Chapter 352 Tomb Robbery
Chapter 352 Tomb Robbery
Now that we've encountered so-called tomb raiding companies, we can make good use of them and save ourselves a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Ma, we're both in the same boat. We both know what we should and shouldn't say. Why don't you take a look at this blueprint first?"
Boss Ma took the blueprints, opened them, and his eyes lit up immediately. As the biggest beneficiary of the tomb raiding company, with years of experience in tomb raiding, he recognized the significance of the blueprints at a glance. Judging from the date and the people in the signature, it was indeed a map of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. Overjoyed, he stood up and said, "That's right, this is indeed a map of the S Dynasty emperor's mausoleum. After the mausoleum was built, the person who drew this map mysteriously disappeared, and later, the map also disappeared. Mr. Chao, how did you get it?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "This blueprint was passed down in my family. I originally planned to excavate it myself, but considering that we don't have enough manpower and our excavation technology and equipment are not up to par, we can manage small-scale operations, but we dare not act rashly against the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, which is full of traps."
Mr. Ma smiled slightly and said, "We do have the equipment for tomb raiding, and it's the most advanced equipment from abroad. As for technology and experience, our company has several years of experience, and our technology is top-notch. Mr. Chao, since you're here to discuss cooperation, I'd like to know how we'll cooperate."
Chao Bufan said, "You are in charge of mining. I will only send people to supervise. When we dig it up, I will split it 70% and you 30%."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma shook his head and smiled, saying, "Mr. Chao, you are only responsible for supervision, while we have to invest both manpower and resources, and the yield is 70% for you and 30% for us. This kind of deal is too unprofitable."
Chao Bufan deliberately suggested a 30/70 split, knowing he would try to bargain, and smiled slightly, saying, "Mr. Ma, what's your opinion?"
Mr. Ma said, "Let's not even talk about the resources and manpower invested in a mausoleum like the Yellow Emperor's. The excavation itself is extremely difficult. I'm not saying we should split it 60/40, but at the very least, we should split it 50/50. Mr. Chao, if it's a 50/50 split, I might consider having our abacus handle the excavation. After all, nobody does business at a loss."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan feigned deep thought, seemingly hesitating. Boss Ma, not to be outdone, sat back down and leisurely lit a cigarette. After a moment, Chao Bufan appeared to have made up his mind and nodded, saying, "Alright, we'll split it fifty-fifty. When can you begin mining?"
Mr. Ma was overjoyed, but he pretended to be calm and smiled slightly, saying, "That depends on what you think, Mr. Chao. Whenever you say it's okay, it's okay."
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Okay, then get ready. I'll have someone come over tomorrow to discuss the details with you, and then we'll start mining."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma stood up and said, "Alright, no problem, Mr. Chao. I wish us a successful and pleasant cooperation!"
As he spoke, Mr. Ma extended his hand, which Chao Bufan shook, and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
After letting go, Chao Bufan said, "Boss Ma, I'll leave the blueprints with you for now, and I'll tell you the exact location of the tomb tomorrow."
Mr. Ma nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take a look at the layout of this mausoleum first. Mr. Chao, take care!"
As soon as Chao Bufan left, Boss Ma excitedly rubbed his hands together and whispered, "Damn it, just what I wished for has come true. Once we unearth this Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, I'll be rich! Ha, this is fucking awesome!"
Just as Chao Bufan came out of the shell company, Baihe and the others appeared outside. Upon seeing Chao Bufan, they quickly came up to him. Baihe asked, "Young Master, has the matter been resolved?"
Chao Bufan laughed and said, "It's such a trivial matter, how could we not solve it? Baihe, Qianqian, I reckon we're about to make a fortune again."
Tang Qianqian asked, "What does 'extraordinary' mean?"
Chao Bufan laughed and asked, "Do you know what kind of company this is?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and saw the words "HKL Electronics Technology Co., Ltd." standing out prominently. Huang Mengting said, "Isn't it just an electronics company?"
Chao Bufan chuckled again and said, "What kind of bullshit electronics company is this? It's a company that's all talk and no action. Their real purpose is tomb raiding. In other words, this company looks like a legitimate company on the surface, but it's actually a tomb raiding company."
"A tomb raiding company?" Everyone was surprised.
Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Yes, I just happened to get a floor plan and a geographical map of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum from the S Dynasty on the Shenxingzhe ship. My purpose in coming here is to ask them to help us steal the things inside. So, I'm afraid we're about to make a fortune again."
"What? Bufan, you're going to rob a tomb? That's illegal!" Tang Qianqian exclaimed in surprise.
Chao Bufan smiled, then said seriously, "Since it's the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, there must be a lot of burial objects inside. This tomb raiding is something that none of you are allowed to tell anyone except those of us present, understand?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and said "Understood." Then, Li Wei asked, "Bufan, are you really going to do this?"
Chao Bufan said decisively, "Nonsense, why would I come all this way just for fun? Everything valuable inside is ours."
Tang Qianqian frowned and asked, "Bufan, what if the country finds out?"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan laughed and said, "Let's wait until the country finds out!"
Just then, Tang Qianqian's phone rang. After answering the call, she said to Chao Bufan, "Bufan, my dad called and said he has an urgent matter and needs you to come over."
Chao Bufan knew what it was about and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand. Li Wei, should we tell your parents that we're heading back now?"
Li Wei shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just make a phone call back."
Chao Bufan nodded, then looked at his watch and said, "Let's go back now!"
S City, L District.
Although a month has passed since the auction turmoil, the troops deployed from various locations to maintain order only withdrew today. L District, tense for a month, has now returned to its usual bustling state, much to the relief of many, especially those who enjoy night markets. During the strict and orderly period, they spent most of their time indoors, rarely daring to venture out. Now, while the city's security is tight and orderly, the previous tension has dissipated. So, with the troops gone, they've become like lions released from their cages, active again. Many bars, nightclubs, KTVs, and other entertainment venues are thriving.
