After Chu Xiangqian and Norton finished talking about taking him to a treasure hunt, they wanted to hang up the phone, but Norton said that there was no runway suitable for the landing of Boyin 707 in the British Chagas Islands.

After thinking about it, the two could only choose to gather in the Maldives and then take the yacht they rented to find the treasure island.

After Philips and Margaret found out, Chu Xiangqian had already called Margaret on the satellite phone, and the chick was excited and screamed as well.

But when Philips learned the news from Norton, his first thought was to mobilize a warship to serve as a treasure hunting ship.

Chu Xiangqian half refused and half agreed to this matter.

It doesn't matter if you're safe, it's dangerous anyway, or kill all the people who are threatening.

Either take refuge in the novice village to avoid danger, even if the boat is blown up or sails away.

There are also wood-made sailboats in the novice village, and no matter how bad they are, go to Middle-earth and buy a ship directly.

But if Margaret, Philips and Norton are in danger, it is difficult for them to escape alone.

So it's okay to mobilize a warship, but you can't take a warship to hunt for treasure.

The most valuable treasure was the gold in the huge logs, which he didn't plan to share with Philips or Norton.

All that remained, the antiques and scattered jewels in the sailboat, which added up to hundreds of thousands of pounds.

One point for three people may be more than 100,000 or 200,000 pounds.

This is still Chu Xiang's big deal, valuing those antiques.

No, since Margaret was called, it must be 4 people who split the money.

However, if you go to the island on a warship, 100 percent of the share will be given to the top of the navy and the officers and men on the warship.

Perhaps, 50% will be gone.

Chu Xiangqian just used this to persuade Philips, and this guy immediately decided to listen to him.

Take a rented yacht to the island, and then mobilize a cruiser, or a smaller frigate, to patrol the area where the yacht is active.

If you are in real danger, send a report to the frigate, and you can converge in a few hours.

——

Two days later, Chu Xiangqian waited for Philips, Margaret and Norton at a seaside villa in the Maldives.

Margaret brought her bodyguard head Arthur, and Ward, Langdon, and Bailey around Norton also brought only Ward alone.

The remaining two bodyguards are naturally protecting Philips.

However, Chu Qian thought about it, Arthur is also an ace agent, and when necessary, there is a high probability that he will protect Philips first, not Margaret.

Margaret herself probably faintly felt that Chu Xiangqian was the most reliable when searching for treasures in the wilderness.

So she didn't even want to take Arthur on the yacht.

Seeing Chu Xiangqian driving the yacht alone, he originally thought that there would be three or five of his subordinates Philips, Norton and Margaret by his side, but at the same time, he felt a little regretful in his heart.

First, he seemed to distrust Chu Qianqian.

Second, if he really finds the treasure, Chu Xiangqian will not take out a small part of his share and give it to the 4 bodyguards.

In the end, it must be, who brings the bodyguard, who is responsible for paying their protection money.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't care at all, whether these bodyguards would share the money.

Anyway, the most valuable gold, he is about to swallow it alone, which is equivalent to taking the largest share of the treasure.

When the time comes, I offered to give a part to the bodyguards, which is just the time to win people's hearts.

In the future, it may pay off one day.

So at the bonfire party in the evening, when Chu Xiangqian offered to discuss the distribution plan first, Arthur and the other four bodyguards immediately became energetic.

Margaret naturally listened to Chu Xiangqian, Philips and Norton glanced at each other, Chu Xiangqian as the initiator of discovering the specific location of the treasure and inviting them to go on a treasure hunt together.

According to the rules, it is common to take half of it.

The remaining 5 percent, Margaret, Philips, Norton and 4 bodyguards, are considered quadripartial.

At this point, Margaret didn't care, and the four bodyguards were eager to carry out the plan.

Philips and Norton looked at each other, hoping to find the treasure, but also felt that if it was only divided into 10%, it would be as if the treasure had been found, and it would not be much fun.

The two exchanged glances, and Norton quickly suggested that the treasure was the first clue he had discovered.

If it weren't for him, Chu Xiangqian wouldn't have been able to put his mind on this treasure, and it would have been impossible to have this treasure hunt.

So he asked for 3 percent.

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Chu Xiangqian and Margaret, even Philips felt that Norton was too much.

The reason is very simple, Philips knows that Chu Xiangqian is not a fool, Norton takes 3 percent, which is equivalent to Chu Xiangqian will have 2 percent less.

It's better to just find an island and say that your judgment is wrong.

