Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 641 Unexpected Push

"Finally, I have finished attending the banquet. If I attend a few more, I will definitely collapse." At the last buffet reception planned this time, Liang En raised his wine glass and complained to Joan of Arc.

Different from the previous ones, this party was not held in a private mansion, but in the banquet hall of a hotel. People from all walks of life were invited, except for nobles and rich people, there were also Some stars and artists.

This kind of banquet is much better than the banquet in the noble mansion, because the banquet in the noble mansion often follows some ancient habits.

To give the simplest example, the nobles have their own fixed recipes during many important holidays, which is why Liang En and the others eat weird things like black pudding and haggis.

These strange things appeared at a nobleman's banquet, and they were also a feature of their family's banquet, even if no one ate them, they had to be served.

"You're right, I can't wait to start a new trip." After hearing Liang En's complaint, Joan replied in the same low voice, "To be honest, I feel that this environment makes me feel suffocated."

Although Joan of Arc used to be the Marshal of France, she also had the name of a saint, and she treated people no less than those nobles, but in her bones she still thought that she was just a lucky ordinary person, so naturally she didn't like these things now.

Fortunately, Liang En also found someone he knew at such a gathering: a member of the Golden Dawn who was a professor of museum studies at the University of Glasgow, so chatting with a few people did not seem boring.

At the same time, this party was an open party, so people kept coming in and out, and when Liang En was chatting happily with the professor in front of him, a somewhat unexpected acquaintance appeared beside them.

This acquaintance was Mr. Scudder. As a shipping tycoon, it was not a strange thing for him to receive such an invitation. After looking around the hall, the other party quickly found Liang En who was chatting with him.

Before that, he and Liang En had made an appointment to go to the Russian Siberian wasteland to dig mammoth ivory together in the summer of the past year, but they released each other's pigeons.

The reason why Liang En didn't go was because he had a very important job at hand and couldn't get away.And Mr. Scudder was purely unlucky:

He originally planned to travel to Siberia in the summer, but he had a small car accident in his manor less than three days before he made all the preparations and planned to take Liang En to set off together.

The car accident was purely caused by his absent-mindedness while driving, so that when he got out of the car, he didn't step on his foot properly and sprained his foot.

This may only be a small injury for a young man, but for an old man like him, the injury was indeed a bit serious, and even caused a fracture in his ankle, and he had to rest in a wheelchair for several months.

As a result, he will naturally not be able to travel to Siberia in the summer.Even now I have to use crutches to avoid any problems with my newly recovered legs.

Of course, this minor injury naturally did not affect Mr. Scold's love for exploration work. He asked about Liang En's new expedition plan as soon as he saw Liang En.

"I have a sea expedition ready to go here. In theory, there will be a wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars waiting for me at the bottom of the sea." After saying sorry to the professor, Liang En and the others went to the corner with Scudder He talked about his plans.

After all, Mr. Scold has a lot of wealth, and the previous cooperation and Liang En's intelligence network have fully proved that the other party is a reliable person, so he will reveal this now.

"Salvage at sea sounds like a very good thing, can this kind of thing bring me?" After hearing Liang En say that he was going to salvage at sea soon, Scudder showed an excited expression.

On the one hand, it is indeed a very interesting thing to salvage the wealth at the bottom of the sea, and on the other hand, judging from the legs and feet that have not fully recovered, this kind of salvage work is obviously more suitable for him than the long-distance trek on land.

"I don't mind participating in this search, but the problem is which location is within the territorial waters of the United States, and only licensed ships can salvage it, and we have already applied to salvage the ship before." Liang En replied with some helplessness.

"It's okay, I'm not the kind of person who can't endure hardships. As long as you allow me to board the boat." Scudder waved his hand after hearing what Liang En said, and continued.

"I've been at sea all my life, and I know the rules here. If I remember correctly, the other party will only limit your ship and the equipment on it, and will not limit the number of people on it."

"Well, you're right." Liang En said with a smile. "Hopefully everything will go well for us. If there are no accidents, we may go to the United States to start salvage work within a month."

It is not a big problem for Liang En to agree to Mr. Scudder's participation in exploration activities. After all, his participation in such activities is purely to satisfy his own spiritual needs and will not cause any disputes.

"No problem, but what is the main problem that you can't start work now?" After listening to Liang En, Mr. Scudder nodded and said, "Is it a problem with the equipment, or—"

"The main issue is the approval issue. Our overall intention negotiations have ended, but now there are still some disputes about the number of our personnel and equipment. The US side hopes to go through these things one by one, and has been digging details with us."

"This is easy to solve, please let me handle it." Skold said with a slight smile after hearing Liang En's words, "I am not as good as you in finding all kinds of treasures, but you are definitely not as good as me in solving this kind of problem."

"Then thank you." Liang En thanked him from the bottom of his heart, because he knew that everything else was fine on his side, but his interpersonal relationship was far inferior to some established families.

It is also normal for this situation to occur. After all, it takes a long time for interpersonal relationships to be gradually established, and it may even take several generations to accumulate.

And Liang En's development is too fast, basically he can be regarded as an upstart, so those things that take time to accumulate are naturally not as good as the old rich family like the Scold family.

Even the arrival of Joan of Arc did not change all this. After all, even when she was the Marshal of France, her handling of this aspect was very average. Otherwise, she would not have fought alone with the King of France and died at the end.

Elizabeth Bathory is really good at handling this kind of work, but sometimes without enough time to accumulate it, no matter how strong she is in this field, it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

So at this time, the relationship network has become a very valuable thing. For example, Mr. Scold only needs to make a few phone calls now to solve the problem that Liang En and the others have been tossing for a long time.

Liang En received a call from Elizabeth that night. According to what was said on the phone, they had made great achievements in the negotiation. If there were no problems, the contract would be signed a week later, and then the salvage work could begin.
