Chapter 152: Brother Yi, Get Rich!
The Kulb was close to the sea, with more than a meter of its hull soaked in the water, while the others leaned against the sand and reefs, so they didn't have to go into the water to fish, saving a lot of trouble.
When he reached the shore, Wang Weidong was the first to jump off the boat, carrying a gun and running towards the location of the hole, which was more than a man tall near the stern, and some gold nuggets were scattered in the sea near the hole.
The gold here is the same as the warship of the island country that Yang Yi encountered in the Gaspar Strait in Indonesia, all melted into gold bricks one by one, and the gold bricks on this Kurb are larger, each of which is almost twenty catties.
Wang Weidong went over to take it with one hand, almost didn't hold it steady, and only then did he grab a piece and look at it in detail, the boss with a grin on the corner of his mouth, almost looked up to the sky and laughed to express his excitement.
"Brother, look, gold brick!"
Seeing Yang Yi coming, he was holding the gold brick as if he was offering a treasure, and he didn't know what to say.
"Well, I see, old Sun, let the brothers go to the two of them to guard the island and the water, and the others will start loading the ship and lifting it with the crane on the ship!" Yang Yi turned his head and said to Sun Liancheng.
"Okay! I'll arrange this!"
After a while, the three young men climbed onto the deck of this sailboat, and Tan Pei from Yushan in southern Xinjiang also climbed onto the mast, startling everyone, for fear that the old grandfather's ship would fall off without explanation.
Later, he said that the people on it were very strong, so everyone went with him, and Sun Liancheng arranged for two people to find a big reef on the shore to set up a stronghold, a machine gun, a sniper rifle, and a shoulder-fired missile launcher and grenade launcher, which can be said to be armed to the teeth.
Yang Yi didn't care about these either, he knew that there was no danger on this island except for a few days of poisonous snakes, while Wang Weidong and the others were stunned when they looked at the gold in the cabin.
"I'm CTND, there's too much gold, and there's not so much in the bank vault, right?" Li Gui, who was honest, also scolded.
"It's so much!" Li Fu swallowed and said dryly.
The others were also dazzled, Yang Yi and Wang Weidong took a turn and looked at the quality and quantity of this batch of gold.
"Brother Yi, this batch of gold is obviously processed and refined, the impurity content is very small, and the quantity is enough, I think there are at least ten tons, this ship will not be for the English government to transport gold, right?" Wang Weidong said, he was also shocked, he had never seen so much gold piled together.
Ten tons is 10,000 kilograms, converted into grams is 10 million grams, and the market value is at least 20 billion, no wonder Wang Weidong has been talking about getting rich, their family is rich, but they don't have 20 billion funds, so much money in the room, can fill a house of more than 100 square meters.
However, Yang Yi was very indifferent, he had already seen the amount of this batch of gold, and although the batch on the warships of the island country was not so much, it was almost five or six tons, so his psychological endurance was much greater.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let's move it quickly, it's ours to transport it to our own ship, Lao Sun, this time press the point, all the people on the ship account for 10%, let everyone be careful, don't have unrealistic ideas!" Yang Yi spoke a little seriously.
"I understand, whoever dares to mess around will clean them up, and if they go down to 200 million points, they will be able to live well without working for the rest of their lives, I guarantee that whoever dares to make a bad idea will not need us, and some people are willing to help us solve it!" Sun Liancheng whispered.
"Well, let's go up there and have a look, let's hurry up!"
Yang Yi wasn't worried that he couldn't control the situation, but he didn't want these honest people to have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and he was tempted to put such a big pile of gold here, let alone ordinary people.
So this time he took the initiative to increase the money, on the one hand, to stabilize everyone's hearts and let them not have other ideas, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test it to see if someone took risks under such a heavy reward.
He and Wang Weidong also followed Zhang Feifei who followed behind to see the Western scenery, and the three of them walked along the old wooden staircase to the upper cabin, during which they opened another cabin, which was full of crystals, including blue crystal, green crystal, and some white crystal.
Wang Weidong pounced again, carefully checked one by one, crystal is a rare mineral, but also a kind of gemstone, crystal has been loved by people since ancient times, especially in the West, the enthusiasm for crystal is crazy.
