A week after Mitchell Hatcher started construction, on the weekend, some uninvited guests hurried to Lanfang, asking to see Gu Kun.
Gu Kun was a little surprised, but he was still very eager to receive him in his invincible sea view villa: "Manager He, why are you here again? Did anything happen in the last cooperation? This is..."
He Lan was the one who came here, so Gu Kun subconsciously thought there was something wrong with the oil exploration cooperation, and thought that shouldn't be the case.
He Lan was very aloof from Gu Kun: "What is your attitude? We are also old friends and old classmates who have cooperated for many years. Do we have to have problems with the oil fields and the stock market before we can come to you? I am doing this for you.
For your safety, you agreed to have a single line of contact with us, so no matter what happens, I will come forward to help you isolate."
"It's okay, I welcome him - mainly because the battle with Soros has reached a fever pitch at the last moment, and my nerves are tight." Gu Kun explained.
He only has a single line of contact with He Lan and uses her as an intermediary to sell favors for everything. This has always been Gu Kun's safety rule.
In this way, you don't have to worry about so many relevant departments in the country, with varying levels of confidentiality awareness, and people talking all kinds of things.
Anyway, Gu Kun didn't directly agree to anything from the relevant departments. It was He Lan who had great supernatural powers and somehow traveled abroad and managed to get the help of a mysterious figure who could help.
Then, after the relevant departments got help from the mysterious figure, they regarded it as a favor owed to He Lan. Next time if something happened to He Lan, they would ask the relevant departments for help.
He Lan is a personal love stack.
After looking at Gu Kun's attitude, he confirmed that the other party was indeed not in good spirits. He Lan also believed it: "It seems that you have been really focused on the Hong Kong stock market recently and have turned a deaf ear to other things. It's so big
I haven't heard any news from the industry - you should be familiar with Mitchell Hatcher, right? He has recently come to South China to make trouble again."
Gu Kun was perked up. He was so familiar with this name. After all, he was the ancestor of contemporary shipwreck thieves. When Gu Kun started his own business, he made his first pot of gold by salvaging ships. Many of them used reborn prophets.
, plagiarized the exploration results of his previous life, Mitchell Hatcher.
So Gu Kun answered simply: "Of course I know this person. Why, he is also trying to take advantage of the lack of money in Southeast Asian countries and the financial difficulties, so he can make a profit?"
He Lan: "If it's just to get a vote, that's it. It's none of our business. The key is that this guy cooperates with the Filipino maid! He also chose to provoke us!"
Then, He Lan spent a few minutes analyzing the specific actions of Mitchell Hatcher and the international legal conspiracy behind it.
When Gu Kun heard this, of course he was very angry: "Sure enough! Those Bretons have always been evil-minded and want to disgust us at every turn! What do you want me to do without saying anything? It is my duty to snipe Mitchell.
Yes, of course, if you have other plans, then I will definitely respect your plans, after all, I never act privately within your country’s territorial waters."
Gu Kun had never expected that Mitchell Hatcher would take action against "Nanyang No. 1" so quickly.
Gu Kun himself also knew the specific coordinates of the "Nanyang No. 1" and knew that this ship was the most valuable ship in the history of shipwreck salvage in the entire Southeast Asian waters, but Gu Kun had never thought about it.
Now that his business has reached this point, even if the items on a boat are worth at least 500 million US dollars, it is not necessary for Gu Kun to make money.
The reason he wanted to make the money before was because those goods were made from the territorial waters of Indonesians, Vietnamese, Filipinos and even the high seas. Gu Kun had no psychological barriers.
He is still very patriotic in nature, and he also knows that China's national power will become stronger and stronger in the future. He must not offend or do anything that hurts national sentiments for money. Therefore, he never touches the interests of China's territorial waters.
"Nanyang No. 1" is located in the waters east of the Visa Islands and south of the Visa Islands. It is still a slightly disputed area between China and the Philippines. However, as China became more and more powerful in later generations, before Gu Kun was reborn, the Philippines had already
He was beaten to pieces in seconds and gave up all illegal attempts.
According to the history of the previous life, the "Nanyang No. 1" should have been completed by China in the 21st century, and there was no news of auction in the international market - mainly because China is
Responsible big countries no longer expect to earn foreign exchange from cultural relics, and the things they pick up will not be sold, but will be given to their own museums for collection and display, so the question of "how much is it worth" is meaningless.
Now, it should be Gu Kun who has wiped out many of the historical rumors and resources accumulated by Mitchell Hatcher in advance, causing a slight butterfly effect, leaving Hatcher without a better goal when he returned to Southeast Asia.
Take risks out of desperation.
Regardless of emotion, reason or profit, Gu Kun wanted to stop him.
He Lan saw that he was so righteous and saved a lot of words, so she bluntly suggested: "I don't know if you are willing to accept domestic authorization. Of course, we still have to adhere to the seriousness of our consistent relevant regulations and rules. We
There is no 'share-sharing' cooperation model for cultural relic salvage in China, and there is no such provision in law.
If you are willing to accept our public welfare maritime academic cooperation, then I can immediately go to the relevant department that asked me to give you an approval document - but our bottom line is that the belongings of the ancient Arabs on the ship, the general belongings on the ship,
The equivalent or circulating property can be yours. Anything else that can show the characteristics of the ancient Chinese cultural circle must be strictly managed by the state and cannot be sold."
