The Youngest Son of Sunyang

[266] Stealth Gallery 4

Beth Porter drank soothing water from grime to ease her bloated insides.

It was the first time that Beth Porter actually faced the auction house because the director of the Crucible Art Foundation, the largest hand in the art world, had taken over the auction house in front of the agent.

However, he did not even look at himself, and the appalling attitude of looking down was no different from that of a white supremacist who treated his skin in a chaotic manner.

“I think the terms of the contract will be fine. But we've added a more robust provision, so please check. ”

If it weren't for the lawyer who came with the chairman, he would have fallen on the board already. Fluent English and gentlemanly courtesy supported her patience.

“You'll have to pay triple the penalty if we find out the disclosure and default of the transaction and the cause is the Wentworth Art Gallery. ”

Bette Porter did not forget to ask for Jindo.

Sign the contract!

It was a promise that everything would be fine if only it could be obtained.

“Very well, but I think this clause should apply equally to both parties. ”

The lawyer glares at her answer.

“Oh, right. By the way... is the person who wants this piece private, not a gallery? Wentworth Art Gallery is just a representative...? ”

“You don't have to answer that because it's not in the contract, right? ”

She does not miss the twitching of the old woman's eyebrows, sitting recklessly. That old lady definitely understands English.

“Oh, excuse me. ”

The lawyer lowered his head lightly and retracted the documents.

“This is an insurance policy. As a matter of our part, it is a certificate that we will immediately pay 3 times the transaction amount - $1.8 billion - when the contents of the contract are disclosed and if any of the contents of the contract are violated. I'd like to avoid the hassle of standing in court for breach of contract. ”

I didn't expect it to come this far. The lawyer glanced at Bette Porter's insurance policy, slightly raising her mouth.

“If you think about the financial condition of a small gallery in New York, isn't this safeguarding? We don't think you or Wentworth Gallery can afford $1.8 billion. So you need a clear line of safety. Do you understand?”

“Oh, yes. ”

“Our foundation's credibility is global, so it doesn't cost much to buy insurance, because it's $5.4 million…. It worked cheap.”

Bette Porter was blinded by the thought of her gallery. With 5.4 million dollars in the background of the Korean oyster group, his claim will surpass $10 million.

She was equally ashamed of herself for laughing at the Song Secretary. Representatives without decisive authority should be seen in front of them.

“Will you excuse me for a moment? Give me a call... ”

As she took out her phone, the song secretary who was sitting with her said with a big smile.

“Whatever.”

Beth Porter hurriedly comes out with a red face.

As she disappeared, Lady Lee Pil-ok opened her mouth.

“I don't know who she's calling right now, but she's a watermelon. ”

“I see. I think I've got a great sponsor. ”

“In the end, a woman with a face is more of a weapon than a head. Naughty things.”

Confident that she had already used the flesh to successfully navigate the path, she kicked her tongue and drenched her lips with wine, and Bette Porter stepped in lightly.

“I'm going to buy insurance right now. We'll get back to you tomorrow at the latest. ”

“You're a quick decision maker. ”

Bette Porter woke up from her seat after the thumping of the Song Secretary was in her ear.

“I apologize for my rudeness earlier. Mr. Song.”

When Song's secretary was embarrassed by the polite apology, she said to everyone.

“I'll bring the insurance papers tomorrow, and then I'll sign the contract. Sure."

As Beth Porter tried to collect the contract, she heard a harsh voice. In clear English.

“Wait a Second”

Ms. Lee took the contract placed on the table in front of her and forcefully signed it.

After signing, she pushes up the chair.

“I don't have to see you twice, do I? ”

Ms. Lee Pil-ok, who finished her speech in clear English, instructed her Song secretary to do something and immediately disappeared.

“We'll take the contract to the gallery tomorrow. That's when you get your insurance policy. Are you sure?”

“Of course.”

Beth Porter shakes hands with two men and walks away.

Fraud of 600 billion won.

The proof of that fraud is now in my hands.

Of course, it will only take effect after you receive the painting and send the money.

“When does the painting come in? ”

“They are arriving after the full moon. ”

“Full moon?”

“Yes.”

We don't even have time to prepare for counterfeiting in a full day. It's urgent. Plus, it means they're coming in by plane, not by boat... Smuggling usually reminds me of a ship.

What kind of a way do you think you can fly?

“How long will it take to feel the painting? ”

“It's going to take two months. Of course, the original would be shorter. ”

“Is the original shorter? ”

“Yes, it's usually called Blink's Law... ”

Blink means blink. What do you mean this is the law?

“Experts feel it the first time they see it. No matter how sophisticated a forgery may be, there is something objectionable. But no matter how old they are, they're resilient by themselves. ”

“So when you feel weird, you start to do a thorough exam? If it's authentic, why don't you test it? ”

Bette Porter smiled a little.

