Chapter 249: Paying for Greed (Part II)

"Everything is going according to plan, Dick, when the hell are you going to tell me exactly where it is?" The mayor said to Dick on the phone, he couldn't hold back.

"My dear, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you just need to do what I say, and your benefits are indispensable afterwards." Dick laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Okay!" The mayor of the town can only force the impatience in his heart.

A single diamond is enough to change one's own fate, even if you only get one-thousandth of the wealth of this mine, it is enough to change the fate of future generations. In the face of such a temptation of interests, anyone will go crazy, let alone go to the gallows, even if they are hanged 10 times, they will follow one after another.

But Tchaikov didn't know anything about the madness in the town at this time, he underestimated the madness of those aborigines, thinking that if he drove away Dick, and then there was a lesson from the Blood Falls, these ignorant aborigines should be honest, for this operation, Tchaikov had already paid a lot of price, and during the time he left, oil prices bottomed out again, and at this time there was a weak hovering at the bottom, although Tchaikov's group spanned several industries, but oil was his largest main business, At this time, Tchaikov and Sasha were anxious to deal with the company's mess, and they thought that the matter in that bitter cold land was over, at least temporarily, and the recent climate was not good, the weather was getting colder and colder day by day, Tchaikov's men were basically sitting in the base drinking, playing cards, playing this boring time, as long as they survived this winter, there would be new people to take over. This has been going on for many years, and no one will make trouble for themselves, staring at the aborigines every day in the cold storm and snow to see what they are doing, anyway, they have been rummaging in this land for hundreds of years and have not found anything.

Things were going smoothly towards Dick's wishes, and by the time Tchaikov understood that he would have to spend a lot of energy and time to solve the problem, and by the time he reacted, his own affairs had been solved perfectly.

However, at this time, Dick still needs the help of Wang Xingguo and others, otherwise, his own affairs will not be solved. Although he succeeded in keeping people, he still had to convince them that according to Mr. Min, Chen Badai would do anything as long as he gave money, but Wang Xingguo and Xia Ruobing, that was not necessarily.

But this is not difficult for Dick, he is sure that everyone has weaknesses, and if you find his weaknesses, he will do anything you need him to do.

Now the few people who are tormented by the inefficiency of the police are bored, and in this mood, Dick has a great deal of confidence in convincing them.

Xia Ruobing is kind, and so is Wang Xingguo, this kind of good quality may be a weakness at this time, Dick is almost 100% sure that these people will not reject him under a series of operations.

"Miss Xia Ruobing, Mr. Dick wants to invite you to visit, he said it is a very important matter." On this day, everyone was bored to pass the time in the hotel, when one of Dick's bodyguards suddenly visited and said politely to Xia Ruobing.

"Did he ask me to do it?" Xia Ruobing didn't react, she felt that when the farewell banquet that day, the two sides had explained the awkward relationship very clearly.

"No, it's all of you, including your brother, Wang Xingguo, and Mr. Sherpa, everyone." The bodyguard replied in an accentuated tone.

The group arrived at Dick's office, and the secretary of the office said that Dick and Mr. Min were discussing something very important and asked them to wait for the time being. Unexpectedly, the wait lasted nearly two hours, and the secretary prepared some pastries and drinks for them, and left them to roam freely in Dick's office.

At first, Chen Badai could still sit honestly on the sofa, and Sherpa showed interest in the several mineral specimens on display in the office, standing in front of the display case and studying it carefully. Wang Xingguo took a book from the bookcase and read it quietly, Xia Ruobing praised the decoration taste of Dick's office, judging from the simple and elegant decoration style of this office, Dick is not a nouveau riche, and some antique collections still reflect Dick's taste.

Chen Badai has only one interest in these things: how much can it be exchanged for?

"There are some things that cannot be measured by money, and they have historical value." Wang Xingguo saw Chen Badai staring at the antiques in a glass case, appraising it, and said.

"History? Isn't history also measured in terms of money before it came here? Chen Badai pouted, since everyone is rolling in the red dust, what kind of lofty history is it about.

Wang Xingguo smiled, Xia Ruobing threw a disdainful glance at Chen Badai, but Chen Badai felt it: "Miss Xia, what I said is the truth, but I admit that the truth is not too good. ”

Chen Badai said, and his attention shifted to the chair behind Dick's desk, which was not the usual wide and comfortable sofa chair, but a wooden chair with a classical atmosphere.

Chen Badai sat on it with a big grin and felt it, it was not too comfortable, but no matter from which point of view, the history of this chair will not be too short.

Chen Badai was stilting Erlang's legs, looking for a comfortable position on the chair, the office door was pushed open, at this time Chen Badai's two feet were on the chair's not too high armrest, half-lying, and the back was not comfortable by the armrest, he was muttering who would sit on such an uncomfortable chair, when he raised his eyes, he saw Mr. Min and Dick pushing the door in, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Chen Badai stood up with a smile: "Dick, Mr. Min, I'm just ......"

At this time, it is better not to explain, after all, Chen Badai's posture just now is not elegant.

"Mr. Chen Badai, you don't need to explain, it's just as casual as your home." Dick smiled generously.

"Really? Can I take one or two things like I do at home? Chen Badai also joked. However, Xia Ruobing threw a dissatisfied glance at him, making him realize that the joke was very boring.

Dick sat down in his chair and smiled, "I'm sitting on top of $2 million right now." ”

Chen Badai was taken aback, wasn't he half-lying on $2 million just now? It didn't feel comfortable, though.

