Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

“Hey, if you put it that way, then if this 240 tons of gold can be connected to that man, then all of this makes a bit more sense.”

"After all, he's that man. Back then, he almost conquered all of Europe! Even the once-powerful Soviet Union lost nearly half of its territory to him!"

"We've conquered so many places, and they're all incredibly rich. Just scraping around here would yield more than a few hundred tons of gold!"

"Seeing that the situation was not going well, it is normal to leave behind a few hundred tons of gold in order to make a comeback. Yes, it is normal. That makes sense."

At first glance, this seems to make perfect sense.

But the problem is
"Back then, that man was so obsessed, he was bloodthirsty! If he really had that much gold on hand, he would have gone all in long ago, why would he have waited until now?"

"And the location of this treasure... if I remember correctly, San Dezi's influence in Africa isn't that great, is it? He doesn't even have a single colony! Why would he put this treasure all the way there? Is he out of his mind?"

You know what, what Hao Pingchuan said actually makes a lot of sense.

But he had clearly forgotten about that 39-day-old innocent man.

"Yes, it's true that San Dezi's colonies in Africa were divided up by the great powers back when the country was defeated in World War I. But just because they didn't have them doesn't mean that 39-year-old innocent man didn't!"

"Anyway, he's already surrendered. Before he surrendered, he managed his colonies in Africa exceptionally well. In this situation, why not just ask him for a few dollars? San Dezi has already asked; can that 39-year-old naive man refuse? Does he dare to refuse?"

Hao Pingchuan immediately understood.

"Hey, I knew something was off. Turns out I'd forgotten about this guy. No wonder, no wonder."

After suddenly realizing what was happening, Hao Pingchuan said with disdain.

"You know, he's always so arrogant and high and mighty. I thought he was some kind of big shot. But in the end, this huge country only took 39 days, just 39 days, and he raised the white flag."

"With this kind of performance, they still have the nerve to call themselves great powers. After the war, they were able to firmly occupy one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, even before we were imprisoned! Who can you reason with that? If someone like that can do better than us, God must be blind."

That's more than just being blind; it's practically being blind.

In Hao Pingchuan's view, if they had had the industrial base of the 39-day-old innocent man back then, and if they had had his industrial capabilities, let alone Japan, they would have dared to confront the then-powerful United States and the Soviet Union head-on, and would definitely not have been at a disadvantage!
But in the end, he had great skills but lacked any manly spirit.

As soon as they got serious, he surrendered immediately!

"He didn't even last as long as a cabbage! At least a cabbage can survive a winter! But what about him? So many people, so much good equipment! Even if it were 200 million pigs, San Dezi might not be able to catch them all in three months! But he was gone in 39 days! Sigh, I really don't know what to say."

The fact that Hao Pingchuan was left speechless shows just how outrageous the things that the 39-year-old innocent man did back then really were.

Of course, the price was also extremely heavy.

Otherwise, where do you think the meme "39-day innocent man" that has resonated throughout the world came from?

Even now, decades have passed in the future.

When the war and the world-shaking surrender are mentioned, the French still can't hold their heads high.

"So, it's alright. And the focus now isn't on how outrageous they were back then, but on figuring this out as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Bai Ling picked up the Flying Eagle Project disc and continued solemnly.

"At least 240 tons of gold, that's no small amount. As Lao Luo just said, our national treasury only has 156 tons of gold in total! This is truly a fortune comparable to that of a country. With this batch of gold, everything we do will be much smoother."

"Even if we just resell it to future generations, we can make a fortune and make a killing! We absolutely cannot miss such a great opportunity! Lao Luo, you'd better hurry up and make this happen."

"Have your men investigate thoroughly to see if this is truly the case. If it is, send an elite team to transport this batch of gold over as quickly as possible and secure it. That's the most important thing!"

Bai Ling's words struck a chord with Lao Luo.

Especially after taking on so many loans, every time they open their eyes, they don't know how many debts are waiting for them to pay.

