The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

South African law stipulates that private landowners not only own the ownership of the surface land, but also own the rights of underground mining and minerals!

Of course, you have to pay taxes to the state for mining. ??? But one thing is clear: if treasure is found on private land, the existing person will have half ownership, except for minerals.

The premise is that the current person has obtained permission from the landowner before exploring...

The regulations are very detailed, similar to those in the United States. The owners of private land have very large powers over their own land.

But the reason for the formation of similar laws in the United States is a bit different. South Africa’s "treasure" article was introduced for one thing: the gold of the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State during the Second Boer War.

The South African cash mine in 1886 eventually led to the explosion of the Boer War, which lasted from November 11, 1899 to May 31, 19o2.

At that time, the Boers were plainly a group of peasants who took up arms, but they hurt the British Empire, which had an absolute advantage: Although the number of Boers was small, there were many countries that looked down on the British and supported them. , And they have gold reserves!

It is said that after the war, at least 2oo tons of gold disappeared in the northwestern region of South Africa. Perhaps it was hidden in the mountainous area over there, and some thought it had been embezzled. Anyway, various speculations are divided.

In several nature reserves in the northwestern region of South Africa, the managers also organized some "treasure hunts" to attract tourists.

Because of this legend, the relevant laws of South Africa simply added one: The treasure found on state-owned land belongs to the individual and the state; private land is now owned by the landowner, but the treasure hunter with the permission of the landowner enjoys half of the ownership.

However, so far this legal provision has not demonstrated its effectiveness even once: apart from the fossils of ape-man, where is the treasure of South Africa?

Minerals are not counted.

When Guan Xingquan asked, "If the situation here is the same as West Germany, what would it be?" Zhang Nan guessed it was gold!

"At the beginning, the Boer country had at least a few hundred tons of gold reserves, but during the explosion of the war, the heavy gold was actually of little use and would drag down the battle, and most of it was hidden.

However, after the end of the war and the signing of the armistice agreement, the original gold reserves of the Boer countries were reduced by a large amount, and many people died on the battlefield. At that time, all the young and middle-aged men of the Boer people participated in the war.

An alarming number of children, women, and old people died in death camps set up by the British, and the whereabouts of some of the gold has become an eternal mystery. "

Speaking of this, Zhang Nan added: "By the way, the British who died in Jiming came up with something, hehe...civilization, **** you-mother-damn!"

Well, even if Zhang Nan doesn't mention this point, Guan Xingquan knows it: even if the descriptions of imperialist wars of aggression and brutality are not found in China's textbooks, many magazines will have several paragraphs.

"Talk to that Kruger?"

"Just tell him that we are showing signs, and he will not do half of the work."

Guan Xingquan frowned: "If he asked Old Hans where we were today, he might guess it."

As he said, he looked to the northeast.

There was a gunshot over there just now, and Lin Ming replied in the intercom that Xiao Charlie had killed the springbok, a distance of 2oo meters!

Well, Lin Ming didn't say that it was shot with the m7oo equipped with a 6x scope under the guidance of him and old Hans.

After aiming for almost half a minute, he almost **** the antelope and let little Charlie hit it.

"I said, Brother Guan, don't you always look at people like that?

In fact, the richer this person is, the more he is afraid of death, and when the money reaches a certain level, many things are ignored.

Dean said that Kruger's worth, if there is gold, a ton of us and half a ton would be great fun for him, and a ton of us and half of us would be pie in the sky.

As long as this person is worth more than 100 million yuan, nothing is more valuable than his own life. "

Zhang Nan is not worried that Kruger disagrees, because he understands the rich's understanding of money: the poor who have no money will kill for a gold ring, but the billionaires will not put themselves in danger for tons of gold. Among.

…

Bring the harvest back to the camp, and hand it over to the black buddies. They will naturally clean it up, and they will have the freshest game to enjoy tonight.

By nine o'clock in the evening, Dean Kitt and Paul Kruger were all back.

"The confession is over, there is no problem at all."

Dean was very relaxed and the trouble was solved. The bodies, vehicles and firearms of the poachers were basically handed over to the police, and there was nothing to do with them.

Kruger once again thanked Zhang Nan for his help, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the hunting of only two small antelopes weighing less than 50 kilograms today: this is simply a sign of the owner of the hunting ground!

If you don't decapitate the elephant or kill the two lions, Kruger will lose face when you say it!

Zhang Nan didn't care, and smiled and said: "Actually, I am generally interested in hunting. Besides, my bodyguards have already enjoyed this trip, and my brother Guan is not interested in hunting.

But Mr. Kruger, I may have discovered a secret in your private land. "

Hunting is not addictive, killing talents is exciting!

This is actually the art of speaking.

But Kruger is more concerned about the last paragraph that Zhang Nan said, "What's the secret?"

"There may be treasures, maybe treasures left over from the Boer War."

Upon hearing this, Kruger and Dean immediately became interested, the former asked: "Where?"

Just after the exit, Kruger himself quickly added: "I'm sorry, I'm impatient. Mr. Allen, if you find war-remaining treasures on my land, you will get half of it. This is South Africa. abided by law.

One thing to add, the minerals are not counted, ha ha...There are still unmined diamond mines in the hunting grounds. "

No written agreement is needed, this verbal is enough.

Dean on one side answered, "I can prove that, and I can be an intermediary, that's half. Even if there are hundreds of tons of gold, it's still half.

Oh! Treasures of war, UU reading www. I grew up listening to this kind of story on udkanshu.com since I was a kid! Damn British guy! "

When Dean finished feeling emotional, Zhang Nan said: "We are friends, aren't we? Since I can tell you, I believe in Mr. Kruger and Dean.

It's near the ancient ruins on the hunting ground. "

Upon hearing this, Kruger said strangely: "A few years ago, some archaeologists dug it two or three meters. It was my friend who asked me to dig it.

Just order iron and stone products, nothing of value. "

Zhang Nan smiled and said, "They are archeologists, and I have two treasure hunters' eyes and a treasure hunter's heart.

But this trip takes a bit of effort, the place is buried. "

Once here, Kruger smiled and said: "Mr. Allen, do what you want! I want a metal detector. My friend’s gold mine has large professional instruments. I want an excavator. There is it, and it’s okay to have explosives, as much as you want."

Okay, Zhang Nan felt that he had forgotten something just now: This is not in Berchtesgaden, where you can make a lot of noise. Any heavy machinery is a trivial matter!

"A 2oo excavator will do."

"Can it be bigger? My smallest excavator is 45o."

Upon hearing Kruger's words, Zhang Nan was really speechless!

"Okay, 45o is the best. It's a mine bucket."

Once here, it was Zhang Nan's turn to add a sentence: "When I didn't say the second half!"

Kruger and Dean reacted two seconds later, and laughed tacitly, "I didn’t think Mr. Allen is also an expert in engineering! Then I’ll call and ask the mine to prepare the excavator for loading and adjustment tonight. Come here, we will do it tomorrow morning."

"I didn't say it in the second half of the sentence": That's because the excavators in the mine don't install a thick mining bucket. Is it that light and thin loading bucket?

Funny you! 8
