Chapter 100: Summer in Java (Part I)
Chen Badai, who had never eaten in a five-star hotel in his life, was once again shocked by Mr. Min's generosity, and the standard of the reception banquet was extremely high, and the five people actually ate more than 50,000 yuan!
Although many people say that they look down on luxury, but if you really have a luxurious hand, your mentality will be different, and it will make you sharpen your head and want to enter this world of luxury. Chen Badai is like this, looking at the dishes made of ingredients on the table that he has never heard of or even heard of, it doesn't matter if it tastes good or not, when a spoonful of food is worth a month's living expenses of the year, life has been shown in front of him, and it has never been so close, so close that it is at your fingertips! Chen Badai will not let go of his upcoming new life no matter what......
Mr. Min has become accustomed to such a reception, although he has made some preparations, but Xia Ruobing and Sherpa still felt a lot of shock at Mr. Min's generosity, but Wang Xingguo was a little faintly uneasy - behind Mr. Min's attention, it was also an invisible pressure.
Mr. Min is indeed a big spend, and regardless of the accommodation and reception banquet arranged, a million-dollar Land Rover off-road has become a car for Chen Badai and others so casually! Even so, Mr. Min also plans to have a car for Xia Ruobing alone, on the grounds that the place where he lives is a little far away from the city center, and it is inconvenient to have no car.
Chen Badai couldn't help but be a little curious, he had only heard that Mr. Min's business was mainly foreign trade and finance, and archaeology and exploration were just his small interests, but Mr. Min's handwriting was not as simple as an ordinary financial practitioner, Chen Badai couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Min, what kind of business are you doing?" So profitable? ”
"That's a zero-sum game of money." Mr. Min said with a smile.
Chen Badai shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
"It's very simple, I collect funds, then find projects to invest, and then package them to go public, I don't make money in the real economy, but in the financial market, as long as a project is packaged, it is hundreds of millions or even billions of benefits in the financial market." Mr. Min still had that polite smile, and he seemed reluctant to say much about his profession.
"MLM?!" Chen Badai's eyes widened, this financial rule was too far away for him, and the so-called financial trading in his mind was the most contact with pyramid schemes.
"No, no, no, I'm a game that is allowed by law, a game that makes capital run fast." Mr. Min explained a little.
Chen Badai still shook his head, he didn't know how to play this game, but he at least knew that playing with the people who played this game, the money situation was very optimistic.
"However, the financial industry is full of deception, it is just my job, not my hobby." Mr. Min added: "I like history more, and when I explore history, I think about where I came from......
"Mr. Min, you are the kind of person who is so poor that he only has money left, haha." Chen Badai drank some wine and began to speak freely again.
"Dusty history gives people a sense of heaviness and ritual." Mr. Min said, "So, with money, you can pursue your ideals. ”
"Mr. Min, you said this well, haha, ideals, ideals without money are all utopian!" Chen Badai raised his wine glass, didn't wait for Mr. Min to speak, and did it first as a respect.
"Where's your antiques business?" Wang Xingguo asked.
"That's just a commercial operation that comes with exploring history." Wang Xingguo is different from Chen Badai, Wang Xingguo's every question is thought through the brain, but Mr. Min is also prepared for this.
"After all, I'm still a businessman, and cost consciousness is an instinct, but I promise I'm not reselling cultural relics." Mr. Min raised his glass to Wang Xingguo and added.
"If you really find Loulan's treasure, what will you do?" Wang Xingguo asked suddenly.
"In terms of international law, terra nullius is first-served." Mr. Min smiled and said, "But I once had an old man, she would dedicate Loulan's treasures to the country, and I promised her that Loulan's relics would return to where they should be." ”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Mr. Min.
"It seems that people are very interested in my story." Mr. Min asked with a smile.
"Mr. Min, you barely told your story, and this badge you always carry." Chen Badai stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, pointed to the badge on Mr. Min's collar, and said vaguely.
"This is my pact with an old man." Mr. Min sighed and lowered his voice: "20 years ago, she and I searched for the secret of Loulan together, but there was an accident, so I now have to need the help of professional explorers. ”
"You've been fulfilling your contract with your deceased for 20 years?" Chen Badai complimented, but muttered in his heart, is this person stupid? Spend so much money for a dead man!
"Sort of." Mr. Min pretended to shrug his shoulders lightly and said, "But as I get to know Loulan, I become more and more obsessed, and now maybe it's more for my own wishes." ”
Mr. Min gently stroked the badge on his collar: "It's just that she brought me to Loulan, and it was once close enough to reach me." ”
"What kind of accident was that?" Wang Xingguo felt that this badge and the old man meant a lot to Mr. Min.
"An accident I don't want to remember." Mr. Min smiled: "She told me that Loulan will change our fate, I think she is right, maybe it will also change your fate!" ”
Mr. Min politely raised his glass to everyone and ended the conversation. Although Mr. Min said it, he didn't seem to say anything, Wang Xingguo still wanted to ask, but Chen Badai saw that he was about to lose control if he continued to talk, so he hurriedly kicked him under the table.
