Chapter 79 Van Gogh’s Masterpieces
Ori Kagami didn't know everything that happened on Amuro's side. She was extremely reassured about Amuro and only needed to keep an eye on Suzuki Jirokichi's press conference.

There were already a lot of people at the venue. Everyone was holding a huge camera, their eyes were shining, and they were all looking forward to the appearance of the wealthy businessman who bought the sunflowers at a high price.

Zhi Jing leaned against the wall, folded his hands, hugged his chest, waited for the earphones in his ears to ring, and asked in a melodious voice: "Are you all ready?"

"Yes." A young voice sounded in the earphones: "We are all outside. When Mr. Bourbon finds the sunflower storage place, we can take action."

Zhi Jing twisted his neck and leaned against the wall lazily: "If I can get it at once, I will give you a reward."

"Of course there is no problem." The man's voice was very happy, but also filled with doubts: "Why are you so anxious, Miss Brandy?"

If the leader of the team were to be replaced by someone else, that person might not dare to ask, but this time it was Brandy, who had a reputation for being gentle and gentle. Every time he led the team, he was generous and well-paid, with very few casualties. The members of the organization have an incompatible and friendly personality. Many people like to cooperate with her, but only she can patiently explain her purpose to her subordinates.

As expected, Zhi Jing just paused and explained briskly:

"Van Gogh's painting was bought by a wealthy Asian businessman at a high price. I don't know how many American businessmen have objections. If the sunflower is taken away at this time, they will just wait to see the joke. This is not the sphere of influence of Suzuki Jiroyoshi, plus Being squeezed out by wealthy local businessmen, it will be harder for them to pursue us than in Japan.”

No one in the organization knew about her action. Ori Kyung hid it from everyone and only brought Amuro along for selfish reasons. When asked by her subordinates, she already had an excuse.

Her voice was as soft and charming as ever, and the man couldn't help but ask: "But, in the United States, there are also a few wealthy businessmen who want to be friends with them and will help them track us down, right?"

"In the United States, there are many people who want to be friends with us. Compared with Japan, this superficially prosperous country seems to be able to harbor our existence better." Ori Kyung smiled, "The right time and place, we have taken advantage of it at this time .”

"By the way, there is one more thing, brandy." The man took a breath and said slightly worriedly: "The information shows that more than half a month ago, the Suzuki family sent invitations to sunflower collectors around the world and persuaded They agreed to lend him the sunflowers for exhibition as long as he got the eighth sunflower."

"Half a month ago?" Zhi Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and pointed his jade finger at his temple. With a little effort, he learned some information.

Suzuki Jiroyoshi was determined to win Himawari half a month ago, and you can get this information after just asking around for a while.

Zhi Jing shook his head, no longer entangled in this small problem, and said softly: "I know his purpose. You can just sit still and wait for the signal from me and Bourbon."

There was a promise over there, and there was no sound from the headphones. At the same time, a bald old man in a kimono walked up to the interview stage at the press conference. He stroked his beard and looked at a dozen cameras. He was overflowing with excitement. He smiled and said:

"Welcome!"

Suzuki Jiroyoshi's voice silenced everyone. After Ori Kaori flashed into the crowd, the place behind the flash was extremely dark, mixed with reporters who wanted to get first-hand information. Their attention was focused on the press conference stage, and no one cared. In her presence, Zhi Jing wore a mask, plain glasses, and a black peaked cap, which almost completely covered her face.

Suzuki Jirokichi cleared his throat and said with a radiant face: "First of all, I am deeply honored to be able to successfully bid for the work with the highest amount in the history of painting as planned." Host: "You originally planned to win the bid with 300 million US dollars. ?"

"That's right. I spent a lot of money to buy this painting, all for the purpose of holding a sunflower exhibition in Japan." Suzuki Jirokichi's voice was sonorous and powerful. In comparison, Sonoko next to him was really shy.

"You mean the art exhibition?" the host asked again.

Sonoko took a step forward and explained: "Yes, our Suzuki Foundation will collect all the paintings with sunflowers in vases as compositions from all over the world. We are here to announce that we will use the thunder in our own Crocker Art Museum holds sunflower exhibition admiring Japan."

This ambitious talk made the reporters present in a commotion, asking all kinds of questions:
"Ms. Suzuki, you said you would collect them all one by one. Specifically, how many paintings are there in total?"

"You mean, marking the sunflowers this time is also part of the plan?"

"Yes, everything is to announce this exhibition on today's occasion." Yuanzi explained calmly, "And the paintings we collected include seven paintings in total, including the sunflowers that won the bid this time."

Ori Kagami smiled brightly, lowered the brim of his hat, pretended to be a reporter, changed his tone and spoke at the right time: "Seven paintings from all over the world, no matter how powerful the Japanese consortium is, it is impossible, right?"

Sonoko and others could not see the person asking the question, so they just answered one by one: "Our foundation has been expressing its determination to museums and individuals around the world who hold sunflower paintings for a long time to display sunflowers at the same place at the same time. With their consent in advance, as long as we successfully bid for the sunflowers at the auction, the other party is willing to lend the painting to us for exhibition."

Zhi Jing nodded and smiled softly.

"The Suzuki Consortium's move is to gain wealth in danger."

Amuro's voice came from the earphones. Apparently, he also heard the answers from Suzuki Jirokichi and others from the broadcast.

"Natural." Zhi Jing fiddled with her long hair and analyzed carefully: "Van Gogh's Sunflowers have never been exhibited together, and as far as I know, the Dutch Art Museum has refused to lend Sunflowers to outside exhibitions. If all the paintings All were borrowed, exhibited and sent back safely, which will definitely cause a global uproar. In this way, Suzuki Jiroyoshi will be a great man who makes Japan famous in the world. Both the stock market and reputation will reach the peak of the entire Japan, and in It won’t be surpassed for a long time.”

"With funds being monopolized, many people in the country are unwilling to do so," Amuro laughed, "but if anything goes wrong along the way, their reputation will be tarnished and they will have to face huge compensation. It's really hard to see whether they can recover in the future. It’s hard to say.”

"Let's watch first."

Zhi Jing raised her chin and calmly looked at the press conference that was still in full swing, her mind secretly flying into the distance.
