Chapter 115: Picking on Girlfriends
Si Qi laughed and said, "It's just that there are a lot of magic!" But Madame forbade us to tell outsiders. ”
Qiao Yuying stared at Si Qi's expression for a while, the expression left by the little girl who was less than fourteen years old did not seem to be fake, it seemed that she was not lying, Wang Chenhao had a lot of intriguing magic.
Qiao Yuying's eyes rolled, revealing a little cunning, and suddenly smiled: "Becoming a first-class member at such a young age, isn't it just relying on Li Hongzhang's protection?" What's magical? ”
"Not really!" Si Qi suddenly protested: "My lord is on the throne by his ability!" If it weren't for my lord's efforts to turn the tide during the war the year before last, the imperial court would have let the Orientals occupy it long ago. ”
Qiao Yuying didn't seem to know about this, and suddenly said, "Is there anything else?" ”
Si Qi looked like he had been defeated, and asked in disbelief, "Miss Qiao, you don't even know this, do you?" Our lord is a big hero! ”
"Heroes? Or is it big? Qiao Yuying shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Si Qi suddenly sighed speechlessly and said, "If you let the master know that there are still people in the world who don't know that he is a big hero, it is estimated that he will feel very shameless." ”
Qiao Yuying smiled: "Don't you know that there is a saying that a businesswoman doesn't know the hatred of the country?" I never ask about national affairs, and I don't want to know. However, I also admire big heroes, why don't you tell me about it? The province was discovered by Lord Wang, I don't know his heroic deeds! ”
After all, Si Qi was young and ignorant of the world, so he was quickly surrounded by Qiao Yuying's words, and as soon as the conversation box opened, he quickly told Qiao Yuying many of Wang Chenhao's stories that seemed magical to her. Some of these things can be understood with Qiao Yuying's IQ, but most of them are indeed full of magic as Si Qi said, and even Qiao Yuying, who thinks she is extremely smart, is difficult to guess.
"How could such a strange thing happen? Who the hell is he? Qiao Yuying's heart was full of questions, and invisibly, Wang Chenhao added another layer of mystery in her heart.
At noon, Wang Chenhao felt hungry, so he ended the search plan. In the past few hours, Wang Chenhao has discovered several more sunken ships one after another. Two of them are the Ming Dynasty Yingtan wreck, which was accidentally discovered in 1997 when Waters was searching for the Blackstone, and the Spanish Marjeni shipwreck discovered in 1998. However, the location of the two wrecks is in the deep sea, and the water depth is more than 130 meters, and the current pump submersible can only cope with diving operations within 80 meters. Similarly, Wang Chenhao also marked it and waited for the diving equipment to be upgraded in the future before salvage.
The food of the salvage team is good, and today I am fishing for good things, so Wang Chenhao will have a meal with his teammates. When it comes to happy things, Wang Chenhao is happy with them, and the whole team is happy.
That night, all the porcelain in the pile was salvaged. Another group of divers went down and began to clean up several of the adjacent compartments.
The next morning, the Hebrew condevoy arrived. Due to the large cargo compartment of the Hebrew, it is large enough to carry hundreds of thousands of antique artifacts, and the cabin above can be guarded by a large number of soldiers on duty, so the safety is higher. Therefore, Wang Chenhao ordered most of the antique artifacts to be transferred to the Hebrew for placement.
Later in the day, the cleanup of the Blackstone was nearing completion. Finally, 10 pieces of gold ware were unearthed, and the exquisiteness of the gold ware was comparable to the gold and silver ware unearthed in the Tang Dynasty cellar in Hejia Village, Xi'an in 1970. Among them, the eight-sided Hu people are 10 centimeters high, which is slightly larger than the size of the two eight-sided Hu people gold cups unearthed in Hejia Village. There are also 24 pieces of silverware, 18 silver collars and 30 bronze mirrors, each weighing 2 kilograms. The 1-meter-high West Asian style long-handled high-legged pot has a slender and peculiar shape, and has never been found in products with the same shape in China. Other scattered antiques may be personal belongings of the ship's crew members, including two glass bottles, a lacquer plate (remnant), ivory game equipment (which appears to be used for amusement), and inkstones and ink (remnants).
The porcelain salvaged from the Blackstone shipwreck includes Tang blue and white plates, Tang blue and white holding pots, bowls, pillows, Xing kiln plates, white glaze green color and Yue kiln porcelain and Changsha kiln porcelain. The most precious are three pieces of Tang blue and white porcelain, which is the earliest and most complete blue and white porcelain found in China so far, and Qiao Yuying estimates that these three pieces of Tang blue and white porcelain alone are worth five million taels.
