Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Li Mo must have a deep meaning when he asked this question. Director Mei and Director Yu looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Xu Zhijun has already explained that the Xu family in the United States is facing the dangerous situation of being acquired, so it is in urgent need of huge funds. Otherwise, they would not have sold six listed companies with a market value of 35 billion to 30 billion. Price is cheap.”

Li Mo showed a smile: "Director Mei, I may not understand enough. What exactly do you want to convey to me? You want to handle this matter in a low-key manner, but you don't seem to be willing to let the 27 billion funds flow. Overseas? Can I understand that?"

“Professor Li, I never told you that.”

 Director Mei refused, but his eyes seemed to reveal that he had this idea. After Li Mo thought about it for a while, he had an idea.

The Xu family has been doing business in China for decades, and they must have deep connections in Kyoto. Now that Xu Pingjun has taken full responsibility for the Xu family's smuggling, they will have the opportunity to say a few words to Xu Zhijun.

While we want to keep a low profile and save some people's face, we also need to find a defensible reason to keep the 27 billion in funds.

After thinking about these key points, Li Mo pondered in his mind, if you officials don’t use your brains on this matter, how can you find a solution on your own?

"Director Mei, since someone has given you something to say, let's give it some face. But there are some things that you can't earn face with just a few words. If you gain something, you have to give it. You have to pay attention to how you treat me. Okay everyone."

Director Mei's eyes were full of meaning and he smiled and said: "Professor Li is right. Since it is a negotiation, if one party suffers a loss in this place, it must make up for it in another place."

“Director Mei, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t say that. There was someone on site who testified for me.”

Director Yu cleared his throat at this time and said, "But that huge sum of money is difficult to handle."

"You only know that the Xu family in the United States is going to be acquired, but what you don't know is that this acquisition war is promoted by me. It's up to them to transfer the 27 billion funds out. As long as it goes to the United States, it's just right If it is swallowed up in one gulp, the money will eventually come back after wandering around outside.”

Director Mei and Director Yu were secretly alarmed. The Xu family in the United States was not very strong, but they could not withstand acquisitions from others. This showed that it was not just one force that took action. It would make sense if Li Mo was involved.

“Professor Li, we already understand the matter. If we still need to communicate with you, we will contact you in time. Otherwise, it means that things are progressing smoothly.”

Li Mo shook hands with them one by one, and Qin Fen and Fang Wenjing sent them out. A few minutes later, Fang Wenjing walked into the conference room with her own thermos cup and said with a smile: "Your status is not low in the minds of the people above. Even this matter has to be sent over in person to communicate with you to avoid misunderstandings."

“This is called a fight between gods and immortals, and mortals suffer. I have made a lot of sacrifices, so they must give me some compensation.”

"Haha, I just came back to my senses. The metaphor you just used is still very appropriate. Director Qin has made great contributions this time. There were rumors last year that he was going to be promoted. Now there is basically no problem. . Let’s let him treat us together in the evening. When my belly gets bigger, I probably won’t have the chance to go out to eat outside.”

“Okay, in case he gets too busy and doesn’t even have time to treat guests, call your husband.”

Qin Fen opened the door and walked in with a smile: "As long as you want to eat tonight, just order it. Don't be polite to me. I will be in a hurry with anyone who is polite."

"Then I'm going to give you a good meal. I'll order two big dishes first, fish head with double pepper and spicy sausage. You can do whatever you want with the rest. I'm not picky about food."

Fang Wenjing pursed her lips and smiled: "I thought you really wanted to order two big dishes."

 Qin Fen looked at the time, waved to Li Mo and said, "It's almost time. Why don't we go and take a seat first?"

 “I’m fine, let’s go.”

  . . . . . .

It was already past nine o'clock when he returned to Gu Yunxuan in the evening. He walked lightly into the living room. Sirui hadn't rested yet and was lazily sitting on the sofa reading some information.

 “The children are all asleep?”

"Well, I've only slept for half an hour. Have you drank? I'll pour you a glass of pure milk."

“Sister Fang is here, it’s hard for us to drink. Besides, with my drinking capacity, how can I walk so steadily after drinking?”

