“Little Luo, please sell the authentic Memorials of Dispatch to the Shanghai Museum. We promise to offer you a good price!”
“Little Luo, it’s me, Elder Long. Sell one of your Han Dynasty jade columns to us, won’t you? After all, you already have four,” Dragon Jianfei joined in.
Luo Feng stayed silent, waiting for everyone to finish speaking.
But their chatter went on for more than ten minutes.
“Apologies, everyone, but as I have mentioned before, I already have a museum. Therefore, I will not sell any of these items!” Luo Feng declared. “If you want to see these artifacts, you can visit my Great Wall Museum!” “And you can also rent them for a fee!”
“As for the treasure maps, there’s no need to discuss about this matter. After
all, these are maps that have been around for more than a thousand years. Who knows if the writing on them can still be preserved? Even I don’t know!”
“Moreover, the locations from a thousand years ago are completely different from those today. Some ancient place names might not be the same as they are now! ”
“Take Ghost Blowing the Lamp and Grave Robber’s Notes as examples. Even if there is a treasure map, it doesn’t guarantee that the treasure can be found quickly or even found at all!”
Luo Feng spoke up, hoping to dissuade the businessmen and gamblers.
Why be a gambler?
If anyone should gamble, it should be Luo Feng himself.
“Dammit!”
Hearing Luo Feng’s words, many people sighed in disappointment.
It seemed that Luo Feng had no intention of selling.
“Mr. Luo, would you be interested in partnering with our Odyssey Company?” someone asked.
“What kind of partnership? And what benefits do I get?” Luo Feng inquired.
“Well, Mr. Luo, you should know that our Odyssey has always been involved in maritime treasure hunting, searching for sunken ships. However, upon seeing your income from Zhao Gao’s tomb, dinosaur relics, and so on, our boss is envious and wants to establish a land -based treasure-hunting division of Odyssey. In this case, you and our boss would each hold shares in the new division!”
As for offering a salary, the Odyssey Company knew that Luo Feng probably would not be interested in more money.
“What can you provide me?” Luo Feng asked.
“Of course, we can offer you advanced exploration equipment and top-notch talent for your command!”
“Those benefits you’re offering are useless to me! I can find treasures on my own!” Luo Feng shook his head. “As you can see, I don’t need any advanced equipment or experts to assist me in finding treasures!”
He had thought that Odyssey would offer some incredible conditions.
Had they not heard of a different kind of bribe called ‘sex’?
He wanted to challenge his own weaknesses!
Moreover, if he could find treasures by himself, why partner with someone and share the profits?
Only a fool would do that.
“I was thinking that, with your expertise, Mr. Luo, we could quickly establish a land-based treasure-hunting division!”
Luo Feng shook his head, “I’m sorry, but I have no interest in public companies.”
After Luo Feng’s refusal, it was clear that the other party had nothing more to say.
Although they were foreigners, the people from Odyssey Company seemed reliable.
They were unlike the folks from New York or the Louvre, whom always offered so-called irresistible prices that turned out to be paltry offerings.
“Alright, Mr. Luo, there’s a saying: business may fail, but goodwill remains! I hope we meet on the open seas!” Jack laughed and shook hands with Luo Feng.
“I’m looking forward to it as well!” Luo Feng nodded.
After excusing himself, Luo Feng found Gu Santong at the base of the altar and said, “Master Gu, I’ll take the Memorials of Dispatch with me. You and your archaeological team can take your time examining everything here.”
“No problem! Go ahead, and don’t worry about us!” Gu Santong replied.
Luo Feng bid farewell, taking the treasure map and the authentic Outlines of
Military Strategy with him- He called his heliconter nilot and allickly left the scene.
That night, he arrived in Shanghai and saw his Great Wall Museum already standing tall in the city center. What a magnificent building it was, already completed and showcasing the upright ancient human skeletons and dinosaur fossils in two separate sections.
Unfortunately, the Tyrannosaurus rex fossil was still being excavated due to its immense value.
“Business seems good, there are quite a lot of people!” Luo Feng observed briefly before turning his attention elsewhere.
The following day, at a luxury hotel in Shanghai, Luo Feng invited experts like
Wang Yousheng to examine his Memorials of Dispatch. Officials from the
Bureau of Cultural Relics also arrived to appraise and grade the document.
Once everything was set up, a tall glass cabinet, more than a meter high, was brought into the hotel. The glass cabinet had lights inside, showcasing the authentic Outlines of Military Strategy from over a thousand years ago.
Luo Feng did not pay attention to the appraisers and experts. Instead, he went to a hotel room where he had access to the advanced tools brought by the Bureau of Cultural Relics. It was here that Luo Feng decided to open the two treasure maps.
After all, without using advanced archaeological tools, Luo Feng worried that casually flipping through them might damage the fragile maps..
