Chapter 321: The Significance of Testing
On the straight and endless intercontinental highway, a brilliant blue figure quickly skimmed over the pastures and forests on both sides of the road, heading towards its destination.
Qin Xu held the steering wheel with one hand and rested on the window with one hand bored, driving alone is indeed very boring, especially on this kind of intercontinental highway where you can't see a car for half a day.
If it weren't for the fact that from time to time, a few naughty deer would suddenly pop out on the road, Qin Xu would even suspect that he was the only one left in this world.
Time always passes unconsciously, an hour's journey, in the blink of an eye.
Driving McLaren, Qin Xu walked around Boston for a while, and then found the metal detection center of Doug Industries in a suburb near the sea.
"Is it Mr. Qin? My name is Tony, and I'm the person in charge here. ”
As soon as Qin Xu got out of the car, a middle-aged white man in white overalls and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses walked up enthusiastically to say hello, obviously Doug had already told him in advance.
"Hello, hello, Tony, just call me Qin, I'm sorry for you. ”
Politely stretched out his hand and shook the Tony in front of him, who looked like a gentleman, and Qin Xu said hello with a smile.
"Then you're welcome, Qin, please come inside, the equipment is ready. ”
Maybe it's because of his perennial technology, Tony doesn't have much experience in dealing with people, so after a polite word, he took Qin Xu directly inside.
Qin Xu didn't mind, he didn't like the kind of polite people who came and went, so he followed Tony directly into the testing center.
"Qin, I don't know what you're going to test this time?"
After welcoming Qin Xu into the reception room and sitting down, Tony motioned to the little secretary next to him, who was a little hot but looked very average, to make a cup of coffee, and then cut straight to the point.
"That's it, I want to check if it's silver, and what the purity is. ”
took out three metal blocks the size of a turning head from his briefcase, and Qin Xu was not polite, and pushed them directly to Tony.
"Oh, this seems to be silver, isn't it? Well, it seems like it's been some years, just out to sea?"
In the end, Tony didn't shy away from being a sociable person, and asked directly.
Maybe it was because he saw that Qin Xu's expression was a little wrong, and after Tony finished speaking, he also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, but for a while, he didn't know how to remedy it, so he quickly changed the topic and said:
"That's it, Qin, you wait here for a while, and I'll help you test the purity and age. ”
After finishing speaking, Tony took the pieces of metal and ran out in Qin Xu's slightly depressed eyes.
"This guy doesn't know how he got into this position. ”
Shaking his head, Qin Xu took a sip lightly, and the coffee sent by the slightly hot little secretary smiled wryly.
Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why he can be the person in charge here, after all, this is a technical unit. It's a place where technology speaks.
didn't let Qin Xu wait for a long time, and after about half an hour, Tony hurriedly walked in with a few pieces of Qin Xu's metal and a few documents in his hand.
"Qin, this is indeed silver, but the purity is not ideal. ”
Looking at Qin Xu with some regret, although Tony was very curious about where Qin Xu salvaged the silver, he didn't ask recklessly this time.
"Oh, how pure is that?"
Originally, after hearing Tony's first half of the sentence and knowing that these things were silver, Qin Xu's heartbeat had just soared to one hundred and eighteen, but when he heard this guy say that the purity was not too high, he immediately became a little apprehensive.
"Well, it's only about 90 percent, and the magazine is a bit too much, which should be the reason why the refining techniques of the year can't reach it. ”
After explaining a few words to Qin Xu with a little regret, Tony suddenly seemed to think of something, so he continued:
"That's right, Qin, the detection of carbon 14, it will take some time, and the specific age is not clear for the time being. I'll let you know tomorrow when the results are out. ”
"Well, okay, in that case, then I'll take my leave. ”
Nodding and saying hello to him, Qin Xu took the test report and drove to the ranch.
Along the way, perhaps because of his good mood, the originally boring journey, Qin Xu didn't feel bored.
Looking at the woods and pastures that were skimmed by from time to time on the side of the road, Qin Xu felt that it was so vibrant, and he didn't feel that late autumn was approaching at all.
As soon as he returned to the villa, before Qin Xu could park the car, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Hey, Qin, how is it, is the matter done?"
Douglas's slightly magnetic voice passed into Qin Xu's ears through his mobile phone.
"Well, just came back, thank you again, Doug. ”
Although he complained in his heart that this guy was so good at calculating time, Qin Xu still greeted him politely, after all, people did help him a lot.
"That's good, what, Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, when will you come to New York, and everyone will get together again?"
Contrary to Qin Xu's expectations, Douglas did not talk about the topic of silver, but asked him to go to New York for a gathering.
"Well, my ranch has been undergoing a major renovation recently, and I'll go over and have a few drinks with you when I'm done with it in a few days. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Xu understood this guy's scruples, this kind of thing is safer to say in person, and it is not too safe on the phone.
Now that he has figured it out, Qin Xu is not in the ink, but considering that the ranch has been being renovated recently, he still postponed the time by a few days.
After a few more polite words, Qin Xu hung up the phone, playing with the local tyrant gold in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a perfect arc, he didn't expect that this time the purpose would be successfully achieved so easily.
In fact, not to mention just identifying the authenticity of the silver nuggets, even if it is an antique that others can't identify, Qin Xu can identify it in minutes.
Don't forget, Qin Xu has identification skills, but although he can identify the authenticity, he can't identify the purity.
Moreover, Qin Xu also had his own thoughts in his heart. With so much silver, I definitely won't keep it for myself, and since I don't keep it, it will definitely be sold.
But how to sell this is another way of saying. After all, his silver was not salvaged on the high seas, and if the government found out, it would not be fun.
According to international salvage law, if an ownerless shipwreck is not salvaged on the high seas, then the first owner is the country that owns the sea area.
In other words, the wreck you salvaged in US waters, even if the original country or individual did not come to rob you, but what you salvaged belongs to the United States.
This also means that the batch of silver in Qin Xu's hands is actually not very upright and bright.
If he wants to sell, if he takes the initiative to sell it, the price will definitely be lower.
Rather than that, it is better to wait for others to take the initiative to come to the door, and the reason why he went to Doug's testing center is also what he meant.
Qin Xu believes that Tony, this guy, must have informed Douglas of everything today when he just went out.
Don't look at him very good at talking, but he still knows the value that a sunken ship represents.
Thank you for the big 500 starting coins reward from the prodigal son, thank you for the support of the prodigal son,
