Chapter 101

Everyone here may know more about the history of the Victory than Zhou You, but they are now listening carefully to Zhou You's speeches one by one, because the result is in Zhou You's hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Everyone thought that the Victory went all the way north in the direction of Ashent Island and finally sank in the waters near Alderney Island. And there are so-called experts and scholars who accuse this of being the responsibility of Captain John Balchin and the caretaker of the lighthouse on Alderney Island without any basis, but no one has thought about it, what if the Victory did not take this route at all? ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone understood the meaning of the two lines on the map in the slide. Because one of them is the route that everyone guesses, and the other is the route that the Victory really sails.

Stephen said with some surprise: "Mr. Zhou, I don't doubt your professionalism, but the two routes are too far apart, almost deviating between the United Kingdom and Ireland. My ancestor was an experienced captain and he probably wouldn't have made such a mistake. ”

Zhou You said with a smile: "We all know that the Victory sank because of a storm. That is, the weather before the sinking of the Victory is not necessarily good, it may be cloudy or foggy. At that time, there was no GPS, no GPS, and no radar, and ships could only sail by the experience of their captains. Then have you ever thought that it is impossible for the captain to keep an eye on the voyage of the ship 24 hours a day, and if the ship deviates from the course soon after sailing, they will be further and further away from their destination. ”

Stephen asked, "We thought you made a discovery at the bottom of the Atlantic, but how can you be sure that your discovery is the Victory?" ”

Zhou You shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said, "I'll answer you this question later, let's take a look at this map first." The red dotted line was the route the Victory was supposed to take, passing through the Aleutian Islands, with a short stop at Alderney Island before arriving in London. Assuming foggy weather, or cloudy weather, the Victory deviates from course, and it only takes a 10-degree deviation to make it possible for the Victory to reach the sea between the UK and Ireland. As for why I'm sure it's the Victory, take a look at the pictures below. ”

Feng Haijun manipulated the slide to change the one, this is a photo taken underwater, a copper cannon is half-buried by mud and sand, but from the pattern on it, it can also be seen that this is an 18-pounder cannon from the sail era, and the subsequent photos also take pictures of the barrel in various environments, and there is a blurry ship type wrapped in mud and sand.

All of these photographs were composited while traveling around the United States, and it is difficult to find traces of the synthesis because the photographs are deliberately blurry. Zhou You believes that they will not focus their attention here at this time. By tomorrow, arriving at the site of the sinking of the Victory, the usefulness of these photographs will disappear.

"Before salvaging the Royal Merchant, the Ranger had been exploring the waters along the way. These photos were later discovered from the database taken after we returned, but based on the route traveled by the Ranger and the time of the camera, we can accurately deduce the latitude and longitude points here. Based on the meticulous research of our experts and the collection of almost all shipwrecks in the UK, we deduced that this was the Victory. You can see that the size and shape of the hull are almost exactly the same as the historical data of the Victory, and this eighteen-pound bronze cannon was also the standing cannon of the British Navy before the appearance of the Gallant gun in 1778. ”

Another British expert asked: "In other words, you are not sure that this shipwreck must be the Victory!" ”

Zhou You said with a smile: "Because this is a warship of the British Navy, of course I can't salvage it at will until I reach an agreement with the UK." So, I can answer you, I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure. Because apart from the Victory, before 1778 there was simply not another warship of more than fifty meters sunk on the British side. ”

Feng Haijun can also be regarded as Zhou You's henchman, but Zhou You didn't let him know too much, not only him, but also anyone on the ship, Zhou You kept a hand, not because Zhou You didn't believe in them, but because Zhou You didn't believe in human nature.

Zhou You is now betting on both sides, so whoever it is, he won't let them know everything about himself. Feng Haijun knew about salvaging the Royal Merchant, but he didn't know everything about the Victory, so even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn't think that Zhou You was talking nonsense.

As for the others, including Captain Lin Jiapei, he didn't even let him know a little bit about the Victory. Because he knew more things, he knew the specific latitude and longitude points of the Royal Merchant, and he also knew that from Spain to the Royal Merchant, he would not pass through the sea area of the Victory at all.

He is now taking advantage of this information asymmetry, and can make some articles in the middle. If this matter is exposed, then he can easily know what is wrong.

Feng Haijun didn't know the specific latitude and longitude points of the salvage, and he didn't know that the evidence that Zhou You was putting forward now was actually made up by himself, and his existence could be more certain to people on the British side, and Zhou You was not talking nonsense.

