Chapter 46 Negotiation
Chapter 46 Negotiation
"Okay, it's time to get busy." After hanging up the call from France, Liang En jumped up from the sofa with a snap of his fingers, and then rushed out of his newly rented apartment after simply tidying up. Apartment to find Pierce.
This new apartment is a long-term rental apartment that Liang En changed after he made money last time. It is located in the center of London. It has three bedrooms and one living room, with a full set of furniture and kitchen utensils.Compared with the original apartment with only a bathroom and a house, the comfort level is more than one step higher.
Of course, the rent is more than one step higher.Soared from £145 a week to £450.If it wasn't for Liang En's plan to focus on London as the core of his work in the near future, he would not be willing to pay so much money to rent a house here.
When he came to the store, he found that Pierce was bored looking at the photos he took during his vacation not long ago on the computer.
Because of the previous income, Pierce went to the Isle of Wight for a short vacation during this period.So when Liang En went to him with this new mission, he found that he was ready to start a new adventure just like himself.
As for his behavior of spending money after making money, Chinese people may not understand it, but it is really normal for a European.And Liang En has lived here for so many years, and it is common for this kind of situation.
"Did you come here today for a new commission?" Pierce immediately became excited when he saw Liang En walk into the store. For him, Liang En had brought him too many surprises during this time, so he naturally hoped that he could come again. There is a treasure hunt opportunity.
"Yes, this is a commission from a French count to find a person who has been missing for seven to eighty years." Liang En leaned on the counter and said, "The other party is willing to pay for the travel expenses of up to five people, so I I'm here to find you."
"Okay, then follow the old rules." Pierce nodded and said, because this time the other party directly entrusted Liang En, so according to the rules, Pierce would only get [-]% to [-]/[-] of the final reward. between.
Even so, Pierce was very grateful to Liang En for calling him in this operation.Because all the travel expenses for this operation were paid by the earl, he happened to be able to take this opportunity to go to Eastern Europe to collect some goods.
Early the next morning, the two flew to Paris by plane.Then I met the earl's butler who had been waiting there in advance in a hotel in Paris.
"Nice to see you again." After seeing Liang En enter the door, the butler quickly stood up, shook hands with Liang En, and then took out a box.
"After knowing that you have received the entrustment, I have prepared all the materials we collected before. You can take a look at these materials and the information found by those previous personnel."
"According to the information we have now, Master Du Lisi was on the front line with a ski company. And these people were often operating behind the Soviet army and trying to cut off the supply route."
"It's just that this company was shelled by the opponent when it completed the operation and moved. Because it was night, the entire company was completely scattered during the shelling, and it was only when they finally gathered that they realized that Du Lisi The young master didn't come back."
"So I entrust you this time to hope that you can find out the whereabouts of Master Du Lisi, even if there is only one accurate sentence. Of course, it would be even better if you can find the relics on his body or even his own remains."
"This--" After 5 minutes of silence, Liang En's face revealed a look of embarrassment, because he found that the pile of confirmed information was very problematic, and it was not even of much value to him.
For example, in the battle records of the Soviet Union, which should be the most valuable in theory, the other side only wrote that shells were fired at many suspicious areas that night, without saying a word about the results of the shelling.
The reason for this situation is also very simple, because the Finnish sled troops at that time mastered the familiar terrain and were elusive.Therefore, it is basically impossible for the Soviet troops to enter the jungle after shelling to check the results of their shelling.
But this also created huge troubles for the searchers afterwards, because a few days was enough for the firepower of both sides to completely destroy the area.
"I know what you're thinking now, in fact, I've been working on this job since my grandfather's generation, and outsiders almost think we're crazy." The butler with gray sideburns leaned back on the chair weakly, and said arrive.
"But ever since our family lost an important family member, the family has vowed never to give up any member."
"So even if we have to spend a lot of money and energy for this kind of thing, we still won't stop looking. And that's why we want to hire you."
"Of course, you don't need to have too much psychological pressure. After all, we have been searching for more than 70 years, so it doesn't matter if you don't find Master Du Lisi after you go this time."
As the steward's voice fell, Liang En narrowed his eyes and began to think, because for him, such a contract with no clear regulations and extremely loose conditions was more troublesome than those strict contracts.
At least compared to losing money, Liang En didn't want to owe these people too much favor.
The whole room suddenly became extremely quiet, and the housekeeper watched Liang En's every move nervously.Because after nearly 80 years of failure, the whole family didn't want to let go of any possibility.
According to the information collected by the housekeeper, this Chinese-Irish man seems to have been favored by the god of luck since he entered the industry, and he can find a huge amount of wealth almost every time he makes a move.
Therefore, in his opinion, Liang En was the one who was most likely to find Master Doris among the treasure hunters he had met in his life.
"I've accepted this task." A few minutes later, Liang En made the final decision, then looked at the butler seriously and said.
"But I think you should be clear that in the absence of new intelligence, this search is actually a matter of chance, so I really can't make any guarantees to you in this regard."
"Of course, I can understand this." The earl's housekeeper let out a breath and relaxed at once. "So I will not impose any restrictions on you in this operation—"
After confirming that Liang En had accepted the task, the housekeeper began to talk about the entrustment requirements.In fact, as said yesterday, Liang En and Pierce covered all the expenses for this operation.
In addition, all the items that Liang En and the others found during the treasure hunt belonged to Liang En and the others except for the relics and remains that were registered on a form.
If they dug up treasures that could not be taken away by two people alone, the earl would help them transport those things back to England or Ireland from those places.
"Are you finished talking?" Pierce, who had been waiting in the hotel lobby before, put down his drink after seeing Liang En coming out of the upstairs, and then turned around and asked.
"Yes, we're done talking. The other party has given us 5000 Euros for basic activities." Liang En said as he put the document package in his hand on the table.
"It sounds like the reward the other party gave is indeed good, and it's worth our trip." Pierce nodded, and then asked, "So do you have any plans now?"
"Let's go to Vyborg first, and from there we will go to the ruins of the Mannerheim Line of Defense in the Karelian Isthmus." Liang En said helplessly. "But before that, we may need two or three days to sort out the information collected by the other party."
The reason for studying the data is also very simple, because dozens of teams have accepted this task in the past 70 years.So Liang En hopes to find some useful clues by studying the materials left by the predecessors.
