Chapter Eighty-Four: Shipwreck Treasure

Gold coins, silver coins, gold bars and diaries?

Chen Mo pinched the bridge of his nose and took it. The box can be held in one hand, and when you weigh it, it is quite heavy.

The Canyon Manor belongs to Chen Mo, and the valuable things found in the manor naturally belong to him. Chen Mo thought about it, but Zhang Feng found it, and he found this box for a while, at least more than three months.

A few houses have been demolished by new plantings, very old wooden houses, next to the existing vineyards. The demolition of the wooden house began shortly after the bidding ended, and it was several months before Zhang Feng took it out...... Don't say anything about finding money. Comparing hearts to hearts, if Chen Mo is Zhang Feng, it is estimated that he will not hand it over......

Chen Mo smiled, opened the box, and first saw a yellowed covered diary. Three rough gold bars underneath the diary, a few rusted coins.

The gold coin has the number 1926 on it, which should be a 1926 coin, an eagle on one side, and a Statue of Liberty on the other.

Chen Mo took out two gold coins, a silver coin and a gold bar, and handed them to Zhang Feng: "Make a souvenir." "Since Zhang Feng returned these things, they shouldn't be worth much. Like three gold bars, each weighing about 5 ounces. Gold and silver coins, judging by their preservation, should not be rare coins.

Zhang Feng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I also hope that Brother Chen will not blame his brother for being greedy for money...... To be honest, I have been struggling with my heart when I found my brother in the tin can, and I want to take it for myself too much. I'll give it back to you now, I hope my brother doesn't mind. ”

Chen Mo forced him: "If you don't take it, I won't feel at ease." You found this thing, I didn't even know it was ......."

Zhang Feng smiled: "That...... I followed. ”

Sending things out, Chen Mo saw that Zhang Feng wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Feng wanted to speak and stopped, but after thinking about it, he finally didn't say it, shook his head and said, "No, it's gone." Zhang Feng took two steps and looked back: "I received an invitation to a barbecue party in the evening, and I want to bring my employees to participate in it, but I don't know if it will work." ”

"No problem. I used to tell everyone to prepare more food. ”

"No, we bring our own food. It's been a long time since we've had a holiday, so take this opportunity to relax. ”

"Prepare more drinks. ”

"Then we're welcome. ”

Zhang Feng left, Ye Xiaoxi took the iron box in Chen Mo's hand and looked at the three coins inside: "Laixi, come over and help see, are these three coins worth?"

Lacey picked up the gold coin and looked at it with a sly look: "Gold coins, between $2,000 and $3,500." The silver coin is not bad, about $5,000. ”

"You don't see, silver coins are worth more than gold coins. Chen Mo asked speechlessly.

"Of course I, my father is an NGC grader. ”

"NGC, what the hell?"

Zhang Feng walked some distance away and joined up with his two subordinates.

"Boss, did you tell Mr. Chen about the treasure?"

Zhang Feng shook his head: "I didn't say it." The shipwreck of the sea, if it can be found, it will be found a long time ago. Now that I think about it, the shipwreck treasure is estimated to be a fake ......"

After discovering the metal box and diary, Zhang Feng began to hunt for treasures.

According to the location recorded in the diary, Zhang Feng found an ocean salvage ship, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars before and after, but Mao did not find one. Speaking of which, the money spent still belongs to 'public funds', and it is Chen Mo's money...... At the end of August, the price of organic fertilizer suddenly skyrocketed, and a large amount of money was spent on the exploration of the shipwreck.

Ocean treasure hunting is simple, but it is actually very complicated. It's not that easy to find......

The reason for returning the tin box is that the idea of treasure hunting has been completely dispelled, and secondly, there is no ventilation wall in the world...... Zhang Feng secretly contacted the deep-sea shipwreck exploration company to hunt for treasure, and as the treasure hunt ended, it was only a matter of time before the news spread. Besides, the discovery of the iron box was known to several people in their company, and when the news spread, it would be a matter of time before it reached Chen Mo. It's better to return it as soon as possible and take the initiative to inform it, so as not to make a knot between you and Chen Mo at that time......