"Tomorrow I'll ask the driver to bring the equipment, and tonight you will have a good rest, and then everyone will go into intense training, and in two days Dick will pass on the information of Tignaanti to me, I think it will be more detailed than last time." Mr. Min saw that Wang Xingguo still wanted to ask, so he added another sentence, and Wang Xingguo had to swallow the words back into his stomach.
……
On the way back, Chen Badai inevitably complained that Wang Xingguo's words almost ruined his new life, although Wang Xingguo always felt that something was wrong, but what Mr. Min said was completely logical, so he had to convince himself that he would be safe, no matter what Mr. Min's purpose was, he just needed to earn the money he deserved.
"WANG XINGGUO, I'LL TELL YOU, THERE IS MONEY AND HAPPY, NOMONEYNOBB, IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN, DON'T BLAME ME FOR CUTTING YOUR ROBE AND BREAKING YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS!" Taking advantage of the alcohol, Chen Badai finally said a cruel word.
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this, whoever can't get along with your MONEY, you can't get along with whom?" Listening to Chen Badai's chatter all the way, Sherpa felt that it was a little too much, and couldn't help but reply.
"Okay, how can we be a team now, not a gang, Chen Badai is right, Mr. Min is a businessman, and businessmen are talking about what they get from each other, so why bother with what others get?" Xia Ruobing came out to play a round, this Chen Badai and Sherpa fell in love and killed each other, and they had to pinch each other when they found an opportunity, which was not conducive to the unity of the team.
"yes, it's just ...... Some things are uncomfortable in the heart. Xia Ruobing spoke, Wang Xingguo felt much more comfortable, he drove the car steadily, and said.
"Isn't that the end of it?" Chen Badai leaned back on the seat, "Haha, Mr. Min's thighs are thick, and he hugged a lot of silver, anyway, the 5-year contract period, if not, he will be non-violent and non-cooperative, and he will survive 5 years of freedom, and he will have money in his hand at that time, what do you want to do?" ”
"Okay......" Thinking of the difficulties in the past, Wang Xingguo had no better way, and now he felt more and more that Chen Badai was right, the ideal is based on money.
Early the next morning, a small truck pulled the equipment over, and it could be seen that Mr. Min was very delicate, and the diving suits were almost tailor-made. In the next few days, Mr. Min arranged for workers to erect a climbing wall in the lobby of the villa, which is different from ordinary indoor climbing walls, almost completely simulating the situation in the wild, and not using the rock points that are usually seen, it can be seen that Mr. Min has made a lot of money.
More than ten days have passed, the hall is almost decorated, but there is no one to work, these days except for the decoration workers and no outsiders, several people's lives are very regular, get up in the morning to run together, practice rock climbing after breakfast, 3 hours of diving training in the afternoon, and then carry out a night dive in the evening, simple and boring but also very fulfilling.
The only thing that worries Wang Xingguo is that the buyer has not sent the situation on Tinian Island for a long time, and Mr. Min said that he has urged it several times, but the other party seems to be stuck on some procedural issues.
It's not that Mr. Min doesn't want to hurry, but there are still minor troubles to be resolved, and the differences between Dick and his agent seem to be a little difficult to reconcile.
After waiting a few more days, Dick finally called him, "Are your people ready?" ”
"Always be prepared." Mr. Min was shaken and finally started.
"Well, let's gather in Indonesia first, and when we get there, Crussell will arrange it." Dick said, a hint of displeasure in his voice.
"Sharjah Jean hasn't budged yet?" Mr. Min said.
"Hah! Min, there are some things that will only wake up if they face them personally. Dick didn't want to mention the man.
"Are you sure that Sharjah Jean's information is reliable? The crown is on the island of Tinianti? "Mr. Min thought of the most important crown, and as for the other treasures, it was not Mr. Min's concern.
"Min, nothing in this world is certain, but the crown ...... Sharjah Jean at least now doesn't dare to lie to me. Dick said indifferently, "I'm sure Crussell won't let me down." ”
……
"Looking for treasure?!" When Chen Badai heard the word treasure, his eyes lit up.
"The treasures that were left there in the Age of Discovery, we are sure that the crown is with them." Mr. Min laughed.
"This ...... Does the treasure really exist? The corners of Chen Badai's mouth began to droop.
"If the treasure is found, it belongs to us, it's an agreement." Mr. Min reminded.
"Can you sneak some with you?" Chen Badai is surrounded by all kinds of gold utensils in front of his eyes, isn't this how they are all played in the movie?
"That's your problem, but it's better not to, you have to have a work ethic in this business." Mr. Min smiled, "However, most of this kind of treasure hunting is to satisfy a curiosity, and to enjoy the process." ”
"When will you go?" Chen Badai is already eager to try.
"In a week, we will fly from S City to Jakarta, Indonesia, where someone will meet us, someone will arrange everything, and our task is to escort them, find Loulan's crown, solve their troubles, and the rest of the things don't need to be interfered with." Mr. Min said.
"Mr. Min means that there is a third party besides Dick's agent?" Wang Xingguo asked, "And our purpose is different." ”