"This is the chair used by Charlie the Lionheart, which I bought at auction for $2 million," Dick laughs, "He was the greatest warrior in British history, and it is said that when he went on battle, this was his throne." This chair bears witness to history and is invaluable to estimate. ”

I have to admit that Dick's evaluation of King Lionheart is not wrong, this English king who is as famous as Edward with long legs, has been thinking about how to go into battle to kill the enemy all his life, and he will go to the unhappy people of the Middle East when he has nothing to do, and even his death is on the front line in France, worthy of the title of great warrior, but as a king, he doesn't seem to be doing very well.

"It's worth immeasurable, but you still got it for $2 million." Chen Badai muttered in a low voice. These people's ideas are really strange, and they keep saying that they are immeasurable, but in the end, they still implement how much money they have.

"Haha, Mr. Chen Badai, I like your thinking very much, now it is a business society, and you are very business-minded." Dick laughed, this sentence sounded like a compliment to Chen Badai.

"Dick, why did you call us this time?" There is no point in continuing to argue about the value of antiques, Wang Xingguo asked.

"What we're going to talk about next is something immeasurable, at least its value is immeasurable now." Dick sold it, and with that, he slowly took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, opened the mouth of the bag, and poured the contents on the desk with a thud.

"Dick, where did you get that?" Chen Badai's eyes straightened when he saw those things.

Dick casually took one from the middle and handed it to Chen Badai, Chen Badai took it in his hand, his eyes got closer, and turned to the light, this is a gold ring, the gem on the top of the ring has a hint of pink charm, although Chen Badai is not a professional, but he also understands that this small ring is worth a lot.

Xia Ruobing leaned over and saw at a glance that there was a line of Lu Wen engraved on the edge of this ring, which translated: The king gave this ring.

Everyone looked at the things that Dick poured out, they were all small decorative objects, but no matter which one was quite exquisite, each object was engraved with a line of small characters in Lu Wen, and these words undoubtedly strongly proved that they were once the things of the Loulan royal family.

"Mr. Chen Badai, you have $500,000 in your hand at this time. In this small cloth bag, the overall estimated value is about 2 million! I don't want to value them, but they have to have a value," Dick said, spreading his hands, "and it's my own stuff that I spent my own money on......"

"Is this your ancestral?" Wang Xingguo realized something.

"No, it can also be said to be an ancestral heirloom, this is what old Citchell brought out of the royal tomb, once wandered out, and collected back by later generations."

"On the island of Tinianti, Tchaikov is looking for the crown, which was also brought out of the royal tomb?" Wang Xingguo asked.

"Yes," replied Dick crisply, "I admit that old Thatchel has done some not-so-good things, but our family has been diligently collecting Loulan's lost treasures and sending them back so that the curse can be lifted." However, the situation is a little more complicated now, and after hundreds of years of searching, those greedy people now seem to be about to find the entrance to the treasure. Dick spread his hands, a little annoyed.

"They found a diamond mine?" Xia Ruobing was also taken aback.

"This time the Red Dragon disturbance, maybe they saw something, since we left, those crazy people have gone crazy again, they have been searching the wasteland without sleep, two days ago, someone tried to talk to me about the conditions, he said he knew where the entrance to the diamond mine was, but now with his ability, he couldn't get in." Dick said with a shrug.

"He found the entrance?" Sherpa asked, "If you found it, why don't you go in yourself?" ”

"The specific situation is a bit troublesome. You know, mining takes machinery, it takes people, it takes a lot of money. I guess he just found a branch, and he hasn't found the real mine yet, but they're close enough to find it. If you find a diamond mine, you will find a royal tomb. Dick didn't want to explain it too clearly.

"So, what do you mean by coming to us?" Wang Xingguo asked.

"I'm here to settle the matter before these greedy people cause more trouble, and of course, I also want to get rid of the curse of the family......"

"To the mines? A branch can be found for millions of dollars? In the mine, and in the royal tomb of Loulan...... Chen Badai's eyes lit up, and he seemed to see countless shining diamonds and jewels waiting for him.

"As I said, it's immeasurable, but we have to get ahead of the greedy find it......"

Xia Ruobing looked at Wang Xingguo, then at Sherpa, and the two were silent.

"I'll go with Dick again, but it's up to you to decide whether you go or not." Mr. Min, who has not spoken, said.

"Then what are you waiting for, go find it!" Chen Badai couldn't hold his breath anymore and shouted.

Mr. Min turned to Wang Xingguo and asked for his opinion: "Wang Xingguo, now thousands of people are frantically searching in the wasteland, and while we are talking, someone may have died in the battle, the sooner we find it, it will be good for everyone." ”

"Yes, my main purpose is to lift the curse of the family, and if I find it, I don't mind sharing it with those greedy people, as long as they don't disturb the peace of the royal tomb. They have been wandering there like wild ghosts for hundreds of years, and a small diamond can change their fate. Dick said.

"Dick, but human greed cannot be satisfied." Xia Ruobing said. In the face of such a huge temptation of interests, who can guarantee that they will restrain themselves?

"My dear, someone has to pay for greed, and I, who have the ability and am willing to pay for them." Dick said gentlemanly.

"Perhaps, you are also for the salvation of the family." Xia Ruobing asked.

"My dear, the meaning is the same," Dick laughed, "and what is your decision?" ”
