Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 458
Be reasonable~ If you let Chen Li find clues and find treasures by himself.

Then Chen Li definitely wouldn't do it!

Finding treasures sounds exciting, especially the mystery and excitement presented in some treasure hunting film and television works, which will definitely make everyone's adrenaline burst violently.

However. That kind of feeling is the selling point of this kind of film and television works, so the other party naturally has to work hard to create such an atmosphere.

And treasure hunting in reality is not the same as what is shown in film and television works.

In the vast majority of so-called treasure hunts, almost 99% of the time is actually doing preparatory work and useless work.

Looking for clues ~ confirming clues ~ preparing manpower ~ material resources ~ financial resources, and even going through various procedures and approvals, etc.

Sometimes it is even necessary to consider the national conditions of the place where the clue points to, the surrounding environment, safety factors, and so on.

But~ It doesn't mean that you can find treasures after doing these tasks well.

It is very likely that because of a clue, it took a year or even several years, consuming countless manpower, material and financial resources, but in the end nothing was found.

This kind of thing is simply not too normal!
As in film and television works, even if you can't find something, it will leave you with some clues pointing to a new place, which almost does not exist in reality.

In reality, if you didn’t find it, you didn’t find it, and no mysterious person would come out to remind you, and then let you determine the next target point.

So the real clues are actually the most critical thing to find the treasure in reality.

As long as there are definite clues, Chen Li can even set up a professional treasure hunting company to take charge of this business.

It's just that the system requires Chen Li to hand over the treasures he finds to the system, which makes Chen Li a little depressed.

Once or twice is enough, if a professional treasure hunting company is established, Chen Li's handed-in treasure will be exposed sooner or later.

After all, if those treasures were found, it would be very difficult for the news not to be leaked.

Unless the people in this treasure hunting company are all bionics hired by Chen Li from the system.

But~ the price of hiring bionics from the system~ is really too expensive.

Chen Li's current currency system in the mall is almost full by his early consumption behavior, and if he wants to make another "transaction", it will have to wait until his currency income in the mall increases a bit.

So regarding the task of finding the lost treasure, Chen Li planned to figure it out gradually.

Anyway, this is a long-term task with no time limit, and it can be completed at any time.

But this time Chen Li got an exception!

There is no other reason~ Because when Chen Li saw the picture provided by this clue for the first time, a little familiar feeling flashed through his mind.

Chen Li was sure that he had definitely seen the treasure pointed to by this clue in his previous life.

It is even very possible that this treasure should have been discovered later in the previous life, but Chen Li didn't remember it for a while.

But~ After Chen Li spent 035 mall currency to exchange the detailed information of this **treasure [-], the memory in his mind became more and more familiar.

Chen Li became more and more sure that he had indeed seen this **Treasure No. 035 in his previous life.

Hmm~ Of course, seeing this does not mean that Chen Li has really seen this treasure with his own eyes. In his previous life, Chen Li had never been to Munich, so it is naturally impossible to see this treasure with his own eyes.

In fact, not many people have actually seen this treasure with their own eyes in their previous lives.

Because this thing was directly confiscated by the German government after it was discovered, and it was even reported by the media after a long time.

And before the treasure was confiscated, it was not that there was no owner, but the owner was not the real owner of the treasure.

If we really want to talk about this in detail, we have to start from World War II.

If you simplify things, it is basically an old man who collected and kept some of the wealth plundered by the Communist Party, and then hid it in a high-end apartment in Munich.

This old man is usually a little withdrawn, living alone in that apartment, and usually doesn't seem to have any relatives or friends.

Then once, when the old man was taking the train, he was suspected by the police because he was carrying a large amount of cash.

As a result, the police went up to investigate. Although they found that the other party had not violated the law, they made the police pay attention to the old man.

Then ~ the police began to investigate this guy, and found that the old man was living like an invisible man.

There are almost no records of him, whether in Munich or elsewhere.

