Several Indian chiefs did not respond immediately, but looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Afterwards, Chief Shanfeng said:
"Sean, it's not convenient to say more about these ancient treasure legends now."
"But I can tell you for sure that they are not mythical legends. They all have some basis."
"If we cooperate, it is still possible to find these legendary treasures."
"Wow! What an unexpected surprise."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
Professor Baker and others who were also present at the scene all had their eyes shining with excitement.
The performance of John and others was the same, and everyone could not help but see a bit of greed in their eyes.
For them, if the treasures in Indian reservations are really tempting, they can grab them!
Facing these wealthy and distinguished families, the robbed Indian tribe can only consider itself unlucky!
But they didn't say much, just listened.
After a pause, Chief Shanfeng continued:
"Let's talk about the method of cooperation. We are willing to pay to hire your company to explore those legendary treasures."
"As for the cost of employment, we can sit down and negotiate. We can be responsible for all expenses, security, guides, etc...."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, interrupting the Indian tribe chief.
"Chief Shanfeng, one thing I must declare in advance is that our company does not accept anyone's employment to find treasure somewhere."
"No matter who or what the organization is, if they want to cooperate with us to explore treasures, we must be the main ones. The leadership of the joint exploration team must be in our hands. This is not negotiable!"
"Then there's the issue of how to distribute the treasure. We don't accept commissions for hiring, we only accept a share of the treasure. This is also non-negotiable."
"If you provide relevant information about the treasure, such as the approximate location or treasure map, and the treasure is on your land, we can discuss a suitable sharing ratio to allocate the treasure."
"No matter what the situation of this treasure is, the lowest share ratio we can accept is 50-50. Only if the above conditions are met, can we have the possibility of cooperation."
"ah!"
There was a cry of exclamation at the scene, and everyone was shocked by Xiao Ran's words.
Especially the several Indian chiefs, all of them were stunned.
They never expected that Xiao Ran's appetite would be so big.
No matter what the treasure is, if you cooperate with him, he will take away at least half of the treasure!
This bastard is exactly like the legend, extremely greedy!
While shocked, several Indian chiefs secretly complained.
After a while, they finally woke up.
Immediately afterwards, several Indian chiefs shook their heads in unison.
"Impossible! At least half of the treasure. What you want is too much. We can't agree to it!"
"You know, the treasure we're talking about is a series of treasures scattered across different reservations."
"If the legends of these treasures are true and can be found successfully, the value of these treasures will be amazing."
"Your family is going to take away at least half of all the treasures, but our tribes can only get a small part. This is unfair!"
Chief Shanfeng shook his head firmly and said.
Xiao Ran looked at these Indian chiefs and shrugged indifferently.
"If you think it's unfair, that's okay, we don't need to talk about cooperation."
"The treasure legends in your respective tribes can continue to be passed down."
"Sometime in the future, people from your tribe may be able to find those treasures, and that would be great."
Upon hearing this, several Indian chiefs were immediately dumbfounded and looked at each other.
They never expected that Xiao Ran would refuse so simply when faced with the temptation of a series of treasures.
Such a result was so unexpected that they were stunned on the spot, not knowing how to respond.
After being stunned for a moment, several Indian chiefs came to their senses.
Immediately afterwards, several of them walked to the side and discussed a few words in Indian language in a low voice.
Three to five minutes later, they turned back.
Then, Chief Shanfeng whispered:
"Sean, we still need to discuss whether to cooperate with your company and jointly explore the treasure. We can't give you an answer now."
"But we still hope that we can reach a cooperation agreement, which is a good thing for both of us."
Xiao Ran looked at the old chief and then nodded.
"Mr. Chief, of course you can discuss it. This is your right and no one can take it away!"
"If you think about it, you can contact me at any time. I have been in Boston during this time."
"If your discussion and consideration takes a long time, you can also go to Los Angeles to find me to discuss cooperation."
"Whether we can reach cooperation or not, it will not affect our becoming friends."
With that said, he shook hands with Chief Shanfeng.
Following his words, several Indian chiefs nodded slightly.
The hostility hidden in their eyes also decreased a lot.
Next, Xiao Ran took several Indian chiefs to watch the real-time footage of the exploratory cleanup operation.
During this process, these Indian chiefs once again proposed that they hope to visit this sacred place of the Massachusetts people.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
However, the gold and corpses scattered at the bottom of the underground fissure can only be cleared tomorrow before several Indian chiefs can visit.
