Chapter 45: Betrayal and Yangtze River No. 22
Section 1
The Vagabond Organization, Skull and Bones Society, Freemasons, Fuso Mountain Mouth Group, Western Outcast Organization, Dalai Lama Organization, Jiuding Dafa Organization, and other countries interested in the war flag system all secretly sent people to attend Li Wei's auction. For example, the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, the Sixth Bureau of Great Britain, the Mossad of Israel, etc. Among them, the Vagabond Organization, Jiuding Dafa Organization, and Western Outcast Organization are allies, and $500 million is not a sum that any organization can come up with. They all originally had the goal of subverting China, and this time they came together as a group. The Dalai Lama Organization was just here to make a show, and for an organization that relies on donations for activity funds, $500 million is an astronomical figure. They only came to prove that they are anti-China and have real power. The technology of the United States is quite advanced and does not need the war flag system; the CIA just wants to feel out China's bottom line. Great Britain and the United States are allies and will not muddy the waters, while Japan is entirely a vassal state of the United States and naturally follows orders. The most bizarre thing is that North Korea actually sent people too. (Too shameless!)
In the banquet hall of the Wassari Hotel, people from various countries gathered, just like a United Nations assembly. Li Wei, with an air of being the host, frequently raised his glass and chatted with representatives of various organizations, institutions and countries, without showing any signs of being a fugitive in exile. Zhang Yufeng came to Li Wei's side and asked for instructions:
"Everything is ready, everyone has arrived, Dragon Brother, the auction can begin."
"I know, you go ahead and take care of it."
Li Wei walked up onto the stage, took over the microphone and began his speech:
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, welcome to this auction. Before we begin, please allow our host to play a video for everyone."
The lights in the venue suddenly went out completely, and a large screen appeared behind Li Wei. Li Wei began to explain step by step:
"The War Flag series is named after the country names of the Three Kingdoms period, namely Wei, Shu and Wu. The Wu War Flag is equipped with naval vessels and nuclear submarines, invincible in coastal defense, take a look at this exercise effect. The Shu War Flag system is equipped with air force and army, covering all state military regions, numerous and powerful, most suitable for system defense, no blind spots or dead angles. Take a look at this exercise effect. The Wei War Flag system belongs to strategic weapons and space weapons, used for launching spacecraft and nuclear weapons. I won't play this video, it's too terrifying. Huaxia country emphasizes simplicity and effectiveness in its weapons, with the smallest cost for the greatest gain. Such secrets, with a base price of 50 million US dollars, are absolutely worth it, don't worry, raise your paddles, the auction is officially starting! If you have any questions, please ask, I'll answer on site."
People started discussing and arguing about the value of it, some began making phone calls to report to their superiors, an American asked:
"How can we be sure that the intelligence you provide is not fabricated?"
"This question is well asked, I suppose there are many experts present. Welcome everyone to come and verify with me. Each person can only see a small part of it, if I show you all, then this auction will be meaningless."
One after another, people came to Li Wei's side, and finally confirmed that there was no mistake. The vagrant organization raised their sign first, followed by the land-based organization, Skull and Bones Society, and Freemasonry also frequently raised their signs, with the auction price increasing by 1 million...
Section 2
"One billion two hundred million for the first time, gentlemen, are there any further bids? One billion two hundred million for the second time, one billion two hundred million for the third time, sold! The gentleman with the number 5 paddle has successfully bid on this item!" Li Wei walked up to the gentleman with the number 5 paddle. As soon as they shook hands, Li Wei felt something was off. The man had lightly scratched his hand with his pinky finger, and his gaze and expression seemed to linger, refusing to let go of Li Wei's hand. Despite his blond hair and blue eyes, which gave him a foreign appearance, there was a sense of familiarity about him. Li Wei seemed to understand something, and smiled as he asked in fluent English:
"This gentleman is really generous, may I ask your honorable surname and given name, where are you from?"
"Fox, Selva Fox! Nice to meet you, Bruce Lee."
"No, no, no, I'm Li Xiaolong, but not that Bruce Lee. If I had to choose an English name, I'd be Thomas Lee."
"I see, sorry Thomas."
"It's okay, my financial godfather, I'll still have to rely on you to help me make a fortune in the future. Should I take the goods away now? When can I receive the money?"
"It's ready now, hand it over to my assistant!"
