Chapter 229 Meteorite Collector(1/2)

 Icebreakers sail in the Arctic Circle, unlike fixed flights, they do not happen every day.

They will only appear in the waterway when delivering supplies to the Arctic scientific research station or performing scientific research missions.

Su Xiaofan's luck was obviously not very good this time. He waited for more than half a month before he saw the shadow of a fleet.

Fortunately, this is a returning fleet, otherwise Su Xiaofan might have to accompany them on another trip to the Arctic Circle.

Su Xiaofan didn't want to stand on the iceberg waving a towel to attract the attention of the fleet, so he quietly boarded the icebreaker at night and came to the room where he lived before.

There were only three or four rooms on the entire top floor, one of which belonged to the captain. Su Xiaofan knocked on the captain's door politely.

"Oh, God, you...how did you get up here?"

Looking at Su Xiaofan, who was in ragged clothes but with a refreshed face, Leonid screamed as if he had seen a ghost.

"Captain Leonid, won't you buy me a drink?"

Su Xiaofan smiled and squeezed into the room from the captain. He took a bottle of vodka from the wine rack and drank it without looking for a cup.

Su Xiaofan is not an alcoholic, and he is not very interested in vodka, which is almost alcoholic and has no taste at all. But after holding it on the iceberg for more than ten days, he just wanted to drink some wine at this moment.

"Damn Lao Maozi wine, it doesn't taste good at all."

Su Xiaofan muttered something and put the bottle of vodka back.

"God, you Chinese people can do magic."

It was obviously not the first time Leonid encountered this situation, and he returned to normal after the initial surprise.

"Shouldn't you be happy to see someone who gives you money?"

Su Xiaofan took a long breath and said, "Captain Leonid, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Of course it's good news. I hope to hear good news every day."

Leonid laughed loudly and took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet at the bottom of the wine rack. "I also have good news here. Look, your Chinese Erguotou is very strong."

"For Erguotou's sake, there's no more bad news."

Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up. After staying in the Arctic Circle for such a long time, he finally understood why the drinks in the restricted area were so scarce.

Because no matter how much wine was sent in, it would not be enough for the cultivators to consume. In that freezing environment, having a sip of wine was definitely the supreme enjoyment.

"That's great, what's the good news?" Leonid poured a glass of wine for Su Xiaofan with a hopeful look on his face.

In fact, if he had a choice, Leonid would not want to deal with these Chinese people, because in front of them, Leonid felt like a lamb to be slaughtered, without any sense of security.

"The good news is that you only need to give me a mobile phone, and your $100,000 will be available immediately."

The mobile phone Su Xiaofan used before may have been frozen by the extremely cold weather, but now he only has a mobile phone card in his hand.

"It's really good news."

Leonid's eyes lit up, and he took out his mobile phone directly, "Satellite phone, you can make any calls, the signal is all over the world."

"This is a good thing. Can you get me one?"

Compared with Su Xiaofan's mobile phone which has no signal in many places, the satellite phone is undoubtedly more practical.

"It's possible, but it requires a lot of money, and the usage fee for another year is $20,000."

Leonid's satellite phone was provided by the company. Although he was eligible to apply for another one, he had to pay for it himself.

"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself."

Su Xiaofan shook his head. He didn't feel confident using Lao Maozi's things. Who knew whether they might be monitored.

After receiving the phone call, Su Xiaofan called Brother Gang first.

"Xiaofan, where have you been in the past two months?"

He seemed to be sleeping, but after receiving the call from Su Xiaofan, Brother Gang woke up immediately.

"Brother Gang, do you have a knife in your hand? I'll add 100,000 to this account later." Su Xiaofan reported the account number given by the captain.

It was only natural to give money by boat. Su Xiaofan didn't want to go to the dock to carry a big bag to pay back the money like his father did.

"Okay, I'll do it in a minute."

Brother Gang agreed, and then said: "Xiaofan, I found a big shot in the meteorite collecting community in the United States. He has many rare meteorites in his hands..."

"Well, then buy it, won't he sell it?"

Hearing Brother Gang's words, Su Xiaofan suddenly became excited. He really wanted to doze off and gave him a pillow, but it came at just the right time.

"Sell it, but we don't have enough money."

Brother Gang hesitated for a moment, "I did the math, that man has a rich collection of meteorites.

If we want to take it all down, we need at least 200 million U.S. dollars. I scraped together, and we only have less than 30 million U.S. dollars in total."

Although I made a lot of money from jade auctions before, that little money is still not enough to make trouble in the international meteorite collection market.

Especially this year, Brother Gang spread the word through the auction house that he wanted to purchase rare meteorites, which suddenly made the meteorite market hot, and the price also skyrocketed.

"I'll take care of the money. Where are you now?"