After receiving the permission, several Indian chiefs were very excited and looking forward to tomorrow's visit.
Next, Professor Baker and the others discussed with several Indian chiefs the Indian antiques, murals, etc. found in underground cracks.
These Indian chiefs' understanding of those antique artifacts and murals was not exactly the same as Professor Baker's.
After some discussion, Professor Baker and the others made some new discoveries and gained a lot of inspiration.
Since it was almost evening, John and the others were the first to leave with the large amount of gold they had traded!
Watching the boxes and bags filled with gold being transported out of the chapel, several Indian chiefs looked at them with admiration.
But they also understand that they can't do anything and can't change anything!
Even after hundreds of years have passed, the Indians in North America are still robbed and have no power to change the reality!
Shortly after John and the others left with the gold, several Indian chiefs also said goodbye and walked out of the small church.
Next, Xiao Ran warned some employees and security personnel working in the church, and then took them out of the church and prepared to return to the hotel.
When a group of them walked out of the church, they saw it at a glance.
Several Indian chiefs who had come out of the church before, along with many young and tough tribesmen, were still standing outside the cordon.
The people gathered around to watch the excitement, as well as many media reporters, all stared at this group of Indians in costumes.
Seeing Xiao Ran coming out, several Indian chiefs nodded and said hello to him, acting friendly.
The young Indians standing behind them all stared at Xiao Ran with wide eyes, full of unwillingness.
There is also anger and hatred in the eyes of some of these guys.
Xiao Ran nodded and greeted several Indian chiefs, and then walked towards the motorcade parked on the roadside.
As for the young Indians with angry eyes, he simply ignored them.
While they were talking, they had arrived at the car and were about to leave in the car.
At this moment, several media reporters standing outside the cordon began to ask questions loudly.
"Good evening, Sean, I'm a reporter for The New York Times."
"May I ask, are these Indian chiefs here for this colonial treasure?"
"What did you talk about just now? Can you introduce the situation?"
A white reporter in his thirties asked loudly.
Before he finished speaking, another reporter asked:
"Hello Sean, I'm a reporter from Colombia TV"
"As we all know, this treasure was hidden by the people of Massachusetts. The things in the treasure are all Indian antiques and gold and silver treasures."
"Now that the chiefs of the major Indian tribes in North America have arrived here, will you consider returning the contents of this treasure to the Indians?"
Obviously, this is a guy who doesn't take things too seriously.
The question he asked showed his evil intentions.
Every reporter on the scene had this mentality.
Without exception, they were all eager for Xiao Ran to have a conflict with the Indians immediately, that would be lively.
Xiao Ran was too lazy to pay attention to these guys. He just waved to several Indian chiefs and then got into the bulletproof SUV.
After the others got on the bus, the convoy immediately started and drove away.
Looking at the convoy that was quickly moving away, a young Indian standing behind Chief Shanfeng suddenly whispered:
"This bastard Sean's security is really tight. Does he bring so many armed security guards every time he travels?"
"The umbrellas held by his guys seem to be legendary bulletproof umbrellas. They are so fucking luxurious!"
Before he finished speaking, several Indian chiefs turned their heads and looked over.
Especially Chief Shanfeng, his eyes are extremely sharp!
He gave the young Indian a sharp look, and then whispered:
"Liema, you'd better be honest and don't even think about attacking Sean."
"This guy looks harmless to humans and animals, but he is actually known to be cruel and ruthless. Countless people have died at his hands!"
"If you dare to attack this guy, you will probably be killed by him, and it will affect all of us."
"More importantly, we are ready to cooperate with this magical guy to explore some treasures of various tribes."
"In this case, it's best not to provoke this guy. In fact, we don't need to be his enemy!"
Before he finished speaking, several other Indian chiefs nodded in agreement.
Those young Indians were stunned on the spot.
"If you cooperate with this guy, what will you do with the holy land and treasure in front of you? Are you going to watch this treasure being swept away?"
The young Indian named Liema roared unwillingly.
Although he really didn't want to admit it, Shanfeng nodded helplessly.
"We have no chance to get our hands on this treasure. We can only find ways to buy some antiques with special significance as souvenirs."
"However, this sacred place will be preserved, and all Indians can come here to visit and worship in the future..."
After hearing what Chief Shanfeng said, all the Indians at the scene fell silent.
Each of them looked unwilling and gritted their teeth.
However, they can't change anything!
