On 19 March, the Ranger completed the salvage of the Victory and was ready to return to Spain for repairs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

During this half-month salvage process, they recovered a total of 209,483 gold coins, 2,461 silver coins, and 512 utensils and antiques for various purposes.

However, most of these antiques are some everyday items, which have little historical significance, otherwise, just these cultural relics would be worth a lot of money.

After the salvage was over, Zhou You and Stephen negotiated again. The negotiations did not involve the distribution of benefits, but rather a correction of the terms of the previous contract, which identified Bilbao, Spain, as the distribution site for the harvest, rather than Singapore.

This is mainly because the pressure of public opinion in Britain is relatively high, and the people want to see the harvest of the Victory return to China as soon as possible. And Zhou You is also willing to distribute it early, and then free up his hands to salvage the remaining wealth of the Royal Merchant.

Speaking of which, their salvage site is the closest to the UK, but it is obviously impossible to travel around, so it is most appropriate to use Bilbao as a place to distribute the benefits.

When the Ranger arrived in Bilbao on March 21, it was greeted by more than 200 media outlets around the world, including 210 media outlets requesting interviews, half of which were from China.

Regarding the distribution of the harvest this time, under the supervision of the major law firms, the results were quickly obtained. The fineness, value, and valuation of the artifacts were agreed upon by British and Spanish experts after several consultations.

Zhou You doesn't have too many opinions on the results, when there are hundreds of millions of income, who cares about the difference of millions?

In principle, after all these cultural relics have been evaluated, they will be returned to Britain in their entirety, but as compensation, the British side will provide 3,000 gold coins as compensation for the trip.

In other words, the estimated value of these 512 cultural relics is about 60 million US dollars, which is not much different from the psychological price of Zhou You.

After all, most of these things were rice bowls, plates, sabers, daggers, and swords at that time, and few of them belonged to real works of art, so the price would not be too high.

Of course, if it is auctioned, a few of these artifacts may sell for a good price, but the tour also has to give the British side a little face, so directly accept the experts' assessment results.

On the third day, a frigate from the British Navy docked next to the Ranger and, in the presence of hundreds of media outlets, transported gold coins and artifacts belonging to the British side to the frigate.

In less than a month's worth of salvage, Zhou You collected 51,500 Portuguese gold coins, 51,500 Venetian gold coins, 4,740 British gold coins, and 1,230 ancient silver coins.

The coins, which weighed more than four tons, were sealed and handed over to Santander, and a transport agreement was signed with Iberia to charter a plane to transport them back to Singapore.

At the base in Singapore, these coins will be undergoing maintenance and upkeep, and some damaged coins will also be repaired. Two months after the exhibition in Singapore, there will be a global auction on May 20.

When Lin Wei announced the news at the press conference, it immediately detonated the audience. For example, who are the invited bidders? What is the pricing for these gold coins? How the auction will be conducted is the focus of media attention.

Orti has been the object of envy of all journalists in recent times, as she was the only one invited to follow the Ranger and had the privilege of interviewing all the important people involved in the salvage. The interviews she produces are not only popular in Spain, but are also purchased by television stations in many countries.

Now she is no longer the first-class host in the past, but has become the real first sister of Spanish TV, and no female host is comparable to her.

In the interior of the national television station alone, she opened three TV shows alone, and the scenery is incomparable.

On March 27, when a plane carrying $500 million took off from Bilbao airport, Bilbao, which had been disturbed for a week, finally calmed down. But Singapore has become lively because of the arrival of these gold coins.

The Singapore side also attached great importance to these gold coins, and arranged for two box trucks to drive directly into the airport runway, and after loading the trucks, a high-security convoy escorted the two trucks into Blarney Island.

After collation, the coins will be exhibited in three museums in Singapore for 50 days to satisfy the curiosity of ordinary citizens.

And Lin Wei is also caught in a busy business activity, and her tasks are relatively heavy. Before the auction on May 20, she will invite wealthy people from all over the world to organize at least three pre-sale meetings, because these wealthy people will be the main force to buy these gold coins.

At the same time, she also had to put up a certain amount of gold coins in front of the ordinary people on Yi Bai, and try to stir up this topic as much as possible.

