Chapter 91 Ming Dynasty Shipwreck Salvage Project

Yu You, as the CEO of the company, always drives by himself, sometimes when he has to drink for the necessary entertainment, Yu You has to call Shen Bing or a substitute driver to drive, which is a lot of trouble, and Shen Bing is also relatively busy now, always asking him to come over in the middle of the night to send him home, Yu You still feels a little uncomfortable.

Johansen, who has a full-time driver and bodyguard, is different, and it is his duty to escort Yu You back safely.

After returning to Binhai, Johansen's employment was handed over to the personnel department, and they would deal with the work visa for black American Johansen to come to China, and also settled Johansen, and Yu You also hired a Chinese teacher for him to teach Johansen Chinese.

It was only when he became fluent in language that Johansen was able to better understand the people and things of the country.

In terms of salary, he is naturally higher than that of a photographer before, you must know that he is only an intern photographer and has not yet become a regular photographer, so the salary is not too high, and he has not even signed a formal contract. According to Johansen, his starting salary is $1,200 a month, which should be the average monthly salary of an average photographer.

And Yu You's salary for him is 20,000 yuan a month, which is equivalent to 3,000 US dollars a month, which is more than twice as high as before, and includes food and accommodation, and also provides some programs including language training.

Coupled with the fact that working on the seashore no longer has to shoot in the most dangerous areas of the world, this is what Johansen has always wanted, and he also wants to settle down.

Not to mention that Yu You recruited a former nBa bench player and photographer Johansen as a security guard and driver, and gradually began to adapt to life in the waterfront.

The 500 tonnes of cod demanded by Barthe's supermarket have also been transported to the port** All the freighters under the name of Wu Zexun have been transferred to the British port, and they are still sailing at sea, and there is still a month to go.

When he traveled to the Sahara Desert in northern Africa, a project that the business department had been following had a new turn, and Cai Lifan, as the manager of the business department, came to report the results.

In the office, Cai Lifan excitedly took a stack of documents and handed them to Yu You, sat opposite and drank a glass of boiled water, and said: "Boss, a few days ago, we negotiated with the relevant departments, and they conducted an international bidding, planning to find a suitable salvage company to start salvaging the Ming Dynasty shipwreck located in the area of about 50 nautical miles near the coast. ”

"That's the right one, isn't it? What's your offer? Yu You said while checking the information, the shipwreck of the Ming Dynasty, then the value of the goods contained in it should not be small.

"According to the international salvage price, that is, 80% of the value of the sunken cargo, and I also added one, that is, the salvage of the hull does not count the cost, and after all, we are a local salvage company, so the relevant coastal departments still tend to look for us to salvage." Cai Lifan must have done a lot of work in this regard, foreign salvage companies do not understand the domestic market, and failure is also a matter of course.

Yu You looked at the information, there is still a lot of information about the shipwreck, the specific location is an approximate, according to the inference, the ship should be filled with porcelain tea, a large amount of porcelain is intended to be transported to Japan, North Korea to buy Korean ginseng and silver, gold, sunk after encountering bad weather, the specific value remains to be explored, but I have to say that this salvage mission is still quite attractive.

It is not far from the coast, that is, about 50 nautical miles, Yu You starts from the port, and it takes more than 4 hours to arrive if it is fast, and more than 5 hours if it is slow.

The sea depth is about 2000-3000 meters, according to the estimate, this batch of porcelain is produced by the official kiln, each piece is worth a lot of money, so calculated, Yu You can make a great profit, although these porcelain Yu You can not collect privately, but can be exchanged for cash.

The domestic salvage industry is still in its infancy, and can not be compared with foreign salvage companies, so many times have to be subject to others, many antiques are salvaged up, the relevant departments have to spend a lot of money to buy, and Yu You salvage is only according to the market value, converted to 80 percent, some salvage companies are completely higher than the value of the salvage items sold.

In any case, this salvage project not only has historical research value for the domestic study of Ming Dynasty porcelain and ships, but also allows Yu You to obtain a large number of old people's heads.

"Okay, you did a good job in this matter, and when the time comes, the successful salvage, the year-end bonus of your business department will be increased accordingly." After Yu You learned about the specifics of the project, he made a phone call to Johansen.

"Johansen, drive out, let's take a trip to the Marina Hotel." After Yu You got off the building with the contract, he went to a high-end reception room of the Binhai Hotel, and formally signed the contract with the person in charge of the relevant department.

The last time he negotiated the salvage project of silver from the wreck in the UK, Yu You chose to wait for the development of the situation because he did not want to be constrained by the Poseidon salvage company, and he did not know whether Poseidon had explored the whereabouts of the silver.

