The matter of "Yongle Grand Canon" came to an end, and after Wen Lao obtained Zhu Yu's consent and released all the photocopies, a wave of wind was set off in the academic circles.

After all, a lot of it is the first time it has appeared, and there are really a lot of things that can be studied.

It is not modest to say that he has written many papers that can be included in core journals.

But this has nothing to do with Zhu Yu.

After the two volumes of "Yongle Canon" were restored, Zhu Yu put things into the space, and it was impossible to take them out in a short period of time unless it was necessary in the future.

As for making contributions, Wen Lao didn't mention it, and Zhu Yu didn't say it.

In fact, both sides know that being able to photocopy the content for research is already a contribution in itself.

After all, cultural heritage is the most important thing. As for the carrier, leave it to yourself.

In the next period of time, Zhu Yu settled down.

I went to the freight yard every day, and when Joanna got out of class, I picked her up to go shopping, watch movies, buy things, and pop.

In fact, Zhu Yu was already thinking about getting married, but firstly, Joanna was still in college, and secondly, she didn't want to get married so early, so she had to wait.

In the yard, the auction of five containers has just ended.

The auctioneer happily took the share and left.

Jason smiled and said to Zhu Yu:

"Boss, it's better to be there when you're there. Each of these auctions had a high bid of more than $30,000 – something that was rare in the previous period! ”

Zhu Yu knew that after he went to the jungle to hunt for treasure, although Jason worked hard, after all, he didn't have the advantage of his own eyes, and secondly, there were more competitors, and he diluted the profits.

So in the late stage before I went to the jungle and came back, basically every auction could have tens of thousands of dollars, and it was considered a success.

Now I come back and auction the unclaimed containers bought in each yard in piles, basically in every auction, there will be large goods, not piled up, and not empty.

Therefore, each auction has made bidders have a "windfall", and for a period of time, the reputation of this full-time auction yard has risen again, just looking at the number of treasure hunters who came to participate in the auction today reached more than 40 people, it is almost clear.

How many treasure hunters are active in the entire New York Harbor?

At least half of them are here today!

That's amazing!

In fact, Zhu Yu feels that this kind of life is quite good, although it is not exciting, but at least it is stable.

In the distance, Ran Jiefei and Qin Fei had no opinions, but Cao Dalong, who was standing with them, had an opinion.

To protect Zhu Yu, the salary is naturally higher than in the freight yard, but compared to Ran Jie and Qin Fei's last time, he got hundreds of thousands of dollars, so it was really pediatric.

Cao Dalong thinks that he is no worse than his two comrades-in-arms, but he doesn't take as much money, so he must have ideas.

However, Zhu Yu can't be the master if he doesn't go out to hunt for treasures, and he can only hold back his thoughts if he has ideas.

It's better than being a security guard.

The auction is over, and it's still early to see the time, Jason invited Zhu Yu:

"Boshi, will you go to my house for dinner at noon? Freya said that she had learned a new Chinese delicacy and wanted to show it to you. ”

"Good. Let her do more. Zhu Yu thought that there was nothing to do anyway, and there would be an auction in the afternoon, so he nodded and agreed.

Jason called happily, and at this time, Zhu Yu's mobile phone also rang.

When I picked it up, it was Old John's, Zhu Yu picked it up, and John said over there:

"Zhu, someone came to you and wanted to ask you to help you find the treasure, you see ......"

"Is it someone you know?" Zhu Yu is indispensable, whether it's treasure hunting, it's nothing if you don't look for it.

"I was introduced by an old friend, of course, for your fame." John said, "This kind of business thing, you see for yourself, don't think about my factor." ”

It is impossible not to think about it.

Old John had already said that Zhu Yu naturally wanted to go over and have a look, so he asked:

"Where are the people? I would like to talk more carefully before deciding. ”

"In my bar."

When Zhu Yu, Ran Jie and the others passed, Old John glanced at the other three and said to Zhu Yu:

"They're all nice lads, and you really need them around."

Then he pointed to a white man in his thirties sitting by the window and said, "That's him, Luke Paris, according to my old friend, a journalist who occasionally gets clues and wants to find someone to work with." ”

Zhu Yu nodded, signaling Ran Jie to do whatever they wanted, and he went to Luke's table.

