Chapter 169 Huaguo Heavy Treasure Appears!

In a small conference room in a five-star hotel in the heart of Madrid, the Spanish capital, there was also a royal delegation with Scott as the center.

Among Steven's entourage was a biochemical bodyguard as the accompanying driver, as well as several legal experts, and several other entourage. After the two sides sat down, Steven looked at the confused Max in front of him and did not speak first.

The reason why it is called the confused phase is because during his tenure as prime minister, Max's contribution to Spain was limited, especially in the economic aspect, and he worked on the revitalization of the economy, sometimes shrewd, sometimes confused. It was described as a confused appearance by the outside media.

Scott, the royal delegation, opened his mouth first and asked, "Dear Mr. Steven, can we take a look at those things first?" ”

Steven nodded, motioning for the people around him to hand them the photos they had prepared the morning. The Spaniards took the thick stack of photographs and gathered around them, all squeaking in admiration at the beautiful gold cutlery in the photographs. However, the royal family, after seeing the photos of the gold tableware, focused more on Phoebe Bourbon's portable sword.

"It's Phoebe's sword, yes, it's the same as the historical records!" On the side of the royal family, an elderly man held this thin photo in his hand, trembling with excitement.

According to historical records, the sword of Phoebe was a huge extraterrestrial meteorite that Marquis Phoebe found in the South American country of Chile, and then invited a world-famous swordsmith to cast it. Marquis Phoebe then wore the sword with him until he disappeared with Marquis Phoebe. I didn't expect it to be 400 years later. We were lucky enough to see the legendary Phoebe's Sword again. ”

The old man was excited and burst into tears. This man is none other than him. Because the marquis title that their family now inherits comes from Phoebe Bourbon. Although in terms of blood, Marquis Phoebe is already very weak, Marquis Phoebe is still the pride of their family.

"The badge is indeed the bourbon coat of arms of the golden age!" On the royal side, you have basically determined the authenticity of these things.

Prince Scott opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Steven, I wonder where Phoebe's Sword is now?" ”

The corners of Steven's mouth rose slightly, and he knew that the Spanish royal family could no longer sit still. He's also looked up the information these days. Phoebe Bourbon was a hero of the Bourbon family of the Golden Age, as a marquis, Marquis Phoebe joined the Spanish fleet, escorted Spanish treasure ships several times, and sank dozens of enemy fleets. And the Marquis of Phoebe had a very high reputation in the Spanish Empire at that time, if it were not for his disappearance. When the last Spanish king of the Spanish Habsburgs had no successor, it was likely that the Bourbon family of Marquis Phoebe would succeed the Spanish king. It can be said that Phoebe Bourbon was an important figure in the Bourbon family, and in the following hundreds of years, the Bourbon family did not have a family member with excellent military talent. The Kingdom of Spain was also succeeded by the Bourbons. has been declining, until now it has been directly reduced to a second-rate country in Europe.

"Phoebe's sword is naturally still in my Boss's hand. Boss had already explained to me before he came, to negotiate with the Kingdom of Spain, if the Kingdom of Spain can satisfy Boss, not only Phoebe's sword, but also the complete diary that Marquis Phoebe carried with him, can all be handed over to the Kingdom of Spain. "Steven, this is a tiger skin, no way, Boss's name is too good. This Boss is not an ordinary businessman, but he is a strongman who makes the entire Western world bow his head with the power of one person. It is also because of a strongman like Boss that Steven can walk in the Western world and be unscrupulous.

"A complete journal!" The members of the Spanish royal family suddenly exclaimed, this is also an important thing, even no less than Phoebe's sword.

At this time, Max saw that the royal family was about to be defeated, and he hurriedly interjected. The government is different from the royal family, the government is poor, they don't have the money to buy gold tableware. If the members of the royal family surrender now, no matter how tough the government's side is, there is no way.

