In New York, at a high-end cocktail party, some handsome men and beautiful women shuttled back and forth, looking for their goals.
Brown was holding a glass of wine and chatting with another person.
"I heard that you found the treasure of your ancestors this time?" The other party raised his glass in congratulations, "It seems that your crisis has been resolved."
"No." Brown shook his head slightly and said, "I can say this to others, but to you, I am honest. Although the treasure has indeed been found, not all of it has been found. My goal has not been achieved yet. "
"That's better than mine." The other person is a middle-aged man with gray hair, a hooked nose, about fifty years old, slightly thinner, taller than Brown, even if he is talking to his old friend Brown, his face does not look like that. Smile.
Several people wanted to come over and talk to them, but were frightened away by the serious expressions.
"I have found the treasures of my ancestors, but none of them have been found by more than a dozen teams of treasure hunters. Alas, damn, I already want to give up."
Brown rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"Actually, I was able to find the treasure this time, thanks to a very lucky young man. If it hadn't been for him, I would have returned empty-handed like last year."
"How do you say it?" Although the cold man was not immediately interested, he felt that Brown's words were a bit unusual.
He had heard a lot of professional talk about treasure hunters, but this was the first time he said he was lucky.
"I was introduced to this Chinese guy. He is a newbie in this industry. He has only been in the industry for less than half a year. He can be considered an amateur at best."
"You dare to use such a person?" The cold man was a little surprised. Brown is not the kind of casual person. Brown has been in business for many years. He is steady and clear-headed. Although he is greedy, he is still a successful businessman.
Although he is facing bankruptcy this time, the main reason is not caused by him, it is just the general trend.
It's really surprising that such a person can choose a novice to do such an important thing.
"Because although he has only been in the industry for half a year, he has had two very successful treasure hunting experiences." Brown took a sip of red wine and explained, "I think he is very lucky."
The stern man nodded slightly, accepting this reason.
"And he didn't disappoint me. During the treasure hunt, it took less than three days to find the treasure." Brown looked complicated and did not continue after saying this.
The talk with Zhu Yu collapsed, and his two bodyguards also disappeared. Brown almost understood that Zhu Yu might not be as simple as he appeared.
But Brown's main focus at the time was on treasure hunting.
He resorted to various means and spent a lot of money to bring in machinery. He also spent a lot of effort to cut down a large number of trees and put the machinery on the shore of White Bird Lake.
In Brown's view, this is already the best time - last year, the area of White Bird Lake was several times larger than it is now, and it was not determined that this was the goal at the time.
Now that he knows this is White Bird Lake, Brown is sure that there are definitely tons of treasures under this lake!
Think about it, how many years did the Indians survive here before they were massacred?
This is their holy lake! There is a sacrifice every year! After the sacrifice, all the sacrifices must be put in.
So in theory, in this lake, there is gold that several tribes of Indians have sacrificed for thousands of years!
Brown was so excited that he didn't even care about Zhu Yu's whereabouts.
Even though he later learned that Zhu Yu had returned to New York safely and speculated that the two bodyguards of the political situation must have died in Zhu Yu's hands, Brown had no intention of caring about Zhu Yu at that time.
His thoughts were all about clearing the lake of water and silt.
However, what Brown did not expect was that the water in White Bird Lake would be dry, not entirely because the upstream water was cut off, but more importantly because the spring at the bottom of the lake was blocked.
As a result, the excavation not only failed to dig out the treasure, but also dug out the spring, causing the lake water to rise rapidly. In the end, the plan could only fail.
Although Brown was unwilling to give in, looking at the White Bird Lake that had expanded ten times, he knew that things could only go so far.
Even if a water pump is brought in now, it will be useless.
After all, this place is located deep in the mountains and old forests, there is no electricity, and the water cannot be drained out.
Brown later thought about hiring divers to go down when the water surface stabilized, but the water surface kept slowly expanding, and the underwater silt was constantly being lifted up, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Brown finally understood that, at least this year, it would be impossible to dig for treasure in White Bird Lake.
Had to withdraw.
Thinking of Zhu Yu's incident again at this time, Brown felt strongly unwilling.
Why did that kid take away treasure worth millions in just three days?
However, at this time, Zhu Yu lived in seclusion and did not even go out for several days.
Brown wanted to embarrass him, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, this is New York, not a pristine forest.
Brown felt very sad, but there was nothing he could do.
Now in the presence of this old friend, Brown immediately thought of recommending Zhu Yu to him.
Peter has Viking ancestry, and his ancestors were pirates. When he was young, his family fell into decline, but Peter was ruthless enough. He first followed a gangster, and then took advantage of the gang fight to rise to power, and then directly led him The gang's funds were laundered and they became businessmen.
Compared with Brown, Peter is ruthless and difficult to approach.
Brown is one of Peter's few friends.
Brown believes that if Zhu Yu falls into Peter's hands, no matter whether the treasure is found or not, the final outcome will not be good.
"I heard that he even shared 30% of your treasure?" Peter asked expressionlessly, "You don't look like such a tolerant person."
"Indeed," Brown didn't hide it at all when facing Peter, "I sent someone to intercept him, but unfortunately he ran away."
"Give me your contact information. I need to investigate." Peter was more powerful than Brown, and the treasure he needed to find was more difficult.
The clues cannot be given in vain, Peter needs to see if Zhu Yu has the strength.
Although the clues Peter got about the treasure were far less clear than Brown's, after evaluation, the value of Peter's treasure may be far greater than Brown's.
At least bigger than what Brown is getting now.
Brown didn't say everything, but Peter already knew through channels the actual situation of Brown's finding the treasure this time.
Brown is quite stingy, especially to his opponents. So it was very easy for Peter to get information.
Just give me money.
Brown smiled and told Peter Zhu Yu's contact information.
"It's such a beautiful night, let's not talk about these unpleasant things." Brown said with a smile: "There are so many beautiful women looking at us, we can't break their hearts, right?"
Peter gave a rare grin and said nothing.
He is not as playful as Brown. For him, such an occasion is about looking for opportunities.
As for having fun, he won't show his true colors here.
