Chapter 1303 Return to the Ominous Place
Jem got more comprehensive information. The team formed by the Connery family suffered heavy casualties, especially Connery, whose leg was at risk of amputation, and he is still being rescued.
"Mr. Li, how many people do we need to bring when we enter the deep rainforest in the future?"
Jem was also a little worried. It would be easier to manage with a small number of people, but if there were too many people, the risk would increase.
Li Mo knew what he was thinking, so he spread out a piece of white paper and drew a circle in the middle with a pen: "If this is the treasure range I have circled, then we have to cut down all the trees around it and use them to build tents, forming a huge encirclement."
He drew a second circle, and a third circle.
"This third circle represents the defense line, so you don't have to worry too much. The most important point is that we don't need to walk into the rainforest anymore. I just need to give the coordinates to the Colombian officials and let them use helicopters to transport all of us and equipment in. They won't get the chance to sit back and enjoy the good things."
The madman clapped his hands: "Yes, as long as we confirm the scope of the treasure first, and then let the Colombian officials transport a large force and equipment there."
"So, our risk is actually the smallest, but it will be more troublesome to clear the trees in the early stage. But we can spend a lot of money and hire a lot of people to do the work. Money can solve many complex problems here."
Jem also figured it out and nodded repeatedly. How much money can be spent on hiring people? It's just a drizzle for them, but it can solve 80% to 90% of the troubles for their early preparations.
The evil capital can really prevail here.
Li Mo didn't say anything, but he still agreed with Jem's approach of using money to open the way.
"There is one thing you all have to tell everyone. Anyone who enters the rainforest must not clash with the indigenous tribes inside, otherwise they will be responsible for serious consequences."
"Don't worry about this. We will never take the initiative to cause trouble."
The three discussed some details, and then Jem turned the topic to transporting treasures.
"The second batch of gold and gems we were allocated has been successfully transported back. How much treasure can be excavated from the last three treasure sites you circled for him?"
"It's just that feeling, it may not be accurate. We will probably know the result tomorrow. If the amount excavated is large, we will wait until it is transported back before proceeding to the next step. If the amount excavated is not large, then wait."
"We will arrange it according to what you say. Anyway, we will listen to you." The madman is now a hot star in Europe, and maybe he can really whitewash his identity in the future. With the secret help of Juliet and others, he will have a completely different second half of his life.
This matter is completely feasible.
After the madman and Jem left, Qin Sijun came in with two cups of freshly made coffee. Seeing that the two had left, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I made freshly ground coffee with great difficulty, but now they're gone. We're not used to it anymore."
"Sijun, put the coffee down first. I'll tell you something else."
"You look so serious, what's the matter?"
Li Mo told him his thoughts in detail. When Qin Sijun heard the end, he looked like you really dared to think.
"You think it's not possible?"
"It's not that I think it's not possible, it's mainly because I don't understand the tricks here."
"I want you to make such suggestions and ideas to the above from your perspective, and I don't need you to do it hand in hand. This is not something that can be done in one or two years. It may take ten or fifteen years to achieve the effect we expect, or we may not gain anything."
Li Mo said unhappily.
"According to what you said, there is a lot of room for maneuver. OK, I'll pay attention to this matter and sort out a document and submit it when I go back."
"Well, just remember it yourself."
In the end, only one of the three suspected treasure areas circled in the third batch was found, and the other two were empty. Although many people were disappointed, they turned their heads and forgot about it.
This time, Columbia alone received an astonishing 500,000 pieces of various gold and gemstones, many of which were priceless treasures and could be called Columbia's national treasures. Especially the pyramid-style sacrificial temple platform with a history of two years ago, the impact it brought was extremely huge, and it could even unite 40 million indigenous people in the Americas, and even many descendants with indigenous blood.
Just like the Buddhist pilgrimage site in China, Columbia will also become a pilgrimage site for Native Americans in the future. It is conceivable what the future development will be like.