Subsequent customs and tax investigations of Cornelius by Customs revealed that he had no state pension, health insurance, taxes, employment records, bank accounts, which showed that he had never worked, and that he was not even listed in the Munich address book Name, he is an "invisible man".

But this guy owns a million dollar apartment in one of the best neighborhoods in Munich.

This... is very unscientific!
So the investigation continued, and this time the police focused on the old guy's apartment.

After all, this person doesn't even have a job, so how did he support himself all these years?
Even this guy can live in the most exclusive community apartment in Munich?This is obviously not normal.

Because this guy had promoted an art gallery before, coupled with this person's surname, the police gradually discovered some clues.

Subsequently, the police issued a search warrant for the apartment where the old man named Cornelius Gullit lived on the grounds of suspected tax evasion.

Then the truth came out!

In that one-hundred-square-meter apartment, there are actually 1280 oil paintings, including some exquisite works by well-known artists.

And these oil paintings are exactly the wealth that Germany plundered from other countries back then.

It is said that the Communist Party looted about 65 works of art from various European countries, and these oil paintings are just the tip of the iceberg.

Of course~ Chen Li actually doesn't remember this very clearly.

It is just because after the discovery of these works of art in the previous life, the German government transported these famous paintings to a warehouse of the German Customs about 10 miles north of Munich for storage, and did not disclose their existence to the outside world.

Later, someone disclosed the matter to a famous weekly magazine, and the existence of these treasures was finally exposed.

And this time, almost one or two years later.

In the end~ the matter was exposed, and although the prosecutor general of Augsburg, Germany, who was in charge of investigating the matter, held a press conference, some things were already difficult to undo.

As a result, Germany's international image is facing a huge crisis, and some people even try to sue the German government.

Anyway, this incident caused a lot of trouble back then, and even Chen Li, who was in China at that time, had seen some related reports on the Internet.

Of course~ compared to how Germany handled this matter, Chen Li's focus at the time was naturally not here.

What he focuses on is actually what the vast majority of ordinary people pay attention to, that is.
The value of these treasures that were plundered at the beginning was as high as one billion euros.

Even at that time, due to the appreciation of the Huaxia currency and the depreciation of the euro, the exchange ratio between the two parties dropped to more than eight yuan.

But more than 80 billion Huaxia coins. For Chen Li, who had no system and rebirth advantages in his previous life, it was hard for him to imagine how he could have so much wealth.

Calculated from the annual income of Chen Li's most glorious year as a part-time worker in his previous life, Chen Li's most annual income was only about 30 yuan.

But even if Chen Li's annual income is increased to 40 yuan, it will take 2 years for Chen Li to earn 80 billion without eating or drinking.

This kind of algorithm~Although it doesn't make any sense, it can tell Chen Li very straightforwardly how valuable this treasure wealth worth more than 80 billion Huaxia coins is.

And this is only one apartment that was discovered, so does he have other apartments or places where he hides his treasure?

So many years have passed, how many treasures has this guy sold?
Although it was not mentioned in the news reports in the previous life, during that time, many forums on the Internet were discussing this matter, and Chen Li was one of them.

Anyway, Chen Li believed in the latter.

After all, Chen Li couldn't believe that the old guy didn't understand such things as not being able to put all eggs in one basket.

When this treasure was discovered in the previous life, it happened that various types of novels such as treasure hunting ~ appraising treasures ~ picking up leaks were especially popular in China in those few years.

Chen Li has also seen many works of this type, and sometimes imagines himself as the protagonist in the book
Well~ at that time, Chen Li was just thinking wildly anyway.

It's just that Chen Li himself didn't expect that one day, like the protagonists in the book, he would experience rebirth and possess a system.

It's just that compared to the protagonists in those works, Chen Li is really weak.

It has been more than seven years since he was reborn, and now he even needs to worry about funds, which is somewhat embarrassing to the rebirth and the protagonists who own the system.

