Chapter 478: Shipwreck Treasure (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
Half past nine in the evening.
Ji Sheng finally rushed back to Haitong.
He asked Zheng Jian to drive the car to the garage of his villa, and then changed his clothes, and then went to Shen Xia's house.
Ji Sheng was really curious, what kind of precious antique was Shen Xia's mother looking for when she was looking for herself?
In his impression, Shen Xia's family is very rich.
How rich is it?
Shen Xia's coin collection alone is worth three or five billion.
And that's part of the collection.
If you extrapolate all of Shen Xia's collections according to the coin collection, Ji Sheng is estimated to be worth at least a billion yuan.
However, even so, according to Shen Xia, her collection is far less than that of her mother.
You must know that the total value of the items collected by Mr. Ma Weidu, the No. 1 collector in China, is only 10 billion, and Shen Xia's mother may not be as high as the total value of Ma Weidu's collection, but it is estimated that it is not far off.
There is no doubt about your own financial resources to be able to collect so many valuable things, because if you don't have that much money, let alone buy collectibles, the annual maintenance cost of those things you collect is a lot of expenses.
Since he is so rich, he must have a lot of channels to acquire antiques.
And now you want to find yourself?
Ji Sheng felt that there was only one possibility, that is, the antique that Shen Xia's mother was looking for was too precious, so precious that money could not buy it.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ring the doorbell.
After a few rings, Shen Xia's voice came from inside, "The door is open, come in."
Ji Sheng pushed open the door of the villa and walked in, and went straight to the door of the house.
He found that the door had already been opened, and Shen Xia was there.
"Baby, don't you think I have one?" Ji Sheng stepped forward with a hippie smile and hugged Shen Xia's waist.
Shen Xia's face was slightly red, and she slapped his claws away, "My mother is here, pay attention to your image."
Ji Sheng looked sideways and found that there was a woman who looked thirty-four or five years old sitting on the sofa in the living room, this woman looked like Shen Xia at eight points, but the years gave her a mature and dignified gentle temperament, obviously a person in her fifties, but she felt very young.
He knew that this was his future mother-in-law, and when he thought of his "frivolous" behavior towards Shen Xia just now, Ji Sheng became a little restrained, and hurriedly said, "Hello, aunt."
Mother Shen smiled and nodded elegantly, "Xiao Ji, hello, come and sit."
"Change your shoes first, I'll finally mop the floor clean." Shen Xia said fiercely.
As she spoke, she took out the slippers she had bought for Ji Sheng from the shoe cabinet.
Mother Shen stared at it and laughed thoughtfully again.
Because Shen's mother was here, Ji Sheng didn't dare to be as profligate as usual, and obediently changed his slippers and walked to the sofa.
"Sit down." Shen's mother pointed to the single sofa next to her, and then turned her head sideways to her daughter and said, "Xiaoxia, go make tea."
Shen Xia was very arrogant in front of Shen's father, but she was surprisingly well-behaved in front of her seemingly tender mother, "Okay."
With that, Shen Xia walked inside.
Ji Sheng looked at his girlfriend's back, and then sat down cautiously.
Mother Shen didn't speak, she sat there and looked at Ji Sheng with her eyes.
Ji Sheng was a bit on pins and needles by her, and he finally knew why many boys were so nervous when they saw their mother-in-law for the first time. ….
Fortunately, this kind of scrutiny didn't last long, and Shen's mother half-jokingly said, "Xiaoxia is usually very rude, right? I can't stand it sometimes, she's a scourge."
Poof, did you say that about your daughter's mother?
Ji Sheng was amused, and his nervousness went away a lot, "It's okay, Xiaoxia is fine."
"As long as you think it's good." Shen's mother said like a homely chatter; "She, her mouth is more poisonous, my father and I tried to introduce her to a boy blind date, but every time a man is run away by her poisonous tongue, I thought she wouldn't be able to marry in this life."
At this time, Shen Xia walked out of it with two cups of tea, and when she heard this, she said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, you
What nonsense, last time you tricked me back, you didn't say it was a blind date, just let me sit down with the king and talk, of course I spoke freely, and he wasn't scared away by me, okay, and he often sent messages afterwards, but I just ignored him."
