"Why did these two people come to Munich?" Zhang Junping touched his chin and wondered.
The people who had just entered were Weng Xingqing, his grandson, and their bodyguards, who had been forced to pay four million dollars by Zhang Junping for the conflict before.
"Coming for a trip?"
Zhang Junping thought about it for a while, didn't think much about it, didn't get out of the car, but started the car directly and left the hotel parking lot.
Seeing his grandfather and grandson, Zhang Junping suddenly remembered that he still had a check in his hand that he had not gone to the bank to exchange.
I had only cashed the two small checks before, but I still had the check for four million dollars in my hand.
You have to redeem it quickly to save yourself a long night of nightmares.
We drove to Munich Airport, which is the best thing about Europe. Transportation is convenient, and even flying is very convenient.
Zhang Junping took a flight directly to Switzerland from the airport.
In Europe, if your passport is visa-free for European countries, it will be more convenient to travel directly between European countries than traveling between domestic provinces in the 1980s.
Direct flight from Munich to Zurich only takes one hour.
Zhang Junping arrived at the airport at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only four o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived in Zurich. This still includes the time for waiting for the flight and going through security check.
Zhang Junping’s passport is a passport commonly used in Europe.
So when Zhang Junping arrived at the Swiss Bank, the bank had not yet closed.
The reason why Zhang Junping traveled so far to deposit checks was because the taxes in Prussia were too high.
Even if he is a foreigner, because the money was obtained in Prussia, he still needs to pay an individual tax of up to 42%.
Prussia's taxes are notoriously high in the world, and local Prussians may have to pay a tax of up to 50%.
More than half of a month's salary is used to pay taxes.
Even those citizens who enjoyed Prussia's ultra-high welfare benefits couldn't bear it and secretly deposited their money in Swiss banks.
Zhang Junping, who does not enjoy Prussian national welfare, is even more unwilling to spend nearly half of his money to pay taxes.
After entering the bank, when he saw Zhang Junping wanted to cash a check of four million US dollars, he immediately invited him into the key client room.
A beautiful blonde woman who claimed to be a key account manager received him.
After filling out some forms, I opened an account at UBS and deposited the check into the bank.
"Mr. Zhang, you have become our most valued customer, our bank can provide you..."
The key account manager respectfully introduced the services provided by the bank to Zhang Junping.
In fact, the purpose of all the talks was to hope that Zhang Junping would buy their financial products or accept the financial services they provided.
This is the same for all banks around the world.
No bank survives solely on deposits and loans.
Their main income comes from providing financial services to customers and selling various funds and other financial derivatives as agents.
The money was of no use for the time being, so Zhang Junping still chose to entrust a bank as his agent to purchase gold futures contracts.
Of course, it is still leveraged.
The leverage ratio given by UBS is higher than that of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank, directly giving it ten times.
Zhang Junping was not polite and directly bought 80%.
As for the risk warning of the blonde beauty, Zhang Junping didn't take it seriously at all.
In just over a month, the price of gold has risen from US$240/ounce to US$246.5/ounce.
The price is still rising rapidly.
What's more, he has reserved 20% of the funds for emergencies.
The whole process was done neatly and without any sloppiness.
After finishing the work, we took the evening flight back to Munich and enjoyed a fairly delicious dinner on the plane.
It's just that convenient.
Back at the hotel, Zhang Junping had breakfast at the hotel the next day and planned to leave.
Today I plan to go to the glass-tiled city of Ubrzyh to go treasure hunting.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Weng Xingqing again with his granddaughter and bodyguards.
At this time, they were walking outside the hotel.
What was different from yesterday was that several bodyguards were carrying a large suitcase.
Zhang Junping didn't pay attention either. Maybe they were finishing their tour and were about to leave.
Although there was some conflict before and the other party was unruly, he also paid the price for it.
Therefore, Zhang Junping didn't pay too much attention. He went through the check-out procedures and prepared to take a taxi to the airport.
After leaving the hotel, Zhang Junping saw Weng Xingqing and his party again.
At this time, the bodyguard was loading the suitcase into the trunk of the car.
