Although Los Angeles Chinatown is not particularly large, it is one of the oldest Chinatowns, having emerged in the 1860s.Inside the hall of the Hongmen Zhigongtang.In an antique quiet room.Situ Meng personally brewed a cup of Longjing tea for Li Jiankun, brought it to the Eight Immortals Table, patted him on the shoulder and said:“It’s really a bit troublesome.“We have always kept to ourselves.“For those of us in this line of work, we are not afraid of anyone when we are ruthless, but as the uncles say, we still have to consider the overall situation."We must admit that these families dominate this country. Their roots are intertwined and spread to every corner of politics, business, justice, and law. If we go to war with them, we must be prepared to have our local power uprooted."Li Jiankun understood that the Hongmen really had no way to deal with the other party."But don't worry about one thing. With me, Situ Meng, here, I won't let anyone threaten your safety, not even them."Li Jiankun felt a warm feeling in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "So, what is the origin of this Feren family?""You can say he is the local emperor of Los Angeles."Situ Meng sat down on the round stool next to him and told the story: "The Fellen family has been working in Los Angeles for nearly a hundred years. They have been involved in major business fields in Los Angeles, such as Hollywood, real estate, finance, hotels... and have a lot of say."They are also the real bosses behind the Los Angeles Mafia - the Delana Family. Of course, they never admit it."But this is not the most important thing."Li Jiankun frowned slightly: "Oh?"Situ Meng continued, "The current head of the Feren family is called Simon. He is quite young. His father died early. Do you know who his mother is?"Li Jiankun smiled bitterly: "How would I know? I haven't been to Los Angeles three times in total.""You'll know if I tell you her name."Li Jiankun waited for further information."Judy," Situ Meng paused deliberately before saying her last name, "Rockefeller."Li Jiankun's expression suddenly became serious.I originally thought that a local dragon like the Feren family would be difficult to deal with.Unexpectedly, a giant dragon of the ancestor level was involved.Situ Meng noticed his expression, spread his hands and said, "If this Xu guy gets the protection of the Feren family, it will be difficult to do anything to him in Los Angeles, or even in this country."He paused and said:"But I have a question: How did this kid get the protection of the Feren family? On what basis did he get it?"Situ Meng now has some understanding about Xu Qingyou.His greatest support is probably his father.However, Situ Meng didn't think that the Furen family would care much.I have never heard of this family, but I don't think they have any plans to expand overseas.Li Jiankun did not answer. Wasn't this also the question in his mind?He suddenly thought of something: the treasure map that Xiaowu mentioned.Is it because of this?He was not familiar with the Feren family, but he knew a little about the Klofeler family, which was well-known to everyone.The Kloefeller family has always had a hobby of collecting, and some of them are almost obsessed with antique artworks from East Asia.For example, the current head of the Kloefeller family, David Kloefeller's father, Kloefeller Jr., even asked his father for a loan of two million US dollars when he was young to buy a batch of famous porcelain from the Morgan family's collection, most of which were Chinese Ming and Qing dynasty ceramics.With this thought in mind, Li Jiankun looked at Situ Meng and asked:“Does this Feren family have any business at sea?“For example, salvaging a shipwreck.”After thinking about it, Situ Meng said, "It seems that there is indeed a salvage company that salvages shipwrecks all over the world. I heard before that they secretly salvaged a shipwreck from a certain country and got a lot of treasures. Later, when others found out, they filed an international lawsuit."Why do you ask?"Li Jiankun thought to himself that that was right.There is an 80% chance that Xu Qing got in touch with the Feren family through the treasure map.However, he still had doubts in his mind.Xu Qingyou was too arrogant and too confident tonight.It seemed that he was certain that the Feren family would protect him no matter what.Xu Qingyou knew him quite well and knew that he was rich.Xu Qingyou seemed to be not worried at all. He spent a lot of money, which led to the Furen family selling him out.This is why?Li Jiankun thought for a long time, with all kinds of assumptions in his mind, but still couldn't come up with a reason that would justify himself.Can't figure it out.He did not hide anything from Situ Meng and told him everything about the treasure map, wanting to hear what he would say based on his understanding of the Feren family."No wonder."After listening to this, Situ Meng pondered and said, "For families like this that have been rich for several generations, the desire to make money is usually not that strong, because they can never spend it all. In other words, money is not the only thing they value.“People from this type of family often develop some elegant hobbies, such as collecting.“Some people are obsessed.“I’m not too sure about the Phelan family, but the Rockefellers are crazy collectors."If the things found in this treasure map are attractive enough, they can protect the surname Xu in any way possible."Maybe it's really that simple.Suddenly remembering something, Li Jiankun stood up and said goodbye, preparing to return to the InterContinental Hotel in the city center.Situ Meng sent him away and said, "Don't worry. The guy surnamed Xu is so arrogant. The people of the Furen family are not as brainless as him. They will not get any good out of going to war with our Hongmen. The leaders of those families still cherish their lives."But just in case, I will increase the security around you, both overtly and covertly."Li Jiankun didn't say thank you either, which seemed pretentious.Just keep it in mind.