Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 724 Harvesting, Godfather, Murder and Arson

Gao Dongxu sat down at his desk, turned on his computer, entered his password, logged into the operating system, opened online banking, and sure enough, saw his account number. He entered his password again and entered his bank account page.

"Sigh, Chen Sheng is really willing to risk his life for money. He has over 570 million in his account, but he's willing to spend 200 million to buy his life. He ultimately misplaced his trust in me..."

While joking, Gao Dongxu took out a card from his spatial storage, on which was written his anonymous confidential account at a Swiss bank. He entered the account number and transferred most of the money from Chen Dazhi's account to the anonymous confidential account.

Yes, I left HKD 10,000 in Chen Dazhi's account, after all, I need to leave some for his wife and children.

Money transferred to anonymous, confidential accounts in Swiss banks is safe from investigation, unless the investigating party is a powerful American nation capable of pressuring Switzerland.

Swiss bank accounts are divided into two types: registered accounts and anonymous confidential accounts.

The two types of accounts have completely different operating models.

Registered accounts are no different from ordinary bank accounts. They come with bank cards and other credentials, which can be replaced if lost. Identity verification is required for large withdrawals. Money deposited into the account can earn interest according to current Swiss financial policies.

However, confidential accounts are completely different.

First, confidential accounts are anonymous and do not record any identity information. Therefore, even if illegal funds are found to have entered or exited a confidential account, unless the Swiss bank voluntarily discloses the original data, no one, or even any country, can know whose name the account is under.

Secondly, this type of account doesn't even have any account credentials. There's no passbook or bank card, just an account number and a password set by the depositor. In other words, anyone who knows the account number and password can withdraw money from the bank's confidential account without needing to verify their identity.

Finally, confidential accounts not only do not generate interest income, but depositors also have to pay substantial asset management fees every year. In other words, if you deposit money into a confidential account, your money will not only not increase in interest, but will actually decrease every year.

Secure your profits!
Gao Dongxu stood up with a happy smile. His group of women had just spent 400 million to buy a villa, and now not only was someone reimbursing them, but they also made an extra 100 million.

Indeed, robbing the rich to enrich oneself is the fastest way to make money.

Using the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique to penetrate Chen Dazhi's mind and emotions, A Ning questioned him while recording the conversation with a voice recorder and writing down important passwords.

Gao Dongxu then collected all the antiques and calligraphy in the study into the space, including the tables and chairs made of huanghuali and zitan wood.

Where is the safe? What's the combination?

"The safe... it's under the desk... the combination is..."

Gao Dongxu, who was opening the cigar and wine cabinet to examine Chen Dazhi's collection of top-quality cigars and vintage wines, chuckled upon hearing the location of the safe: "He's quite the collector—"

The next moment, the cigar and wine cabinet disappeared, and Gao Dongxu walked to the desk and sat down in the comfortable executive chair.

He stepped on the carpet under the desk, moved his chair back, bent down and lifted the carpet to reveal the safe door embedded in the floor.

Enter the password, and with a click, the cabinet door pops open. Inside, you'll find stacks of cash, documents, property deeds, jewelry boxes, and other valuable items.

Gao Dongxu took them out one by one and placed them on his desk. Looking at the ten property certificates in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh. Apart from two villas, the rest were property certificates for so-called luxury mansions with excellent locations.

It's a pity, I can't make it my own...

Putting the property certificate aside, Gao Dongxu picked up a black-covered notebook and began to read it.

I was shocked when I saw it. It turned out to be Chen Dazhi's diary, and what's most interesting is that it's full of his proud stories of money laundering, gambling, and setting up schemes.

A complete book of criminal evidence... Indeed, decent people don't keep diaries.

After flipping through the most recent diary entries, Gao Dongxu's eyes gleamed with a strange light. He closed the notebook and said to Ru Xin and Ru Qing, "Ask him, who is the godfather?"

Ru Xin and Ru Qing nodded, then each picked up a silver needle and focused intently on inserting it. Chen Dazhi's face, with his eyes tightly closed, showed a pained expression, and he was already covered in sweat.

"Tell me, who is the Godfather?"

"The Godfather... the Godfather is... Mr. Li... Li, Li Chen—"

"Li Chen?" Gao Dongxu frowned slightly, immediately typed the name into the computer, and found information about Li Chen related to antiques at the top of the search results.

Clicking on it revealed a truly impressive figure. A top international art appraiser, Singapore's largest antique dealer, owning 11 companies, and revolutionizing Singapore's traditional antique trade with a reputation for integrity, transparency, authenticity guarantees, money-back guarantees, and buyback programs—a model designed solely for the high-end market.

