Chapter 29: The Explorer(1/2)

Director Henry was almost stunned when he saw that the entire treasure was so large.

He could 100% determine that the treasure in front of him had great historical significance for Western Europe's monetary development process at the end of the Iron Age.

Even a historical story of ancient Rome's war against Gaul thousands of years ago.

The emergence of this treasure in front of us is of great research value.

But Director Henry was resentful of Li Ming's rough excavation work.

After ecstasy, Director Henry eagerly pulled the pickup truck's war. He squatted down and looked at every silver coin on the surface.

When he looked at the highlighted golden neck rings, he exclaimed repeatedly, and then he picked up his phone and took photos crazily;

Li Ming, who was sitting on the sofa eating French fries and drinking beer, was very satisfied with Director Henry's performance. Now the other party's attitude fully demonstrated that his bounty amount would not be low.

After an hour, Director Henry finally came to his senses. After obtaining Li Ming's consent, he reported the news of the ancient Celtic silver coins he had discovered on the phone.

Soon, the yard of the old Dong family became lively!

This small supermarket, which has few passenger flows on weekdays, has welcomed many big names today. In addition to the mayor, there are even some people from the Jersey Heritage Association.

The Heritage Association is responsible for protecting the island's lighthouses, scenic spots and various cultural relics.

When I heard that the treasure was unearthed on the island, I came together to express my special concern!

But after each wave of people came over, they found out that it was Li Ming and the two Asians who discovered the treasure, their faces were a little unnatural.

However, when the professional accounting team estimated that the treasure was worth more than £10 million, the atmosphere between the two sides eased a lot.

Both the museum and the city hall are quite generous in their ownership of this silver coin treasure.

Until 10 o'clock in the evening, the City Hall decided to allocate 4 million pounds to purchase ownership of the treasure in accordance with the current Treasure Law, which even exceeded the price of Li Ming and others.

"The total £4 million, almost more than 36 million soft sister coins."

This huge sum of money from heaven made Lao Dong secretly shocked his tongue.

After Li Ming and the museum initially signed a contract for ownership, Li Ming and Lao Dong were told to go to the city hall the next day to collect the check;

That night, along with the pickup, the silver coin treasure was pulled to the museum overnight and protected by special staff.

In the future, professional archaeological experts will follow up cleaning of the treasure.

Li Ming felt complicated when he watched the first treasure he dug out.

...

There is no airtight wall in this world. The news of the discovery of Celtic treasures on Jersey was spread to the "London" land overnight.

Journalists’ level of engagement is quite efficient;

This kind of news that was destined to cause an international sensation made many reporters rush to Jersey overnight to obtain first-hand material materials.

Early the next morning.

Today is very important!

Old Dong finally didn't wear his iconic floral shirt, and his capable suit made him look particularly energetic.

Li Ming also dressed the same thing, and both of them were so excited that they couldn't sleep last night.

In order to show your importance to clothes, I went to the town's clothing store to carefully select them early in the morning.

Following the process, the two of them will attend a press conference to entertain media reporters.

After all, they both faced the spotlight for the first time, and this was a foreign journalist. In order not to lose face to the people of the motherland, they specially dressed up in formal clothes.

As the discoverers of the treasure, the two felt that they would definitely be interviewed by reporters later.

The Jersey Museum, which was once deserted, has become a hot commodity today.

When Li Ming and Lao Dong arrived, there were many news interview cars parked outside alone, and some news reporters had already started to explain to the camera with microphones.

After counting roughly, Li Ming found that the British press giants, The Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph, were all there.

The police station also arranged a lot of police forces to deal with emergencies at the scene.

Every staff member who came out of the museum was surrounded by reporters as soon as he left the cordon.

From a distance, both of them could hear reporters asking questions about the staff almost like gunfire.

"Hello, how big is the Celtic silver coin treasure I discovered this time!"

"Did you see treasures while working in a museum? I'm a journalist with The Times, and I want to know when the media can come in for an interview?"

"I am a reporter from the New York Times. I heard that the treasures discovered this time are all silver coins. When did you discover the treasure? Are you an archaeological expert in the museum who discovered the treasure?"

Although it was not Li Ming and the other two who were interviewed.

But seeing this scene, Li Ming, the real treasure discoverer, ignited a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart, and even the old Dong next to him stood up straight.

