(Thank you for the world's handjob, Yangshujing, Dakeke's reward, thank you for your support.) ）

The two of them have different positions, so although what they say is not wrong, the results are contradictory.

These remunerations were paid by the Spanish government, and if Zhou You put it all in his pocket at once, it would cause strong resentment in society and be detrimental to Zhou You's reputation.

But when you really invest in Spain, the rate of return is really not high.

From the standpoint of rate of return, it is indeed a good channel to invest in high-tech companies in Silicon Valley now. Although he can't trade stocks, he has memories of the future.

It's like Apple, now their stock is only $8 per share, and according to the current market size, Apple's market value is only $6 billion, and after they split their shares twice, the market value soared to more than 600 billion yuan, and even exceeded $700 billion at one time, appreciating more than 100 times.

If Zhou You can invest 5 percent now, let alone 300 million US dollars, he is willing to pay 500 million US dollars, because the current 500 million US dollars will become 30 or 40 billion US dollars in more than ten years, and there is no such easy way to make money.

Of course, although the current 5 percent stake in Apple is only worth $300 million, it is not so easy to buy it.

Because most of Apple's shares are in the hands of financial institutions, banks, and investment funds, and there are very few in circulation in the market, it is not so easy to buy even if you have money.

The only companies that can rush to invest in it now and occupy a dominant stake are Facebook, which was created three years later. Zhou You is ready in his heart, and when Facebook is created, even if he exhausts all methods, he will have to take a large share.

As long as the ferry, Tencent, Google, Apple, and Facebook companies develop, they will be equivalent to lying on the pile of money, and they will no longer have to worry about money.

As for business, Zhou You didn't have much interest because he was definitely not a businessman himself.

In the future, if you have money, invest in the film and television industry, and the unspoken rule of a few big stars will be enough.

Seeing that the two chicks began to fight each other again, Zhou You gave each ass a slap impartially. "What's the noise? I don't know if it's a Mercedes! $400 million is still a no-brainer. When you have the money, invest some in Spain, and then go to Silicon Valley to invest in a few tech companies, and soon it's OK! ”

Zhou You didn't hit it hard, and the two chicks covered their butts exaggeratedly, with a harmless smile on their faces, and a storm ended naturally.

However, the Ranger's new discovery caused more and more turmoil. It's just that the situation on the bottom of the sea hasn't been fully understood, so it hasn't turned into a storm.

It is foreseeable that when it is confirmed that the wreck is the Mercedes, the storm will definitely detonate the whole world.

Starting the next day, Liang Hao took Yang Enquan to put the two robots to the bottom of the sea, and the two robots began to clean up the aquatic weeds and sediment around the wreck at the same time.

It took three days for the two of them, one with an assistant, to clean up the aquatic weeds and the surrounding sediment, and completely expose the wreck to everyone.

Prior to this, the Spanish side had already determined that the ship was the Mercedes, which had sunk to the bottom of the sea for nearly two hundred years, based on video data and historical documents.

There has never been a national war in Spain, which also makes their materials from hundreds of years ago relatively well preserved, and even the construction drawings of the Mercedes are still preserved. Therefore, before entering the interior of the ship, just by the shape of the wreck, the wood of the hull, and the address of the wreck, they can already determine that this is the Mercedes.

On 27 April, the Spanish government took the initiative to reveal to the outside world that the Mercedes was about to return to the sky, which immediately caused a huge repercussion around the world.

The Mercedes is well documented to have nearly 600,000 eighteenth-century silver coins on board, as well as an unknown number of gold coins, antiques, and several boxes of precious stones, all of which would be worth a billion dollars, if not a billion dollars.

If it weren't for this reason, the Spanish government would not have directly signed an agreement with Zhou You, and if the antiques salvaged from the water exceeded 800 million US dollars, these treasures would be shared equally with Zhou You.

Of course, the Spanish government will not sell these antiques, but will sell a large number of silver coins to build a new museum.

These antiques can be said to be priceless to a country.

Sotheby's auction house immediately contacted the Spanish government and offered to help with the auction of the silver coin, and gave a guaranteed reserve price of the lowest previous US dollars for a silver coin.

However, the Spanish government politely rejected the offer, and they would sell the coins, but only in Spain, and only to Spaniards.

If foreigners were allowed to buy it, they might be liable for the loss of cultural relics.

600,000 silver coins, according to the minimum of 1,000 dollars each, that is 600 million dollars, not counting other artifacts and antiques.

