Chapter 1249 Visiting the English Temple Fair(1/2)
On the last day of February, under Suisui's deception, Mr. Lothar happily rented the White Rose Ski Resort at a high price that was enough to cover the wages of Leya and others as well as the maintenance costs of the castle, and promised to invest in the reconstruction from
Cable car route from ski resort to castle.
In the past few days, more than this has been negotiated. In the future, one-third of the ski instructors used by the White Rose Ski Resort will come from Inta's hunter families who have learned Chinese.
On the other hand, because this castle is rented in the name of the Golden Fleece, a considerable part of the castle's profits will also become the funds for the Golden Fleece's activities.
Correspondingly, the long hair of this golden fleece, ah no, the identity of the president was also given to the rich woman Kou Kou who provided money, effort and the venue.
And Suisui, who was hiding behind the scenes and planning all this, in addition to a commission, also got the position of "Deputy Chief of Staff".
Also not at a loss is the maintenance team led by Leya and his wife. In addition to still being responsible for the maintenance of the two castles, they are also responsible for the future operation of the castle hotel, and they will soon get the support of the Katenka sisters.
A commitment to help them recruit enough people.
At noon that day, everyone who had had enough fun at the castle took the sightseeing train together and left this quiet town and rushed to the airport.
After first sending away Kou Kou and her housekeeper, and then sending away the Katenka sisters and Lola, Wei Ran and Suisui kept the little follower Lu Xinda with them. For no other reason than this little girl can speak English.
"Let's go too." Carlos waved the ticket in his hand and took the three Weihan people on board the flight to London, England.
"Uncle Carlos, who is that collector?"
After the passenger plane took off, Suisui curiously asked in Chinese, and Lu Xinda, who was sitting next to her, immediately translated it into English intact.
"Mr. Henry is a Wall Street elite," Carlos explained with a smile. "Of course, he is also a military collector."
When Lu Xinda translated it into Chinese, Wei Ran immediately asked in German, "So he is an American? How did he find the rescue buoy?"
"Mr. Henry is indeed American, but he actually grew up in England as a child."
Carlos explained in detail, "He retired six months ago, and after that he just wanted to move back to England, so he went to Brighton and tried to pick a house that satisfied him."
"Then you discovered those things?" Wei Ran asked after translating them into Chinese.
Carlos spread his hands, "Not so lucky. At first, he just found an old photo of the tin can in the house he was interested in. He spent a lot of effort to find the place where the photo was taken."
"You're not really going to take this job that only costs 5,000 pounds, are you?" Suisui waited for Wei Ran to finish translating again, then asked in a low voice in Russian that only the two of them could understand.
"Let's see and then talk"
Wei Ran replied without any psychological pressure, "Anyway, the other party will bear the travel expenses, so just treat it as a fun trip. Besides, what do you mean it's only five thousand pounds? It's only forty or fifty thousand when converted into RMB."
“You might as well change it to Vietnamese Dong”
Suisui rolled her eyes, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You are considered a celebrity now. So many high-priced employments in the past have raised your worth. If you accept this five thousand yuan job this time,
For work, it will be difficult to raise the price in the future.”
"I will think about it carefully"
After Wei Ran responded, he changed to German and asked, "Carlos, is there anything worth visiting near Brighton?"
“If you go there in the summer, there are indeed many places worth visiting.”
Carlos spread his hands, "It's a pity that it's winter now. As far as I know, the only places to have fun there now are probably bars and museums."
“Looks like we picked the wrong season.”
Wei Ran echoed, saying that neither bars nor museums were places he and Suisui usually liked to go.
After chatting with each other, the flight finally landed smoothly at London Airport. After Carlos took them through customs, he guided them familiarly to the train bound for Brighton.
It only took less than 40 minutes for the group to arrive in Brighton. Not surprisingly, the unique cold and wet weather in the UK made them all gasp as they walked out of the train station.
Shivering.
"I hate this damn place, my joints are starting to hurt." Carlos grumbled, then took out his cell phone and made a call.
Soon, a black man in a trench coat trotted over and led them into a commercial vehicle that was big enough for everyone.
"Is Mr. Henry here?" Lawyer Carlos asked before the car door closed.
"Mr. Henry went to attend a local military fan event the day before yesterday."
The young black man who got into the cab replied as he slammed the door, "It was a four-day event, so he won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. He asked me to tell you and Mr. Victor that you can stay at home
When he comes back, if you are interested, you can go to the event to find him, and I will send you there then."
When Carlos translated this into German, Wei Ran immediately said, "If you can, take us to see the canned lobster first."
"No problem, please fasten your seat belt."
The black driver waited for Carlos to translate the words into English, then gave a kind reminder, and then drove the car smoothly and left the train station.
Next, the car left the city all the way north, then passed through a large area of farmland, and finally drove into a small farm.
Perhaps because of the season, at first glance, this farm did not seem to be growing any decent crops, and even the few large trees of unknown species had lost all their leaves.
While he was waiting, the commercial vehicle drove straight into a barn that was almost two stories high and stopped.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because of this, before he even got out of the car, he noticed the rescue buoy, which was more than four meters high and was painted with colorful graffiti.
