Hong Kong variety show: Building a century-old family, starting with Hung Hing
Chapter 139 Base Gold, at least tons?
On the other side, as soon as Jiang Tiansheng stepped out of the bar, a woman followed him.
"Sir, do you need service?"
A very beautiful European and American girl walked up to Jiang Tiansheng and asked him warmly.
Upon seeing her, Jiang Tiansheng's heart skipped a beat; it was indeed her.
The reason he left the bar just now was because he saw her, Suvia.
A beautiful female pickpocket, and also a descendant of an earl.
"Of course, is a thousand US dollars enough?"
As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he deliberately took out a thousand US dollars and placed it in front of the other party.
"Of course it's enough."
Suvia's eyes immediately lit up.
Just now, while she was at the bar, she overheard Jiang Tiansheng and his group talking.
Although she wasn't entirely certain, she knew that Jiang Tiansheng was a wealthy man.
So Suvia set his sights on Jiang Tiansheng.
Once he left the bar, she deliberately followed him to carry out her plan.
"I know there's a hotel nearby..."
Before Suvia could finish speaking, Jiang Tiansheng interrupted, saying, "I've already booked a room at the Carlton Hotel."
As they were talking, a car stopped in front of Jiang Tiansheng.
The person driving was naturally a demon; the car was rented from the hotel, since it's inconvenient to go anywhere without a car.
Suvia knew the Carlton Hotel, of course; it was Barcelona's top hotel.
This hotel was completely unfamiliar to Suvia and not suitable for his escape at all.
However, considering how rich Jiang Tiansheng was, she didn't want to give up.
“Count, we meet again.”
The eagle met the Earl in the castle.
It is said that the eagle and the count met through God's armed forces.
In Western mythology, God's weapons are magical beings; if someone can collect all five pieces of God's weapons, they can change the world.
Of course, this is just a myth.
However, the God Armor did indeed exist, and after several years, Eagle helped the Earl obtain three pieces.
"Flying Eagle, you've finally arrived."
The count breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the eagle.
"What's troubling the Earl so much?" Flying Eagle asked the Earl curiously.
Earl, that's a noble title, a very high status in the West, and he also owns his own castle.
Although we don't know how much wealth the count has, he is definitely not poor.
That's how it is in the West; many wealthy families remain hidden in the shadows, never coming to the surface.
Based on Eagle's understanding of the Earl, if he were willing to publicly announce his assets, he would definitely be on the rich list, instead of being known to only a few people as he is now.
"Flying Eagle, have you heard of the Nazi golden legend?" The count didn't answer directly, but looked at Flying Eagle and asked.
"The Legend of Gold?"
Upon hearing this, Flying Eagle thought for a moment and then said, "I have heard some things. It is said that after the Nazis were defeated, in order to plan for a future resurgence, they transported the gold they had looted in Europe to a certain base for safekeeping."
"To this day, there are still many legends about gold in the South African desert."
According to this legend, the Nazis hid gold in one of their bases in the desert.
“Count, you didn’t call me here for this batch of gold, did you?” Flying Eagle looked at the Count, then shook his head and said, “If it’s gold, forget it. I’m not taking this mission.”
Are you kidding me? For decades, countless people have flocked to the desert in search of gold.
Especially two or three decades ago, that was the craziest time.
It's no exaggeration to say that the desert at that time was almost turned upside down by treasure hunters, but in the end, no one was able to find gold.
Even now, many people are still searching for that lost gold in the desert.
Rumors suggest that the batch of gold weighed over one hundred tons.
Whoever gets this batch of gold, if not incredibly wealthy, will at least be set for three generations.
"As expected of Flying Eagle, you know so many legends." The count smiled and looked at Flying Eagle with admiration, then said, "You're right, I asked you to come here for this batch of gold."
"Count, I'm sorry..."
Upon hearing this, Flying Eagle directly and decisively refused.
He wouldn't waste his time looking for gold in the desert.
So many people couldn't find it back then, how could he?
The eagle is confident, but never blindly confident.
"Don't be so quick to refuse."
The count looked at the eagle and interrupted, "Actually, this is a mission entrusted to me by the United Nations."
As he spoke, the Earl looked at Flying Eagle with a serious expression and said, "Just three months ago, the United Nations searched through the documents left behind by the Nazis, found the whereabouts of this batch of gold, and even found the map."
Upon hearing this, Eagle's eyes lit up. Having a map and not having a map were completely different concepts, but he did not interrupt and let the Earl continue.
"But here's the problem."
The count shook his head slightly as he spoke, saying, "Many countries have asked them to send their own people to search for it, but this batch of gold involves too many countries..."
It can be said that this batch of gold was looted from Europe by the Nazis back then, and now these European countries all want to mine it themselves.