The most important point is that Zhang Feng calculated that it was better with Chen Mo, and the benefits were no less than finding the shipwreck treasure recorded in the diary.

The treasure from more than 100 years ago, the diary says that it is a shipload of gold, with 13,650 ounces of gold clearly recorded, and several gold nuggets, estimated to be equivalent to about $17 million. After deducting taxes and expenses, you can make a profit of about $10 million if you successfully find the wreck within a year. Friends with Chen Mo, and with the development of Stephen's company's business, Zhang Feng received a lot of work here, with a profit of two or three million a year, and this money is risk-free and stable.

If he had a bad relationship with Chen Mo, he would find a way to get himself, it would be a breeze.

At this time, Zhang Feng was worried......

……

Ye Xiaoxi and Lacey studied gold coins, silver coins, and gold bars.

Chen Mo opened the diary.

The first page of the diary reads July 5, 1900...... Adel Cricks.

'Two years and six months of gold rush...... The situation in the Golden City is getting more and more chaotic. Today, six people died in my company, in the battle for the gold mines. The strength of the three dark gangs in the Golden City is becoming more and more unscrupulous, and it is time to consider leaving......

'My good friend Horifik proposed to build a large gold panning ship to go to Alaska. The Yukon Gold Diggers, rumored to be all over the Yukon with gold, should I join them...... On July 19, 1900, it is worth mentioning that there were 27 remaining companions who followed me to the City of Gold. Today, three more partners lost their lives in the battle for the valley gold mine. ’

On August 11th, I agreed to Horifik and invested in a large gold rush ship. I have 30% of the shares......

The diary mainly records some of the big things that happened to Adel. Some of the trivia of life are not recorded......

Chen Mo quickly looked through it, and in June 1901, the gold rush ship sailed to Alaska. Adel excitedly recorded in his diary that Alaska is full of gold, and at its best, 2,000 ounces of gold can be harvested in a day.

In 1902, Adel discovered a large gold mine and employed nearly 1,000 gold prospectors.

The diary is thirty or forty pages long, spanning from 1900 to 1911, with the last pages talking about the end of winter and the return of the year's harvest to New York. With his 13,650 ounces of gold, Adel fantasizes about returning to New York to become super-rich, and never to say goodbye to the gold rush life.

'In October 1903, the ship carrying the gold sank, and I was the only survivor on board...... Perhaps the only one. ’

Last page of 'Gold, My Golden ......', 1911.

Chen Mo glanced at ten lines and quickly read the diary.

"Neuropathy. Chen Mo shook his head speechlessly, according to the diary, the gold on the wreck ship may be close to 60,000 ounces, and there is also a box of gold nuggets, almost two tons. If it's true, it's a lot of money.

There was a shipwreck, and this diary must have been soaked in seawater. But the diary showed no signs of getting wet...... It is also possible that this diary was packed in a tin can, as it is now, so it was not wet. The probability is too small, who doesn't have anything to do stupidly garbage all day long in a diary box and carry it with you......

In addition, according to the diary, there are 13,650 ounces of gold belonging to Adel alone, and if there is such a shipwreck, it will definitely cause a huge sensation if it needs to be salvaged, and it is impossible to salvage it secretly.

Last page in the diary, 1911, 'Gold, My Gold ......'

Chen Mo shook his head, no matter what, Chen Mo speculated that the golden shipwreck was most likely a conjecture thing, and the reality did not exist.

The possible existence of 2 tons of gold is indeed exciting, but if you carefully calculate the current value, it is estimated that the current value of 2 tons of gold will not exceed 70 million US dollars. With Chen Mo's current net worth, he is only moved so that he will not lose his mind and have crazy dreams of making a fortune.

"What's written in the diary?" Ye Xiaoxi saw that Chen Mo was fascinated, and when he closed the diary, he asked.

"Told a treasure. Chen Mo casually handed the diary to Ye Xiaoxi.