A Chinese son and daughter with a strong and beautiful Chinese ran to the foreigners' territory to dig out the treasures of foreigners. This inner pride made Li Ming feel so damn.

Thinking that he would make the Chinese people look more in the spotlight later, his nervous and nervous mood was even more exciting than when he learned about the 4 million bonus last night.

The police and museum staff quickly checked Li Ming and Lao Dong's ID cards and put them in.

The police who maintained order were very confused about the two Asians having certificates to enter the museum.

Because the incident happened too suddenly, these people didn't know that Li Ming and the others were the discoverers of the treasure just now.

Fifth floor of the museum.

This is the office area of ​​the entire building. Old Henry, who had a great conversation yesterday, didn't know where to go. Li Ming estimated that the old man must be focusing on the pile of silver coins now.

The corridor and inquire about the many museum staff busy moving tables and chairs and preparing for a press conference to come.

After all, this is the first time I have seen such a press conference setting site, and the two of them feel that everything they see is fresh.

I am used to seeing the exquisite and beautiful secretary on TV. Li Ming was disappointed by such an aunt-level mayor secretary in front of me.

However, the other party seemed very disappointed. When the secretary and old Dong saw him and Lao Dong, he frowned unnaturally.

Li Ming and Lao Dong soon met Mayor Jonathan, and there were only four of them in the huge office.

Mayor Jonathan was tidying up his tie in front of the mirror. When he saw two people coming in, he greeted him happily.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Dong! I'm glad we're meeting again!"

As long as they met, the mayor was warmly greeted and shook hands. Old Dong, who was a little nervous, quickly reached out his hand!

"We are also very happy to see you, Mr. Mayor!"

Mayor Jonathan looked in a very good mood and took out two cigars from the box on the table and threw them over.

"Try the best Cuban cigars. I was talking about you two to Director Henry before, but I didn't expect you to come!"

"I will deal with the reporter later. It's time for you to come. The contract and check are on the table. After signing, £4 million will be yours!"

The secretary and aunt next to him took out the contract from the file bag and distributed it to Li Ming and Lao Dong.

Looking at Li Ming and Lao Dong, Mayor Jonathan sighed.

"I have to say from the bottom of my heart that you two are so lucky!"

Here I got Li Ming and Old Dong looked down at the thick stack of contracts in their hands!

There is basically nothing wrong with the contract, and the price is correct. If you sign it, the check will be basically in place.

Li Ming, who just signed the letter, is wrong!

He is in the state of "Treasure Master Experience Card", and he reads and understands these legal provisions in his hands without any pressure.

After signing the contract, I found that there were several terms in the contract that were obviously incorrect!

The other party's compliment at the beginning made the two of them relax their vigilance.

"Mr. Mayor, Article 36 of the contract regarding the identity of the treasure discoverer, and Article 39 stipulates that the contractor shall not publicize and publish the discovery of the Jersey Celtic silver coin treasure!"

"And Article 45 stipulates that if it is leaked on its own, we will refund 50% of the bonus..."

"Since you have the treasure, you can't erase the honor that the treasure discoverer deserves! The above are obviously wrong!"

Jonathan never expected that the two Asians in front of him would carefully read the contract word by word, and the mayor, who was found to be tricky, looked a little unnatural.

In his plan, Li Ming and the others should be excited to sign the letter, get out after getting the check!

At this time, the secretary and aunt who had been standing next to her interrupted without hesitation: "The honor of the treasure discoverer is of no use to you. Just take away the £4 million check on the table!"

When Li Ming heard this, his face suddenly became cold. The other party was obviously going to cause trouble!

The old Dong next to him was a little confused about what was going on. How did he sign it all out, but why did he suddenly turn against him?

It seemed that he was sure to win. Mayor Jonathan, who was holding a cigar in his mouth, stopped pretending at this time, looked at Li Ming and the others contemptuously, vomited circles in his mouth, and said lightly;

"Mr. Li, I think for you, the £4 million bonus is a lot! All you need is to keep your word about your behavior!"

Li Ming really didn't understand why the other party spent a lot of effort to find the reputation of a treasure discoverer.

"Mr. Mayor, I want to know why this is!"

It seemed that he had known that Li Ming would ask this long ago. Mayor Jonathan reached out to fix his neck and tie, stared at Li Ming with interest and said.

"Mr. Li! I heard you are from China!"