Before dinner, Qiao Yuying and several other appraisers identified all the antique artifacts out of the water, and Li Guodong led people to count and check the price of all the artifacts out of the water, and finally reported to Wang Chenhao The total number is 82,163 pieces, the highest one is Tang blue and white porcelain worth five million taels, and the total value of all is estimated to be about 100 million taels.
At the dinner that night, Wang Chenhao announced that all team members would receive a reward of 5,000 taels of silver. And Wang Chenhao's personal guards and two companies of security troops also received an additional subsidy of 1,000 taels of silver. For a while, everyone in the entire salvage team was extremely excited, and some even shouted long live Wang Chenhao with the strength of wine.
"Your Excellency is so generous!"
Qiao Yuying slowly came to Wang Chenhao and looked at him with a smile, but her expression was a little complicated. Since talking to Wang Chenhao's maid Siqi, she has learned a lot of strange things about Wang Chenhao. She was very curious, the man in front of her rewarded more than a million taels of silver with a word, and he was even more generous than the emperor.
Wang Chenhao turned around and saw that it was Qiao Yuying, so he smiled and said, "Listening to Miss Qiao's tone, it seems that I must be thinking in my heart if I am too generous to do this?" ”
Qiao Yuying smiled lightly and said, "The adult's style of doing things is whimsical, and it is difficult for people to guess and ponder. However, Yuying really hopes to be able to read minds and see what the adults are thinking. ”
Wang Chenhao took a step forward, smiled mysteriously at her, and said in a low voice: "The current results are just the tip of the iceberg, compared to the more obtained later, this reward is nothing?" ”
Qiao Yuying's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but get closer and asked quietly: "Yuying has a question that she has always wanted to ask, how did the adults know about so many shipwreck treasures?" ”
Although Wang Chenhao drank some wine, his mind was very clear. The Qiao Yuying in front of her has become a leader in the appraisal industry at a young age, which is inseparable from her wisdom and wisdom. Apparently, she was already beginning to suspect by now.
Wang Chenhao looked at her delicate and lovely face, and thought to himself, no matter how smart you are, you can't guess it. However, at this moment, when he was close to Qiao Yuying, Wang Chenhao suddenly found that the Jiangnan lady in front of him was very feminine, especially her big eyes that seemed to be able to speak, which were even more annoying. Seeing her expectant look with bright eyes and bright teeth, Wang Chenhao suddenly had an idea to tease her.
"I'll tell you—" Wang Chenhao deliberately pulled a long voice, and while talking to whet her appetite, he slowly approached her cheek.
"What?" Qiao Yuying was attracted by Wang Chenhao's words, and waited intently to listen to the following, and unconsciously probed over.
"Secret." When Wang Chenhao said these two words slowly, he had already smelled the faint body fragrance emanating from Qiao Yuying's body. could have taken the opportunity to touch her face, but at the last moment Wang Chenhao gave up, he thought that women in this era would not allow him to joke like this.
Qiao Yuying woke up when she heard the word secret, and then she felt that Wang Chenhao was deliberately playing tricks on her. Qiao Yuying thought of Wang Chenhao's intimate movements when he spoke to her just now, and her pretty face suddenly turned crimson, glared at Wang Chenhao with disgust, and stomped her feet and said, "My lord, you-"
Wang Chenhao's purpose of teasing her had been achieved, and she slipped into the crowd at this moment, leaving only a few loud laughs echoing.
Qiao Yuying didn't dare to rush in to find Wang Chenhao for revenge because of her daughter's body, so she had to stomp her feet unluckily and leave in a huff.
That night, Wang Chenhao ordered the fleet to sail to Batavia, and he was ready to repeat his old tricks, taking the opportunity of visiting the Dutch East Indies Governor, to also hold a charity auction and charity purchase in Batavia, and sell the salvaged antiques for cash.
Under the night sky, the stars are shining. The ship broke the waves, and the water rolled and rattled.
Wang Chenhao couldn't sleep, standing alone on the top deck of the Maria, quietly looking at the sky and the sea, thinking about what he had gained along the way.
The smooth seizure of the two sunken ships Nanhai No. 1 and the Blackstone invisibly increased Wang Chenhao's funds by 300 million taels. How to keep this huge amount of money? How do I cash out? How does it work? And how can you make the most of it? How can you match your current identity? These questions came one after another, and he had to think about them comprehensively.
According to Wang Chenhao's calculations, his journey to Russia is equivalent to a round-the-world trip, during which he will pass through the current major powers in the world. He planned to auction off the salvaged antiques in the developed cities of these countries, and by the time he arrived in St. Petersburg, they should have been cashed out. Looking at the world, there will be no more than 50 people with such a huge amount of money, and Wang Chenhao will become an international billionaire in one fell swoop, which is something he never dared to imagine.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Wang Chenhao's mind, if this money was used to overthrow the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, it should be enough!
