Chapter 129: Blackbeard's Second Update

The thickness of this piece of jadeite is just enough to take a piece of bracelet material, but its area is large enough, in addition to taking out the material of a bracelet, you can also take out three pendants, plus some rings and pendants, Mo Lao quickly calculated: "Recently, the jadeite market is bullish, the bracelet has been worth 150 million, three pendants are one large and two small, and the value is also about 150 million, and other leftovers do not need to be calculated, after all, the processing also needs processing fees, as well as taking risks, three hundred million." ”

"Very reasonable, Mr. Qin, cut me another piece of red jadeite." Helena didn't bargain either, he knew very well that such a luxury item had no price, and if Qin Xuebing hadn't looked at Dean Zhong's face, he wouldn't have sold it to her at all.

Qin Xuebing asked Wang Tianlei to cut two more knives and cut out two pieces of red jade, one of which was the tip part, about one centimeter long, and the other was the next part, about two centimeters thick. Qin Xuebing gave Mo Lao an appraisal of the two-centimeter-long piece: "It can be made into a small pendant, but it is also the top jadeite, and the price of cockscomb red can only be approximate to imperial green, and it is definitely impossible to be equivalent." Moreover, these three pendants are very small, 70 million is about the same. ”

"$60.8 million, Mr. Qin, you take it." Helena did not delay, and directly gave Qin Xuebing a check from a Swiss bank.

Qin Xuebing handed down the check, took the rooster comb red jade at the end, and handed it to Wang Yang: "Boss Wang, keep it as a souvenir." ”

"Mr. Qin, I appreciate your kindness, but this thing is too valuable." Wang Yang shook his head and refused, his current mood was extremely complicated, a piece of sky-high jade was missed like this, and he lost a leg because of it, this kind of taste is not something that outsiders can understand.

"Boss Wang, I know that solving the sky-high jade price is a blow to you, but life is like this, at least you are very happy now, aren't you? Take it. Qin Xuebing didn't know what to say, but gambling on stones is like this, and if you don't get it, it's fate. Got it is lucky.

"Yes, I have been very happy all these years, and now the knot in my heart has been untied again. I have no reason to be upset, thank you, Mr. Qin. Wang Yang sighed and laughed again. Took the cockscomb red jade.

"Qin boy, I don't want too much, cut the thickness of the two pendants for me." Chen Lao shouted again, the two-color jadeite will be talked about later, but the glass breeder cockscomb red is also the top jadeite. There's no reason not to.

"Brother Qin, can you also sell me a piece of glass breeder comb red pendant?" Wang Tianlei's Jade Pavilion has been in business for many years, but it also lacks a top-notch Jade Town store.

"Cheng, Boss Wang, you continue to cut." Qin Xuebing naturally couldn't refuse, and today the solution stone was thanks to Wang Tianlei's great help.

Wang Tianlei paid attention, first cut the materials of two pendants for Chen Lao, and when he cut his own share, the area was already not small. Then he can make two small pendants. Then use the corner to make three or four small jewelry such as ring face pendants.

Because of the relatively large area, the materials of these three pendants were sold for another 120 million, and Qin Xuebing already had a net income of 500 million, which made Qin Xiaoxiao on the side dizzy: "500,000, 500 million, this is only a small part of the sale." My brother is too good at grabbing money. No, it's not that easy to grab money. ”

To have such a harvest was also beyond Qin Xuebing's expectations. The sale alone topped the proceeds of his treasure hunt, which was simply incredible. Of course. Qin Xuebing knew very well that it was pure luck to get this piece of jade, and it was almost impossible to replicate it.

However, even if he got this huge wealth, Qin Xuebing's state of mind did not change much, compared to those top rich people, what is this money? Even if the Arnott couple in front of them, their own money is probably nothing in their eyes.

Moreover, except for the part of this jadeite sold today and the promise to transfer a pendant to Chen Lao, Qin Xuebing was not ready to sell the rest of the jadeite. Of course, Qin Xuebing still has a lot of things to be excited about, and he got the glass imperial green, the glass cockscomb red, and the two-color jadeite all of a sudden, and the road to collection has made great progress, and he is a big step closer to the collection goal.

Of course, after making such a large fortune, Qin Xuebing naturally invited everyone to have a meal, and chose a nearby hotel to invite everyone to eat and drink, and in the end, Bernard and his wife asked for a box with the hotel and invited Qin Xuebing in.

"Mr. Qin, I think you should have guessed that we came all the way to find you." Bernard said that for him, the final cooperation with Qin Xuebing was reached.

"Mr. Bernard, first of all, don't ask me for help if it's too difficult." Qin Xuebing joked, in fact, since he saw the two of them for the first time, he could see from their faces that they had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

"Then Mr. Qin is going to be disappointed, this matter is very difficult, even impossible."

