Chapter 802 'SS. Republic' shipwreck

……

In addition to the gold coins, the most remaining are silver coins, which are almost twice as many as the gold coins, close to 60,000 pieces! But compared to the value of gold coins, silver coins are much inferior.

The total value of these silver coins, both as precious metals and as artifacts, is no more than $50 million!

At the bottom of the floor, in addition to gold and silver coins, there are 9 57mm 19th century old-fashioned rack-back howitzers, and 18 37mm howitzers, of course, all of which are disassembled into parts, in addition to artillery, there is a batch, about 2000 rifles, judging from the style of rifles, it should be a product of the 50s of the 19th century!

Judging from these leftover cargoes, if nothing else, this ship should be a ship that transported war materials from New York in the north to the south during the American Civil War.

After Liu Dong looked at the second cabin, he sighed a little unsatisfied.

Because most of the military supplies such as wine, food, cigarettes, and medicine are in the second cabin, except for the wine bottles with different styles and some collection value, which can be sold for money, the others have long been soaked in seawater and rotted into ashes!

However, there are still a lot of good things in the living cabins on the first floor. Although there are not a few top-notch works of art worth tens of millions of dollars. But things like tin cutlery, candlesticks, flasks, compasses, and the like. are all good works of art, although each piece is only a thousand pieces, and tens of thousands of good points, but it is also a good harvest after all!

In addition to nearly 90,000 gold and silver coins, there are about 14,000 valuable cultural relics! And the value of the whole ship should be about 300 million US dollars.

Estimating the approximate value of the harvest, Liu Dong walked to the place next to the broken mast near the chimney of the steam engine, where two oak sticks propped up a laptop-sized sailing clock with the ship's name 'SS. Republic' inscribed on it!

"I didn't expect the famous treasure ship 'Republic' to sink here!" Liu Dong shook his head and sighed.

The other day I thought about making money. To expand his career, Liu Dong's first thought was the shipwrecks in the sea, and more than 3 million shipwrecks were his inexhaustible treasures!

So in the past few days in New York, he has searched for the records of almost all the treasures in the world, whether it is legends or real existences, Liu Dong has recorded their approximate locations and detailed information in his mind!

And the 'SS. Republic' is one of them!

The SS. Republic, a paddle steamer during the American Civil War, went missing and sank on October 25, 1860 when a strong hurricane on a voyage from New York to New Orleans was encountered. Passengers and crew all escaped. But the large sums of money carried in the cabin included many of the necessities of daily life in mid-19th-century Americans. As well as large sums of arms and military spending have sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic.

In the middle, the Americans have not given up the search and salvage of the Republic, but it is a pity that more than 100 years have passed, and there is no news of it, but they did not expect to be found by Liu Dong outside New York Harbor!

However, after knowing that this was the Republic, Liu Dong's original plan to put the entire ship into the mustard space was forced to be abandoned, because he didn't want to be troubled by the Americans when the ship was exhibited.

After all, compared to his industry in the United States, the value of this ship is not worth mentioning!

After spending more than ten minutes and collecting all the valuable things in the cabin, Liu Dong took one last look at the modern shipwreck that was tilting to the bottom of the sea, and with a wave of his hand, he dumped all the sediment in the mustard seed space, and soon buried the entire ship again.

And Liu Dong also quickly left this turbid sea area and swam vigorously towards the sea.

Because Liu Dong dived for too long this time, the staff on the yacht became anxious, and they were even discussing whether they should call the police before Liu Dong came back.

Of course, the police did not report it in the end.

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Liu Dong didn't say much, after eating this lunch at sea, Liu Dong let them sail back to the port, and then in the afternoon, he picked up Wang Hua and his family who came by appointment, and the members of the Columbia University Martial Arts Club played around the sea, and Liu Dong went home.

Of course, it's not the cramped little suite, but the ultra-luxurious four-story villa on the upper floor of Manhattan.

However, after coming back and changing clothes, before 8 o'clock in the evening, Liu Dong left quickly!

Came to a Starbucks coffee shop not far from his residence, in fact, he didn't want to drink coffee, but this time he had to take care of the guests' feelings, after all, he was seeking talent for himself this time!

After waiting for about ten minutes, a white man in a suit and leather shoes, about forty years old, walked in, looked at it, and walked in front of Liu Dong.

"Mr. Liu, is it?"