Qin Sirui poured him a glass of pure milk, then sat next to him and asked softly: "My uncle called me in the evening and asked if you were at home. I wanted to ask him if there was something urgent, but he didn't answer directly. He just chatted with me for a few words and then hung up the phone. At their level, there is important meaning behind every phone call. Why don't you call him back tomorrow."

Li Mo drank the pure milk in one gulp, took out his mobile phone and said, "Uncle will definitely be waiting for my call now, I will call him right now."

Qin Weiguo was sitting in the study reading documents. Qin Sijun was sitting opposite, drinking tea and remaining silent.

 After a while, Mr. Qin knocked on the door and walked in. He sat on an empty chair nearby, and the three generations began to drink tea.

“Dad, why haven’t you rested yet?”

"I don't sleep much as I get older, and Xiao Mo didn't call me either. I thought you were waiting for his call, so I came over to take a look. Weiguo, this is a good opportunity. If you can get the upper hand, you will still be there in the future. There is a chance to occupy the highest position. Shi Weimin only needs to wait now. When the time comes, he will directly take the position. When the time comes, he will also be your strongest support."

“Grandpa, what do you think the chances are this time?” Qin Sijun asked.

"So we are waiting for Xiao Mo's call. Although you are indifferent, he will definitely seize the opportunity. Several old guys have revealed to me that two people went to talk to him in the afternoon. We Just wait and see.”

The three generations of the Qin family drank tea in silence for a few more minutes. When Qin Weiguo was about to make another pot of tea, the mobile phone on the desk suddenly rang. He put down the teapot and picked up the phone to answer the call and turned on the speakerphone.

“Uncle, have you rested yet?” Li Mo’s voice came from the phone.

 “I just soaked my feet and am getting ready to go to bed.”

Qin Weiguo said calmly without changing his expression.

“As long as it doesn’t disturb your rest, if you don’t have anything special to do these days, just go to and from get off work normally and stay at your place. If there is any disturbance outside, don’t ask about it and just do your own thing.”

Qin Weiguo glanced at Mr. Qin and smiled when he saw him nodding: "You have been busy, and we haven't had dinner together for a long time. When I go to Kyoto one day, you must have a drink with me."

“That’s necessary. Although most of the century-old antique wines are temporarily stored in the Wine Culture Museum, we still have a lot of them at home, so you can drink them to your satisfaction. Uncle, then I won’t disturb you and go to bed early.”

"OK."

Qin Weiguo hung up the phone, looked at the old man and asked: "Dad, as you guessed, that guy Xiao Mo really seized the opportunity." Mr. Qin's face showed a thoughtful look, and after a while he said: "You can do it right now Pack your luggage and rush back to Jinling tonight. Do your own thing well these days and stay indifferent to the gossip from the outside world. Hey, Xiao Mo reminded us in time. We can't let others take advantage of us. , saying that you came to Kyoto specially for a visit."

Qin Weiguo was slightly stunned, and quickly stood up and said: "I'm leaving now. I will definitely be able to go to work normally tomorrow morning."

“Dad, do I need to leave?”

"No, Chu Li is pregnant. What else can you do if you take leave to come back and visit your wife?"

Li Mo’s phone call put the Qin family at ease.

In the next few days, Li Mo also commuted from nine to five. Of course, he went to Beijing University to kill time. When he got there, he went to the cafeteria to eat, and he chatted with students who admired him. Time passed quickly.

On May 22nd, Li Mo officially became an academician after walking out of the Great Hall, and was unanimously recognized by everyone.

The poet was quite lively, and the laughter in the study never stopped.

“Xiao Mo, this status is very dazzling and noble, but it is also a huge pressure. It spurs you to make continuous progress and shine for the country.”

"Grandpa, I know, so I will rest for another month and prepare to go out to sea in late June to start marine archeology. I will do the preparatory work first. After all, I am not proficient in many technical aspects of marine archeology, and I need to visit more expert."

Grandma peeled an apple and handed it to him with a smile: "You have almost found all the treasures on land, why do you want to conduct marine archeology?"

"Since Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean in the Ming Dynasty, many maritime trade merchant ships have been clearly recorded. There are several pieces of information indicating that the merchant ships encountered accidents and sank to the bottom of the sea, indicating a general sea area, all concentrated in the South China Sea. More than ten years ago, the country as the main body spent hundreds of millions to salvage the sunken Nanhai No. 1 ship, which set a precedent for marine archeology in my country and is of great significance."

