You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

Zheng Yun was in high spirits.

Obviously he is very interested in re-enacting the story of the British Museum. This is his own territory. If he does it right, he might be able to hide a few treasures.

He made a fortune by doing business, so he just collected this little hobby.

When Zhong Guoliang opened his own museum, two collections were robbed from him.

Zheng Yun has always been worried about this matter.

"How about we join forces and defeat him!"

Xu Yi gave Zheng Yun a very embarrassed look, then shook his head and said:
"Old Zheng, it's not that I don't agree with you."

"It is really……"

"No rush."

After a pause, Xu Yi continued: "I still have important things to deal with at home, so I have to rush back. Otherwise, there will be big problems until the end of the year. Besides, planning such an action requires careful planning. The planning and deployment also require the cooperation of the team. It is really impossible for the two of us to do it."

When Zheng Yun heard this, he was not discouraged.

If Xu Yi blindly agreed, he would still be a little unsure.

Now Xu Yi is so cautious, but Zheng Yun feels that something can be done.

Isn't it just careful planning and deployment? What is this?Isn't it just a team? Zheng Yun has a company here. What kind of talent does he not have?
There is definitely no problem in making suggestions.

"it's okay no problem."

Zheng Yun gave Xu Yiman another cup of tea, and then said: "You are right, this kind of matter must be considered in the long term. Otherwise, brother Xu, it will take two days to get your identity information anyway, so I might as well get it tomorrow." You go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not just a visit, it’s just a tourist, taking a tour.”

Xu Yi was dubious.

Old Zhong, Old Zhong, is the friend you introduced reliable?
Why do you feel like you're selling me out?

Zheng Yundu said it for this reason, so Xu Yi had no choice but to agree.

Come here!
It’s also great to be a tourist to broaden your horizons and gain insights.

That night, Xu Yi checked into a five-star hotel in Queens under Zheng Yun's arrangement.It was naturally windless and rainless that night, and the wind of Great Britain could not reach the land of the beautiful country.

Early the next morning.

Zheng Yun had been waiting at the door of the hotel early. After Xu Yi came down and had breakfast together, he drove himself and took Xu Yi to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is located on Fifth Avenue.

This world-famous avenue gathers famous tourist landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and Broadway.

Zheng Yun became Xu Yi's tour guide.

"Brother Xu, it's your first time here. I'm shameless enough to act as your tour guide. This museum is quite large... By the way, I haven't asked Brother Xu yet, what kind of industry are you engaged in in China? "

Xu Yi touched his nose and said ashamedly:

"I make a living in the entertainment industry."

When Zheng Yun heard this, his eyes widened, thinking that he had heard wrongly.

Entertainment?
star?

Lao Zhong would actually find someone from the entertainment industry to participate in that kind of mission?Isn't this noisy?Hmm... maybe the identity in the entertainment industry is just a superficial identity.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yun smiled and said:
"Brother Xu is joking. With your ability, if you want to make money, you can make money faster than in the entertainment industry."

Xu Yi: "I just love it."

Hobby?

Zheng Yun showed an "I understand you" expression on his face, then put his arm around Xu Yi's shoulders and said:

"Understand, understand."

"That's not what us men make money for. I understand."

"However, I still have to say one more thing. In fact, if you want to play, you can have money. There is no need to join the entertainment industry. And, I am not just talking about you, the entertainment industry is too chaotic and not fun. "

"If you want to play, why not stay a few more days and I will take you."

Xu Yi: "..."

Is this what I just expressed?
No, Lao Zheng, you have a lot of information!

The interest I mentioned and the interest you mentioned are not the same interest.Xu Yi was helpless and had no choice but to explain:
"no no."

"Old Zheng, you misunderstood me. I mean, I enjoy activities such as acting on shows, writing songs and singing. That's why I make a living in the entertainment industry."

Zheng Yun ignored it: "It's the same, it's the same."

After all, he is still young and cannot put aside his face.Can I still not understand you?How many people in the entertainment industry have interests other than this?

After leading Xu Yi into the museum.

The two people's focus finally shifted from the relationship between men and women in the entertainment industry to the museum's collection.

Zheng Yun has obviously done his homework, which also shows his level and knowledge as a collector.

"Brother Xu, come and see this."

