rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 458 Everyone is here

It makes sense~ If Chen Li is allowed to look for clues and treasure by himself.

Then Chen Li will definitely not do it!

Hunting for treasures sounds exciting, especially the mystery and excitement shown in some treasure-hunting movies and TV shows, which can definitely make everyone's adrenaline burst.

However, that kind of feeling is the selling point of this type of film and television works, so the other party naturally has to work hard to create such an atmosphere.

But treasure hunting in reality is different from what is shown in film and television works.

In the vast majority of so-called treasure hunts, almost 99% of the time is actually preparation and useless work.

Look for clues, confirm clues, prepare manpower, material resources, financial resources, and even need to go through various procedures and approvals, etc.

Sometimes we even have to consider the national conditions of the place where the clues lead, the surrounding environment, safety factors, etc.

But~ it doesn’t mean that you will find treasures if you do these things well.

It is very possible that because of a clue, I spent a year or even several years, expending countless manpower, material and financial resources, but in the end nothing was found.

This kind of thing is simply too normal!

Like in movies and TV shows, even if you can't find something, you will be left with some clues pointing you to a new place. This situation almost does not exist in reality.

In reality, if you don't find it, you haven't found it, and no mysterious person will come out to remind you and let you determine the next target point.

Therefore, real clues are actually the most critical thing in finding treasures in reality.

As long as he has definite clues, Chen Li can even set up a professional treasure hunting company to take charge of this business.

However, the system required Chen Li to hand over the treasure he found to the system, which made Chen Li a little depressed.

Just once or twice is enough. If a professional treasure hunting company were to set up a company, sooner or later the treasure turned over by Chen Li would be revealed.

After all, if those treasures were to be found, it would be difficult for the news to not be leaked.

Unless the people in this treasure hunting company are all bionic people hired by Chen Li from the system.

But the price of hiring androids from the system is too expensive.

Chen Li's current mall currency system has almost been filled up by his early consumption behavior. If he wants to make another "transaction", he will have to wait until his mall currency income increases.

So regarding the task of finding the lost treasure, Chen Li planned to figure it out slowly.

Anyway, this is a long-term task with no time limit, and it can be completed at any time.

But this time, the clues Chen Li got were exceptions!

There is no other reason~ Because when Chen Li saw the picture provided by this clue for the first time, a few familiar feelings flashed through his mind.

Chen Li was sure that he had definitely seen the treasure pointed to by this clue in his previous life.

It is even very possible that this treasure should have been discovered in previous lives, but Chen Li didn't think of it for a while.

However, after Chen Li spent 10,000 mall currency to exchange the detailed information of this treasure 035, the memory in his mind became more and more familiar.

Chen Li became more and more certain that he had indeed seen this treasure treasure No. 035 in his previous life.

Hmm~ This "seen" certainly does not mean that Chen Li has really seen this treasure with his own eyes. Chen Li in his previous life has never been to Munich, so it is naturally impossible for him to have seen this treasure with his own eyes.

In fact, there are not many people who have actually seen this treasure with their own eyes in their previous lives.

Because this thing was immediately confiscated by the German government after it was discovered, and it took a long time for it to be reported by the media.

Moreover, before this treasure was confiscated, it was not that it had no owner, but the owner was not the real owner of the treasure.

If we really want to talk about this in detail, we have to start from World War II.

If we simplify things a bit, it's basically an old man who collected and kept some of the wealth plundered by the Japanese government, and then hid it in a high-end apartment in Munich.

This old man is usually a bit lonely. He lives alone in that apartment and doesn't seem to have many relatives or friends.

Then one time, when this old man was riding a train, he was suspected by the police because he was carrying a large amount of cash with him.

As a result, the police went to investigate. In the end, although they found that the other party had not broken the law, the police paid attention to the old man.

Then the police began to investigate this guy, and found out that this old man was living like an invisible man.

There is almost no record of him, whether in Munich or elsewhere.

