636 Treasure of the Beast's Head
While Margaret hugged Chu Qianqian tightly with both hands, she complained that she hadn't seen each other for almost three months.
Chu Xiangqian knew that he was at a loss, so he was naturally full of sweet words.
And Margaret is actually quite coaxing, Chu Xiangqian doesn't even need to send jewelry or anything.
Just a few words of love for you, and then backhand hugged Margaret tightly, so that this chick felt the power of Chu Xiangqian's hand, and felt that Chu Xiangqian really missed her.
The resentment in my heart quickly dissipated most of it.
Otherwise, this woman is a love brain.
After getting into the car, Margaret had a smile on her face, her eyes were full of flattery, she hugged Chu Xiangqian's arm and didn't let go, and muttered about her trivial matters here in London in the past three months.
When the convoy entered the villa on Garden Street, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw the old butler Hawkins and the housekeeper Valentina, with a dozen servants dressed appropriately and standing outside the villa with a serious expression to greet him and Margaret.
But Chu Xiangqian knew very well in his heart that these English housekeepers and servants actually had no respect for themselves, Asians.
At the end of the day, it's just an employment relationship.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian was open-minded, knowing that these Englishmen, even when facing the big nobles, most of them only applied for a job.
I want them to respect the master's family in their hearts, whether ancient or modern, or Chinese and foreign, the only way to make money is to take them.
Or give them power.
Therefore, Chu Xiangqian's requirements for these people are very simple, work hard, chew your tongue less, and keep everything in the villa confidential according to the provisions of the signed contract.
Fortunately, on the issue of confidentiality, these people did fulfill their promises, and Chu Xiangqian also paid a sum of money for this, which was 50% higher than the normal employment salary.
Otherwise, his relationship with Margaret would have appeared in the English media a long time ago.
After the car stopped steadily, Hawkins Butler stepped forward to open the car door with a smile and bowed to Chu Qianqian who got out of the car, "Welcome home, sir." ”
Chu Xiangqian also nodded with a smile, "How is your health lately?" ”
Hawkins hurriedly replied that he was not bad, lest Chu Xiangqian dismiss himself on the grounds of health.
To be honest, the time Chu Xiangqian lives here may not even be a month a year.
So in the eyes of the elder Hawkins, staying in the villa to work is not only not much different from retirement, but the annual income is higher than when he served the royal family.
In addition, his son worked as a housekeeper in the manor on the outskirts of Margaret, and by the way, next to the manor, a small ranch belonging to Chu Xiangqian, was also handed over to Little Hawkins to manage.
So the elder Hawkins is probably the person who wants Chu Xiangqian to be good the most among all the employees.
Chu turned forward and led Margaret out of the car, and then said hello to the housekeeper and other employees, and then took Margaret's hand and entered the villa.
After lunch, Chu Xiangqian, who was sitting at the dining table, was about to go upstairs to play a game with Margaret, whose eyes were full of flattery.
But I didn't want to get up before the phone rang not far away.
Not long after Hawkins answered, he walked over and whispered, "Sir, Sir Norton has asked if you are free in the afternoon, and he wants to come and visit you, and by the way, talk about a batch of Celestial Antiques." ”
As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that it must be that this kid Nuodu took the initiative to acquire a lot of Celestial Dynasty antiques in order to get more tiger bone wine to please himself.
After thinking about it, anyway, that Norton kid came over and said half an hour less.
Even if he came early, I'll wait.
Nodding at Hawkins, Chu Xiangqian pulled Margaret, who had just thought that she would not be able to play in the afternoon, and her face was unhappy, to go upstairs.
It didn't take long for the sound of heavy breathing during the gym to be heard in the bedroom.
To be honest, Margaret seems to be a European and American woman, but in terms of physical strength and endurance, she is actually stronger than Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng and Fei Fei.
Compared with Linda, Alisa, and Qin Huairu, it is much inferior.
In just half an hour, Margaret begged Chu Qianqian for mercy again and again, saying that she couldn't run anymore.
Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to wash, and when he was dressed neatly, his hair was combed and shiny.
Walking downstairs, it was actually only 1 hour, but Norton had been waiting in the living room for at least 40 minutes.
Seeing that Chu Xiangqian finally came down, Norton hurriedly got up to meet him and said, "Master, long time no see." ”
Chu Qianqian glanced at this kid, at the third race of the horse racing championship in mid-September, this kid stayed in a private room with him.
