Chapter 851 The Loveless Old Mike

Not all of Rockwell's paintings are of high value, at least the three paintings in front of me are not comparable to his several oil paintings that fetched high prices in terms of size and artistry.

But Yang Jing was indeed very pleasantly surprised.Yang Jing does not lack famous Western paintings, even Beethoven, Raphael, Cézanne, Ingres, Monet, Rusbon, Rembrandt and other world-class paintings in his hands, but this The three paintings really brought surprises to Yang Jing.

As mentioned earlier, Rockwell’s studio caught fire in 1943. As a result, all the manuscripts he had kept were burned by the fire. Even if a small part of Rockwell’s original works were rescued at that time, the number is extremely precious. .

Now there are three pictures at once, which is of course a surprise.

If these three paintings are placed 20 years later, let alone 70 yuan, it is estimated that they can be photographed with two zeros added later.

Of course Yang Jing would not auction off these three paintings. He is not short of money now, and these three paintings can just supplement the collection of the Grand Canal Museum.

Seeing the boss's satisfied and surprised expression, Old Mike's task today is considered complete.

His wife, Vivienne, is now determined to be fine, and her health is getting better and better. People in their 60s are no worse than people in their 30s, both physically and mentally.

Of course, Old Mike knew that it was Yang Jing's handwriting, so Old Mike was very grateful for it.It's just that the old man is not very good at expressing his feelings, so he can only repay this kindness by doing things for Yang Jing constantly.

Although Old Mike is over [-] years old, his body and energy are still quite good. Although he gave Yang Jing a surprise this time, Yang Jing did not intend to let this old guy go.

Who made him look so relaxed.

Did not say, add burden!
So, on the second day after visiting those two galleries, Old Mike almost cried with a sad face.

His sister, I just washed the three hundred tons of gold, why did you get so much gold again?This pile must be at least [-] tons!

Seeing Old Mike's sad face, Yang Jing laughed happily.

"Mike, there is an idiom in ancient China that can best reflect your ability now, that is, grow old and strong, which means that a man like you will become stronger the older you get. So, don't be intimidated by the little gold in front of you. , you need to continue washing them!"

"Cole, why don't we play with it like this? It will kill people like this."

"Hey, take a look at this batch of gold first, look carefully, and see if you can guess the origin of this batch of gold."

Hearing this, Lao Lao's curiosity was immediately aroused.Don't look at his sad face, but he is very happy in his heart.Although it is difficult to launder the gold, but with the previous experience, the more than 300 tons of gold are nothing to him.The most important thing is that you must be the boss's absolute confidant to do this kind of thing, and you can absolutely not do this kind of work if you just arrest someone.

Whether it was Henry, David, or Amanda, they all had the ability to launder the gold, but the boss never let them intervene, not even Cesar.

At present, only I have the qualifications to do this!

In this regard, Old Mike is very grateful to the boss for his attention.

It's just that the boss's words seem to be saying that this batch of gold is tricky?

So take a look?
Just look at it!
So Old Mike took out his reading glasses and put them on again, then grabbed a gold brick with great difficulty and observed carefully.

Looking at it, Old Mike's face changed.Immediately, he put down the gold brick in his hand, grabbed several gold bricks of different sizes and observed them carefully.

"Cole, is this the missing batch of gold from the legendary last tsar?" After a long time, Old Mike raised his head and asked in shock.

Yang Jing nodded, "That's right, this batch of gold is the gold of the last tsar who disappeared that year, but this is only part of it."

"Cole, did you really find the legendary gold? Sixteen hundred tons?"

Yang Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "I found that batch of gold, but the quantity is not that much, about [-] tons."

"Then the amount is wrong! Now there is clear evidence that the batch of gold that was shipped out of St. A hundred tons were taken away, and then sank in Lake Baikal?"

Looking at the expression of old Mike's eyes shining, Yang Jing knew that the enthusiasm for treasure hunting in the old guy's heart had been aroused, so Yang Jing resolutely poured water on it.

"I don't know how much gold Kolchak took away back then, but what is certain is that I searched the bottom of Lake Baikal and found no gold that sank at the bottom of the lake. So, even if Kolchak I took away [-] tons of gold that year, and it is probably hidden somewhere. Without clues, that batch of gold is hard to find."

Hearing this, Old Mike shook his head regretfully and sighed, then he jumped up again, "Cole, don't tell me you have [-] tons of gold in your hands besides the [-] tons of gold, etc. Clean it up!"

