It is not a magic item, and the purchase price is not very high. However, because of its historical significance, in Shi Xiaolei's mind, the copper heads that are about to be purchased still use a heavy weight.

Something so important must be taken seriously.

So, after thinking about it for a day, Shi Xiaolei decided to revise his previous thoughts and gave up the idea of ​​letting Natasha do it on his behalf, and decided to come forward in person to welcome the three bronze animal heads back.

And considering that he has never participated in a similar situation seriously, he may not be very comfortable with the atmosphere of the trading scene, and then make some jokes, Shi Xiaolei also specially called Coulson, hoping that he can take some time out. When the time comes, I will be a temporary consultant for myself. By the way, I will accompany myself to the meeting with the copper beast head holder as a deputy.

Because the island collector who holds the dragon head and the snake head was sent by S.H.I.E.L.D. in disguise, for S.H.I.E.L.D., Shi Xiaolei’s invitation to Coulson was tantamount to taking the initiative to send a Opportunity to rip off.

Should we make peace, let the island agent who pretended to be the collector cooperate with Coulson and get some more benefits from Shi Xiaolei?

After careful consideration, Nick Fury decided to forbear.

After all, the value of the copper animal head is not that great, and the capital flow involved in this transaction is only tens of millions of euros. At this time, the knife may not be able to cut much oil and water. In contrast, selling human favors to Shi Xiaolei first so that he can remember it better, and by the way, in exchange for a promise of "in the future, I will help you", but it is more some value.

In short, S.H.I.E.L.D. did not set up obstacles for the transfer of the dragon head and the snake head. The two bronze animal heads were successfully acquired by Shi Xiaolei.

And the rabbit head collected by a French collector...

People are just an ordinary collector, and they don't have so many hidden identities. Shi Xiaolei has given enough money and face here, of course he won't make any moths there.

The two transactions, one first and the other, took about half a month in total.

By the time this is done, it will already be late June, and it will soon be July.

"Well~, it's really clean." Looking at the four bronze animal heads (including the copper sheep head that was originally in his hand, there are four in total) on the shelf, Shi Xiaolei nodded with satisfaction.

I had watched a documentary before the time-travel. Although I didn't learn any skills, Shi Xiaolei firmly remembered the point of 'without that skill, never clean up easily'. Therefore, after getting these copper heads, he didn't bother to see the traces of rust, so he just cleaned them up.

For example, the rag in Shi Xiaolei's hand was only used to wipe the glass cover.

Speaking of which, after the bronze beast head was delivered two days ago, Shi Xiaolei originally planned to call Stark and ask him to help make some sturdy and safe covers.

Unexpectedly, before he could take action, this matter was first talked about by Kang Na and revealed to the little yellow people who played with her.

"Tom tom~."

Bending his fingers, he tapped the cover made of bulletproof glass, and the corner of Shi Xiaolei's mouth was slightly raised: "It's quite strong. It seems that those little guys are not completely unreliable."

"Locke." While admiring, 2B pushed the door and walked in: "The consulate has arrived."

"So fast?"

She took out her mobile phone and checked the time. It's only been a little over an hour since the call was made.

I thought that the other party would not be able to come over until at least the afternoon, but it turned out...

One thing to say, Shi Xiaolei was a little surprised that people from the consulate came so quickly.

Put down the rag, and quickly checked his clothes. After confirming that there was nothing unsightly, Shi Xiaolei left the study and went back upstairs.

"Loke, this is the Consul General of the Consulate General in New York, Mr. Zhong Shaotang."

"Commander Zhong, this is..."

"I'll do it myself." Although I deal with my compatriots a lot on weekdays, this is the first time I've seen a person who can represent the motherland at an official level. For a while, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but get a little excited: "Commander Zhong, I'm Shi Xiaolei, just call me Xiaolei."

Shi Xiaolei's words had a little accent, and it was impossible to say that his words were eloquent.

But it is this Mandarin with a local accent that proves his identity.

"Mr. Shi, hello." Originally, he came here with good feelings, but after greeting him, Consul Zhong's good feelings for Shi Xiaolei rose again.

"No, you can still call me Xiaolei. If you don't think it's appropriate, Xiaoshi is fine." While reaching out to shake hands with Consul Zhong, Shi Xiaolei begged, "I can't afford such a title in front of a big man like you. Besides, in terms of age, I am also a junior."

"Then..." Looking at the adjutant who accompanied him, Consul Zhong laughed: "Brother Shi?"

"Well, that's fine too." Shi Xiaolei nodded again and again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's kind to listen to."

"Come here, Chief Zhong, and this eldest brother, uh, I haven't asked for advice yet, are you..." When he greeted Chief Zhong and the adjutant to sit down, Shi Xiaolei remembered that he hadn't said hello to the adjutant, and quickly became slightly embarrassed Added a sentence.

"This is Consul Peng, in charge of the cultural section."

There are six Chinese embassies and consulates in the United States. They are the embassy in Washington, the capital, and five consulates-general in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Houston.

Apart from the embassy, ​​the consulate general in New York has the largest number of districts. Including Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont ~lightnovelpub.net~ a total of ten states related business, are concentrated in the Consulate General in New York here.

Therefore, in order to better and more comprehensively complete the responsibilities, the Consulate General has set up various 'offices' to be in charge of the work of each section.

Administration Office, Press and Public Diplomacy Office, Consular Protection and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, Education Office, Culture Office, Science and Technology Office, Economic and Commercial Office, Consular Document Office, etc. Each department has a different scope of work. Among them, the cultural department is responsible for people-to-people and cultural exchanges in the fields of culture, sports, and tourism.

The matter of 'returning important cultural relics' is also under the control of the cultural department.

That's why Commander Zhong didn't bring anyone else, but brought Consul Peng here.

"Hello, hello, Consul Peng."

"Hello, little brother Shi." After greeting, Consul Peng smiled and added: "Maybe you didn't pay attention, we actually met once."

"Eh?"

"A few months ago, at Stark's party." Consul Peng said with a smile, "You were chatting with Stark and busy doing barbecues at the same time. It doesn't look like you can make room. It looks like that, so I had to give up the idea of ​​talking to you, and didn't go up to disturb it."

"Really..." Scratching his head, Shi Xiaolei smiled naively: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention."

"It's okay, didn't we meet again today?" Consul Peng laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Thanks to you, I have eaten such authentic Huaguo barbecue."
