Seeing her grandfather's hesitation, Liu Meilan said slowly, "Grandpa, I'm not sure. If we hand it over, we won't get any benefit. There is also a big problem that can't be solved. I might be monitored in the future."

"If we don't pay, I can sail with my second brother and we can get the treasure back, but what happens after we get it back? The source of the money cannot be explained, and this is a huge thunder that can drag the family into the abyss."

"After thinking it over, I think my second brother's suggestion is very good. Only by setting up an underwater salvage company can we get these treasures out of the way and make a profit."

I dare not take them out in my entire life. These things are useless and can only be hidden away.

If one treasure is like this, what about two, or three?

Judging from Heizi's intelligence, he will probably be able to find a lot of shipwrecks and treasures on the seabed in the future.

Mr. Liu thought about it carefully, and then said: "You are right. Compared with being envied by others, it is more terrible to not be able to explain the source of money. As for ocean salvage companies, they used to be public. It seems that there are no private ones in the country."

"Also, since you fished it out on the high seas, it's considered private property. But I read in the newspapers before that a country salvaged another country's shipwreck on the high seas, and then the two countries started a lawsuit over the ownership of the treasure."

"You said those utensils are Western characteristics. Unless these gold and silver utensils are melted down and used as metal, but that would be a pity. After all, these may be Western relics, and they are worth a lot more than they actually are."

Liu Meilan was stunned. "But those countries have taken so much from our country and haven't returned it to us. We just fished it out of the sea, how can they steal it?"

Old Master Liu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's why they are called the great powers! Now everything is centered on economic development, attracting foreign investment and technology, and everything else has to give way. Even if we file a lawsuit, we may not win."

"Especially for international cases like this. They don't file lawsuits in China, but in foreign countries. Those people will do anything to get what they want, let alone just judging a case."

Liu Meilan thought about it and felt that what her grandfather said made sense. "If it doesn't work privately, I'll feel a little unwilling if I hand it over!"

"I'm actually not optimistic about the entertainment company that my second brother is running now! The entertainment industry is actually very chaotic at this stage, and there are no regulations. Pornography, gambling, and drugs may all be involved. Even if my second brother doesn't do it, he may not be unable to control the artists under him."

"After much thought, compared to the underwater treasure salvage, the entertainment company is actually more dangerous and more troublesome. Grandpa, do you think this is okay? Let's set up a company with the local government's subordinate units and hold shares according to the investment ratio. My second brother will be responsible for the operation, and the government unit will be responsible for dividends, as well as opening up interest relations and external litigation."

Mr. Liu stroked his beard and said, "Actually, I think so too! With the investment of the local State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the gold and silver salvaged can be directly connected with banks to turn these things into money."

"When facing some external pressure, an efficient government organization is much tougher than a private company. When those foreign powers asked us to hand over the salvaged items from the seabed, we private individuals could not ask Huawei to take away our things, but the government could!"

After careful discussion, the grandfather and grandson felt that doing so could both secure their interests and keep their name clean.

So Liu Meilan called Liu Yiwen.

At this time, Liu Yiwen was drinking with some partners and was quite surprised to receive a call from his sister.

"Meilan, why aren't you sleeping so late at night? Is there something wrong?"

Liu Meilan has always been quiet and would never call unless there is something important.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "There is an opportunity to make a fortune. You can put off work and come to the island tomorrow morning!"

When Liu Yiwen heard about getting rich, he immediately perked up. He burped out of excitement and felt a little dizzy from the smell of alcohol.

It’s really not easy to get into the entertainment industry. Everyone seems glamorous, but when you get to know them inside, you’ll find that most of them are actually gray and black areas.

But now he has invested so much, if he doesn't continue, he will lose more.

Now his sister wanted to show him a way out, and Liu Yiwen quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow morning!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Drink less! The entertainment industry is not easy, so don't do it! I heard that this industry is a bit chaotic. For a family like ours, stability is the most important thing."

"If you are involved in something, it will only affect you, after all, you are not in politics or the military, but it will affect your second and third brothers and father, so you should be more cautious and come over earlier so that we can discuss a more reliable way to make money."

Liu Yiwen's back, which was originally a little bent, straightened instantly after hearing his sister's words, "Okay!"

