Chapter 86 Resentment from the Joseph Family!
Harry Joseph's obsession is to find the treasure left behind by his grandfather.
However, this matter has gone through two generations of efforts, but almost nothing has been achieved.
His grandfather left so suddenly that there was no time to tell the rest of the family about the hidden treasures.
Fortunately, Joseph Sr. had already converted part of his treasure into physical assets at that time, so everyone remaining in Joseph's family had a job and was guaranteed to have enough food and clothing.
Gradually, most people no longer remember those treasures. Only Harry heard his grandfather talk about these things when he was a child, and he still thinks about it now.
However, after many times when his hopes turned to disappointment and nothing came of it, he began to think of other ways.
Advertise and get treasure hunters involved!
This kind of thing is not new. There are many similar treasure legends in the beautiful country. Many of the officers who returned from the battlefields in Asia and Europe brought treasures with them.
But where these treasures went in the end, no one knows.
After convincing other people in the family, Harry began to implement this plan.
At the same time, he is constantly improving his treasure map.
When the plan brought hundreds of thousands of dollars in income to the family in the first year, other members praised Harry's smart mind.
But Harry still has the real treasure in mind!
He believes that the treasure left behind by his grandfather is definitely much more than this!
On this day, when Clement, a distant relative of Joseph's family who was in charge of guarding the manor, called and told Harry that someone had found the treasure, Harry was overjoyed!
Although Clemont vividly described how he had secured more benefits for the family, Harry did not agree with his behavior after hearing it.
But after hearing that the other party was a Chinese, Harry didn't care anymore.
Now that it was verified that there was indeed treasure in the manor, Harry began to verify the accuracy of his treasure map!
His treasure map was compiled based on his grandfather's chat records and information in some notes.
Among them is the gate point!
However, there are at least dozens of points collected here. Harry had verified a dozen of them before and gave up after finding nothing.
Now he feels hope is coming again!
Harry plans to dig out the treasure himself!
However, he told other members of the family about this plan, but others did not support it.
One of his uncles advised him:
"If you really dig out the treasure, treasure hunters will no longer come to the manor. Then the manor will lose a stable source of income!"
"Compared with the unknown amount of wealth, we hope for a stable source of income. Although it is not much, at least it is guaranteed to be available every year!"
Everyone else in the family had the same idea, and Harry was helpless.
However, the changes in the next few days strengthened Harry's determination.
What Zhu Yu said at the gate of the manor was confirmed by those young people and immediately spread among the treasure hunter circle.
The next day, there were fewer treasure hunters coming to Joseph's manor.
First of all, many people think that since the treasure has been dug out, there is no need to come back again.
After all, New York is not the only place where treasures can be unearthed.
Secondly, just such a thing destroyed the reputation of the Joseph family.
No one wants the treasure they have worked so hard to dig up to be plundered by others - and that's not what was agreed upon.
Clemont used his short-sighted vision to bring huge losses to the Joseph family!
In the next few days, there were fewer treasure hunters coming here every day, sometimes one, sometimes even none at all!
George also felt a little regretful after the quarrel with Zhu Yu. He originally planned to find a chance to reconcile, but Zhu Yu didn't answer his call at all.
News in the circle also reached George's ears, and he immediately attributed Zhu Yu's anger to the Joseph family's breach of trust.
Although George was not good at digging treasures, he was still considered an old man in the circle. He severely condemned the Joseph family, and the news spread immediately.
Then no more treasure hunters came to Joseph Manor!
After members of the Joseph family understood the truth of the matter, they scolded Clemont and fired him. But what had happened was irreversible.
Harry felt that doing so was worthy of the Chinese man. After all, he had been fired.
But he underestimated the importance of credit to treasure hunters. Although people in the circle boycotted the Joseph family, it was not to redress Zhu Yu's grievances, but because they believed that this approach was wrong.
They don't want this kind of thing to happen to them in the future.
Therefore, the remedial measures taken by the Joseph family had minimal effect.
Without anyone coming, the manor would have no income. No one wanted to live here, so Harry got angry and started his own excavation plan!
In his heart, all the treasures belong to his family! In fact, Clemont did nothing wrong - giving half of the gold to the Chinese people was enough to deserve them!
So this time, he called Clemont to help him dig together, which was regarded as compensation for Clemont.
Harry promised that 10% of the treasure unearthed by Claremont would be his.
Claremont was naturally very happy!
He said excitedly:
"Harry, I believe we will be able to dig up treasure!"
Harry took Clemont and started digging point by point in the manor.
The first three points yielded nothing. Harry was okay, but Clemont was a little discouraged.
At the fourth point, Harry was about to start digging, but Clemont stopped him:
"Harry, someone has already excavated this spot."
Clemont is guarding here every day and is more professional than Harry about the places he has excavated.
Harry looked carefully and saw that there were indeed traces of excavation.
He was a little discouraged and shoved the shovel up angrily.
Then his expression changed!
There's something hard down there!
It doesn’t look like a stone!
Harry hurriedly dug twice and shoveled out a rotten wooden box!
This box has been destroyed and the contents are gone.
However, Harry knew that there was definitely treasure inside!
But he was poached!
"Farke! Someone dug him away!" Harry was furious!
Clemont also looked confused. He didn't see what happened at that time! If someone excavated something, at least he could observe it - after all, the manor is so big.
After scolding for a long time, Harry calmed down and asked:
"Clermont, can you tell when this was dug?"
Investigate, this matter must be investigated!
"About a day or two!" Clemont dug up the pit with a shovel, "It shouldn't take more than three days."
"Check! We must find out who has been to the manor in the past three days!" Harry said through gritted teeth, "We must take back the treasures belonging to the Joseph family!"
Clemont was also very angry, and he was part of it!
"I'm going to get the agreement. There's information on it!"
Clemont quickly brought a stack of agreements and handed them to Harry:
Chapter completed!
