What she saw shocked her. What the salvage ship salvaged was completely different from the electronic components, high-end precision equipment, and munitions she had imagined.
In her imagination, these were the only things worth salvaging and then reselling for a high price.
But she never expected that it would be an ancient shipwreck.
She saw the salvage workers in the distance briefly handling each porcelain plate and then putting it into a box. Occasionally, a plate was not held securely and was thrown on the deck of the salvage ship. It was broken all over the floor. She suddenly felt that the broken plate was
Not a plate, but a house in Shanghai.
Li Miaoxian also watched silently.
Wan Ning took Zhao Chen's hand and said, "Chen, can we drive the boat closer? I want to get closer and have a look."
When she stood not far from the salvage ship as she wished, she pulled Zhao Chen's sleeve again. Zhao Chen knew what she meant and asked Chen Yanlan to contact the salvage crew.
Two boxes of fine shipwreck goods were moved from the warehouse to Zhao Chen's yacht.
Two big boxes.
Wan Ning moved to the box and prepared to open it.
She heard Chen Yanlan reporting the basic situation to Zhao Chen with first-hand information, "Judging from the current underwater exploration situation, there are two sunken ships. The cargo of the sunken ship is relatively well preserved, the number of cultural relics is huge, and the dynasty history is clear.
It has important historical, scientific and artistic value. If it were not for our private salvage, this salvage should be called a world-class archaeological discovery. After our submarine went down, the video images brought back were extremely shocking.
According to preliminary estimates, the number of cultural relics may exceed 100,000, and the preliminary judgment is that they date from the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. The porcelain accumulation area exceeds tens of thousands of square meters."
Zhao Chen's expression remained calm;
After being stunned for a while, he turned his head to look at the image of underwater shipwreck cultural relics played on Chen Yanlan's mobile phone.
Large-scale exposed porcelain, plates, vases, large bowls, porcelain jars, mostly, as well as goldware, silverware, and piles of coins
He took a deep breath and said, "Continue to salvage, follow the original plan, fish out as much as possible, leave nothing behind, and most likely it will be completely preserved."
After Chen Yanlan hesitated for a while, she still expressed her thoughts in a low voice, "It is currently estimated that according to the market price, the cargo and cultural relics on this sunken ship are worth about 6 trillion yuan."
When it came to the key points, she shut up knowingly. The value of these treasures was shocking.
Zhao Chen took a deep look at her and spoke earnestly, "Yanlan, I have told you many times that money has no practical meaning to us. We have also witnessed history in this salvage. As for how much profit you will take into account, you
It is better to find that phoenix robe in the sunken ship as soon as possible."
"I see."
She looked at Zhao Chen intently. When Zhao Chen said this for the first time, she was a little repelled in her heart. She felt that he was too hypocritical. Later, Zhao Chen mentioned him to her again and again.
idea.
To this day, when he easily obtained more than 6 trillion worth of things and he still seriously reasoned with her, Chen Yanlan suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.
It was the feeling of emptiness that made her forget her original intention. She didn't seem to value money so much in the past.
Looking at Zhao Chen again, before she knew it, the second generation ancestor whom she once looked down upon had surpassed her in thought and pursuit.
She turned around silently, feeling that now she still had to be down-to-earth and do some of the things he arranged.
"Yan Lan!" Zhao Chen called her from behind.
She turned around and looked back.
"Remember what you said, your face will be printed in the world's top wealth magazine. What you should be is the most shining female role model in the world. I always think your dream is great. I always feel."
Chen Yanlan was stunned for a moment, unconsciously she bent down, bowed to Zhao Chen, and turned to leave.
After walking away, she suddenly realized why I bowed?
I am his woman!
Somehow, her normally indifferent heart came into contact with that kind of emotion that could be called 'touched'.
…
Li Miaoxian watched Bai Wanning take out an extremely exquisite white cracked disk from the box. In front of her, Wanning used her mobile phone to check the auction records of this kind of disk.
"8.7 million!" Wan Ning showed her white teeth, she was very happy.
There are no complicated thoughts about getting rich, she only has those satisfactions after harvesting, just like she fishes with the fishing net on the yacht.
Eight million on a plate.
There are dozens of such plates in this box.
Li Miaoxian opened another box.