Luke is almost 1.8 meters tall, but he is relatively thin. The suit he wore looked very decent. But Zhu Yu, who has the blessing of Tianyan, can see that this suit has not been short, and several shallow stains have not been washed, or they cannot be washed.

Luke was supposed to be freshly shaved, but I don't know if it was a hurry or a razor's problem, and there were a few minor cuts on his chin.

There were some bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and the circles around his eyes were blue, probably because he hadn't rested well for a long time.

"Hello, I'm Zhu Yu." Zhu Yu took the initiative to introduce, "It is said that you have a clue to the treasure?" ”

"I didn't expect you to be so young!" Luke didn't mention the treasure, but said with a look of surprise, "Are those rumors true?" ”

Zhu Yu shrugged his shoulders: "If you believe it, it's true." If you don't believe it, it's hearsay. I don't need to explain, I think. ”

Luke didn't expect Zhu Yu to say this, he hesitated for a moment and explained in a low voice:

"I'm not questioning your abilities, the main thing is that it's a very large asset. I don't want more people to know about it – I mean, I don't want the fortune to end up ungotten and the news to spread all over the world. ”

"I think you should understand, or rather think clearly; Now the things that are spread about me in the circle of treasure hunters are all successful. It's not been a long time coming, but at least I haven't failed. ”

Zhu Yu has this proud capital.

How many veteran treasure hunters and treasure hunters have fallen in the sand in front of treasures like Peter and Hans, but in the end it is only themselves who harvest the gold.

This alone is enough to be proud of more than nine out of nine peers.

Luke thought about it, and then said seriously:

"Then I think I can trust you."

"Let's talk about the situation first, I won't necessarily take over." Luke thought that he agreed to cooperate with Zhu Yu to give Zhu Yu a chance, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yu's side also needed to choose a collaborator.

Seeing that Zhu Yu treated himself like this, Luke couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Did you know that if I let this news out, a large number of treasure hunters will come to me to cooperate?" Luke raised his voice.

"Then you can go to them." Zhu Yu really didn't care at all, and he wasn't in a hurry at all, "We can end the conversation happily, by the way, I'll invite you today." ”

Luke's mouth opened wide, he really didn't expect Zhu Yu to have such a personality!

But thinking about Zhu Yu's "record", Luke has to admit that Zhu Yu has this willful capital!

"So, let me talk about it first." Luke finally decided that he could try to cooperate with Zhu Yu, so he decided to release limited information:

"I'm a journalist and I work part-time to write autobiographies for some old people. There was a time when I was writing an autobiography of an old banker and I got a message. ”

Luke said this and looked at Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu motioned for him to continue.

Luke continued:

When he was younger, he said, his bank was responsible for storing and transporting Fed gold.

Then, on one occasion, robbers came to the bank, armed with heavy firearms, and robbed them of almost five million dollars worth of gold from their vaults—five million at the time. ”

Luke looked at Zhu Yu and explained:

"That was more than 30 years ago, and now, it's gone up seven or eight times."

Zhu Yu nodded, but didn't ask anything.

Zhu Yu's attitude made Luke a little anxious.

If the other party maintains this attitude, then the initiative will not reach his own hands at all, and the rest of the plan will not be able to be carried out.

This person has to be piqued!

"According to my analysis, this batch of gold was not actually spent by the robbers in the end!"

"Huh? How did you analyze it? Zhu Yu was barely a little interested.

"Because according to the old banker, when these robbers robbed the bank, two of them were injured, and no one died.

After the incident, the police traced and circled the whereabouts of the robbers, and then gathered police forces to surround the robbers' residences, and a shootout ensued between the two sides.

According to news reports, three police officers were killed and all four robbers were killed.

But in reality, although the robbers died, the gold was not recovered, and the matter became a suspense. ”

"The gold was not recovered? Where is that hidden? Zhu Yu asked again.

Luke smiled and didn't speak.

