Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Chapter 1146 Speculation

Li Mo smiled, and I will definitely continue to cooperate. But I have seen the corners of your mouth clearly, so it is hard to say whether I will cooperate with you to find the several treasures I have discovered.

 My expectations for their character were not high, but now it seems that I have some foresight.

“Mr. Connor, since the treasure cave in the Taal Lake Mountains has been discovered and you have recovered a large amount of gold, jewelry and antiques, we will go to another possible treasure spot tomorrow to look for clues.”

 Connor saw that he did not react excessively to the matter of dividing the gold treasure, and thought that he had accepted the outcome of the matter. If that's the case, it's up to him to arrange the rest of the trip. Anyway, he has already received the promise from above and has really benefited from it.

　　The first battle was fruitful, and they are still looking forward to this cooperation.

“Mr. Li, you can make your own arrangements for tomorrow’s itinerary.”

Li Mo nodded and said with a hint of regret: "When I was in China, I often heard people say that there are mountains in the lake and lakes in the mountains. I wanted to take a look at the spectacular scenery a few days ago. I didn’t expect such a big riot to break out there. Now the scenic spot has been closed, and I don’t know when it will be open to the public again.”

"The specific situation is to be determined. I estimate that it will not open until new investors are in place. This will also prevent those workers from rioting again and harming tourists from all over the world."

Li Mo's eyes widened a bit and he said in confusion: "Didn't you already steal all the assets of the previous investors? Wouldn't it be enough to repay the money stolen from the houses to those workers?"

Connor looked a little embarrassed and said: "We are no better than China. Our family wealth is really too thin, and the little funds are far from making up for the gap. So now that the money is gone, there is no way to make up for those workers."

Li Mo was stunned for a long time and had a clearer understanding of their methods, which were extremely shameless.

"Mr. Connor, the Taal Lake Scenic Area is very famous in our country. If it is closed, it will probably have a great impact on your tourism industry. Moreover, the riots this time have already spread. I think it is difficult to have big investors." I am willing to take over the mess here. Although I am a treasure hunter, I am also a businessman, but I know very well the consequences. Once the reputation of some scenic spots is ruined, it will only bring about a vicious circle. Although we are only a cooperative relationship, I think you’re a pretty good person and candid enough, so I’d like to remind you not to lose the big for the small.”

Li Mo's words are very pertinent, and Connor also knows that improper handling of this matter may bring serious consequences.

"Mr. Li, I have already reported the suggestions you gave me to the higher authorities. If the higher authorities can agree, perhaps it will only take a week or two for the Taal Lake Scenic Area to be opened to the public."

"The advice I gave you before?" Li Mo thought for a moment before recalling it and smiled, "I just said it casually. We climbed that mountain a few days ago. Not to mention anything else, all the mountain roads needed to be cleared that day. , it will cost a huge amount of money to form a one-way up and down mountain trail. Coupled with other developments, I estimate that in addition to the large investment, it will also last a long time. If it takes several years to complete the project, even if you authorize investors When operating a scenic spot, it takes a long time to recover the capital and make a profit. Investors are not fools, they have professional teams behind them to calculate."

 Zhitou ordered some more snacks.

“Mr. Connor, these snacks are not bad, you should try them too.”

　Connor picked up a piece and took a bite, not knowing what he was thinking about. Although he has never participated in investment, the Li Mo in front of him is not an ordinary person. He built a Yandu City by himself, which is known as the world's city of museums and art.

And he also launched a Buddhist pilgrimage project, where Buddhist believers from all over the world go there every year to worship the finger bone relics of Buddha Sakyamuni.

 When it comes to investment, who can be more convincing than him.

“Mr. Li, you are an investment expert. Can you give me some advice?”

"What kind of investment expert am I?" Li Mo smiled, picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, then asked, "Mr. Connor, based on your plan, how long will it take to complete the development of the second phase of the Taal Lake project?"

Connor thought for a while and said: "I have read the information in this regard. According to the plan, it will be completed in three to four years and then open to the public."

Li Mo curled his lips and said: "Is that a big project? Although I have not participated in any investment projects in China, I can see it. The largest Buddhist pilgrimage project, compared with the second phase development project of Taal Lake The scale is more than three times larger, but it only took more than a year to complete. It is expected that this small work of yours will take three to four years to complete. Are you going to leave it to future generations to collect the benefits?"

 Connor felt very unhappy. When it comes to infrastructure, which country in the world can compare with China.