Prime Minister Jose López did not make up his mind about negotiating with Zhou You last year because it coincided with the general election, but after he was re-elected, he signed a cooperation agreement with Zhou You as soon as possible.

This agreement was originally praised by the Spaniards because they did not have to spend a penny to have a chance to see the Mercedes again.

But now that the Mercedes has been discovered, the deal has been immediately criticized by opposition parties and some others as too much to pay for the Spanish government, compared to the $400 million to be paid for the trip.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion about the agreement from all walks of life, both supporters and oppositionists, and the two sides began to debate fiercely in the major media.

But these debates did not have the slightest impact on the agreement that had been reached, and only had one effect, and that was to promote the traveling Nanyang commercial salvage company.

Zhou You's company was originally just a little-known professional company, which has been known to few people outside the industry, but this time it has been promoted for free in the world's major media, and it has become a "famous" company for a while, and it has become famous all over the world.

For this reason, Singapore, where his company is located, has also been mentioned many times, and it can be regarded as free publicity for a small country like Singapore.

In addition to this reputational publicity, there are certainly many practical benefits, and many countries around the world have sent faxes to their headquarters in Singapore, inviting Nanyang Commercial Salvage Company to salvage shipwrecks for their countries.

Especially those small countries in South America, they do not have the strength and technology of deep-sea salvage, so they do not have the ability to search and salvage shipwrecks with a water depth of more than 1,000 meters.

From April 27 to May 4, in just one week, Lin Wei received more than 20 invitations. However, Zhou You made Lin Wei refuse all of them for the time being, because the first thing to do now is to salvage the Mercedes first.

Orti came to the Ranger by helicopter on April 28, and since she was in Zhou You's bed, Zhou You did not keep it secret from her, and made many of the video materials available to her.

Immediately in hand, Spanish national television used the footage, as well as the interviews with each individual, to create a 180-minute special.

The 180-minute show, which was divided into six 30-minute episodes, was broadcast on Spanish television at 11 p.m. in prime time every night, and immediately caused a new wave of ratings.

This 180-minute show not only caused a ratings boom in Spain and earned a lot of advertising money, but was also bought by more than 40 TV stations around the world, making more than 10 million US dollars.

According to the agreement between Zhou You and their TV station, Zhou You can get 30% of the copyright income, and by this alone, the profit has reached more than 3 million US dollars.

These programs were broadcast all over the world and caused a huge response. And Orti relied on interviews with them to stabilize her position as the first sister of Spanish television, and also greatly promoted Orti's influence around the world.

Because she occupies the most prominent position in these video materials.

With this foundation, Spanish TV pays more attention to the cooperation with Zhou You, because the Mercedes has not yet started salvage, it is already so popular, and when it is actually salvaged, it will definitely be even more attractive.

Therefore, this time, the TV station sent a shooting and production team of up to seven people to participate in the salvage operation. If it weren't for the limited space on the Ranger, they would have been eager to send more people aboard.

However, the Ranger had limited space, and Zhou Cruiser sacrificed a lot of space to create a comfortable environment for the crew. According to the original design, the Ranger could accommodate more than 300 people, but the crew cabins that were modified by Zhou Youyou were less than 40 people, and the maximum number of crew cabins could only accommodate 80 people.

In order to compete for the space here, Spanish TV took a lot of effort to get three seats in the crew cabin. Luckily, Orti has a good relationship with Roa, and she can still share a cabin with Roa.

All but two of the remaining empty cabins were reserved for Mediacorp in Singapore, and the rest were booked by people from various departments in Spain, which also led to complaints from the media in other countries.

But there is no way, even if the space is not tight, Zhou You does not want his words and deeds to be exposed to the world. What's more, if the media are all on board, how can you reap the maximum benefits?

Now that he has been granted the exclusive rights to broadcast Spanish television, he has 30% in return. Even Mediacorp, which is Singapore's national propaganda mouthpiece, can only take the rights from Spanish television, but they have to pay less than other media.

After a week of wrangling, the space on the ship was allocated, and the salvage plan was also introduced under the research of all parties. Since then, the salvage operation has been officially launched.

Dozens of people had to be added to the ship at once, which also added a lot of additional logistical pressure. Whether it is fresh water or vegetables, including the supply of various ingredients, it needs to be transported from the mainland.

To this end, the Spanish government also jointly funded with Zhou You to rent a 100-ton fishing boat to provide logistics services for the Ranger, and Zhou Minghong and the people sent by the Spanish government also took this fishing boat to the Ranger far away from the mainland.