Zhu Yu understood, knocked lightly on the table, and then said:

"You mean that the treasure that needs to be found is actually this gold, right? Or, in fact, you have already delineated the general range, but you need someone professional to help you find it, right? ”

"That's right." Luke took a sip of wine with a look of wisdom in his hand, "I spent about two years investigating this matter for this matter, and finally succeeded in narrowing down the scope to a small area. As long as there are professionals, I believe that you will be able to get that gold soon! Get it and we're ready to retire! ”

Zhu Yu tapped the table lightly again.

Theoretically, it works.

But thinking about it, it's a bit like a castle in the air, all with Luke's mouth, and all the clues and information are all he said.

Whether it will be a void in the end, no one can say.

"I advise you not to have any other ideas. No one but me should remember that incident by now. Even if you look for it on the Internet, you may not be able to find it. After all, it was more than thirty years ago. And in order to cover up this matter at the time, the official report did not mention the matter of gold. The police officers involved are basically retired, retired, and deceased, and there are almost no more people who can know about it. ”

Luke's meaning was obvious, and this matter could not be bypassed at all.

"If you cooperate, how do you divide it?"

"I want seventy percent." Luke tilted his chin, "I did everything in the early stage. For two years, I did almost nothing else, and I devoted myself to it. My life is all on the stakes—"

He didn't go on, but his gaze was steadfast.

"I'll take the rest of the thirty?" Zhu Yu was already planning to give up.

Tens of millions of dollars, 30 percent, 10 million?

In fact, it can be done.

"No, you take twenty percent. There is also a collaborator, who has been helping me for the past two years, and then we also need his cooperation, so he wants to take 10 percent. ”

"Then you can find someone else." If it is thirty percent, Zhu Yu can barely consider it, and two percent, forget it, it's not worth it.

Luke didn't expect Zhu Yu to give up directly, he lowered his voice and said eagerly:

"Do you get this thing out? We've got all the work done in the early stages!

All you need to do is find the gold in the area we've delineated! Twenty percent, that's about 10 million dollars!

It may only take you half a month, or even a week! Even among those billionaires, how many of them can make money like this? ”

Zhu Yu shook his head:

"I'm involved in treasure hunting, and if I have it, I'll find it. So, my lowest offer, thirty percent! Otherwise, you can find someone else for this matter! ”

Zhu Yu was not short of money, and he didn't plan to break his rules.

Luke hesitated.

He knew intellectually that he should go talk to a different treasure hunter now.

However, this incident dragged on for two years, and his family was about to fall apart.

He couldn't afford to put it off.

"So...... Give you twenty-five percent......" Luke intends to compromise.

After all, in the treasure hunter line, he inquired that Zhu Yu was currently in the limelight and had the best luck.

Luke felt that his luck had been relatively bad for the past two years, and he needed someone with good luck to take him with him.

"No, thirty percent, not less." Zhu Yu insisted.

"Okay, okay." Luke eventually compromised. However, he comforted himself that even if he took sixty percent, if he really wanted to find the gold, it would be twenty or thirty million, enough to improve his current bad situation and live the rest of his life!

"Okay, let's make an appointment tomorrow, I'll take you to meet the other partner, and then talk about signing a contract."

Now that Luke had agreed, he was a little excited, a little happy, and after taking a sip of the wine in front of him, he stood up and said:

"Leave a contact information, and I'll contact you tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhu Yu left his mobile phone number to him.

After Luke left, Ran Jie and the three of them sat down.

Cao Dalong couldn't wait to ask:

"Boss, is this a treasure hunt?"

"Yes." Zhu Yu looked at his eager gaze and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll take you this time." ”

What Luke said was very ambiguous, but Zhu Yu felt that he was now a little wealthy, and a gentleman was not standing under a dangerous wall, so it was nothing to bring three bodyguards.

At worst, it would be nice to say that he was his assistant.

"Great!" Cao Dalong waved his fist fiercely, "I finally have a place for me!" ”

Ran Jie patted him and said calmly:

"If that's your attitude, then I'd suggest you don't go. Treasure hunting, don't be impulsive! ”

"Don't worry!" Cao Dalong smiled: "It's not that you don't know when you're doing things, and I'm dragging my feet back any time!" ”

Zhu Yu saw that the three of them knew it in their hearts, so he didn't say much.

All that's left is to get ready.

In fact, Zhu Yu is still a little looking forward to it.
