Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

In addition to discussing the deciphering of secret words at the Nelson family gathering, several people finally discussed the matter of dividing money.

Under normal circumstances, the owner of this thing should get half of the wealth, and the other half of the wealth should be divided equally among those who discovered it.

However, considering that everyone is considered wealthy financially, and because everyone attaches great importance to the identity of Golden Dawn members, everyone chose to divide the money according to Golden Dawn's internal rules.

Anyway, the law only draws a bottom line in this regard, so how Liang En and the others divide the income is their own internal business. As long as they can negotiate well, there will be no problem.

Different from the legal approach that puts land rights first, the mutual aid association will pay more attention to everyone's contribution in solving the problem. Therefore, after a simple calculation, Liang En received half of the bonus, which is 6.5 million pounds.

This money is very important to Liang En. Although with the development of various industries and the hot sales of those books, his annual income is between 70 and 80 million pounds, and there is also the possibility of further increase, but he has the flexibility in his hands. There wasn’t much cash.

After all, both mining and various treasure hunting tasks require money, especially the initial investment in the mine is like a gold-swallowing monster. No matter how much money you have, it will be consumed.

Thanks to Liang En's previous summoning of Elizabeth Bathory, with the help of this female noble, he finally persisted in this situation and finally survived the most difficult moment.

But even so, the extra millions of pounds will suddenly make Liang En a lot more comfortable in capital turnover, at least the funds required for the implementation of the next plan will be much easier.

Because it was already very late that night after everyone finished chatting, they simply stayed in the guest room. As soon as they entered the room, Liang En dialed Elizabeth Bathory's phone to inform her of the news.

After all, almost all of Liang En's wealth is now controlled by Elizabeth, so it is necessary to notify her when there are changes in property.

"My lord, the money from you came very timely." After knowing that such an income was about to be recorded, Elizabeth looked very excited.

"If this is the case, our salvage plan in the waters around Florida should be able to proceed relatively smoothly. After all, Florida's asking price this time is indeed very high."

In another world, the United States and Florida once regretted their actions when salvaging the Lady Atoka. Although the court later ruled in favor of the discoverer Fisher family, this incident still made Liang En improve. Be alert.

So during the negotiation, Liang En and his party simply made it clear what was going on and asked the other party to sign a detailed licensing contract.

The Fisher family actually had problems at this place that year. I don’t know whether it was due to financial reasons or because it was not possible to find a legal practitioner. The two parties left a lot of ambiguities when signing the contract, so that happened later. dispute.

One thing about the laws of Europe and the United States, especially the common law system, is very good: what has been decided is not easy to overturn. It cannot be overturned by a simple administrative order. Even if you want to manipulate the law, it will seriously damage the country's credibility. ,

Although Liang En didn't have much confidence in the moral bottom line of the United States, after weighing the pros and cons, he also understood that a big country like the United States would not destroy its own country's credibility with hundreds of millions of dollars.

Yes, a few hundred million dollars may be an astronomical sum for an individual or even a group, but for a large country it is far from worth destroying its own national credibility.

The U.S. and Florida governments also realized the purpose behind Liang En's attitude in applying for a permit, so they naturally set out a lot of conditions.

Judging from the current conditions, the other party has made a series of trivial requirements, such as requiring that the salvaged items can belong to Liang En, but the salvaged items cannot leave the United States without permission.

The only exceptions are metal ingots that are regarded as raw materials or unprocessed or only rough-processed gemstones. These items are considered to have little humanistic value and are therefore allowed to be taken out of the country.

Liang En can auction all other items, but only at an auction house that is specified in a batch of agreements in the United States and recognized by both parties.

There are many similar clauses, but the exchange is that Liang En can own 100% of the ownership of those fished out, and does not need to divide 25% like the Fisher family in history.

The key point in the current negotiation between the two parties is how much Liang En's party needs to pay the Florida federal government to obtain this permit. This number is directly related to the cost of salvage.

In another world, the Fisher family is not required to pay these additional funds, so there will be so many lawsuits in the future, and 1/4 of the treasure must be divided.

So from a certain point of view, free things are the most expensive things, because these free things will one day pay the price in one way or another, or even several times the price.

However, because there was no full effort to obtain a portion of the salvaged items, the federal and state governments naturally had high demands for money at the beginning, and even offered a sky-high price of US$6 million a year.

However, Elizabeth used the negotiation basis that salvage work was a very risky matter, and has now successfully reduced the annual payment to US$4 million.

"If there are no accidents, we can reduce the cost to about 3.5 million US dollars. If it goes below that, the time cost invested will be completely worthless compared with what we get." Elizabeth finally reported.

"I trust your judgment, so everything is up to you." Liang En was very satisfied with Elizabeth Bathory's work report, and said that she could handle the rest of the matter by herself, and there was no need to report it.

Elizabeth was very happy about Liang En's trust. At least from the tone of her final farewell, it could be heard that her good mood could last for several days this time.

"It seems that it is very troublesome to carry out salvage work within the territorial waters of the country." After Liang En hung up the phone, Joan of Arc asked, "Then why don't we carry out salvage work on the high seas?"

"High seas? It's actually more troublesome." Liang En smiled and said to Joan, "Because according to the law, sunken objects within a country's territorial waters belong to that country. This is undisputed."

"The ownership of sunken items salvaged on the high seas is a very complicated matter, which is related to a series of circumstances such as the nationality of the ship, the nature of the ship, the source of the cargo on the ship, etc."

"In other words, it is indeed a very troublesome thing for us to salvage sunken ships in U.S. territorial waters and negotiate with the Americans. But if it is on the high seas, we may have to negotiate with a group of people, and each negotiation will be better than This one is simpler.”

"Oh, that's it. I thought sunken ships on the high seas could be salvaged at will." After listening to Liang En's explanation, Jeanne showed a clear expression. "Now I can only hope that everything goes well with Elizabeth."