"gold."
She spoke in a low voice.
Gold is nothing new to Zhao Chen's family, but gold, an antique cultural relic made into a work of art, is far more meaningful than Wanning's gold shovel.
She put on her gloves and took out a large gold lock.
He frowned.
She felt that it was impossible for Guanju Yipin to buy such a big gold lock for her child, which would weigh at least ten kilograms.
"Put down that golden lock. I saw it first. I think it can be used as an heirloom of the Zhao family, and I will give it to my children in the future." Wan Ning said domineeringly.
Li Miaoxian did not respond to her, his face was expressionless. In this box, the big golden lock was placed on the surface.
She no longer looked down at these, but turned around to watch the mammoth salvage operation.
She saw Zhao Chen who was busy fishing in another direction.
Wanning's automatic fishing machine flew up in his hands. At this moment, Bai Wanning was busy. He no longer had to fight with Wanning to play. He stood on the deck grinning and playing.
Very happy.
Li Miaoxian had a feeling in her heart. She felt that maybe catching sky-high price cultural relics was as important as catching fish to satisfy her hunger.
Calm, deep and restrained.
Leng Meiren was in a daze. She felt that in the blink of an eye, Zhao Chen was no longer the naive young man.
It's not childish, but it's full of fun. Li Miaoxian thinks he can play with that fishing net for a year.
"Stop playing around. Aren't you going to continue cooking your food?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Chen was shocked.
He quickly dropped the toy and said, "Damn it, my pot is going to burn!"
Barefoot hurriedly ran to the wok, and he saw Chen Yanlan silently helping him stir the spoon.
hiss!
He felt that letting someone like the little secretary, who had never been in the kitchen, shake the spoon was simply more unacceptable than sticking the pot in the pot.
He took a closer look and saw that it was okay, okay, and he could still eat it.
Floating on the sea, vegetables and vitamins are indispensable. Pineapples are ingredients that can be put into a wok for cooking. Zhao Chen particularly admires this method of processing ingredients.
After improving his cooking skills, he felt more and more that the dietary therapies that Chinese people care about can sometimes really be used as a way to maintain health.
Whenever he cooks, he must take these into consideration.
He mixed salt-baked sea fish and boiled shrimps with a chutney, spicy fried chicken, and steamed stone crabs. The small octopus that was just caught a second ago was cut into two haphazardly and thrown into the pot.
It goes into your mouth in seconds.
Extremely delicious.
There was a hot pot on the lunch table, and Zhao Chen immediately fished the fish out of the sea and put it into the pot.
Wan Ning likes to eat like this.
She said that she was enjoying the gifts of nature. At the end of the sentence, she was not willing to give Zhao Chen a word of praise.
"The four islands Wan Ning mentioned yesterday have been purchased. Why don't you choose a few islands?" He tilted his head and asked Li Miaoxian.
Li Miaoxian shook his head, "Four islands are already a lot. We can only live in a few places in this life, and sleep only three feet away. There is no big purpose in having so much real estate. It's better not to be arrogant and extravagant."
The words are righteous and extremely reasonable.
It represents the pattern of the Zhao family's eldest wife.
"Then, what if you have more children and the island is not enough for them?" Zhao Chen asked lightly, he was very casual.
Li put down his chopsticks, picked up his phone, and opened the browser.
Zhao Chen turned his head and glanced at her search box, which read: sales and transactions of private islands around the world.
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If we work harder now, they will have a good life in the future." These words of Li Miaoxian's motherhood are radiant, even the pattern of Grandma Zhao's family.
Zhao Chen asked her: "How many are you going to buy?"
"Wan Ning bought four islands. I am the head wife, so I will buy six. If the money is not spent there, it will depreciate."
Her face was calm.
Zhao Chen sighed in his heart, if his descendants knew that their mothers, grandmothers, and grandparents fought for them for ten minutes to buy a private island, they would probably be very grateful.
Halfway through the lunch, Wan Ning handed Zhao Chen something, "It's for you. It came out of the treasure box. I think it's quite suitable for you."
Zhao Chen took it, lifted it up, and looked at it under the sun. It was a round white jade finger ring.
He tried it on his hand and it just fit!
Slightly happy, he raised his head and glanced at Wanning. How could Wanning know the size of my fingers so clearly?