Perhaps thanks to the protection of this barn, the buoy is indeed exceptionally well preserved as shown in the photo.
But what is different from the photo is that, perhaps due to the shooting angle, the cross-section of the base of the rescue buoy is not square, but a hexagon.
From this point alone, it can be determined that this life-saving buoy is most likely a "later improved model". Compared with the entry-level model, this buoy at least has a much larger internal space.
After pushing the door open and getting out of the car, Wei Ran, Suisui and Lu Xinda subconsciously looked around at their surroundings.
This barn built with wooden boards and steel frames contained stacks of large amounts of organic fertilizer and bales of fodder, as well as two tractors and various farming equipment that they could not recognize. So it was inevitable that the smell and hygiene inside
The conditions are not that pleasant either.
And the buoy, like a door god, was placed about four meters away from the entrance.
Behind it, there is a sandy land that occupies nearly half a third of the barn area. In the center of this sandy land enclosed by a wooden fence, there is also a set of children's slides and a set of children's slides hanging from the beams overhead.
Several sets of swings came down.
Looking at Carlos, who was walking down from the carriage and beating his knees at the moment, Wei Ran looked at each other. Wei Ran waited for the latter to nod indifferently, and then he and Suisui walked to the front of the buoy and walked around in a circle.
It was only then that he discovered that there were two iron cabinets with wire mesh windows on the wall next to the buoy.
Through the glass window, he could clearly see that there were many things stored in these two iron cabinets.
There are the ring I saw in the photo before and the finger buried in a salt shaker or a sugar shaker. There are also radios, signal guns, oil stoves, and oil lamps that look very old.
Batteries and radios, wine bottles and playing cards, even clothes, blankets, shoes, towels, etc. No need to ask, most of these things were once standard supplies in this rescue buoy.
"Go up and take a look?" Wei Ran asked Suisui beside him.
"Uh-huh!"
Suisui, who was already eager to try, nodded quickly and climbed up on the wooden ladder set up on the buoy. Immediately afterwards, Lu Xinda, who was acting as a follower, also climbed up curiously.
Unlike Suisui and Lu Xinda who were eager to get into the buoy with their mobile phones in hand, Wei Ran looked up at the mast of the buoy after climbing up.
On the top of the "control tower", the mast that should have been there has been broken at the middle, and clear tear marks can still be seen at the break.
And this injury, which cannot be seen in the photo, seems to be the only "flaw" of this buoy.
Just when he was stunned looking at the broken mast, bright lights suddenly lit up inside the "control tower".
Passing through the half-open iron door on the command tower, the first thing Wei Ran saw was a light bulb that was emitting a dazzling light.
"Come down quickly, this place is really nice!" Suisui exclaimed in surprise from inside the buoy.
Hearing this, Wei Ran climbed down the ladder. Then, he saw two double beds placed against the wall, saw the carpet with cat and mouse patterns spread under his feet, and even saw the bed facing the
On the cabinets of the two beds were TVs, game consoles, various game cards, game discs, and even books, comics, and various toys. There were also wallpapers around them and on the ceiling.
Especially under the big ass TV, there is a refrigerator that is not too big, but looks particularly old. There is also an orange intercom hanging on the door of the refrigerator.
"If there was such a secret base when I was a kid, I could live here for a summer vacation." Suisui said with envy.
"I had a game console like this when I was a kid," Lu Xinda said with memories, pointing to the game console that was still connected to the TV.
"These are two... no, this seems to be a secret base used by generations of children." Wei Ran walked to the edge of the cabinet and pointed to the photo frames placed on it.
Hearing this, Suisui and Lu Xinda, who were studying and trying to turn on the TV, immediately stood up and came over.
At the focus of the three people's gaze are four photo frames. Among these four photo frames, two are black and white, and the other two are color.
The protagonists in the photos are also children. In one photo, there is one, in two, there are two, and in one, there are four little ones.
Moreover, these little guys, who seemed to span several generations, were obviously very happy when taking pictures, and the background of the pictures were all standing on the "deck" of this rescue buoy.
Especially in a color photo of two children, the two little guys were specially dressed in pirate and medieval navy costumes.
Of course, even in the photos, it can be seen that their clothes seem to be made of newspapers and various colored papers.
"Who would be willing to sell a secret base with so many memories?" Suisui couldn't help but mutter.
"It will happen when you are short of money." Lu Xinda couldn't help but give a true answer that was inconsistent with her age.
"Children have their own joys, and adults have their own worries."
Wei Ran sighed, "Just like our friend Makar, his farm was almost bankrupt. If he had such a buoy, he would probably sell it even if he was reluctant to part with it as long as he could exchange it for money."
"That's right," Suisui said with a grin and clenched her fists, "So I have to make money, make a lot of money."
"Stop being inspirational here." Wei Ran touched the top of the other person's head in a daze, "Let's go, go up."
"Aren't you going to check this place again?" Suisui asked in surprise.
"The renovation here has been so thorough that nothing can be seen anymore." Wei Ran pointed to the top of his head, "Let's go take a look at the contents of the two iron cabinets."
