The fishing boats in the distance are getting closer and closer, and the shadow of the boat can already be seen with the naked eye. Wang Cheng finished his work on the submarine, used his personal terminal to enter the satellite monitoring network, checked his area, and kept zooming in on the image until he saw the sign on the body of the fishing boat, and then quickly climbed onto the mast of the smuggling boat...... Fortunately, the searchlight on the mast is one-piece packaged, and the bulb can still be used, Wang Cheng quickly pulled out the searchlight power cable, connected it to the battery of the personal terminal, and sent a light signal to the incoming ship unhurriedly: "Painter Wang wants to make a deal with you." ”

The fishing boat on the opposite side paused, began to reduce its speed, and turned its course towards the smuggling boat. Wang Cheng estimated that it would take at least an hour for the two ships to approach, so he quickly walked to the captain's room and began to search the captain's personal collection.

Wang Cheng opened the toolbox, took out a pair of sunglasses from the toolbox and put them on his face, put on a flying towel to cover his face below his nose, and used the explosives in the toolbox to blow up the captain's safe...... The safe had been flooded, the money inside was almost paste, and in the closet, a golden metal ball lay quietly there—that was what Krosu wanted.

In addition to this, there were two rusty pistols in the safe, several waterproof sealed boxes, and related nautical chronicles, charts, etc., the latter of which of course became paste.

Wang Cheng leaned down, poured the sundries in the toolbox onto the deck, and then unhurriedly loaded the contents of the safe into the toolbox. He didn't have time to open the sealed box to check, so he randomly stuffed the sealed box into the toolbox, and continued to look around leisurely with the toolbox.

The crew quarters were all clean, and in the corners were discarded guns thrown - rusty from the same corroded by the seawater...... Wang Cheng came to the staircase of the bottom cabin, looking at the rippling water under the staircase, at this time the submersible pump was still roaring, and the seawater was constantly pumped out of the bilge and discharged into the sea along the drainage pipe - unfortunately the horsepower of the submersible pump was too small, and it seemed to be a drop in the bucket.

Putting down the toolbox, Wang Cheng took off his coat, naked, and plunged into the bilge water in one breath...... Wang Cheng stopped at the door of several cabins, only to see that many containers in the warehouse had exploded, and some of the containers were empty, but most of the containers were still littered with goods - only three container doors were intact, and only three.

After checking the bilge, Wang Cheng returned to the deck, when he put on his clothes again, put on the toolbox, the ship had anchored a nautical mile away, a motorboat was leaving the fishing boat, carefully looked, there were three people sitting on the motorboat, and the person standing at the bow of the boat was dressed as a captain, wearing a seafarer's hat and a captain's uniform.

The motorboat quickly circled the smuggling boat, and the captain straightened up and shouted, "Where is Painter Wang?" ”

Wang Cheng was about to open his mouth to answer, "I am", but suddenly remembered that his appearance had changed, he closed his mouth and looked at the other party carefully instead - the captain opposite was the captain of the Fujian fishing boat Chen Tao who sent him to sea in the first place. He waved his hand and shouted, "Captain Chen, I'm the only one on the boat, come here,"

The motorboat approached, Chen Tao boarded the boat with a companion, and the other stayed on the motorboat, after he got on the boat, he looked very puzzled: "What are you doing with so many cylinders tied around the hull...... Are you really a Wang painter? Oh, it doesn't sound like it, it doesn't look like it is tall - you show your face and show me. ”

Wang Cheng stretched out his hands: "Boss Chen, I just don't want you to see what I look like now, so I'm dressed like this." Don't embarrass me. If you don't want to do this business, you can leave now. ”

Chen Tao nodded: "Ah yes, when I made an agreement with Painter Wang, only me and him knew." The route I chose was only known to my crew and Painter Wang...... I believe you, what's wrong with the ship? ”

Wang Cheng pointed to his feet: "I plan to give you this ship." ”

"I don't want it", Chen Tao pretended to be stupid and stunned for a long time just now, and then blurted out his words: "This kind of 500-ton 'big fly' can't be used by our fishermen, it is used for smuggling, hehe, you just salvaged it, the boat is not decent, and it can't be sailed at all." Wang Cheng made a gesture of surprise: "When you first got on the boat, you kept asking what the cylinders around the hull were for, and now, you know that it was just salvaged, who taught you?" ”

Chen Tao smiled but didn't answer, he tilted his head, looked around at the sea, and asked, "What is on board?" ”

Wang Cheng replied: "I don't know, my salvage boat has little horsepower, please bring your ship over and use the pump on your ship to help me pump out the water in the bilge." ”

Chen Tao opened his mouth wide: "You really just came up salvaged, no wonder the pontoon hasn't been dismantled yet...... Strange, where is your salvage ship? ”

Wang Cheng shrugged: "Boss Chen, give me a clear word, can you help with this?" ”

Chen Tao looked at Wang Cheng vigilantly, I don't know what hint he made, the young man who got on the boat with him immediately walked to the cabin, Wang Cheng had no intention of stopping it, after a while, the young man returned, and shouted loudly: "Uncle, he is really the only one on the boat, the water in the bilge has overflowed to the staircase, I took a look at it, and I can't see clearly." ”

Chen Tao nodded, took out the walkie-talkie he had brought with him, and notified the fishing boat to come over.

