Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 598 Plan
In addition to discussing the deciphering of secret words at the gathering at Nelson's house, several people discussed the matter of money distribution at the end.

Under normal circumstances, the owner of this thing should get half of the wealth, and the other half of the wealth should be shared equally by those who discover it.

However, considering that everyone is financially rich, and because everyone attaches great importance to the status of the Golden Dawn, everyone chooses to divide the money according to the internal rules of the Golden Dawn.

Anyway, the law only draws a bottom line in this regard, so how Liang En and the others divide the income is their own business, as long as they can negotiate well, there will be no problem.

Different from the supremacy of land rights stipulated by the law, the Mutual Aid Association will pay more attention to the contribution of each person in solving the problem. Therefore, after a simple calculation, Liang En received half of the bonus, which is 650 million pounds.

This money is very important to Liang En. Although it is said that with the development of various industries and the popularity of those books, his annual income is between 7000 million and 8000 million pounds, and there is a possibility of further increase, but his hands are flexible. Not much cash.

After all, whether it is a mine or a variety of treasure hunts, money is needed, especially the initial investment in a mine is like a gold-swallowing monster, no matter how much money is spent, it will be exhausted.

It was also thanks to Liang En who had summoned Elizabeth Bathory before. With the help of this noblewoman, he finally persevered in this situation, and finally survived the most difficult moment.

But even so, the extra millions of pounds can make Liang En's capital turnover a lot easier, at least the funds needed for the implementation of the next plan will be much easier.

Because it was already late that night when everyone finished chatting, they simply stayed in the guest room. As soon as Liang En entered the room, Liang En called Elizabeth Bathory to inform her of the news.

After all, almost all of Liang En's wealth is now controlled by Elizabeth, so it is also a must to notify her when there is a property change.

"My lord, your money came in a very timely manner." Knowing that such a sum of income was about to enter the account, Elizabeth seemed very excited.

"If this is the case, our salvage plan in the waters around Florida should be able to proceed relatively smoothly. After all, Florida's asking price this time is indeed very high."

In another world, the U.S. and the state of Florida once reneged on the salvage of the Lady Atoka. Although the subsequent court ruling was in favor of the Fisher family who discovered it, Liang En was still raised by this incident. Be vigilant.

So during the negotiation, Liang En and the others simply clarified the situation inside and asked the other party to sign a detailed authorization contract.

In fact, the Fisher family had a problem in this place. I don’t know if it was because of economic reasons or because it was impossible to find a legal practitioner. The two parties left a lot of ambiguity when signing the contract, so that happened later. dispute.

The laws of Europe and the United States, especially the Anglo-American law system, are very good: it is not easy to overturn what has been decided. It cannot be overturned by a simple administrative order. Even if you try to tamper with the law, it will seriously damage the country's reputation. ,

Although Liang En didn't have much confidence in the moral bottom line of the United States, after weighing the pros and cons, he also understood that a big country like the United States would not destroy its national reputation with things worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Yes, hundreds of millions of dollars may be an astronomical figure for an individual or even a group, but for a big country, it is far from worth destroying its national credibility.

The governments of the United States and the state of Florida also realized the purpose behind Liang En's attitude in applying for a license, so they naturally set out a lot of conditions.

Judging from the current conditions, the other party put forward a series of trivial requirements, such as requiring that the salvaged items belong to Liang En, but the salvaged items are not allowed to leave the US border without permission.

The only exception is metal ingots or unprocessed and only roughly processed gemstones that are considered raw materials. These things are considered to have little humanistic value, so they are allowed to leave the country.

Other than that, Liang En could be auctioned off, but they could only be auctioned in auction houses that were specified in a batch of agreements in the United States and recognized by both parties.

There are many similar clauses, but the exchange is that Liang En can own 25% of the fished out ownership, instead of needing to share [-]% like the Fisher family in history.

The main point of the negotiation between the two parties is how much the Florida federal government needs to pay to Liang En to obtain this license. This figure is directly related to the cost of salvage.

In another world, the Fisher family is not required to pay these additional funds, so there will be so many lawsuits in the future, and at the same time they have to share 1/4 of the treasure.

So from a certain point of view, free things are the most expensive things, because these free things will one day pay the price in one form or another, or even several times the price.

It's just that because they didn't make every effort to get part of the salvaged items, the federal government and the state government naturally demanded a lot of money at the beginning, and even offered a sky-high price of 600 million US dollars a year.

But Elizabeth took the salvage job as a very risky business as a foothold in negotiations, and has now successfully cut the required annual payment to $400 million.

"If there are no accidents, we can reduce the cost to about 350 million US dollars. If it goes down, the time cost invested will not be worthwhile compared with what we get." Elizabeth finally reported.

"I trust your judgment, so everything depends on you." Liang En was very satisfied with Elizabeth Bathory's work report, and said that she could handle the next matters by herself, and there was no need to report.

Elizabeth was very happy with Liang En's trust. At least from the tone of her final farewell, she could tell that her good mood could last for several days.

"It seems that it is very troublesome to carry out salvage work within the territorial waters of the country." Joan of Arc asked after Liang En hung up the phone, "Then why don't we salvage on the high seas?"

"The high seas? It's actually more troublesome." Liang En smiled and said to Joan of Arc, "Because according to the law, it is indisputable that sunken objects within the territorial waters of a country belong to this country."

"The ownership of sunken objects salvaged on the high seas is a very complicated matter, which is related to a series of circumstances such as the nationality of the ship, the nature of the ship, and the source of the cargo on the ship."

"That is to say, it is indeed very troublesome for us to salvage the sunken ship in the territorial waters of the United States and negotiate with the Americans, but if we are on the high seas, we may have to negotiate with a group of people. This is simpler."

"Oh, so that's the case. I thought sunken ships on the high seas could be salvaged casually." After hearing Liang En's explanation, Joan showed a clear expression. "Now I can only hope that everything goes well with Elizabeth."
