Chapter 50 He speaks English

When Shen Haofeng looked at the construction drawings in his hand, Peter on the side said quietly: "Marshal Shen, it is rumored that there are many tombs under Mang Mountain, tombs..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Haofeng said: "Don't worry, Mr. Peter, you can't dig that deep to build a railway. If you are worried about unlucky things, I will send someone to ask an expert to do a ritual ceremony tomorrow to ensure safety." The construction was safe and sound.”

"..."

Seeing that he did not understand what he meant, Peter said: "Marshuai Shen misunderstood. We all like the traditional Chinese culture and are very interested in the cultural relics in the tombs."

Shen Haofeng looked at him "puzzled".

Peter smiled and said: "So I would like to ask Marshal Shen to help us collect the cultural relics in the tombs while building the railway. We will definitely thank you very much."

They were originally stealing treasures under the guise of building railways.

From this point of view, Cao Man is not only a real villain, but also a traitor.

"Impossible!" Shen Haofeng waved his hand and refused without thinking: "Those are the proofs of China's five thousand years of civilization. Each one is a treasure of the long history and the spiritual pillar of the Chinese people."

Just as Peter's face became darker and darker, Shen Haofeng said loudly: "If you want it, you have to pay more!"

Hearing him talk about adding more money, Peter's expression softened a little, and he said calmly: "Marshuai Shen, Marshal Cao are very fond of our friendship and do not take advantage of others' danger."

"How can this be called taking advantage of others' danger? This is called the beauty of adulthood, win-win cooperation, okay?" Shen Haofeng said: "If Mr. Peter is not willing, let Cao Man come to Mang Mountain to help you dig."

Let Cao Man go to Mang Mountain?

The east side of the city has made it clear that Shen Haofeng is behind it. If Cao Man comes over, the two sides will inevitably fight. Peter, a man like him, cannot play a decisive role. After all, in the movie, Peter and the others were killed by a Shaolin Temple monk with a sword. All were hacked to death.

And if Peter and the others call in a large army for help, they will probably only have a few scraps of the treasures under Mang Mountain that can be distributed to them.

So Peter didn't want to see them fighting. If they couldn't decide the winner for a few months, it would be too much for Peter.

This is not what Peter wants.

Fortunately, those treasures must be very valuable and are loved by some nobles in their country and even internationally. As long as he can take the things back, he will definitely make a lot of money.

In this case…

"How much does Marshal Shen want to add?" Peter decided to add money.

"The same quantity of guns as before, here's another one." Shen Haofeng said casually.

"No, this is impossible!" This time Peter was possessed by "Prime Minister Cao". He also gave Cao Man forty machine guns. If he agreed to Shen Haofeng's request again, he would be hollowed out by the two of them.

There was silence in the camp.

Peter originally thought that because of his tough attitude, Shen Haofeng took the initiative to lower the price, and that he had suffered the loss of being "overpriced" for the first time. But what he didn't expect was that Shen Haofeng had no intention of talking to him.

When it comes to bargaining, Peter is a younger brother to Shen Haofeng, who has followed his mother in the clothing wholesale market since he was a child.

For the sake of those treasures, Peter still compromised.

But this time he only paid 30% as a deposit first, and the rest will not be paid until Shen Haofeng digs out the treasure under Mang Mountain.

After hearing Peter's decision, although Shen Haofeng agreed, he said in a "disappointed" tone: "Mr. Peter, you make me feel that our friendship has been hurt."

Peter, who was almost bald, said speechlessly: "Commander Shen, don't think too much, this is just business talk."

…

Peter did not leave immediately, but participated in the first groundbreaking of the railway construction.

After Peter left, Shen Haofeng called a few confidants and told them some things. The ruined ship still had three pounds of nails. Shen Haofeng had two thousand men before, so he still had some confidants he could trust.

For the next half month, it was like a competition in the east and west of the city, everyone was digging desperately.

It's just that the refugees who work in the east of the city, although they can't go back, their families receive a lot of money every day. The situation is different for those who work in the west of the city, they don't see any money or people.

Therefore, even if the price in the west of the city is two yuan a day, there will not be as many refugees going to the west as there are to the east.

Because from the beginning, Cao Man was not really prepared to pay.

The price of one ocean a day was set by Cao Man in the movie because he didn't really want to pay it, he just wanted to deceive people with such a high reward.

After these people dug up the antiques, Cao Man sent the antiques to Peter in exchange for guns and ammunition, then killed the people who dug up the treasures, and then recruited another group of people.

This cycle continues.

But Shen Haofeng gave it, spent foreigners' money, and won the support of his own people. For Shen Haofeng, this business was not a loss. He was not like Cao Man, who was crazy about taking advantage of both sides.

After Cao Man is killed, his troops are eaten, and the foreigners are dealt with, Shen Haofeng recruits troops on the spot, and the number of troops may exceed 100,000. By then... if the plot is not over, why worry about big things?

But if he didn't put the person back, Shen Haofeng had nothing to do. If he put the person back after digging up the treasure, the news would definitely leak out. People die for money and birds die for food. This news was spread by other people not far from the summit. Several warlord forces know that a fierce battle is inevitable.

Cao Man did not put the person back, which shows that he also understood this.

Making a fortune in silence is really something engraved in your DNA.

Today is delivery day.

Peter obviously felt that Cao Man was easier to deal with, so he set the day for Cao Man's delivery in the morning, but for Shen Haofeng's side, it was set in the afternoon.

When Shen Haofeng went there, he saw treasures placed all over the floor in the living room of Peter's house.

Although they have been simply cleaned, some bronzes are still full of patina and look "rusty". Some pottery is not in good condition, and many of the mouths are broken. However, there are a few porcelains. not bad.

Now it’s time for Shen Haofeng’s performance.

He described the "rusty" bronze vessels as a pile of scrap copper and iron. He also said that usually the purpose of such vessels is that if they are used by living people, they are mostly used to pray for blessings. However, the opposite is true for those used for burials of dead people. It is to eliminate the resentment of the dead, so it is often accompanied by a curse.

As for those pottery vessels, let alone mention them if they were not in perfect condition. Shen Haofeng also "examined and quoted" and told Peter through the different types of pottery that there were clear regulations on these pottery types. They were all for the dead and were all artifacts of the underworld.

Not to mention they are valuable, there is no way anyone would be willing to collect these.

Peter was so deceived that he almost became lame.

"So after digging these things out of the soil, I ordered people to bury them back." Shen Haofeng said: "Those porcelains do look good."

Peter didn't want to believe it either, but he couldn't resist the fact that what he said was in English, and it was so well-founded and logical.

The most important thing is that Shen Haofeng did not say that everything was wrong. He affirmed the several pieces of porcelain sent by Cao Man. However, in Peter's understanding, those nobles most liked to bid or collect, which were Chinese calligraphy and painting and porcelain.

So he believed it.

"Come here, open the box and give Mr. Peter a look." Shen Haofeng said loudly.
