Chapter 196: This treasure hunt is not easy!
Old John "droved" Zhu Yu and Hans to the table to talk about things, while he leisurely wiped his wine glass, obviously not wanting to participate in the treasure hunt.
Old John made his attitude clear, and when he arrived at the table, Hans sighed, and said:
"Actually, Old John used to be a good treasure hunter, and I tried to ask him for help, but he refused before I could say anything."
Zhu Yu was a little surprised, Old John is also a treasure hunter?
I didn't see it.
Hans grabbed his beer and took a drink, and continued:
"Actually, I'm not from New York, and when I came to New York, I was in my twenties.
My father used to be a treasure hunter, and although he didn't find any world-shaking treasures, he also kept my family fed.
My father's last treasure hunt was in the Amazon jungle in search of lost Mayan treasures.
At that time, my mother was seriously ill, and my father wanted to find treasure and earn money for my mother's medical treatment.
However, when my father finally came out of the Amazon jungle, he brought out a golden wine glass and a wound. Soon after his return, his father died, leaving behind a diary.
We sold the wine glasses to my mother for treatment. But my mother's illness was not cured in the end......"
Hans hadn't told anyone about it for a long time, and he talked about it for a long time.
It's like an old man talking to his juniors about the first half of his life.
Hans found clues about the treasure in his father's diary.
The diary states that the treasure is a relic left behind by a Mayan wizard. Among them are a large number of gold and silver products. Hans's father had only found a outlying residence of the wizard's tribe, but the real treasure was at another sacrificial location.
When Hans's father wanted to go further, he was attacked by the inhabitants of the primitive tribe, so he hurried back, wanting to heal his wounds before going, but he never had a chance to go back.
When Hans was young, he also wanted to go treasure hunting, but he got lost not long after entering the Amazon, and eventually ran into a tribe that had traded with the outside world and was sent out.
Later, although I also looked for someone to find this treasure, I either gave up halfway or returned empty-handed every time.
Hans was also a collector, or antiquities dealer. There is also some money on hand by buying and selling, but it is basically used for treasure hunting again and again.
Zhu Yu asked:
"Didn't you think that this treasure could be fake, or that you didn't have the luck to get it?"
Hans sighed and said:
"I used to think so. But the two times I've been, the latter one is the most well-prepared and closest to the treasure!
I even heard the legend of the wizard in the jungle tribe, and there are some rudimentary frescoes that prove the existence of this treasure......"
Hans finished talking about the treasure, and then looked directly at Zhu Yu:
"Zhu, I know your luck is very good! Every time you look for treasure, you don't end up empty-handed! I hope to be able to use your luck to find this treasure and let my father, and I, not take this wish to heaven for the rest of our lives! β
To be honest, Zhu Yu is still quite tempted.
It's not just because of this treasure, but because of the amount of information in my mind that I get from the crystal skull, I can only verify it by going to the Mayan ruins.
But if he let himself go there alone, Zhu Yu still needs to think about it.
Now it's different, there is a trip that can be passed in the bright past, someone accompanies you, and you will pay for yourself, so why not go?
But reason soon suppressed this thought, and he said to Hans:
"How do you get paid?"
"Fifty percent! As long as you find the treasure, 50% will be yours! A light of hope rose in Hans's eyes!
For Zhu Yu, he inquired in detail. He wasn't like some people who were jealous of Zhu Yu and thought he had shit luck.
It's not shit luck to be able to find treasures again and again, and get out of it without being hurt in the shit!
"Nope." Zhu Yu shook his head, "You didn't get anything from the previous treasure hunts, if I go and I don't get anything this time, then wouldn't I have to run for nothing?" β
Hans didn't expect Zhu Yu not to take such a big temptation - to help people hunt for treasures, usually treasure hunters or treasure hunters take 30%, which is almost the accepted standard of fees in the industry.
I directly mentioned fifty percent, Zhu Yu didn't even get on the set, this young man is obviously not as simple as it seems on the surface!
"But I don't have much cash." Hans was a little embarrassed, "I almost put my net worth on my own in order to find treasure for the last time, and I don't want to hunt for treasure this time and make myself a poor egg!" β
Zhu Yu didn't answer, that's your business, not mine.