“No. You can trust it to be authentic, but you have to test it. Instead, it feels like a forgery, and every time you run a test, you get the result that it's authentic. And that takes a lot of time. We need to trace back to the sales path of the picture. ”

“You don't believe the test results are authentic? ”

“There are still times when human aesthetics are more accurate than physics and chemistry. ”

The contract in my hand takes three months to become a definite weapon.

“I see. Then we're done here. Well done. We'll be assisting you this month, so be sure to turn it into a great gallery. ”

Bette Porter's expression was incredibly bright, as if she had been involved in something strange, but the results were good.

After she returned, I called Korea.

“Senior Vice President Wu. Bring your smart friends to New York so they don't get lost, even in unfamiliar places. Let's take a few days off and get back to work after the full moon. ”

* * *

“Yes? Ms. Lee Pil-ok herself? ”

“Yes, sir. What you've been investigating turned out to be a reality. ”

Comrade Woo Byeong-jun lost his horse for a while. It would be far beyond his imagined scale and the amount would be hard to imagine.

“So this time we're smuggling 600 billion won? ”

“Yes.”

The look on Woo's face turned dark after checking the amount.

“Madam, no matter how much you catch this woman's weakness, 600 billion is too much. No matter how much money you leave behind, you're bleeding too much. ”

I thought it was awkward to attack my grandmother, but it wasn't. I was worried about my money.

“Sir.”

“Yes.”

Even if I smile and say it, his face still doesn't look good.

“How many drops of blood do you call bleeding from a needle? ”

“Yes? What is it...? ”

“That's what 600 billion is to me. And it's not the money my grandfather left me to spend on this. That money will only be used to strengthen my position in Korea. ”

Then Comrade Wu, who caught the feeling, opened his mouth.

“I have a lot of money. If the money had gone to a fight, the seat of Circle Group Chairman would already be mine. There are so many stocks you can't even buy with money, you have to do this. ”

I still enjoyed Woo's silent expression for a moment.

“Anyway, sir. ”

“Oh, yes. ”

“In a few days, painting will come to the gallery. Please step behind the staff and the painting delivery boy. ”

"Smuggling? ”

“Yes, what I don't understand is flight. How to smuggle the painting onto an airplane.... ”

“You don't know flights, do you? ”

“Yes, maybe JFK or NEWARK. So we have no choice but to track the carriage. ”

“Very well. I'll get the children ready. But what about offshore accounts? ”

“It's just a Virgin Islands account. We can't find this on our own. I have to figure it out through my grandmother. ”

“Either way, this lady won't get out of your hands. ”

“Let's get a little greedy. If we dig up the transport wagon, we'll find something else. This is my chance to clear out my grandmother's list of assets. Huhu.”

I wanted to run to the gallery and see the painting, but I had to wait at the hotel.

The gallery is now starting to feel drawings. Of course, the grandmothers will attend and keep their positions until the end, because if anyone knows my face, things might go wrong.

I waited anxiously for the phone call.

The first person to call was Bette Porter.

She even said, weeping.

- Howard, I don't know how to thank you for giving me the chance to see this masterpiece in person.

“Is it authentic?”

- Yes, this is the common opinion of all the experts who attended. It's authentic.

I didn't hear anything else.

I hung up Bette Porter's phone and immediately called Korea.

“Deputy Kim. Get me the official list of works of the Circuit Art Foundation and email it to me now. ”

He also checked the website of the cruise gallery. I have searched through all the announcements and notifications, but there are no articles about selling pictures.

I wanted to deposit the money and conclude the illegal transaction right now, but I couldn't create a suspicious situation, so I had to wait two months. But I don't think this is going to change.

Executive Director Woo Byung-jun returned to the hotel after it was too late.

His face was completely frozen.

“Chief, it looks like they're using the Foreign Ministry. ”

“The Foreign Ministry?”

“Yes, it was two teams. employees of cruise New York corporations and the New York consulate. I was a little late checking on their house. ”

It was ridiculous, but I thought of this first.

My grandmother is amazing.

“I mean, there's an old lady with legs that stretches all the way to the Foreign Ministry, but if anyone knows who that is, this fight is over. ”

“Maybe. It would be the best for someone that size.... You'll know where the money is hidden. ”

Uncle Wu glanced at me and said.

“I'm meeting with the consulate staff. Wouldn't it be easier to figure out how far they know and how good the head of this place is? ”

Public officials are easy. They have stricter rules than civilians, so if you threaten them a little, they'll blow your whiskey. You can choose betrayal at any time if you put your retirement pension on on top of it.

“I'll get the carrots ready. Use the whipped merchant. ”

“A whip is enough for these guys. It's enough carrots with hair on them. Huhu.”

He is very reliable.

He's good at his job and saves money.

I need to make sure I have enough money for this guy's retirement.
