Chapter 399 Temptation
"Damn! Where did you get so much gold?" Zhao Meng asked Yang Jing in surprise. Even when he suddenly saw such gold, he couldn't help but swear.
This is a small independent villa near the Bay Area, located on the hillside. After Yang Jing obtained a green card, Guo Dabao instructed Zhao Meng to spend $4 million to purchase it.
However, Zhao Meng didn't expect that when he came to this small villa again after more than four months, he would find so much gold in the basement of the villa.
"Haha, Uncle Zhao, if I say this is someone's treasure I've got, do you believe it?"
"Someone's treasure?" Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Believe it, why don't you believe it? Even if I don't believe it, the gold in front of me can't lie to me, so I would rather believe that you have obtained someone's treasure."
After a pause, Zhao Meng approached Yang Jing mysteriously and asked in a low voice: "Can you tell Uncle Zhao whose old nest you have dug out?"
"You guess..." Yang Jing said with a smile, and Zhao Meng's face suddenly collapsed, "Uncle Zhao, I can give you a reminder. This guy has been dead for a few years, and he was a very famous dictator when he was alive. Americans hate him very much."
Zhao Meng tilted his head and asked with some uncertainty: "Is it Saddam?" As soon as he said this, he shook his head again, "No, it shouldn't be Saddam's treasure. This guy was indeed rich enough to rival a country when he was in power, but his property has been closely monitored since his death, and Saddam did not have the conditions to hide so much gold privately."
"By the way, if I guess correctly, the owner of this batch of treasures should be Gaddafi!" Zhao Meng said with great certainty.
"Damn!" Even Yang Jing couldn't help but swear, "Uncle Zhao, are you too awesome? Can you even guess this?"
"Hehe, what's the matter? I just guessed the dictator as you just told me, and I can still keep so much gold, especially the gold is produced by the Metel Group. There are not many people in the world who are able to get so many standard gold bricks produced by the Metel Group. Saddam has this power, and Gaddafi has it too."
"But the numbers on these gold bricks all indicate that these gold bricks were produced in 2007. At that time, Saddam was dead, so these gold bricks could not have been left by Saddam. So the most likely one among the remaining people is Gaddafi."
Yang Jing once again gesturing to Zhao Meng, "Uncle Zhao, you guessed that these treasures do come from Gaddafi."
"When did you find these golds? Was it the last time you went to Oham Oilfield? No, you didn't have the time to find Gaddafi's treasure."
"Uncle Zhao, don't guess randomly. When I first came to the United States, didn't I go to the Caribbean for a week? To be precise, it was when I was diving in the shallows of Bacon, and the gold was salvaged from that wreck."
When Zhao Meng heard this, he asked in surprise: "You lost contact for almost a week last time, so you went to catch this gold?"
Yang Jing pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Well, I was afraid that someone would find my location at that time, so I turned off the satellite phone, which made you worried."
"Then let's talk about it." Zhao Meng seemed very interested in the shipwreck.
"Actually, it's nothing. That time I drove out from the Cayman Islands to the Baconivo Shoal. The sea water was good, so I dived and found a sunken yacht more than twenty meters deep. The gold was placed in the cabin of the yacht. There were other things in it, except gold, and there were all here."
Yang Jing said, taking out the boxes containing diamonds and bearer bonds.
"When I found out that these gold and these things were sealed in this sealed weapon box because the seal was very good and there was no water in it. I took more than two days to catch these things bit by bit, and then sealed them in a wooden box and smuggled them here."
Looking at the diamonds and those unknown bonds, Zhao Meng's eyes were almost glaring out.
"Damn! You guy's luck is really..." Maybe today is the day when Zhao Meng swears the most in the past decade. He can't tolerate him not swearing. It's really the things that Yang Jing took out were so shocking.
Forty tons of gold are worth $1.4 billion; these ten small boxes of diamonds are at least $20 million; as for these bearer bonds, the face value is as high as $600 million, which is more than $2 billion!
As for the 80 million euro cash that Yang Jing took out, with a denomination of 500 yuan, it was cash and easy to exchange.
Of course, Zhao Meng didn't know that this was only part of Gaddafi's treasure. Yang Jing did not take out the red sapphire, black opal, and Libyan gold meteorite glass. Yang Jing also left two boxes of diamonds by himself. As for the golden mask and golden scepter, Yang Jing was even more unlikely to take out the gold.
The things he took out today are all things that can be directly cashed out, and are also things that are easier to cash out.