"Zhu, don't you have confidence in finding the treasure yourself?" In order to make Zhu Yu successful, Hans even used the agitation method, "Young man, you have to be a little aggressive, where is your adventurous spirit?" β
Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"Mr. Hans, you must have inquired about me as a person. I wouldn't hunt for treasure without being sure. But if it's a treasure hunt on behalf of others, and there is not enough pay, I won't go! β
Hans saw that Zhu Yu was not moved, sighed and said:
"Alright then, I'll go find someone else."
Zhu Yu watched Hans slowly stand up and leave, and wanted to agree, but reason told him that this Hans was definitely not as emotional as he showed just now.
People are old and refined, and they can't believe it!
Hans left the bar, and Zhu Yu came to the counter.
Old John asked, wiping his glass:
"Didn't negotiate?"
"Nope." Zhu Yu said while turning the bronze pen, "He said that if he finds the treasure, he will give me fifty percent." I wanted to pay a portion of the payment upfront, and he said no. β
"This old Hans, the white wolf with empty gloves! It's still the same set! Old John smiled sarcastically, "You're right, this Hans often does this, and he's very cunning!" β
"John, tell me about Hans, I guess he's not going to stop there."
Old John recounted the life of Hans.
The previous one was similar to what Hans himself said, his mother was seriously ill, and his father returned from a treasure hunt and was seriously injured, and died soon after. My mother later died.
Hans himself began to develop in scalping. But he didn't devote his whole body and mind to finding treasure, as he said.
"Hans has a keen sense of trading, and is often able to collect something inconspicuous but valuable, which makes him a lot of money. Now his family is at least a million. So, don't be fooled! β
Zhu Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Leaving the bar, Zhu Yu went to the goods yard.
When Jason saw Zhu Yu, he was very excited, and ran over shouting "Boshi".
Zhu Yu saw that there were crowds of people in the freight yard dispersed in twos and threes, so he guessed that the container auction had just ended.
"How's it going, is the auction improving?"
"Yes, yes!" Jason was excited, "This one just finished the auction, six containers, each selling for an average of $15,000!" One drove a heavy cargo lift and bid directly for more than $40,000! β
Zhu Yu guessed that this should be one of the highest prices since the auction of the container.
No wonder Jason is excited!
The average of six is fifteen thousand, so it is 90,000 US dollars, and after removing the cost, I can earn 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is much faster than treasure hunting!
"Then everyone will be given a hundred dollars in bonuses, and you will get a thousand." Zhu Yu spoke.
"Thank you, Boss!" Jason immediately made the news out.
The little blacks shouted happily, which was equivalent to an extra day's salary, so they were naturally happy.
Zhu Yu took a symbolic look at the ledger in the past, and Jason said on the side:
"Every week Ms. Cathy would send someone over to check the accounts, and sometimes she would come in person, and our bookkeepers learned a lot."
Zhu Yu understood. Cathy still attaches great importance to this yard.
took Jason to the other two freight yards to take a look, and found that they were very busy, Zhu Yu corrected a little black who was not wearing a hard hat, and then left satisfied.
The next day, Hans didn't call, but Ran Jie told Zhu Yu that his comrades had arrived.
Zhu Yu went to Ran Jie's rental house and saw that in addition to Ran Jie, the other two people were looking at him a little restrainedly.
"Don't be nervous, they're all Chinese, so you don't need to." Zhu Yu greeted with a smile, "My name is Zhu Yu, you should know, what do you call you?" β
"My name is Cao Dalong."
"My name is Qin Fei."
The two men immediately reported their names.
Unlike Ran Jie, who is 1.75 meters tall and has a well-proportioned weight, his two comrades-in-arms have more distinctive figures.
Cao Dalong, as his name suggests, is nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighs at least 80 kilograms, and his muscles are more obvious.
On the contrary, the flesh on his face is whirring, and he laughs at people, and he looks very kind.
Qin Fei's face was rigorous, he was one meter seven tall, and he was a little thin, and Zhu Yu doubted that he had sixty kilograms.
Both of them are inch-headed, and the military temperament is obvious.
"Since you're here, I think Ran Jie told you all. When we get here, then we support each other. How are you two English? β
"I went to high school and forgot my English." Cao Dalong smiled.
"I'm barely able to talk, but I'm going to have to get used to it for a while." Qin Fei said.
