Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Treasure of the Shipwreck is in Hand

PS: The thank you message is written at the bottom. (At the suggestion of a friend, it was written in the underground 'Author's Words'!)

After Li Ye saw the news published by the National Daily the next day, he silently liked it, and then he didn't show up on the domestic Internet.

After this incident, the little girl was not affected, and she still took the little parrot to hold a 'bird language' training class on the island all day long.

In the middle, I also showed Li Ye her fans on Facebook once, and there were more than one million. It's full of videos of her interaction with the parrot.

Li Ye perfunctory a few words about his sister, praised her casually, and went about his own business.

How could he have time to care about these things now, George suddenly reported that the treasure of the 'Golden Fleet' had been moved, and asked Li Ye to go over and confirm it, which surprised Li Ye.

After calculating the time, it is estimated that it is about the same.

Now the treasure has all been moved to a few rooms on the second floor of the castle. In the beginning, he still looked at it every day, and after a long time, he got tired and came here occasionally.

Carter also came over and was leading someone to sort out the treasures.

This batch of treasures is not as much as recorded, some on the Internet say it is worth 5 billion US dollars, and some say it is worth 2 billion US dollars.

Carter gave him an estimate, at most about 800 million US dollars. This made Li Ye feel a little lagging behind.

"Boss, I guess there may be some treasure scattered in the sea. And this is estimated, and the estimate we actually got is not 800 million. Carter explained to Li Ye.

"Okay, I'm picking it up anyway. Li Ye nodded, expressing relief, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Have you found a buyer?" or what do you plan to do with this batch of treasures?"

Carter listened to the sadness on his face, shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”

When Li Ye saw this, he was a little puzzled, and Carter hurriedly explained to him the Tao here.

It turns out that there is a "International Salvage Law" or something about the ownership of the shipwreck treasure.

Li Ye listened with a confused expression. In the end, it was concluded that, according to Carter, if the treasure was taken out and sold, there was a more than 99 percent chance that it would be recovered by Spain.

Someone said, this is a hundred or two hundred years old, isn't it whoever finds it?

It's really not like this, generally speaking, whoever finds who's is this kind of thing, only limited to commercial ships, if you are sure that you find this batch of shipwreck treasures, its wreck belongs to the state, for example, this wreck is a warship, then you still honestly hide it, otherwise take it out, it is very likely to be recovered by the country to which the wreck belongs.

Among them, the most typical example is the recovery of 17 tons of shipwreck treasure salvaged by the Spanish company Odyssey, whose shipwreck treasure is estimated to be worth about 500 million US dollars.

This is also the Odyssey company's own death, salvaged and salvaged, and held a press conference or something.

The results were discovered by the Spanish, who were salvaged from the frigate 'Mercedes'. This time the Spanish government climaxed.

Several ministries, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Law, the Embassy in Mi and the National Department of Archaeology, have joined forces to recover the shipwreck.

Forget it, they also hired a team of lawyers who specialize in handling international disputes in the United States, which they used to go to court against Odyssey.

In the end, it took five full years to polish this shipwreck treasure worth 500 million US dollars.

The consequence of this incident was that in the following years, whenever there was any trouble, Spain pounced on it and first investigated whether it was a shipwreck in their country.

After all, Spain was the dominant maritime power in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Hearing this, Li Ye had a painful expression on his face. After a long day of work, these treasures can't be sold?

Li Ye estimated that if the Spanish government knew that it had the treasures of the 'Golden Fleet' in its hands, it would be 100% desperate to recover these treasures.

After all, when he took over the island, the Spanish government wanted to pay for the island, but he refused. Coupled with the historical reasons of Vieques, the two sides have come to an end.

Li Ye asked Carter depressedly what he thought. Carter said with a smile: "Boss, those treasures with obvious marks, we can't just get them, those jewelry without signs and marks, just take them out and sell them." ”

Hearing this, Li Ye's eyes lit up.

In the time that followed, Carter led the company to divide the treasure into two parts.

Some of them can be sold on the market. This part of the gemstones and jewelry accounts for the majority.

The other part cannot be sold in the market, and if you want to make a sale, you can only sell it in the black market. This part is mainly gold and silver coins, but fortunately, this batch of ancient coins is different from the treasure found by the Odyssey Company, and his batch is mainly gold coins, and there are few silver coins.

In the end, Li Ye took the list that Carter counted and found that only one-third of the treasures that could be sold were available.

"Okay, you can contact Christie's auction house and ask them if they would like to help with the auction, remember, don't take it out all at once, take it little by little. Li Ye said to Carter, the last sentence is equivalent to his vain, Carter knows the Tao here better than him.

As for those gold and British coins that cannot be sold publicly, Li Ye does not plan to sell them on the black market, after all, it is estimated that they can only be sold at the price of gold in the black market.

He is not so generous, he sends warmth to those people, anyway, he is going to sell it for gold, and simply exchange all these gold coins and gold jewelry that cannot be sold into system money.

This time, Li Ye's system money directly exceeded one million.

Looking at the information of the system, Li Ye suddenly felt that he was a little local tyrant.

[Island location: Vieques, Caribbean Sea.

Island area: 132 square kilometers.

Lord: Li Ye.

Money: 1025304.

Population of the territory: 863.

Buildings: 1 Castle of the Lords.

Resources: Three mining vehicles.

Island Military Level: Level 2.

Received: Received.

Binding: Bind. 】

The decrease is due to the fact that most of the people on the island have gone back for Christmas and have not yet returned.

This batch of gold directly brought him more than 900,000 yuan in monetary income, plus the tens of thousands of money he had saved before, and the money in the system exceeded one million for the first time.

For this reason, Li Ye made a special meal of beef dumplings in the evening to celebrate.

When the little girl was eating dumplings, she looked at Li Ye, who was smirking twice when she was fine, with a strange face on her face, and she didn't know what kind of nerves he had. After eating the dumplings, he ran back to his room in fright.

As soon as the Christmas holidays were over, Christie's auction house came, and it turned out that it was the Mark who brought the right one.

After the two met, Li Ye hugged him. Mark also brought a special gift, saying it was a Christmas gift.

Li Ye took it with a strange face, Christmas is over, what Christmas gift do you give?

What Li Ye received was a watch, and according to the price of his eyesight, this watch was only about 10,000 US dollars.

The little girl received a bracelet, thanked her very happily, and accepted the gift.

"Mark, thank you again for the 'Christmas present'. Li Ye bit the words 'Christmas gift' heavily and teased him. He knew why Mark was giving this little gift.

It's just that this excuse is too perfunctory!

Mark listened, didn't care, smiled and got to work.