“Xiao Mo, marine archeology is still quite dangerous. You must be fully prepared.”

“Grandma, don’t worry, I will retire soon, and I will take you and grandpa to travel around.”

Grandma suddenly laughed happily: "Where can we go with these old bones? We can just stay in Kyoto. But since you invited me to the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, your grandpa and I, regardless of our mental state, , my eating, drinking, and sleeping have obviously improved, and I will most likely live a few more years to spend more time with you."

“Grandma, it’s not easy for you and grandpa to live a long life.”

"We will be old monsters by then." Shi Lao also laughed and said, "Okay, old lady, can you go to the kitchen and see if Xiao Mo's favorite dishes are ready?"

 “Okay, let’s talk first.”

Qin Sirui came to the study with a plate of fruit: "Grandpa, Xiao Mo, please have some pre-dinner fruit."

 “Si Rui, when will the filming of your new drama start?”

“The preliminary preparation work is almost complete. Construction can start immediately as soon as all the funds for the crew are in place. Our own film and television company invested in it, so the preparation work is relatively complete.”

 Shilao looked at Sirui and said, "There is nothing wrong with doing what you like, but you must also take into account your family and children."

“Grandpa, I understand that my plays are basically arranged during the day. After work, I can go home early to spend time with my children.”

Shi Lao nodded. With Li Mo's financial resources, dozens of generations may not be able to spend it all on eating, drinking, and having fun. Now everyone around him is doing what he likes and loves the most, and he still refuses to lie down in his mind. flat.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Mo took a piece of information and drove to the Archaeological Center of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. There was the Third Institute of Marine Research of the Ministry of Resources there. All the experts gathered there were marine archaeologists. Will his archaeological trip to sea go smoothly? We also need to rely on our seniors for advice.

As soon as the car stopped, I saw a woman in her thirties walking towards me in business attire.

“Hello, Academician Li, I am Director Qin’s secretary. You can just call me Xiao Chen. I am familiar with all the experts here, so I will introduce them to you in detail one by one later.”

 “Hello, Secretary Chen.”

Qin Yali has been promoted to half a level again, and the secretary next to her has a certain aura when she comes out.

“Academician Li, please come here, because the working hours of the institute’s experts are a bit different from ours. The working hours here are more flexible, so there may be a large number of experts who have not arrived yet.”

Li Mo doesn't have much idea about this. When archaeological experts are busy, they work overtime every day until midnight, especially for marine archaeological projects, which take at least half a month to go to sea. Those with good physical fitness can still bear it, but experts with slightly weaker bodies will suffer the worst.

“Secretary Chen, why are you free today?”

Before the two of them entered the hall, they heard someone calling him from behind. Li Mo turned around and saw an old man in his sixties riding a bicycle into the institute's compound. He quickly put the bicycle in place, then picked up a thermos bottle from the front basket and walked toward them with an old briefcase under his arm.

“Director Zhou, who do you think is here today?”

Zhou Peiming pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked at the young man beside her carefully: "Oh, it's Professor Li, no, no, it should be Academician Li. Academician Li, I'm glad to meet you."

Li Mo was held by his warm hand and said with a smile: "Director Zhou, I am just a junior in front of you. Don't keep calling me Academician Li. I am so stressed. Just call me Li Mo."

 “This is so inappropriate.”

“Why is it inappropriate, unless you don’t want me to come to the institute and sit down, drink tea and chat together.”

“Okay, then I’ll call you Li Mo. Let’s go to my office to talk about something.”

“Dean Zhou, I came to the Three Treasures Hall this time to ask you and other marine archeology experts for some advice.”

Zhou Peiming's mind was spinning quickly, and he asked a little surprised: "Do you have any clues about the sunken treasure ship?"

“Director Zhou, how did you guess that?”

"Hahaha, is there any need to guess? If you hadn't discovered a clue to a certain ocean shipwreck, why would you have wasted your time coming here to ask for advice? First, tell me, what shocking clues did you get during this archaeological trip to the sea?"