The two people came to a temple-like building and listened to Zheng Yun's introduction: "This thing is called the Temple of Dendur. It's something from ancient Rome and has a history of more than 2000 years. It's spectacular, right? It's a pity that it occupies a large area. It’s hard to put it away when you take it home, and you have to build a separate house for it.”

Xu Yi: "..."

Brother, you just take it home when you say it or not. Is this really okay?
You were overheard by the museum staff, and you were not allowed to send two people squatting on the spot to stare at you?

Zheng Yun stood in front of the Dendur Temple and sighed with emotion:
"If you want to say this thing is valuable, I really don't know how to appreciate it. Isn't it just made of a few larger bricks? From an artistic point of view, an aesthetic point of view, and an architectural point of view, there is nothing to say. Maybe... a bit It has historical research value.”

Xu Yi murmured: "The historical value is even greater."

Many things may not be as good as modern handicrafts in terms of quality and workmanship, but it is precisely because they have experienced that special history and have historical value that their value has doubled.

Zheng Yun obviously doesn't like studying these.

He pulled Xu Yi and soon walked to another painting.

This painting has its origins.

Even a layman like Xu Yi seemed to have seen this painting online.

"Not unfamiliar, right?"

"Washington crossing the Delaware River! This painting can be said to be the treasure of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Even if it is not ranked first, it is still ranked in the top five. This painting is really good, I tell you There are many people in the United States who are willing to pay $[-] million if it can be done."

Zheng Yun's definition of "good" is actually defined from the price dimension.

Is this big brother really a collector?
Zheng Yun looked at the painting, his eyes obviously bright, and he continued: "It's strange to say that this painting depicts the story of Washington, but it was painted by a German. You probably haven't You know, this painting was bought for $170 [-] years ago."

"Six years ago!"

"Do you know what ten thousand dollars was 170 years ago?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, actually it's quite good to collect. There's no need to sell it."

Xu Yi: "..."

He found that chatting with Zheng Yun was dangerous.

This guy, no matter what exhibit he sees, will use a price to measure it, and then tell you how valuable this thing is, and you will naturally plant a seed in your heart to sell it.

So how can you sell it?

Of course, get it first.

Once this seed is planted, it is very dangerous.

He changed the topic and said with a smile:
"Old Zheng, we are here to see the exhibition, not the auction."

Zheng Yun said plausibly: "The price is one of the reasons why these things can be placed here, and their charm is doubled. Understand its past, its price, it is not a bad thing, it is not a bad thing." Xu Yi surrendered completely.

The two of them briefly walked around several main exhibition halls.

The look is not detailed.

If you really want to see the entire Metropolitan Museum of Art carefully, it will probably take you two or three days.Xu Yi obviously doesn't have that much time. He has to leave the day after tomorrow, or at most tomorrow.

However, after just a day of shopping like this, I was exhausted and overwhelmed.

For dinner, Zheng Yun chose the restaurant.

He specially booked a private room and "conspired" with Xu Yi.

On this day, the prices revealed by Zheng Yun amounted to at least a hundred billion.As soon as he sat down, he heard Zheng Yun eagerly say: "How about it, Brother Xu, do you have any ideas?"

Yes, I want to have a good meal.

Xu Yi smiled bitterly and answered Zheng Yun's words:
"Old Zheng, I know what you want to say. It's just this matter... I really can't handle it."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zheng Yun was not surprised at all, "Even if we are going to do it, it won't be for a day or two. The Chinese New Year is coming soon at home, so we will wait until after the Chinese New Year. During this time, I will arrange the arrangements ahead. "

Xu Yi: "???"

No, who are you and Zhong Guoliang?

Really an entrepreneur?
Why don't you two look like serious entrepreneurs? Why do you just do things like rob someone's house and do it at your fingertips, and make plans whenever you want?This is illegal!

Xu Yi originally participated in this operation in Great Britain because he wanted to get something for the country.

Taking it back will also be the wealth of more than one billion people.

Everyone can learn about the past history of the Dragon Kingdom from these cultural relics.

This can be regarded as a simple "acting chivalrously and doing justice".

But if he went to steal a museum purely for money, Xu Yi would definitely refuse such a thing.This is not a double standard, but Xu Yi has his own criteria for judging.