With the pumps of the high-powered fishing boats, the water in the bilge is quickly drained. Chen Tao began to follow Wang Cheng around, when the three of them entered the captain's room, Chen Tao found two rusty pistols thrown on the ground, he stared at Wang Cheng nervously, the young man who accompanied Chen Tao immediately rushed over, grabbed the two guns in his hands to watch, during this period, Wang Cheng stayed in place and did not interfere, he shrugged his shoulders and reminded: "This gun can't go off, it's too rusty." ”

The young man immediately turned to Chen Tao: "Uncle, I stayed, wiped it clean, and it was not bad to be a toy." ”

Chen Tao looked at the pile of pulp on the ground, and then looked at Wang Cheng's toolbox that he never left his hand, and said, "Let's go to the bilge to have a look." ”

There was no electricity on the ship, the bilge was dark, and the three people took a flashlight around the bilge, and Wang Cheng counted them one by one: "About 100 tons of blister copper ingots, this kind of blister copper ingots, 30,000 to 45,000 per ton, so these copper ingots are worth about 4 million, Captain Chen, are you willing to make a deal?" ”

Chen Tao thought for a moment and shook his head gently: "This is about the same value as the full load of fish on my boat - if I catch a fish with high economic value, I can sell it for 10,000 yuan per ton." ”

Wang Cheng turned the flashlight to several other containers, the doors of these containers have been blown open, the contents of the contents have been soaked in seawater, and the contents of the cabin gush out of the container mouth with the receding seawater, spread all over the ground, however, these things are not of high value, but they are spices native to Africa, such as cloves, **, myrrh, and carit fruit, after soaking in seawater, it is almost useless.

"I only hope to ship these three intact containers back to China now, and if you can do it, I will give you the copper ingots on board for nothing."

Chen Tao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Does this ship pierce your hands?" ”

Wang Cheng chuckled: "You also know that it is a smuggler, so it will not register the ship anywhere - it is blank now." ”

Chen Tao immediately asked: "This ship also belongs to me?" ”

Wang Cheng replied: "Of course." ”

"Then I can tow this ship back, and the cargo will still be loaded on your ship, and I won't have to occupy my space...... Can you wait here for a few days, when I return from fishing, and then tow your boat away? ”

Wang Cheng smiled: "Captain Chen, you can't be too greedy, although you said that the value of copper ingots is about the same as the fish you caught, but to be honest, it depends on luck whether you can catch fish with high economic value, and if you want to sell a boatload of fish, you don't know how much time it will take." But this batch of copper ingots is different, mark 3 million, find a small smelter, and you can immediately sell it for cash, and this hull is what you earn for nothing, just by dismantling the steel of the hull and selling it as scrap, you can probably make a small profit. If you can change the engine, you can still sell a boat for money. ”

Chen Tao paused and asked tentatively: "What are the contents of those three containers, it can't be contraband such as drugs and arms." ”

Wang Cheng walked to the three sealed containers: "We can inspect the goods...... How did you come up with arms? ”

Chen Tao replied: "I was a soldier, and this ship is full of bullet holes, and it must have gone through a fierce battle." ”

Wang Cheng didn't say anything, he picked up a rotten rifle thrown on the ground, and simply smashed the door lock with the butt of the rifle - this action was actually a demonstration to Chen Tao, and sure enough, Chen Tao's pupils shrank, and he already felt the warning from Wang Cheng.

The container door opened.

The container is well sealed, with only a slight amount of water ingress in the box. It was filled with sealed transparent inflatable air bags, through which you could see that they contained a whole piece of ivory.

Chen Tao took a breath of cold air: "So many, my God, how many elephants have you killed?" ”

Wang Cheng shrugged: "I didn't do it...... A larger ivory weighs about 70 kilograms and can sell for $20,000. Last year, 24 tonnes of smuggled ivory were seized in Africa – that's just the number of poached animals seized, and the three containers were all filled with ivory, which should be around 400 roots, which means that 200 elephants were killed.

The three containers were filled with not only ivory, but also the other two containers were filled with some sundries, such as gross garnet from Africa and Tanzanite from Tanzania - in the "Titanic" movie, the "Star of the Sea" worn by the heroine and movie star Winslet is the "Tanzanite Blue" gemstone.

"Tanzanite blue" is not a sapphire, sapphire is often a common name for blue corundum, and tanzanite is zoisite, which is a semi-precious stone. It is also less expensive than sapphire and is easier to work with. It can be cut into a variety of shapes, and because it is usually larger, the resulting jewelry is particularly eye-catching.

Since the broadcast of "Titanic", the market price of tanzanite has continued to rise. In the Yanjing Enzo jewelry store, the price is almost 10,000 yuan per carat - of course, this is only the domestic price, after the movie was released, the international market price of Tanzanite blue did not rise much, and the jewelry industry is very profitable, the store can sell 10,000 yuan per carat, Wang Chengruo sold these raw materials to the store, the purchase price can reach 200 yuan per carat, he snickered.

After counting the goods in the three containers and writing the list of goods in duplicate, Wang Cheng sealed the three containers again, and when he handed the manifest to Chen Tao, Wang Cheng tilted his head and looked at Chen Tao for a long time, and the hand holding the manifest hovered in the air, not letting go for a long time......
