The reason why Zhuang Rui was willing to announce the coordinates of the Pirate Island was because not long before the press conference started, he had learned that the desert island was not part of the Virgin Islands. It was an isolated island in the high seas and did not belong to any country.
According to relevant international regulations, wealth obtained in such a place belongs entirely to the individual, so Zhuang Rui is not afraid that anyone will use the island issue as an issue again.
"Mr. Zhuang, are you not mistaken? There is also a treasure map that we can look for ourselves. Why is it being auctioned?"
Huangfu Yun didn't know Zhuang Rui's idea beforehand, so he was so anxious that he quickly advised him.
This treasure map is also part of the pirate treasure. If it is sold, wouldn't it be a loss to the pirate hall? What's more, according to Zhuang Rui's judgment, there are pirate treasures elsewhere. If you sell it, you will be benefiting others in vain?
It's just that Huangfu Yun forgot that there was a microphone in front of him. When he said this, everyone in the room could hear him clearly. However, everyone had the same idea as him. Only a fool would do such a thing as selling treasure maps.
You must know that so many treasures that shocked the world were discovered in just one treasure cache. According to some estimates, Zhuang Rui's profit this time was at least two billion US dollars.
If there is another hidden treasure, even if it is only one-tenth of this treasure, it will be a huge wealth of 200 million US dollars, and it is worthy of many adventurers to explore.
However, those people did not know that Zhuang Rui had concealed most of the gold coins. If those gold coins were included, Zhuang Rui's gain this time would be at least more than four billion US dollars.
"Ahem, everyone, be quiet. Let me talk about the treasure map first. I got two treasure maps at that time, and the contents on them were different. I only searched one of the places and got these Klaus
treasure...
Due to some supply reasons, I did not have time to search for another treasure map. As for whether there is a treasure in another place, I must first state that I can only guarantee the authenticity of the treasure map, but I cannot be sure that there is still a treasure there...
…
Because the preparations for this expedition were insufficient, it could almost be said that it was a life-and-death experience. It had a great impact on me personally. I didn’t want to go to that place again, but I didn’t want those treasures to be buried on a deserted island, so I made the decision.
The decision to sell the treasure map!”
Most of what Zhuang Rui said above is true, but whether there is any treasure on that isolated island, the answer is yes. There are bird feathers, pearls and scattered gold coins. There may be a few left. As for
There is absolutely no such thing as these objects in front of you.
The reason why Zhuang Rui made the decision to auction the treasure map was to divert public attention, because as soon as the press conference started, it seemed that the media focused all their attention on himself, which Zhuang Rui did not want to see.
His adventure trip was mainly caused by Muta installing a bomb on the plane. Although the buddy had already gone to see Allah, some people would think of him. Zhuang Rui didn't want that African madman to
To cause trouble for oneself.
Once the treasure map is taken, these media will inevitably pay attention to the subsequent development. These pirate treasures in the Dingguang Museum will also attract attention from all over the world, and you can disappear behind the scenes.
As for whether the person who took the treasure map can find the treasure, it has nothing to do with Zhuang Rui. Anyway, the map is real. If you can find it, you are lucky. If you can't find it, Zhuang Rui has already stated it in advance. Anyway, he will pick it off himself.
It has to be clean.
"Mr. Zhuang, I admire your selflessness, but how can you ensure that the person who obtains the treasure map can find the location of the treasure first without being interfered by other interference?
You must know that what you are talking about is an auction, which means that the person who gets this treasure map has to pay..."
The vice president of the Adventurers Association raised his own question. If Zhuang Rui disclosed the coordinates of the Pirate Island, then everyone in the world could go there to look for it, and the treasure map would not be of much significance.
The vice president himself is a successful businessman with a net worth of hundreds of millions. Adventure treasure hunting is an indispensable spice in his life, so he is extremely interested in the treasure map in Zhuang Rui's hand.
Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment after hearing this. His decision was made on the spur of the moment. He really hadn't thought about this problem. After thinking about it in his mind, he replied: "This gentleman is right. The auction will be held after the press conference."
proceed, and I will also make a promise that the coordinates of the Pirate Island will be announced three months after the auction ends...
And as the first guest of that pirate island, in order to show my sincerity, I will also tell the person who took the treasure map the original treasure location, and allow him to take pictures of the treasure map where the treasure has been unearthed.
, so that this friend can go and verify!
But one thing I want to reiterate is that I cannot guarantee whether the second treasure map will contain Klaus’s treasure..."
Zhuang Rui's words were indeed sincere. The announcement of the coordinates of the Pirate Island three months later was enough for the holder of the treasure map to discover the treasure, and his willingness to provide the first treasure location also showed that Zhuang Rui
Rui has no ghosts in his heart.
