The Manor Villa in Beverly Hills is a famous wealthy area in Los Angeles.
Moreover, the purpose of the burglary was only to steal two famous paintings and more than 100,000 in cash, which can basically rule out the possibility of a gang committing the crime.
Tang, Song and Yuan also estimated that in all likelihood, the person who committed the crime was probably a transcendent person.
It's just that for a while, he couldn't guess what kind of extraordinary ability the other party had.
But Tang Songyuan felt that as an extraordinary person, the other party used extraordinary abilities to engage in these sneaky things, and his abilities were probably not much better.
Thinking of this, Tang Songyuan took a sip of coffee, looked at Franco and said:
"Franco, this news has inspired me a lot,"
"This is very important to me. Can you find more detailed information about this case?"
Franco pondered for a while and said: "If you want more detailed information, you have to find a way to get the police file. This takes time."
Tang Songyuan nodded and said:
"I think there is another idea. Most of the targets stolen by the other party are antiques and other valuable items."
"Excluding people who really love collecting, does the perpetrator need a channel to sell the stolen goods?"
"If he is not collecting it for himself, does his ultimate goal need to be to find a place to sell it for money?"
Franco said: "You are right, but the Los Angeles police have also thought of this. Recently, they have issued reward notices to all antique shops and black markets in Los Angeles,"
"If any one of these stolen items is discovered, or information about the perpetrator is provided, there will be a reward of half a million dollars."
Half a million US dollars is too expensive. Any one of the antiques this guy stole would cost more than half a million US dollars.
Tang Songyuan complained in his heart, and then said: "Okay, Franco, help me pay close attention. If anything happens, call me or send me an email."
Franco nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!"
After coming out of Franco's antique shop, Tang Songyuan and Ni Sisi returned to the hotel together.
In Tang Songyuan's room, Ni Sisi complained: "These thieves are really disgusting! They actually stole your things, little junior brother."
"Those people on the Internet also say how wonderful the Western Kingdom is. There is gold everywhere, the air is sweet, and the Western Dream is great."
"The result is nothing, the security is chaotic, garbage is everywhere, and there is still polyethylene poisonous gas in the air..."
Tang Songyuan laughed and said: "It's not like there are no criminals in the country."
"However, I also feel that the world's hegemon, the Western Kingdom, is now in a state of decline. Things will inevitably turn upside down, and they will flourish and decline."
"But I still find it interesting to earn their dollars."
Ni Sisi made a cheering gesture to him and said: "Yes, come on, little junior brother, earn more US dollars. If you can't spend all the money, senior sister will help you spend it!"
Tang Songyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, the key point you want to say is the last sentence..."
Ni Sisi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Junior brother, don't you know this? Making money is a knowledge and a skill, but spending money is also a profound art."
"You see, Musk and Bezos have both taken turns being the world's richest men, but they purchased expensive mansions, private jets and luxury yachts to show off the unique charm of wealth and enjoy a luxurious lifestyle."
“It’s also investing a lot of wealth into technology, especially cutting-edge areas like space exploration and renewable energy.”
“A keen insight into future trends and potential, and a forward-looking approach to investing in innovative technologies can be called the art of spending money.”
Tang Songyuan laughed and said, "I never thought that one day I would be able to compare with the richest man in the world."
"Senior sister, you know that I always like to keep a low profile..."
Ni Sisi raised her eyebrows and said, "There is no conflict between being low-key and making money, or let me put it another way."
"Low-key life, high-profile work."
"Let me give you an example. You had a stone-betting duel with Jenna in Pagan, Myanmar. Is this a low profile?"
"And the suitcase treasure hunt competition you are about to participate in will be recorded by multiple TV stations and more than a dozen video websites... Isn't this considered low-key?"
Tang Songyuan leaned back on the sofa in the hotel, swaying his chin and said:
"What senior sister said makes some sense."
"Then tell me, I have more than 4 billion in cash in my hand now. Although this money is still some distance from the world's richest man,"
“But domestically, it is also a huge sum of money.”
"With so much money, we can't just sit in a bank account and earn interest. But as you know, I only have a high school degree."
"I learned a little about stone betting from my master, but investing is a complete layman."
Ni Sisi laughed and said, "This isn't difficult at all. I'll make a good plan for you when I get back to China."
"Now, let's play however we want!"
After talking about it, we talked about playing again.
Tang Songyuan changed his sitting position and asked tentatively: "How about, senior sister, I will take you to Long Beach Port tomorrow to experience the container treasure hunt that is very popular on the Internet?"
The Port of Long Beach is an important port in Los Angeles, handling hundreds of millions of containers every year, ranking among the top 15 in the world.
When the port cannot solve the problem of container ownership, in order to deal with the stranded goods and recover costs,
The port will sell these unclaimed containers to interested buyers through auctions.
For example, during the transportation of some containers, the cargo owner information may be lost, incorrect or incomplete.
This results in the port being unable to contact the cargo owner and deliver the cargo to the correct recipient.
Some cargo owners may refuse to accept the goods or fail to pay relevant fees, causing the goods to be stranded at the port.
In order to recover costs and space, ports will choose to auction these unclaimed containers.
This is also a container treasure hunt that many treasure hunters are keen on.
Compared with warehouse treasure hunting and suitcase treasure hunting, the basic value of container treasure hunting is higher.
After all, spending thousands of dollars to ship a container, no matter how low the contents are, is better than the garbage that may come out of a blind box in a warehouse.
After hearing Tang Songyuan's suggestion, Ni Sisi immediately became interested, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said:
"Okay, okay, I've watched a lot of treasure hunting videos recently, but I never thought I'd have the chance to experience it myself."
Tang Songyuan chuckled and said, "Actually, I've wanted to go for a long time, but..."
"But your English is not good, so it won't be easy to communicate then, right?"
Ni Sisi hummed proudly and said, "Why don't you call the teacher quickly? I will take you to practice your speaking today."