A subsequent customs and tax investigation of Cornelius revealed that he had no state pension, health insurance, tax, employment records, or bank accounts, indicating that he had never worked and that he was not even listed in the Munich address book.

Name, he is an "invisible man".

But this guy actually owns a million-dollar apartment in Munich, which is one of the best neighborhoods in Munich.

This is very unscientific!

So the investigation continued, and this time the police focused their attention on the old guy's apartment.

After all, this person doesn't even have a job, so what has he been relying on to support himself all these years?

This guy can even live in the most exclusive community apartment in Munich? This is obviously abnormal.

Because this guy had visited an art gallery before, and because of his last name, the police gradually discovered some clues.

Subsequently, the police issued a search warrant for the apartment where the old man named Cornelius Gurlitt lived on suspicion of tax evasion.

Then the truth comes out!

In that apartment, which is about 100 square meters, there are actually 1,280 oil paintings, including some masterpieces by well-known artists.

And these oil paintings are the wealth that Germany plundered from other countries.

It is said that the Japanese looted approximately 650,000 works of art from various European countries, and these oil paintings were just the tip of the iceberg.

Of course~ Chen Li actually doesn’t remember this thing that clearly.

It's just that after these works of art were discovered in their previous life, the German government transported these famous paintings to a warehouse at the German Customs about 10 miles north of Munich for storage, and did not disclose their existence to the outside world.

Later, someone revealed the matter to a famous weekly, and the existence of these ** treasures was finally exposed.

This time is almost a year or two later.

In the end, the matter was exposed, and although the general prosecutor of Augburg, Germany, who was responsible for investigating the matter, held a press conference, some things were already difficult to undo.

As a result, Germany's international image is facing a huge crisis, and some people are even trying to sue the German government.

Anyway, this incident was a big deal at the time, and even Chen Li, who was in China at the time, had seen some related reports on the Internet.

Of course~ Compared with how Germany handled this matter, Chen Li's focus at the time was naturally not here.

What he focuses on is actually what most ordinary people are concerned about, and that is.

The value of these plundered treasures was as high as one billion euros.

Even at that time, due to the appreciation of the Chinese currency and the depreciation of the euro, the exchange ratio between the two parties dropped to more than eight yuan.

But with more than eight billion Chinese coins, it was difficult for Chen Li, who had no system or rebirth advantage in his previous life, to imagine how he could have so much wealth.

Calculated from Chen Li’s annual income in the most glorious year of his working career in his previous life, Chen Li’s highest annual income was only over 300,000 yuan.

But even if Chen Li's annual income was generously increased to 400,000, it would still take Chen Li 20,000 years to earn 8 billion without eating, drinking or spending money.

Although this algorithm is meaningless, it can tell Chen Li directly how valuable this treasure worth more than eight billion Chinese coins is.

And this is only one apartment that was discovered, so does he have other apartments or places where he hides treasures?

After so many years, how many treasures has this guy sold?

Although it was not mentioned in the news reports in his previous life, many forums on the Internet were discussing this matter during that time, and Chen Li was one of them.

Anyway, Chen Li believed the latter.

After all, you can't put your eggs in one basket. Chen Li didn't believe that the old guy didn't understand.

When this treasure was discovered in the previous life, various types of novels about treasure hunting, treasure appraisal, leak detection, etc. were very popular in China in those few years.

Chen Li has also read a lot of works of this type, and sometimes imagines himself becoming the protagonist in the book.

Okay~ At that time, Chen Li was just thinking wildly.

But Chen Li himself didn't expect that one day he would actually experience rebirth and possess a system like the protagonists in the book.

It's just that compared to the protagonists in those works, Chen Li is really weak.

He has been reborn for more than seven years, and now he even needs to worry about funds. This is somewhat embarrassing to the protagonists who are reborn and have systems.