This didn't attract Zhang Junping's attention. What caught Zhang Junping's attention was their car.
They were riding all-terrain off-road vehicles.
All-terrain off-road vehicles were first used as military vehicles and were later gradually converted to civilian use.
If future generations saw such a group of people in China, Zhang Junping would not be curious at all.
After all, Chinese people are very vague about the purpose of cars, and it is common for one car to be used for multiple purposes.
It's different in foreign countries. All kinds of cars have their own purposes, and few people mix them.
Especially rich people will not mix it.
Cars are used for commuting to and from get off work and for business purposes.
Urban off-road vehicles are generally used by families when they go out for fun.
A pickup truck is a truck.
All-terrain off-road vehicles like this are usually used by wealthy people when they go hunting or exploring.
Therefore, Weng Xingqing and his party rented three all-terrain off-road vehicles, which successfully aroused Zhang Junping's curiosity.
Zhang Junping took a few steps back, entered the hotel again, and looked at Weng Xingqing and his party through the window.
At this time, he was not in a hurry to go to Poland to hunt for treasure.
He planned to see Weng Xingqing live a comfortable life with a bald eagle, but why did he come to Prussia?
As for tourism, Zhang Junping really didn't think Prussia was so attractive that they could stay there for four or five days.
When traveling, France, Switzerland, and Poland are more fun.
Zhang Junping found the hotel, checked in again, and rented an Audi off-road vehicle from the hotel.
The Audi off-road vehicle was also a military off-road vehicle. It was later replaced by the cheaper Volkswagen iltis off-road vehicle before it was withdrawn from the military market.
Zhang Junping drove an Audi off-road vehicle, far behind Weng Xingqing's motorcade.
Because there were few cars on the road, Zhang Junping did not dare to follow too closely, so he could only keep a distance of two or three kilometers.
Fortunately, I have a telescope so I can observe the situation of the convoy ahead at any time.
After walking for a while, the convoy in front turned into a mountain road.
Zhang Junping stopped the car, took out the map and looked at it. This was a road that entered a branch of the Alps.
Seeing this, Zhang Junping was not in a hurry.
This mountain road has almost no branches. It goes straight forward and passes through the branches of the Alps. After walking for a while, it enters the territory of the Czech Republic.
After Zhang Junping drove forward for a while, he stopped the car and took out a Cuban cigar. He leisurely cut off the smoker, burned the ends with a match, and then slowly tasted the mellow aroma of the Cuban cigar.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, I drove slowly and turned into the mountain road.
As if you were traveling into the mountains, the speed should be controlled at about 40 without any rush or impatience, so as not to delay enjoying the scenery on both sides of the mountain road.
Just when Zhang Junping was tasting Cuban cigars, another convoy turned into the mountain road.
Looking at the convoy following into the mountains, Zhang Junping laughed. This matter was becoming more and more interesting.
Zhang Junping had long discovered that there was a convoy starting from the hotel and had been following him.
He wouldn't think it was following him.
His actions today were completely impromptu.
Then it is obvious that they are following Weng Xingqing and his group.
In fact, Weng Xingqing and his party were already very cautious.
After coming out of Munich, Weng Xingqing's bodyguards kept an eye on the cars behind him.
Even after turning onto the road, Weng Xingqing and his party stopped several times to wait for possible suspicious vehicles behind them.
However, they never imagined that two groups of people would follow them.
Moreover, they are still far away, beyond their warning range.
Their destination is from a branch of the Alps to a jungle.
Weng Xingqing did not expect that this time it would go so smoothly. He took the treasure map and looked up the relevant information in the Berlin Library.
The Alps and the remnants of the Alps have always been hot spots for hidden treasures.
Many experts and scholars have made similar analyses. At least one-fifth of the treasure of more than one trillion U.S. dollars is hidden in one or more places in the Alps and the remaining mountains of the Alps.
A lot of analysis has been done on where exactly the treasure is hidden.
There are also treasure hunters who go into the mountains to hunt for treasures based on the analysis of these experts.
There are indeed rumors that some people have found treasures, but most of the treasures were eventually confirmed to be not real treasures.