"Then how do you want to deal with these things?" Zhao Meng asked. Seeing that Yang Jing did not want to talk about this treasure in detail, Zhao Meng was very sensible and stopped asking more questions, but directly changed the topic.
"It's very simple, Uncle Zhao, I want to ask you to exchange these things for cash. I have an investment now that requires a lot of funds, so it's best to exchange them all for circulating cash."
Zhao Meng touched his chin and thought for a long time before saying, "I can exchange this 80 million euros for a small denomination euro. Of course, if you are willing to exchange it for US dollars, it is not difficult. The exchange of these bearer bonds takes a certain amount of time. After all, these bonds are not just US Treasury bonds, but also the Treasury bonds of many European countries. I need a certain amount of time to exchange them."
"Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Meng waved his hand and said, "These are nothing, it's just that these golds are a bit troublesome, but not difficult. This is the gold brick of the METAL Group, but the standard gold brick. It's not difficult to take action, but the price will fluctuate a little."
"It doesn't matter. As long as it can be exchanged for cash, it doesn't matter if the price is lower. Anyway, I picked up these things."
Zhao Meng nodded, "Since you have no objection to the price, then give me half a month, I will exchange all these golds for US dollars. And I also need time to process these diamonds. Your batch of diamonds are all carat naked diamonds, and the number is so large, it is a bit unrealistic to deal with so many carat naked diamonds in a short period of time, and it will take some time."
Yang Jing said sincerely: "Uncle Zhao, I'll trouble you with these things. According to the industry's rules, if you can handle these things, you can get 10% of the hard work fee."
When Zhao Meng heard this, he waved his hand quickly, "This is not OK. How can I ask for your money?"
"Uncle Zhao, I believe you know the rules in this regard. If you work hard to do these things, you must pay the hard work. If you really follow the rules in the industry, you will have to get at least 20% or even 30%. I will only give you 10%, which is already aggrieved you."
Zhao Meng said, "But that is different from this one. I have done a lot of things in this area before, but most of them are things that cost millions of up to 10 million US dollars. I don't think it's too hot to take 20%. Your transaction amount is too large, but this involves more than 2 billion US dollars. Even if I get 10%, it's too hot. No, I can't take this money."
"Uncle Zhao, are you forcing me to not let you deal with these things? If you don't get 10%, I would rather leave this deal to someone else. The reason I only look for you now is because I believe in you, and at the same time I also look forward to better and longer-term cooperation between us!" Yang Jing has always believed that there is no reason to gain without giving. Even if the relationship is good, Zhao Meng must get some benefits. Only when the two have common interests can some things be kept more confidential and safer.
It’s like Cesar and the others have Mike Aller and Yang Jing who are speculating, they are always willing to pay dividends to them, and their regular points are hundreds of millions of dollars.
But I have to say that the effect of this dividend is very good. At least a few of them are tight-lipped about the affairs of the Dragon Fund. There are not many people who really know about the affairs of the Dragon Fund.
Now this batch of Gaddafi's treasures also need to be kept confidential, so Yang Jing is not stingy with the money to Zhao Meng. As long as the two have common interests, the matter will be completely settled.
In this world, no matter family, friendship or other friendships, they are sometimes fragile in the face of huge wealth. Instead of breaking up this friendship, why not use common interests to maintain this friendship in advance?
Anyway, these things are picked up, and Yang Jing believes that it is the most appropriate to pay 10% of them to safeguard the friendship and interests of both parties.
As long as this matter is done, then in the future, I and Zhao Meng will be people on the same boat - those people on the same boat in the true sense!
Yang Jing still admires Zhao Meng very much, and in the future he also needs such a person to deal with some shameful things for himself, especially after taking over the Dragon Fund, Zhao Meng is a very qualified butler, even more qualified than Mike Aller. Lin Dan is still too immature now, and it will take a long time to train him.
During this period, with Zhao Meng's ability, he could definitely bear to add another burden to him.
Therefore, Yang Jing has a tentative idea this time.
Obviously, Zhao Meng immediately understood this kind of temptation. After he lowered his head and thought for a long time, he looked up and said, "I hope I can continue to work hard with Lao Guo in the future. Of course, if you have something to do if you need me, just open your mouth."
Yang Jing smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, I am also a major shareholder of Rongbao Mining. Naturally, I will not do anything that will harm Rongbao Mining. On the contrary, if you have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, with you, this kind of cooperation will definitely be a win-win or even a win-win thing."