So Chen Li decided to give it a try. After all, Xiaomeng had reminded him~ Lucas had an apartment that happened to be near the old guy. If Chen Li didn't give it a try, he would be a bit too salty.

So on the morning before Chen Li left Germany, Chen Li, under the guidance of Lucas's assistant Bars, visited several of Lucas' apartments.

Chen Li did not specifically ask to see the apartment on Maple Leaf Street first, so after visiting the other three apartments, Chen Li went to No. 126 Maple Leaf Street under the guidance of Bals.

“It’s so quiet here!”

After arriving at the destination, Chen Li sighed.

The environment here is actually relatively average. Although it is known as one of the best communities in Munich, it is actually an old community.

The earliest housing construction here can even be traced back to before World War II.

However, in Europe, this situation is very common, and whether a community is good or not is not just judged based on the age of the house.

Others, including geographical location, surrounding transportation, safety and other facilities, and even the class of people living here, are the criteria for measuring whether a community is good or bad.

According to some information that Chen Li remembered from his previous life, the old man owned an apartment here with an area of ​​about 100 square meters, but the value of this apartment was said to be over one million US dollars.

In other words, when this place was discovered in the previous life, the house price here had almost reached 10,000 US dollars per square meter.

Although Chen Li doesn't remember it clearly, he vaguely remembers that it should have happened around 10 to 13 years.

In fact, housing prices in Germany have always been relatively well controlled, which proves that this place is worthy of being one of the best communities in Munich.

“The environment here is actually pretty good.”

"However, if Mr. Chen you want to use it to deal with work matters, this is not a suitable place."

"Most of the people living here are elderly people. If you choose to live here, it may be a little inconvenient."

As an assistant, Bars gave very pertinent opinions.

Indeed, as he said, Chen Li looked around and saw that most of the people he could see were old people. Although there were also young people, there were generally fewer of them.

Therefore, if Chen Li's purpose is really to find a place to stay and make it easier to travel between China and Germany in the future, then this place is actually not suitable.

In particular, the reason given by Chen Li was to facilitate his future development in Germany, and the work might involve entertainment or other issues.

If Chen Li lived here, he might get into some trouble in the future.

After all, Chen Li is from China, and many Chinese habits are different from those of Germans.

If nothing else, let’s just say that if Chen Li really lived here, he would probably cause the neighbors to call the police just by cooking.

This is not just a casual comment. Chen Li also knew many people who had gone abroad in his previous life.

Almost every one of them has encountered similar troubles, that is, dietary problems.

After staying abroad for a long time, who doesn’t want to have a bite of food from home?

It’s okay if you don’t know how to cook, but for those who can cook, wouldn’t it be a good thing to cook a meal of hometown food once in a while?

But the problem arises here. The most common cooking method among Chinese people is stir-frying!

But if you do stir-fry abroad, you might get into a lot of trouble.

In Chen Li's previous life, a friend made a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds abroad, and then the smoke alarm went off. But because the friend had just arrived overseas, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Finally, the fire brigade came.

.

Foreign fire brigades are not free, and the fees are extremely expensive.

For a dish of spicy and sour potato shreds, Chen Li's friend finally paid 800 euros, which is equivalent to more than 6,000 yuan in Chinese currency.

A dish of hot and sour potato shreds cost more than 6,000 yuan. Even the top restaurants in China probably would not dare to sell it at such a high price.

And the most important thing is that this kind of similar operation is not an exception.

Especially some international students who can cook often encounter similar problems.

In addition, there are many elderly people living here. Some elderly people are indeed more amiable, but sometimes, the elderly also mean trouble.

So. No matter how you put it, purely from the perspective of Chen Li's demands, this is definitely not a good choice.

It’s just that Chen Li’s purpose is not what he said, so.

"You're all here~ Let's go up and take a look!"

Chen Li looked at the building with vague memories in front of him and said to Bars.

"Okay~ As you wish!"

Seeing Chen Li insisting, Bars took out the key from his briefcase and nodded!
