"Captain Clyde, Ming'er, get ready to sail back!"

At the end of the day's work, Zhuang Rui stood on the deck, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a halo, which seemed extremely mysterious. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, in the eyes of the crew and sailors on the ship, Zhuang Rui is not only mysterious, but it is not an exaggeration to call it magical.

At the beginning of coming to this sea area, no one, including Captain Clyde, was optimistic about this salvage, after all, they all knew what happened in this sea area, and so many bombs were dropped, and the bottom of the sea was not turned upside down?

But when the whole box of gold surfaced with the sediment on the bottom of the sea, Zhuang Rui can now remember the bearded captain's shocked expression as if he had seen a ghost.

However, with more than half a month of salvage, except for a small amount of gold buried in the depths of the seabed, the gold remaining in this area and some of the artifacts on the sunken ship have been salvaged by Zhuang Rui, and there is no need to stay anymore.

"Boss, don't sift through it anymore, what if there's any gold left?"

After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Captain Clyde was obviously stunned for a moment, although he didn't know the price of antiques, but he knew gold, just the gold that came out of the water in half a month, at least worth more than two billion dollars, not to mention those exquisite utensils used in the lives of people in the Middle Ages.

You know, I don't know how many people are staring at the "Xuanrui" where they are every day, with red eyes, and every day, there are many old acquaintances of Clyde in Europe, knocking on the side to find out the news.

Since the news of Zhuang Rui's salvage of the shipwreck treasure in the sea monster area came out, for more than half a month, this sea area has been full of salvage ships from various countries, and even some diving enthusiasts on cruise ships have whimsically wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Even General Lasko sent a military salvage ship to wander around this sea area in the name of collecting monster corpses, in fact, the purpose was also for this batch of treasures under the sea.

However, deep-sea salvage requires a lot of preparation, and those salvage ships that came in a hurry, whether in terms of equipment or survey methods, are far inferior to the "Xuanrui".

Every day, watching boxes of gold being salvaged by Zhuang Rui, these gold diggers can only stare dryly from the sidelines, as for those diving enthusiasts, they are even more unreliable, they think they are "people from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean"?

However, Zhuang Rui's "Xuanrui" can salvage gold, which shows that there is indeed gold on the bottom of the sea, so there are more and more salvage ships and gold diggers gathered, and some people even named this batch of gold, called "The Treasure of the Sea Monster".

"Haha, let's eat meat, and we have to leave a bowl of soup for others to drink......"

Zhuang Rui laughed loudly when he heard this, there is indeed a small amount of gold in the silt within twenty or thirty meters of the seabed, but compared to the price that needs to be paid for salvage, I am afraid that even if it is fished, there is no profit.

Within a radius of miles around the bottom of the sea, there are also some treasures that have been rolled and scattered by monsters, but most of the chests containing gold are broken, and if you want to salvage it, it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

So Zhuang Rui didn't care about the arrival of these salvage ships at all, and the endless treasures of the ocean were destined to be owned by him alone.

It's just that the bearded captain didn't understand this, and after hearing Zhuang Rui's words, he hesitated and said, "Boss, didn't you teach me? No matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat, why do you leave it for these people?"

Although Clyde knew that the salvage of the gold had little to do with him, and at most he would get a bonus, but the thrill of the treasure hunt and the feeling of being complimented by other captains every day made the bearded captain flutter and didn't want to end the salvage so quickly.

"Alright, my captain, there are endless treasures in this ocean, so why bother with this......?

Zhuang Rui knew Clyde's thoughts, and the old man was also suffocated by him, and he didn't want to go back when he went to sea, but Zhuang Rui didn't have that much effort to grind here, and his "golden city" in Beijing was now waiting for rice to cook.

Zhuang Rui is the boss, although Clyde is a little reluctant, he still nodded and said: "Okay, boss, as you wish, we will return tomorrow......"

When many Taobao people in this sea area saw that the "Xuanrui" that occupied the golden treasure land finally left, they couldn't help but celebrate, and they couldn't wait to come to the coordinate point in front of the Xuanrui one by one, and started the dream of a box full of gold.

However, the reality is cruel, after those Taobao people spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and only found gold from the mud on the bottom of the sea, which was not as valuable as the cost of fuel and labor, they almost vomited blood in anger.

