Chapter 1,249 The Treasure of Nicholas II
…
Although Liu Dong didn't want to choose a large yacht here that could be compared with his "Gonggong", it should be a double-decker or above yacht that can accommodate people.￠￡
"This is the one!"
Near the end of the page, Liu Dong finally found a yacht he liked.
It’s not too big, but judging from the technical parameters and brief introduction below the picture, it can barely meet his requirements.
"Mr. Liu, this 'Starfish' yacht is one of the best yachts we have here, with a length of 18 meters and a width of 4.2 meters. It has an American Mercury 220hp ultra-bass purple oil inboard and outboard engine, marine air-conditioning, and a complete TV sound system.
, luxurious interior, a double bed in the master bedroom, an auxiliary bedroom, two bathrooms, one with a shower room, a kitchen, a living room, a sofa and coffee table in the living room, double upper and lower controls, a full teak decorative deck...
!”
"Stop, stop, you don't need to introduce me, just tell me how much it would cost to rent this yacht for three days!" Liu Dong quickly interrupted the other party's eloquent words.
"The deposit is 15 million rubles, and each rental day is 300,000 rubles!" Ryzhkov said with a smile.
"That's it, let's sign the contract!"
It's just tens of thousands of Chinese coins a day. Liu Dong, who is now more concerned about the huge wealth he is going to find, doesn't care about this at all!
"Just take a moment and I'll get you the contract right away!"
Liu Dong's cheerfulness immediately made Ryzhkov smile.
Liu Dong, who had already asked his company to prepare a large sum of rubles for him before coming to Russia, smoothly swiped his card to settle the bill and signed a yacht rental contract.
"Mr. Liu, our company also provides drivers and waiters, if you need it...!" After signing the contract and receiving the commission, Ryzhkov once again promoted the company's other businesses.
"No need. I can drive the yacht myself!"
This time he rented the yacht not just for fun. Moreover, what he was going to do next was too sensitive, let alone let outsiders know.
So before Ryzhkov could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Dong.
"Okay, please come with me, the yacht is parked at the pier!"
After saying that, Ryzhkov took Liu Dong and two others out of the company. Because the company was still some distance from the dock, the three of them used cars to travel.
It didn't take long before we arrived at the dock area near the river in Irkutsk. Of course, this was only a part of the dock area. Liu Dong, who got off the car, also saw many yachts parked on the shore.
But most of them are single-decker steamboats that can carry four, six, or eight people!
Under the leadership of Ryzhkov, Liu Dong and the two successfully found the yacht he rented.
"This pier belongs to our company. If Mr. Liu comes back from his trip, he can put the yacht here. It will be guarded by our company's full-time security guards. It is very safe!"
"I know, and if nothing else, I can't wait to drive it around!"
After understanding the meaning of Liu Dong's words, Ryzhkov said goodbye and left.
After the other party left, Liu Dong, who had long been familiar with yacht driving, quickly drove Liu Shan away from the dock. Then he followed the course of the Irkutsk River and headed towards Lake Baikal, which is dozens of kilometers away.
.
…
Lake Baikal. Its name comes from the ancient Sushen language "Beihaier Lake". It was called "Beihai" in the Han Dynasty. It is located in the southern part of Eastern Siberia, Russia. It is crescent-shaped. It is the oldest lake in the world and the seventh largest lake in the world.
.
In the past thousands of years, Lake Baikal has been the main activity area of the nomadic people in northern China in ancient China. It was the land of Su Wu's sheep herding in the Han Dynasty and has been China's inherent territory for a long time in history.
The lake is rich in animal and plant resources, has good water quality, and has a transparency as deep as 40.5 meters. It is known as the "Bright Eye of Siberia".
The total water volume of Lake Baikal is 23.6 trillion cubic meters, with the deepest point reaching 1,637 meters. It contains about 20% of the earth's total fresh water, which is equivalent to the combined water volume of the five Great Lakes in North America. It exceeds the water volume of the entire Baltic Sea and is the largest water storage in the world.
It is a freshwater lake with abundant sunshine and more than 300 hot springs. It is the largest health resort in eastern Russia.
However, Liu Dong did not come here to recuperate. In fact, he came here for a huge treasure.
"Treasure of Nicholas II" is the name of the treasure that Liu Dong is pursuing.
Of course, this treasure also has another name 'Kolchak Treasure'!
Nikolay Alexandrovich Romanov, the last tsar of the Russian Empire, reigned from 1894 to 1917. He was the last tsar of the Romanov dynasty of Russia.
When he ascended the throne, the tsarist system was already crumbling in Russia. He expanded externally, but his internal reforms were unsatisfactory. The news that the Russian army lost troops and generals on the front line in World War I completely destroyed the emperor's image as a "little father" in the hearts of the people.
