Chapter 992: Past Events in Metropolis

In the 1980s, North America was undoubtedly developed, especially in New York, where there were tall buildings and people's lives were colorful. At that time, Longguo was still desperately catching up with these powerful countries. If we talk about economic strength, there is naturally no comparison.

For Li Yi, he had never left Jiangnan City in the 1980s, and he could not imagine what the economic conditions and living standards in North America were like in that era.

But in the 1980s, Tang Sui had already developed in New York in North America.

Tang Sui himself was really famous in Wall Street in the late 1980s. At that time, it can be said that he was in his prime, and his popularity was not much worse than Li Yi. He might have earned more money. After all, he was in the economic center of the world, so there were naturally many opportunities, and Tang Sui was best at seizing opportunities.

After simply sorting out his thoughts, Tang Sui briefly described what happened that year.

Many places in New York in the 1980s were very open. Rather than being open, it is better to say that it is free.

It was precisely because of this freedom that there were many underground forces at that time. For Tang Sui, he might not have any dealings with these underground forces in his lifetime. However, at an antique exhibition and auction, an accident and a chance encounter came at the same time.

This antique auction and exhibition was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 82nd Street, Fifth Avenue.

The things collected in the museum were all priceless antiques. At that time, Tang Sui was not very interested in these things, but an old customer invited Tang Sui to visit together. Tang Sui happened to have nothing to do at the time, so he accepted the invitation. The relationship between the two was very good. Tang Sui had helped this boss make a lot of money, at least 5 million US dollars. The boss was kind to people, especially the impression of the Dragon people was particularly good. This was one of the main reasons why Tang Sui liked him.

This boss was worth a lot of money and planned to add a more beautiful thing to his home.

Also participating in the auction and exhibition were Professor Fei and his two favorite students, a man and a woman. All three were very wealthy at the time. Professor Fei came from a prominent family, and the other two students' families were also in business, with a lot of money in their pockets.

The purpose of coming here this time was to buy back several antiques that originally belonged to Longguo and were lost abroad. Professor Fei was a man with a strong sense of patriotism. He had been looking for one of the antiques for more than three years, and he finally got the news, so he naturally would not let it go, so he followed directly and planned to buy it.

Professor Fei's two students also admired Professor Fei's behavior, so they volunteered to follow along the way.

When the auction started, Tang Sui was standing at the door smoking. Smoking was not allowed in the museum, which Tang Sui understood, but he couldn't control his urge to smoke, so he had to bite the bullet and leave temporarily to get some fresh air.

As a result, at this moment, he met two guys with very strange behavior. They were sneaking around the public telephone booth, and no one knew what they were doing.

Tang Sui frowned and leaned over to take a look. Only then did he realize that the two guys were holding the floor plan of the museum, and they also drew a circle at the location of the auction exhibition hall.

At that time, Tang Sui didn't take it seriously until the conversation between the two guys made Tang Sui feel helpless.

These two guys were actually planning to steal things!

Tang Sui didn't drag his feet at all. He turned around and found a security guard of the museum. He briefly explained the very suspicious aspects of the two people. The security guard didn't want to get involved, but Tang Sui was dressed in a suit and tie. He was obviously a rich man and it was not easy to offend him. So with this in mind, he went up to ask. The two guys were smart. When they noticed the security guard coming, they turned around and ran away neatly.

Tang Sui smacked his lips, feeling that it was not interesting, so he went back to continue watching the auction.

Auctions are places where rich people spend money to have fun. A strange bottle from ancient Egypt was sold for a high price of 300,000 US dollars. This is a very common thing. It is said that this thing seems to be related to some pharaoh. Rich people play with this.

Next is a whole set of wine utensils. It is said that it was used by the emperor of a certain dynasty in Longguo. The starting price is around 500,000 US dollars. Tang Sui suddenly felt speechless, but there were actually quite a few people who made bids.

Frankly speaking, Tang Sui came here to watch the excitement. It must be said that the Metropolitan auctioneer is very good at adjusting the atmosphere. The whole auction hall makes people feel like spending money to compete with others. However, for Tang Sui, he would not spend this money on a bottle or a wine glass that others have used for who knows how long.

At this time, the auction hall suddenly lost power, followed by a group of people rushing in. They all had hot weapons in their hands. They were obviously here to rob. Tang Sui felt very speechless. How could he encounter such a thing?

Fortunately, the group's target was not the people who came to the auction, but the exhibits. Tang Sui felt lucky about this.

But there was an old man who kept approaching the booth in the dark. Tang Sui observed carefully and found that the man was from Longguo! Is it just a set of wine glasses, is it worth this man's desperate efforts?

But this uncle is his fellow villager, so there is no way. Tang Sui was also excited and secretly stopped the uncle.

"Uncle, you can't see what the situation is now, right?

No matter how much you like those wine glasses, it's not worth risking your life, right?"

Fortunately, these guys' target is not on the wine glasses for the time being, they are going for a lot of cash.

The old man turned around and said: "My purpose of coming this time is to take these antiques from Longguo, and I will take them home even if I die!"

Just this sentence made Tang Sui very helpless, but the sentence of taking them home really touched Tang Sui.

It has been a long time since he came to Wall Street. That place far away on the other side of the ocean, which he calls his hometown, does make Tang Sui miss it from time to time. So at that time, he said to the old man directly: "Wait here, I'll get the wine glasses!"

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Tang Sui had already rushed out.

At this moment, no one paid attention to the movement on the auction table. These rich people were scared like quails.