"She also hid the golden engraved ring finger." Li Miaoxian said.
"Oh, if you have to tell me, I want to send him slowly in the days to come, so that he can be happy every day!" Wan Ning pursed her lips and looked at Li Miaoxian with a displeased look on her face.
"I'm sorry." Mr. Li apologized generously.
"I forgive you." Wan Ning tilted her head and stopped pursuing it. She spoke to Zhao Chen again, "Although you already know this in advance, you still have to be happy when I give you gifts in the future."
"Okay!"
Zhao Chen followed her direction and tilted his head to look at her.
Mr. Li couldn't help but quietly raised the corner of his mouth. These two people are really happy little enemies. They are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts.
Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned.
'Li Miaoxian, Li Miaoxian, do you want to listen to what you are saying? It's obviously you who was Zhao Chen's childhood sweetheart!'
When she saw Zhao Chen teasing Wanning again, she didn't find it so funny anymore.
But speechless.
Two people who are so old are still pretending to be cute. Who are they pretending to?!
well?
Could it be that they were pretending to show me?
She used long chopsticks to pick up a large piece of thin fish fillet, put it into the hot red oil pan, and then fed it to Zhao Chen.
"Thank you, my wife, it's so hot, so hot. Hot!"
"Hahaha."
Chen Yanlan had nothing to do, so she ate seriously. The fish caught was enough for her, and Zhao Chen sliced the fish very quickly.
…
After staying near the salvage ship for a few hours, playing mahjong, poker, and taking a lunch break, Bai Wanning was the only one busy. Any high-quality cultural relics encountered on the salvage ship would be sent over, including exquisitely carved jewelry and goldware.
Ivory carvings and ornaments.
"Too much, too much, we can't finish it! We can't finish it!"
She was busy working alone, and occasionally asked Chen Yanlan to come over to help her, because some of the jade ornaments were too heavy for her to lift.
Li Miaoxian was wearing sunglasses and lying in Zhao Chen's arms. There were red wine, drinks, and some snacks beside the large sofa.
"She was so happy." Li Miaoxian was talking about Wan Ning's busy figure.
Zhao Chen chewed melon seeds and glanced at the motionless fishing rod before he slowly said, "That's her personality. When she picked up golden beans in Siberia last time, she was in a very high mood. I thought you were too.
You will like these, it seems you are calm now."
"I do like it too. What woman can't like these things, but I am a sister after all, so I still have to be more cautious."
Zhao Chen came closer and kissed her on the cheek, which was regarded as a reward for her big wife style.
Li Miaoxian put on his sunglasses and looked around.
Unconsciously, her face turned slightly red.
It's really rare for Zhao Chen to kiss her suddenly like this.
"Why haven't you kissed me like this before?"
"You didn't wear sunglasses before. As soon as I saw those eyes of yours, I felt that you were inhumane. How could you kiss me?"
"..."
The two of them were in a sweet moment.
boom.
There was a gunshot.
Zhao Chen immediately stood up, rushed over, and picked up Wan Ning who had not yet reacted on the deck.
"Everyone get into the cabin!"
Li Miaoxian took off his sunglasses, and Zhao Chen didn't have to be slow to react. Chen Yanlan immediately held the computer and entered the yacht.
Zhao Chen carried Bai Wanning into the cabin.
"There are gunshots. You are not allowed to go out. Put on your body armor first." He was stunned for a moment. Li Miaoxian was already fully dressed, and she was putting on Bai Wanning's helmet.
Chen Yanlan also quickly equipped herself.
He quickly put on his shoes, and Li Miaoxian brought him the body armor and put it on, and then the helmet, "You guys stay here and don't move. The steel plate of this yacht is trustworthy enough. Don't worry, our mercenaries are around."
As a last resort, he saw that Li Miaoxian was holding a shotgun over one meter long.
When Bai Wanning went to touch the big sniper, she was stopped by Zhao Chen, "Don't move, don't go out!"
Now it seems that only Chen Yanlan is obedient.
Zhao Chen stopped thinking about it and picked up the communicator, "Wang Tiezhu, what is the situation now?"
