Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets Chapter 58 - 58 58 Roberts Advice
Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Robert’s Advice Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Robert’s Advice While packing up to leave, Jason asked Sean Knight with so confusion:
“Bosuns, these things inside the containers are so valuable, why were they abandoned by the original cargo owner?”
Sean patiently explained to his little brother:
“It’s not that they were intentionally abandoned. For so things, like the bronze cannons auctioned today, the original collector has died, and his son doesn’t know how much these things inside are actually worth.
There’s also the situation where the original owner disappears or dies, and then no one claims the container.
In fact, the most common situation is that after the container is sent here, the cargo owner, for various reasons, doesn’t imdiately pick up the stuff and later goes bankrupt, moves away, or leaves for other reasons, making it not worth claiming.”
“Or they simply can’t afford the rent or the final paynt, so they give up on it altogether.”
Jason nodded thoughtfully and asked:
“So, why are these things wrapped so tightly? If everyone could see the stuff displayed, wouldn’t it sell for a higher price?”
Sean laughed at Jason’s layman words.
He had thought the sa before, so it didn’t surprise him that Jason thought the sa and explained patiently:
“First of all, for the original cargo owner or shipper, these things were not intended for auction, right?”
“Well… that’s true.” Jason scratched his head.
“So, the most valuable things must be the best protected, right? Covered with cloth, wrapped in packaging, and for sea transportation, wrapped in waterproof cloth, right?”
Jason laughed:
“I’ve always thought of it from an auctioneer’s perspective; I was wrong. If I were the cargo owner, I would definitely want my things to be well preserved.”
“Yeah.” Sean continued to explain, “You see, the most valuable things we usually see in containers are often inside. One of the main reasons is to prevent theft.”
“Theft?”
“Yeah.” Sean pointed at the container and said, “A pipe wrench can unlock it, and so people can unlock it with a piece of wire. If soone wanted to steal it, wouldn’t it be too easy? But it’s not easy to move, so the good stuff is inside, blocked by so other things outside, at least to hide it, right?”
After parting ways with Jason, Sean called Mr. John.
“John, I want to ask, is Robert reliable?”
Hearing Sean’s question, Mr. John sensed that Sean might be making an important decision and imdiately asked:
“In what aspect?”
“Later, I intend to make a deal with Robert involving about five hundred thousand US dollars.”
“If that’s the case, Robert is reliable.” Mr. John said slowly, “In terms of credibility, Robert has never had a problem in dealing with businesses at the ten-million-dollar level. Although he is not famous, his reputation is very good.”
“Alright, thank you.” Sean understood.
Next, Sean called Robert.
“Mr. Robert, I wanted to ask if that matter you ntioned last ti is still valid?”
Robert’s tone on the other side was calm:
“Mr. Knight, are you talking about the original will? It’s valid.”
“Alright, let’s et up then!” Sean said imdiately.
Carrying more than five hundred thousand in cash, Sean was feeling a bit nervous.
“Alright.” Robert sent an address, and Sean imdiately drove there.
It was an indoor parking lot.
Upon arriving at the location, Sean was feeling jittery. He took out his pistol and checked the bullets – even though it was illegal.
But safety first, right?
After all, he had more than five hundred thousand on him, and in that place, small hoodlums could kill for ten-plus dollars – more than fifty thousand thrown into the gutter could trigger a shootout!
Robert appeared not far ahead, and Sean looked with the Sky Eye and saw that he had a gun tucked behind his waist.
Well, it’s not too dangerous.
Sean didn’t get out of the car and waited for Robert to co over.
“Are you sure you need that will?” Robert arrived at the car window, Sean rolled down the glass, and Robert asked.
“Sure. Not only the will, but if we get the will and make sure it’s the sa as the copy, I also hope you can help find a reliable lawyer to win the lawsuit.”
With so surprise, Robert said with a half-smile:
“For the sake of Mr. John’s face, we gave you a preferential price for the will. But if you want to hire a lawyer and still want to win the lawsuit, the fee will start at a million dollars!”
A million!
Sean felt bitter in his heart.
For a mont, he wanted to take the money and go ho.
To hell with the will! To hell with the inheritance!
But then, thinking about the Sky Eye’s advancent and Uncle’s last wish, Sean felt it was still necessary to follow through.
Of course, optimistically speaking, if he got the will, Sean could directly contact Elson Johnson and try to settle the matter peacefully.
However, the odds were slim.
“What do you say, how to decide?” Robert asked Sean with a knowing smile, “Do you want to solve it yourself or have us help you?”
“Let’s get the will first.” Sean gritted his teeth. It was just over the mark, and in the blink of an eye, he’d lost more than half his money. From now on, he’d have to work hard to make money.
Otherwise, the lawyer’s fee would kill him!
“Okay.” Robert reached out, “Give the money. The real will will appear in front of you within a week.”
Sean really believed in the amazing powers of Robert and the people behind him.
Giving the bag with five hundred thousand to Robert, Sean felt a pang of pain.
Though the money ca quickly, it was truly earned by him!
In the end, it could only be exchanged for a piece of paper!
Alright, maybe it could also bring tenfold or even a hundredfold return.
Gamble it is.
Robert took the bag, opened it to check, and then said to Sean:
“Sean, I admire your ability to make money!
But let give you a word of advice: until you show enough strength, it’s best to keep a low profile!
Think about your skin color and the looks people around you are giving you lately. Don’t just think about making money and ignore the dangers around you!”
After speaking, Robert didn’t wait for Sean’s response, and turned to leave with the bag. In a short while, he disappeared around the corner.
Sean did not drive away for a long ti.
Robert’s words made him reflect seriously.
Recently, in order to make five hundred thousand, Sean had been in a real hurry.
Although he had been ntally prepared and had taken so precautions beforehand.
But now, listening to Robert, it seed his preparations were far from enough!
At least psychologically, the sense of crisis was not that strong.
Did he get carried away?
Was he too impatient?
Or did he simply beat up two thugs and think it was no big deal?
Sean almost broke out in a cold sweat!
Think about it, this was the Beautiful Country where there were shootings every day, not the dostic!
He had to start taking things seriously!
As he drove away slowly, Sean contemplated this issue in his mind.>
At first, it was a ss, and then Sean ca to his senses.
Just be more alert and deal with everything as it cos!
