Section 2 Treasure Hunting
"What's the good news?"
"I've got you in touch. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Ren Jian finally put down his chopsticks. "As long as the thing is okay, it can definitely be sold. β
"So fast?" Lu Wu was surprised. "You have a lot of channels......"
"Cut, Lu Wu, in fact, channels have never been a problem. Ren Jian shook his fat head, and said that it hadn't been long since the loss of the contract, and he seemed to have gained a little weight again. "It's all about money. If you want to find contacts, you can always find them, but it is much more difficult to find money...... Do you know Mr. Ma in our school's history department?"
Lu Wu said that he didn't know - even if he did, he forgot now. After all, they are far away from the history department. He only vaguely remembered that Mr. Ma should be a manβa middle-aged man in his forties, with an ordinary appearance. The reason why I have this impression seems to be some group activity, this Teacher Ma is the instructor of Lu Wu's class.
"Ah, so you don't know how to use precious resources. Let me tell you, Mr. Ma graduated from Peking University with a major in archaeology, and his teacher -- who is called Shigong according to our rank -- is a big name in the field of Chinese archaeology. Belong to the kind of university scholar who gets the ****** allowance grade. Ren Jian said proudly. "An academic leader in the industry. β
"Can you speak more quickly?"
"It's complicated to say, but it's actually very simple to do, anyway, after his introduction, I met with President Song of the W City Appreciation Association...... Is it the president or the honorary president? Anyway, it doesn't matter, I just got the promise...... But Lu Wu, are you really sure?"
W City Connoisseurship Association. Lu Wu gently repeated the noun again.
In the 21st century, with the increase in the number of wealthy people in China, Chinese mainland followed the old rule of "prosperous antiques and troubled gold", setting off a nationwide trend of rising antique collection. As a large coastal city, W City has naturally been affected by this trend. In the current W city, if a businessman does not have a few antique collections at home, he is considered to be unclassy.
The W-City Connoisseurship Association, on the other hand, is a well-known organization in the field of local antiques, and has organized (and perhaps sponsored) many of those TV treasure shows. So even Lu Wu will not be unfamiliar with the name of this association. Legend has it that this connoisseurship association is an antique circulation channel that claims to have no fakes (Lu Wu thinks this is impossible, but at least there are fewer fakes).
In short, the association itself has become a gathering place for the city's wealthy, and the members of the association have even become a symbol of the status of the city.
"What are you talking about?" Amber kept listening, but couldn't get enough of it. Of course, this has nothing to do with the language, and now Amber has completely mastered the Chinese language.
"That's what we said last time. Lu Wu said.
"It's that ......" Amber's expression was obviously a sign of leaking mouth, and Lu Wu hurriedly coughed lightly to remind him. "Treasure hunting?"
"Ah, Lu Wu has already told you?" Ren Jian was now smiling all over his face, but his smile was still different for different people. For Amber, it was a sincere flattering smile, and for Lu Wu, it was a jealous and dead skin smile. "Go to sea to hunt for treasure...... You must not know that Lu Wu, this kid once wanted to be an explorer. You know, expeditioning is no longer a profession, it's a hobby, and even climbing Mount Everest has to pay for it. If you really want to make money with adventure, there is actually only one option...... That's treasure hunting!"
"Treasure hunting?"
"That's right, our Lu Wu...... Before I met you...... No, it should be said that when I was in college, my biggest dream was to go treasure hunting, so he specially collected relevant information, oh, by the way, you should have read it. β
With that, Ren Jian came to Lu Wu's computer. Speaking of which, Ren Jian really has a self-familiar and anti-customer-oriented temperament, that natural attitude, if a person who doesn't know, he still thinks that this computer is his.
"Look, this is it. β
Ren Jian clicked on a video, and two hosts appeared, a man and a woman, and several guests, discussing a certain topic.
"The following are the results of this deep-sea exploration...... Look, here's a sonar rendering......"
A picture is zoomed in on the screen. "This is an ancient shipwreck, judging by its appearance......"
This video is an edit of a TV show, or a more sensational TV show of the year. The content of the news is actually simple, a certain unit in China conducted an experiment on the high seas and accidentally discovered an ancient shipwreck. Through various modern techniques, relevant experts have deduced that this is an ancient shipwreck that is quite old, and it is an ancient Chinese shipwreck.
According to the speculation of a group of experts, the ship should have been from the Song Dynasty, and possibly even a Chinese ship from the Tang Dynasty. The discovery of this shipwreck further proves the splendor of ancient Chinese culture and illustrates the exchange between ancient China and the world.
