Chapter 110: Sacrificial Flag
Mitchell Hatcher started a week after the start of work, over the weekend. Some uninvited guests hurried to Lan Fang to see Gu Kun.
Gu Kun was a little surprised, but he was still very eager to meet him in his invincible seaview villa: "Manager He, why are you here again......?
It was He Lan who pulled the strings, so Gu Kun subconsciously thought that there was something wrong with the oil exploration cooperation, and said in his heart that it shouldn't be.
He Lan was very reluctant to see Gu Kun: "What kind of attitude do you have? We are also old friends and alumni who have cooperated for many years, do we have to come to you if there is a problem in the oil field and the stock market? I am here for your safety, you said that you want to contact us one-way, so no matter what happens, I will come forward to help you isolate you." ”
"It's okay, I'm welcome-the main thing is that the battle with Soros has reached a white-hot state at the end of the day, and my nerves are relatively tense. Gu Kun explained.
Only has a one-line contact with He Lan, and everything is done through her to sell favors, which has always been the safety rule set by Gu Kun.
In this way, there is no need to worry about so many relevant departments in China, the sense of confidentiality is different, and there are many people.
Anyway, Gu Kun didn't directly promise the relevant departments anything, it was He Lan's great powers, and somehow he went around abroad, and he got a mysterious person who could help.
Then after the relevant departments got the help of the mysterious person, they should be regarded as owing He Lan a favor, and the next time He Lan has something, he will ask the relevant departments for help.
He Lan is a personal love stack.
After seeing Gu Kun's attitude and confirming that the other party's spirit was indeed not very good, He Lan also believed it a little: "It seems that you have really been devoted to the affairs of Hong Kong stocks recently, and you have not heard anything else outside the window, and you have not heard such big news in the industry - Mitchell Hatcher should be familiar with this person, right? He has recently come to Nanhua Xiahai to make waves." ”
Gu Kun's spirit is in good spirits, he is too familiar with this name, after all, this is the ancestor of the contemporary shipwreck thief. When Gu Kun started his own business, he grabbed the first pot of gold by fishing boats and the like, and many of them used the reborn prophet to plagiarize the exploration results of Mitchell Hatcher in his previous life.
So Gu Kun replied very dryly: "Of course I know this person." Why, he now also wants to take advantage of the lack of money and financial difficulties in Southeast Asian countries, so he is here to get a vote?"
He Lan: "If it's just to get a vote, it's none of our business." The point is that this guy cooperates with Filipino maids, and he also chooses to provoke us!"
Then, He Lan spent a few minutes analyzing what Mitchell Hatcher did and the international law conspiracy behind it.
When Gu Kun heard this, of course, he was also very indignant: "Sure enough, those Bretons have always been thieves, and they want to disgust us at every turn! I didn't say it, what do you want me to do? I am obligated to snipe Mitchell, of course, I am afraid that you have other plans, then I must respect your plan, after all, I have never acted privately in your country's territorial waters." ”
Gu Kun didn't expect that Mitchell Hatcher would make a move on the "Nanyang No. 1" so quickly.
Gu Kun himself also knows the specific coordinates of "Nanyang No. 1", and knows that this ship is the most valuable ship in the history of shipwreck salvage in the entire Southeast Asian seas, but Gu Kun has never used his brains in this regard.
As soon as the business came to his point, even if the things on a boat were worth at least 500 million US dollars, it was not necessary for Gu Kun to make money.
He wanted to earn the money before, because those goods were made from the territorial waters and even the high seas of Indonesians, Vietnamese, and Filipinos, and Gu Kun had no psychological barriers.
He is still very patriotic in nature, and he also knows that China's national strength will become stronger and stronger in the future, and he must not offend or do anything that hurts the feelings of the nation for money. Therefore, he never touched the interests of Huaxia's territorial waters.
"Nanyang No. 1" is located in the east of the Missha Islands and the waters south of the Isa Islands, and it is still a slightly disputed area between Huaxia and the Filipino maids, but in later generations, as China became stronger and stronger, before Gu Kun was reborn, the Filipino maids had long been left with scum and gave up all illegal attempts.
According to the history of the previous life, the "Nanyang No. 1" should have been completely picked up by the Chinese side in the 21st century, and there was no rumor of auction in the international market - mainly because Huaxia is a responsible big country, and it has long stopped counting on cultural relics to earn foreign exchange, and the things that are picked up will not be sold, and they are all handed over to the national museum for collection and exhibition, so the question of "how much is it worth" is meaningless.
Now, it should be Gu Kun who has eaten up a lot of historical rumors accumulated by Mitchell Hatcher in advance, which slightly led to some butterfly effects, so that Hatcher has no better goal when he returns to Southeast Asia, so he starts to take risks.
For reason, reason, and benefit, Gu Kun wants to stop him.
