"1.5 million...... USD. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Qiao Zhen really thought that Qin Fan didn't hear clearly, and carefully repeated the Frenchman's words.

According to the exchange rate of the US dollar to RMB in this era, 1.5 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 12 million RMB, and it is impossible to say that Qin Fan is not moved when he hears this quotation.

Qin Fan hesitated for a moment, and finally did not agree to sell this pair of fine Daming Chihua General Cans to the Frenchman for 1.5 million US dollars, but was ready to take them back to China.

No one doesn't like to earn dollars, but Qin Fan has his own principles and bottom line, and he doesn't want to violate his principles for money.

Regarding Qin Fan's decision, Qiao Zhenzhen also expressed his understanding and support. Although her mother was European, she grew up in the Republic and had a special affection for Chinese culture, and she did not want to see the exodus of China's precious porcelain.

At this time, Manager Zheng saw that Qin Fan used a mere $3,000 to buy a pair of priceless multicolored porcelain, which rose 500 times in a blink of an eye, and regretted that he wanted to throw his two big mouths.

It's all his bad idea, and he has to engage in some Taobao link. Originally, Manager Zheng wanted to dispose of those inferior porcelains that were seriously eroded by the sea and had no collection value at a cheap price. Unexpectedly, he missed such a priceless treasure, allowing Qin Fan to pick up a big bargain for nothing.

If they let the auction company operate this colorful general jar in the late Ming Dynasty, it would not be a problem to auction more than 2 million US dollars. But now, he sold it for $3,000.

If this matter is known to the head office, he will be considered the manager to the end.

Guo Qidong was also jealous and angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only hold it in his stomach, depressed to death.

"Qin Fan, your vision is good, this is indeed a rare Ming Dynasty colorful character general jar, look at the porcelain fetus and glaze This porcelain is extremely exquisite, it should be the fine porcelain specially fired by the Ming Dynasty government for the European court at that time."

Wang Cheng had heard Wang Mengqi mention that Qin Fan had good eyesight and was a master of antique appraisal, but Wang Cheng was not very convinced. But at this time, he had to be impressed by this young man.

"Hehe, I'm just a little lucky." Qin Fan said modestly, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, or making a fortune in a muffled voice is the king.

After finding this general jar, Qiao Zhenzhen was in a good mood, and in the next auction activities, he auctioned several pieces of fine porcelain of good quality, and returned with a full load.

"The quality of these pieces of porcelain is quite good, Qin Fan really thanks you this time."

Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes were full of brilliance, and he was sincerely grateful to Qin Fan. If Qin Fan hadn't been there in this auction, I'm afraid she would have returned empty-handed.

"Hehe, aren't we friends. You don't need to be too polite with each other. ”

After the auction ended, Guo Qidong came over and wanted to invite Qin Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen to the bar on the cruise ship to apologize to them, and ease the conflict between them by the way.

However, Qin Fan was too lazy to entertain this playboy, so he really refused his invitation.

If someone dared to give Guo Dashao such a face, Guo Qidong would have been mad a long time ago. But now he not only didn't dare to be mad at Qin Fan, but also carefully accompanied people with a smile, for fear of offending Qin Fan.

Because just now, Guo Qidong asked Wang Cheng about Qin Fan's identity, and "accidentally" learned from Wang Cheng that Qin Fan was the benefactor of the Yanjing Wang family, and had a close relationship with Wang Mengqi, the pearl of the Wang family.

Hearing this news, Guo Qidong's thoughts of revenge on Qin Fan in his heart suddenly vanished, and he was so frightened that he came to apologize to him and ease the relationship.

With Qin Fan's relationship with the Wang family, if he crooked his mouth and said a few bad things about himself, so that the Yanjing Wang family had any bad opinion of their Guo Group, Guo Qidong was afraid that he would be kicked out of the house by his old man's broken leg.

But Guo Qidong didn't know that Qin Fan didn't take him to heart at all, let alone say anything bad about the Guo Group to the Wang family.

Leisurely time always flies quickly, and in the next few days, Qin Fan has been studying the blue gem that looks like a mermaid's tears, and seeing the shipwreck under the sea in his dream.

In the past few days, Qin Fan has checked a lot of information about ancient shipwrecks, and he has really found some clues.

Judging from the style of the shipwreck that Qin Fan saw, this shipwreck does not look like a sea ship in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but an ocean-going ship from the Song Dynasty earlier.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, with the opening and development of the Maritime Silk Road, a golden age of maritime trade was ushered in.

In fact, before the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the main channel of China's foreign trade was the land Silk Road, and then due to the war and the shift of economic gravity, the maritime Silk Road replaced the land Silk Road as the main channel for Sino-foreign trade.

The Maritime Silk Road started from the southeast coast, passed through the Indochina Peninsula and the South China Sea countries, crossed the Indian Ocean into the Red Sea, and arrived in East Africa and Europe, becoming a major maritime channel for China's foreign trade and cultural exchanges at that time.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, silk was the main bulk of goods transported, and by the Song and Yuan dynasties, porcelain gradually became the main cargo, so it was also known as the "Maritime Ceramics Road".