"I don't have any good advice for you, but I think if you want to find a big investor to take over the mess there, you must first have strong funds. The speed of everything is based on funds. Second, workers must not stop Look locally, they are all native-born, and if something unhappy or unhappy happens, they might gather together to cause trouble. Which investor can you say can bear that kind of loss?"

"Mr. Connor, think about it for yourself. However, if you can handle this matter well, it may be a great achievement, and your promotion is just around the corner. You eat slowly, I want to go back to the room to rest first , prepare to leave for another place tomorrow."

Li Mo stood up and left, leaving Connor sitting there alone and deep in thought. Li Mo's every sentence actually touched on the key point. The development cycle of that mess was too long, and local workers would also cause trouble. Now the news of worker riots is also discussed internationally. The key is that although the government has obtained a lot of money, it will never cough up another penny.

 So even if an investor takes over, the first thing that must be paid out is the salary arrears, which is not small. Anyone who sees this situation will retreat.

But what Li Mo said before leaving made him feel excited. Who doesn't want to get promoted and make a fortune? He also wanted to. As long as he can find a way to handle the aftermath of the workers' riot in the Taal Lake Scenic Area, his promotion will indeed be just around the corner.

 This matter must be carefully considered to see if there is the best breakthrough.

It was already around eight o'clock the next morning when Li Mo woke up. The weather outside was gray and threatening to rain. The weather was so hot and muggy that when I walked out of the room and walked around the corridor, I was sweating all over, making me sticky and uncomfortable.

“Mr. Li, the weather forecast says there will be moderate to heavy rain today, which may not be suitable for travel. Do you think we should proceed as planned?”

Chatou brought Li Mo breakfast, including bread, eggs, steak, spaghetti, and pure milk.

 “Sit down and eat together.”

"I've already eaten." Zhu Tou sat on the sofa nearby and poured him a glass of pure milk before continuing, "Yesterday, all the 620 antiques from China were transported to the ship. Mr. Li , the data they reported is definitely untrue, I really regret reminding them."

Li Mo said while eating steak: "This is on someone else's territory, and we didn't personally participate in it, so we don't know how much gold, jewelry and antiques they got back. It's just our own guess. Okay. , don’t mention this matter again.”

Before he finished his breakfast, someone knocked on the door. He glanced over and said back, "It's Connor."

 “Invite him in.”

Chatou opened the door and saw Connor walking in with a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Li, I didn't disturb you for breakfast, right?"

“I’ve just finished eating, please sit down, Mr. Connor.” Zhu Tou cleared away the breakfast tray and made a cup of green tea for each of them.

 “Did Mr. Connor ask when to set off?”

“That’s not the case.” Connor paused and then said, “Mr. Li, are you interested in the Taal Lake development project?”

"Me?" Li Mo refused directly, "My business is all in China, which is easy to control. As for foreign business, I have never been interested, let alone the second phase of the Taal Lake project is a big mess."

Just when Connor was extremely embarrassed, Li Mo changed the topic and said with a smile: "But your idea is right. In terms of infrastructure construction speed, our engineering team in China is definitely the best in the world. For that small project, China's engineering team is definitely the best in the world." If there are investors interested, it is estimated that it will be completed in more than a year, which will greatly shorten the investment return cycle. Hmm... Thinking about it this way, there may be investors in the country who are interested in this project. After all, Lu Songdao’s annual tourism economy is quite high.”

 Conner cheered up a bit.

"If the conditions for your official cooperation can be relaxed, you can try to find interested investors in China to negotiate. However, I personally think it will be difficult, but it is still a method that can be tried."

 “That’s what Mr. Li said.”

 Connor had a direction in his mind. He considered going to bed very late last night and thinking about it. If Li Mo could help them connect the bridge, it would be much easier to handle the matter. That's why he took the initiative to test him again. Although Li Mo himself rejected the possibility of cooperation, there are many big investors in China. As long as the policies and cooperation conditions are relaxed, it may not be impossible to find suitable investors.

"Mr. Connor, although the weather outside is not good, I still go to the next possible treasure hiding place according to the plan. Judging from the treasures that have been found in the Taal Lake Mountains, the gold treasure hidden by Yamashita Fengwen did exist. , and they are buried in hidden places in various places, which is also a good start for us to find clues."

 Connor stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go back to the room and get ready before setting off."

The treasures buried in the Taal Lake Mountains have been found and successfully captured. This is a perfect start, and they only paid for 620 Chinese antiques.

So Connor would have no objection to Li Mo's other arrangements, even if they didn't find the second place, it didn't matter, because their gains were already huge.