He Lan saw that he was so righteous, and he also saved a lot of words, so he suggested bluntly: "I don't know, whether you are willing to accept the authorization of the country." Of course, we must adhere to the seriousness of the relevant rules and regulations. We do not have a 'sharing system' of cultural relics salvage cooperation model in China, and there is no such provision in the law.
If you are willing to accept our public interest maritime academic cooperation, then I can immediately go to the relevant department that entrusted me with it and give you an approval—but our bottom line is that the belongings of the ancient Arabs on board, the general equivalent or negotiable goods on board, can belong to you. Everything 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 gave him a detailed interpretation.
Roughly speaking, on ancient Arabian ships, if there were gold and silver currency, Gu Kun could take them all, and he could open the net and not count them as cultural relics. Maybe those ancient Arabs still had jewelry, which was in the style of Middle Eastern culture, and these are not Chinese cultural relics.
During the Tang Dynasty, black-clothed food merchants and Persian Hu merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty to do business often chose to trade Sogdian gold coins or other Sassanid gold coins for the convenience of transporting money from thousands of miles, so the gold and silver on the ships were not necessarily ingots.
But these are not important to Gu Kun, he is not running for money in the first place, and being able to deal with Mitchell Hatcher, even if there is no economic benefit, is a good thing for Gu Kun.
What's more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get the legal authorization of the Chinese side, and 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——
Come to think of it, the Bretons only received a pseudo-approval and pseudo-authorization from the Filipino maid, and this pseudo-authorization has no international gold in the first place. Moreover, there are a lot of legal authorizations for Filipino maids in the Sulawesi Sea, the Sulu Sea and other regions, which are not scarce.
Huaxia has always been known for not issuing external authorizations (mainly stipulating that only part-time jobs can be obtained, and no share-sharing system is allowed, so no foreigners accept such conditions.) The interaction between the parties has led to no precedent for such approval)
Today, if Gu Kun is officially authorized, he will be the first foreigner to receive such authorization, and he will more or less symbolically receive some non-cultural relics such as gold and silver.
This matter can be interpreted well and can be operated as "the support of the relevant departments of China for the Lan side", and further interpreted as the 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 been cleaned up, and no one should laugh at anyone, saying that the other side does not pay attention to the value of capital and does not evaluate the objective real 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 the tricks that can destroy the other party's emotions can be used.
Pandora's box was opened first by a handful of Wall Street dogs, and the counterattackers were just accompanied.
Hearing that Gu Kunken agreed to this seemingly harsh economic condition, He Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she returned to China to explain: "I didn't expect you to be so patriotic, you can actually agree to this, I thought you would have to make a counteroffer, such as asking for two or three ancient cultural relics." ”
Gu Kun was very self-aware: "If I don't want to do it, you can do it yourself, right?" ”
He Lan: "That's different, Mitchell Hatcher's smoke bomb is very well placed, and he has applied for a lot of survey coordinates and handed over a lot of additional application fees to the Filipinos, and outsiders don't know the specific coordinates of the real thing."
Besides, it is not convenient for us to intensify relations with Filipinos at the moment, and it would be best to use our authorization and have 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 readily agreed, he knew that what He Lan said was the truth.
One thing to say, the attitude of Filipino maids towards China is also staged. For example, in the 2010s, after Commander Du came to power, he was still relatively friendly, and future improvements must be acknowledged.
But the period that began in the mid-90s, especially the six years that Fidel Ramos was in power, was indeed a turning point that was not very friendly to China. From the late 80s to the 92s, China's main dispute in the southern territorial waters was with the Vietnamese in the west. But after Ramos came up in '92, he began to do things in the east.
In particular, after the current financial crisis, in a short period of more than half a year, Ramos washed and beached some ships on certain Chinese islands, and made all kinds of clamours, making it clear that he was alleviating the people's suffering in the financial crisis with the attitude of paying attention to foreign nationalities. Beggar-thy-neighbor.
At this time, since the Filipinos have approved a third-party foreigner to develop it, it is more convenient for Gu Kun to disrupt the situation as a third-party foreigner.
After sending He Lan away, Gu Kun immediately called Du Guowei and asked him to immediately make all the preparations before setting sail.
At the same time, Gu Kun also specially purchased a decommissioned submarine from Huaxia in the name of the Lanfang Coastal Patrol.
His only requirement is to be a little more durable, the maximum depth must be large enough, as for the armament, it doesn't matter, the name of procurement is to strengthen the anti-smuggling attack in the Lanfang sea area.
After everything was ready, Gu Kun let people set off in his "Nightingale" and the new submarine.
Others don't know the specific coordinates of "Nanyang No. 1", but Gu Kun will not be confused by Mitchell's smoke bomb.
If you want to pick up and ship the "Nanyang No. 1" before the end of June, it will definitely not be able to catch up.
But with Mitchell Hatcher, it should be fine.
