"My dear, how did the Singapore side respond?" Gracia, who woke up in the morning, walked into the study with a hint of trepidation.

Since Singapore is six hours ahead of Madrid, it is already at 3 a.m. in Madrid.

In order to deal with the company's application to the Singapore court for deep-sea salvage, Zhou You spent another sleepless night.

"It went very well, I contacted the young head directly, and then the special case was handled, and the court approved our application as soon as possible, and the date was still a month ago."

Although Singapore will not directly oppose other countries for the sake of travel, it will spare no effort to help him in small things. Just approving an application, the young head is still very face-saving. He also wants to see what kind of storm can be stirred up between the countries with the momentum of travel.

Gracia approached him, leaned on his back and said happily: "Doesn't that mean that our legal problems have been solved?" ”

Zhou You shook his head with a smile and turned around to kiss her red lips. "It's not that simple, we haven't filed with the International Seabed Authority, and it's still illegal salvage. Now it's up to Demosa to Kingston. ”

The United Nations International Seabed Authority (ISA) is the authoritative organization governing the international seabed area and its resources, and in March 1983, the Preparatory Commission for the United Nations International Seabed Authority and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea was established in accordance with the resolution of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. The main task is to formulate relevant rules and regulations in preparation for the establishment of the International Seabed Authority and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and to deal with the registration of applications by pioneer investors.

On 16 November 1994, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea entered into force, and in the same year, the International Seabed Authority was officially established in Kingston, Jamaica.

At present, the International Seabed Authority has more than 150 members, and Singapore is one of the parties. However, the mainland is not one of the member states, so there is no corresponding rights and obligations, and Zhou You refused to open a salvage company in the mainland, mainly because of this reason.

However, after the new century, three years to be exact, the mainland, in the name of the largest investor, became a member of the management of Group B of the International Seabed Authority.

This is also a joke, because the mainland is not a member, but becomes one of the thirty-six administrators.

It can be seen that this organization does not actually have any privileges, but is only the product of compromise.

Zhou did not have time to go to Jamaica in the Caribbean at this time, so he had to send Demosa there to help him with this matter. There is a representative of Singapore who has applied, and he just needs to wait for news there.

After breakfast, I couldn't rest my travels, so I drove to Bilbao with a few old men and Gracia.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhou Youzhou only went ashore, and last night he was notified to Chakel on the Ranger. Therefore, the Ranger, which is not far from Spain, stopped off the coast of Bilbao in the early hours of this morning. They will wait until the arrival of the circumference before docking at the port of Bilbao.

At the same time, two police station officers who were travelling from Madrid to Plymouth, Rankin and Mendes, also walked through the gates of the Coast Guard.

After Fernández saw them, he no longer remained silent, and told everything about his experience for more than half a month.

However, when he said it at this time, there was no more effect than letting the British know more details.

Because on TV, they had seen the Ranger docked in a port in Spain, and Zhou You generously let more than 200 reporters board the Ranger and photographed the piles of silver coins and antiques in the warehouse.

Seeing such a scene, not to mention that the British lost the mind to pursue it, even Fernandez couldn't figure it out.

Why did Zhou You dare to expose these riches in the open? Why is there no interest in the wealth of Spain? Why did he dare to go straight to Spain?

Fernandez couldn't say much about anything else, other than more details.

Because he had been helping out in the warehouse and was not in the control room, he had no idea where the Ranger was salvage.

The sea is vast, and there is no reference except the starry sky. If it is not specially trained, it is difficult for an ordinary person to rely on the sunrise and sunset, as well as the starry sky, to determine his position.

You know, the difference is a thousand miles!

According to Fernández's guess, it is better to look directly at the flight records of the Guard helicopter, this location is more accurate than Fernández's guess.

At the speed of the Ranger, in less than three hours, the Ranger moved no more than a hundred kilometers at most.

However, at a distance of 100 kilometers, Fernandez did not know the direction of the voyage, that is, to extend to a distance of 200 kilometers, according to such an estimate, to find a specific salvage site, it was necessary to search an area of more than 40,000 square kilometers, which was simply an impossible task.

So, although they knew that there were still many antiques at the bottom of the sea, there was no way to find them.

Shaking off the things that went around, Fernández was scared at this time. Because he knows very well that although his organization has now returned to the right path, it is still a gang at its roots. I am now a traitor, and there is absolutely no good result waiting for me.

He didn't dare to go back to Spain, and the best way for him now was to go to South America, because in South America, most countries speak Spanish, and the status of Spaniards there is still good.

However, he was not sure that he had not contributed much, and whether the police would be willing to spend a high cost to arrange for him to go to South America.

He himself couldn't figure out why things had become the way they were, why things hadn't developed according to his expectations, and he was just a villain now, but he hadn't played any role yet.

Rankin also knew Fernandez's concerns, and after some careful consideration, he said to him: "We still need a staff member in our liaison office in Ecuador, I will arrange a new identity for you, and you can develop there in the future!" ”

Fernandez didn't dare to say anything, because this arrangement was good enough for him. The main problem is that he has contributed too little......

He couldn't figure out why neither the British nor Rankin had any interest in the antiques of the sea, you know, it was a lot of wealth!

He really didn't know that it was more difficult to find a shipwreck in the sea than it was to find a golden sand in the desert!

In Santurse, north of Bilbao, the Ranger docked in a number of reporters, and after closing several major locations, he was able to let nearly 200 reporters shoot on the Ranger.

This time, he salvaged nearly 300,000 silver coins, less than 200 gold coins, and more than 100 gold and silver ornaments and antiques plundered from the North American continent.