The use of Chinese crystal also has a long history, and the ancient people called the crystal "water essence", "water jade", "millennium ice", "jade crystal" and "light stone" and so on. In the Buddhist scriptures, it is believed that the crystal will shine with magical spiritual light, which can purify all sentient beings, and the crystal is called "Bodhisattva Stone".
WHEN THE ANCIENT GREEKS DISCOVERED THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR OBJECT IN THE OLYMPIA MOUNTAINS, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ICE THAT HAD BEEN TURNED INTO ICE BY THE WILL OF THE GODS, SO THEY CALLED IT KRYSTALLOS, WHICH MEANS "WHITE ICE". The philosopher Aristotle believed that crystals evolved from ice over a long period of time, and were fossils of ice, and named them "crystals".
Crystal is also known as a symbol of light and strength, and bishops in Roman churches often wear amethyst rings during ceremonies and serve wine in crystal cups to ward off evil spirits. In Renaissance Europe, crystals were regarded as symbols of power, holiness, wealth, and beauty, so they were loved by people, especially noblewomen and young girls. In the mid-twenties of the nineteenth century, crystal jewelry became popular, and people used crystal to carve into a variety of exquisite ornaments, and both nobles and commoners were proud to get a piece of crystal ornaments.
In this context, in the colonial era of the 19th century, crystals were transported from colonies all over the world to the West as valuable goods as gold, and then processed into crafts by masters and sold, so it is not surprising that there were so many crystals on this ship.
Western Australia is extremely rich in mineral resources, mainly iron, gold, nickel, diamond, manganese, copper, coal, oil and natural gas, etc., ranking first in Australia and ranking among the top in the world. For example, Western Australia accounts for 19% of the world's total reserves of iron ore, ranking second in the world, diamonds account for 9% of the world's reserves, also ranking second, and gold accounts for 6% of the world's reserves, ranking third in the world.
This is only the reserves of a state in Western Australia, the entire Australian mineral resources, especially all kinds of precious ore resources, are extremely rich, the nineteenth century is the time of the great development of Western Australia, iron ore, coal mines, gold and other ships were shipped to the mother country - England, which encountered wind and waves and sank to the bottom of the sea I don't know how many, the entire Indian Ocean region is full of shipwrecks of England, France, Spain and other countries.
Of course, this is all Wang Weidong's knowledge of popular science to them, I have to say that this kid has a very high talent for gems and antiques, any rare gem can allow him to tell history, and can also draw inferences from the social and political environment at that time.
These gems are very numerous, they are all top-level natural gemstones, the value of Wang Weidong is not easy to estimate, the price of crystal is now not comparable to gold, but this thing is heavy, this pile is much heavier than gold, at least thirty or forty tons, after the skin is peeled, the value is less than 500 million, if you sell it according to the handicrafts, the price may be higher.
Explained to a crew guard, and when the gold was transported, these were also transported away, Yang Yi wanted to transport away some of the top ones, but Wang Weidong couldn't, he had to transport them together, and he was unwilling to leave them here.
There are also a few cabins filled with grain and coal, Wang Weidong and Yang Yi are not interested, more than 100 years of grain is about to become fossils, what is the use of transporting it back?
Then they went all the way to the cockpit, if there was any treasure on the ship, then it must be here, so after coming in, Wang Weidong began to look everywhere, and finally let him find out.
The captain's cabin in this cockpit is connected to a dark cabin, only about ten square meters, and it enters and exits through a secret door on the wall, which is really impossible to find if you don't look carefully. Of course, Yang Yi already knew about this place, and those diamonds were hidden inside, and he specially guided Wang Weidong to find them.
Opening this dark cabin, Wang Weidong was the first to get in, ran inside and rummaged through, opened the cabinet and took out a few bags, reached out and grabbed a handful, looked carefully at it by the light, and then opened another bag and grabbed a handful, so several times suddenly laughed wildly.
Zhang Feifei's smile on the side quickly hid behind Yang Yi, thinking that this brother-in-law was crazy, and it was not strange to suddenly get such a large batch of treasures and go crazy.
"Brother Yi, we're rich! We're rich! Hahaha......"