Well, the above is all official words. What really touches the heart is that the ship is a "treasure ship". According to documents that historians have dug through somewhere, the ship may have contained a large amount of precious metals and various rare treasures. At that time, Chinese and Arab merchants already had a seafaring trade, buying all kinds of spices, precious stones and other specialties from foreign countries, and selling precious porcelain and silk produced in China. According to the experts' macro estimates, if the ship can be salvaged, its value is quite amazing, and if it can be measured by the value of "antiques", it can even be calculated in the unit of "100 million US dollars".
On the screen, the host is turning the topic to this aspect that the broad masses of the people like the most.
"So, Professor Zhang, do you think it's possible for us to salvage this wreck?"
"From a technical point of view, it is feasible. The expert replied. "But it is undeniable that this will be a very difficult job and a certain amount of danger. Because the seabed topography in this area is relatively complex, it is difficult to locate and transport it. In addition to this, the ownership of the wreck is also an issue. It's on the high sea......"
Lu Wu stinked and looked at the video he had collected. In fact, to be honest, this video will be shown to Amber sooner or later, but Lu Wu really hopes that he can heal his injury, and watch this with Amber and discuss this topic by the way, but he didn't expect Ren Jian to intervene like this.
"Lu Wu," taking advantage of Amber to watch the video carefully, Ren Jian came to Lu Wu's side. "You kid...... took such a big advantage and still showed this expression!"
"What did I get cheaper?"
"It's cheap and good! Amber is living with you!" Ren Jian's expression was really outright envy, jealousy and hatred. "Such a good girl delivered to the door for free...... I can't wait to burn you to death! Why don't I have such good luck? It's strange, it stands to reason that a good person like me should accumulate good fortune and virtue, why did my sister find you?"
The profiteer was able to say this kind of thing without changing his face, and Lu Wu almost wanted to mention that Ren Jian was hunted down by the entire girls' dormitory when he sold rotten fruits.
They deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, and it stands to reason that Amber, who was watching the video carefully, could not hear it, but Lu Wu couldn't guarantee this.
The ten-minute video is finally over.
"This, Lu Wu...... That's what you want to salvage?"
"That's right, this is the wreck that Lu Wu wants to salvage. Lu Wu hadn't spoken yet, and Ren Jian did it directly. "Legendary treasure ship, it's a shame to let it sleep, isn't it?"
"Speaking of which, deep-sea salvage requires a lot of professionals and professional tools, at least professional divers, submarines and the like. The boat may be easier to get, but you can't rent one. But where do you get these professionals and professional tools? Surely you get a set of diving equipment like trying it out? Diving is not a simple thing, I went to Hainan when I dived once, and that feeling was ...... It's really not something that ordinary people can stand it, but fortunately, the coach pulled me by force and pulled me into the water, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to dive at all!"
"You care about me so much!" Lu Wu felt that he couldn't stand it anymore. Ren Jian, this guy, really gave a little sunshine and began to shine.
"Okay, I don't care, but if I get it, I can pack the ticket in terms of sales!" Ren Jian patted his chest vigorously, indicating that he was reliable. "I'm leaving. By the way, thank you Amber for making the dish, it was really delicious. I'm sure that Lu Wu will definitely overdraw his blessing in the next life with you as his companion, and he will have to be a bachelor for the rest of his life to make up for this arrears...... Oh, maybe three lifetimes. β
After saying this, Ren Jian once again sent Lu Wu a look of envy, jealousy and hatred, and said goodbye and left.
I said, what the hell are you kid here for?!" Lu Wu wanted to cry and looked at the dishes on the table without tears. Amber may have itchy hands today, but perhaps she foresaw this at all and made quite a few dishes. However, Lu Wu was very sure that among so many dishes, he ate at most thirty percent.
I really didn't know that fat man could eat so much in the past.
"That...... Lu Wu, do you want to go treasure hunting?" After Ren Jian left, Amber finally asked. "What's in the wreck is valuable?"
"Of course, these are antiques, and they're worth a lot of money. Lu Wu replied. Being so stirred up by Ren Jian, he felt a little embarrassed. In fact, he himself thinks that it is a bit stupid for him to collect these materials. Normal people just watch this kind of news to see the excitement, and it is impossible and will not have the idea of "such a treasure ship, it is better for me to salvage". Even if you have this idea, you will give up after a little consultation. Because for ordinary people, this is something that is completely impossible to do. Not to mention anything else, deep-sea salvage technology alone is not accessible to ordinary people at all. This is not a generator, you can buy it if you have money. And only the state or the likes of large state-sponsored corporations have this ability.
But the problem is that Lu Wu is not an ordinary person now. In other words, he has a power that ordinary people can't have at the moment - that is, Amber, who is a magical otherworldter.