A small number of them have been proven to be real treasures, but the acquisitions are not large, and even those that exceed 100 million US dollars are rare.
This is far from the $20 million in gold treasure that experts speculated.
However, this also undoubtedly confirms the expert's inference that the Alps do contain hidden treasures.
This further stimulated the enthusiasm for treasure hunting in the mountains.
Thirty years have passed since the late 1940s, and the treasure hunting craze has still not dissipated.
Weng Xingqing compared the treasure map with the information in the library and finally determined that the treasure was located in the remaining veins of the Alps.
He originally just came to check on the situation, but he couldn't hold it any longer and went directly into the mountain with his bodyguards to check on the situation.
Zhang Junping drove slowly, admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountain stream.
This went on for about an hour.
After traveling for almost thirty or forty kilometers, we will walk a little further and we will soon be out of the mountains.
Zhang Junping pulled over and stopped the car.
There is a fork in the road ahead.
Zhang Junping stopped the car and took a look at the traces on the fork in the road.
The tire marks were very new and should have been left by Weng Xingqing and his party and the group behind them.
Zhang Junping drove the car into the jungle on the roadside, got out of the car and looked around to make sure no one was there, then waved the off-road vehicle into the museum space.
Then slowly walk forward along the fork in the road.
After walking for about two kilometers, there were seven or eight off-road vehicles looming in the jungle on the roadside.
Zhang Junping bent over and slowly touched it.
On the jungle floor lay a body, its throat slit.
Looking at the scene again, Zhang Junping speculated that there was a traitor in Weng Xingqing's bodyguard team.
This is the person who followed behind, who dared to follow me from a distance of seven or eight kilometers.
It is estimated that someone installed a tracker on Weng Xingqing's off-road vehicle.
In the late 1970s, although the development of electronic technology was still very backward, things like short-distance trackers were not complicated at all.
It's not high-tech.
I don’t know if they didn’t expect that someone would follow them later, so the group of people following them were very bold.
The body was not disposed of, and no one was left behind, so they just followed it in.
Zhang Junping changed into a camouflage uniform directly on the spot.
This is what was included in the batch of military supplies that Double-Headed Eagle sent to support Vietnam.
After changing clothes, I slowly followed the traces left by the two groups in front and touched them.
They had just walked not far when they heard a burst of gunfire in front of them.
There were also arrogant laughter and angry questions.
Obviously, the front group has been controlled by the group following behind.
That's why he laughs so unscrupulously.
Zhang Junping lowered his body and carefully observed any hidden whistles that might exist around him.
Unfortunately, Zhang Junping overestimated the other party.
Or maybe the other party was too careless and didn't expect that there was a yellow bird following behind them.
It would be easier if there was no hidden whistle. Zhang Junping slowly approached.
Through the bushes, Zhang Junping could clearly see the situation ahead.
Weng Xingqing's bodyguard has been subdued.
No, they were all killed, and a group of people in camouflage uniforms pointed guns at Weng Xingqing and his granddaughter.
The group of people wearing camouflage uniforms were very mixed, including Europeans and Asians.
The person who laughed wildly was actually one of Weng Xingqing's bodyguards.
"Old Man Weng, thank you for showing us the way. Without you, it would not have been so easy for us to find this treasure."
"It's you...Wang Enyi, my Weng family has always been kind to you, why did you betray me?" Weng Xingqing was deeply shocked. He never expected that the person who betrayed him was actually a bodyguard who had been with the Weng family for three generations.
"Haha...ha! Treat me badly? Are you just asking our family to be slaves for your Weng family?
We, the Wang family, have been slaves to your Weng family for three generations, but what have we gained?
Back then, my eldest brother and my lady were in love. What about you? You thought it was a disgrace to your family, so you beat my eldest brother to death and forced your lady to jump into the well..." Wang Enyi let out a burst of crazy laughter to vent his anger.
With the pain in his heart.
Zhang Junping secretly sighed, what a drama about the grievances and hatreds of wealthy families.
"So you're going to betray me?"
"Yes! I have always been looking for opportunities, but it's a pity that you are too precious and too cautious.
