Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

"Thank you for your blessing." Liang En was still a little happy about what Mr. Scood said about how to arrange his life, so he smiled and raised his glass to signal and took a sip of champagne from it.

Just when he put down his glass and was about to say something, he unexpectedly saw Pierce walking in from the door.

"Please wait a moment, I'm going to say hello to my friend." After seeing Pierce, Liang En immediately said hello to Mr. Scold, and then went to the door to bring Pierce over.

Pierce was invited this time mainly because the Emerald Thrift Store itself was a partner this time. This was because Liang En didn't have enough money after discovering the minerals, and he was a little too alone. Reasons brought them in.

Although Emerald Thrift Store was at best a small partner in this massive collaboration, it still got the invitation.

After getting the invitation, Pierce immediately called Liang En and informed him that because the invitation was for the Emerald Thrift Store, Liang En, as a shareholder, could naturally come in.

However, after Liang En learned which press conference he was attending, he simply informed Pierce that he had also been invited, so they would meet at the London venue when the time came.

"I didn't expect you could actually design jewelry." Pierce patted Liang En on the shoulder, clinked the wine glass in his hand with him and said, "Don't tell me you learned this from watching videos in college. of."

Because they majored in archeology, they naturally learned a lot about ancient cultural relics. For example, there was a time when they squatted in the dormitory together to complete their homework and watched a lot of videos related to jewelry and jewelry design.

So after learning that Liang En was a jewelry designer, Pierce immediately thought of the experience of watching documentaries about jewelry designers when they were in college.

"I think it might have something to do with this." Liang En smiled, then changed the subject and asked. "By the way, I remember you were supposed to come here at the beginning, why are you almost an hour late all of a sudden?"

"This is mainly because I received an invitation from the Discovery Channel, so I wasted a little time." After hearing Liang En's question, Pierce immediately reacted and took out a letter from his arms.

"This is a specially sent invitation letter from the other party, saying that they are going to make a documentary about the missing ships in the Northern Sea Route. The specific circumstances are in this letter."

After hearing what Pierce said, Liang En immediately walked to a corner of the hall with him, and then opened the letter.

Sure enough, this is an invitation letter, inviting the Emerald Thrift Store to send people to explore the Arctic Circle in northern Canada to search for the missing HMS Erebus and HMS Terror and the crew members on board.

"The prerequisite for this kind of search is a ship, and it is a ship capable of underwater exploration and salvage." After reading the contents of the letter, Liang En frowned.

Because among all search efforts, underwater search is the most costly and difficult one.

Especially since Liang En didn't own a boat at all, and he couldn't spare much cash in a short period of time to rent a boat, so it was almost impossible to search for those sunken ships.

Therefore, Liang En is now more inclined to decline this invitation. After all, the program production team will not pay for it, so without a boat, they are destined to not gain much from this exploration.

However, it is indeed a pity to give up like this. After all, after the expedition team disappeared that year, the Admiralty offered a reward of up to 20,000 pounds to find the missing expedition team.

You must know that 20,000 pounds in that era is completely different from 20,000 pounds in modern times. Considering that a middle-class person at that time only needed 300 pounds a year to support a family, this amount of money was definitely not a small amount of money.

This money still exists, and after a long period of operation, it has reached as high as 2.6 million pounds after tax. In addition, the Franklin family, the leader of the expedition at the time, also offered a reward of 700,000 pounds after tax to the person who found and brought back Franklin's bones.

In other words, if you really find the target, you can indeed get a lot of money, not to mention the various honors that come with it, but the prerequisite is an elite expedition team and a large amount of corresponding equipment.

"Sorry to interrupt." Just when Liang En was about to tell Pierce to give up on this matter, Mr. Scord, who came over out of curiosity, heard something and said to the side, "I think I heard you Did you say you received an invitation to explore?”

"Yes, that's right." Liang En shrugged and said, "Unfortunately, there are a large number of underwater ruins in this expedition. Exploring requires a professional team and a boat, so a small organization like us can only give up."

"This problem is easy to solve." After hearing what Liang En said, Scood immediately became excited. "Do you remember the boat we took to the Sinai Peninsula last time? My boat can be used for this expedition."

For Scold, who was widowed in his early years but whose children are very happy, his only hobby now is to go out for adventure, so when he talks about adventure, he is naturally in a state of excitement.

Not to mention that unlike when he returned empty-handed every time he went on adventures in the past, these few times he and Liang En went on adventures, each time they got a lot of benefits.

Although as the former head of a family whose main business is shipping, Mr. Scord is not particularly concerned about the gains in wealth, but he is very concerned about whether he can make discoveries through his exploration work.

This is just like when people talk about hobbies and you say you like fishing. Like fishing is a very normal hobby, but it will be more miserable if you are in the Air Force every time you go fishing.

At least when the group of rich people gathered in the past, Mr. Scold would always become the laughing stock of those rich people of the same level as himself.

Fortunately, these several expeditions allowed Mr. Scord to save his face and made him the center of attention at those gatherings. Therefore, after hearing that Liang En and the others were about to explore, he immediately asked if he wanted help.

"Our target this time is in the Arctic Circle in northern Canada. Although winter has not passed, there will be a lot of ice floes and even icebergs at the target location, so ordinary ships may-" Liang En said to Scold seriously said Mr.

Although Scood's boat is called an expedition yacht, there are still differences in exploration in different places, so Liang En felt that it would be more appropriate for him to ask clearly in this regard.

"You mean the waters within the Canadian Arctic Circle? That's a suitable place for my ship." After hearing what Liang En said, Mr. Scold became even more excited.

"My yacht actually turned out to be an ocean-going icebreaker used to break ice and open up waterways in the Arctic Circle. When I bought it and renovated it, it was specially strengthened in this aspect."

"So let alone sailing within the Arctic Circle in autumn, my ship can even conduct various expeditions within the Arctic Circle in winter."

"In addition, I bought an underwater robot specifically for treasure hunting that can be used in harsh conditions. The maximum water depth can even dive to 5,000 meters, so it is fully qualified for this kind of underwater exploration work."
