The Immortal, after the British and French allied forces looted and burned the Old Summer Palace, the looted treasures were shipped back to Europe. Among them, the Immortal was lost in a storm.
Catherine's great-great-grandfather was on the ship at the time, but fell overboard during the storm. In the end, he survived and was rescued by a Chinese merchant ship.
He knew the value of the cargo on that ship, so after returning to China, he planned to organize a fleet to search for it, but he did not have enough funds.
In the generation of Catherine's great-grandfather, they finally organized an expedition to go to sea to search, but they never came back. Those oil paintings were scenes of the sea at that time painted by Catherine's great-great-grandfather.
She also wanted to find Jack to find out the whereabouts of her great-grandfather through them. Of course, if she could find a batch of treasures and ease their family's financial situation, Catherine would not refuse. This is considered human nature.
Xu Chuan looked through the logbook, and there were some more professional words that he didn't understand very well. He could only tell that the storm was very strong at the time, and the ship was probably lost. Whether he could find it or not was a matter of character.
"Jack and the others should also have obtained this information." Xu Chuan knew that they had taken photos.
"You can contact them. To be honest, they are really professional in treasure hunting." If you can't find it yourself, of course you need to find a professional.
Catherine looked at him doubtfully, feeling that this man seemed to be planning something, but after Xu Chuan threw the logbook to her, her doubts were dispelled.
"Your great-great-grandfather's paintings can also be returned to you. After all, they should be very commemorative to you." Xu Chuan's tone was soothing and gentle, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was the same person as the violent man before.
"Really?" Catherine looked at him in disbelief. You must know that those things now belong to Xu Chuan. From the perspective of Westerners, he has no reason to return them to him.
"Of course, there is absolutely no need for me to lie to you." Anyway, the photos have been saved. Why not do it as a favor and let others search for it together? The chance of success is greater. You just need to make sure to be there when the time comes.
Already.
"You are such a good person!" Catherine jumped up excitedly like a child, "I'm serious, if you plan to pursue me, I can give you some conveniences."
Xu Chuan looked at the countess in front of him and tried his best to manage his expression, "That's really my honor, haha", thinking to himself, I'll fuck you.
MP Company, "Why hasn't Zong Sheng come back yet?" Lawrence Morgan was sitting in the conference room, waiting for Zong Sheng to get back the two animal heads.
"BOSS, more and more Chinese people are paying attention to the news that we are auctioning the heads of the twelve zodiac animals." A manager of MP Company happily reported the current situation.
"The more, the better. Since they are very patriotic, they should pay a lot to return the cultural relics of their country. I like their patriotism, which can make us huge profits." Lawrence said with a smile.
Usually a person's voice would ring out when he said this, "genius", but this time there was no response. Lawrence asked anxiously, "Where did Zong Sheng go?"
Where is he? This poor man is surrounded by several burly men with their faces covered. That scene should become a nightmare for him for the rest of his life.
Two hours later, Lawrence finally learned the whereabouts of Zong Sheng. He had been sent to the hospital. "BOSS, his condition doesn't seem to be very good." Looking at Zong Sheng who had been huddled on the bed in the ward with a dull expression,
Lawrence's assistant dialed his number.
"I don't care what happens to him, where's the animal head?" Lawrence growled on the other end of the phone.
"Sorry, boss, there was nothing around him when I found him. I asked the driver and their car was stopped, and he didn't know what happened next." Neither of the two people was injured, and the car was fine.
All his belongings are there, but the two animal heads are missing.
But there was no way to report this matter to the police, and it would be useless to call the police. After all, it could be said that nothing happened, and the two animal heads could not be seen in the light.
"What the hell." Lawrence hung up the phone and cursed fiercely.
He didn't care about Zong Sheng's life or death, but he had already paid 2 million euros for the two animal heads and there was absolutely no way he would give them up.
"Find someone to check JC. They'd better have nothing to do with the people who robbed my goods, otherwise I won't let them go..." Lawrence didn't say the next words, but his subordinates all understood what he meant. Zong
Sheng was robbed just after he met them. There is no way he had anything to do with them.
He stood by the window and looked down. There were many people gathered outside the company. Most of them were international students from various countries in Paris. They held up slogans in various languages that read, "Let precious cultural relics return to their homeland."
There were demonstrations against the company's preparations to auction off the animal heads.
Lawrence felt agitated for a while, and his son came over and said, "Dad, should we take down the auction news first?" Lawrence's son was of obvious Asian ancestry.
He nodded, "Just say the staff sent the wrong message."
In Catherine's castle, Curtis had already driven back and brought over the two stolen animal heads. "The grape plantation? The winery? That's where their counterfeiting base is.", Xu Chuan
I took this lump of red copper and tossed it twice in my hand. Well, it was quite heavy.
Now he was faced with a choice, should he catch up and kill him cleanly? No, or forget it. He was more concerned about whether there was gold on the Immortal.
How many are there in the movie? Xu Chuan raised his head and thought for a while, it should be quite a lot anyway, not 240 tons, but 2 tons. I hope it can make up for the damage to his soul.
The phone rang, and Curtis handed it over, "It's Miss COCO from before."
Xu Chuan took it, and COCO's sparrow-like voice came from the other side, "MP Company has withdrawn the news of the auction, we have won."
Xu Chuan shook his head when he heard this. Miss, you are really overthinking, "Whatever wins, they just have nothing in their hands." How could these capitalists give up the opportunity to make money just because of these people's mere demonstrations?
"What did you say?" The person on the other side seemed to be in confusion, and COCO didn't hear clearly what Xu Chuan said.
"Nothing." Putting the rabbit head aside, Xu Chuan smiled, "By the way, I still don't know your last name?"
"My surname is Wu, Wu Ke." Listening to her voice, you can tell that this woman is in the stage of rapid secretion of dopamine. "By the way, can I still go to the castle to see the cultural relics tomorrow? I can help."
"There is another good thing." Xu Chuan's eyes lit up. Free appraisal experts and labor force, who can refuse this.