The problem is, everyone wants to go, but who should be given the responsibility?
"Ultimately, the United Nations assigned the task of mining gold to me." The count shrugged slightly.
This demonstrates that the Earl held a significant position and influence within the United Nations.
Most importantly, so many countries agreed to it.
"So, I thought of you."
The count looked at Flying Eagle and said slowly, "If I were to say who could find this batch of gold, I believe it would be none other than you, Flying Eagle."
Another reason for seeking out Flying Eagle is that Flying Eagle is Asian, so he can be considered a third party and has no connection with European countries.
"If that's the case, I'll take the mission."
Flying Eagle nodded and spoke.
He would never go without a map, but it's a different story if he has one.
Although it's still difficult to pinpoint the location, given that it's in the desert, it's relatively easier compared to other places.
“Now, we can talk about revenge,” Flying Eagle said, looking at the Earl.
"2%, how about that?" The Earl looked at the Flying Eagle and said slowly.
"2%?"
Upon hearing this, Flying Eagle's eyes widened immediately.
“That’s right. No matter how much gold is inside, you’ll get 2% of the gold based on the final amount.” The count looked at the eagle and nodded seriously.
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Flying Eagle said impatiently."
Are you kidding me? What does 2% even mean? If there are 100 tons of gold, as rumored, then 2% is 2 tons of gold.
Based on current prices, it's no exaggeration to say that as long as there are no spendthrift heirs, they won't have to worry about money for three generations, or even ten generations.
"Earl, if I may be so bold as to ask, is it true that there are a hundred tons of gold in the base?" Eagle asked the Earl curiously.
"Just a little more."
The count said with a serious expression, "Back then, the Nazis looted thousands of tons of gold in Europe, which were eventually stored in three bases."
This base, though the smallest, definitely contains at least one hundred tons of gold.
Back then, the Nazis dominated all of Europe and plundered countless riches.
This is especially true for gold.
Gold has always been a hard currency, which is why the Nazis looted banks in many European countries.
All the gold inside was looted by the Nazis.
All things considered, there are at least two or three thousand tons of gold.
In order to seek revenge in the future, the Nazis stored this gold in three separate bases.
So far, only one document about the desert base has been released, with a value exceeding 100 million.
As for the remaining two bases, no one knows where they are yet, and it's even possible that they don't exist at all.
After all, decades have passed, and the high-ranking Nazis who were involved back then have long since committed suicide.
As time goes by, many historical truths have been hidden away.
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is Ada." She's a geological expert from the United Nations, and she'll be accompanying you to the desert to help you find the location of the base.
"no problem."
Flying Eagle shrugged and did not refuse.
Because he knew very well that although the United Nations had contacted him, it would never trust him.
We'll definitely need to send someone to follow them.
Otherwise, what if he finds the gold and pockets it all?
"You two have a chat, and you'll set off in three days," the count said, standing aside without speaking.
"Hello, my name is Flying Eagle."
Flying Eagle looked at Ada and reached out his hand.
"My name is Ada."
Ada adjusted her glasses, but instead of shaking hands with Flying Eagle, she said somewhat arrogantly, "Next, I need to formulate a plan, and I hope Mr. Flying Eagle can cooperate with me."
"Me, cooperate with you?"
Upon hearing this, Flying Eagle looked at Ada with an incredulous expression.
Please, even if you're a geology expert, when it comes to treasure hunting, you're not as good as my Flying Eagle.
“Count, if we disagree on the journey, whose opinion should we follow?” Ada ignored Flying Eagle and looked directly at the Count to ask.
"Ladies first, as for whose opinion to follow, you two can decide for yourselves," the count said with a slight shake of his head and a smile.
He said they should decide for themselves, but he mentioned "ladies first" as a condition.
“If we disagree on how to find gold, I hope you will listen to me.” Ada looked at Eagle with a serious expression, then adjusted her glasses and said, “After all, I am a professional geologist.”
"Okay, whatever."
Flying Eagle shrugged slightly, saying indifferently.
Clearly, he understood the Count's implication, after all, Ada's identity represented the United Nations.
"Ok."
Ada nodded, then looked at Flying Eagle and instructed, "Meet me at the library tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. We'll discuss the necessities for entering the desert then..."
After speaking, Ada stepped forward and kissed the count on the cheek, then smiled and took her leave.
From beginning to end, she ignored Flying Eagle.
In her eyes, she couldn't see the eagle; to put it nicely, it was a treasure hunter, but to put it bluntly, it was just a grave robber.
As a geology expert, Ada has the utmost contempt for plunderers like Flying Eagle.
"Okay, looks like I need to get ready too."
With that, Flying Eagle bid farewell to the Earl.
He would never have taken on this mission if it weren't for the reward of at least 2 tons of gold.
Especially Ada, that woman is really annoying.