That feeling is truly unpleasant.

It's no exaggeration to say that every morning when Lao Luo wakes up, it feels like a huge stone is pressing on his heart; it's incredibly uncomfortable.

Now, it's like a pillow has appeared when you're sleepy.

They still brought out such a huge pillow right away.

If Lao Luo (Luo Yonghao) isn't tempted, then something really strange would happen!
Therefore, almost immediately, as soon as Bai Ling finished speaking, Lao Luo expressed his opinion.

"I'll immediately organize a team to thoroughly study this film. If we really have such a huge treasure here, such a large sum of ill-gotten gains, I'll definitely send someone to bring it back right away!"

Without waiting even a moment, Lao Luo immediately turned to leave, instructing relevant personnel to conduct a thorough investigation and verify whether the treasure was real or fake.

Halfway there.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and Lao Luo stopped again.

His face was filled with excitement as he spoke.

"Hey, Bai Ling, if we can confirm this treasure, what about the others? Their entertainment industry has been developing for decades! Such a long time, and treasure is an indispensable element of adventure movies!"

"With so many years of accumulation, there must be a lot of movies about treasures! Not just in China, but also abroad, and there are a lot of them! If all these films and television shows actually existed here, wouldn't we be rich?"

"We don't have to do anything every day, just study these movies and TV shows, and then go treasure hunting. That would make us incredibly rich! If that were really possible, that would be amazing!"

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

If we could truly find these treasures that only exist in movies and TV shows, and in large quantities, that would be truly remarkable. Putting aside everything else, at least in terms of quickly accumulating wealth, Beijing would definitely have an easier and smoother time than in later generations!
In particular, in order to attract attention, the treasures in these movies and TV dramas are usually exaggerated as much as possible.

Just like this Flying Eagle Project, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, they just ask for at least 240 tons of gold!
"If that's the case, then this is indeed a very feasible idea! Bai Ling, what do you think?"

"I think? Of course I think it's absolutely feasible! Otherwise, why do you think I asked you to quickly verify the authenticity of the treasure in Project Eagle? Isn't it for this?!"

In fact, Bai Ling only came up with this idea after confirming that the world they lived in was indeed a hodgepodge of film and television.

After all, if TV dramas like "Full House of Love" and "Glorious Era" can be made, then there's no reason why classic Hong Kong films like "Project Eagle" can't be made.

If these classic Hong Kong films are real, then the treasures within them must also be real!

Even if, due to factors such as the adaptation of film and television works into reality, the number of treasures is not as large as in the original works, it certainly won't be much less!

240 tons of gold is a bit exaggerated, but what about 200 tons or 100 tons?

Does this make more sense now?

What if they only find a few dozen tons of gold in the end?
That's enough for 49City World, which is developing rapidly and urgently needs capital injection, to accomplish a lot!
Moreover, without exception, they are all major events that benefit the country and its people!
Isn't this much better and more meaningful than letting these treasures remain buried underground, unknown to anyone?

So, after realizing that the world they lived in was a hodgepodge of film and television works, Bai Ling immediately thought of the movie "Project Eagle" that Ximen Lang had taken her to see.

This led to the idea of ​​finding all the treasures mentioned in movies and TV shows, bringing them back, and making good use of them.

And she couldn't wait. She had just explained the matter of Golden Finger and the people in the courtyard to Lao Luo and the others when Bai Ling immediately brought up the Flying Eagle Project and asked Lao Luo to organize a team to study it.

In fact, in order to verify her guess as soon as possible, Bai Ling even searched for movies about treasure.

It's a pity
"Because at that time, the world was so poor that it simply couldn't afford to support film and television productions. Later, the atmosphere was corrupted by South Korea. It was all about effeminate young male actors, and all the drama was either love stories or melodramatic slapstick. Good heavens, it was utter nonsense, and it made my blood pressure soar."