Of course, at present, the salvage of the Ming Dynasty shipwreck in the waters near the coastal area is a top priority, and the British salvage project, Youlong Company is still keeping up, mainly to understand the relevant developments, Yu You plans to wait for the end of this salvage mission, and then go to the United Kingdom to see.

After all, the amount of silver salvaged this time is amazing, and it is not so easy to give up. And it's a good opportunity to defeat the Yankees' Poseidon, after so long, if the Poseidon company succeeds, it will definitely be hyped up in the international mainstream media.

And now there is no news in the media about Poseidon's exploration and salvage of silver sunken ships in the waters near the United Kingdom, so it means that the salvage is not going too smoothly, and this may be an opportunity for Youlong.

"I can't manage so much for the time being, let's concentrate on salvaging the Ming Dynasty shipwreck, I'm really looking forward to what treasures are in this ship." Yu You's work focus has shifted to salvage the wreck, because there are no orders in fishing, so there is no need to wander around the sea without purpose, the consumption of diesel is one thing, and the best fishing season has passed is the most important.

After Yu You signed a contract with the person in charge of Binhai's salvage Ming Dynasty shipwreck project, he said to Johansen in the car: "How are you learning Chinese recently?" ”

Johansen has been here for a few weeks, there are 2 hours of study time every night, the place he rents is not far from the Youlong Mansion, 10 minutes walk, Yu You can call Johansen to help drive at any time, sometimes Johansen is more responsible for Yu You's outfit B, there is a black bodyguard waiting outside the door, it's more convenient to go there.

Johansen had good driving skills, drove smoothly, slowed down, and replied in Chinese: "Boss, have you eaten?" ”

Yu You was extremely surprised, it has only been a few weeks, this kid's pronunciation is very standard, should it be said that the Chinese teacher is better or Johansen's language talent is good?

In fact, blacks are recognized as linguistic geniuses! There is no doubt about this, probably because of the good sense of musicality.

"Very good, Johansen, your teacher gave you a Chinese name?" Yu You felt that he was not used to calling English names in China all the time, so he asked about this, and it stands to reason that if you want to live and work in China for a long time, you must have a Chinese name.

Johansen said a Chinese name that made Yu You cry and laugh, and said coolly: "Li Bai." ”

"Poof-" Yu You took a can of soda in a small Xiaoice box exclusive to the back seat of the phantom, and when he heard this Chinese name, he immediately burst into laughter, and became interested in Johansen's Chinese teacher.

The communication between the two is still basically in English, and now Johansen, no, should be called Li Bai, and the level of Chinese is still at the level of daily language.

Of course, give him some time, it won't be long before Li Bai will be able to master Chinese, this is limited to spoken Chinese, written Chinese is not something that can be learned in a while, if Li Bai is interested, I believe that soon he will understand who "Li Bai" is.

After returning home, Li Bai parked the Rolls-Royce Phantom in the garage, talked to Yu You, and left, he still has today's Chinese class to take, to say that Li Bai is still quite busy now.

"Johansen went back?" Meng Tian went downstairs, saw Yu You and asked.

Yu You kissed Meng Tian's cheek, and the two chatted in the hall, and when Meng Tian learned that Johansen's Chinese name was Li Bai, he also smiled from ear to ear.

"Xiaolan, this guy has a good Chinese name for Johansen."

"Oh? The English teacher you hired for Johansen is your friend? ”

"yes, he's a former classmate of mine."

After chatting about this topic for a while, Yu You changed the problems at work and said: "Tiantian, the company undertook a government salvage project, do you know?" ”

"Yes, the Ming Dynasty shipwreck."

Yu You said unwillingly: "This project has been implemented, I was just thinking that the last time we went to London, England to no avail, and the mainstream media did not report on Poseidon's salvage project this time, it may be an opportunity for us." ”

"I've been asking people to follow this matter, and tomorrow I'll ask the person in charge, maybe the British government can't sit still." Meng Tian also understands that Yu You will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this time the Ming Dynasty shipwreck was salvaged on the spot, obviously to warm up for a big project in the UK.

Yu You and Meng Tian chatted for a while, went upstairs and used the Internet to connect Yu Qi and Yu Lan in the UK, as well as their parents in Guixi, and now the second elder has been able to access the Internet, of course, Yu Da Niu needs to watch from the side, and the more skilled Yu Guangrong can not only follow the Internet steps written in the note left by Yu You and Yu You and Yu Qi for their video calls, but also be able to query information and watch news and the like.

The speed of progress has impressed Yu You! This also shows that as long as the older generation is willing to learn, computer technology is not inferior to that of young people.

Meng Tian also chatted with his parents in western Sichuan on the Internet, they both know how to use computers, after all, there is a need for this at work, and they went to study a few years ago.
