The attitude of Edward's speech at this time was very sincere, and he suddenly became serious and sincere, and the temperament of a nouveau riche was gone.

Jin Muchen was also taken aback by his sudden change in temperament, and then looked at the woman beside him. At this time, the arrogance on his face was completely gone. Although his face was still cold, he couldn't hide her. A thirsty taste in his eyes.

"What? Mr. Jin, do you have anything to worry about? You have seen our spending power just now. I can bluntly say that although I don't have a lot of money, I still have the money to buy a few antiques. .If your VIP exhibition hall has any membership requirements, you can put forward all of them, and I can apply to join your membership immediately."

Seeing that Jin Muchen didn't respond to him, this Edward continued to ask. Although his attitude was still sincere, he couldn't hide the eagerness in his words.

Jin Muchen couldn't help but think, why are they so anxious to go to the second floor? Could it be that they are really so anxious about their collection upstairs, or they are very anxious about a certain exhibit upstairs?

Since their store opened, Jin Muchen's treasures, that is, in the first few days of the store, were displayed in the lobby on the first floor of -≯-≯, £x., and later all moved to the higher level of security. .

From the exhibition hall on the first floor to the second floor, you not only have to pass through an iron gate behind the counter on the first floor, but also when you enter the exhibition hall on the second floor. There is also a very thick iron gate. That big iron gate. Although it is incomparable to the door of a bank vault, it is also much thicker than an ordinary security door.

Moreover, the security windows on the second floor fell all day, and the glass of the windows was also made of special bullet-proof reflective glass, so it was difficult to see the interior of the room from the outside.

After all, there are treasures worth hundreds of millions of dollars in this exhibition hall, so when the design and renovation was carried out, Jin Muchen had very high requirements for the safety protection level of the second floor.

Usually this showroom is only open to some special customers. For example, like Wang Xueming, or Michael. Only people like Zuofenberg will be invited by Jin Muchen.

If the other customers didn't spend a certain level in his store and knew a certain level, Jin Muchen would never invite them to visit them casually.

Therefore, the VIP system here is very strict. It does not mean that if you have tens of millions or hundreds of millions, you can take a VIP card for granted. Then went upstairs to visit.

Now that Edward hastily made a proposal to visit upstairs, of course Jin Muchen would not agree. Although he was very arrogant in his own shop, and he didn't seem to be short of money, the eagerness in his and his companion's eyes that could not be hidden, made Jin Muchen be vigilant.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Edward, our VIP system here is different from other places. Here, you must spend more than five million dollars and be our customer for more than three years before we invite you. Become a VIP customer in our store, and then you can visit the showroom upstairs."

Jin Muchen casually made nonsense about the conditions of a VIP membership and said to Edward, and Edward and his female companion, after listening to such conditions, did not hide the disappointment on their faces at all.

"That's it... I really didn't expect that the VIP system here is so strict!"

"Yeah, I'm really sorry."

Jin Muchen said to Edward with a smile, and Edward waved his hand casually.

"Forget it, forget it, then we'll leave today."

After he finished speaking, he ignored the reactions of Jin Muchen and Fang Bo, took his female companion, turned around and left Jin Muchen's antique shop.

"These two people are really strange."

Jin Muchen looked at the backs of the two of them and muttered, while Uncle Fang, who was standing beside him, had a thoughtful look on his face.

"What's wrong, Uncle Fang?"

Seeing Uncle Fang's expression, Jin Muchen couldn't help but ask, while Uncle Fang shook his head.

"I can't tell, but I don't feel very good about these two people. Forget it, I hope I think too much!"

Fang Bo shook his head and said, while Jin Muchen was stunned. He still understands the truth that a big tree attracts wind. Some time ago, those Italian hooligans came to his shop to collect protection fees, not because his shop was famous. .

Could it be that these two people are also 'admired'?

No, it seems that in the future, I still need to further improve the security level of my home, and it seems that I have to buy a few more guns to come back.

In the next few days, Jin Muchen was more vigilant, but some unexpected accidents did not happen, and the days were still calm.

Soon it will be the third week of October. Seeing that the weekend is only a few days away, Uncle Fang talked to him about something.