So Chen Li decided to give it a try, after all, Xiaomeng had reminded him~ Lucas had an apartment that happened to be near that old guy, if Chen Li didn't give it a try, it would be too salty to specify.

So on the morning before Chen Li left Germany, Chen Li visited several apartments of Lucas under the guidance of Lucas' assistant Bals.

Chen Li didn't specifically ask to see the one on Maple Leaf Avenue first, so Chen Li went to No. 126 Maple Leaf Avenue under the guidance of Bals after visiting the other three apartments.

"It's so quiet here!"

After arriving at the destination, Chen Li let out a sigh of emotion.

The environment here is actually relatively ordinary. Although it claims to be one of the best communities in Munich, it is actually an old community.

The housing construction here can even be traced back to before World War II.

However, in Europe, this situation is very common, and whether the community is good or not is not just judged by the age of the house.

Others, such as geographical location and surrounding traffic, security and other facilities, and even the class of people living here, are the criteria to measure whether a community is good or bad.

According to some information Chen Li remembered from his previous life, the old man owned an apartment of about [-] square meters here, but the value of this apartment was said to exceed one million dollars.

That is to say, when this place was discovered in the previous life, the housing price here had almost risen to [-] U.S. dollars per square meter.

Although Chen Li doesn't remember clearly, he vaguely remembers that it should have happened around 10 to 13 years ago.

In fact, the housing prices in Germany have been relatively well controlled, so it is enough to prove that this place is worthy of being one of the best communities in Munich.

"The environment here is actually pretty good."

"However, Mr. Chen, if you want to use it to deal with work matters, this place is not suitable."

"Most of the people living here are elderly people. If you choose to live here, it may be a little inconvenient."

As an assistant, Bales gave very pertinent advice.

Indeed, as he said, when Chen Li looked around, most of the people he could see were old people. Although there were also young people, they were relatively few in general.

So if Chen Li's goal is really to find a foothold so that he can travel between China and Germany in the future, then this place is actually not suitable.

In particular, the reason given by Chen Li is to facilitate development in Germany in the future, and work may involve entertainment or other issues.

If Chen Li lived here, he might get into some trouble in the future.

After all, Chen Li is from China, and many habits of Chinese people are different from those of Germans.

Not to mention anything~ just say that if Chen Li really lives here by then, it is estimated that just cooking a meal might cause the neighbors to call the police.

This is not casual talk, Chen Li also knew many people who had stayed abroad in his previous life.

Almost every one of them has encountered similar troubles, that is, eating problems.

After staying abroad for a long time, who doesn't want to have a bite of hometown food?

It's fine if you don't know how to cook, but for those who can cook, wouldn't it be a good thing to cook a home-cooked meal once in a while?
But the problem also arises here, the most common cooking method of Chinese people is to stir-fry!
But if you really cook stir-fry abroad, you might get into a lot of trouble if you don't do it right.

In Chen Li's previous life, a friend made a dish of hot and sour potato shreds abroad, and then the smoke alarm went off, but because the buddy had just arrived abroad, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Finally, the fire brigade came .

Foreign fire brigades are not free, and the fees are very expensive.

For a dish of hot and sour potato shreds, Chen Li's friend finally paid 6000 euros, equivalent to more than [-] yuan in Huaxia currency.

More than 6000 hot and sour potato shreds. Even the top restaurants in China should not dare to sell such a high price.

And the most important thing is that this kind of similar operation is not an isolated case.

Especially some international students who can cook often have encountered similar problems.

In addition, there are many elderly people living here. Some elderly people are indeed more amiable, but sometimes...the elderly also mean trouble.

So. No matter how you say it, purely from the appeal of Chen Li, this place is definitely not a good choice.

It's just that Chen Li's purpose is not what he said, so...
"It's all here~ Let's go up and have a look!"

Chen Li looked at the building with vague memories in front of him, and said to Bals.

"Okay~ as you wish!"

Seeing that Chen Li insisted that Bals took out the key from the briefcase, he nodded!