Bernard looked serious and said solemnly: "Originally, we didn't have any hope, but the unearthing of your country's treasure has made us see hope again, so we came here on purpose." ”

"You want to ask me for a treasure hunt?" Qin Xuebing frowned, after the treasure hunt in Myanmar, he liked the feeling of treasure hunting, although he was in the line of fire, it was indeed unforgettable.

But he is really not available now, the movie will start shooting in a few days, and he has to lead Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong to the set to help. When winter comes, you have to go into the desert to find another treasure, and you can't spare time to find another treasure.

"Yes, treasure hunting, looking for pirate treasures." Bernard said solemnly.

"Out to sea?" Qin Xuebing's brows furrowed even tighter, he was a little confused, if it was a treasure hunt at sea, he needed to find the treasure according to the coordinates, there was no need to look for him.

"Mr. Qin, I don't know if you've heard of the Blackbeard Pirates?" Helena asked again, this time targeting one of Blackbeard's pirates' many treasures.

Blackbeard, whose real name is Edward? Born in Bristol, England, with a bushy black beard, Titch was a henchman of the great pirate Captain Goth before breaking away from Goth to make his own living. In 1715, when he went to sea with the 40-gun "Vengeful Queen", he approached the British Royal Navy, which ordinary pirates did not dare to provoke.

His madness led to the name "Blackbeard Dyche" after the First World War, and the entire Atlantic coast was plunged into the horror that "even the Royal Navy could not ensure safety".

Just as people were panicked by the name Blackbeard, he suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving his pursuers in vain by the British navy. Two years later, when the story was forgotten, he crept up again. From then on, almost all the ships on the route between Virginia in the north and Honduras in the south were within his robbing range, and many merchant ships became his possession. After 18 months of frenzied looting, Blackbeard's loot piled up.

In May 1718, Blackbeard succeeded in the most daring raid of his entire pirate career: he led four pirate ships to blockade Charleston, the capital of South Carolina, ransacking the harbor and setting it on fire. In an instant, all the ships were in flames. During this robbery, he kidnapped a number of hostages and members of the municipal council, threatened to cut off the hostages' heads, and demanded a huge ransom from the city government in exchange for the hostages' freedom.

Under Blackbeard's brutal coercion, the city government had to comply with his demands. When Blackbeard's pirate fleet left the port of Charleston, it not only obtained a large amount of goods such as cotton and tobacco, but also extorted a ransom of 1.5 million pounds. This huge ransom is enough for him to enjoy for the rest of his life. So, he wanted to take the opportunity to break up and take the treasure to himself.

In order to get rid of his accomplices, he devised a poisonous plan to drive the "Queen Anne's Revenge" and two other ships to a remote island and deliberately run aground, so that his men could go ashore to inspect and repair, and he and 40 other henchmen took the opportunity to quickly leave the island by boat.

Two days later, Major Bonet of England accidentally arrived on the deserted island in his sailing ship, and rescued all the pirates who had been thrown off by Blackbeard.

At the time, while most of the South Carolina state councilors were intimidated by Blackbeard's obscenity, there was one exception: Virginia Governor Alexander? Sappswood. This man is determined to kill Blackbeard at all costs, and Blackbeard's ruthlessness towards his allies angered all the pirates who returned alive at the time. They contact a number of merchants and plantation owners who have been hurt by Blackbeard to find Sappswood and resolve to take revenge on him.

In the fall of 1718, when Sapperswood received a secret report that Blackbeard's flagship "Adventurer" was anchored in Oklacook Bay, he immediately dispatched the two warships to capture him. At this time, Blackbeard also got a secret report through his internal line, the governor's secretariat.

So the two sides started a fierce fight, which ended with the extermination of Blackbeard's pirate group and the killing of Blackbeard. A week later, Blackbeard's head was boiled, wrapped in silver leaf, and made into a wine glass. Later, it was used in many taverns until this silver-plated pirate head mysteriously disappeared off the East Coast of the United States. Why did this pirate head goblet mysteriously disappear later? It turned out that as soon as Blackbeard died, the treasure he buried became the target of many searches, and since he could not find it, some people wanted to find clues to his hidden treasure from his head.

In fact, the search for Blackbeard's treasure began right after he was killed. At that time, after Blackbeard was killed by Lieutenant Maynard, the soldiers of the Royal Navy searched all the places on Blackbeard's pirate ship where they could hide their treasure. But they searched and found only 145 bags of cocoa beans, 11 barrels of wine, 1 barrel of indigo and 1 bag of cotton, but no gold or silver jewelry.

Subsequently, countless treasure hunters and adventurers went to sea, frantically searching for treasures, and after finding nothing, the adventurers who wanted to go crazy for money took the heads, absurdly trying to find clues from the heads of the dead. But it turns out that Blackbeard's treasure is just a mystery.

"You don't want me to find Blackbeard's treasure, do you?" Qin Xuebing laughed, he had naturally heard Blackbeard's story, but he had no illusions about Blackbeard's treasure, just as Blackbeard himself had said before he died, only the devil and himself could find the location of his treasure.