Gu Kun didn't know much about the rules and regulations, so He Lan explained them to him in detail.
Roughly speaking, if there were gold, silver, currency, etc. on ancient Arab ships, Gu Kun could take them all away and exclude one part as cultural relics. Maybe those ancient Arabs would also have some Middle Eastern culture-style jewelry with them, such as
It is not considered a Chinese cultural relic.
During the Tang Dynasty, black-clad food merchants and Persian merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty to do business often chose to use Sogdian gold coins or other Sasanian gold coins to make transactions for the convenience of transporting currency across thousands of miles.
Gold and silver are not necessarily all ingots.
But these are not important to Gu Kun. He is not here for money in the first place. Being able to deal with the troublemaker Mitchell Hatcher, even if there is no financial gain, is a good thing for Gu Kun.
What's more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain legal authorization from China. If it works well, it can also be used to be over-interpreted by the capital market, and the role of public opinion will be far greater than the role of direct money——
Think about it, the Brittany people just got fake approval and fake authorization from the Filipino maid. This kind of fake authorization has no value in the world. Moreover, the legal authorization of the Filipino maid in the Sulawesi Sea, Sulu Sea and other areas is also I've made a lot of it, so it's not scarce.
China has always been famous for not issuing authorizations to external parties (mainly because it stipulates that only part-time workers can work, and no share-sharing system is allowed, so no foreigners accept such conditions. The interaction between the two parties has resulted in no precedent for this kind of approval)
Today, if Gu Kun had been officially authorized, he would have been the first foreigner to receive such authorization, and he would have received a more or less symbolic share of non-cultural property such as gold and silver.
If this matter is interpreted well, it can be interpreted as "the support of relevant Chinese departments for the Lan side" and further interpreted as support for the "old friends of the Chinese people" who came to help during the Hong Kong dollar crisis.
In fact, the battle with Soros has reached this juncture, and both sides have cleared their skins. No one should laugh at the other, saying that the other party does not pay attention to capital value and does not evaluate the objective and actual value of the stock market and exchange rate.
Soros is not a value investor at all, he is just a panic investor. Since it is an emotional war, all tactics that can destroy the opponent's emotions can be used.
Pandora's box was opened first by a small group of Wall Street Dogs, and the counterattackers were just there to accompany them.
Hearing that Gu Kun was willing to agree to this seemingly harsh financial condition, He Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easier for her to explain when she returned to China: "I didn't expect you to be so patriotic that you would agree to this. I thought you were going to do it anyway." Counteroffer, for example, asking for 20 to 30 percent of ancient cultural relics."
Gu Kun was very self-aware: "If I don't want to do it, you can do it yourself, right? It's not difficult."
He Lan: "That's different. The smoke bombs at Mitchell Hatcher's old suspected tomb have been very well placed. Currently, a lot of survey coordinates have been applied for, and a lot of extra application fees have been paid to Filipinos. Outsiders have no idea what the truth is. The specific coordinates of the goods.
Besides, it is not convenient for us to intensify our relations with the Filipinos at the moment. It would be best if we could use our authorization to let foreigners do things under our jurisdiction. If you offend the Filipinos because of this, We will compensate you appropriately for any impact on your trade cooperation with the Philippines in the future."
Gu Kun happily agreed, knowing that what He Lan said was true.
One thing to say is that the attitude of Filipino maids towards China also comes in stages. For example, in the 2010s, after President Du came to power, it was still relatively friendly, and future improvements must be acknowledged.
But the period starting in the mid-1990s, especially the six years when Fidel Ramos was in power, was indeed a turning point that was not very friendly to China. Previously, from the late 1980s to 1992, China’s main disputes over its southern territorial waters were They were all arguing with the Vietnamese in the west. But after Ramos came up in 1992, he started to cause trouble in the east.
Especially after the financial crisis, in just over half a year, Ramos beached some ships on some Chinese islands and made all kinds of noises, clearly showing that he was using the attitude of paying attention to foreign nations to alleviate the people's insecurity in the country. Pain in the financial crisis. Beggar-thy-neighbour.
At this time, since the Filipinos have approved the development by a third-party foreigner, it would be more convenient for Gu Kun to disrupt the situation as a third-party foreigner.
After seeing off He Lan, Gu Kun immediately called Du Guowei and asked him to immediately make all preparations for setting sail.
At the same time, Gu Kun also urgently purchased a decommissioned submarine from China in the name of the Lanfang Coast Patrol.
His only requirements were that the leather should be strong and durable, and that the maximum diving depth should be large enough. As for the weapons, it didn't matter. The purpose of the purchase was to strengthen the anti-smuggling crackdown in Lanfang waters.
After everything was ready, Gu Kun had his "Nightingale" and new submarine set off.
Others don't know the specific coordinates of "Nanyang No. 1", but Gu Kun will not be fooled by Mitchell's smoke bomb.
If we want to pick up the "Nanyang No. 1" and ship it before the end of June, it will definitely be too late.
But it should be no problem to use Mitchell Hatcher as a banner to establish his authority.