"Boss, don't worry, it's just a small ship. It's not an official ship. It should be a small group of pirates. Their boats are approaching quickly and are expected to enter the best shooting range of our ship's howitzer in five seconds. Please.
You stay inside the yacht and do not act rashly. The escort is now between your yacht and the enemy ship, and you will not suffer any force."
Wang Tiezhu's voice suddenly stopped.
Boom boom boom
The deafening sound of shell explosions sounded. Zhao Chen held Li Miaoxian and Bai Wanning in his arms. He felt that his ears were numb from the shock. When he lowered his head, he saw the two girls had put on their headphones and looked at him with bright eyes.
'My husband is so awesome, I don't need to wear earplugs or even cover my ears when fighting.'
Zhao Chen continued to hear Wang Tiezhu's voice, "Our howitzers have concentrated on the enemy ship, and all five of our guns have hit. Current observations show that the enemy ship was destroyed by our howitzers and exploded on the spot. Please don't act rashly, boss. We will
Send 200 armed mercenaries to observe the situation closely."
"Okay!" He nodded, and then took the time to ask a question, "How big is the other party's ship?"
"It's about 20 meters long. It's a converted old fishing boat. There's even a wooden structure on the boat."
Zhao Chen was stunned.
20 meters long?
The yacht he is staying on now is nearly one hundred meters long. How dare these people come over and become pirates? They can roam the sea with a gun?
At the same time, he was not very clear about the number of armed personnel in his home.
"This time there are 500 well-equipped mercenaries on board the escort ship with plenty of ammunition," Chen Yanlan reminded him.
Zhao Chen glanced at her, no wonder she was the least panicked. This kind of firepower and military suppression would only be possible unless the opponent had super advanced weapons.
"There are nearly three hundred fishing employees on our fishing boats. They are all mercenaries. They can work after receiving weapons and equipment. The nearest bomber to us is in the Malay Islands and can come here in about an hour." The little secretary said again,
She was surrounded by Zhao Chen's legs.
Wan Ning's eyes lit up as she was in Zhao Chen's arms, "Wow, since when did we have our own bomber?"
"last month."
"How many bombers do we have?"
"Three!"
"Okay!" Wan Ning exclaimed.
Zhao Chen lowered his head and told her, "The three bombers were exchanged for the gold you dug out in Siberia."
The smile on Bai Wanning's lips slowly faded.
What? It was clearly said that I would be responsible for operation and development, but in the end, my treasury was tampered with without telling me. It was really, really outrageous. They even bought bombers without telling me.
Zhao Chen just pretended that he didn't see her face.
Good guy, if I told you, you would probably fly around the world in a bomber.
After a while, Zhao Chen received the message, "The enemy army has been eliminated."
He just walked to the deck, raised his telescope and looked into the distance. It is worth mentioning that the two salvage boats never stopped working, and the gunshot just now was not felt at all in their ears.
Wang Tiezhu estimated that someone on the other side had set off a fire.
However, the enemy troops had been discovered early before they broke out. Zhao Chen glanced at his phone and saw, wow, really, Wang Tiezhu had sent him a text message and called him a few minutes ago, but he didn't receive it in time.
This wave really didn’t expect that there are such short-sighted guys in the world.
Zhao Chen suddenly thought that maybe this small boat had no intention of armed conflict, but its whereabouts were too strange, and it fired with a gun.
Or maybe this ship was the first to come over for reconnaissance.
Li Miaoxian is well-armed, holding a spray gun in her hand and wearing goggles on her eyes, shaping her appearance into another kind of beauty.
"Where are the people?"
"Blasted to pieces."
Li Miaoxian said nothing, opened the barrel of the spray gun and took out the bullets inside.
"Hey, is there any danger outside?" Bai Wanning stayed inside the cabin and asked outside.
"No, you can come out now."
Deng Deng Deng.
Wan Ning came out and stood on the deck, holding a pistol in her hand.
Zhao Chen frowned, "Don't play with these things."
"Why, even Li Miaoxian can play."
OK.
Zhao Chen didn't want to say more.
The family members were emotionally stable, so he actually didn't care about these things. If Wang Ziyan was emotionally unstable, Zhao Chen would never allow her to hold a gun.
Maybe the barrel of the gun hit his head.
Come on, good luck in the college entrance examination, and get the title on the gold list!