Three hundred chests of 300,000 silver coins were filled, and everyone was like crazy in the face of a huge amount of wealth, and countless spears and short cannons were aimed at these chests.

The staff also put on sheepskin gloves and showed all the reporters the process of their packaging, and Chuckel said in front of everyone: "Although we are a privately held company, we have taken more protective measures in the process of protecting cultural relics and salvage than many museums." ”

Hearing this, Zhou You couldn't help but want to laugh.

But in any case, the purpose of this propaganda was achieved, and now the Ranger is docked in Spanish ports, just waiting for the British side to react.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou You received a phone call from the British side through the Bathay Provincial Government, in which the British side was very mild, and they did not even pay attention to how much Zhou You had gained this time, but only asked him about the detailed location of the salvage this time, and whether it had infringed on the interests of the British side.

Of course, Zhou You refused to tell them the coordinates of the Royal Merchant, so he talked to them on the phone and made an appointment for an interview.

This kind of thing, without a long period of negotiation, is simply impossible to solve, just by communicating on the phone, can not solve any problems.

The British moved quickly this time, and the next day, a full negotiating team arrived in Bilbao.

The negotiating team includes antiquities experts, international law lawyers, coordinators and even Wilkom of the Coast Guard.

And just as they arrived in Bilbao, Zhou You also received news from the British side that Fernandez was missing.

If Fernández was still in the hospital, Zhou You would not suspect him, because according to Caneroga's investigation, he had been in the organization for more than five years, just a few years before Zhou You took control of them.

But now that he is gone, Zhou You believes that his injury this time may not be just an accident.

He immediately conveyed orders to Caneroga, immediately investigating Fernandez's whereabouts, listening to Fernandez's family's phone calls, and tracking them.

This time, Fernandez's actions caused him to lose at least 150 million dollars, and even killing him would not ease the resentment of Zhou You.

According to his memory, the Royal Merchant had nearly half a million silver coins, more than 300 gold coins, and hundreds of antiques, with a total value of more than half a billion dollars.

When Odyssey got this fortune, it was not only the $500 million in cash that they gained, but their stock price rose by more than 80 percent at once, which was a lot of money at the time.

But now, the company is his own and has not been listed, so his value will definitely not rise much. But the wealth of 500 million US dollars has now become less than 350 million, and Zhou You can't swallow this breath!

Although these antiques are still in the sea, it will be difficult to do it if you want to salvage them secretly. Because the location is so close to the UK.

The site of the sinking of the Royal Merchant is only fifty kilometers from the southernmost island of Scilly in the United Kingdom. Speaking of which, this is not a complete high sea, although it is not the territorial waters of the United Kingdom, but it is also part of their exclusive economic zone. This is because, according to UNCLOS, the territorial sea is only 12 nautical miles, but the exclusive economic zone reaches 200 nautical miles, which is almost 360 kilometers.

The site of the sinking of the Royal Merchant is only fifty kilometers from the Isles of Scilly, and even less than a hundred kilometers from the British mainland. Don't say that the Royal Merchant was originally a merchant ship in British history, and even if it wasn't, it was necessary to hand over 10% of the profits to them.

Of course, Zhou You is willing to give them a hundred percent of the benefits, and if the British side accepts it, he can continue to negotiate with the British side on this condition and salvage the remaining silver coins, but if the British side does not agree, Zhou You will have no chance to get these silver coins at all.

Sure enough, as he expected, the British side opened their mouths at the beginning. Before the ship's identity could be determined, they began to make a fuss, saying that the wreck was the historic British frigate Victor Forest.

The Victor Forest, a famous shipwreck in British history, was part of the British Navy and sank in 1545 in a storm while returning to Europe laden with gold, silver and jewels from South America.

Of course, Zhou Yu knew that this was not the Victor Forest, but he couldn't say that it was the Royal Merchant. For if he had directly stated that it was the Royal Merchant, the British would immediately be able to find countless descendants of the ship's owner to compete with Zhou You for this fortune.

However, he could not admit that this was the Victor Forest, because the warship was a national asset, just like the Mercedes, even if it was salvaged from a tour, the Spanish side could want it back, because the warship was a national asset and the country had the right to inherit.

Therefore, Zhou You also came up with evidence to prove that the age of the ship was after 1545 with various cultural relics salvaged, because many of the silver coins on the ship were made after 1545.

In any case, the daily negotiations go on very slowly, and often a small issue can be argued for a long time.

Zhou You got upset after two days of attendance and handed over the matter to old Volando to lead the negotiations. These old men had a lot of experience, plenty of time, and good patience, and let them participate in the negotiations, and they were relieved of Zhou You.

Subsequently, the British side wanted to confiscate Zhou You's harvest in the name of illegal salvage, which Zhou You certainly would not agree to, and took out a certificate issued by the Singapore court to prove that he had applied for the exclusive right to salvage in advance.

The two sides struggled for several days over this issue, and in the end, the British side did not take advantage of it.

The British side has slowly lowered its requirements, but their bottom line has never dropped below 50 percent, and it is certainly unacceptable to travel around.

During the period of their negotiations, the turmoil caused by the Ranger has spread all over the world, and countless media have named Zhou You the luckiest person in the world, because in the past few years, Zhou Youguang has gained more than one billion US dollars from the sea, which has exceeded the wealth of 99% of the world's people, squeezed into the list of 1,000 people in the world's richest list, and directly entered the top 500 with a net worth of 1.3 billion US dollars.
