At this time, their entire fleet was sailing at full speed.
The wreckage of the shipwreck that Chen Wenzhe is looking for is still unknown on which ship it is!
Therefore, Gao Qijing didn't want to work in vain. He immediately turned on the headset and issued the order through the radio.
Chen Wenzhe stopped. He had a lot of work here. Rather than excavating a cabin himself, it would be better to wait here.
This might help him see what he wants faster.
Several sunken ships were salvaged this time, and many cultural relics were recovered from the water. It can be said that there are all kinds of porcelain, and these need to be protected.
Mainly because the colors of these porcelains are kept intact and look very bright, not like cultural relics that have been soaked in seawater and have floated over the years.
Only porcelain from the sea with this appearance is worthy of his maintenance.
There are at least nearly a thousand such cultural relics.
These were just what he had robbed. At this time, he still didn't know how many treasures those foreign fleets had robbed.
Although it feels like a pity, Chen Wenzhe also feels very lucky.
He finally grabbed the big deal, which was enough to make him happy.
In fact, this kind of thing is inevitable in China, because every time a sunken ship is discovered, it is basically discovered first by local fishing boats.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
Since it was discovered by the private sector first, would they refrain from stealing it?
Taking the Nan'ao No. 1 shipwreck as an example, the loss was considerable.
At that time, when it was discovered that fishermen were selling cultural relics, a lot had already been lost.
This kind of thing cannot be avoided at all, because everyone knows that these do not belong to individuals and should be handed over!
However, in the face of huge benefits, who can endure it?
Afterwards, the police recovered more than 100 cultural relics, of which 10 pieces of porcelain reached the national level three cultural relics standard.
It is estimated that the value of the cultural relics they sold exceeded 200 million.
Just over 100 cultural relics were sold for 200 million. How can you make money like this?
People die for wealth and birds die for food, this has been the case since ancient times.
As long as there are enough interests, someone will do anything, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.
Of course, Chen Wenzhe still knew it well. He was not what he was two years ago. He would never take a fancy to an ancient tomb and go there to rob it himself.
After all, our country has strict regulations on the protection of cultural relics. As long as the cultural relics are not inherited from the family, whether they are under the sea or underground, they belong to the state. Cultural relics are very important in Chinese culture, so stealing cultural relics will be severely punished.
The punishment may range from a few years to more than ten years in prison, or the punishment may be the death penalty.
For example, there were tomb robbers in Beihu who destroyed female corpses left over from the Warring States Period.
The tomb thieves who participated in this incident and stole cultural relics were all sentenced to life imprisonment.
The three main culprits who destroyed the female body were all sentenced to death.
At sea, the mistakes of those fishermen who stole fish were relatively minor, but they still caused many sunken ships to suffer losses, and what awaited them would be several years of prison life.
This is why Chen Wenzhe has never thought about salvaging sunken ships in China.
This time he went to the doorstep of another country and salvaged a domestic shipwreck.
No matter how much he gains in this way, the country will not be able to do anything to him, and it will even thank him.
However, there are still some troubles after entering the country. You need to declare customs first.
Just this threshold is enough to make some inexperienced treasure hunters uncomfortable.
However, the current Chen Wenzhe is no longer the person he was a year or two ago. He now has a profound background.
Besides, he gained too much this time.
As long as he shares some disdainful garbage, some people will want to protect him, such as the Dahai City Government.
Not to mention anything else, just his investment in Dahai City can now make him very important.
Dahai City is the largest economic city in the country, but it is no longer a little guy.
Not to mention other things, his fixed asset investment alone exceeds tens of billions.
An investment of tens of billions is not small anywhere, even in big cities.
Another advantage here is that Dahai City is an economic capital. Here, those who have money can get many preferential treatment.
Although it is not as good as capitalist countries abroad, it is not much worse.
Chen Wenzhe has gained too much wealth overseas.
Not to mention gold, real national treasure-level cultural relics, such as bronzes, jade clothes with gold threads, jade clothes with silver threads, etc. cannot be used to argue.
Just the sunken treasures salvaged this time were enough for him to build a golden body.
The number of ceramics, iron wares, bronze wares, stone wares, bone wares, lacquered wood wares, tin wares, etc. discovered this time definitely exceeds 2.6 million pieces.
Among them, ceramics are the most abundant, with more than 1.6 million pieces. The number of porcelains that he can like is more than 250,000.
There are more than one million pieces, which are the kind of mass-produced porcelain.
It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just that there are too many of them.
At this time, he had some idea of what Hatcher was thinking when he salvaged the sunken ship in the South China Sea.
More than one million antiques, all of which are repetitive, can they be sold at a high price?
The most important thing is that if you take these porcelain back, you will need to invest a huge amount of money to process them.
Not to mention the cost of treatment, it is just a cost of maintenance and upkeep, plus shipping costs. Will it be possible to recoup the cost after selling it?
Chen Wenzhe will definitely not give up millions of pieces of ancient porcelain because of cost.
Of course, what he is most concerned about now are some of the fine products.
For example, the treasures on the sunken ship in the Wanli period were relatively small in number and older than the other.
A total of tens of thousands of pieces were salvaged, so they are naturally cherished.
Especially Jingzhen's blue and white porcelain, multicolored porcelain and other porcelain.
Among them, the sauce-glazed urn with double phoenix and six lion patterns is very rare.
Just by looking at the name, you can tell that a lot of craftsmanship has been put into it, and it is also a sauce-glazed porcelain.
This kind of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty is an absolute top-notch national treasure. This piece of porcelain is definitely comparable to the blue and white elephant Shoufang Zugunchi.
This piece of porcelain was sorted out later, mainly because it is more conspicuous.
Even Gao Qijing and others who don't understand porcelain can see its extraordinary quality at a glance.
In addition to these top-level national treasures, there are also many ordinary top-level cultural relics.
For example, Zhangzhou kiln blue and white porcelain, Cizao kiln green glaze chrysanthemum flower mouth dish, these Clark porcelain exported during the Wanli period are all very exquisite.
This batch of Ming Dynasty porcelain demonstrates the cultural level of ceramic craftsmanship during this period.
The treasures of the vast sea of history have jointly painted a prosperous picture of the export of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty for today's people.
The ancient porcelains salvaged by Chen Wenzhe this time were from the Northern Song Dynasty at the earliest and from the Wan Qing Dynasty at the latest, covering the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties.
Among them are the sauce-colored glazed tea cups from the Song Dynasty, the blue and white ladies' platter from Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the blue and white platter with the word "righteousness"...
Only one piece of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty has been found, which is a pity.
After all, the Yuan Dynasty was also the prosperous period of the Maritime Silk Road, and he didn't find a single shipwreck from the Yuan Dynasty.
