Chapter 288 Unboxing and Benefits
If it were an ordinary person, even if he was not really interested in viewing the treasure, he would still cooperate in the performance.
But Xu Guohua is really honest. If he says he doesn't care, he means he doesn't care, even if it is a treasure worth a fortune.
Instead of watching these things, he might as well go to the training ground and scold the new bodyguards who are in training.
However, this is also the reason why Fang Hexuan trusts him and never asks about things that are not related to his work and life.
Even though Fang Hexuan knew that Captain Xu had another identity, he felt more at ease and calm.
"Haha, Captain Xu, even if you are interested, it's not too much to ask to stay and help unpack, right?"
Xu Guohua then nodded and did not refute any further.
Fang Hexuan approached the neatly stacked boxes, knocked on them, and felt the surface to see if it was damp. After looking for a long time, he finally chose the largest wooden box and pointed at it and said to Xu Guohua, "Open this one. It's so big, and I don't know what good things are inside it."
There were only two of them in the entire warehouse, and the bodyguards guarding outside were not allowed to step in.
Da Yanming and his team did not write a cargo manifest before packing and shipping, so even though the boxes appeared to be of different sizes, there were no labels on them.
This gave Fang Hexuan a sense of excitement and anticipation when opening a blind box.
Xu Guohua, wearing combat gloves, picked up a bar from the side and spent about three minutes carefully prying open the big box.
Fang Hexuan immediately moved closer to observe. After a wooden board on the outside side was lifted up, a pile of thick straw fell crookedly from inside.
He nodded, very satisfied with Dayanming's caution.
Xu Guohua was not asked to do the job of removing the straw, but Fang Hexuan did it himself.
I don't know how much straw those guys stuffed into the box, but he just dug it out and felt like he could bury himself.
Finally, a very obvious trunk and two fan-shaped ears allowed Fang Hexuan to see the general outline clearly.
Although Fang Hexuan did not understand archaeological identification, his limited knowledge of cultural relics told him that this was a very popular Ganesha statue in Gubalak.
He took the flashlight from Xu Guohua and shone it inside. He saw a big belly, four hands, and a crown, confirming that his previous judgment was correct.
When bright light shines on the statue, the obvious patina can be clearly seen, so, as expected, this is a bronze statue of Ganesha.
Based on the size of the box, it can be estimated that the height of the statue is between 1.5 meters and 1.6 meters, and its volume is also considerable.
Fang Hexuan continued to dig out some straw, then carefully looked at the crown and did not find any gems or anything like that.
Although there are some minor regrets, it is not disappointing at all.
If this bronze statue is really placed in the mansion of Liberty City to be built in the future, it will still have a sense of history and artistic style.
Fang Hexuan chose another box that was not too big, with a length, width and height of about 1000*600*800 (mm), and motioned Xu Guohua to help open it.
This box gave Fang Hexuan a big surprise. Inside was a treasure made of pure gold.
A shirtless god who looks like Barak is lying on a bed with five snake heads at the head of the bed, five snake tails at the foot of the bed, and the sides of the bed are covered with snake bodies.
Fang Hexuan didn't know much about the cultural relics in the country, let alone Barak's.
The Ganesha was too famous, but he had no idea what the cultural relics exposed before him were called.
He just nodded pretentiously and said:
"The shape is so beautiful, the craftsmanship is so exquisite, it's such a great treasure!" Xu Guohua still had no expression on his face, as if he didn't hear what Fang Hexuan said at all.
Seeing the other party like this, Fang Hexuan felt a little embarrassed.
If a layman shows off in front of another layman and the other person is willing to cooperate, he can feel a sense of accomplishment. But if you talk for a long time and the other person is completely uninterested, isn't that boring?
It looks like pure gold. Fang Hexuan doesn't know if his guess is correct. If it is really made of gold, this statue of the god and the snake alone is estimated to weigh dozens of kilograms. Converted into US dollars, it is simply too beautiful.
Thinking of this, his breathing began to quicken unconsciously. He looked at Xu Guohua again, and the other party still showed no emotion.
"Captain Xu, please personally supervise and repack all the boxes that were pried open. Thank you!"
Xu Guohua nodded, still without saying a word.
Fang Hexuan then opened several wooden boxes one after another. There were pure gold statues of Sakyamuni Buddha meditating on a lotus throne, square stone carvings with intricate carvings of figures or gods he didn't recognize, exquisite mythological wood carvings, and wooden boxes containing very old boxes. When he opened them, he found they were full of gold coins of various shapes, gems, headdresses, necklaces, rings, etc.
Although the box was not big, it was enough to shock Fang Hexuan.
He took the box out of the wooden box, opened it again, and asked Xu Guohua:
"Pick one, it's my gift to you!"
Xu Guohua glanced at it casually and shook his head:
"No, the salary you give me is enough for my expenses."
"Haha, but why did I hear that Captain Xu was helping his fallen comrades support their families?"
Xu Guohua's expression froze, then he sighed and said:
"We are all brothers who eat from the same pot. Now that they are gone, I can't just ignore their families!"
"Really? You can choose one for your sister-in-law or nephew or niece!"
"No, don't show off your wealth. Giving them something too valuable will only harm them!"
"Well, since Captain Xu is so upright, I, as the boss, can't be outdone by you, right?"
"Investigate all the people from the mainland who work for Blackwater International and ask them if they are also helping their comrades like you. Tell me the unified figures and I will make up another one every month."
Xu Guohua's expressionless face before was like a thousand-year-old ice, but now he showed a hint of emotion. He sighed and said:
"Mr. Fang, you have nothing to do with them, it's inappropriate to do this."
Fang Hexuan closed the box filled with gold coins and jewels, and said with a casual smile:
"Some of you may die while performing missions in the future. When that happens, I will definitely support your families. I can support one person, a hundred people, or a thousand people. I don't mind that little bit of money!"
"I know Mr. Fang is as rich as a country, but there are so many people suffering in the world. Can you help them all?"
"Haha, I'm not richer than a country yet!"
"Just think of it as a benefit from my boss. No need to thank me."
"If I really want to thank you, then I'd like to trouble Captain Xu to clean up this place. These are all my treasures, and I can't let them get damaged or lost."
After saying that, he took the box out of the wooden box with one hand and walked straight out of the warehouse.
Xu Guohua looked at Fang Hexuan's departing back, was silent for a long while, and finally sighed again.
Thanks to Huo Chiyan for the monthly ticket!