"So there are relatively few treasures located in our own territory. But although we have few here, there are many outside! Especially Hong Kong films and American TV series, there are so many of these types of films! The locations of the treasures are mostly in the desolate old forests or the Gobi Desert."

"There are so many possibilities. We can just send our people over there, dig up the treasure, and bring it back without anyone noticing. Wouldn't that be great? It would save so much time and effort!"

Even Bai Ling dared to assert
"That woman must have been eyeing all the treasures we have hidden here for a long time. She's just waiting for us to be too busy to notice them so she can sneak in and make a fortune!"

"So, Lao Luo, you have to pay attention to this matter and hurry up. You absolutely can't take it lightly! Especially Hong Kong, a place teeming with treasures. From today onwards, that place will be a forbidden zone for future generations!"

"I don't care how powerful he is, they're not allowed to go to this place! Even if we take this place back later, they still won't be allowed to visit! I'll block their way, let's see what kind of crooked ideas that little wench can come up with!"

That's why they say the person who knows you best isn't necessarily yourself; they could also be your enemy.

Look, they've only just started thinking about this, and haven't even had a chance to put it into practice yet.

Bai Ling took preventative measures by blocking the road completely in advance.

Not to mention a door, there wasn't even a window left for them; they weren't even allowed a single opening!
This is really
"So thoughtful! Bai Ling, you've considered everything so thoroughly! No wonder you're my most promising junior; you're truly meticulous!"

"Hey, wasn't I the junior you had the most faith in? How did it become her?"

"Go to hell!"

With a simple "Go to hell," Hao Pingchuan was sent aside, told to go play somewhere else and not get in his way.

Then, before Bai Ling could offer another reminder, he hesitated for a moment.

Luo spoke first, assuring Bai Ling.

"Don't worry, even if we do find these treasures, we will certainly not be blinded by them and neglect the construction of our industrial base and the long-term development of our industrial capabilities."

"This is the key to our ability to stand tall among the nations of the world and achieve our great rejuvenation. We will never relax our vigilance for a moment, nor will we ever forget it for a second!"

"After all, this is the root of everything! In Ah Lang's words, no matter what, we can definitely tell the difference between the two kings! So, don't worry."

"Have some confidence in yourselves, and give ourselves some confidence too. We certainly won't put the cart before the horse and forget our true mission!"

Since Lao Luo has already said all this, what else is there to say?

Moreover, with her several capable and far-sighted elders around, such a thing would never have happened.

Therefore, such worries only flashed through Bai Ling's mind for a moment before she quickly put them behind her.

Then, the scene is reenacted.

They treated Lao Luo like a prisoner, urging him to make calls and send telegrams as soon as possible to get things settled.

After doing all this, I reminded Lao Luo again.

"No matter where you look for him, whether you cheat or swindle, or shamelessly ask someone from the future to borrow him, get the driver here right now. Ah Lang said he's already bragged about it! If he loses face because of you and fails to keep his promise, he'll definitely come back to hold you accountable! Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Luo slapped his forehead and exclaimed.
"Damn it, I've been so busy worrying about you these past few days that I forgot about this! You there, you there, I'm talking to you, Hao Pingchuan, stop pretending to be dead! Hurry up and lift the restrictions on Gao Cheng and the others immediately! Then bring that kid Gao Cheng here with me, and just tell him directly, 'I, Lao Luo, have come to apologize to him on behalf of the Four Nine Cities World!'"

He truly felt he had let Gao Cheng and the others down these past two days. While urging Hao Pingchuan to lift the restrictions on Gao Cheng and the others, Lao Luo immediately instructed the guards to notify the cooking squad to prepare a feast for him.

Meanwhile, while preparing, Lao Luo quickly gave her a brief account of the series of events that had occurred in the past two days due to the sudden disappearance of the two women.

Upon learning that Lao Luo had actually considered targeting the guard battalion, Bai Ling was utterly shocked. (End of Chapter)