Then wait a few years, and then quietly continue to hunt for treasures.

So there was no need for Chu to open his mouth, Philips and Margaret were output, and Norton soon couldn't bear it.

Margaret was only willing to give 15% to Norton.

Philips calculated his own interests, thinking that if Norton's share was too small, he would definitely not support him in the future and ask for a little more proposal.

So Philips thinks that 20% of Norton is a reasonable percentage.

After that, it was Philips' turn to ask for a share of the increase, and when he said that he had mobilized the frigate and the destruction of the Cao family in Kuala Lumpur, he also helped.

It means that Chu Xiangqian and Norton both owe him a favor.

So the requirement is the same as Norton, 20%.

At this point, Chu Xiangqian and Norton should indeed be grateful to Philips, plus Philips also hinted that although Chu Xiangqian rescued more than two dozen British crew members.

But to award Chu Xiangqian a medal, it is not necessary to award him, the highest rank of knights in the 5th rank of the Grand Cross.

Moreover, the knightly medal of this level is only awarded to 100 people, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Once full, unless someone dies, you don't have to think about it, you can only wait.

But in reality, it is impossible for the royal family to award all 100 places.

After 7 or 80 people can be awarded, the remaining ten or twenty places, the royal family will be more cautious in awarding honors.

That's where Philips needs to persuade Elizabeth.

As for the number of decorations in the other four ranks, there are 845 knight commanders of the second class and 8,960 commanders of the third class.

The last Officers and Officers are not limited to the number of people, but they are also the least valuable.

Qiu Chu Xiangqian accepted the award, but he was unwilling to accept these two levels of medals.

There are three or five officials and members on Hong Kong Island, and they are at the same level as these people, and they feel embarrassed to think about it.

After all, in these years, the Hong Kong people who can be awarded medals, think about it, they all know that their position must be biased towards Yingguo.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian knew that the treasure was not worth much except gold, so he didn't refuse much in his heart, but he couldn't agree so quickly on his face.

Give Margaret a look, this chick immediately understood, and said directly.

Without Philips' help, I found my sister by myself, and I didn't believe that she would refuse.

Philips immediately thought that Elizabeth had agreed to Margaret at the beginning on Margaret's marriage and let her choose a husband.

But in the end, under the pressure of Downing Street and the Episcopal Church, he repented again.

At one point, the relationship between the sisters deteriorated, and Margaret often said in front of relatives and friends that she was actually more suitable to be king.

In the end, it was the mothers of the two who came forward to remind Margaret that this chick did not talk nonsense in front of the media.

If Margaret really went to beg Elizabeth, under the guilt, Elizabeth would indeed agree.

And the rescue of more than two dozen British sailors, in this era of peace, is a feat and a great achievement in itself, disclosed to the newspaper, and Chu Xiangqian will become a hero of the all-infant country.

Elizabeth was afraid of public opinion and her sister's request, and the probability of awarding Chu Xiangqian the Grand Cross was absolutely certain.

Seeing that Philips didn't speak, Margaret looked at Norton with a smug expression, and said, Mountbatten owes Chu Xiangqian a great favor in this matter, and must go with her to lobby Elizabeth.

Norton had nothing to say, and Philips was faintly embarrassed.

But Norton and Philips also knew that what Margaret had just said was right.

Even if there is no treasure, Mountbatten, as Philips's uncle, asked him for help, but Philips couldn't refuse.

So there was a lot of arguing, and Philips only got 15%.

——

In this way, Chu Qianqian divided 45%, Margaret 10%, Philips 15%, Norton 20%, and the four bodyguards took 10%.

However, Chu Xiangqian also said that once he really encounters danger during the treasure hunt, he is willing to give 5% more to the 4 bodyguards.

Now, no one has an opinion.

——

After the bonfire, Chu took Margaret's hand and walked around the villa.

This chick was happy to be walking on the beach with her sweetheart, and muttered that she shouldn't have asked Philips and Norton to come over for treasure hunting.

I always feel that my family has suffered a big loss.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, anyway, the gold is not distributed to others, of course he can pretend to be generous and say, you have to be trustworthy.

Otherwise, there will be good things in the future, and Norton and Philips will not think about themselves.

Margaret also knew in her heart that this treasure was indeed because Norton was the first to discover the clue, which led to the later events.

And at the beginning, his own man did not believe in the authenticity of the treasure at all.

That's when Norton went to Philips.

But she still muttered, "Don't forget, honey, that Norton didn't want to tell you about the treasure in the first place.