Su Xiaofan was not afraid that the other party would ask a high price, but he was afraid that the other party would not sell it.

Of course, Su Xiaofan is not really afraid. At worst, he can just be a gentleman.

"I'm in Los Angeles, and that person is a professor at the University of Los Angeles."

Brother Gang was originally traveling in South America with his wife. After receiving the call from the auction house, he immediately rushed to Los Angeles.

In the past few days, Brother Gang has been asking people to appraise the meteorites collected by that person. There are still some parts that have not been appraised, but the price given has exceeded 200 million US dollars.

Although Brother Gang is now somewhat wealthy, he was still shocked by this figure. He has been desperately looking for Su Xiaofan these days.

"Okay, give me your hotel, and I should be able to get there within a week."

Su Xiaofan asked for Brother Gang's hotel address. According to the speed of the icebreaker, he could return to Green Island within five days, and the remaining two days were enough for him to arrive in Los Angeles.

Of course, if he wanted the journey to go smoothly, Su Xiaofan still had to trouble Minister Hua, otherwise he might not be able to enter the beautiful country even if he got on the plane.

However, after calling Minister Hua, the person who answered the phone told him that Minister Hua was not available for the time being, and Liu'an was not available either, and he had to make an appointment three days in advance to find them.

Su Xiaofan was a little speechless. Fortunately, it would take five or six days to return, so he left his name and made an appointment for the next call with Hualong.

In the past few days, Zheng Dagang had been helping him exchange American knives through the auction house, and he had plenty of money. A few minutes later, Leonid received the payment information.

For foreigners, beautiful swords are the best language.

After receiving the money, Leonid sent Su Xiaofan back to the room and had someone send him a pair of brand new clothes. Su Xiaofan was attentive to his service.

Hualong's call came faster than Su Xiaofan expected, at noon the next day. Of course, it was still on the captain's phone.

Not knowing whether he would be monitored, Su Xiaofan didn't say much. He just asked Hualong to help him arrange a flight route to Los Angeles and other immigration matters.

It seemed that Minister Hua had done this kind of thing a lot, and actually asked Su Xiaofan if he wanted to enter the country legally or if he wanted to sneak in secretly.

Su Xiaofan naturally chose to enter the country legally. He was doing business, and he didn't want to cause a 911 incident in the United States. There was no need to hide his head.

In addition, Su Xiaofan asked Minister Hua to help him solve the phone problem. In modern society, it is difficult to live without a mobile phone.

Everything has been handed over to others, so Su Xiaofan can only follow the icebreaker back to Green Island.

At this time, the North Pole has entered the polar night environment.

There is only one hour at noon every day when you can see a little light, and the rest of the time is shrouded in darkness.

After more than four days of sailing, the icebreaker finally docked at Green Island.

Su Xiaofan came to Frank's cafe with a familiar face, asked him to help book a ticket to Damai Country, and left Green Island on the same day.

After two months of lonely and cold life in the restricted area of ​​​​the glacier, Su Xiaofan returned to human society to see who felt friendly.

Squatting at the airport and looking at the aunt who weighed almost 300 pounds, Su Xiaofan felt like a beauty.

At the international airport of Damai Country, an inconspicuous-looking Damai man handed a suitcase to Su Xiaofan.

There was a satellite phone in the suitcase, a few changes of clothes, and a direct ticket to the beautiful country.

In addition, there was a stack of American knives and a bank card. According to Hualong, the beautiful country does not use cash very much and usually pays by credit card.

Su Xiaofan didn't mention borrowing the knife. He planned to go over first and see how much the difference was, and then think of a solution.

The most important thing is that Su Xiaofan needs to see the meteorites first. If he buys a bunch of useless meteorites, wouldn't he be taken advantage of?

More than ten hours later, Su Xiaofan himself arrived at the hotel where Brother Gang was staying.

Su Xiaofan's English dictation was very good, but his speaking was poor, and he used a shameless spirit to bounce out single words, but he was able to communicate with the taxi driver without any problems.

Brother Gang had already opened Su Xiaofan's room and went to get the room card with his passport. Su Xiaofan took a comfortable bath and then called Brother Gang.

"Oh, you miss me so much, brother." Zheng Dagang gave Su Xiaofan a hug as soon as they met.

"Where's sister-in-law? Don't tell me you're here alone for the honeymoon?" Su Xiaofan looked behind Brother Gang.

"Hey, your sister-in-law is here, I let her rest in the room."

Brother Gang smiled very proudly. He took his wife to the hospital in the beautiful country for a checkup yesterday. She was pregnant with a boy, which made Brother Gang very happy.

"Brother, we have to make an agreement first. After Zheng Xiaogang is born, you have to accept him as your disciple."