"Then the first level, let's pass the language first." Zhu Yu said, "Ran Jie will take you to work in the freight yard first." Treatment...... A thousand dollars a week. By the way, there may be a job recently, going to the Amazon to hunt for treasure from the forest. When Ran Jie and Qin Fei go together, as for the reward at that time, it should be no less than 50,000. β
"Don't, boss!" Cao Dalong immediately became anxious when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Boss, boss, I'm familiar with the jungle!" I'm camouflaged in the jungle, interspersed or something, then the whole brigade is in front of the platoon! Can you take me with you this time? β
"Nope." Zhu Yu shook his head, "You pass the language barrier first." If you go this time, there must be a lot of people in the team. At that time, you alone can't understand, if you get separated from me and Ran Jie, wouldn't it be troublesome? β
Cao Dalong saw Zhu Yu's resolute attitude, so he had no choice but to give up. It's a pity that there are more than 300,000! That's all for one trip!
But he reacted immediately.
What Ran Jie said was right!
This boss is bold!
It will cost more than 300,000 yuan in one trip, although it is not as much as Ran Jie said, but people have said it, at least!
There will be a chance in the future!
Looks like we're going to have to pick up the English!
Who would have thought that one day they would use it?
Although Qin Fei's eyes showed a hint of eagerness, his expression was generally calm.
This is a man with a lot of cities!
Zhu Yu called Jason, and then took Ran Jie, Qin Fei, and Cao Dalong to the house that Jason had boughtβyes, Jason had already changed to a new home.
After following Zhu Yu for more than half a year and earning more than 100,000 US dollars, Zhu Yu lent him money and let him buy a single-family courtyard, which is not far from the villa.
In this way, Ran Jie's meal is basically at Jason's house.
The symbolic payment of food expenses is much more convenient.
When he arrived at Jason's house and saw that he was eating Chinese food, Cao Dalong was a little surprised:
"Are you still eating this here?"
Ran Jie rolled his eyes:
"Be content! Otherwise, I'll go outside and buy you a hot dog burger or something, and you can eat it? β
"Forget it!"
Freya was very happy to see Zhu Yu arrive, she wore an apron and smiled at Zhu Yu, and then went in to cook again, her steps were much lighter.
Qin Fei saw it in his eyes and didn't speak.
Roasted beef with potatoes, a large plate of chicken, fried fish pieces, fried lamb chops plus a few small cold dishes, and drank some wine, which can be regarded as a catch for Cao Dalong and Qin Fei.
At the beginning, Cao Dalong and Qin Fei were still a little unable to let go, but as soon as the wine was drunk, Qin Fei was fine, and Cao Dalong began to call Zhu Yu brothers.
At this time, Zhu Yu answered an unexpected phone call and walked out.
Ran Jie immediately told Cao Dalong about it.
Zhu Yu is the boss, it's his business if he doesn't have a shelf, if you really do this, then you won't have to do it in the future.
Cao Dalong was said to be red-faced, and he was embarrassed to lower his head.
In the past half a year, Jason has also become proficient in Mandarin, he patted Cao Dalong on the shoulder and said:
"Boss doesn't care, he's a good Boss, and that's why we should respect him more. Well, let's eat, and if nothing else, you might have a new life soon! β
The call came from Hans, and he still didn't hold up.
Zhu Yu was proud, and he guessed correctly.
However, there was no show in his tone, and he asked politely:
"Mr. Hans, how are you thinking about it?"
Hans sighed and said:
"Mr. Zhu Yu, I don't think you know enough about the treasure I'm looking forβ"
"I just want to be more secure." Zhu Yu interrupted him.
"Oh well. I have a suggestion, I have a lot of collectibles, among which you also have some Huaxia, if you can fancy it, then ......"
Zhu Yu thought to himself, shouldn't I let you know about Pan Sen making a bronze man for me, right?
That is to say, the news is not so widespread, and Lao Mei does not care much about international affairs, especially in China.
I wonder what Pan Sen would think if he knew that someone would pay one billion yuan, that is, 150 million US dollars, to buy the bronze man?
You know, the total value of what he got from that treasure hunt was less than $100 million!
In that case, let's go check it out?
If you can get another heavyweight, then you will be happy!
Of course, Zhu Yu also thinks about it.
But maybe it's happening?