This is exactly the core idea behind Gao Dongxu's operation of Zhenbaoge, and it happens to coincide with the other party's core business philosophy.

Gao Dongxu's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he looked at the documents and asked, "Why do you call him Godfather?" "Why do you call him Godfather?" Ru Qing asked coldly, while simultaneously inserting a needle.

Chen Dazhi was sweating profusely, his eyes darting around beneath his tightly closed eyelids, his brows furrowed, and he murmured in pain, "Li, Mr. Li, and Mr. Cheng, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Qiu... are known as the auction godfather team, so Mr. Li is, is my boss. In private, I call him godfather..."

Gao Dongxu's eyes brightened even more. He hadn't expected to actually catch such a big fish, and four of them at once.

"Ask the other three people for details."

“Twelve needles, and he will die—” Ru Xin said, looking at Gao Dongxu.

"So what if he dies? It doesn't matter. The key is the intelligence." Gao Dongxu said nonchalantly as he reached out and put everything on his desk into his spatial storage.

"Who is Cheng Sheng, and what does he do?"

"Cheng, Cheng Kang, is Sotheby's chief legal counsel... He's well-versed in the philosophy of loopholes in judicial auctions, and is the mastermind behind managing multi-billion dollar deals..."

As each question was asked and Chen Dazhi answered, his breathing grew weaker and his speech became increasingly fragmented.

However, it was his answer that unveiled the secrets of the Asia-Pacific region's top-tier resource network to Gao Dongxu.

It turns out that Li Chengjiang and Qiu Qiu control the most exclusive resource network in the Asia-Pacific region's art, luxury home, and financial asset auction world.

They can not only make Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain worth hundreds of millions of yuan sell for ten times the original price, but also turn the hidden assets of the wealthy into assets that are in the open.

The four brokers controlled not only the auction hammer, but also a network of capital.

From auctions to the integration of finance, the process involves acquiring priority bidding rights through cooperation and then using cross-border financial instruments to purchase assets.

The monopoly on pricing power, where genuine and counterfeit products are mixed together, means that authentication certificates directly determine the value range of auction items.

The "special targets" that operate annually, amounting to tens or even hundreds of billions of yuan, are actually assets held on behalf of certain families.

In the system built by this elite team, every sensational auction is the result of meticulous calculation.

In their own words, they are not collectors, but rule-makers!
After hearing all the information, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but sigh, "This is the ultimate survival philosophy in the capitalist world."

Li Chen is a top international art appraiser, an innovator in the Southeast Asian antique market, and Singapore's largest antique dealer.

Cheng Kang, Sotheby's chief legal counsel, is known as the "Four-Law Auction Magician" and the behind-the-scenes mastermind behind deals worth billions.

Jiang Qiang holds 15% of the market share in private large-scale antique transactions in Hong Kong and is Christie's Asian driving force.

What a godfather-like team!
Without a doubt, Bai Ruilian's use of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" scroll to cause trouble this time was definitely the work of four people.

No wonder, many shops in the Five Families have run into trouble one after another due to various problems.

"He's not breathing." Ru Xin reached out and touched Chen Dazhi's pulse, whose eyes were wide open, face was contorted, and muscles were taut all over. She said this calmly.

"Hmm." Gao Dongxu gave a soft hum, then put the desk and computer into his spatial storage. He took out three cans of gasoline and smiled at the three women, "On a dark and windy night, murder... is the best thing to do. Now all that's left is to set it on fire. After we've set it on fire, we can go home."

"Isn't this too crazy? The public will explode," A Ning said, frowning slightly.

"I don't care. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Without drastic measures, how can those monkeys be afraid? How can they understand that when the sword of Damocles falls, they will all die! You only have one life. If you don't do stupid things, you won't die!" Gao Dongxu sneered.

"Put away those potted plants in the lobby on the first floor. Don't waste them by burning them," Ru Qing said, raising an eyebrow.

“Those oil paintings are nice too, I’ll keep them. I’ll hang them in my room when I get back,” Ah Ning added with a smile.

"Should I put everything I can find that's useful into my spatial storage?" Gao Dongxu said with a wry smile.

"Great idea!" X3
The three women said in unison, then looked at each other and giggled.

"Alright, you guys set it up, I'll just take a look around—" Gao Dongxu shook his head and chuckled.

Since we're going to set a fire anyway, we might as well make use of the waste instead of burning it all down.