I don't know what the Colombian officials were thinking. In order to express their sincerity, they suddenly gave two of the four gem-encrusted gold totem poles to Li Mo, and transported them back to China along with the third batch of gold treasures. Perhaps they knew very well that this was just the beginning of the cooperation and they couldn't be too stingy.
They didn't have the ability, so they could only pay a little to let capable people help, which was an unimaginable huge benefit for many officials now.
The treasures on the Guadavida Lake had been generally cleaned up, leaving only the huge sacrificial temple platform that hadn't been dug out of the pit, but it would be soon.
"Li Mo, the partners selected by Colombia from China have already started working."
"Inform all relevant parties, and you can always contact us if you have any questions."
"I have already communicated this matter with the general person in charge of the other party. They were also selected through your relationship. When the project is completed, the net income will exceed a small goal. And the income is obtained in a short period of time. I am from that person in charge. There was something in the man's words, as if he wanted to share half of the profits with you. "
Li Mo frowned slightly, waved his hand and said: "I really want to make that kind of money, so why go in such a big circle, let them do their job well, and just give more bonuses to the employees who participate in this project."
"Then I know how to tell him. In addition, the second batch of medicinal powder has been delivered. When will we enter the rain forest?"
"Lehdo said that the weather will be good in the next two weeks, so we are all ready today and will set off into the rainforest again tomorrow. In addition, are all the people we have recruited full?"
Qin Sijun replied: "I heard that the average salary in Bogota is around 3,000 yuan per month. In other places, or in slightly more remote places, the average salary is even lower, less than 1,500 yuan, and many people even have food and clothing problems. There is no way to solve it. You offer a salary of 300 yuan a day, which is a high salary in the eyes of many people, so only one day after the recruitment notice was issued, all 300 people were recruited. "
Li Mo smiled and said: "Jim is right. As long as the money is in place, a lot of troublesome things can be solved here. In this case, the people we bring don't have to work so hard, and we only need to maintain order on site. Since So, notify all parties to meet at Lake Guadavida at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and then head into the depths of the rainforest."
Qin Sijun thought for a moment and asked: "We know the whereabouts of the treasure, but others don't know. What if Gobia officials ask?"
"Who said we were going to dig for treasure? We were obviously leading an army to hunt for treasure. The local people recruited were to help us carry food, drink, and other supplies. Only when we entered the depths of the rainforest did we accidentally encounter A suspected treasure spot will suffice."
Recruiting 300 local people at once, and with a high salary ceiling, attracted the attention of all parties. Besides, people all over the world are paying attention to Li Mo's next move, so it's normal to have various thoughts in his mind when he sees that he is making a lot of noise.
Cobia's huge harvest this time has made many countries jealous, especially the countries surrounding the Americas. Because they only knew that Gobia was cooperating with Li Mo, but they didn't know the real inside story of the cooperation.
On a new day, when Li Mo arrived near Lake Guadavida, he saw an extremely huge hoisting machinery and equipment had been erected in front of him, and many people wearing safety helmets were busy in an orderly manner.
The three hundred people recruited were divided into four groups, led by the four Da Rong brothers. Seeing Li Mo arrive, he quickly stepped forward to greet him respectfully.
Rehdo finally showed up again, and he regained the initiative. From now on, he will follow Li Mo's footsteps honestly, engaging in so many tricks, and the show for himself will not have any effect, and he almost kills himself.
"Mr. Li, according to your request, we purchased a large amount of food and supplies, as well as some simple equipment."
Lehdo did everything himself. He had many questions in his heart, but he still kept them in his heart. He was afraid that he would cause any trouble again and make everyone unhappy.
Now not only Li Mo can't afford to offend, but also future benefactors Jem and Madman can't afford to offend. Whether he can realize his biggest dream in life will depend on their help in the future.
"Da Rong, apply powder on everyone, and then everyone should carry a bag with them."
"Okay, Mr. Li."