 The most important thing at the moment is to handle the development of the Taal Lake Mountains as soon as possible.

 The convoy left the hotel and headed northwest of Luzon Island. The coastline there is opposite to the South China Sea. At that time, Li Mo showed great force and collided with eleven fishing boats of the other side. Although it is not clear how the official government dealt with it to appease the fishermen, this time Li Mo came and was not afraid. He is not afraid of them coming to trouble him at all.

The heavy rain started falling outside, and thunder rumbled in the sky. Li Mo, who was sitting in the car, thought of the barren mountain outside Manila. He didn't know if there was a thunderstorm at this time.

If it rains too, there will definitely be a spectacular scene of thunder and lightning connecting heaven and earth.

 After two hours of journey, the convoy finally approached a fishing village. This is a place where treasure may be buried, but exactly where it is is unclear.

Li Mo got out of the car and looked at a fishing village in front of him. After some thought, he decided not to go in. Connor was in a good mood. He came to Li Mo and said: "According to the clues passed down, Yamashita Fengwen once found a coral bush somewhere near the coast, then buried gold in it, and finally sealed it with cement. above, making it difficult for outsiders to find.”

Li Mo looked at the waves hitting the shore, thought for a moment and asked: "If the sea water recedes, there should be coral clusters exposed. The previous International Precious Metals Company failed to find useful clues here?"

“No, not only not here, the nearly 130 places they provided that may contain treasures have been excavated one by one, but no treasures have been found. Maybe the record of gold buried in this coral bush is wrong.”

Li Mo shook his head: "The International Precious Metals Company did not find any clues before the treasure was hidden in the Taal Lake Mountains, but in fact it does exist and has been discovered long ago. If it weren't for the hundreds of workers asking for wages this time, If there is no riot, you may not have the chance to catch the investors, let alone take back the treasures. Therefore, if the International Precious Metals Company has not found clues, it does not necessarily mean that it does not exist."

 Connor nodded, agreeing with Li Mo's judgment.

A group of people walked to the coast, where Li Mo could see four ships from China parked on the sea in the distance, with every two ships about one kilometer apart. This is close to a big city on Luzon Island. If anything happens to Li Mo, that big city will definitely receive the wrath of the four ships.

“Mr. Li, the coastline is so long, how do you plan to find it?”

 Connor looked at the endless coastline, and his head suddenly felt painful. The work of accompanying people would be exhausting.

Li Mo looked at it for a while and then suddenly asked: "Mr. Connor, if you were Yamashita Fengwen and wanted to find a suitable place to bury a treasure somewhere along the coast, what would you choose?"

 Connor did not answer immediately, but looked thoughtful, and finally gave up and said: "I can't imagine it, but Mr. Li is a master of treasure hunting. You must have some great ideas?"

"I can't talk about Gao Jian, I just have some ideas." Li Mo said eloquently, "If I were to bury the treasure, the first place I would choose is to hide it. Take a look at this coastal line, which places can be considered Is it hidden? Obviously, even if the tide goes out, the place where the treasure is hidden is inaccessible."

Connor was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of realization. This statement made so much sense. Why didn't he think of this?

“The second thing is that the place where the treasure is hidden is hidden from ordinary people, but it is also the least hidden.”

Connor was confused again. What does this mean?

“Hidden means that it is difficult for others to reach, and non-hidden means that the place is actually the easiest to identify, so that people who find the treasure in the future can easily find the place where the treasure is buried. This sounds a bit confusing, but it’s okay if you think about it carefully.”

Connor thought about it for a while before nodding his head in agreement with Li Mo's conjecture.

“So, Mr. Connor, look at the coastline again. Which places do you think are consistent with the situation just mentioned?”

 After Li Mo’s guidance, Connor finally had a clearer direction when he looked at the coastline from a distance.

"There are hidden reefs under the cliffs. Those places are both very hidden and easy to identify." Connor's brows moved slightly. "Could it be that the coral bushes mentioned in the clues left behind may not actually be coral bushes, but are just used for To divert everyone’s attention and mislead everyone?”

"Haha, haven't you already excavated nearly 130 suspected treasure hiding places? Haven't you found nothing? It means that the clues left behind are problematic. There are 140 recorded treasure hiding places. But one hundred and thirty places are just a cover, used to cover people's eyes and ears." Li Mo sneered, "So the clues about the treasure hidden along the coast may be just a cover, making everyone tired of running around. But is it true? Five to five, now that we are here, we still have to look for relevant clues with the mentality of hiding treasures."
