Getting the best from Tarkov

Chapter 162 Mysterious News

In addition to the four floors inside, the museum also has a floor underground.

The underground area and the above-ground part are like two extremes.

All kinds of advanced instruments and equipment are available here. If Liao Fan had placed the bamboo slips here and asked Huang Bingzhong to repair them, it would probably have taken much less time.

But in the end Liao Fan gave up on letting Qian Zeyang work here.

The reason is simple: the security measures here are too simple.

Although the hardware equipment in the underground part is luxurious, the three floors above ground are almost unprotected.

If there were no valuable exhibits in the museum, it would have been stolen long ago.

None of the collections Liao Fan planned to put here in the future were simple items, so he had no choice but to carry out a comprehensive upgrade of the museum.

But this study found that there were too many areas that needed to be redesigned.

Not only is the security level too low, but many of the supporting facilities are also too old. In the end, it was discovered that apart from the machines in the basement, there were not many things in the entire museum that could still be used.

After reading the report compiled by the professional company, Liao Fan gritted his teeth and directly renovated the entire museum.

Liao Fan temporarily placed all the existing cultural relics in the safe of Xiangjiang Bank, and Liao Fan once again asked Li Yang, Tang Shilong's childhood friend, to be in charge of the renovation company.

Only when Li Yang re-issued the design drawings and renderings according to Liao Fan's requirements did Liao Fan smile.

After the replanning, although the museum looks the same on the outside, the interior has been reduced from four floors to three.

For the first time, only half of the area was reserved for the lobby reception, office and living areas. Liao Fan used the remaining empty area to house all the large exhibits from the original three floors.

These things are very inconvenient to move, and if they are placed on the second or third floor, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems during the transportation process.

And because these things are so large, there is no need to worry about them being stolen. You just need to make sure they are not damaged.

Except for the first floor, Liao Fan demolished and replanned the second, third and fourth floors, canceling the original third floor and raising the roof height of the original second and fourth floors.

The remaining space is all hidden in the middle of the two floors, which is equivalent to making a mezzanine under the floor.

All these mezzanines are connected, with rows of tracks inside, and finally all lead to the basement.

Liao Fan also replanned the basement. The work area was reduced to half its size, and in the empty area, Liao Fan placed an oversized safe.

It is also a double-layer safe.

It is not two layers of iron plates, but two safes put together, filled with concrete in the middle.

In addition to these overall structural changes, Liao Fan also made new adjustments to the layout of the exhibition hall.

On the second floor, Liao Fan installed a lot of transparent curtain walls, which are used to display various paintings, calligraphy and other exhibits that can be painted. Below is a row of booths for displaying small exhibits of low value.

On the third floor, there are independent square vertical exhibition booths, each of which displays a separate exhibit.

As for security measures, in addition to the guards at the entrance of the hall and in the exhibition hall, Liao Fan also installed countless surveillance cameras throughout the museum.

Some are obvious, and some are hidden.

These monitors have two storage systems, one of which is not connected to an external power supply.

That is to say, once the museum loses power, the backup power supply and diesel generator in the basement will automatically operate, and the electricity they provide is enough to maintain basic operations of the museum for two days.

In addition, the glass covers and glass curtain walls of all platforms are double-layered bulletproof and explosion-proof glass.

The inner glass is also equipped with vibration sensors.

Once the sensor is activated, the protected exhibits drop beneath the platform in an instant.

Below the platform, there are tracks in the mezzanine between each floor.

Instead, the exhibits will be stored in the safe along the track according to a pre-set procedure.

The entire process is unmanned, so there is almost no possibility of substitution.

When the designers at Li Yang's company saw the design requirements proposed by Liao Fan, they looked at him as if he was crazy.

It's just a private museum, is there any need for such a big fuss? Are you going to exhibit Mona Lisa's smile or the imperial seal?

But on that day, he hinted that doing so was a bit too exaggerated, but Liao Fan didn't care, and he also quoted a ridiculously high price of 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

As a result, what Li Yang didn't expect was that Liao Fan agreed after only considering it for one night.

The reason why Liao Fan agreed was that he checked his bank account in Switzerland that night and found that more than 2000 million US dollars had been deposited into the account during the more than one year that he was in a coma.

Including the remaining funds from before and other ordinary accounts, he now has almost 6000 million US dollars.

Money is a man's courage. Since you have the money, why not spend it all at once?

However, although he agreed, Liao Fan would not be fooled into paying the full amount in one lump sum.

He just thought that Li Yang made a lot of money this time, but who can blame him for only trusting him at the moment? In addition, he had the relationship with Tang Shilong. Finally, when Liao Fan signed the contract, the payment model agreed upon was to pay a 10% deposit first, and then pay 15% after the construction team entered the site. Later, according to the progress of the construction, he would pay a part every time it was approved.

Until the final delivery, Liao Fan will pay 90% of the total amount, and the remaining 10% is a deposit. As long as there are no quality problems with the entire decoration within 3 years, Liao Fan will pay the remaining 10%.

According to the construction plan provided by Li Yang, the entire project will take about half a year. The main trouble is rebuilding the floors and laying fully automatic tracks.

The other soft furnishings are actually very simple.

After arranging the museum's renovation, Liao Fan took some time to return to Shanghai. After bringing back the two books and two other antiques stored in the bank, as well as the two cars in the underground garage, Liao Fan's life returned to its normal state.

But I thought this kind of life would last for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be suddenly destroyed by a text message.

......

That day, Liao Fan had just come out of the study with Qian Zeyang to have tea and rest when he suddenly received a message on his cell phone.

When I opened it, it turned out to be Masao Okayani, whom I hadn't contacted for a long time.

Looking at the person who sent the voice message, Liao Fan hesitated, not sure whether to click it.

For some reason, he suddenly had a premonition that the content of this voice message would disrupt his life, which had finally settled down.

But I also have a hunch that if I choose to ignore it, I will probably feel deep regret about it in the future.

After thinking it over again and again, Liao Fan said goodbye and returned to the secret room, closed the door, and opened the WeChat voice message.

About 20 minutes later, the door of the secret room opened, and Liao Fan, who walked out of the secret room again, no longer had the hesitation on his face when he first entered, and his whole temperament became somewhat different from before.

"Wilson, please book two tickets to Melbourne soon, one for me and one for Okatani Aoi." "Qiao Lan, for the time being, you stay here and keep an eye on those experts in the office. Don't let them have any bad intentions."

Then, Liao Fan took out his phone and called Okatani Aoi, who was accompanying Tang Yunong on a shopping spree: "Aoi, go directly to the airport to meet me later."

After saying that, without waiting for Wilson's answer, he went directly to the garage and started driving Babos, who had been transferred from the Magic City, straight to the airport.