"Mu Chen, the ghost market over there in Wheaton is about to open. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Uncle Fang's words made Jin Muchen stunned for a moment, ghost market?

Isn't this stuff only available in China? Is this also popular here in the US?

Looking at his confused and curious appearance, Fang Bo laughed: "You kid, you haven't even heard of the ghost market in Wheaton, have you?"

"I really haven't heard of it. Uncle Fang, can you tell me about it?"

Jin Muchen was also aroused by Fang Bo, Fang Bo pointed to the tea room behind.

Jin Muchen hurriedly made a cup of hot tea for Uncle Fang, and brought a few pieces of refreshment. Then the two of them sat at the writing desk behind the counter. Uncle Fang took a sip of hot tea, set his tone, and then said to Jin Muchen.

"This ghost market is in Wheaton, Illinois. The full name is the overnight flea market. It starts at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday in the third week of October every year and ends at the hotel the next morning, once a year. If you miss it , you have to wait until next year, and this is an all-cash market, and does not accept any payment methods such as transfers, checks, etc. Every time it starts at five o'clock in the evening, and the hotel ends the next morning, I think the rest should be I don't need to say more."

When Fang Bo introduced this ghost city, the corners of his eyes were full of smiles.

When Jin Muchen heard it, he was stunned. Damn, I really didn't expect that there is such a market in the United States, right?

Isn't this the same as those ghost cities in China? It's a place to buy and sell shady things.

It's just that most of the things bought in domestic ghost markets are just unearthed, while in the ghost markets in the United States, most of the sales may be stolen goods.

As an official, it is impossible not to know this, but they all tacitly chose to open one eye and close one eye.

This ghost city is a good place!

Especially the all-cash transaction that Fang Bo said, this has already explained everything.

It is only held once a year, which may be the limit that the official can bear. Don't underestimate this short one night, maybe this one night, that market may have hundreds of millions of transactions.

No, this ghost city, I must go and see it. When I think of this, Jin Muchen feels that grass grows in his heart.

If an antique dealer has never even been to a ghost market in the United States, how can he brag to others in the future?

This place gave Jin Muchen the feeling that it was similar to the morning market in the Rose Bowl Market that I went to in Los Angeles before, but that morning market started after 4:00 in the morning, but at 7:00 in the morning, it started to operate normally.

The first few hours were of course reserved for underground transactions. Unfortunately, it was only about three hours, but it was all night here, and it took a total of sixteen hours before and after. There are things worth shooting in there. Shouldn't there be more?

This market must go!

There are two more days until the weekend. Jin Muchen and Fang Bo greeted him, called Candace again, and simply cleaned up, and Jin Muchen drove off.

Because the pickup truck let Candace go to school, this time he still had to rent a car to go to Illinois. Before departure, Jin Muchen once again scolded the parking situation in Manhattan. If it wasn't for the difficulty of parking, he would have bought the first There are two cars.

Mad, when I have the money, I will buy a building and use it as my own private parking lot!

Starting from New York all the way west, through Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Anna, Indonesia, it took a whole day to reach Wheaton, Illinois.

The city of Wheaton is not large in size and has a small population. It is a typical small city in the Midwest. It is incomparable with the big city of Chicago in Illinois, and it is even worse than the state capital of Springfield.

Jin Muchen is not interested in visiting this city, he is more interested in the ghost market that will be held one day at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.

The location of the ghost city is on the outskirts of Wheaton, next to Wheaton College. Although this school is not an Ivy League school, it is one of the top Christian schools in the United States, so it is not small.

With such an obvious landmark, the ghost market is easier to find. Jin Muchen didn't go out for a stroll the next day, but rested in the hotel. There are ten hours to go around.

What's more, he still carried two million dollars in cash, which he raised through various channels. Fang Bo, who had been to this ghost market before, told him.

When you get here, it is best to bring enough cash, because here, you may see a lot of good things, and these things are clearly priced, don't think people don't understand, this is a gathering place for elegant thieves.

Many elegant thieves specializing in antique calligraphy and painting come from the United States and even all over the world to sell stolen goods in this market every year, so the cash flow here is very large, which is the main reason why the government only allows this night market to open for only one day a year.