After thinking about it, Xu Yi decided to make things clear.

Otherwise, it would be bad if Zheng Yun misunderstood that he was half-hearted.

After he pondered for a while, he said solemnly:

"Old Zheng, first of all, I am very grateful to you for helping me return to China in a foreign country where I was desperate. Secondly, regarding the matter of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I think it is better to forget it."

"Even if it was the British Museum, I wouldn't do it a second time."

"It was only after this operation that I realized that the only way to get the big powers to return our things is through country-to-country negotiations and the strength of the country. This road may be difficult to walk, and it will take a generation, It took two or even three generations of hard work, but it’s still the right path.”

"It doesn't mean much for us to fight in such a small way."

Xu Yi rarely said a lot of words, which made Zheng Yun look at him with admiration.

He didn't answer.

But I have to agree with Xu Yi, coming back upright is the right way, even if it takes several generations of hard work.Zheng Yun's previous considerations were more from the perspective of a businessman.

After a long while, Zheng Yuncai said dumbly:
"Brother Xu taught me a lesson today."

"This lesson is well worth it."

"It's just that I didn't expect that I didn't hear these words from the director of the National Museum, but I heard them from Brother Xu. Brother Xu, are you really in the entertainment industry?"

Xu Yi smiled and said, "It will be replaced if it's fake."

The atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed.

Just listen to Xu Yi continue to say:

"Speaking of this, I sang a song at the Main Station's Mid-Autumn Festival party before. Lao Zheng, have you heard of it?"

"What song?" Zheng Yun can be said to have no concern for the domestic entertainment industry.

Mrs. Xu Yi was so good that she praised herself and said:
"The moon represents my heart, it's very hot."

Originally, he thought that Zheng Yun had probably never heard of it.Unexpectedly, after hearing the name of this song, Zheng Yun looked at Xu Yi with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Did you sing this song?!"

Xu Yi: "Have you heard of it?"

"Not only have I heard it!"

Zheng Yun showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then said exaggeratedly:

"It seems like last month, I heard this song from a friend, and then came back to download it. I was so surprised, I really didn't expect that, brother Xu, you are actually the creator of this song, this is amazing Alright?"

"You don't know yet, do you?"

"Now in the beautiful country, your song is very popular!"

"Whether it's a young person or a middle-aged person like me, you can hum a few lines. It's really catchy."

After saying this, Xu Yi felt a little embarrassed.

Originally, I wanted to prove to myself that I was really from the entertainment industry, but I didn't expect to meet a fan of my own. This was... an unexpected gain?

Of course, Zheng Yun is not a teenage fan.

They won’t ask for signatures or photos.

For people of Zheng Yun's level, being a star is just that.What surprised him was that Xu Yi was a "real star". A real star could actually complete a task like the British Museum. Even a movie wouldn't dare to be shot like this, right?
Xu Yi said modestly:
"Actually singing is not my strong point."

"Then what are your strengths..." Zheng Yun asked subconsciously.

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment.

Yes, what are your strengths?
It can't be said that it's just unlocking the door and pretending to be in disguise. It's a bit unflattering.After thinking about it, Xu Yi said uncertainly:

"My strength is probably catching fish."

“It’s a lot of fun to fish at work.”

As soon as they said this, the two of them laughed unconsciously.

After the meal, Zheng Yun didn't mention the Metropolitan Museum of Art's conspiracy again. Xu Yi had already talked about it for this reason, and it would be meaningless to mention it again.It can only be said that fate has not come yet. Maybe one day fate will come, and this conspiracy will be put on the agenda again.

One day later, Xu Yi's new identity information was obtained.

Flying directly from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, before boarding the plane, Zheng Yun specially came to see her off.

"Brother Xu, let's meet again during the Chinese New Year! This time we are too pressed for time and the reception is not good enough. When the time comes, call out Lao Zhong and let's have a drink."

Xu Yi felt ashamed: "Old Zheng, if you say that, I won't dare to come to Beautiful Country again!"

"Haha~"

Zheng Yun was a forthright person and immediately said:

"Go, the plane is taking off."

The thrilling journey to the British Museum is finally coming to an end.

At the moment when the plane just took off, Xu Yi finally heard
