Chapter 107: Awa Maru

The new medicine was taken away halfway, and Liu Tao also figured it out, and if you don't feel the strength, it's all in vain if you want to do anything. Although Xia Mingyu promised to give Liu Tao some help at the right time, the help was only limited to that. This incident is a good lesson, since you don't want me to make a drug this cake, I want to move this cake, since you took away my new drug, I am developing one, but the time is not now.

Liu Tao knows very well that this time the development of new drugs cannot be placed in other laboratories, even if they are funded and built with the help of other universities. Longhai Pharmaceutical is already setting up its own laboratory, and the recruitment of talents is also in progress. However, Liu Tao does not want to develop new drugs for the time being, so as not to target him with a heart. Since you are robbing it openly, then do the business that you can't rob, cultural relics. Liu Tao has decided to be the largest cultural relics dealer in the whole of China.

The ancient tombs in China cannot be dug by themselves, which does not mean that foreign tombs cannot be dug by themselves. Liu Tao can't dig now doesn't mean that he will never be able to dig, not to mention that he still has the alpha in his hand, a cheating artifact against the sky, and when the time comes, he is developing several planes, and countless cultural relics will continue to appear. Even if you want to grab these relics, you can't grab them. What's more, there are now three deep-sea robots on the bottom of the sea, salvaging the treasures of shipwrecks on the seabed day and night, and there are many cultural relics.

Liu Tao asked Zhang Qian to deal with the issue of setting up a cultural relics company, and soon the relevant procedures were completed, although Huaguo was very strict in controlling cultural relics, but also allowed some cultural relics to appear on the market. Liu Tao wants to fish for the treasures under the sea of the world, and the country's pass must be passed. Liu Tao did not hesitate at this point, and his efforts were always reported. Liu Tao got a tacit approval, and what Liu Tao needed to pay was to give at least half of the treasures belonging to Huaguo to Huaguo and five percent of the treasures of foreign shipwrecks to be donated free of charge.

Liu Tao originally planned to give ten percentage points, but he didn't expect Xia Mingyu to only need five percentage points, the reason was that Liu Tao's salvage was not easy, and more importantly, he didn't think that Liu Tao could salvage any treasures at all. But then Xia Mingyu said that his decision was the most unsuccessful decision in his life for more than ten years, because he never thought that this guy would empty the world's seabed.

If you want to sell the salvaged treasures, you naturally need a channel, and that is the auction house. However, this time Liu Tao does not plan to set up an auction house by himself, after all, it is difficult for you to obtain a large number of benefits in a short period of time without connections. Liu Tao is aiming at Hongsheng this time, and Hongsheng's reputation has been greatly improved in the industry after the last auction, so it is not a pity that there is a ready-made auction house.

Liu Tao bought shares in the form of cultural relics and got 20% of the equity of Hongsheng Auction House, which is also Li Qiming's gamble. He gambled that Liu Tao had a lot of precious cultural relics in his hands, and 20% of the equity of Hongsheng Auction House was only about 50 million RMB according to the market price. However, after Liu Tao became a shareholder, this number was obviously many times higher than the original.

"How's the shipwreck salvage?"

"Boss, the result is beyond your imagination, but our robot has not been able to pick out every treasure from the coral reef, and now all the treasures are mixed with the coral reef." Alpha said to Liu Tao as he called up a satellite map of the seabed, which showed that two robots responsible for salvaging the shipwreck were continuously digging up piles of treasures mixed in the dirt at the bottom of the sea.

"Let the robot drop some shipwrecked treasures around here and let our fleet go over and salvage them." Liu Tao said to Alpha, using the salvage fleet to cover the deep-sea operation robot. If there is only a constant appearance of treasures and no news of the salvage fleet, it will obviously make people suspect that there are already a lot of doubts on their bodies, and there is no need to continue to increase.

On the third day, the salvage fleet came back with the news that they had salvaged a sunken ship near the border in the South China Sea. At that time, it also shocked the news a little, but the small shipwreck worth less than one billion yuan obviously couldn't attract any ideas from the outside world, and Liu Tao's attention was now all on the Awa Maru that Alpha had just discovered in the Niushan Sea.

The Awa Maru was salvaged once by the Chinese government, but no valuable artifacts were found, and the skull of the "Peking Man" they most wanted to find was still missing. This time, Alpha had the deep-sea robot almost turn over the nearby seas, and finally found the shipwreck artifact that disappeared from history and followed the Addo Maru.

"Antiquities dealer, what do you want to give me?" Xia Mingyu is now very accustomed to Liu Tao's phone calls, and during this time, Liu Tao handed over many precious cultural relics to the country for the sake of his cultural relics company. This finally made Liu Tao's reputation as a cultural relics dealer confirmed, and now many experts and scholars will take the initiative to contact Liu Tao to see if he has any cultural relics that have disappeared in history.

"Awamaru, do you want it?"

"Awa Maru? What Awa Maru? Xia Mingyu obviously didn't understand what Liu Tao meant, but he reacted instantly after a second: "You mean you salvaged the cultural relics that disappeared on the Awa Maru?" ”

"Yes, I salvaged 40 tons of gold, 12 tons of silver, 150,000 carats of diamonds, and about 40 boxes of cultural relics."

"A month! How did you manage to salvage everything on Awa Maru in a month? Xia Mingyu gasped deeply, Huaguo spent nearly three years salvage, and it can almost be said that he found nothing, and Liu Tao completely salvaged the Awa Maru in just one month.

"Secret, I haven't counted these artifacts, and they're still in the mud and sand. I know that the state has been looking for the skulls of the disappeared Pekingese, and you can bring someone to identify it. ”

"Okay, location." Xia Mingyu said to Liu Tao simply and clearly, and Liu Tao also gave him a coordinate of the South Island Province, Xia Mingyu rushed there with dozens of people that day, and in the face of the mountains of sediment Xia Mingyu immediately ordered people to clean up the sediment and find the things inside.

"I want to tell you first, the last time it was not that we didn't want to help you suppress, but that we couldn't suppress it, I hope you don't have any knots." This is the first time the two have met since the last time the new medicine was stolen, Xia Mingyu explained to Liu Tao with a cigarette.

"I'm just an ordinary person, so naturally I can't deal with them."

Xia Mingyu extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said to Liu Tao with a smile: "I have now changed from a director of the Security Bureau to the country's largest cultural relics dealer, and you still say that you are an ordinary person." The above knows that you are angry in your heart, so this time the person above spoke, if you can find the skull, you will be given a bonus of 200 million, and this time the things dug up except for the skull, the rest of the things belong to you. ”

"Really?" Liu Tao's hand also shook involuntarily, there were forty tons of gold and 150,000 carats of diamonds, how much did it cost, not to mention that there were more than forty boxes of jewelry and cultural relics inside.

Xia Mingyu nodded heavily and took out a document for Liu Tao to sign. Liu Tao picked up the document and sure enough, as Xia Mingyu said, he found the skull, and the entire shipwreck treasure belonged to Liu Tao alone, if Liu Tao was not found, he could only get half of it, and all the cultural relics had to be handed over. Liu Tao signed it without any hesitation, and Alpha told Liu Tao very clearly that there was something similar to a skull in this pile of mud and sand.

"I will donate the cultural relics dug up this time to the state for free, and other things will also be sold to the country, so you can prepare money." Liu Tao smiled and said to Xia Mingyu: "If the people above are interested in turning the National Museum into a similar museum to the British Museum, the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum, squeezing into the forefront of the world, I can help you." ”

"Really?"

"Believe it or not, but I don't want what happened last time."
