"Thank you for your blessing." Liang En was still a little happy about what Mr. Scold said about how to arrange his life, so he raised his glass with a smile as a gesture and took a sip of champagne from it.
Just when he put down his wine glass and was about to say something, he accidentally saw Pierce walking in through the door.
"Please wait a moment. I'll say hello to my friend." After seeing Pierce, Liang En immediately greeted Mr. Scout, and then went to the door to bring Pierce over.
Pierce was invited this time mainly because the Emerald Thrift Store itself was a partner this time. This was because Liang En didn't have enough money after discovering the minerals, and he was alone, so he was a little too lonely. The reason drew them in.
While the Emerald Thrift Store is at best a minor partner in this massive collaboration, it still gets the invite.
After receiving the invitation, Pierce immediately called Liang En and informed him. Because the invitation was for the emerald thrift store, Liang En, who is a shareholder, could naturally come in.
However, after Liang En found out which press conference he was attending, he simply told Pierce that he had also been invited, so they would meet at the London venue.
"I didn't expect you to be able to design jewelry." Pierce patted Liang En on the shoulder, touched him with the wine glass in his hand, and said, "Don't tell me this is what you learned from watching videos when you were in college." of."
Because they majored in archeology, they naturally learned a lot about ancient cultural relics. For example, they squatted in the dormitory together to finish their homework and watched a lot of videos related to jewelry and jewelry design.
So after learning that Liang En is a jewelry designer, Pierce immediately thought of the experience of watching documentaries about jewelry designers when he was in college.
"I think it might have something to do with this." Liang En smiled, then changed the subject and asked. "By the way, I remember you should have come here at the very beginning, why are you late for almost an hour all of a sudden?"
"It's mainly because I received an invitation from Discovery Channel, so I wasted a little time." After hearing Liang En's question, Pierce immediately reacted, and at the same time took out a letter from his arms.
"This is an invitation letter specially sent by the other party, saying that it is to make a documentary about the missing ships in the Northern Sea Route. As for the specific situation, it is in this letter."
After hearing what Pierce said, Liang En immediately walked to a corner of the hall with him, and then opened the letter.
Sure enough, this is an invitation letter to the Emerald Thrift Store to send people to explore the Arctic Circle in northern Canada to search for the missing HMS Erebus and HMS Terror and the crew members on board.
"The prerequisite for this kind of search is to have a boat, and a boat capable of underwater exploration and salvage." After reading the contents of the letter, Liang En frowned.
Because among all the search work, the underwater search work is the most expensive and the most difficult one.
In particular, Liang En didn't have his own boat at all, and at the same time, he couldn't afford much cash to rent the boat in a short period of time, so it was almost impossible to search for those sunken ships.
Therefore, Liang En is now more inclined to decline this invitation. After all, the program production team will not pay for it, so they are doomed to not gain much from this exploration without a boat.
However, it is indeed a pity to give up like this. After all, after the expedition disappeared, the Admiralty offered a reward of up to [-] pounds to find the missing expedition.
You must know that 300 pounds in that era is completely different from [-] pounds in modern times. Considering that at that time, a middle-class breadwinner only needed [-] pounds a year, this money is definitely not a small amount of money.
This money still exists now, and after long years of operation, it is as high as 260 million pounds after tax. In addition, the Franklin family, the leader of the expedition at the time, also offered a reward of 70 pounds after tax to anyone who found and brought back Franklin's bones.
In other words, if you really find the target, you can indeed get a lot of money, not to mention the various honors that follow, but the prerequisite is an elite expedition team and a lot of corresponding equipment.
"Sorry to interrupt." Just when Liang En was about to tell Pierce to give up this matter, Mr. Scudder, who followed out of curiosity, heard something, so he said from the side, "I seem to listen to you Did you say you received an invitation to explore?"
"Yes, that's right." Liang En shrugged and said, "Unfortunately, there are a lot of underwater ruins in this expedition, and a professional team and a boat are needed to explore them, so a small organization like us can only give up."
"This problem is easy to solve." After hearing what Liang En said, Scudder immediately became excited. "Do you remember the boat that went to the Sinai Peninsula last time? My boat can be used for this expedition."
For Skold, who was widowed in his early years but his children are very competitive, his only hobby now is to go out for adventure, so when it comes to adventure, he is naturally in a state of excitement.
Not to mention that unlike every time I went on an expedition before, I would return empty-handed. When I went out to explore with Liang En these few times, I could get a lot of benefits every time.
Although, as the former head of a family dominated by shipping, Mr. Skold did not particularly care about the gains in wealth, but he was very concerned about whether his exploration work could make discoveries.
This is the same as when you say you like fishing when you talk about hobbies. It is a very normal hobby to like fishing, but it will be miserable if you go fishing every time you go to the air force.
At least when the group of rich people gathered in the past, Mr. Skold would always be the butt of jokes when those rich people of the same level as him gathered.
Fortunately, these few expeditions saved Mr. Scudder's face and made him the center of attention in those gatherings. Therefore, after hearing that Liang En and the others were going to explore, he immediately asked if he wanted to help.
"Our goal this time is to be located in the Arctic Circle in northern Canada. Although winter is not over, there will be a lot of ice floes and even icebergs at the target location, so ordinary ships may—" Liang En said to Scudder seriously said Mr.
Although Scudder's ship is called an expedition yacht, there are still differences in exploration in different places, so Liang En felt that it would be more appropriate for him to ask clearly in this regard.
"You mean the waters within the Canadian Arctic Circle? That's where my boat is suitable for activities." After hearing what Liang En said, Mr. Scudder became even more excited.
"My yacht was actually an ocean-going icebreaker used to break ice in the Arctic Circle to open up waterways, and when I bought it for renovation, it was specially strengthened in this regard."
"So let alone sailing in the Arctic Circle in autumn, my ship can even conduct various investigations in the Arctic Circle in winter."
"In addition, I bought an underwater robot that can be used in harsh conditions for treasure hunting. The maximum water depth can even dive to 5000 meters, so it is fully capable of this kind of underwater exploration work."
