"The Happy Wanderer?"

Several experts at Christie's were working on a parchment, although it looked very dilapidated, and even the so-called parchment was not necessarily authentic; But these experts are extremely excited.

"In the work of the rules, the work is tiring and the wages are meager; Become a pirate and get plenty of food and clothing, comfort and pleasure, as well as freedom and power. The worst outcome is just a few glances of contempt when you are hanged, and a short life is a happy life! ”

When an old expert translated the old English whose handwriting was no longer very clear, Yang Guang, who had not been in Miami for a long time, still looked stupid. But these experts were excited.

This is a book found on the merchant ship that Zhou Quan found on the bottom of the sea, although it is only a few thin pages, but it seems to be preserved in a 'safe'. Such ancient books are very valuable, especially if you can't read them yourself.

"The Pirate Code, the real Pirate Code!"

The experts were thrilled, and it was a remarkable find; This code of pirates is of great value. Although he still looked stupid, but after glancing at Yang Guang, Zhou Quan knew that he had made a lot of money this time.

"Guys, I believe that this code of pirates has a close relationship with Barthony Romuel Roberts, the last great captain in the history of piracy. While we know that he died off the coast of Africa, this will not be his flagship, the Royal Happiness. However, his first pirate ship was the Royal Tramp, and it was the Voyager that he broke into the harbor and snatched his new flagship, the Royal Happiness! ”

"I believe that this corsair is a side ship from Roberts. He robbed more than 400 ships, and we all know that Roberts controlled the route from Africa to the Americas, and he razed some Portuguese colonies in revenge. He has a large pirate group, he has a lot of pirate ships, and this happy Wanderer is a member of Roberts's pirate group! ”

The experts were entangled in a heated discussion because of the ship's name, because the pirate codes were so close to the black baronet-to-be Sechen. Constitution developed by Marmuel Roberts.

In his pirate career, he robbed more than 400 ships in total, and he has a very complex personality, first of all, unlike other pirates, he never drinks spirits, only weak tea, and he is also a very charter-oriented person. So many people think that Roberts perfected the code of pirates developed by his predecessors.

In fact, other pirate ships have similar rules, but Roberts is the one who enforces them the most; Roberts's code of pirates was, in the words of later historians, "primitive democracy."

Zhou Quan didn't care so much, he just needed to know that this pirate code was worth a lot of money now; In fact, what he needs more is to make money, so he doesn't care about the so-called history and the like. And it is clear that history is written by the victors; It's like these experts are studying the 'Happy Wanderer', but they certainly don't know that the pirate ship has been changed beyond recognition before it even comes out of the water.

Zhou Quan is happy because his 'discovery' is of historical value, and this pirate ship is of great value because he is associated with a legendary pirate king.

Although Captain Kidd is famous, but unfortunately he doesn't have any skills, Blackbeard is brave but he is just a reckless man, Drake can be said to be an all-rounder, but he is an "official pirate" who serves the queen. Taken together, many people believe that the "Most Achievement Award" should be given to Captain Roberts, who was the last glory of the Golden Age of Pirates.

Now, once again, a clue has been found to connect with the legendary pirate king.

"Yes, I've found this ship. I have some material and video to give you to study, but I would like to know if Christie's auction house is capable of converting my findings into a sufficient profit. ”

Finally got down to business, sitting in the spacious and bright living room, drinking delicious coffee, and looking very confident.

"Mr. Zhou, I believe we can reach a cooperation. Christie's brands include rare works of art, watches, jewelry, automobiles and wines, and I am sure that your discovery will be the biggest discovery of the season at Christie's, and even enough to be dedicated to an exhibition or auction around your discovery. ”

Account Manager Christian. William came in a hurry, and he didn't expect that the two Chinese who had only planned to come for identification had brought a remarkable discovery. It alarmed the senior appraisers, and even alarmed a large number of high-level officials. Such a potential customer must be grasped, because as an auction house, they need those products that are attractive enough, and these products are often available but not sought.

"I want to know how much specific information Mr. Zhou has, we can all understand its nature, and we don't need to worry about some people trying to come and rob Mr. Zhou's wealth. However, these discoveries are not yet proof of its full value, and we may need more proof, and we need to prove that it is different. ”

"It's a bit difficult and unrealistic to salvage the whole ship. However, I can publish the details of the salvage and the full findings. ”

"So that we can replicate the happy wanderer in proportion, which will greatly increase its value. Pirate craze is all the rage right now, and as you probably know, there's a pirate museum in Miami. I'm sure the big pirate museums will be very interested in such a legendary pirate ship. ”

"By the way, I've noticed a lot of differences on this ship. There are some special guns, breech guns, breech guns, and it seems to be standard artillery. I salvaged a few cannons, such as a 7-inch cannon, a 5-inch Kofilin, and some Spanish sword and shield equipment, arquebuses. ”

Zhou Quan was communicating with Christian, in order to be able to sell some big money, in order to organize a sensational auction.

"Mr. Zhou, do you mean that artifacts from the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries appeared on a boat?"

"Yes, and some Spanish gold coins, silver ingots, although they are in small quantities. These include some remains, as well as a number of other discoveries. I wondered if I could entrust them to Christie's, I knew they were valuable. ”

"Mr. Zhou, I don't know the exact number of cultural relics now. But I believe that if you can prove that these pirate artifacts came from a ship, which spans two centuries on a single ship, it will be enough to make them skyrocket! We will organize a showcase, we will send out invitations to our customers, we will have PR, publicity, and everyone will know that you have made a great discovery. ”

"The last pirate king, the world's first concrete code of pirates, and two centuries of weaponry displays. Perhaps, this is the result of the British pirates who once robbed the Spanish fleet. But that's not right, these Spanish fleets are a hundred or two hundred years older than this pirate ship. ”

Zhou Quan was chatting eagerly with Christian, and Yang Guang, who had been listening for a long time, summed it up at this time; Although his summary is not very in place, he even bypassed himself.

However, Zhou Quan and Christian were stunned for a moment and then laughed, such unsolved mysteries are the most attractive!

I signed a power of attorney and handed over my 'discovery and salvage' video materials to Christie's by the way, and it was not cost-effective to salvage the boat as a whole, and the cost was too high. What's more, because Zhou Quan knows that some things can't stand scrutiny and research, so the boat can't be fished up, and can only be judged according to the situation in these videos I gave; Even, whether there is a need to investigate this ship now is a matter of two words.

Zhou Quan is indeed a very scumbag and ruined a treasure ship; However, he can now be ready to enjoy the pleasure of making a fortune with peace of mind.

Only the sum of less than five hundred gold and silver coins is indeed a little less; These pirates are not necessarily rich, and when they have money, they are basically squandering. However, the equipment of the Spanish sword and shield soldiers, as well as the early artillery, bullets, and even the weapons of the pirates, were actually very valuable.

Including the pirate code, there are also some medieval nautical charts and some household items including carved glassware and bronze kettles, which are quite valuable. And treasure does not mean that it is gold and silver treasure. In fact, many of the shipwrecks were not loaded with gold treasures, but their cargo is still extremely valuable today. These wrecks were kept in the absence of air in the ocean, and some of the shipwrecks lying in deep water were particularly well preserved.

There are a lot of artifacts, and the discovery itself has a lot of uncertainties and puzzles, plus it has a relationship with the legendary Pirate King.

So the result is that this auction must be booming!