"Mr. Steven, as we understand it, the Marquis of Phoebe Bourbon was a captain of the Royal Spanish Navy, and he has lived on warships all his life. His last disappearance was also accompanied by his warship. Therefore, we, the Spanish government, have reason to believe that these items were salvaged from your deep-sea salvage operation. Therefore, we, the Spanish government, would like to express our gratitude for Zhang's behavior, and hope that your Mr. Boss Zhang will be able to hand over these things to the Spanish government smoothly, and Zhang will gain the friendship of the Spanish government! Max said eloquently, as if it were worth the friendship of the Spanish government. Not to mention the Spanish government, but the friendship of the United States government, his waves are not necessarily rare, let alone a small Spain?

"Max, I think you must be sick again, otherwise you wouldn't make such a joke? What evidence do you have that my boss is engaged in salvage, maybe it was just my boss playing at the beach and accidentally appeared on the beach? So, please don't make such jokes, my Boss is a good law-abiding citizen who will not do anything against the law. Steven argued, and didn't give Max any face, and accused the other party of being confused.

Maxton's old face was red and he couldn't speak, what the outside world called him, he naturally knew that when Steven said it to his face at this time, he was naturally angry, how to say that he was also a national minister.

"Mr. Steven, whether it was salvaged or not, you and I both know it, if you don't agree to this kind of thing, then I can only apologize, we will file a public prosecution with the International Court, I hope Mr. Steven will not regret it then!" On the government's side, another official spoke.

Steven didn't speak, stood up directly, and said: "Then we will wait for the summons from the international court, but before that, we will directly entrust the auction house to conduct the auction." When the time comes, it will be bought by other countries, but don't blame us for not thinking about you Spain in advance. ”

With that, Steven turned around and left. No way, he's so awesome now. There is **oss backing behind him. A tiny Spain. He didn't care about it at all.

Moreover, the legal experts around him have already sued him that if the Spanish government does appeal to the International Tribunal, it is unlikely that they will lose the case. And this lawsuit is likely to take a long time, or even drag on, because there is no evidence that the Boss was present during the salvage of the Spanish warship. Previously, the Spanish government won the lawsuit against Odyssey because Odyssey was too high-profile and directly advertised to the world that they had salvaged the Spanish warship Mercedes. In fact, the International Salvage Law has long been regulated. All items salvaged on the warship will be owned by all the warships. Only salvaged merchant ships or freighters, 9o% of the value of the goods in them belongs to the salvage owner, and the remaining 1o% goes to the cargo owner. Odyssey is brainless, engaged in the salvage industry, but did not thoroughly study the "International Salvage Law", and took it for granted that everything salvaged on the international high seas is owned by itself. And even if they are salvaged, they don't know how to make a lot of money, but instead preach their "great deeds" to the world.

Spain has no direct evidence that these things were salvaged by Zhang Lie, and there are countless reasons on their side. Justify the origin of these things, so Steven they are not afraid at all.

Return to your hotel. Steven was not in a hurry to leave, because he knew that the reason why the government was tough was because they were poor and wanted to get something for nothing. But the royal family is different, inheriting the wealth of Golden Spain for hundreds of years, and the Bourbon family for hundreds of years, the royal family is very, very rich. They are also sensible, and it is simply impossible to get these things for free.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Steven received a call from his assistant saying that Prince Scott of the royal family had arrived.

In the suite's study, Steven met the current king's second son and second in line to the throne.

"Mr. Steven, please forgive the daylight, it is only the opinion of the government, and it has nothing to do with our Bourbon family. We know that no matter how Mr. Zhang obtained these things, the price to pay will definitely not be small. We Bourbon never let our friends suffer, and we are willing to buy the Bourbon family's things. Scott said politely, with a sincere attitude, and he didn't know that he really thought he was friends with Zhang Lie.

"I don't know how much the Bourbon family is willing to pay for these things, the status of the Marquis of Phoebe in the Bourbon family, and I also know how precious his sword and diary are, I think the whole world knows." Since Steven came to the royal family, he knew the value of this thing, and the royal family would definitely pay a certain price in order to get it. Although they can also redeem at auction, there are too many variables at the auction, and if they are snapped up by hostile forces, then it will be troublesome.

