At half past two in the afternoon, the blazing sun scorched the earth to its heart's content, as if it was about to steam out every trace of water.

But the geographical advantage of Farewell Island surrounded by the sea makes it not afraid of the blazing sun, and the gentle sea breeze brings vast water vapor, so that the temperature is still the same, but as long as it is not exposed to the sun, the sea breeze will not feel how bad the weather is.

In some places with abundant moisture, you will feel as if you are in a steamer in the summer, but places like Farewell Island will not because they are so close to the ocean, and the sea breeze blowing from the ocean is always cool.

Farewell to the town is so crowded that there are only two ferries a day from St. John's, at half past nine in the morning and at half past two in the afternoon.

Qin Shiou drove and waited on the dock in advance, and at 2:40, a passenger ship that was already a little old approached the dock, and a few scattered pedestrians walked down.

The town is only so big, and when you look down and don't look up, Qin Shiou has basically recognized all the people, so when a blonde young man with a small suitcase and big sunglasses walks down the dock, he knows that this is Billy Sturmer.

Billy Stermer also recognized Qin Shiou at a glance, there was such a Chinese on the dock, and it was easy to confirm his identity.

Qin Shiou walked up and stretched out his hand, shook Billy's palm vigorously and said, "I'm Qin, man, welcome to Farewell Island, I'm tired on the road." ”

Billy looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with a thick skeleton, short blonde hair, cut short, and erected one by one, as if his head was covered with steel thorns, which made him look aggressive.

He wore a North-Face T-shirt and Nike cropped pants, full of vigor and vitality, representing the youth of the United States, confident, rebellious, brave and domineering.

Of course, in the face of Qin Shiou, his recklessness and domineering can only be restrained. While shaking hands and taking off his glasses, Billy said excitedly: "No, no, it's okay on the road, it's just that the flight attendants on the Miami to St. John's plane are too bad, otherwise I think this trip will be very pleasant." ”

Qin Shiou smiled politely, and secretly said No wonder Winnie said that this guy is a famous playboy, and when he first met a stranger of his own, this guy talked about women, this is simply a humanoid horse.

These can't be said, Qin Shiou briefly introduced the farewell island and took Billy to the car.

See President One. Billy laughed, "You've got a good horse, man, my brother Greg has one too." The performance is great, and the workers in Detroit have created a great piece of art. ”

Generally speaking, Qin Shiou is not very welcome to a self-acquaintance like Billy, but Billy is a little strange.

As soon as I met him, I dared to hook up with Qin Shiou, laughing loudly and joking at will. But it didn't disgust Qin Shiou. On the contrary, because of his ease, the distance between the two was quickly shortened, as if he was born to be friends with people.

Soon after getting on the bus. Billy got straight to the point and said, "Qin." I'm here this time for two purposes, one is to help you solve the silver problem, and the other is to see the captain's diary of the Dun's Fish. I'd like to get it if I could. ”

Qin Shiou said: "This detailed talk, when I get to my home, talk slowly." ”

President No. 1 drove into the fishing grounds, and drove for a while before stopping in front of the villa, Billy smacked his lips and said, "Wow, man, your territory is so big, no wonder you don't care about the silver, if I have such a big fishing ground, even if King Solomon's treasure is in front of me, I won't care." ”

Qin Shiou said the award with a smile, he got out of the car, and the tiger and the leopard ran up from the door happily. Billy, who wanted to get himself acquainted, whistled at the two Labradors and shouted, "Come to me, lads, I like you." ”

His enthusiasm was deflated, and the tiger and leopard tilted their heads to look at him when they heard his whistle, then glanced at each other with disdain, and continued to wagging their tails behind Qin Shiou.

Billy laughed, he walked in front of Qin Shiou and wanted to enter the villa, but a round fat figure pounced out and hit his chest.

In this way, Billy couldn't guard against it, he hurriedly retreated, but stepped on the stairs and almost fell backwards, but fortunately, Qin Shiou helped him.

After standing up, Billy was a little shocked, looked at the fleshy short-haired guy in front of him with wide eyes, and said, "God, what is this?" Don't tell me that it's a bear, is there a bear that looks like this? ”

The bear stared at Billy innocently with dark eyes, and Dabai jumped onto his shoulder, and the two little ones blocked the way.

Being pounced on head-on by a half-human-tall brown bear, this shock is very strong, not to mention a bear, even if you are pounced by a soil dog in an unfamiliar environment, I am afraid that your legs will be scared to the point that your legs will be weak, so this will be a little jealous of Billy.

Qin Shiou explained that this was his pet, and Winnie walked out after him, beckoning to the bear and saying crisply: "Come to Mommy, good boy, don't scare the guests." ”

Winnie is still dressed in the bodomian dress and chiffon blouse, a perfect combination of lazy style and elegant temperament, and her appearance makes the villa courtyard more vivid.

Billy let out a 'wow' exclaim, then turned back to Qin Shiou and squeezed his left eye, and quietly gave a thumbs up.

Winnie greeted him with a polite smile, and then led the tiger, leopard, and bear into the house.

When she left, Billy said admiringly to Qin Shiou: "You are simply a winner in life, man, you are the envy of three billion men!" Is this your girlfriend? She's probably the best girl I've ever met! ”

In this way, all the way back, Billy and Qin Shiou came in familiarly, and when they entered the house, the two of them took a bottle of cold beer and sat at the door, and they cut directly to the topic.

Billy first introduced himself as a minority shareholder in Odyssey Marine Exploration, whose current general manager, Greg Sturmer, is his older brother who graduated from Columbia University with a degree in archaeology and now works as a diver for the company.

Billy first explained what to do with the silver, and said: "The Dunkle suddenly disappeared after a storm, and no one knew the exact location of its sinking at the time, so it has not been able to be salvaged, and now you have found it, is it in the deep sea or the shallow sea?" ”

Without waiting for Qin Shiou to answer, he first explained: "I mean, if it's in the deep sea, then I'm afraid I'll have to let our salvage ship come over to help you salvage silver, if it's in the shallow sea, obviously you can handle these yourself, I'll help you sell silver." ”

Qin Shiou said: "There's no trouble in dealing with silver, I just need to sell it to a precious metal company?" ”

Billy shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that simple, man, first of all, how pure is your silver?" Sell directly to precious metal companies and they won't give you a fair price; Secondly, the amount of silver you have is too large, and there is no clear proof of provenance, and they dare not accept it; Finally, even if you say you fished them from the sea, where did they come from? High seas? National waters? Private Fishery? Different sources have different ways to deal with them, beware of your government cheating you. ”

Qin Shiou laughed, he had consulted Auerbach before, and indeed, this batch of silver was too large to handle.

Seeing Qin Shiou smiling, Billy also laughed, and then said slyly: "If we help, it will be much simpler." We at Osside specialize in dealing with goods salvaged from the ocean, so we have our own channels for sales, and as long as you re-melt and purify your silver, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price.
