“It’s actually you?”
When the man slowly raised his hand to take off his mask, Luo Feng frowned, his heart full of surprise.
The face that was revealed turned out to be Jiao Yilang.
The president of the intercontinental island in charge of the city area.
Previously, his son Jiao Taijun was having a party on the coral island, and he happened to be bumped into by Luo Feng, and the two of them didn't know each other.
"President Jiao? Why are you here?" Luo Feng stared at him in confusion.
This man appeared here and recognized him. This is not good news.
Luo Feng is fully aware of the power of Boss Hua.
The other party is most likely related to the upper echelons of Intercontinental Island, maybe Jiao Yilang.
Jiao Yilang smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Luo, the world is so small sometimes."
“I also heard that there are some rare antiques being auctioned here, so I came here to join in the fun. I didn’t expect to meet you here unexpectedly.”
Bai Ningbing squinted her eyes slightly, still looking at Jiao Yilang warily.
Anyone who appears at this juncture may bring unexpected variables.
The most important thing is that Luo Feng was still wearing a mask, but he was recognized by Jiao Yilang at a glance, which inevitably made people suspicious.
"You're here just for the antiques?" Bai Ningbing didn't dare to say anything, and Luo Feng helped her question it.
Jiao Yilang shrugged, "Of course, I have always had a strong interest in antiques."
“But, Mr. Luo, why are you here?”
When he said this, Jiao Yilang paused for a moment, and then set his eyes on Bai Ningbing, his eyes a little more intriguing.
Bai Ningbing lowered her head slightly and did not make eye contact with him, so as not to worry about being recognized.
She also knew that the current situation was not suitable for others to discover her identity.
Jiao Yilang did not continue to stare at her. Instead, he turned back to Luo Feng and smiled.
“Looking at you, you seem to be paying special attention to these two antiques.”
Luo Feng was silent for a moment, and then said: "This has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
At present, he has no way to judge whether the appearance of this guy is intentional or a coincidence.
However, this guy was able to recognize him at a glance even though he was wearing a mask and he was coming all the way from a distance, so he really had to be on guard.
Jiao Yilang was not angry, but said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, don't be so nervous. Maybe we can cooperate?"
"I am familiar with the situation here. If you need it, I can help you."
Luo Feng said lightly, "I don't need your help. You'd better stay away from us."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Jiao Yilang's eyes, but he did not give up.
“Mr. Luo, please don’t refuse so quickly. Everything that happened before is in the past, and we don’t know each other.”
The man in the suit wanted to talk, but he didn't know who this Jiao Yilang was.
However, this is an opportunity for him to escape from Luo Feng's clutches.
"Two gentlemen, the auction is about to start. I have to host it. I really don't have time to accompany you any longer."
As he said that, he prepared to walk away smoothly.
However, Luo Feng grabbed his arm, and then patted his shoulder hard with his right hand, "Don't be so anxious, we also have something to ask for."
The man in the suit felt a murderous aura, shrank his head and did not dare to say anything anymore.
This subtle atmosphere made Jiao Yilang's eyes flash with something strange.
After a pause, he smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, I know you are pressed for time now. Boss Hua doesn't have much time for you, right?"
“If you would work with me, maybe we could solve the problem faster.”
Luo Feng was moved in his heart, but remained indifferent on the surface. "How do you know about Boss Hua?"
Is it possible that he really guessed it? This guy really has something to do with Boss Hua.
Jiao Yilang smiled mysteriously, "Mr. Luo, in this circle, news always spreads very quickly."
"I know your current situation, and I also know that you are interested in these two antiques."
“If we work together, I can help you determine the authenticity of the antique and even help you bid at auction.”
Luo Feng fell into deep thought.
Jiao Yilang's appearance did surprise him, but his proposal was not unattractive.
If Jiao Yilang can really help them determine the authenticity of the antique and bid at the auction, their chances of success may be greatly increased.
But the problem now is that he has no way to judge whether Jiao Yilang and Boss Hua are related?