The magnificent February Revolution and October Revolution broke out one after another. The former not only overthrew the rule of Emperor Xi Jinping, but also ultimately ended his life.
However, although Nicholas II, the last czar, passed away, he left behind 1,600 tons of gold, a library of hundreds of thousands of carats of diamonds and jewelry, and tens of millions of pieces of gold collected by the emperors of the Romanov dynasty over more than 300 years.
Thousands of precious works of art!
Except for a small part of these things that fell into the hands of the Soviet Union, the successor of the Russian Empire, most of them were transported to Siberia by Kolchak.
After the Russian October Revolution in 1917, Kolchak, the former commander of the Russian fleet, gathered the remnants of the Russian army to organize anti-Soviet armed forces, established an independent government in Omsk, and launched a fierce battle with the Soviet Red Army. In November 1919, Om
Sksk was captured by the Red Army. In order to preserve his strength, Kolchak led his 1.2 million troops across more than 6,000 kilometers of Siberia, preparing to flee to the Pacific coast to seek support from Japan in order to make a comeback.
Among the mighty escape team, there is also a shocking secret - a batch of gold treasures with a total weight of up to 1,600 tons, an astonishing Russian diamond library, and various precious royal works of art.
They were loaded into 28 armed escort train carriages and transported to the Far East thousands of kilometers away. However, no one expected that shortly after the team set off, the temperature dropped suddenly from minus 30 degrees Celsius at the time of departure to minus 60 degrees Celsius.
In the severe cold that had never happened in a century, the train ran out of fuel, and Kolchak had no choice but to use sleds to pull the carriages containing gold and jewelry through the snow and ice of Siberia. The escorts and horses died one after another in the extreme cold, and eventually
The entire army was wiped out while marching to Lake Baikal.
These huge treasures became "ownerless" and were abandoned on the frozen lake. As the lake thawed, they finally sank to the bottom of Lake Baikal together with the carriages!
Lake Baikal is the deepest and oldest freshwater lake in the world, with an area of 31,500 square kilometers and an average depth of about 730 meters. The thickness of the lake bottom sediments exceeds 8 kilometers. This depth is comparable to the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans.
Unfathomable depth, huge storage capacity, undercurrents, tides, strong storms, big waves, ever-increasing rift valleys, geomagnetic anomalies, etc. all hinder treasure hunters!
To this day, nearly eighty years have passed, and people still have not found the whereabouts of these huge treasures.
However, Liu Dong, who has strong self-reliance and unparalleled relic light, has his sights set on this huge treasure left over from history!
According to the current gold price of US$400 per ounce, 1,600 tons of gold can bring him a huge wealth of more than US$20 billion.
If you add diamond jewelry and works of art, this number will be even larger!
This is undoubtedly a powerful temptation that is hard to refuse for Liu Dong, who is now in urgent need of funds.
The treasure of Nicholas II in Lake Baikal is also the ultimate goal of Liu Dong's trip to the northeast. As for the treasure of Genghis Khan, it is just an extravagant wish of Liu Dong before realizing this goal.
It would be better if you can find it, but even if you can't find it, it doesn't matter. Because the more precious treasure of Nicholas II is definitely Liu Dong's ultimate goal.
However, even if you know that the treasure is in Lake Baikal, it is not that easy to find it. After all, this is an ocean with an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers, almost the same as Taiwan Island, and it is still growing!
Therefore, until dark, Liu Dong could not find even a single gold bar!
Although he knew it would not be easy, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a little disappointed!
Originally he wanted to continue searching, but looking at Liu Shan who was suffering from seasickness, vomiting and diarrhea, when the sky was about to get dark, Liu Dong had no choice but to drive the yacht back to the yacht company's private room in Irkutsk.
pier.
After leaving the yacht in the custody of the other party, Liu Dong supported Liu Shan and took a taxi back to the hotel.
"The five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and the earth and the earth are in control of each other, but I don't know why you are seasick and so sick?"
Looking at Liu Shan, who had long since lost his warrior spirit and turned from a land tiger into a soft-footed shrimp, Liu Dong couldn't help but shake his head.
"Chairman!"
Just when Liu Dong returned to the presidential suite of the hotel, he unexpectedly ran into Guo Kai, the president of Pacific Petroleum Industry Company.
"You came early?"
"I just got here less than half an hour ago!"
After he finished speaking, Guo Kai quickly went over to help Liu Shan.
"No, this guy is dead. You can't carry him. I can do it myself! You sit down for a while, and I will help this guy back to the room and come back to you!"
"It's okay, I'll just help you. It's just sitting down anyway!"
Unlike Feng Jianhui's casualness in front of Liu Dong, Guo Kai, who has less contact with him, although he is more than ten years older than Liu Dong, still remains respectful and cautious when facing this young chairman with a legendary experience.
.
Seeing Guo Kai's insistence, Liu Dong nodded with a smile and said nothing more.