After Zhou You returned to Singapore, he stayed with Yan Fangqing, who was more than five months pregnant, for two days, and cultivated a father-son relationship with Long Long. He went to the young master's house to report to him about the company's follow-up arrangements, and the salvage of the Victory was supported by him, and he should come to express his gratitude whether it was reasonable or reasonable.

After the old Volandor and they served as Zhou You's advisors, Zhou You's things now no longer as reckless as they used to be. Whether it was an understanding with the British on the assignment of the Royal Merchant, or the successful completion of the salvage of the Victory, Zhou You's work began to have its own rules.

Therefore, the young master's perception of traveling is getting better and better. In particular, Zhou You has now become the representative of Singapore in the international community, and he alone has surpassed almost all other Singaporeans. And his wealth is also rising rapidly, and his reputation is getting louder and louder, so that the young head of the family is definitely not in vain for Zhou You's support.

On the Ranger, a reporter from Nanyue said that Zhou You's fortune would reach $3.7 billion, but in fact, this reporter was too conservative.

Because 2.7 billion US dollars is the total wealth of Zhou You last year, but this year, Zhou You's various investments have appreciated greatly, and if you really count Zhou You's current wealth, his wealth will even exceed 4.5 billion US dollars.

Among them, the fastest appreciation of wealth is Zhou You's investment in Sands.

Zhou You initially invested US$500 million in Sands, a 9 percent stake, and Sands later received a US$2 billion strategic investment from Temasek, giving Adelson more than US$3 billion in cash.

With these funds, Adelson and Temasek immediately embarked on a new round of expansion, not only preparing to invest US$4 billion in Macau, but also US$1 billion in Manila to build a large casino, and US$600 million in Townsville, Australia's northern tourist city.

In Spain, the casino project cooperated with Adelson has also doubled from two casinos of $500 million to two casinos of one billion dollars.

And in Las Vegas, the Venetian Hotel has also made a new round of investment, planning to invest more than $3 billion to expand the second phase of the Venetian Hotel.

This nearly $10 billion investment plan has made Sands the brightest star in the gaming industry, and many banks have taken the initiative to ask for loans.

For this series of investments, the three major shareholders only need to come up with less than $5 billion to complete the investments. However, Adelson is obviously still a little dissatisfied with the current pace of development, so he seeks the listing of Sands Group, hoping to use the financing from the listing to complete the expansion.

In just six months, the Sands Group has risen from its original valuation of $5 billion to $20 billion, and if it is really listed, its stock price will soar to $30 billion, or even $40 billion.

At that time, nine percent of Zhou You's shares were worth more than $3 billion.

In the first quarter of this year, Tencent's revenue increased by 80% over the same period last year, and the rapid increase in game revenue not only made Tencents the world's most watched network company, but also became the world's most anticipated network company by taking advantage of financial advantages, QQ's network cohesion.

As for Apple, although since 2002, their stock price has returned from $5 or 6 billion to $15 billion, but in terms of revenue, it is far from being as good as Tencent.

According to Tencent's current revenue capacity, as long as they are willing to go public, the stock price can definitely soar to more than $10 billion, accounting for nearly half of Tencent's shares.

It's a pity that because Tencent is not short of money now, it is conservative in terms of financing and listing plans. Therefore, Zhou You's net worth can only be calculated in real terms at present, which is less than two billion US dollars.

Coupled with Zhou You's 5 percent stake in Google, his stake in UFC, and his stake in Qiandu, even after subtracting Zhou You's $1.2 billion loans from major banks, his personal net worth now easily reaches $4.5 billion.

However, this is not the peak, because if these companies go public, it is possible that Zhou You's personal wealth will soar tenfold. When I think that Zhou You really has the potential to become the new richest man in the world in the next few years, it is even better to have a personal impression of Zhou You.

He Jing paid more attention to Zhou You's next investment plan, because she found that although Zhou You was too interested in industrial dollars, his investment vision was first-class, and now all his investments have been successful. "The harvest of the Victory and the Royal Merchant is worth a billion dollars, have you ever thought about how to use the money?"