If the two are related, then for Luo Feng, it would be like a sheep entering a wolf's den.
Bai Ningbing saw Luo Feng's hesitation, and she gently pulled the corner of Luo Feng's clothes to signal him to be careful.
She didn’t know much about what happened before, but she always felt that this person was not that simple.
Luo Feng nodded slightly, and then said to Jiao Yilang: "I can consider your proposal, but you must first prove your sincerity."
A hint of excitement flashed in Jiao Yilang's eyes, "Mr. Luo, don't worry, I will definitely prove my sincerity."
Then he walked to the seat next to him, as if he was picking up something. Then he took a look around and saw no one around, then walked over again.
"These are two pieces of information. First of all, I can tell you that these two antiques are indeed real."
Seeing the parameters on the information, the man in the suit frowned, "Who are you? How come you have our internal information?"
Luo Feng smiled softly, without any intention of hiding his identity for Jiao Yilang.
“Don’t you even know your Governor Jiao?”
“President Jiao? Are you President Jiao Yilang??”
The man in the suit's eyes suddenly dilated, as if he was reminded, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
“This guy is really shrewd...”
Jiao Yilang narrowed his eyes and could only admit it now.
Originally, he did not intend to reveal his identity. After all, as a dignified bank manager, it would not sound good if word spread that he participated in this underground auction.
The reason why this auction is underground is that it is relatively hidden, and most people will wear disguises to avoid being discovered.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come, and he didn't expect that just because he came this time, he would see Luo Feng by accident.
When Ke Luofeng said this, he undoubtedly wanted to let others know his identity.
If anything happens to these two antiques by then, it will have something to do with Jiao Yilang and nothing to do with him, Luo Feng.
Seeing Jiao Yilang, the man in the suit was no longer anxious. He also understood the meaning of Luo Feng's words just now.
“I have done some research on them before, and I have a certain degree of certainty.”
"Secondly, I can help you bid at the auction, but we need to discuss the strategy in advance. After all, there are many rich people in today's auction." To put it simply, Jiao Yilang needs Luo Feng to come. Provide funding.
After all, it was impossible for him to help Luo Feng pay the money. These two antiques were the finale, and the price would certainly not be low.
However, he didn't make it clear. He wanted to test Luo Feng's reaction. Maybe he would also pay a sum of money to buy Luo Feng's favor.
Now the entire intercontinental guide is trying every possible means to build a good relationship with Luo Feng, although it has not yet reached the point of flattery.
But if the upper echelons of the intercontinental island favor Luo Feng in the future, it will be too late for them to try to curry favor with him.
Luo Feng looked at Jiao Yilang, still having some doubts in his heart.
When did Jiao Yilang become so good?
But the way he looked at the other party didn't seem like there was any trap.
But he also knew that time was running out and they could not miss this opportunity.
“Okay, we can work together.”
“But you must act according to my instructions and cannot take any unauthorized actions.”
Luo Feng still had to be careful. If Jiao Yilang had any other ways that he didn't see, it would be too late by the time he found out.
Jiao Yilang nodded quickly, "Mr. Luo, don't worry. I will definitely follow your instructions."
“Now, we need to raise funds as soon as possible to ensure that we can successfully photograph these two antiques.”
"How much money do you need?" Luo Feng looked at him lightly.
Jiao Yilang looked at the man in the suit, "Now I have to ask the manager, what is the internal price of these two antiques?"
The man in the suit's face changed slightly, "I don't think I can tell you this well. After all, the internal prices are subject to confidentiality agreements."
“I know there is a confidentiality agreement, but you also know very well in your heart that if we can get these two antiques, then we can also help you with a wave of publicity.”
Jiao Yilang said this just to use his own identity to suppress the other party.
I have to say that this aspect did make the man in the suit hesitate.
He can refuse Luo Feng, but Jiao Yilang is the president of this region and there is no harm in offending him.