Counting it, it's only two and a half months.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Norton smiled awkwardly, thought for three or four seconds, sorted out his words, and then spoke, "Master, after the dragon head and horse head of the twelve zodiac beast heads appeared in those antiques I traded with you last year, didn't you say that you wanted to collect all the other ten pieces?"
I have been searching for it for a year, and I finally bought the rat head and the cow head from two collectors, the French and the Spanish. ”
Chu Xiangqian's face was overjoyed after hearing this, and Norton saw Chu Xiangqian's expression and knew that he had done the right thing.
Then he pointed to the two boxes in the living room, "I've already brought the stuff, and you'd probably guess that the chicken head seller told my collector a story." ”
Chu Xiangqian, who originally wanted to determine the authenticity of the two beast heads for the first time, suddenly moved in his heart after hearing this.
Isn't it a treasure?
Chu Xiangqian immediately remembered that the No. 5 treasure house in the Tianzhu Temple had been opened by Sable.
Thinking of the treasures in the treasure vault, if the estimate was correct, it would definitely not be lower than the value of the gold, jewels and antiques he had stolen before, Chu Xiangqian was not much interested in the treasure that Norton said.
It was hard for Chu Xiangqian to believe that the treasure in Norton's mouth would be higher than the price of the treasure in the Tianzhu Temple.
After all, a large number of media had reported in the previous life, and the treasure stolen by Chu Xiangqian alone was worth billions.
And there are even more treasures in Treasure Five.
Even such a big treasure, Chu Xiangqian didn't rush to take it, and the treasure in Norton's mouth was not attractive enough.
And one is clearly existent, and the other still needs to be found, and even after spending countless energy, it may not really exist.
If anyone else, they will probably be as indifferent as Chu Xiangqian.
But Norton pulls out an old photograph of a group of uniformed ghosts, not to mention, holding all sorts of treasures in their hands.
Among them, the most obvious are the four heads of dragons, snakes, dogs and sheep.
Coupled with the fact that the previous owner of this chicken head was also a French earl, Chu Xiangqian's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately remembered the twelve zodiac signs photographed by Uncle Long.
The seller who secretly sold the chicken head to Norton could not be the father of the countess, right?
If his guess was true, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but think of the gold nugget hidden inside a huge tree in the movie.
According to the volume of the giant tree, the gold in the tree is at least one cubic meter.
One cubic meter of gold represents 19.3 tons.
Thinking about it this way, based on the fact that one ton of gold is equal to 35,374 ounces and $38 per ounce, that batch of gold is at least $30 million.
But in a few decades, that's nearly a billion dollars.
Chu Xiangqian said that it was fake if he was not moved, but when he thought that there were still treasures of Tianzhu Temple waiting for him, he suddenly lost much motivation.
But after thinking about it, not looking for it now does not mean that you will not look for it when you are free in the future.
He even bought a bigger yacht, took his daughter-in-law out to sea, and let the look around along the Indian Ocean, which was still a route used by sailboats.
As for Norton, Chu Xiangqian could only say sorry in his heart.
Patting Norton on the shoulder, "If you're interested in going on a treasure hunt, I'll personally sponsor you with £50,000." But if you do find the head of the snake and the head of the sheep in this picture.
You'll have to sell it to me, no problem, right? ”
Norton's face was happy at first, but thinking that Chu Qianqian was not going, he didn't have much confidence on his own.
What's more, treasure hunting is often accompanied by various dangers, and without Chu Qian by his side, Norton always feels that the danger will increase exponentially.
I thought that I still had great days to enjoy, and I was in the business of a tiger bone wine distributor last year and this year.
The purchase price is 150 pounds a bottle, but when you sell it yourself, it is 200.
That's £50 per bottle, and more than 2,000 bottles were sold last year alone, and 3,000 bottles this year.
In two years, he earned at least 250,000 pounds.
Combined with the money earned from selling deer glue, it adds up to more than 350,000 pounds.
It can be said that Norton has lived a very chic life in the past two years by relying on Chu Qianqian.
Not to mention that if you negotiate with Chu Xiangqian today for next year's share, it will be an income of more than ten or two hundred thousand pounds.
So Norton only hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Master, if you are willing to go in search of treasure, then I will definitely follow you." If you don't have time, you'll have to postpone it.
Anyway, this treasure has been gone for nearly a hundred years, and I don't care about waiting for another year and a half. ”
Chu Xiangqian was happy in his heart, but he pretended not to be interested in his face and said, "Let's not talk about whether the treasure really exists, the French count who told you the news may want to follow us to pick up the bargain."