"Did the man ask you out later?" Mother Shen asked rhetorically.
Shen Xia walked over to the coffee table and snorted, "No."
Mother Shen smiled and said, "Then you still said that you didn't scare people away?"
Shen Xia was speechless.
Ji Sheng saw his girlfriend deflated for the first time, and secretly had fun in his heart, and sure enough, her mother had to treat her.
Then the three of them sat there and chatted for a while, and Shen's mother talked about Shen Xia's previous troubles, which caused Shen Xia to express her dissatisfaction again and again.
However, Ji Sheng and Shen's mother have become a lot closer because of these chatters, at least they are not nervous.
No, it took half an hour to chat, and Shen's mother brought the topic to the topic, "I heard Xiaoxia say that you opened a collectibles company?"
"Well, just getting started." Ji Sheng did so much in the eighties, he naturally understood the meaning of other people's words, Shen's mother should be talking about business, he took the initiative to ask, "Auntie, I heard Xiaoxia say that you have something to find me?"
"Yes." Mother Shen still didn't say anything immediately, but asked rhetorically, "Since you are in the collectibles business, you should have heard that there are many shipwrecks in the sea, and there are many treasures in them?"
Ji Sheng is naturally clear about this, such as the "Nanhai No. 1" salvaged in 07, which is said to contain more than 180,000 pieces of cultural relics, and according to estimates, the total value is as high as 300 billion US dollars.
Of course, he didn't know if it was true, but it was reported on the news.
Ji Sheng thought about it and replied, "I know."
"A shipwreck, ten tombs, and the treasures of shipwrecks have always been the project that countless treasure hunters are passionate about." Mother Shen said slowly: "There are too many shipwrecks in the sea, and there are too many valuable things, such as the San Jose shipwreck, one of the top ten shipwreck treasures salvaged in 2015, was found near the coast of Cartagena, it is estimated that the gold, silver and jewelry on the wreck are worth more than 17 billion US dollars, as well as the famous Nanhai No. 1, the Spanish frigate that sank in 1804 salvaged in 2007, etc., each wreck contains treasures worth at least one billion US dollars. Will you make a fortune all at once?"
Well?
That's right!
Shipwreck Treasure!
Ji Sheng suddenly thought of a quick way to make a fortune in his heart, which he had never considered before, and now that he was mentioned by Shen's mother, he suddenly paid attention to it. ….
In fact, many shipwreck treasures were discovered decades or even hundreds of years ago, but why did many shipwreck treasures not be salvaged until the last decade or two?
There is an important reason for this, and that is about shipwreck surveys.
For example, the Nanhai No. 1, a treasure ship that had been silent at the bottom of the sea for nearly 800 years, actually had traces as early as 1987, when an employee of the British Ocean Exploration Company saw a news in the newspaper about an East India ship that was wrecked in the waters near Dongguang in China in the 18th century, and there was a lot of property on board.
Then the British ocean exploration team that got the news got in touch with the Chinese side and joined forces to salvage in the nearby waters, but after the salvage, the Chinese side found that many of the things salvaged were Chinese antiques, so they refused to cooperate with the British exploration team after that, and then after more than ten years of surveying, it was determined in 2007 that the Nanhai No. 1 was salvaged.
Just imagine, it will take more than ten years to search for the treasure of a shipwreck, and even some of the more difficult to find will take decades to survey, so how much will it cost?
Naturally, Ji Sheng hadn't thought about these before.
But after listening to Shen's mother say these things today, Ji Sheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, many shipwreck treasures have only been salvaged in recent years, that is to say, as long as all the shipwrecks salvaged from 19*** to this year, in fact, he doesn't need to spend too much time to survey, because someone has already completed the huge work of surveying for him, and all he has to do is to use the Internet or other ways to obtain the shipwreck treasure
Location.
Once you can get the *** position, and then get some people to salvage it, you will be able to harvest endless wealth!
Right!
It's a way to get rich!
Ji Sheng couldn't help but get excited, but considering that Shen's mother was talking about business now, he didn't want to be too distracted to think about these things, so he decided to listen to these deeds and wait until he went back to think about them.
He replied to Shen's mother first, "This is a sure thing."
"Hmm." Mother Shen asked rhetorically, "Does the Awa Maru know?"
