After the first small test of salvage, Gu Kun also realized that it was very difficult to find the wreck by himself.

Because the Ranfang Islands were ancient and directly on the route of trade between the East and the West.

Instead, it was from the main channel at that time, and it had to deviate by tens or hundreds of nautical miles.

Therefore, the ships that can sink in the shallow waters around Lanfang are unlikely to be large merchant ships, but more of a civilian ship of immigrants, and the wealth on board is much less. may make a net profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It can only be said that the archaeological and historical and cultural significance is relatively large, and in the future, you can open a maritime memorial history museum or something, which can be regarded as a merit - because the country is too small, there is no museum so far, whether it is national or private.

In the future, if you really want to make a lot of money by salvaging shipwrecks, you will mainly have to rely on the coordinates of those famous shipwrecks that Gu Kun remembered by reading declassified information and industry news in his previous life.

It's just that most of those sunken ships are not within 50 nautical miles of Lanfang, and in the future, he will have to rely on the ships under his absolute control, so he can secretly use the research ships officially rented from the Huaxia National Design Institute, which is inevitably a little inconvenient.

He is a principled person, and he does not dare to mess around at home, so even if he fishes for ships in the future, he will only try to secretly and exclusively fish for sunken ships in the exclusive economic zone of Indonesians and Vietnamese, or ships at the mouth of the Gulf of Siam.

As for the boats within the nine-dash line, he will definitely not steal them. Either after finding out, cooperate with the Chinese side to salvage, pay taxes according to the regulations, and give the share and supply.

Either after those well-known Brittan poachers have been targeted, they will cooperate with the relevant departments to carry out protective and defensive salvage.

In short, the general principle is not to mess around within the territorial waters of China.

……

After another week, the research ship returned to Lanfang Port after surveying the terrain of the surrounding channel and thousands of square nautical miles.

It was July 5th.

Before docking at the port, Gu Kun had already notified the relevant parties by satellite phone at sea and expressed his goodwill.

Therefore, the domestic side also sent several commissioners in advance to wait for the reception at Lanfang Port.

They took a few boxes of less valuable but historically valuable artifacts and flew home from Kuching.

The leader of the team also said that when Gu Kun went to Huaxia to study in September, he would make up a few more donation ceremonies, and then there would be department-level leaders from the relevant provincial cultural departments to speak and shake hands with him and take a group photo. At the same time, the Chinese side also gave some qualitative documents to deal with this matter, listing Gu Kun as a model of international friendly cultural exchanges.

For the benefits of this kind of face brushing, Gu Kun will certainly not refuse. This is also to increase his exposure in China, maybe because of this, after the domestic Southeast Asian tourism heats up after 97, many people will choose him to spend here.

It's like casting a long line to catch a big fish.

After taking care of the donations, Gu Kun began to think about how to send the Chinese personnel on the inspection ship away.

He set up a few tables of banquets in the best hotel in Lanfang Port, and invited all domestic technicians, including Du Guowei and Zhang Baihui, to have a good meal.

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Kun proposed: "Du Gong, you see, we have also finished measuring the seabed terrain of the incoming and outgoing channels around Lanfang Port, I have seen that the total coverage area of these days is nearly 5,000 square nautical miles."

On President Xu's side, the data needed for port planning should be enough. I was also anxious to see the final design as soon as possible, and I didn't want Dean Xu to wait for my data and be delayed......

So, why don't I book a plane ticket to Kuching tomorrow and send you back to China? As for this boat, I paid 1 million yuan in rent, and there are more than 50 days to lease, and I think I should have the right to use it freely. You can rest assured, the boat will definitely be sailed back when the time comes. ”

Gu Kun used this excuse to support the crew of the Huaxia side, and the reason was still very sufficient.

Relying on Gu Kun's ability to force it, it only took 15 days to complete the area that was originally expected to take more than two months to measure, which is equivalent to a five-fold increase in efficiency.

Because Gu Kun had paid the rent, and there were nearly two full months left in the lease period, he naturally had the right to continue to use the boat.

Du Guowei thought for a while and symbolically resisted: "Before I set sail, Dean Xu's explanation was that I must return to China before September 1...... The project breakdown and design progress on their side are all stuck in this rhythm. So it's still early. ”

Gu Kun's face was flat: "The sooner the better! I am Party A! I gave the design fee, do you want to see that the design plan is wrong as soon as possible? I, the boss of Party A, personally accompanies you to speed up the collection of data, and you Party B designers are embarrassed to prevaricate me?"

Now Du Guowei was completely speechless.

For example, a locksmith, in order to make residents feel that the 50 yuan unlocking fee they paid is worth it, will often toss a simple lock that can be opened in more than ten seconds, and toss it for two or three minutes before opening it.

In this way, the heart of the person who pays for it is happy.

In the field of design, many designers in design institutes just take the past drawings and apply them, and they may have slightly changed their places. But if the design is too fast, Party A's father will think that you are worthless, and maybe he will toss you two more times.