Besides, he is just a manager. If he offends Jiao Yilang and causes problems in the entire underground auction, he will definitely be fired.
"You should also know that if I want to give you a surprise inspection or security inspection casually, your underground auction will no longer be open."
Looking at the man in the suit who was already a little shaken, Jiao Yilang became more energetic again.
The man in the suit gritted his teeth and finally decided to reveal some information.
"Well...since Governor Jiao has said so, let me reveal a little bit."
“The starting price of these two antiques is estimated to be no less than 500 million, and with the bidding, the price is likely to soar to more than 200-300 million.”
Luo Feng frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He looked at Jiao Yilang and said, "President Jiao, the price is too high. I'm afraid I can't afford so much money."
“However, these two antiques are very important to me. I wonder what you can do?”
Actually, he is fully capable of spending the money.
But he just wanted to test the other party.
It’s a mule or a horse. You can tell by taking it out for a walk.
Jiao Yilang's heart moved. He had originally intended to get closer to Luo Feng, and naturally he didn't want to miss this opportunity at this time.
"Mr. Luo, we can work together to find ways to raise funds. I also know some capable people who may be able to raise some funds."
Bai Ningbing narrowed her eyes slightly, and she instantly understood what Luo Feng was thinking.
She calmly cooperated with Luo Feng, gently pulled the corner of Luo Feng's clothes, and said worriedly: "Luo Feng, what should I do?"
“If we can’t get these two antiques, all our plans will be ruined.”
Luo Feng pretended to be deep in thought, and after a moment he said, "President Jiao, what do you think of this?"
"You help raise funds first, and after the antiques are taken, I will find a way to return the money to you as soon as possible. I will not let your help go in vain. After the work is completed, I will give you a big thank you."
"this…"
Jiao Yilang hesitated for a moment. He could see the importance of these two antiques to Luo Feng.
He also understood that this was an opportunity to build a closer relationship with Luo Feng, and if he missed it, it might be gone.
"Mr. Luo, since you said so, I will do my best."
“However, raising funds is not an easy task and may take some time.”
Luo Feng nodded, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Jiao. Let's observe the situation of the auction first and then make further plans."
At this time, Jiao Yilang has fallen into Luo Feng's trap.
He was only thinking about pleasing Luo Feng, but he didn't know that he was walking step by step towards the trap set by Luo Feng.
Luo Feng was secretly proud of himself, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to trick Jiao Yilang and make him pay for his greed.
Thigh hugs are also charged!
Besides, Jiao Taijun’s incident also affected his coral island development progress.
Luo Feng This can be regarded as the interest earned by the other party for occupying the space on the coral island so many times before.
As the auction approaches, the atmosphere at the scene gradually becomes tense.
Luo Feng still looked worried on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking about how to make Jiao Yilang sink deeper without knowing it.
Bai Ningbing quietly approached Luo Feng and lowered her voice and said, "Luo Feng, are you really sure you can trick Jiao Yilang? What if he goes back on his word midway?"
The corners of Luo Feng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a confident smile.
“Don’t worry, he wants to curry favor with me now and will not give up this opportunity easily.”
“Besides, even if he goes back on his word, we have nothing to lose.”
At this moment, Jiao Yilang hurriedly walked over, with a trace of anxiety on his face.
“Mr. Luo, I have contacted several people, but the progress of fund-raising is not ideal, and I may not be able to collect enough money before the auction starts.”
Luo Feng frowned and made a disappointed expression.
“President Jiao, I’m not telling you, what should we do? Are we just going to watch these two antiques fall into the hands of others?”
Jiao Yilang said quickly: "Mr. Luo, don't worry, I will think of a way."
“Let’s do this, we can bid first and then slowly raise funds after the antiques are auctioned.”
Luo Feng smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to be hesitant on the surface.
“Isn’t this too risky? If we can’t raise the money by then, we’ll be in trouble.”
Jiao Yilang gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Luo, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to solve the funding problem."
“As long as we can take pictures of the antiques, everything will be fine.”