Otherwise, if it were you, you would tell the news to others? ”
Norton was not stupid, and before coming over to see Chu Xiangqian, he told his grandfather Mountbatten the news.
The old man's thoughts were similar to Chu Xiangqian's, and he even said that the Earl's family had organized at least 4 exploration teams.
It's a pity that after more than ten years, not only did he not find the treasure, but he also spent most of the family's wealth.
Now there is no money to continue organizing treasure hunting teams.
So what Mountbatten means is that the so-called treasure, 9 out of 9 is fake.
But Norton was a little unconvinced, so he thought about telling Chu Xiangqian about it, expecting that he would be interested and spend money and efforts to go to sea to find it.
Chu Xiangqian saw that Norton didn't speak, and knew that this kid was probably still unwilling, but it didn't matter, the treasure was not so easy to find.
And Chu Xiangqian is not mistaken, near the island where the treasure is located, there are two huge stone pillars.
Viewed from a specific angle, two stone pillars separated by tens of meters will be combined into an arch.
However, if you drive this ship to find it, it is very easy to overlook this landmark.
Only by looking down from the sky can you easily find this huge stone arch.
——
Chu Xiangqian negotiated with Norton that he would sell him three thousand bottles of tiger bone wine and one thousand boxes of deer glue next year, and then chatted with Norton for a while.
Then check whether he has practiced kung fu seriously in the past six months, and then send this kid away.
Chu Xiangqian also had time to check the rat heads and chicken heads sent by Norton.
Opening the box, Chu Qianqian looked at it for at least ten seconds, and felt in his heart that these two beast heads were definitely not fakes.
Sure enough, when I reached out to touch it, the prompt sound in my head only added a dozen gold coupons to each piece.
In fact, the price of the beast head in the future is so high, and more foreigners will speculate on it.
So now the two beast heads actually only cost 20,000 US dollars.
After admiring it carefully for more than an hour, it wasn't until Margaret got up and came downstairs to find him that Chu Xiangqian took his mind off the beast's head.
The days that followed were all at once.
Chu Xiangqian returned to London, and unknowingly passed 1 week.
Chu Xiangqian and Margaret had also gone to the manor in the suburbs, and by the way, they called Nata's chick to the manor.
lest Margaret alone can't cope with Chu Xiangqian.
And in this one, Chu Xiangqian also found the target of Tang Lianxin's statement through the. Kane.
It's just that this guy doesn't seem to be doing very well, and even Chu Xiangqian found that there were suspicious people around John through the observation of the.
Chu Xiangqian understood after a little thought that it must have begun to suspect on the side of the infant country, and even suspected that there was something wrong with John.
But he has never been able to catch him, and he has not found any evidence that he is a spy, so he can only send people to monitor him, rather than arrest him directly.
Chu Xiangqian naturally did not touch these surveillance personnel, but let the sables go all the way through half of London and enter the place where John lived to check if there was any confidential information.
Chu Xiangqian knew that his idea was a little unrealistic, but he still planned to search for it first.
Anyway, even if John found a stingray, he couldn't have imagined that an animal the size of a mouse would be a spy.
And stingrays are good at burrowing, even rocks can dig through.
Just one day, the house where John lives has been dug out of a dozen rat holes by stingrays.
And these holes are all in the wall, or in the partition, and when John came home from work, he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
But Chu Xiangqian couldn't find the secret room or the hidden safe.
It's actually normal to think about it, the red polar bear has an impeachment bomb, and it was August 49.
More than ten years have passed since now, and if it were Chu Xiangqian, it would be impossible to keep the information of the year by his side.
The only thing I can look forward to now is that there is a backup of the information back then.
Otherwise, they can only capture John alive and bring the people directly back to the Celestial Empire.
It's just that in this way, he can't be rude to John, lest this guy be caught back to the Celestial Empire, and if he is angry, he will either not recruit him.
Either deliberately providing the wrong data and technology.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry for the time being, and he knew very well in his heart that even if he didn't do anything, in about two and a half years, the Celestial Empire would be able to develop an impeachment bomb.
Now I want to get the information that John handed over to the polar bear back then, but I just want to learn from it in order to speed up the development of the Celestial Empire's impeachment bomb.
Continue to let the stingrays hide in John's house, while the keep an eye on where John goes when he goes out during the day.
It's just like this, and a full month has passed quietly.