As soon as Gu Kun said that, it showed that he understood the trickiness here, and he personally took the materials from Party A and asked you to speed up, but you were really embarrassed to refuse.

"However, this ship is worth tens of millions, and we took into account your friendly attitude at the beginning, and only collected the rent and forfeited the deposit. If all of our people are gone......" Du Guowei thought about it, and finally there was such a defense left.

Gu Kun: "Am I this kind of person? You see that even the extra money I get is fully communicated with you, friendly donations and cooperation, and you are still afraid that I will run away? I don't have tens of millions of deposits, but my friendship with so many friends in Huaxia is not enough for me to do such a self-defeating thing!"

At this time, his consistent friendly attitude toward China came into play.

Du Guowei asked for instructions again, and the design institute relented.

Gu Kun successfully deceived all the crew members of Huaxia.

He immediately replaced the ship with his own henchmen, and also recruited Long Wu and Chen Li back - as early as when Gu Kun first got on the ship, he brought his subordinates, not only Gao Jianxiong. So his people have been secretly learning the precautions for driving survey ships.

After half a month of running-in, there is no obstacle at all to drive the boat and locate the wreck to get something. It's nothing more than modeling and drawing and other homework, and Gu Kun's coarse people can't do it. But it doesn't matter, Gu Kun just needs to keep the relevant data and send it to Du Guowei when the time comes, so that they can slowly draw it again.

As for Long Wu and Chen Li, after they were transferred back, the fleet of Gu Kun's three fishing boats was handed over to Gao Jianxiong to lead the team, plus several other new crew members who had been tested in recent months, and let them routinely take them to the sea to fish and do foreign trade with China.

……

Long Wu and Chen Li returned to the port two days later, and after they arrived, they went straight to Gu Kun as soon as possible to listen to the instructions.

The loyalty of these two people has been tested for a long time, and they are not of Chinese nationality, so Gu Kun is not afraid of them having more complications, and he said bluntly when they met:

"In the past half a month, I have actually found more than one boat, but I think that if I cooperate with the Chinese side to fish, it will be difficult to do the confidentiality work, and it will be easy to be targeted, so I have not said anything.

Now, I'm going to take you to get the wreck I've already located - everyone remember to keep their mouths shut, on the ship, you can't easily let the crew know their location information, and no one is allowed to enter the captain's room to look at the equipment, understand?"

At sea, not the average crew member knows their precise location.

Experienced sailors can certainly follow the ancient methods of looking at the sun and the stars, using a sextant theodolite, and time differences, but the error of these methods is at least a few points of latitude and longitude, that is, more than a dozen kilometers.

Therefore, Gu Kun's first priority in this secret operation is to prevent his grassroots crew from knowing the specific and precise coordinates when the shipwreck was finally discovered.

lest anyone find out that "this ship was actually fished in the waters relatively close to Indonesia's exclusive economic zone", in case it reaches the ears of Indonesians in the future, it will be unnecessary trouble.

"Boss, don't worry, we know what to do. You are so amazing, you can find so many ships in half a month of seabed surveying. Long Wu patted his chest and packed the ticket, saying that there would be absolutely no leakage.

He didn't know that some of Gu Kun's words were even deceived by him.

Because the so-called "newly discovered ship" was not newly discovered by Gu Kun himself.

It's the coordinates he recorded in his previous life.

He just took advantage of the information that Long Wu hadn't gone to sea with him half a month ago to find an excuse for his persecution.

This is also the reason why Gu Kun didn't take Gao Jianxiong to fish together, because Gao Jianxiong followed him for half a month and knew which sea areas he had been to and which ones he had not.

If Gu Kun said in front of Gao Jianxiong that he had discovered a shipwreck outside the survey area by surveying the topography of the seabed, wouldn't it be a gang.

At this moment, Gu Kun didn't break it, so he calmly accepted Long Wu's compliment.

Chen Li, who was more careful, frowned and thought for a while beside her, and sighed: "I knew that the first ship you found didn't need to be fished with Huaxia." At that time, I put up with it, secretly put down the sitting mark, and then scoop it up after we took over, so we didn't have to donate anything. ”

Gu Kun was stunned for a moment, he could hear that Chen Li was thinking about his interests.

However, this is still a bit petty.

Gu Kun smiled and patted Chen Li's shoulder: "Sister Chen, you have to take a long-term view as a person." What I worked with them to catch was the least valuable, and it was a very good attempt.

At present, there are no laws and administrative regulations for international cooperation in maritime archaeology in China, which is a blank. In the blank field, isn't it worth creating a precedent that can be cited in the future, setting the tone and setting the personality? There are many shipwrecks in the sea. ”

Although China is a civil law country, it does not pay attention to case law. However, in the field of legal gaps, precedent is still quite effective, and Gu Kun's throwing stones to ask for directions has really created a stable environment for him.

"So that's the case, or the boss sees it far......" Chen Li was secretly ashamed in her heart.