"I'm, you're Mr. David Coleman, aren't you?"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked ordinary and was not tall in height, but his body revealed a graceful bearing of a superior person, Liu Dong smiled and stretched out his right hand.

This is the top business talent he asked Sally Kraucek to find, David Coleman, the global vice president of Morgan Stanley, one of the world's largest financial companies, the president of the private wealth management department, and the top business elite who came out of Harvard Business School in the 80s!

In the face of such a character, even the current Liu Dong will be nervous, after all, the assets managed by the other party in 'Da Mo' are much more than the money in his hand!

The middle-aged man smiled and held Liu Dong's outstretched hand, and said with a smile: "You are younger than Sally described!"

"Thank you, please take a seat...... Want to drink something?"

"A cup of Blue Mountain coffee will do!"

"Waiter, a glass of juice. A cup of Blue Mountain coffee!" Liu Dong beckoned.

"Okay. Mr. Do you want anything else?"

"No need!"

"Wait a minute, you two!"

After the waiter turned to leave, Liu Dong was not verbose, and said directly: "Mr. Coleman, I guess Sally should have told you about my intention, right?"

Hearing this, David Coleman smiled and replied, "Mr. Liu is a little different from the Chinese businessman I know!"

"Is it different?" Liu Dong said in surprise.

"Of course! A lot of Chinese people I know say a lot of kind things before talking to anyone. Or find various reasons to get closer to each other, but I didn't see these in Mr. Liu, which surprised me?"

Looking at David Coleman's curious eyes, Liu Dong smiled and said: "Of course I will also be polite and climbing, but I know that these are not useful in the United States, and honesty and injustice make it easier for us to trust each other!"

"It seems that Mr. Liu really understands the social culture of the United States!"

"Of course! There is a military book in China from 2500 B.C., ......!"

"I know that China's Art of War is a great work that has influenced the whole world!" said David Coleman immediately.

After nodding, Liu Dong continued: "There is a famous saying above that has influenced almost all Chinese for more than 2,000 years, called 'Know the other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'. This means that if you have a thorough understanding of the situation on both sides, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles. It's the same here. If I want to expand my business empire to the United States, or even the world, then I must have a deep understanding of the politics, economy, and even military and folklore of the United States and the world!"

"Business empire?" asked David Coleman with a smile!

Liu Dong heard obvious contempt in his tone, but Liu Dong didn't take it to heart, this kind of thing is too normal in the United States!

"That's right!" Liu Dong nodded affirmatively.

"It's the first time I've heard those words from someone as young as Mr. Liu!" laughs David Coleman.

"'If you have a dream, you can conquer the world', I think as a Frenchman, you should know it better than me!" Liu Dong said bluntly.

"The great words of His Majesty Napoleon!" said David Coleman.

"That's right, I often use this sentence to encourage myself, so I seized the opportunity more than a year ago, and I succeeded! and sat in front of you today!" Liu Dong said.

David Coleman nodded, he also knew some information about Liu Dong.

"You've been very successful indeed, and very few have made a fortune of $3 billion in less than two years!There's no doubt that you have an enviable business acumen about you, and that's why I'm here today, but that's not enough to convince me!" shook David Coleman.

Of course, Liu Dong knows how difficult it is to convince a top business talent who has almost reached the pinnacle of business management! But no matter how difficult it is, he is not willing to give up, because now he has become more and more aware of the importance of talents, especially top business talents, to his career.

"Mr. David Coleman, can I trust you?" said Liu Dong's face suddenly became serious.

"Of course, keeping secrets for wealth investors is the most basic and important professional ethics for any person working in the financial industry!" David Coleman said with a serious expression.

Looking at the other party's sincere and affirmative eyes, Liu Dong nodded.

He knew the other party wasn't lying!

Therefore, Liu Dong used the briefcase he was carrying with him to cover up, took out two copies of the paper from the mustard seed space and put them in front of David Coleman!

"This is a $6 billion cash asset certificate issued by the Chase Manhattan Bank, and the other is a $5 billion interest-free loan, a $3.5 billion low-interest loan, a total of $8.5 billion in loans that can be repaid in 10 years! As for the authenticity of these two things, I think Mr. Coleman should be able to tell the difference."

Looking at the look of extreme shock on David Coleman's face, Liu Dong smiled confidently. (To be continued......)
