Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!

Jiang Wenxi's private account receives huge daily revenues and dividends from various companies. To be honest, money is just a number to her.

Jiang Yan reports the revenue details of each company on time every day. The numbers on each report are constantly rising. As a result, Wenle Investment Group's industry status has also jumped from a newly registered investment company to one of the most watched investment giants in China. Countless strong and promising startup teams and companies on the verge of transformation are vying for Jiang Wenxi's investment favor.

All of this had nothing to do with Jiang Wenxi; at that moment, she just wanted to stay home and do nothing.

But before she could enjoy a few days of peace, her phone received an official call from the Shanghai Cultural Relics Protection Embassy. The staff member on the other end of the line spoke respectfully but with a hint of urgency, explaining the emergency to her.

After careful investigation by embassy staff, a batch of precious cultural relics that had been lost overseas for many years were discovered to have appeared at a high-end private auction in Geneva, Switzerland.

This auction, hosted by the renowned European auction house Cohen, is open only to collectors with a net worth exceeding 10 billion euros, members of royal families, and top art collectors worldwide. The entry requirements are extremely high. The complete list of auction items is not made public; only invitees receive an exclusive auction catalog. Electronic devices are prohibited from being brought into the venue. The security level is comparable to that of an international summit, with professional security personnel and high-definition surveillance in every corner. Even the bidding paddles are designed with one-time encryption to prevent information leakage.

The cultural relics that have been recovered this time are extremely precious, all of them being treasures from the Tang and Song dynasties. Each piece bears a distinct mark of its era and carries profound historical and cultural value. They are also rare items that are the focus of my country's cultural relic protection efforts.

Previously lost overseas due to war and passed through the hands of many collectors, this time a mysterious collector entrusted Cohen Auction House to auction it publicly. Once it falls into private hands, the difficulty of recovering it will increase significantly.

Considering Jiang Wenxi's current status as a public welfare ambassador for cultural relic protection in Shanghai, her previous courage and sincerity in the field of cultural relic protection, as well as her strong financial resources and excellent negotiation skills, the embassy, ​​after careful deliberation, finally decided to officially send Jiang Wenxi abroad to handle the matter of recovering the cultural relics.

During the phone call, the staff member explained the requirements of the mission in detail: "Ambassador Jiang, the core of this mission is to recover lost cultural relics. We prioritize negotiation and consultation. You can bring a professional cultural relic appraiser and, based on the ownership certificate of the cultural relics issued by the embassy, ​​secretly contact the organizers of the Cohen Auction House and the collectors who entrusted the cultural relics, explain the background of the loss of these cultural relics and the relevant regulations of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and strive to recover the cultural relics free of charge or at a low price in a reasonable manner."

"If the other party is adamant and unwilling to cooperate with negotiations, we also have alternative plans. The embassy has allocated 5 million yuan in special funds for this mission. You can enter the auction with an exclusive invitation letter and adjust your bid flexibly during the auction. You must ensure that these precious cultural relics return to the motherland smoothly."

"In addition, there is a special rule for this auction: bidders must pay a deposit of 2 million yuan in advance in order to be eligible to bid. We will coordinate the disbursement of this deposit in a timely manner."

The staff member added, "For this mission, the embassy will provide you with comprehensive support, including handling relevant procedures for going abroad, arranging overseas security personnel, liaising with local Chinese communities and our consulates abroad, and cooperating with you throughout the process to handle all kinds of emergencies, ensuring your personal safety and the smooth progress of the mission."

"it is good"

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Jiang Wenxi's face gradually faded.

She ran her fingertips over her phone screen, having already made up her mind.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wenxi dialed Jiang Yan's number, her tone concise yet authoritative: "Jiang Yan, prepare all the necessary procedures for going abroad, liaise with the embassy staff, and confirm the departure time and overseas itinerary."

"Yes, Miss, I'll make the arrangements right away." Jiang Yan's respectful and efficient voice came through without the slightest hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wenxi looked out the car window, a sharp glint in her eyes.

The private auctions hosted by Cohen Auction House are a mixed bag, with invitees being either wealthy or influential, and most of them having their own connections and resources.

The identity of the collector who entrusted these cultural relics is mysterious, but he is most likely a big shot who has been deeply involved in the overseas cultural relics market for many years. He will certainly not compromise easily, and the negotiation process may be full of twists and turns. There may even be situations where other bidders maliciously raise prices and obstruct the recovery.

But she was not afraid at all; with the system's support, there was absolutely no problem.

early morning

Jiang Wenxi, accompanied by two top cultural relic appraisers and two bodyguards, arrived in Geneva, Switzerland on a special plane arranged by the embassy.

The moment the plane landed smoothly, the snow-capped Alps outside the window were serene and solemn, yet they could not diminish the solemnity in her heart.

Staff from the consulates abroad were already waiting at the airport VIP lounge, dressed in formal attire and with serious expressions, to escort them to the private hotel that had been arranged in advance.

Located just a ten-minute drive from Cohen Auction House, this location facilitates subsequent arrangements and ensures the safety of the group to the greatest extent possible.

Extra security personnel were stationed in the hotel corridors and rooms, forming a double layer of protection with the security team dispatched by the embassy. There were dedicated personnel on duty at every corner, and even the elevators required a special access card to use, making the security extremely tight.

After a short rest, Jiang Wenxi, following the clues communicated in advance by the embassy, ​​led the appraiser and embassy staff to the secret meeting place designated by Cohen Auction House—a private club in the old town of Geneva.

The club is hidden on a quiet stone-paved road. The entrance is unassuming and unmarked, with only two security guards in black suits standing tall and straight at the door indicating its extraordinary nature.

The security personnel, with eyes as sharp as eagles, carefully checked everyone's identity documents and embassy introduction letters. After passing through layers of security checks, they led them sideways through the long corridor and into the meeting room deep inside the club. They remained silent throughout, and their aura made people hesitant to approach them.

The meeting room was furnished in a simple yet luxurious style, with a dark brown leather sofa surrounding a heavy, dark solid wood table with a polished surface as smooth as a mirror, and an exquisite silver tea set on it.

The head of the Cohen Auction House, a Swiss man with gray hair and sharp, eagle-like eyes, was dressed in a well-fitting gray suit, his hands folded on the table, his expression calm and composed.

The representative of the collector who entrusted the cultural relic was a middle-aged man wearing a custom-made black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. His face was cold and stern, and he exuded a powerful aura that kept strangers at bay. Throughout the entire process, he kept his hands folded in front of the table, his eyelids slightly lowered, and he did not speak. However, he had an inherent sense of pressure and was obviously the core decision-maker in this negotiation.
