At the bottom of the sea, this big octopus was beaten by Li Qingyun, making a strange sound, and its entire software head was deformed. Even though it was beaten like this, it could still struggle to escape into the broken ship. Maybe it felt that the outside world was too scary.
, still safe in the lair.
How could Li Qingyun let it escape again? He grabbed one of its tentacles and threw it into a small space, preparing to go back and make Teppanyaki.
Following the large damaged hole, Li Qingyun swam in, but came out quickly. Because it was too dark inside, it was better to use his spiritual sense to search, so that he could find out what was inside faster.
This is a sunken ancient merchant ship. It has only two floors and the hull is not too big. Li Qingyun cannot determine the specific age because he has almost zero knowledge about this area. However, there is indeed a lot of porcelain inside, most of which are broken.
, but there is also a small part that is relatively intact, but the surface of the porcelain is covered with many parasites and small shells, and the pimples are like toad skin, which is very ugly and destroys the beauty of the porcelain.
At the bottom of the warehouse, there were several shapeless human skeleton fragments, as well as several coin boxes, which contained a large amount of silver, a small amount of gold, and several small boxes of jade.
Apart from that, no special marks or written records were found. Li Qingyun used his spiritual power to put the boxes containing jade items into the small space, leaving other things untouched.
The jade items were needed because he had a small space. As for whether they were valuable or not, he hadn't thought too much about them. But out of the desire to share with those who saw them, he would make the other items on the ship public, and in the end, everyone would share them equally according to the situation.
Salvaging ancient sunken ships at the bottom of the sea is actually an adventure game. Unless you can salvage precious porcelain, there is no joy in getting some gold, silver and jade. These things are not very valuable in modern times.
Li Qingyun surfaced and marked the location. Then he asked the yacht to drive over through the wireless communication device.
Wang Chao was waiting anxiously because Li Qingyun had been in the water for a long time and had not surfaced. Now he suddenly received news from him and said that he had found the exact location of the sunken ship. He suddenly became happy.
"Damn, brother, you are really awesome. Other divers have been in the water for a long time, but they can't find any trace of the sunken ship. You just went into the water for a while and you found the exact location?" After the yacht came close, Wang Chao stood on the bow and yelled at Li Qingyun.
call.
Li Qingyun got on the yacht, took off the diving equipment on his body, and said to Wang Chao: "This is also luck. The sunken ship is down here. You can ask someone from the salvage company to come over. Because it is too dark inside, I don't know what is inside. But
Porcelain and the like are definitely indispensable."
"Hey, porcelain is valuable. If we salvage a few Yuan blue and white pieces, we will be prosperous." Wang Chao rubbed his hands excitedly.
The employees nearby also cheered, because if anything valuable is salvaged, they will also receive generous rewards.
"Even if there is porcelain, if there is a layer of small shells and parasites on it, and it turns into an ugly thing, can it still be valuable?" Li Qingyun expressed doubts.
"Hey, porcelain can survive being soaked in sea water. As long as the porcelain itself is valuable, even if it is covered with caterpillars, it will be extremely valuable." Wang Chao said, having already taken out his mobile phone and called the salvage company he had already contacted.
I heard over there that the location of the sunken ship had been determined and that they could work directly if they came over. They immediately took it very seriously and said that they would send a ship to salvage it immediately.
While having lunch on the yacht, Li Qingyun asked casually: "After we salvage it, the country won't come to rob it, right? Then we will give you and me a certificate, and then that's it. If that's the case, I will go into the water first and take the
Bring the valuable things inside first."
"Haha, don't worry about this. As long as it's not modern military ships or special historical relics, the country won't grab everything. In this area, there are too many salvaged things for itself. Otherwise, there won't be anything nearby.
There will be so many salvage companies. And of course I dare to let others salvage, so I am not afraid of others picking the peaches." Wang Chao said with a smile.
Li Qingyun was relieved. Otherwise, he could have emptied this ancient cargo ship by drilling into the bottom of the sea. If he was willing, he could even fit this cargo ship into a small space without any pressure.
Soon, the salvage company's ship came over, and a person in charge came to negotiate with Wang Chao and sign a salvage agreement. They only collected money for salvage. As for the value of the salvaged things, they didn't get a cent.
This is good to avoid disputes, because there are many cases where the sunken ship was worthless after all the efforts were taken.
Although the sunken ship was not big, salvage still took a lot of time. Li Qingyun called his wife, told them what happened here, and let them make arrangements freely on Moon Island without waiting for him.