During the Song Dynasty, Quanzhou became the largest port in China at that time, and was known as the world's largest port along with Alexandria in Egypt, and Quanzhou was the only starting point of the Maritime Silk Road recognized by UNESCO.

At that time, the shipbuilding technology and navigation technology of the Song Dynasty were significantly improved, and the compass was widely used in navigation, which greatly strengthened the ocean-going navigation ability of merchant ships. Private maritime trade was also greatly developed with the encouragement of the Southern Song Dynasty government.

To Qin Fan's excitement, maritime trade in that era was extremely prosperous, and a large number of merchant ships went to various countries in the East to trade. Historically, there have been many shipwrecks found in this part of the Orient.

For example, a merchant ship sunk near Jeju Island was discovered in 1975. The ship was shipped from China to Japan, but it sank in South Korea.

What surprised Qin Fan was the goods salvaged from the wreck, and the goods in this merchant ship were ordered by the Japanese temple at that time. A lot of incense burners and other incense utensils of very high quality were salvaged from the wreck, as well as some high-grade porcelain, 80% of which were Longquan kiln porcelain.

There are about more than 20,000 pieces of this batch of goods, and the most salvaged ones are copper coins, which are full of 28 tons! This shows the large volume of maritime trade at that time.

After consulting so much information, Qin Fan guessed that the huge undersea shipwreck he saw was probably in the sea area where the cruise ship was sailing!

However, what worried Qin Fan was that this sea area was quite vast, and it was not easy to find the wreck at the bottom of the sea. It seems that we have to find a professional to help with this.

Turning off the computer, Qin Fan stretched out and walked out of the cabin to the deck.

Just when Qin Fan came to the deck, he saw that a beautiful harbor city appeared not far in front of him, and Okinawa Prefecture had arrived.

"The cruise ship will stay in this port for a day, and we will get off the ship and go on a tour."

Qiao Zhenzhen wore a purple chiffon skirt, a straw hat on her head, and her big golden wavy curls were casually draped over her shoulders, revealing a lazy and charming style, which made Qin Fan's heart beat a little faster.

After holding back on the cruise ship for so long, Qiao Zhenzhen had long wanted to get off the ship and walk ashore, as soon as the cruise ship docked on the dock, she couldn't wait to drag Qin Fan to accompany her off the ship.

Okinawa is located between the Japanese island of Kyushu and the Republic of Taiwan Province, and is an autonomous island prefecture of Japan, known as the Hawaii of the East.

After a few days of sea travel, Qin Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen also missed life on land very much, strolling comfortably through the streets of Okinawa, bathed in bright and warm sunshine.

"By the way, Qin Fan, I see that you have been checking the information of the ancient shipwreck in the room for the past few days, could it be that you also want to salvage a shipwreck from the bottom of the sea?"

Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes were shining, and he asked Qin Fan with a smile.

"Yes, buddy also thought about salvaging shipwrecks, I heard that there have been many shipwrecks in this part of the East Ocean, maybe there is an ancient merchant ship on the bottom of the sea near here."

"Hehe, salvaging a shipwreck is not as simple as you think, it takes a lot of luck. But if you can salvage a shipwreck from the bottom of the sea, it would be great. ”

Qin Fan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Do you know how much the ocean-going salvage company made by salvaging this Ming Dynasty wreck and selling it to the auction company?" Qiao Zhenzhen chatted with Qin Fan casually, "A full 200 million RMB!" ”

"So much?"

Qin Fan was also taken aback, he didn't expect that salvaging the wreck would be so profitable, no wonder there were many ocean-going salvage companies risking thousands of miles to go to the sea for deep-sea salvage.

If a shipwreck of the Age of Discovery can be salvaged from the bottom of the sea, it will be a windfall, enough for ordinary people to squander for a lifetime.

"But don't think about the sea around here, even if there is a shipwreck, it has already been discovered by nearby fishermen. And according to international conventions, only what is salvaged on the high seas belongs to the salvage. ”

Qin Fan nodded, all the cultural relics salvaged within the territorial waters of the country belonged to that country. In other words, even if Qin Fan salvaged the sunken ship in the waters near here, it would be confiscated by the Japanese government and he would work in vain.

At this moment, Qiao Zhenzhen's mobile phone rang.

Qiao Zhenzhen answered the phone and chatted with the person on the other end of the phone in Chinese for a while, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Qin Fan, "You are so lucky, I have a friend who is a professional in marine salvage, she is now here in Okinawa, volunteering in the World Marine Environmental Protection Organization, I will take you to meet him." ”

About twenty minutes later, Qin Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen met the marine salvage professional in a café with a nice view by the sea.

"Really, this is your boyfriend? I didn't expect you to like this little handsome guy with a little fresh meat type, no wonder you didn't agree when my brother pursued you. ”

Opposite Qin Fan, a short-haired girl with sun-tanned skin was looking at him curiously.
