American Fortune Life
Chapter 1161: Treasures, relics, and wind
The history of human development is also the history of wealth accumulation. Human beings continue to create wealth, and wealth also drives humanity forward. However, in the tunnel of time, there is also a portion of the wealth parked there for various reasons. They are either buried deep in the ground, or deliberately hidden, or hidden in secret, and become mysterious treasures. Finding a treasure by accident is probably the dream of everyone. Finding a treasure has always been an excitement for anyone.
For Joseph's direct guess that Andy may be looking for a treasure, mainly because he knows his boss's unprofitable and early personality, and he is a little excited, of course, because of his kind of boss Trust, a kind of trust that will never be missed.
Since the big boss asked him to send someone to choose such an ancient temple, it means that the possession of the treasure may be very large.
"At this time, I am not sure. According to the words I have, the first thing to do is to find a target that meets it, and then decide what to do next. Send this person to implement it as soon as possible, pay attention to confidentiality, and inquire locally. When it ’s too time, do n’t be too obvious. Everything must be traceless. Confirm this temple before you say it. ”
Andy's eyes flickered slightly, and he said solemnly, now that other things are considered nonsense. The first thing to do is to find this ancient temple. As for how to dig and transport it away, you need to plan slowly.
After all, he is trying to dig the corner of his country. Faced with tens of billions of dollars of wealth, no matter he is an individual or a country, he will be crazy, and he will be dead! What's more, it's a magical country like Asan. Digging for treasure in other temples is undoubtedly a tiger's beard to ward off Hinduism.
Andy is pretentious and will not choose to be a hostile country. To get these treasures silently and securely, it is not only necessary to be careful, but also to plan and move, both manpower and time. It takes a lot of investment.
"I see, boss, I will choose someone from the trained Gurkha mercenary battalion to send to Kerala, India. After all, neither the language nor the appearance will attract the attention of the locals ..."
After hearing Joseph's arrangement, Andy frowned slightly: "Gurkhas also believe in Hinduism. Don't tell them the truth about finding treasures. For faith, we can't guarantee that they will obey orders. In this way, a few more people will accompany him. The Erkha people go together, as long as they find a temple with a similar architectural shape and take a good picture, and get some information, I have to confirm the goal first. "
"Good boss, I know what to do." Joseph responded with a serious expression.
"By the way, I saw a batch of 'Afghan arts and crafts' in the briefing yesterday." Andy originally wanted to end the video, but thought of the briefing I saw before, I couldn't help asking more.
"Here are some handicrafts harvested in the several cleaning missions completed after the Eagle of Freedom settled in the northern city of Afghanistan, plus the head of the branch, knowing that the boss likes these handicrafts, and Balkh is currently the largest of Balkh The underground arts and crafts trading market is of high quality and low price, and he made the boss get a batch of precious crafts lost ... "
After hearing Joseph's introduction, Andy nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "I'm interested, take me to say thank you, wait for the package to arrive, let people make a catalog and put in a library, and give him a 100,000 bonus, and "The arts and crafts they harvest make people valued, and the bonuses will be distributed at that time, and the young people will not be disadvantaged."
"Good boss, I thank them for your generosity."
"Well, let's do this first, don't bother you to rest. Good night." After Joseph said goodbye, Andy closed the video, his mouth slightly tilted, and muttered "interesting guy, interesting crafts."
Shaking his head and laughing, he stood up and walked out. Since the last time he got the relics from Iraq, as a big boss, he has generously distributed bonuses. After this group of guys tasted the sweetness, all members of the Eagle of Freedom We all know that my boss has a hobby for collecting. Therefore, in the next time, almost every branch will deliberately collect and collect cultural relics, and then pack and ship them back to the Montana headquarters.
As more and more cultural relics are transported back, they need to be stored in separate warehouses, especially some stone statues and stone carvings. Although some are destroyed and cut, the volume is still large.
To be honest, it is impossible to say that all cultural relics are valuable. After all, if a country's cultural relics are to be sold at a high price in the cultural relics market, the supply and demand market must first be met, that is, someone is willing to pay a large price.
Gold in troubled times and antiques in flourishing times are true. Therefore, whether it is cultural relics in Iraq or Afghanistan, except for some special precious cultural relics, most of which are also valuable, but they are not very exaggerated and more important. Still historical value.
Although Andy has n’t had time to look at the real thing, the extent of the damage seen in the photos is quite unpleasant. Now that things are in his hands, maybe it is also a good destination. You must know that whether it is Iraq Or is Afghanistan constantly turbulent and fighting in the civil war, and there is simply no spare energy or funds to protect these precious cultural relics.
But it's not just the militants who are destroying ancient treasures. According to Joseph, in Afghanistan, farmers, merchants and grave robbers also ventured to the northern city of Balkh, hoping to dig up ancient artifacts and sell them on the black market.
There, the black market for cultural relics has become increasingly profitable. The government and the army are busy fighting, stabilizing the domestic situation, and have no time to take care of such crimes. For Afghans, protecting cultural relics seems less urgent than meeting basic human needs.
"My dear, what is the mystery of your god?" Ivana, who was chatting hot with Li Xiaoying for lunch, saw Andy with a somber look coming in, and he had a heavy heart after leaving the Forbidden City. I ran into the study as soon as I got home, and I still have the same expression, which made Ivana curious.
Andy smiled, knowing that he could not always perfuse Ivana, so he cut out the handicrafts returned from Afghanistan and lamented the damage caused by the war.
After hearing Andy's explanation, Ivana and Li Xiaoying also sighed. The source of all these evils was caused by the war launched by the United States. For whatever purpose, the United States also believed that the war had been won, but it was also thorough. The normal order of the two countries has been destroyed, and the trauma of the war is continuing to bleed between the two countries.
Ivana was aware of the atmosphere, and the topic was a bit dignified. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Dear, everyone will come tomorrow. How are you going to welcome your family?"
"Oh, I really have a headache when talking about it. The president of Xiaofei Shoes is also coming from Seoul to Beijing tomorrow, not only him, but also the treasurer Henry Paulson, and everyone will arrive tomorrow, plus my grandparents, grandparents , Mom and Dad will also arrive on the same plane. At that time, the government of the North Korea will receive the relevant leaders. I would like to receive them all to stay at the Haiziyuan, but the guests can do whatever they want, but it depends. Tomorrow's reception party must be inevitable. "
Andy said with a weeping smile, saying that the busiest now is the Tianchao government of the host's host. There are too many big guys coming in. Diplomatic ping is also the busiest tarmac these days.
"Seriously, I do n’t want to see Henry Paulson. Although he was attending the Olympics this time, it was a family trip in form, but he actually came to Tianchao. I do n’t want to give him a platform. The problem is that the Tianchao government has long been Seeing that the two bedrooms are a pit product, how could it be possible to spend money on the water and sell the two-bedroom bonds without losing the well, he should burn the incense, Nima, and intends to flicker with a bad heart ... ... "
Li Xiaoying's eyes narrowed slightly, her mouth slightly tilted, she held a knife and fork, and said with a sneer: "It's not surprising. I studied Paulson. When he was an EO at Goldman Sachs, he used the participation in the privatization of the dynasty and the United States. The securitization of China has accumulated about 700 million US dollars of personal wealth, and the acquisition of all these properties has caused great damage to the workers in the heavens and the financial system of the United States, leading to the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. It can be said that He was the real culprit in this securitization mess, but no one has ever mentioned it, and I have to admit that Goldman Sachs does have extraordinary influence, not just in the United States ...
