Chapter 250: Awa Maru

When Ye Ning controlled the swordfish to find the sixteenth clone in the ocean.

Ma Rongbin, Tang Shuang, Sun Xinxin, and Shi Xiaofei were not idle, they were all working hard to sell all kinds of marine treasures that Ye Ning had fished up.

"Wonder Boy" and "Wonder Pet Shop" are famous, which has caused this place to become more and more popular, and they are a little too busy.

Ma Rongbin suddenly hurriedly ran into the office and said excitedly: "Ye Ning, there is a big business." ”

Ye Ning opened his eyes and smiled: "Didn't I say it, those things are handed over to you, you are in charge of what price you pay." ”

Ye Ning doesn't know much more about the value of those ocean treasures than them, and they only know it after a detailed investigation or an expert appraisal, so they don't want to waste time on valuation, so they have full authority to take care of it, give them a commission of one percent, and the more they sell, the more they will earn.

Ma Rongbin said excitedly: "What I want to say is not about this, but another big business." ”

Ye Ning became interested: "Oh? What big business? ”

Ma Rongbin said, "Do you know the Awa Maru? ”

Ye Ning's eyes lit up slightly: "I have heard a little." ”

In fact, Ye Ning had heard of it a little, and had already checked it in detail on the Internet, but the information on the Internet was limited, and some secrets could not be found at all.

The Awa Maru, a wreck that haunts all salvage collectors around the world. Legend has it that it was a "mountain of gold" weighing 40 tons. This is a Japanese ocean liner built in the early 40s of the 20th century, with a length of 154.9 meters and a width of 20.2 meters. On March 28, 1945, the Awa Maru, which had been requisitioned by the Japanese army, loaded a large number of Japanese retreating from Southeast Asia in Singapore and sailed to Japan. At midnight on April 1, the "Awa Maru" sailed to the sea east of Niushan Island in Fujian-Jian Province, China. It was discovered by the U.S. submarine USS Queenfish, which was cruising in the area. Hit by several torpedoes. It sank quickly after 3 minutes. Of the ship's 2,009 passengers and crew, only Kantaro Shimoda, a third-class cook, survived.

According to a special report in the November-December 1976 issue of the Republican newspaper in the United States, the "Awa Maru" was loaded with 40 tons of gold, 12 tons of platinum, 150,000 carats of industrial diamonds, a large bundle of banknotes of unknown value, and 40 boxes of artefacts, handicrafts, and precious stones of unknown value. The minimum salvage value is estimated at $249 million. All wealth is worth up to $5 billion. According to Taiwan's "China Times" report on November 21, 1976, "Awa Maru" was sunk with 40 tons of gold ingots, 12 tons of platinum, 150,000 carats of unprocessed gemstones, several bundles of American, British, and Hong Kong currency, 40 boxes of handicrafts, 3,000 tons of tin, 2,000 tons of tungsten, 2,000 tons of aluminum, 800 tons of titanium, and 2,000 tons of rubber. May 2, 1979. Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" reported that the army commander (that is, corporal) Morikawa Iemitsu said. The 26 trucks loaded by the Awa Maru were all gold bars. In addition to these gold and silver treasures, it is likely that there is another priceless treasure on the shipwreck: it is said that when US President Richard Nixon visited China in 1972, he provided clues to the Chinese side that the priceless "Peking Man" skull fossil may be on the shipwreck "Awa Maru".

In 1977, the State Council and the Central Military Commission decided that the Ministry of Communications and the Navy would work together to salvage the "Awa Maru" wreck, and a total of 2,472 tons of tin ingots were recovered, priced at more than 5,000 US dollars, as well as thousands of tons of rubber and other goods. However, the rumored 40 tonnes of gold and the "Peking Man" skull were not found. However, some scholars believe that because of the incompleteness of the salvage, limited by the deep-diving technology and deep-water desilting technology at that time, about 10,000 cubic meters of silt buried the vault, the bridge, the guest rooms, the crew cabins and the engine room, and divers could not reach those locations at all, and the priceless treasure may still lie on the bottom of the sea.

From 1977 to the present, I don't know how many people have watched the Awa Maru, but it is still a mystery sunk at the bottom of the sea.