The treasure fever derived from the sea monster has lasted for nearly half a year, and the shipowners who almost lost their underwear have gradually disappeared into this sea area, of course, these are all later words.

……

"Mr. Zhuang, Wishing you prosperity ah......"

"Mr. Qian, you are really rich, we are also old friends, can't your commission be less?"

In the hall of the Beijing Auction House, Zhuang Rui was chatting with Mr. Qian, while Peng Fei was sitting next to him with a bored face, looking at the white-collar workers of the company who came in and out.

Today, Zhuang Rui is wearing a traditional red Tang costume, although most of the old people wear this dress, but on Zhuang Rui, it makes his temperament more and more elegant.

It's been a few months since I came back from Europe, and just after the New Year a few days ago, the capital is still filled with the joy of the New Year, and red lanterns are hanging everywhere in the halls of the auction house.

The gold salvaged from the bottom of the sea, because the amount was too huge, Zhuang Rui directly sold it to the state, so although the outside world was speculating about Zhuang Rui's salvage this time, he could not come up with a detailed figure.

Of course, the state did not treat Zhuang Rui badly, although the money paid to him was a little lower than the international gold price, but Zhuang Rui was given a lot of compensation in other places, but everyone was happy.

The gold was disposed of, but Zhuang Rui still left a large number of antique artworks from South America and the European Middle Ages, and those exquisite gold and silver objects all represented the most prosperous handmade skills in Europe at that time.

Originally, according to Huang Fuyun's meaning, these utensils were left behind, and when the museum was expanded in the future, another European pavilion could be opened, but Zhuang Rui thought about it and decided to sell them all after leaving a few fine pieces.

First, the Dingguang Museum is really out of place to expand, and there were still some empty exhibition halls before, but in recent years, they have been filled with various rich collections, so you can't put these things in the golden city that has not yet been built, right?

Second, these objects are precious in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Zhuang Rui, they are readily available.

There are no other things in the ocean, these European medieval things, that is, there are many things, that is, there are many objects of the royal family of various countries, and if you want to build a European pavilion in the future, at most Zhuang Rui will go to sea again after a hard trip.

Therefore, after processing the gold, Zhuang Rui chose to cooperate with Mr. Qian's Beijing Auction House to hold such a special auction of European Chinese products after the year.

For this auction, all walks of life in China attach great importance to it, because it has always been a foreign auction to hold a special auction in China, and now it is the other way around, which is the first time in China.

Moreover, the people who participated in the auction this time also collected many foreign artworks, after all, for foreign art collections, they are still a small niche in China, and there are not many people who know how to do it.

"Mr. Zhuang, your golden city is really built with gold, what is my commission? It's not as thick as a single hair on your body......

Besides, the commission I want is really not high, four percent, all in Beijing...... No, if you inquire all over the country, is there anyone lower than me?"

Relying on the relationship with Zhuang Rui in the early years, Mr. Qian successfully won this very symbolic auction, although he shouted bitterly to Zhuang Rui, he smiled with a bright chrysanthemum, and he couldn't wait to hug Zhuang Rui and kiss him a few times.

You must know that all auction houses in the world today are controlled by foreign auction predators, and almost all important auctions are also from so many that domestic auction houses cannot compete with them at all.

Now the Beijing auction house can hold an auction with international influence, and all the auctions are foreign artworks, which money can't buy.

This is why Zhuang Rui is kind and has a good relationship with Mr. Qian, otherwise he will not pay a penny, and there are a large number of auction companies in China rushing to help him hold this special auction.

"Come on, old money, don't accompany me, go greet the guests......"

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, after selling that batch of gold, he almost didn't have any financial pressure, and the reason why he held this auction was just to justify the name of the domestic auction house.

It is not only foreigners who hold special auctions in China, but China can still auction foreign artworks, and they are all treasures.

"Okay, Brother Zhuang, then I'll go over first, you see, today's auction is going to be hot!" After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Mr. Qian confessed and went to the auction site to get busy.

Mr. Qian hasn't really boasted yet, and under his personal auspices, the auction has been extremely popular from the beginning.

Zhuang Rui took out a total of more than 1,000 handicrafts from South America and Europe, and in the three-day auction, none of them were unsold, and the total auction amount reached 800 million yuan.

Of course, this also has to do with the objects themselves, most of which are exquisite works of art looted from South America by Spain at that time, and are currently the most admired crafts in international auctions.