I never had a chance until you obtained this treasure map.
I knew the opportunity had come.
So, I contacted them secretly." Wang Enyi smiled crazily.
Zhang Junping secretly sighed again, the villain died because he talked too much.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Junping finished speaking, Wang Enyi was stabbed from the body, straight to the heart.
"Why... why?" Wang Enyi couldn't believe that the person he had found would actually stab him in the back.
"You talk too much." A white man in the lead said coldly, then turned around and ordered his subordinates: "Leo, Chris, you are responsible for the vigilance.
Gavin, Buck, you are responsible for opening the cave entrance!
The others are on standby."
"Boss, what should we do with these two people?"
"After you get the treasure, take it back."
"Tou, why do you want to take it back?"
"Idiot, this old guy is a rich man from Chinatown.
Recycle the waste and see if you can blow up some oil and water." The white man in charge said coldly.
"Good guy, you are really ruthless! You are planning to drain Weng Xingqing completely!" Zhang Junping muttered secretly after hearing this.
"Head, the cave entrance is sealed and cannot be opened. How about using explosives?" The man named Gavin studied the cave entrance for a while and reported to the leading white man.
"Think of another way, using explosives will make too much noise!" The white leader obviously didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter.
"Okay! But there's not much hope." Gavin agreed, then turned around and continued to think of a solution.
Zhang Junping lay quietly on the ground, staring motionlessly at the unlucky Weng Xingqing, his grandfather and grandson, and the white mercenary who worked as Mantis.
After struggling for a while, Zhang Junping felt his stomach began to protest, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers.
"Head, open! The hole is open!"
Zhang Junping looked up, and his angle was just right to see the entrance to the treasure cave.
I saw a stone being pried off at the entrance of the cave.
A dark hole was revealed.
Zhang Junping waited for a while before the group in front completely opened the cave entrance.
The white leader put on a gas mask and led the people into the cave excitedly.
Zhang Junping took out a double-headed eagle sniper rifle from the space and prepared to be an oriole.
Just as he aimed at the person in charge of guarding, the white leader came out of the cave again.
He took off his gas mask and threw it to the ground angrily.
"Damn! It's all full of ordnance left behind by **! Not even a single gold coin!" the white leader cursed angrily.
Well, this is a sad story.
Zhang Junping silently observed three seconds of silence for the white leaders.
"Boss, what should I do?" Gavin asked with a disappointed look on his face.
"Retreat! Take Old Man Weng with you!" the white leader said simply.
If there is no treasure, just choose to evacuate.
Zhang Junping thought for a while and chose to take action.
"Bang, bang!" The two shots caught the two people on guard.
"Hidden!" The white leader reacted quickly, rolled over and hid behind a big tree.
Others also fled.
Zhang Junping fired two more shots, knocking down two mercenaries who failed to dodge in time.
Then he put on his pistol again and began to call names.
The mercenaries were very powerful, but in front of Zhang Junping, whose physical fitness reached almost inhuman levels, they were still in vain.
Zhang Junping moved back and forth in the jungle. After a while, only the white leader of the group of mercenaries remained.
"Stop!" The white leader hid behind Weng Xingqing, strangled Weng Xingqing's neck tightly, and shouted at Zhang Junping: "If you don't stop, he and I will die together."
"Bang!" Zhang Junping raised his hand and fired.
"Damn, if you hide behind the tree, I can work harder.
If you hide behind this old thing, aren't you looking for death?" Zhang Junping blew the non-existent smoke from the muzzle of the gun and sneered.
Then he looked at the frightened Weng Xingqing and his granddaughter, and said with a smile: "Mr. Weng, we meet again!"
"Is that you?" Weng Xingqing recognized Zhang Junping and looked at him in surprise.
"It's me! I didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Mr. Weng, by the way, I can be regarded as the savior of your grandfather and grandson, right?" Zhang Junping asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes! Sir's life-saving grace will never be forgotten!" Weng Xingqing also reacted to the shock just now.
After all, people who have experienced the war years have stronger nerves and stronger receptivity.