"That's great, hope to work with you again next time."
The two people finally let go of each other's tightly clasped hands, Li Wei confirmed that this person was definitely Silver Fox, the English name was too straightforward, you old glass held onto me for so long, what were you trying to do.
Attendees left one after another, and some organizations and countries still didn't give up, even leaving their contact information to discuss the backup issue. Li Wei naturally wouldn't let it go, and he cast a wide net as much as possible. (Li Wei secretly sold the War Flag system for 10 times at a price of $100 million each)
Seeing the Dalai Lama's representative leave in dejection, Li Wei felt that he should not let go of this opportunity and should take advantage of it to get closer, so he chased after him, blocked his way and said:
"Excuse me, sir, may I have a word with you?"
"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" The lama replied very humbly.
"I have always revered Master Laihuofo and yearned to pay my respects to him, hoping that he would bless me by touching my head and allowing me to listen to his Buddhist teachings once." Li Wei bowed deeply with a devout expression.
"The Living Buddha is not someone ordinary people can see just because they want to." The Grand Lama gradually revealed a hint of arrogance.
"If I have the fate to stay near the living Buddha, I can occasionally catch a glimpse of him, even if it's just a glance!" Li Wei said with a smile all over his face.
"Can someone as capable as Mr. Li have such a Buddhist nature? Whether or not there is a Buddhist connection depends on how much effort one has put in normally!"
Li Wei thought to himself "Finally showing his true colors", isn't it just about wanting money? He immediately replied:
"This time, I made a lot of money from the auction, but I'm just a passing wealth god, and only a small part can stay in my hands, barely enough to sustain my life. However, Buddha, I will secretly offer the backed-up intelligence to the Living Buddha, to you, as long as you can take me to pay homage to the Living Buddha."
Li Wei had already seen the back of Da Lama's head laughing, but this big lama was still pretending to be serious, with a serious expression and a serious answer.
"It seems you have a deep Buddhist connection! I still have something to do today, in a few days you go to the northern state of Ladakh, Rada city, when you arrive, you will know where to find me, my name is Qiang Ba. Then we'll meet later, young man, may you be peaceful."
"Thank you, Qiang Ba Buddha, I will definitely bring a thick gift to visit."
Both of them were secretly delighted in their hearts and felt that it was worth coming.
Section 3
Changjiang 22 is flying over Tianzhu, Li Wei, Silver Fox and Qianmian are all on it.
Li Wei: "Silver Fox, you're too talented, and your English name is also too straightforward. Translated directly into Chinese, it's just 'Silver Fox', aren't you afraid of exposing yourself?"
Silver Fox: "Your name is quite pretentious too, Li Xiaolong, isn't it just a bit of kung fu? You're also quite good at showing off!"
Li Wei: "You really can't say that I don't have the capital to pretend, and neither Monk nor Lishi are my opponents."
"Beyond people there are more people, beyond heaven there is more heaven, beware of strong winds..."
Li Wei: "How do you know I'm not an immortal from outer space?"
Qian Mian: "Stop messing around and let's talk business. How long will it take for this fake, super-trojan horse that I made with Yin Hu to be discovered? What's the gold content?"
Li Wei: "I'm usually one who asks and doesn't know three things, let Longjiang 22 answer you."
Yangtze 22: "The Skull will get the most valuable intelligence, but it's all technology they already possess. As for the Trojan horse, it should be discovered soon, but by then we would have obtained a considerable amount of intelligence. The North Korean intelligence is completely wrong and chaotic, but with their current technological level, they can't even detect it, let alone the wooden horse."
Silver Fox: "So Qianmian can continue to lie low in Beihaguo and return with honors. Skull will find out that 100 million US dollars were spent on a wooden horse, I won't be executed, but I'll definitely be sent to the cold palace, Skull's members are lifelong, I'm afraid I need to change my identity."
Li Wei: "Impersonation can be used once or twice, but using it too many times might be dangerous."
Silver Fox: "Little brother, when did you start caring about me?"
Qian Mian: "We can't let any other organization or country know of our existence. Master's secret will be exposed."
Li Wei: "What secret? I used to be your master today, you tell me it's nothing, right?"
Silver Fox: "This is something only Master has the right to reveal, what happened to our Master?"
Li Wei: "Yangtze River 22, bring out their master's situation and let them take a look!"
"Received instructions, please wait..."