Da Rong and the others were very aware of the miraculous effects of that medicinal powder. It smelled a bit unpleasant when applied to the body, but common poisonous insects and snakes were avoided. In the past, if you were bitten, it would be unpleasant. If it was a mild case, it would become swollen and pus would develop, and if it was serious, it would kill you directly.
This is also a major factor in recruiting 300 people so smoothly. Sometimes, no matter how much money you have, you have to spend it with your life.
Of course, Li Mo's promise was not just basic remuneration. If anything happened, he would pay for all the treatment expenses, as well as generous compensation.
This is also a hot topic that has aroused public discussion in Gobia.
The team of four hundred people plunged into the rain forest, and countless people's eyes were staring at them to see if they were like the Connelly family, who had suffered heavy casualties and retreated in just one day.
They came to the primitive tribe again, and Li Mo also brought them a lot of food, clothing and clothing. Of course, it was not close to their territory, but placed in a relatively safe middle location.
This time, after the indigenous people who stayed behind got food and clothing, they did not move away and danced a strange dance at a distance.
"Da Rong, what are they dancing?"
"It's a blessing dance of their tribe."
There's nothing beautiful about that dance, it's like a liar dancing to a master.
"Let's go."
Bypassing this primitive tribe, you can reach the legendary ominous place in more than 20 minutes.
"Mr. Li, are we going to bypass that ominous place?"
When he was about to approach the ominous place, Da Rong couldn't help but ask.
"There's no need to go around because that's where we're going."
Da Rong, who had been following him, showed surprise on his face, and then expressed fear. That's a famous ominous place deep in the rainforest. I didn't expect that this time's destination would be there.
"You do not dare?"
Li Mo asked with a slight smile on his face.
"Don't dare... dare... that..." Da Rong's first reaction was not to dare, but he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. How could he not dare? Should he still take the generous reward? This time, the four brothers were all the leaders of four teams, and Li Mo's reward for them was double that of others.
What's the use of being afraid? Only the benefits in hand are real.
Since they have reached the destination, Li Mo has no need to hide it from him. He reached out and patted his shoulder gently and smiled: "I suspect that there is a huge treasure buried underground in that so-called ominous place."
Da Rong was stunned for a long time before reacting.
It was also the first time for Lei Heduo to enter such a long rainforest. His legs had been trembling for a long time, and his wounds were a little uncomfortable. He regretted it for a moment. He could have waited until Li Mo found the treasure before following in.
But since he had already followed into the rainforest, he couldn't turn back halfway, which would be a big shame.
At this moment, he was drinking water. Suddenly, he heard Li Mo say this, and a mouthful of water spurted out, choking and coughing violently.
"Mr. Lei Heduo, are you okay?"
Qin Sijun hurriedly patted his back.
"It's okay, it's okay, I choked accidentally."
Lei Heduo looked at the so-called ominous place in front of him. There were no tall trees, and it was considered an open space. This is indeed a bit out of tune with the surrounding rainforest environment. Because of the legend of the ominous place, the primitive tribes in the depths of the rainforest naturally dare not approach, and foreign explorers are unwilling to approach easily. This is an instinctive risk avoidance psychology.
But such an ominous place is completely another matter in Li Mo's eyes. As long as everyone calms down and thinks carefully, how could there be no trees in the depths of the rainforest if there is no strange abnormality underground.
Since there is something strange, what exactly is it?
Lei Heduo made up a lot of content in his mind. He believes that Li Mo can become a great treasure hunter. His vision and thinking are indeed unparalleled. Think what others dare not think, and do what others dare not do.
Crazy and Jem had been here last time. They were really dumbfounded. The huge treasure was right in front of them, but they didn't dare to approach it last time.
"Li Mo, I'll let my people dig first. You just need to designate a place." Qin Sijun said in a low voice.
"Okay, give the order. As long as you dig up the treasure, everyone in your team will be rewarded 50,000 yuan."
