Han Ye Jin continued to tell the story.

Leo said that Louis was serving in the army at the time, and he didn't know what happened at home. Later, the war broke out, and Louis had been fighting the Germans. After World War II, when Louis returned to his hometown, he knew what happened that year. Only their family was left. Leave him alone.

In those days, the Germans scavenged for antiques and works of art in France, many of which were too late to be transported away, and some were hidden in local caves. Later, the Allies recovered these collections, and the government established a management committee for looted works of art, which was responsible for returning the art. As long as they can provide evidence, they can be returned to the family members.”

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

My friend now has a total of 227 paintings, including paintings by famous artists and works by modern artists. This is only a part of all the paintings in the gallery back then.

Speaking of which, 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 collection of oil paintings, he has no source of income at all.

Can he sell it? Irina asked.

Irina herself is of French descent. She also came to the United States with her parents at that time. She also heard from her relatives in France that the Germans plundered French works of art, especially French Jews, almost all of them were raided and exterminated.

It's hard to live in France now, people are not as eager for art as they were before the war, and the price is very low. For example, the painting I sold you is one of all the paintings in the Louis family.

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

Louis told me when he came here that if he could find a good buyer, he would be willing to sell all these artworks to each other, but now the government prohibits the export of some famous works from the country, so this business is somewhat illegal.

After selling the money, he plans to immigrate with the money. He has seen 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 a few months ago,

Han Yizhen once told him that they met a big seller with a batch of high-end artworks, including famous paintings by Monet, Cezanne, and Picasso. It is estimated that this is what they are talking about.

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

And after that? Hardy asked.

Han Yizhen took a breath and continued, We expressed our willingness to acquire these paintings. As for the transportation, we will find a way. I thought at the time, if the transaction is successful, I will ask you to help transport it. I know you have a way.

Hardy was a little amused.

This girl is quite confident in herself.

The man told us that he would contact a friend in France and contact us when there was news, but the middle-aged man had been gone for more than a month. When he reappeared, he said that his friend was willing to sell those paintings, and the price needed to be negotiated in person. , 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 terminated. They found a more powerful acquirer.

Speaking of which, Han Yizhen pouted, I was quite depressed at the time, and a very good business flew away.

But more than a month later, the middle-aged Leo came over again and told us that the deal between him and the acquirer was broken. The other party said it was very good at first and would give a high price. Deliberately lowering the price was more than double what Louis had envisioned, and in the end the two sides broke down.”

I asked him at the time how much the buyer offered? Leo said that the other party offered 1.06 million. Louis asked someone to read it and said that these works of art should sell for 2 million dollars in the United States.

How did you get deceived? Hardy asked.

Han Yizhen's expression became even darker, and she said solemnly: He initially said to help us contact his friend Louis again, and when he came back a few days later, he said there was bad news. His friend Louis went to the bank for immigration. 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 withheld by the bank, and if we want to take it back, we must unfreeze it. He asked us if we would like to temporarily advance the unfrozen funds. When we get the paintings back, the money will be paid out of the purchase price.

Hardy said,

have to.

I really made myself guess right, the asset decompression routine.

I also kept an eye on it at the time and wrote a cash check for $100,000, and asked Director Musk to take a subordinate, and the two of them went to France with this man named Leo, and contacted Louis, if this thing can be done. , just help him repay the bank money first, and unfreeze the mortgaged oil painting.

But there was a problem when we set off, and Musk said that Leo spoofed their check and disappeared.

After Han Yezhen finished speaking, she looked at Musk who was standing in the crowd.

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

Hardy also turned his head to look at Musk, Musk saw Hardy looking at him, and said with a bit of annoyance on his face: Boss, it's not that I was careless, I suspect that person is a professional liar, I just let him see After I checked the check, he dropped the package and gave me a fake check.

Saying that, he picked up the fake check on the table and handed it to Hadi. Hadi 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 in a while.

You go through the details again. Hardy said.

Musk spoke quickly.

I got a check from Miss Irina this morning, and I took little John and Leo to Los Angeles airport to get a plane to New York, and then a cruise to France.

While we were waiting for the plane at the airport, we were chatting about what might happen on the way to France when Leo suddenly said, Look at your cheque, is it an international cheque that can be used in Europe, if not, then we can White run.

I took out the check and looked at it and found that the check was fine. That Leo stretched out his hand and said he took a look too. I thought at the time that the two of us were right next to him. He must not be able to play any tricks, so he handed the check. Give it to him, Leo flipped the check in his hand, looked at it a few times, and returned the check to me with a smile.

Johnny and I kept staring at him and didn't see anything wrong, we put the check back in our wallet, and then Leo said he was going to the bathroom and left without salute.

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

At this time, the two of us knew something was wrong, but the cheque was in our hands. I thought to myself what else could the other party do, but when I opened the bag to check the cheque, I found that the cheque was very irregular. It turned out that Leo was looking at the cheque. The check exchanged a fake check for a real check in an instant.

Hardy doesn't doubt Musk's words, it's not difficult to change things in an instant under the eyes of others.

Musk bowed his head, It was only then that we realized we were cheated, and then we hurried back to report to the boss. I'm sorry boss, this is my mistake.

After speaking, she looked at Han Ye Jin embarrassedly.

Hardy nodded, glanced at the company executives and appraisers around him, and showed a faint smile, Okay, I understand this matter, from now on, this matter is handed over to me, the company still has a lot to deal with. , go back to your post.

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

Only Hadi, Han Yejin and Irina were left in the room.

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

I admit that I am indeed a little greedy. That Leo's operations several times made me dizzy. I arranged for Musk and Little John to go to France in person. I thought it was foolproof, but I was still deceived by the other party.

As he spoke, two tears rolled down.

Han Ye-jin felt very self-blame and annoyed at the loss of 100,000 dollars.

Hadi stepped forward, reached out and wiped away the tears from Han Yezhen's face, took her into his arms, and put the woman's head on his shoulders.

Don't cry, it's just a small matter. Don't worry, I'll handle it. I'll ask my friends to help you find it, and maybe I can get it back. Hardy comforted.

Hug Han Ye Jin has no other meaning.

Just want to comfort the girl.

Being held in Hadi's arms, Han Yezhen herself didn't notice anything different, she just felt supported.

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

Han Yezhen and Hadi had a cooperation agreement before, 5% of the artwork was divided, and the loss of 100,000 US dollars was estimated to be enough for her to work for 2 years.

I said, I will handle this matter, and even if it loses, I won't let you compensate alone. Hadi said.

Irina stood by.

Seeing Hadi comforting Han Yejin in his arms, he felt a little sullen in his heart.

The boss will seize the opportunity.

Taking advantage of Ye Jin's sadness, she moved her hands and feet and hugged Ye Jin into her arms.

She blinked her big eyes,

Immediately, a sad expression appeared on his face.

Walking up to Hardy, the voice said sadly, Boss, I'm also very sad, I didn't even see that the Frenchman was a liar, woo woo woo.

Saying that, he hugged Hardy.

Hardy knew the girl was pretending when he saw it, and put his palm on Irina's forehead. Irina was immediately blocked and could not be hugged.

Oh~~!

Irina's crying stopped immediately, and she looked at Hardy dumbly, a little annoyance flashed on her face, and the boss saw through it.

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

Hardy walked over to the phone and called HD security, Lanster, something happened to the auction company, and they were defrauded of a sum of money. You brought people from the Strategy Research Office and the Intelligence Department over here to find a way. Find that liar.

I see, it's over.

Hardy then called Bill again and asked him to investigate the conman Leo's activities in Los Angeles.

Hardy gave an order, and the whole Los Angeles moved.
