Chapter 45 New Commission
Chapter 45 New Commission
For Liang En, purchasing various materials was not an easy task.Because as a newcomer, he is not very clear about this aspect.
Fortunately, as the old Pierce who has been in this area all his life, he can be said to be very knowledgeable in this area, so he helped Liang En a lot in this big purchase.
"——The caravan is really good. The off-road caravan just now looks cool. But it's not suitable for you." In a car shop, Old Pierce carefully taught Liang En.
"After all, our current main activities are in the UK and Western and Southern Europe. The main feature of this area is its high population density and relatively complete infrastructure."
"So compared to those off-road RVs that are very expensive in terms of fuel consumption and maintenance, a medium-sized truck is more suitable for those of us."
"You know, there are basically not many uninhabited areas in this area, so the caravan function is not used at all. On the contrary, because of the planning problems of some ancient urban areas, it is difficult for those relatively large vehicles to move freely. "
"In fact, different activity areas have different needs. If you are not in the UK, but in a sparsely populated area such as North America or Russia, then I will definitely recommend you to buy this off-road RV."
"So that's the case!" Listening to the elder's teaching, Liang En nodded seriously.
As soon as he came in, he was attracted by an extremely powerful Mercedes-Benz off-road touring car. If Old Pierce hadn't reminded him, he would have spent money to buy back this car that was basically useless to him in a short period of time. home.
And after receiving the corresponding guidance, Liang En knew these things well.So he ended up spending around £[-] on a high-end Isuzu truck with a fully enclosed bed that can carry four tons.
Interestingly, although this car is an RB car, the manufacturer shown on the document is from Huaxia.
According to the clerk at the car shop, the number of cars produced by Huaxia in Europe has gradually increased in recent years, and maybe there will be as many Japanese cars in the future.
In addition to this car from his hometown, Liang En also bought a series of various equipment related to long-distance travel.Everything from jackets and helmets to a new toolbox.
Considering that the entire European Union has a unified gun license for certain guns in this world, he also bought a double-barreled shotgun and corresponding ammunition that can be used in most countries in the European Union.
According to the information he found on the Internet, his colleagues in Russia and the United States are considered to be the group with the highest rate of gun ownership.Because there are a lot of wild areas there, you must have weapons to protect yourself.
But just like Old Pierce said, the law and order in Western Europe is not particularly good, especially in some cities.Considering that Liang En is still an Asian, he should indeed prepare some defensive weapons.
During this time, Liang En devoted almost all his energy to the preparation of various materials and various trainings.As a result, when he recovered from his busy schedule, he found that it was already November.
During these busy days, the private auction also came to a successful conclusion.
A first edition of Harry Potter signed by the author sold for £68000 and the coffin fetched £700.According to the predetermined 3-[-] split ratio, Liang En was able to get more than [-] pounds in remuneration from this income.
Just when Liang En felt that he had made all the preparations and planned to start the next journey.He accidentally received a long-distance call from France.
At first he thought it was a scam call, after all, there are not many phone scams in this part of Europe.But after picking it up, I found out that the call was from Earl Bossett's butler.
During the phone call, the other party first apologized, because many of the wealth that Liang En found before belonged to other families.So they had to spend most of their energy on returning those wealth during this time.
It was also for this reason that they were unable to calculate the price of those wealth in a short period of time and pay Liang En the reward he deserved.
"Please rest assured, we will definitely pay you what you deserve before Christmas." The butler's tone was full of apology.For the nobles, the failure to fulfill their promises will directly lead to their social death in the noble circle.
"It's okay, just give me the money when it's convenient for you." Hearing the other party's serious apology, Liang En naturally skipped this question.
After all, he is not very short of money now, and with that IOU in hand, he doesn't have to worry about the other party's refusal.
In other words, if the other party is really willing to use the family's centuries-old reputation as a bargaining chip, then Liang En feels that he can naturally be willing to give up the money.
After apologizing, the housekeeper talked about the reason why he came to Liang En today.That is to ask him to help complete a search, and the target of the search is an uncle of his master.
It turned out that the father of the current earl was only the second son of the family at that time, and had no right of inheritance.But after the Soviet-Finnish War broke out that year, the eldest son who had the right to inherit ran to Finland as a war reporter, and then disappeared directly on the battlefield.
"Didn't you go find your heir when he disappeared?" Liang En asked a little puzzled.
In his impression, any traditional aristocratic family is very important, so after more than half a century, people are looking for such a thing, and it sounds wrong.
"We have never given up searching." The butler said with a sigh, "But at the beginning, that place belonged to a war zone, and we really couldn't send enough people to search for it."
"And after the war ended, the place where Master Du Lisi disappeared became the territory of the Soviet Union. Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible to find it across the border."
"So after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, we have sent several groups of people to find the whereabouts of Master Du Lisi. Unfortunately, after so many years, the local area has changed too much, so we couldn't find any clues at all."
"Then why did you entrust me?" Liang En showed a puzzled look on his face. "I think you should know that I'm just a novice who has been in the industry for less than half a year, and I don't have much advantage in this regard."
"Of course we are aware of this, but after going through such a long time, we think that what is needed to find what Master Du Lisi left behind may not be skill or ability, but a little bit of luck."
"And you—" At this point, the earl's butler emphasized his tone. "We think your luck is the luckiest among the treasure hunters we have ever seen, otherwise it would be impossible to find the treasure that has been missing for hundreds of years."
"Anyway, we don't lack the money to hire people now, so spending an extra sum of money and adding a treasure hunter is not a bad thing for us."
"What a rich man." Liang En muttered in his heart, but he still chose to take the job.Because for him, there is nothing wrong with such a job.
So at the end of the phone call, Liang En made an appointment with the housekeeper to meet in Paris the day after tomorrow, and the housekeeper gave him a series of materials.