"Mr. Steven, before I came, I also brought two things, please Mr. Steven take a look, especially your Bourbon Zhang, if Zhang is willing, we are willing to exchange these two items for those two items of the Bourbon family." Scott also pulled out two photos from his briefcase. Then he respectfully handed it to Steven.

Steven didn't care at first, and when he took the photo, he still didn't care. What are these things, two bronze beasts? What's this, can these two bronze beasts be exchanged for Phoebe's Sword and Phoebe's Diary?

Scott saw Steven's slightly contemptuous eyes, and suddenly thought that Steven was a real Chinese, and he didn't necessarily know the history of China.

He hurriedly explained: "Mr. Steven, these two things are the national treasures of Huaguo lost overseas, and your Boss, as a Chinese, must know the importance of these two treasures. I think you report this to Zhang, and he will definitely agree to this deal. ”

When Steven heard this, he hurriedly checked the relevant information of the two bronze beasts on the computer in front of his desk, and learned that this was indeed a treasure of China, and the Chinese government had been secretly pursuing these lost treasures overseas for all these years.

"Didn't the information say that this thing was looted by the British and French forces? Why is it in the hands of your Bourbons? Steven asked, and decided to report the matter to Boss.

"Mr. Steven may not know that, although the Spanish royal family is Bourbon, our Bourbon family has a very important position in the whole of Europe, and our family has ruled France, Luxembourg, Navarre, Naples, Sicily, and Italy. Especially in France, although our Bourbon family later lost its dominance, it still has a lot of influence in France. And these two things were brought back from China by our Bourbon family members. Scott explained, and Steven remembered that the Bourbons, like the Habsburgs, were indeed the big families that influenced the whole of Europe. It was not uncommon for them to have these treasures in their hands, but he did not expect that the Bourbon family would personally participate in the robbery of Huaguo.

Steven knew the ins and outs and told Scott to wait, and he walked out of the study and found a secluded spot to contact his Boss.

At this time, Zhang Lie can be said to be reversed yin and yang, he doesn't know the time outside, he sleeps when he dozes off, and stares at the pitch-black seabed when he doesn't doze.

After receiving a call from Steven, he was about to rest for a while, but he hadn't closed his eyes for more than ten hours, and there were too many things that could not be salvaged. Not to mention the coins and gold, except for a small part left, everything else was smelted. The remaining cultural relics of the Western world were all sorted out by Zhang Lie. It was so large that he wanted to vomit when he saw it.

"Steven, come on, what's the good news!" Zhang Lie half-squinted, ready to rest at any time, with his strong body, he was a little unbearable, but the workload was huge.

"That's right, I'm in Madrid, the capital of Spain, and the negotiations with the Spanish government are not going well, but the Spanish royal family is very interested in the Phoebe's Sword and Phoebe's diary, and they offer to exchange the snakes and sheep from the twelve bronze beasts of the Old Summer Palace in China. I don't know the value of the two bronze beasts, Boss, do you think they can be exchanged? Steven briefly recounted, and he could tell that Boss was tired.

When Zhang Lie heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, but he didn't expect that this incident would lead to snakes and sheep that had disappeared all along. If these two treasures are returned, then he is a sincere hero. However, it seems that the title of hero is not too valuable, but it is necessary to bring these two beasts back to China. I didn't know it before, but now that I know, I have to get it.

"Steven, did they say how these two beasts came to be?" Zhang Lie asked.

"Among the Anglo-French forces that invaded the Qing Kingdom, there were members of the Bourbon family, and these two beasts were brought back by the Bourbon family members." Steven replied truthfully.

"Okay, since there are members of the Bourbon family, there are other treasures to rob, this time I have to cheat him out of a few treasures no matter what!" Zhang Lie said hatefully. (To be continued!)