"Mr. Zhuang is right. No one can guarantee whether Klaus divided the treasure into two places for storage..."
After hearing what Zhuang Rui said, the vice president was quite satisfied. He didn't really care about whether there was treasure there. What he cared about was the exciting and thrilling process of exploring pirate treasures.
With Zhuang Rui's gimmick of auctioning treasure maps, the questions at the end of the press conference became a bit formal.
Half an hour later, Huangfu Yun announced that the press conference was over. Before the reporters could leave, people outside who heard the news that Zhuang Rui was going to auction the treasure map immediately swarmed in.
These people are experts and scholars from all over the world who have come to participate in this academic exchange conference. At the same time, many of them are wealthy people themselves. They all express their concern for this treasure map that they don’t know whether there is any treasure left.
Very interested.
However, Zhuang Rui first summoned famous scientific researchers with great reputation in the world, including Professor Zhou from Peking University, and went to a small meeting to conduct appraisal on the two treasure maps.
Zhuang Rui is not afraid that these people can remember the crooked lines on the treasure map. Even if they remember, they don't know the location of the island, so the fairness of the auction can still be guaranteed.
There is no doubt that after more than half an hour of appraisal, the two treasure maps made of parchment scrolls were unanimously considered to be authentic by several experts, and they signed their names on the appraisal certificate.
"This thing is also an antique. Do you need to find someone to raise the price?"
Holding the identification certificate and the two treasure maps in the box, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but think about it.
If it weren't for the fact that the pirate island blocks all modern communication signals, Zhuang Rui would even want to take it as his own and develop it into a tourist attraction.
"Mr. Zhuang, is this auction too hasty? As soon as you released the news, I haven't stopped calling. They are all asking to participate in the auction..."
Zhuang Rui had just walked out of the small conference room when he was blocked by Huangfu Yun. He had just been dizzy because of the phone call. Not only people from abroad, but also many rich people in China were also very interested in this treasure map.
interested.
Zhuang Rui glanced around and whispered: "Aren't I trying to divert trouble to the east? It makes people worry about it. Brother Huangfu, this fame should be done in moderation and cannot be exceeded..."
Huangfu Yun was still a little unwilling and advised: "Then if there is a treasure, wouldn't we lose money on the sale? Mr. Zhuang, otherwise we should cancel it. Wouldn't it be better for us to discover it ourselves?"
"You can't be too greedy, Brother Huangfu, just follow my instructions..."
Zhuang Rui smiled, no one knew whether there was a treasure or not, but after hearing Huangfu Yun's words, Zhuang Rui felt a little uneasy, as if there was something he had forgotten.
"Damn, something almost went wrong..."
Zhuang Rui suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh hard, and quickly called out to Huangfu Yun, who turned around to arrange the auction, and said: "Brother Huangfu, you are right. There are many treasure maps being auctioned now.
No one knows and cannot maximize profits. Let’s do this. The auction of the treasure map is scheduled to be held in a week’s time and will be hosted by a professional auction company!”
"Tch, isn't there going to be an auction? Well, pretend I didn't say anything, I'll arrange it..."
Huangfu Yun curled his lips. According to his opinion, it would be best if Zhuang Rui handed him the coordinates and treasure map. Director Huangfu would lead the team and conduct another archaeological excavation expedition that shocked the world's scientific research community!
After Huangfu Yun went out and told Zhuang Rui's decision, everyone could understand. After all, it was very rare for Zhuang Rui himself to be willing to put up the treasure map for auction. It was understandable that others wanted to maximize their profits.
of.
However, no one noticed that at this time, Zhuang Rui had entrusted the academic exchange meeting to his mentor, Professor Zhou, and asked him to deal with experts from all over the world. Zhuang Rui himself had quietly slipped out of the museum.
Back to the courtyard.
"Peng Fei, I have to make another trip for this matter, and something almost went wrong..."
After finding Peng Fei who was recuperating at home, Zhuang Rui directly told what happened. He wanted Peng Fei to rush to the Pirate Island immediately to help him deal with Muta's problem.
Zhuang Rui was kind enough to bury Muta on the beach. The traces of the burial could never be hidden from the eyes of professional explorers. If Muta's body was dug out, he might have to face accusations of murder.
.
Zhuang Rui also regretted this, and would have thrown Muta's body into the sea if he had known it.
"Brother Zhuang, don't worry. I'll just go there. I'll fly to the Virgin Islands first, then rent a boat and go out to sea. I can finish this matter in three or four days..."
When Peng Fei heard about this, he immediately agreed. Neither he nor Zhuang Rui expected that someone would land on that mysterious island in the future.