Ji Sheng was stunned for a moment, "The Japanese stupid ship that was sunk by the U.S. military in the Niushan Sea in World War II?"
"It's the 10,000-ton ship." Mother Shen first replied to his words, and then said, "Then do you know how many treasures were loaded in this ship at that time?"
I don't know about this Ji Sheng, "I don't know."
Shen Xia sneered and said, "You still make collectibles, I don't know this?" She continued to talk to herself, but she didn't notice that Shen's mother was glaring at her, "It is said that there are a large number of war materials in that ship, forty tons of gold, and the skulls of the people of the capital, in addition to this, there are many countless treasures that Ri Ben has collected from China and Southeast Asian countries."
"Xiao Ji is not omniscient and omnipotent, isn't it normal to not know?" Mother Shen said something for Ji Sheng, and then continued: "As early as the end of the 70s, my country organized a salvage, during which many cultural relics and treasures were discovered, but unfortunately, whether it was 40 tons of gold or the skulls of the people in the capital, they were missing."
Ji Shengxin said that it had been salvaged at the end of the seventies, so I had no choice, but he still let Shen's mother continue without interrupting. ….
"Some people say that forty tons of gold is a rumor, and some people say that it is a disguise released by the Japanese stupid people, in fact, the real gold has long been transported back to the Japanese stupid by other means, of course, some people say that the forty tons of gold are indeed on the ship, but the captain activated the self-detonation device before the ship sank, and the container containing the gold was destroyed and scattered on the bottom of the sea, so the gold was not found."
Mother Shen's tone became solemn when she said this, "But I received a shocking news not long ago, that is, the skull of the Beijing Ape Man is actually in the hands of some foreigners, because the location of the wreck was also told to us by the beautiful country, in fact, someone salvaged it in advance."
Ji Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Do you mean forty tons of gold in the hands of those foreigners?"
"I'm not sure, because it's hard to say if there were forty tons of gold on board." Shen Mu shook her head, "But the news of the capital ape-man skull can be confirmed."
Ji Sheng probably understood what Shen's mother was looking for him.
Sure enough, Shen Mu looked over and said with a serious expression: "Xiao Ji, not only Xiaoxia said that you have great powers, but even many big collectors are full of praise for you, saying that you have the ability to get a lot of treasures, and the Beijing ape skull is a precious and abnormal national treasure in our country, I want to ask you...... Do you have the ability to bring it back to Huaxia on the premise that I provide clues?"
Ji Sheng didn't answer the question immediately, his so-called "vast supernatural powers" are based on time and space travel, and he doesn't really have the ability to get a lot of treasures from time and space in modern society.
If it was before, regarding Shen's mother's request, Ji Sheng would definitely refuse without saying a word, because he didn't have the ability.
But since he obtained magic skills such as teleportation and perception enhancement, as long as he provided enough clues, he did have a way to use some dishonorable means to obtain things, but Ji Sheng, as a person who had received law-abiding education since he was a child, never thought of using those dishonorable means.
Since he can make a fortune by abiding by the law, why would he take a risk?
This is an important reason why Ji Sheng does not use dishonorable means, he doesn't want to expose too much and put himself in.
However, now that Shen's mother said that the skull of the Beijing ape man is indeed one of the most precious cultural relics in my country, Ji Sheng, as a patriot, naturally hopes to find it back.
In addition, he can be regarded as hearing the meaning of Shen's mother's words, such a precious cultural relic is required to be recovered, I am afraid that Shen's mother alone can get this idea, that is, if he completes this matter, there will definitely be a lot of benefits.
Under such a premise, Ji Sheng went from "refusing" to hesitating.
"Can I think about it?" Ji Sheng asked.
Shen's mother was overjoyed when she heard what he said, because Ji Sheng said "think about it" instead of "refuse", what does this mean? On behalf of Ji Sheng, he has enough confidence in his ability, "You can think about it slowly, I can also tell you the clues now, whether you agree or not, it's fine, but if you can successfully bring this cultural relic back and donate it to the National Museum, then I can promise...... Well, I wish you all the best in your career."
She said this very vaguely.
But Ji Sheng understood what he meant, and he still said firmly, "I still have to think about it." ….