…………It was already early morning when we returned to the InterContinental Hotel.Calculating the time, it’s not dark yet in China.Li Jiankun first called Xiaowu and asked him whether he had obtained any porcelain samples from Geng Sansha in Tianjin.Xiao Wu said on the other end of the phone, "It was done a long time ago. I asked Geng Sansha to deliver it. He went to the capital for a tour and then went back. Who did you think you were talking about? It was Wang Shanhe. He came to see it and said it was a good item and worth collecting.""That's it?""Oh, what else?"Li Jiankun thought that Shanhe was probably just watching someone talking to a cow and was too lazy to say more.After hanging up the phone.He contacted Wang Shanhe again."Jiankun, if those items were salvaged from a sunken ship, they would be very valuable.""Oh?"Wang Shanhe explained on the other end of the phone: "After taking charge of Donghai Company that day, I have been looking through the materials for some time.“First of all, it can be confirmed that it is porcelain from the Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty."There are kilns from Dehua, Cizhou, and Longquan in Jingdezhen."Li Jiankun interjected, "The best of the best.""Yes."Wang Shanhe's voice came from the microphone: "Let me say something vulgar first. Isn't the capital going to have an auction house? I will go and take a look whenever I have time, and get some information about foreign auction houses."Similar porcelain, right here in your country, the United States, has been auctioned for more than $100,000 per piece."Just think about it, how much of this porcelain can be loaded on a ship?“Tens of thousands!"How much is it worth? You are good at math, so you can calculate it yourself."Xiao Wang paused and said:“I’ll talk a little more.“So far, no underwater shipwreck site has been discovered in the country. If the information Xiaowu and his friends said is true, this is the first one."In addition, such a ship carrying fine porcelain, buried in the South China Sea, most likely traveled along the Maritime Silk Road. This is an important part of our external development history. Professional institutions and personnel have been studying it, but they suffer from insufficient data. It can be said that a piece of rotten wood on the ship 800 years ago is of great historical significance and research value.Xiao Wang finally said:“The vulgar and the dry add up.“I’ll give you a conclusion:"If there is indeed an ancient shipwreck, its market value and the amount of information magnified by the cultural relics are simply inestimable."That is, a national treasure!"In fact, when Shanhe was halfway through his speech, there seemed to be a ding-dong sound in Li Jiankun's head.Some information that had once appeared vaguely gradually became clear.At the same time, four words echoed in his mind——South China Sea No. 1.This was the first shipwreck site discovered in China in the past. Li Jiankun couldn't remember the exact year, but it was probably in the late 1980s.However, due to technical and financial issues, the salvage and research were postponed.It was not until the year 2007 that it began.After more than ten years of salvage and exploration, it was determined that there were about 160,000 pieces of gold, silver, copper, iron and porcelain, most of which were extremely well preserved, on this ancient shipwreck.A Crystal Palace Museum was built specifically for it later for tourists to visit.It has been described as "comparable in value to the Terracotta Warriors" and "Dunhuang on the Sea".More than just a national treasure?The ship is filled with national treasures!Damn Xu Qingyou, what is he trying to do?Join forces with the Fehren family to fish it out on your own?What a dare!Wang Shanhe's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Picture! Picture! Jiankun, picture!“We must get it back."This may be the only clue. Where else can we find it in such a vast ocean?"Shanhe was right. Li Jiankun couldn't be sure whether it was through the treasure map drawn by the old fisherman in his previous life that he discovered South China Sea No. 1 in the late 1980s.Xu Qingyou wanted to make some money, but it was impossible.But if there is no treasure map, God knows how long Nanhai No. 1 will remain dormant under the sea.The treasure map must be retrieved!"I know, don't worry."Li Jiankun realized that he was also the one who instigated this change.Let’s not talk about the good things, even the bad things like this, the very bad things, he has to get back on track.Suddenly, I had an additional heavy responsibility.After ending the call, Li Jiankun walked to the small bar in the suite, poured a glass of Jack Daniels, which was full of technology and hard work, and gulped down most of it in one gulp.Then he took the wine glass and walked to the windowsill.Overlooking the night scene of Los Angeles which is still brightly lit in the early hours of the morning.Li Jiankun looked around, trying to find the Furen manor according to the location Situ Meng said. Although he knew that it was difficult to see the manor even if it was as bright as day, it was separated by skyscrapers.Yes, he had an idea in his mind.Just go there.In this way, some doubts in your heart can be resolved.You will also have the answer as to whether the desired result can be achieved smoothly.