Ma Rongbin said excitedly: "There is a Mr. Li who has been approved by the state, and is organizing the most professional team to spend a huge amount of money to secure the Awa Maru, and it is said that 50 million or even 100 million will be invested in the early stage. ”

Ye Ning frowned: "In other words, that Mr. Li also invited many other people, and we had to cooperate with them in the past?" ”

Ma Rongbin was stunned and nodded: "Of course, we can't take down such a big project alone." ”

Ma Rongbin didn't know what Ye Ning was unhappy about, it should be enough to be happy to be invited to such a huge project, as long as he was appointed, he would definitely be able to get a lot of money from it, and if he really got a treasure, he would definitely get all kinds of benefits.

Ye Ning shook his head: "We don't participate." ”

Ye Ning's marine salvage ability depends on his doppelganger ability, and when he cooperates with others, he can't explain it at all, and it is easy to be exposed, even if he has millions or even tens of millions of remuneration, it is not worth it, not to mention, how can he make money by himself when he cooperates with others, so Ye Ning has no idea of cooperating with others.

Ma Rongbin was stunned: "Don't participate? ”

In his opinion, you should participate in it without thinking about it, because this is a large project approved by the state, and there is a guarantee of national support and funds, which can be said to be a steady money, even if you can't get the treasure, you don't have to worry about losing money, and if you get the treasure, it will be even more needless to say. Moreover, in addition to these direct financial benefits, it can also make your salvage team more famous and recognized by the state, and the team that has cooperated with the country is the most trusted.

However, Ye Ning was unwilling to participate in such a big business, which made Ma Rongbin incomprehensible.

At this time, Tang Shuang and Sun Xinxin also came into the office, and looked at Ye Ning with the same doubts, not understanding that Ye Ning, who was trying to open up the salvage industry, would give up such a great opportunity.

Ye Ning smiled and said: "If the salvage of the Awa Maru is successful, it will indeed have a lot of benefits, but if the salvage is not successful, it is estimated that we can only get some hard money, which is comparable to the more than 500,000 salvaged per day now?" I don't want to waste my time on something like this that has little chance. ”

Ma Rongbin, Tang Shuang, and Sun Xinxin thought about it carefully, and felt that what Ye Ning said was not unreasonable, although they were more inclined to cooperate with the country, but they also knew that once Ye Ning made a decision, it was difficult for others to sway, so they had to listen to Ye Ning, the boss, Ma Rongbin could only call and politely refuse that Mr. Li.

In fact, Ye Ning was thinking in his heart, he had to investigate and investigate the Awa Maru, as long as he got the secret and knew the approximate location of the Awa Maru, and then waited for himself to get the sixteenth clone, the three major sea creatures clones acted together, and it was not impossible to salvage the treasure in the Awa Maru alone.

Ye Ning thought of it, first checked the full name, address, etc. of Mr. Li who organized the salvage of the Awa Maru, and then used two things, while controlling the imperial dragonfly to find that Mr. Li, and controlling the swordfish to search for the sixteenth doppelganger in the ocean.

Just when his consciousness was too busy to open the glue, a customer came to Xinxin Pet Shop, which made Ye Ning have to stop. (To be continued......)

PS: I didn't want to be verbose, but if I think about it, I'll explain it and give you an explanation. As I said before, I changed jobs some time ago, so it took a few days, and then I thought it was starting to be stable, and decided to update it steadily, but I found out that the so-called new job was a pyramid scheme den, and I was almost caught in it, and I only ran out before yesterday. I can tell you clearly that this pyramid scheme den is in the area of Honghuiyuan, District 1, Beicheng, Hefei, Anhui Province, and you should be careful if you go to friends nearby. I believe everyone has more or less heard of pyramid schemes, but what exactly is pyramid schemes may not be clear to most people, I didn't know at first, now I understand, friends who don't understand can spend more than ten minutes to check on the Internet, understand and understand, so as not to be caught in. Finally, because I lost my job and had to find a new job, the temporary update will not be fast, but it is basically guaranteed that it will not be interrupted, and I will try to speed up the update in the future.