He will pull you in, but there is just a lack of manpower and funds. ”

This is clearly said, Norton is looking for Chu Qianqian, just a last resort.

Chu Xiangqian laughed, he was actually not a good person, and he had always wanted to swallow it alone.

Even if he helped Norton save people, he received Norton's money.

Now I will bring Norton and Philips, just to get the Grand Cross of the Knighthood.

However, there is one thing that cannot be denied.

There would have been no treasure hunt if Norton had accidentally been in the home of a count in France and saw photos related to the treasure.

At this point, Norton takes 20%, which is indeed not an exaggeration.

But Chu Xiangqian still planned to monopolize the gold on the island.

——

hugged Margaret for some comfort, and then her hands began to be dishonest, and the chick's attention was focused on the night battle with Chu Xiangqian on the beach.

A hearty game.

In addition, Chu Qianqian faintly mentioned that he had a large amount of business dealings with Philips and Norton.

In the past two years, the money earned from the two of them has been millions of pounds, at least a few million pounds, and Margaret's mood has improved.

In the long run, wooing Philips is indeed beneficial to Chu Xiangqian.

Just selling iron ore, the highest amount, selling 720,000 tons to Philips, got 8 million US dollars.

Moreover, iron ore did not need to be shipped to England without Chu forward.

Iron ore is stored in a warehouse at a dock in South America, and the people of Ying will be responsible for transporting the iron ore back to Ying country.

This time, he accepted the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit and returned to Hong Kong Island to meet Ge Bai of the Police Force and Hader of the Chief Secretary for Administration.

I believe that these guys should be willing to add the honorific title 'SIR' in front of their names.

As for whether it is an official medal or a member medal, it depends on how much Ge Bai has paid.

As for Ge Bai, they embezzled so much money on Hong Kong Island, and they were actually very worried.

Therefore, they are inevitably willing to move closer to the royal family and the aristocratic group.

In addition to needing to give a sum of money to Chu Xiangqian to buy Philips.

The benefits given to Chu Xiangqian can be completely offset by the land on Hong Kong Island.

Or wait for the Chai Wan Wharf to be built, and introduce a policy.

In order to alleviate the pressure on the Sheung Wan wharf, in the future, ships of 60,000 to 80,000 tons on the island will only be able to disembark at the Chai Wan wharf.

As for the ships in Kowloon and the New Territories, they still disembark at Kwai Chung Pier.

In other words, Chu Xiangqian's Chai Wan Pier really harms only the interests of Sheung Wan Pier.

However, it is also true that there are few berthing spaces at Sheung Wan Pier.

Even if you want to expand, it will take two or three years, and during this period, let alone 6 to 80,000 tons of ships, you can only go ashore in Chai Bay.

Maybe ships under 60,000 tons will dock at Chai Wan Pier.

As a result, there is a high probability that the Sheung Wan Pier will not be expanded in the future.

The introduction of this policy alone can increase the profitability of the terminal several times, or even more than ten times.

Moreover, the cargo ship will dock at Chai Bay, and Chai Bay will be lively in the future, and the price of Chu Xiangqian's land in the wharf and the wharf warehouse will also rise.

than simply giving Chu Xiangqian money, he earns more.

——

After a night's rest, the next day everyone boarded the yacht and sailed for more than 20 hours, finally arriving around the treasure island.

Chu Qianqian pretended to hold a telescope and stood in the corridor outside the yacht wheelhouse, constantly looking around.

Philips and Norton, who were beside them, waited for a few minutes and couldn't help asking, "Stark, are you sure it's really around here?" ”

Chu Xiangqian muttered a few words in his heart, the fool just started, and took everyone to the treasure island.

Without some setbacks, Philips and Norton don't suspect it afterwards, that's weird.

A smile appeared on his face and he nodded.

Pointing to the twin towers in the distance, he said to Norton, "If you look closely, does it look like an arch?" ”

Norton had seen France, the picture left by the count's house.

After recalling for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said in surprise, "That's right, master, in the photo I showed you last year, there is indeed an old photo that looks very similar to these two small islands. ”

These twin islands, which are originally coordinates, are similar to the photos, that is for sure, but only when you look down from the sky, these two islands are more like arches.

It's just that people from a hundred years ago couldn't fly into the air, so that old photo was actually taken on a ship at sea.

Sailing around the twin islands, without Chu Qianqian opening his mouth, everyone quickly mistakenly thought that the treasure might be on these two islands.