"Okay, then I'll tell you the clue first." Mother Shen didn't seem to attach so much importance to these clues, and said bluntly: "At present, there are three clues, one is said to be in the Rockefeller family, another is said to be in the Morgan family, and one clue is said to be in the Riben Mitsui family, we really can't tell which one of them is, but it must be in one of them, but they don't take it out, and we can't ask them to return it through normal channels."
After saying the three clues, Mother Shen said earnestly, "Xiao Ji, you think about it carefully, if you refuse, it's okay."
Ji Sheng knew that it was not appropriate to stay longer, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay." Mother Shen nodded.
Ji Sheng got up, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Xiaoxia, send Xiaoji." Mother Shen instructed.
Shen Xia also stood up, "Okay."
The two came to the door one after the other, Ji Sheng changed his shoes, and then went out without saying a word.
Outside.
Shen Xia followed, blinked, and said, "Tomorrow, you just promise her casually, anyway, she doesn't just ask you to do it alone, and if you agree, it doesn't mean that you have to find it."
Ji Sheng couldn't help sweating, and said in his heart that you sold your mother quickly, he turned his head to look over and smiled, "I can't fool my future mother-in-law, I have to think about it."
"I didn't say I was going to marry you." Shen Xia snorted arrogantly.
Ji Sheng stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Who will you marry if you don't marry me?" As he spoke, he didn't give Shen Xia a chance to speak, he asked a key question, "Before, you said that I would give me all my heart when I did something?"
Speaking of this, Shen Xia's face turned red like an apple, "I...... I ......."
Ji Sheng didn't say anything and looked at her quietly.
Shen Xia twisted the good cow, and then took a sip, "You old pervert, you don't have a healthy mind all day long."
Ji Sheng laughed and retorted, "What's unhealthy about having children? If I were to say that to you, the human race would have been extinct a long time ago, so what do you have to do for me before you are willing to give yourself to me?"
Shen Xia was a little panicked, she was just a delaying tactic before, and she never thought that Ji Sheng would be aggressive, but today she "really wronged" Ji Sheng, and she was in a state of psychological loss.
Not to mention, she really thought about it, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, "Didn't my mother just ask you for your help in finding the capital ape human skull, if you can find me, I will give you my whole heart."
"What if I can't find it?" Ji Sheng said speechlessly: "Our country has been looking for this thing for decades and hasn't found it, aren't you embarrassed."
"If you can't find it, I'll wait until the wedding day." Shen Xia is the eldest daughter of Huanghua, and she is still a little afraid of this kind of thing, so she can delay it.
Ji Sheng's eyes lit up and said, "Do you mean to agree to marry me?"
Shen Xia was speechless and said, "You really know how to hit snakes with sticks."
Ji Sheng rolled his eyes, "Who asked you to make such a difficult request first, if we don't get married, I may not be able to complete that request in my lifetime, you can make another request."
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." Shen Xia thought about it carefully, and then said solemnly, "If only we could talk about the year
In the meantime, I will give myself to you unconditionally."
"Why a year?"
"The time is too short, who knows if you are just playing with me, a year can almost give us both a general understanding, know whether the two sides are suitable or not, I don't want to regret it, because if I identify you, I hope to be together for a lifetime."
Shen Xia said this paragraph seriously.
Ji Sheng was silent after listening, he knew that Shen Xia's attitude towards feelings was very pure, and after a while, he reached out and stroked Shen Xia's cheek, and also looked at it with serious eyes, and said sonorously: "We will be together for a lifetime."
"Whew." Shen Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay, you can only touch me for a year, you can't play tricks halfway."
Ji Sheng smiled, "What if I find the skull of the capital ape?"
Shen Xia pursed her lips and said, "If I can find you, even if you have the ability, I admit it and let you arch."
Your sister!
What about when I am a pig?
Ji Sheng really couldn't laugh or cry by her poisonous tongue, forget it, she has this temperament, and when the buddies really find the skull of the ape man in the capital, see if you are still poisonous or not.
Well, let's go back and collect the salvage records of the last twenty or thirty years, if you can really find one or two complete information about the shipwreck treasures that can be salvaged in the eighties, then buddy is really going to send it!.
Then smile