Therefore, it is easy for people on the British side to be fooled by the travels. Although these photos are synthesized according to the memories of Zhou You's previous life, Zhou You believes that he will not be exposed when he really arrives at the scene. Because the environment of the seabed is complex, as long as you find the scene, even if there is a little difference in the scene, it is reasonable.

Due to the asymmetry of information, everyone has no way to refute Zhou You's conclusions, and under Zhou You's various flickering, they can only wait for seeing to be believing.

But Zhou You was sure that there would be no mistakes in his memory, because these things were the lessons of his previous life, and he remembered them very clearly.

Stephen was so excited when he saw the pictures that he kept covering his face with his hands. After a long while, he raised his head and said, "I'm sure this is the Victory, because my ancestors have collected countless materials about the Victory, even more than the major history museums combined. When I saw these pictures, I was sure that the wreck must be the Victory. ”

Zhou You laughed to himself, with Stephen joining, everything became simpler. Whether it was from the beginning of the negotiations to the current actions, Stephen was acting according to the best plan that Zhou Yu had envisioned because the reputation of his ancestors was involved.

……

……

Zhou You woke up from a dream, and the sky outside the window was still dark. This is 50 degrees north latitude, which is about the same dimension as the northernmost Heihe River in China. Since it was winter, it was already seven o'clock, but the sky was still dark.

Zhou You practiced in the room for half an hour, the sky gradually changed color, in the middle of the ocean, the first moment the sun rose, you could feel the moment of day and night on the sea.

When he could see people, Zhou You put on a long-sleeved sweatshirt and went down to the deck to start running around the Ranger.

After Liang Hao and the others left, only Zhou Minghong was the only one who accompanied him. Because he was shot four times in his body, he injured the bones in his shoulders and legs, so Zhou Minghong could not participate in boxing matches in his life.

Because even if the injured bone heals, it becomes a weak point in his body, which parts are far less able to withstand than the uninjured position.

However, Zhou Minghong is not suitable for boxing or free fighting at all, because although he is brave, he is extremely kind-hearted, and he can't even fight anymore, let alone go to the competition.

In addition, his mother is a very verbose person, and she has always treated him as a child and does not let him participate in the slightest danger, so he has no idea of going to the United States at all.

Following Zhou You, Zhou You is also confident that he will earn more than one million US dollars per year, plus the dividends of the pharmaceutical company, as well as the value preservation investment, his annual income can also exceed 10 million yuan.

For a man who can't spend 2,000 yuan a month, 10 million US dollars and 10 million yuan are the same for him.

Facing the cold wind, Zhou You ran out of a fine sweat and returned to his room, where he took a shower and got dressed for breakfast.

But when I picked up my mobile phone, I found that there were three missed calls on it, which were dialed from the same number, from He Chaoqiong, who was far away in Hong Kong.

He thought about it for a moment and was about to go back when the phone rang again.

Zhou You answered the phone. "I'm traveling."

"I know you're a well-known Mr. Zhou."

Zhou You frowned and asked, "I don't seem to have messed with you lately." ”

The other party laughed and said, "Did my tone make you misunderstand?" Then I apologize. Mr. Zhou's fame is all over the world, even if he provokes me, what dare I, a little woman, say? ”

Zhou You was really a little displeased, and said: "If you have something to say, don't be weird." ”

He Chaoqiong asked seriously: "Let me ask you, how much voice do you have at Sands Macao?" ”

Zhou You smiled, ignored her question, and said, "Sister, I don't want to guess with you if I have something to say." My time is precious. ”

"Your people are not only using various means to disrupt the normal construction of Melco, but now they are also using funds to bully people, what do you say? You know, compared to cash, you and Sands combined, can't compare to Australian travel. ”

Zhou You asked rhetorically, "What if we add Temasek?" ”

This time it was He Chaoqiong's turn to stop talking, although the Australian Travel claimed to have assets of 500 billion yuan, but it was only less than 60 billion US dollars. There's a lot of bubble in there. But Temasek alone has more than $100 billion in assets, and it's all real.

And that's not even counting the assets of Sands and Travel.

Zhou You then asked again: "What happened, I don't know if the Sands have any actions against you, or have I lost my influence on the Sands!" Besides, don't just use the Australian Brigade to scare people, the Australian Brigade is the Australian Brigade, you are you, even your father, it only accounts for less than 20% of the shares of the Australian Brigade, and it does not represent the entire Australian Travel, as for you, it is even worse. If you want to talk to me, just be realistic. ”

"You ......" (To be continued.) )
