54 I’m Rich! I’ve Dug Up Two Big Treasure Chests! (3)
“Yes, we can call and ask, but I don’t think there’s much hope. I’ve already contacted Wang Yousheng, who’s been by his side for a while now. Wang Yousheng informed me that there’s a low likelihood that that kid would invite us to help excavate the scene.”
“Why? We don’t charge much, do we?”
“Maybe he thinks we’re digging too slowly…”
“In that case, we don’t have to be involved. We can offer our supervision instead.”
!!
“Yes, that’s fine.”
These archeologists were simply looking for trouble. Upon obtaining Luo Feng’s phone number, they eagerly called him up.
“Huh? What? Oh, an archeological team?!”
“Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need your services. I already have people digging the scene for me!”
“What? They’re unprofessional? Don’t worry, I’ll just direct them. I’m a professional!”
“Oh? You guys just want to come over to take a look? Alright, do as you please!”
“But you can only guide them and not poach any of the artifacts. After all, I’ve rightfully paid for these goods myself. I have the right to handle these artifacts as I see fit!”
The archaeologist handling the call was at a loss on how to continue the conversation.
It felt as if Luo Feng was completely disdainful towards the archeological team.
“Yes, Mr. Luo, don’t worry. When we arrive on the scene, we will follow your instructions to the letter!”
He had no choice but to say this.
The archaeology team had to be at the scene.
It was an ancient village for God’s sake!
It would do great to broaden their horizons!
“Alright then.”
Luo Feng chuckled as he hung up the phone. Nevertheless, the meaning behind his words was crystal clear. He would allow the team to make their over, but they were not to impose on him.
In this world, archaeology teams held a low status.
After all, there was no official appointment for them.
Typically, individuals would discover historical artifacts on private property and sell them.
Archaeology teams were merely hired muscle to excavate these findings.
It was around noon, and Luo Feng was directing the excavation process when suddenly, a few Toyota cars arrived on the shore of Shuitang Village’s former pond.
It was the archeological team from Jiangnan.
A group of people gathered around the shore and looked out at the large ancient village.
“What a huge ancient village! It’s really spectacular!”
“Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s hurry down and direct the excavation efforts. Let’s try to prevent as much damage as possible!”
As the group chatted amongst themselves, they soon located Luo Feng.
“You’re Mr. Luo, right?”
The leader of the team was called Tong Tianlong. He greeted Luo Feng with a smile.
“Ah? You guys are?”
Luo Feng sized them up and quickly knew their identities.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m the leader of the Jiangnan archeological team, Tong Tianlong.”
As Tong Tianlong spoke, he naturally gave his opinion. “I think it’s better if you don’t dig first. After we help you use modern equipment to survey the area, we’ll help you set up an excavation plan!”
“There’s no need for that. I’ve already used a drone to scan the area. The results are great. I’ve basically captured the outline of the ancient village!”
Tong Tianlong’s face twitched when he heard that.
Does your drone have X-ray eyes or something?
Is one take all it needs?
It can even determine the structure of the entire ancient village?
He is being perfunctory, completely perfunctory. Is he not even going to find a better excuse?
“However, they’re easily damaged. You have to know that ordinary antiques are fine, but once an antique worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions is damaged, the losses will be huge. You’re someone who knows the industry. Once some antiques are missing something, their prices will be greatly reduced.”
Tong Tianlong said in an alluring tone.
“I won’t damage them. Don’t worry about it. As long as it’s a good treasure, I’ll pay close attention to it.”
Luo Feng could tell that they wanted him to pay them to dig.
It would probably cost another few million yuan and a few months of construction time.
They would greatly lengthen the excavation time.
“…”
The corners of Tong Tianlong’s mouth twitched. This person was completely impervious to anything.
And what do you mean by you’ll pay close attention to any good treasure?
How are you going to pay attention to such a huge site?
Do you have real life hacks or something? Do you have some next generation scanning technology? Is this new radar technology capable of detecting valuable treasures?
An excuse, a complete excuse.
...
“Host, what’s going on? I think it’s better to get professionals to help!”
“That’s right! Since they’re so helpful, let them join in!”
“Idiot, it will probably take half a year for these people to finish digging. Will our streamer spend another half a year here?”
“That’s right. They’re usually very good at stalling. They can’t wait for an ancient tomb to give you a year of archeology!”
“It’ll take years to dig them all up.”
“These people are here to brag!”
“I think the host is much more professional than them. He knows the era of everything. The price he mentioned is always roughly equal to the actual prices.”
“Yes, the host’s appraisal ability is the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen!”
Seeing Luo Feng adamantly refusing the professionals’ help, the viewers in the livestream soon began discussing the validity of Luo Feng’s decision.
A small number of people suggested that professionals do it.
Most people still felt that they should end the excavation as soon as possible.
...
A few days had passed since their first encounter, and the archeologists were still on scene, worried Luo Feng would damage the goods.
However, Luo Feng ignored them completely.
Nevertheless, Luo Feng had to commend the villagers’ work. Not only did they have good eyesight, but they were also very careful when handling the digging.
After all, they were being paid good money for their work.
They could not afford to be careless.
In just half a month, they were almost done digging.
The structure of the ancient village was visible to all.
Of course, most of the artifacts unearthed were just minor ones that were priced around the thousand to ten thousand range.
However, Luo Feng still managed to dig out quite a few red dots.
Some of these include a three-legged furnace with soaring ears.
It was said to be during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
If it were not for the fact that the original owner used it to store incense ashes…
