths to send a bunch of art to LA, he also specially found actors to perform with him, preparing to rip him off.

In Stephen Petty's villa.

"Boss, I have carefully checked that Miss Song's client this time is not Meng Chuling, but the boss behind her is Meng Chuling's father Meng Haisheng."

"The Fourth Continent Group he owns is very famous in China, and it has a certain government background, and one of his uncles is a senior official. This time he was able to ship the antiques out very smoothly because he had contacted the top leaders."

"If it was an ordinary businessman, it would be impossible to get through the relationship and ship the porcelain out in such a short time." Stephen Petty's secretary Mike Fuller showed him the information he had found.

In order to obtain this information, Mike Fuller used almost all the connections he could, and even spent nearly $100,000, and only then could he barely find some useful information.

"As long as China mentions the Fourth Continent, almost everyone knows it. Everyone knows that Meng Haisheng is a wealthy businessman with a deep background."

"And since the 1980s, Meng Haisheng has been buying all kinds of antiques and calligraphy and paintings in China, and the amount he has bought is not small. According to various investigations, these porcelains should not have any problems."

Stephen Petty leaned back in his chair and slowly flipped through the information in his hand.

Although everything proves that there should be no big problem with the porcelains shipped by Meng Haisheng.

But he still doesn't believe it. After all, it is too strange that such a large amount of porcelain was blatantly shipped to LA without anyone caring.

He doesn't believe that Meng Haisheng has such great power.

"We still have to be careful. Find a few experts who are familiar with porcelain. When Meng Haisheng is trading with us, let them all take a close look. If there is any mistake, I will lose a lot."

"I understand. The porcelain has been shipped to LA, but there has been no movement from Meng Haisheng. Should we take the initiative to contact him?"

"No, wait and see."

Stephen Peidi thought Meng Haisheng would take the initiative to contact him, but two days later, Meng Haisheng not only did not take the initiative to contact him, but he was even in contact with other collectors.

Momo even went out to look at ancient paintings several times on behalf of Meng Haisheng.

Stephen Peidi couldn't sit still now. What if Meng Haisheng took a fancy to other collectors' collections again? Wouldn't he have waited here for so long in vain?

Once he found out that Meng Haisheng did not take the initiative to contact him, Stephen Peidi immediately asked Mike Fuller to contact Momo and ask about the meeting time.

He learned that Meng Haisheng had not come to LA yet, and they could only meet after he came. The goods have arrived, but Meng Haisheng has not come yet. Stephen Peidi is somewhat anxious after a while.

Now he is not the only one who knows that Meng Haisheng has a batch of porcelain coming to LA. Others also know about this.

Mexicans like all kinds of Chinese porcelain very much, especially those with strong colors.

For some reason, the pictures of the porcelain brought by Meng Haisheng spread in the LA collection circle. Among them, there are several large bottles from the Qianlong period, which made several collectors jealous and asked for Meng Haisheng's contact information.

"Boss, what should we do now? Meng Haisheng will not raise the price."

Stephen Peidi frowned, "These porcelains are all selected by me. How dare those damn rubbish snatch them from me."

Although he said so, Stephen Peidi was not sure in his heart. Who knows what Meng Haisheng is thinking when he contacts so many people. What if he really wants to cast a wide net and deliberately lower the price, things will be difficult to handle.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt in his heart.Zhong Yue was anxious. In order to get the first-hand information about Meng Haisheng, he directly sent people to watch Meng Haisheng's every move, fearing that he would miss the news of Meng Haisheng's arrival in LA.

Meng Haisheng, who was far away in Beijing, finished his work at hand. After all the 12 zodiac animal heads were packed, he followed them to LA.

He reported these animal heads as works of art when he passed the customs. There was a small art exhibition in LA to accept his batch of 12 zodiac animal heads.

Everything seemed to be fine. Meng Haisheng had all the procedures in place.

After he arrived in LA, the first thing he did was to meet Momo and Meng Tanqing.

"Tanqing, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you grown a lot taller?"

Meng Haisheng looked at Meng Tanqing, who was already a head taller than Momo, and couldn't believe it. When they met last time, they were about the same height.

"Dad, don't worry. I will definitely be taller than you in the future. I still have great potential for development."

Meng Tanqing has always been confident about his height. Although he didn't grow tall in junior high school, it's not too late to grow taller now.

"Don't be so cocky. If it weren't for your dad's good genes, it would be difficult for you to grow to 1.8 meters."

The little bean sprout that used to follow him has grown into a young man without him noticing. Meng Haisheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was really old.

After having lunch with the two children, Meng Haisheng asked Momo about the collectors who had contacted her.

"Since the news about the porcelain spread, more than a dozen collectors have contacted me. One of them, Mr. Baring Gray, is very interested in our porcelain. He also invited me to his gallery to see his collection of paintings."

"To be honest, I prefer Mr. Baring Gray. At least his collections are all obtained through formal channels and are not stained with any blood."

"Oh, how do you know? Many famous Chinese paintings that are scattered abroad were stolen by invaders. Each of these paintings is stained with the blood of our Chinese ancestors."

After hearing what Meng Haisheng said, Momo's delicate brows were tightly knitted, and she was somewhat reluctant to discuss this heavy topic with Meng Haisheng.

If he thought like Meng Haisheng, he would not be able to buy the antiques that were illegally imported into LA in LA.