After answering the phone, Liu Yiwen returned to the table and politely said hello to everyone, "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first!"

A bald man smoked a cigarette and asked with a smile: "Are your family members here to check on you?"

Liu Yiwen nodded, "Yes!"

"Women should be taught a lesson! They can't be spoiled, otherwise they will become lawless!" After saying this, the bald boss slapped the butt of his female companion in a rather obscene manner, "We haven't finalized our cooperation yet, keep drinking."

If Liu Yiwen had not received the call from his sister Liu Meilan, perhaps he would have drunk it for the sake of the money.

But now his sister wants to show him a clear way to make money steadily. Why should he deal with these people who wander in the gray and dark areas?

"I really have something to do. Bye." Liu Yiwen smiled, tidied his clothes and prepared to leave.

The smile on the bald boss's face faded, "If Mr. Liu walks out of this door, our cooperation may not be successful! Other entertainment companies are also vying to cooperate with us."

Because this bald boss owns a lot of places, many people go there to drink and dance.

Naturally, people who can sing and dance are also needed, so many people from entertainment companies are willing to send their stars to sing and dance.

Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "That's a pity!"

After saying that, Liu Yiwen left without looking back.

Now that he has his sister Meilan to help him make money, he doesn't want to get involved with these scumbags.

These people originally came from poor backgrounds, but after they became successful, they are more willing to bully the weak, as if this can show how powerful they are.

Seeing Liu Yiwen leave, the bald boss's eyes turned gloomy.

"Brother, do you want to teach that brat Liu Yiwen a lesson?" the younger brother beside him asked hurriedly.

The bald boss waved his hand, "No need, Master Liu is a real master, not one of those people out there who are just pretending to be a big shot!"

"But since you're in the entertainment industry and want to make money, you have to follow our rules! If you don't accept it, then there's no need for our venue to accept artists from his company."

The younger brother quickly agreed, "Then let's wait for him to come and beg us again!"

"Yes!" The bald boss agreed, and he was absolutely confident in his sphere of influence.

He particularly enjoyed the feeling of being flattered and begged by others, and this time was no exception.

If Liu Yiwen doesn't drink and doesn't give in, don't even think about making money from his place.

After Liu Yiwen went out, he felt even more uncomfortable in his stomach. He found a trash can and vomited out all the wine in his stomach.

This money is so damn hard to earn!

It was already very late tonight, and Liu Yiwen did not go home to rest, but returned to the house outside.

The next morning, I took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and took a boat directly back to the island.

When I got home, Liu Meilan was eating breakfast.

"Second brother, you come so early?" Liu Meilan was surprised.

Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "If you are not active in making money, there is something wrong with your brain! If you had told me a good way to make money, I would have rushed over overnight if it weren't for the sea!"

Liu Meilan laughed and said, "That makes sense! I'll tell you after we finish eating!"

Zhang Xiufang came in with a bowl, "Yiwen, have you eaten?"

Liu Yiwen shook his head, "Not yet!"

Zhang Xiufang placed the bowl directly in front of him and said, "I'll give it to you after it's steamed. I'll go get some rice."

In fact, this is all we made in the morning. If Liu Yiwen was added, Zhang Xiufang would have nothing to eat.

However, there were still ingredients in the kitchen, so he added some water to the pot, put in some seafood, and the fried dough sticks and fried cakes that Grandpa Liu had just bought, and it was enough to eat.

After dinner, Xu Chongyang followed Wang Nuannuan to school. Zhang Xiufang cleaned up the dishes and cleaned up, then went to the next room to feed the ornamental fish and take care of the hygiene there.

Now there are only three people left in the family, the grandfather and the grandson. Liu Yiwen couldn't wait to ask, "Meilan, what are the ways to make money?"

Liu Meilan glanced at Liu Yiwen and saw bloodshot eyes. "Is it hard to do business in the entertainment industry?"

Liu Yiwen sighed when he heard this. "Although the money comes quickly, after getting deeper into it, I found that it is not far from pornography, gambling and drugs! I have reservations and cannot act recklessly. This money is really hard to make."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I told you before that this business is not easy to do! Instead of doing this business, you might as well open a factory or buy land to build houses and sell them!"

