ALL NOVEL Chapter 46 Negotiation
"Okay, now 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, then simply packed up and rushed out of his newly rented apartment. Go to the apartment to find Pierce.
This new apartment is a long-term rental apartment that Liang En changed to after making money last time. It is located in the center of London. It has three bedrooms and one living room, with full furniture and kitchenware. Compared with the original apartment that only had a bathroom and a room, the comfort level was more than one level higher.
Of course, the rent has also gone up by more than one level. From £145 a week to £450. If Liang En hadn't planned to make London the core of his work in the near future, he wouldn't be willing to spend so much money to rent a house here.
When he came to the store, he found that Pierce was bored on the computer looking at the photos he took during his recent vacation.
Because of the previous income, Pierce went to the Isle of Wight for a short vacation during this time. So when Liang En went to him with this new mission, he found that he was as ready as himself to start a new adventure.
As for his style of spending money as soon as he makes it, Chinese people may not understand it, but for a European, it is too normal. And Liang En has been accustomed to this kind of situation after living here for so many years.
"Do you have any new commissions when you come here today?" Pierce immediately became excited when he saw Liang En walking into the store. For him, Liang En has brought him too many surprises during this period, so he naturally hopes to be able to do it again. There is a chance for a treasure hunt.
"Yes, this is a commission from a French count to find a person who has been missing for seventy or eighty years." Liang En leaned on the counter and said, "The other party is willing to bear all travel expenses for up to five people, so I’m coming to find you.”
"Okay, let's follow the old rules." Pierce nodded and said, because this time the other party directly arranged the commission for Liang En, so according to the rules, Pierce would only get three to one-tenth 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 count, he could just take this opportunity to go to Eastern Europe to collect some goods.
Early the next morning, the two people took a plane to Paris. Then in a hotel in Paris, I met the count's butler who had been waiting there in advance.
"Nice to see you again." After seeing Liang En enter, the housekeeper quickly stood up and shook hands with Liang En, then took out a box.
"After knowing that you received the commission, I prepared all the information we collected before. You can take a look at these materials and the information found by previous personnel."
"According to the information we have now, Master Dulis was working with a ski company on the front line. And these people often moved behind the Soviet army and tried to cut off supply lines."
"It's just that this company was shelled by the opponent when it completed the operation and moved. Because it was night time, the entire company was completely scattered during the shelling. When they finally gathered together, they realized that Dulis The young master has not come back."
"So the reason why I am entrusting you this time is to hope that you can find the whereabouts of Master Dulis, even if you only have one accurate word. Of course, it would be better if you can find the relics on him or even his own remains."
"This -" After five minutes of silence, Liang En's face showed a look of embarrassment, because he found that the pile of information that could be confirmed now was very problematic, and even did not have much value to him.
For example, in the battle record of the Soviet side, which should be the most valuable in theory, the other side only wrote that artillery shells were fired at many suspicious areas that night, without mentioning a word about the results of the shelling.
The reason for this situation is 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 the shelling to check the results of their shelling.
But this also caused huge trouble for the searchers afterwards, because a few days were enough for the firepower of both sides to completely destroy the area.
"I know what you are thinking now. In fact, I have been busy with this job since my grandfather's generation, and outsiders almost think we are crazy." The butler with gray hair on the sideburns leaned back in the chair behind him and said. arrive.
"But since our family lost an important family member that year, the family vowed never to give up any member."
"So even though it costs us a lot of money and energy to do something like this, we still won't stop looking. And that's why we hired you."
"Of course, you don't need to feel too much psychological pressure. After all, we have been searching for more than seventy years, so it doesn't matter even if you don't find Master Dulis after going this time."
As the butler finished speaking, Liang En narrowed his eyes and began to think, because for him, this kind of contract with no clear regulations and extremely loose conditions was much more troublesome than those with strict conditions.
At least compared to losing money, Liang En didn't want to owe these people too many favors.
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 entire family does not want to let go of any possibility.
According to the information collected by the housekeeper before, this Chinese-Irish man seems to have been favored by the god of luck since he entered the industry. He can find huge amounts of wealth almost every time he makes a move.
Therefore, in his opinion, Liang En was the one most likely to find Master Dulis among the treasure hunters he had seen in his life.
"I accepted this task." After a few minutes, Liang En made the final decision, and then looked at the butler seriously and said.
"But I think you should know that without new information, 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 butler breathed out and relaxed suddenly. "So I won't put any restrictions on you during this operation-"
After confirming that Liang En had accepted the task, the housekeeper began to talk about the entrustment requirements. In fact, as mentioned yesterday, Liang En and Pierce paid all the expenses required for this operation.
In addition, all the items found by Liang En and the others during the treasure hunt, except for the relics and remains registered on a table, everything belongs to Liang En and the others.
If they dig out treasures that cannot be taken away by just two people during the operation, then the earl will help them transport those things back to Britain or Ireland from those places.
"Have you finished talking?" After seeing Liang En walking out of the building, Pierce, who had been waiting in the hotel lobby, put down the drink in his hand and turned around to ask.
"Yes, the negotiation is over, and the other party has now given us 5,000 euros in basic activity funds." Liang En said as he put the document package in his hand on the table.
"It sounds like the reward from the other party is indeed good, and it's worth our trip." Pierce nodded, and then asked, "So what are your plans now?"
"Let's go to Vyborg first, and then set off from there to visit the ruins of the Mannerheim Line of Defense on the Karelian Isthmus." Liang En said with some helplessness. "But before that, we may need two or three days to sort out the information collected by the other party."
The reason why we need to study the data is also very simple, because dozens of teams have accepted this task over the past seventy years. Therefore, Liang En hopes to find some useful clues by studying the information left by his predecessors.