"Yeah, that's what I mean. I think that if all the [-] tons of gold are taken out at once, the difficulty of laundering will definitely increase geometrically, so I hid that batch of gold somewhere. Little by little whitewashing, it is not easy to be discovered."

"Christ Jesus, please forgive me." Old Mike looked hopeless.

"Take your time, don't worry, I hope you can work for me until I'm 90 years old!" Yang Jing laughed and said this, turned around and left here.

Yang Jing didn't have to worry about the rest at all. With old Mike's ability, it would take at most two years for this batch of gold to be cleared.Last time, in order to launder the 43 tons of gold, Yang Jing even asked Niam Wilson to secretly acquire a large amount of shares in Newmont Mining in the name of Black Rock Group and Pioneer Fund. The shares have reached [-]%. If Yang Jing is willing, he can complete the acquisition of Newmont Mining in a very short period of time.

It's just that Yang Jing didn't do that.Originally, Yang Jing was going to keep a low profile. Of course, he would not expose the KY investment fund or even Atlantic Capital on Newmont Mining.

With the world's second-ranked gold producer as a cover, it is relatively easy for Old Mike to launder the gold this time.

After walking out of Old Mike's office, Yang Jing met with Henry Williams and Amanda again, and after exhorting some things that should be paid attention to, he traveled back to modern time and space.

This time Yang Jing stayed in the space-time in 1996 for a total of 1996 days, because the space-time in 30 was still within the 1-year space-time node, so according to the time flow rate of 8:[-], the time-space now is only two years past. God.

After coming out of the bedroom, Yang Jing checked the door and found that the silk thread tied to the door was not broken, so Yang Jing knew that no one had been here these two days.

He opened the refrigerator and looked, and found that there were not many vegetables and meat left in it, so he planned to go out and do some shopping.

The ground outside was still covered by heavy snow, except for the road that had been cleared, there were basically no other colors in the field except white.

The Missouri River, which was still flowing two days ago, was completely silent at this time, and the surface of the river was completely frozen.

After putting on the down jacket, Yang Jing opened the door, and the cold wind like a knife that rushed towards him made him shiver involuntarily.

The air was very cold, and Yang Jing reckoned that it would be at least twenty degrees below zero.This temperature is rare in Montana at the end of October, which also proves the strength of this cold wave from the side.

No one came these two days, and Yang Jing never went out, so the place remained the same as it was two days ago.

A line of snow holes extended directly from the outside of the porch to the agricultural machinery warehouse. It was stepped on when Roy Jones went to the agricultural machinery warehouse to drive a tractor in the early morning of the second snowy day.

Yang Jing tried to step on the snow outside, but when he stepped down, the snow directly reached his knees.And after two days of freezing, the snow at this time is far less soft than two days ago, and the snow at this time is hard to step on.

Yang Jing knew that if the temperature doubled to minus [-] degrees, the snow would be completely frozen, and stepping on it would be like stepping on concrete.

After struggling to move to the garage door, Yang Jing realized that he had made a big mistake, that is, he didn't clear the snow in front of the door while the snow was soft.

From the door of the house to the road, there is at least a distance of more than 40 meters.It was easy to clean when it first snowed, but now the snow is in a semi-frozen state, how should it be cleaned?

"Laziness kills!" Yang Jing stood in front of the garage where even the gate was frozen with snow, wishing he could yell!

This situation is really embarrassing, but Yang Jing's mind is turning quickly, it is obviously impossible to use a broom to clear the snow now, but in the agricultural machinery warehouse we still have a big killer for clearing the snow.

I didn't say anything, just do it when I think of it!

I wobbled to the agricultural machinery warehouse, opened the door and went in to fiddle with it for a while, the roar of John Deere tractor engine sounded in the warehouse.

With this big guy with full horsepower, let alone such snow, even if the snow is frozen, this big guy can solve it.

Sitting in a warm and comfortable cab, I manipulated this big guy to work in front of my house for half an hour. The large snow in front of the door was completely swept aside, and the distance from the door to the road was more than 40 meters. It was cleaned by Roy Jones with a tractor before, but Yang Jing was still not satisfied, so he drove this big guy to clean it again, completely clearing a road nearly five meters wide.

Sit in the BMW X5, turn on the car, and turn on the radio, and a very familiar melody came out.

“. West Virginia, Mountain Mama, Take me home, country roads”

This song is exactly Yang Jing's favorite piece of American country music - "Take me home, country roads", which translates into Chinese as "Country Road, Take Me Home".