Yang Yunu heard that the sunken ship found some time ago had been officially salvaged and expressed great interest. However, the weather was getting hotter and it was inconvenient to run around on the sea with her children, so she had to give up.
On the afternoon of the next day, the sunken ancient merchant ship was finally lifted out of the water and lifted to the open deck by a huge salvage ship. After being straightened, it was easy to enter and inspect.
In fact, the hull of the ship is made of wood and has been soaked in sea water all year round. It is already in bad condition. If the ship is not too small and has been reinforced around it, the possibility of getting out of the water is relatively small. It is estimated that if it is hung on the water, people can enter the treasure hunt.
Now that it was safely placed on the deck, Li Qingyun and Wang Chao didn't care so much and took people over directly.
It was similar to what Li Qingyun had scanned with his spiritual consciousness. Since this was a small merchant ship, it could only hold two to three hundred pieces of porcelain. After most of it was broken, only a few dozen pieces remained intact.
The archaeological experts sent by the salvage company took a few glances and said with some regret: "This seems to be a ship from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is filled with folk kiln porcelain. Even if it is complete, it is not worth much."
Money. But after paying the salvage fee, it’s true that you will definitely make a fortune.”
Li Qingyun had already found the location of the warehouse and pulled out the boxes containing the silver. Without much effort, the boxes broke into pieces, and the silver, which was soaked black, was scattered all over the floor.
The total amount of silver in these boxes should be more than 10,000 kilograms, which in ancient times was more than 100,000 taels, which is definitely a huge sum of money.
Even if silver is not very valuable now, when this pile of silver comes out, it is enough to shock people into jaws. The spot price of silver is more than 3,000 yuan per kilogram, which is worth more than 10 million yuan.
What's more, there is a gold box next to it, which contains at least dozens of kilograms of gold. Not to mention the porcelain, with these precious metals alone, after paying the salvage fee, you can make a small profit.
"Haha, I'm getting rich. This is more exciting than winning a lottery. It's silver and gold. It would be even better if a few original ancient beauties were unearthed." Wang Chao squinted his eyes in excitement and started to joke.
But before he finished speaking, someone cleared out a few piles of broken human bones from the wooden ship's utility room. He was immediately shocked and never mentioned the local beauty again.
The people from the salvage company should know Wang Chao's identity, and finally offered to help him deal with these things. After the gold and silver were weighed, the complete porcelain was counted, and there were finally sixty or seventy pieces. What patterns and styles were recorded?
These will become evidence of the transaction when brought ashore for private auction.
According to the appraiser from Dong's Bank, it would be great if these porcelains combined could be sold for eight to nine million. If they were official kiln porcelain, or there were several pieces of palace porcelain, that would be great. One piece could be sold for
Sold for tens of millions.
Li Qingyun secretly curled his lips and thought to himself, isn't this nonsense? If there were several complete Yuan blue and white pieces, one of them could fetch hundreds of millions.
In any case, the ancient shipwreck incident has finally come to an end. According to the final estimate, after excluding various expenses, Li Qingyun and Wang Chao can probably get about 30 million.
This is an unexpected windfall. They don't have to go through the company's accounts and can be transferred directly to their personal accounts. It's more than 10 million per person. For them, the money is not much, but the process is a bit strange and more exciting than winning a lottery. It can be regarded as an enjoyment of the sea.
The fun of searching for treasures.
The employees who accompanied Li Qingyun and Wang Chao this time all received generous rewards. This unexpected reward was enough to keep them excited for three or two years.
When we returned to Moon Island, it was afternoon, and the setting sun was like blood, casting a hint of coolness through the gaps in the coconut grove. However, the tourists on the beach almost crowded the entire beach at the busiest time.
The business on the island is getting better and better. As the owners of the island, Li Qingyun and Wang Chao are happiest.
The man who wanted to buy a villa, Peng Yuyan, had not left yet. He should have already checked into the Moon Island Hotel. At this time, he was dressed in cool clothes, holding a surfboard, and was about to go to the beach. He happened to meet Li Qingyun and Wang Chao who had returned.
"Boss Li, I'm serious. I'm willing to pay 100 million for the villa next door to you. If you think the price is low, I can raise the price..." Peng Yuyan shouted as soon as he saw Li Qingyun.
"I won't sell it no matter how much I pay." Li Qingyun refused.
"Damn, how much? One hundred million? You can't sell it for a cent?" When Wang Chao heard this, his feet softened and he almost fell into the flowers. (To be continued.)
