Chapter 307: Chapter 249: You have Zhang Liang’s plan, I have...
The tribe’s only valuable assets now are the land and that sacrificial hall that they can no longer ignore, like chicken ribs.
If they can exchange it for five hundred thousand dollars, everyone in the tribe could have a better life, whether they choose to settle outside or stay here!
Eckram whispered to his father:
"Agree, father! This is our only chance! If not, the hall could be occupied by the authorities, and we won’t be left with anything..."
Ellie Hosk is a wise old man. He was still considering why Sean Knight would spend 500,000 dollars to preserve the hall.
It’s not to mention the land. Now, in Kazakhstan, there is a shortage of people and an abundance of land. The land in this remote area is definitely not valuable.
With 500,000 dollars, Sean Knight could entirely set up a farm near a metropolis like Almaty. The transportation would be convenient, and it would be easy to find workers.
Then there must be something in the hall that attracted Sean Knight!
However, Ellie Hosk obviously did not see as clearly as his son. Eckram perceived his father’s reason for hesitation and continued to persuade:
"Father, did you forget? We have searched around and even under the main hall, but found nothing! Saat even bought the metal detector at a high price from the city, but didn’t find any treasures hidden! Even if there is, it’s not something we can find... With this 500,000 dollars, we can comfortably move to the city!"
Eckram carries no great ambitions. He simply does not want to live here anymore.
How good the urban life is!
Even settling in a house in a town near the city and find a job would be much better than here!
Ellie Hosk sighed, nodded, and agreed.
They brought Sean Knight to the huge felt tent. Firstly, Ellie Hosk asked Eckram to send the experts away.
The experts obviously did not want to leave, and the one leading evidently guessed that the terms Sean Knight proposed had moved Ellie Hosk. He shouted loudly:
"You can’t do this! They’re Chinese! You can’t give our ancestors’ things to them!"
But the tribal residents ignored him. Following Eckram’s lead, they stuffed the experts into the car, threatened them, and the driver immediately drove off in a puff of smoke.
Of course, the words left in the air by the expert were, "I’ll come back!"
At this moment, Ellie Hosk began to summon the other adults in the tribe.
Meanwhile, Sean Knight opportunistically pulled out the copper seal.
"This is my token." Sean Knight showed the copper seal to Ellie Hosk.
He thought this copper seal had some connection with the hole in the altar.
However, Ellie Hosk obviously didn’t recognize this copper seal. He did not express the joy of seeing the seal.
But Ellie Hosk said with a smile on his face:
"That’s great! At least our sale of the square kilometer of land to you will not violate our ancestors’ rules!"
Sean Knight was mildly disappointed. He had thought that Ellie Hosk’s tribe at least inherited the records about this seal, but there were none.
However, this disappointment was only momentary. He took out the seal just to make things smoother and did not have any intentions of ingratiating himself.
Given the money, he believed that these people wouldn’t obstruct or trouble him.
Of course, if there was any obstruction, Sean Knight wouldn’t be soft either!
After summoning the concerned people of the tribe, Ellie Hosk excitedly announced:
"This Mr. Knight from China is the person our tribe has been waiting for over a thousand years!
He holds the token that our ancestors sent out a thousand years ago and has found us! He promises to let everyone in our tribe live a better life!
He brought a large amount of funds, and those in our tribe who want to move out to town can do so! Our tribe’s thousand-year guardianship is now complete, so everyone cheer!"
Upon hearing Ellie Hosk’s announcement, everyone in the tribe was shocked!
Some were even crying excitedly!
The tribe’s thousand-year guard duty was both an honor and a pressure for them.
Previously, this place was like an isolated paradise. During times of war, at least this place would be unaffected. With plentiful water and lush grass, raising cattle and sheep did not carry pressure.
However, providing for people was easy during times of chaos but not now.
It’s not about surviving, but once the youngsters experienced the flashy outside world, how can they still guard this place with peace of mind?
Now someone has taken over this responsibility and was willing to pay to help them settle near towns and cities. How could they reject such an offer?
While five hundred thousand dollars might not seem much, the living cost in Kazakhstan was not high. Including the wealth accumulated by the tribe itself, they could comfortably settle near towns and cities. As for future livelihood, they were not worried.
As long as they leave this place and get the heavy burden off their backs, they can survive no matter how!
Not everyone is as responsible as Ellie Hosk!
So it was settled.
Sean Knight wanted to wire them the money, but Eckram didn’t agree.
"We want cash."
"Alright, let’s go to the city then. The transfer of land also requires a contract; let’s handle both these matters together," Sean Knight said.
Sean Knight took out his backpack and first handed over 10,000 dollars to Ellie Hosk:
"This 10,000 dollars is a deposit. After we finish the procedures, the rest will be settled face-to-face. What do you say?"
Ellie Hosk and Eckram looked at each other and agreed.
"Let’s do the paperwork tomorrow," Eckram suggested, "It’s already late today. Let’s celebrate here, and we can head to the city early tomorrow to handle the paperwork."
