George set the meeting place at a restaurant in New York City.
George said to Zhu Yu while cutting the steak:
"The beef in this restaurant comes from my ranch, so you have to taste it. The beef from my ranch is very good!"
Zhu Yu can already use a knife and fork skillfully to eat.
He asked while cutting the beef:
"About this treasure hunt..."
George put a piece of beef into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and then said with a smile:
"Young people are impatient."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it to Zhu Yu:
"The clues are all on this piece of paper. But it must be noted that all the investment in finding the treasure will be borne by you. After the treasure is found, 20% will be given to the provider of the clues."
Zhu Yu nodded.
"Then just sign this." George wiped his mouth with a napkin and took out another piece of paper:
"This is the contract."
Zhu Yu looked at it carefully. There were only two contents on it. The first one was that George provided a treasure clue to Zhu Yu. The second one was that Zhu Yu looked for the treasure according to this treasure clue. If he found it, he would give 20% of the clue. provider.
Zhu Yu didn't feel there was any trap, so he signed it.
George stood up and said:
"Okay, it's over. The rest is up to you, young man, I think you can do it! Come on!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Only then did Zhu Yu have time to look at the clue.
The clue is also very simple, just a few sentences.
A World War II officer named Joseph returned from the battlefield in the Philippines and was said to have brought back a lot of property.
After Joseph came back, he retired from the army, bought a manor in the suburbs, married a nurse, and later gave birth to two sons.
Eight years later, Joseph died in a car accident. When his family was cleaning things, they found that there were not many belongings at home, and the so-called gold and gems brought back from the Philippines were not found at all.
Then some people analyzed that Joseph was hiding because he had a car accident and did not have time to tell his family.
Not many people know the clues to this treasure, but there are some. First, Joseph's descendants searched the entire farm, but found nothing. Then he entrusted the treasure hunter to find it.
Over the past few decades, a total of six treasure hunters have searched for this treasure. Except for a man who found a small box of gold in an abandoned cellar of the manor at the end of the last century, there was no other harvest.
Now the clues belong to Zhu Yu.
The note also stated that if Zhu Yu found a treasure in the manor, 40% of it would go to Joseph's family - the remaining 60% would be given to George, and Zhu Yu would get the last 40%.
It turns out that he is still waiting for me here!
Zhu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But thinking about it, it’s not bad.
At least others have provided clues. If you really find the treasure, you can't justify not paying others.
After lunch, Zhu Yu turned back to the port.
According to the information provided by Old John, there are still several containers salvaged from the sea at the port terminal today for auction.
When Zhu Yu arrived at the port with Jason, the auction had already begun.
The auctioneer is introducing the origin of the container:
"These two containers came from the oil-rich countries in the Middle East! Because the ship encountered pirates on the way, the containers were thrown into the sea. After they were fished out, the cargo owner no longer wanted them."
This information has now been made public by the auctioneer, who is obviously trying to get more money from the auction.
The auction assistant used pliers to cut the lock and opened the door to reveal the contents.
A smell of sea smell filled the air.
Inside the container, several large pieces of furniture were entangled with a lot of kelp and other unknown seaweed.
These pieces of furniture should have been relatively valuable when they were in good condition, but now they are worthless.
Because there were a lot of furniture, which blocked what was going on inside, everyone used various postures to look inside.
Fortunately, they are all relatively well-behaved. Zhu Yu also pretended to glance at it, and his heart suddenly became excited.
But on the surface, he pretended to have discovered nothing and took two steps back.
Big Joey came up to him and said loudly:
"Zhu, I heard that the Hispanics are causing trouble for you? You have to be careful lately!"
Zhu Yushen was annoyed with this guy, but it was hard to get angry now. He pretended not to care and said:
"It's them who should be careful! Am I afraid of them? As long as they dare to mess with me, I will let them taste the power of Chinese Kung Fu!"
Of course Zhu Yu didn't just say that, others even thought Zhu Yu was right!
Zhu Yu fought against others several times, and either heard or saw with his own eyes that his fighting power was definitely not something ordinary people could withstand.
The auctioneer spoke:
"This container from the Country of Wealth is now open for auction. The base price is five hundred US dollars. Each increase will not be less than one hundred US dollars. The auction is now open. Mr. Madden bids five thousand US dollars. Do you want to increase the price?"
The base price was five hundred, but Old Madden repeated his old trick and directly increased the price by five thousand. Big Joey pushed him hard in anger!
Old Madden remained unmoved and stared at the container as if he had already pocketed it.
Zhu Yu raised his hand:
"Six thousand dollars!"
Diana raised her hand:
"Six thousand five hundred dollars!"
The three Ralph brothers also raised their hands:
"Eight thousand dollars!"
…
The price soon reached eleven thousand dollars, and Madden Lao, Brother Ralph and Zhu Yu were still raising the price.
Old Madden raised his hand again:
"Fifteen thousand dollars!"
Ralph Brothers markup:
"Sixteen thousand dollars!"
Zhu Yu raised his hand: "Twenty thousand dollars!"
This price immediately scared off both bidders.
Old Madden shrugged:
"There is one more, this one belongs to you. Zhu, you are so courageous!"
Zhu Yu smiled:
"I just think this one looks more pleasing to the eye."
After paying the money, the auctioneer turned to the second container to prepare for the auction.
Some people followed, but a few stayed.
Brother Ralph came over to see Zhu Yu and Jason cleaning the containers.
Zhu Yu was a little confused and asked:
"Aren't you going to take pictures?"
"Shoot." Ralph asked his two brothers to go over and look at the containers over there, while he moved closer to Zhu Yu and whispered:
"Zhu, can we cooperate in the future? I think the container you are interested in must have good things in it!"
Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"I have other things to do. I won't have much time to auction the containers later. Forget about the cooperation."
Ralph turned around and left with some regret.
After he left, the busty woman Diana also came over and bumped Zhu Yu with her shoulder:
"Zhu, what do you think? Let's cooperate? From now on, I will fully support you in taking photos of the containers you like, and we will share the good stuff equally!"
what is it today?
Zhu Yu was a little confused, but declined, using the same excuse as he gave to Ralph.
Diana was still a little unwilling to give up and wanted to grind it out, but Zhu Yu and Jason took out a soaked Simmons mattress directly from the container. A fishy smell hit her nostrils, and Diana hurriedly covered her nose and left.
This mattress is obviously useless.
What was pulled out next was a wooden cabinet. The wood had been soaked and rotted. Zhu Yu looked through it and found that some of the clothes in the cabinet were obviously of little value.
The remaining few who were watching the excitement found that it seemed to be full of old furniture and there was nothing interesting about it, so they went to look at the containers being auctioned over there.
There are only two containers. This one has an owner, and all the competition is directed towards that one.
Then soon, the price of the remaining container soared to 18,000, and it was still rising!
Zhu Yu pulled out a large ball of kelp from the container and took the opportunity to take a look over there.
Looking through the container door, there is furniture in the container over there, but a few suitcases can still be seen through the gaps.
It's hard to say that it was these suitcases that attracted these people to pay high prices.
But only Zhu Yu knew that the suitcase contained some clothes, books, etc., and it was no longer in shape now.
It’s not like here, but there is a big guy!