Liu Yiwen shrugged when he heard this. "I don't have enough money to start a business or get land now! I'm counting on you to show me a way to make money!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I found your treasure again. It's on the high seas! This is a turtle I rescued that led me to find it. This turtle is very smart and has already found two treasures."

"I think this turtle will tell me about new underwater treasures in the future. After discussing with my grandfather, I think we can establish an underwater salvage company with the support of the Shenzhen State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. You will be responsible for the operation and provide a share of the assets. Do you think this is okay?"

Hearing the call, Liu Yiwen stood up excitedly, "This is great! I told you to do this before, but you still thought it was not okay."

"The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) became a shareholder. I took a portion of the natural gold and was responsible for the operation of treasure hunting, accounting for 70%. The SASAC took 30% and we jointly invested in purchasing a second-hand large ship."

"If there is nothing suitable, we can buy retired civilian warships. As long as we have the coordinates and the seabed is not too deep, we can find a way to retrieve it."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes! The treasure we found this time is on the island. As long as we drive the boat over there, we can get the treasure. Making money is just like robbing money!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiwen became even more excited, "Meilan, I will give you another 70% of my 20% shares!"

Hearing this, Liu Meilan waved her hand and said, "No need, I can make a lot of money fishing!"

Liu Yiwen quickly shook his head, "No, you provided the treasure coordinates, this is what you deserve. If you don't want it, I can hold it for you, and then I will give you dividends every year."

Liu Meilan wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Mr. Liu. "Meilan, brothers and sisters should settle accounts clearly. You can help your second brother once, but you are not obligated to help him all the time. You should get rewards for your efforts. This is fair."

"Yes, Meilan, that's what I mean." Liu Yiwen echoed his grandfather's words, "Although we have a good relationship, we have to be clear about the accounts. We can't fall out over money. That would be a loss."

Since Liu Yiwen was so reasonable, Liu Meilan nodded and said, "Okay, then let's sign the proxy holding contract."

Liu Yiwen rubbed his hands together, very excited. "Since that's what you said, I'll go and use my connections now. I'll try to get this done legally and in compliance with regulations."

"Okay." Liu Meilan nodded. "Second brother, what about your entertainment company now? Do you need to transfer it to someone else?"

Liu Yiwen felt very upset when he heard this. "I have invested a lot but have not received any income yet. I feel like I have lost money. I should have waited a little longer so that half of my money would not be wasted."

"I originally wanted to transfer the company directly to someone else, but I think this is not reliable, in case someone else uses my name and continues to do evil things outside. Even if it is not done by me, because the name of the company and everything else are established by me, it may also affect me."

"After much thought, I think I should cancel this company and say goodbye to the entertainment industry without leaving any trace. The house can be sublet and the things can be sold. The only thing that is a bit troublesome is the few actors who signed the contract."

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Second brother, try to give them some severance pay. If these people have no income, they may go astray."

Liu Yiwen nodded, "Of course."

After discussing with his sister, Liu Yiwen rushed back as soon as possible.

A meeting was held that day, and it was decided to dissolve the entertainment company. He personally distributed severance pay to everyone.

"The company is having trouble running its business and can no longer continue. I'm sorry I can't lead you all to great success."

Everyone was very sad at first, but when they saw that the severance pay was quite a bit, they felt much better.

"Mr. Liu, you said yesterday that business was going well. Why is it having trouble today?" A singer with great potential couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Liu Yiwen sighed when he heard this, "Actually, I can't accept pornography, gambling, drugs, or the gray and black areas. With the way the entertainment industry is run now, I can't move forward."

"Although we haven't worked together for a long time and are about to go our separate ways, I still want to give you some advice. Even if you work in this circle, you must stick to the bottom line and never degenerate."

Seeing that Liu Yiwen was speaking sincerely, everyone knew that this was the truth.

Compared with other entertainment companies, Mr. Liu never lets his female singers drink with guests or do any messy things.

They are willing to work for such a company even if it makes less money.

I just didn’t expect that such a good company couldn’t survive in the current environment.

Lay off employees and complete various procedures.

The two financial staff also came to resign. After all, the company was gone and they had to find jobs.

"Wait a minute, don't be anxious, we have a profitable business."

"Huh?" The two financial staff members were confused. "Mr. Liu, if we lay off all the employees, how can we make money?"
