244. Get on board
Yu Xiaobo saw that I was vigilant, and hurriedly smiled and said to me: "Xiao Chen, don't be afraid, this is not the first time we have gone out to sea to fish for treasure under the guise of a fishing boat. ”
"Really?" Uncle Mei also squinted and asked.
"Of course it's true, why am I lying to you?" Yu Xiaobo said with a smile, "Don't worry, the relevant departments here are not very strong in investigating and dealing with our business, unlike in China, where we have to crack down on anything that has a little bit to do with cultural relics, and there is no risk in doing the business of fishing for treasures here." If you really have to worry, you might as well worry about whether you can come up safely if you go down. ”
Listening to Yu Xiaobo's words, I have the bottom in my heart, because the sixth uncle also said the same thing before, rather than worrying about being caught, it is better to worry about not coming to sea.
At this time, Yu Xiaobo said: "I heard Mr. Song say that the two of them are good at one top and one in water, so it must be no problem for the two of them to go into the water." ”
Uncle Mei waved his hand and said modestly: "It's not so good, our two usually fish for corpses in the river, to be honest, this is the first time to deal with the sea, in front of the sea, I don't dare to say anything about good water." ”
Yu Xiaobo nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, yes, yes, don't be too careless, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”
Soon we arrived on the fishing boat on the ferry, and immediately two strong men with dark complexion and muscular arms came to help pull us.
These two people are supposed to be Thai, and I heard Yu Xiaobo speak Thai with them, and they didn't communicate with us, or even look at us.
After getting on the boat, Yu Xiaobo took us to the cabin first.
I asked him, "Brother Bo, how many salvage crews are there on this trip?" ”
Yu Xiaobo thought for a while and said, "It should be about twenty, I didn't ask in detail, anyway, it's about twenty every time, sometimes more, sometimes less." ”
I heard Uncle Six say that out of the ten salvage crews, only six can come back alive, and according to this ratio, eight of these twenty people may stay at the bottom of the sea.
I asked again, "By the way, Bogo, apart from us, are there any people from our country among these people?" ”
Yu Xiaobo immediately said: "I really don't know how many Chinese people there are, after all, I didn't recruit them, I'm just a salvage man, but just now I met a Chinese person, and he is a big hand." ”
"Big hands?" I became interested and asked curiously, "What kind of big hand?" ”
Yu Xiaobo lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This eldest brother is from a professional class, and he used to specialize in dry underwater salvage in China, and a treasure ship of the Song Dynasty was found in Guangdong a few years ago, have you heard of it?" ”
Uncle Mei and I both shook our heads and said in unison that we don't know.
Yu Xiaobo whispered: "About 80 years, 90 years, a shipwreck was found in the waters of Guangdong, this sunken ship has countless treasures, just by the nearby fishermen caught countless antiques, later discovered by the state, named - Nanhai No. 1. ”
I hadn't heard of this ship at that time, and I didn't know if what Yu Xiaobo said was true or false, but after returning to China, I asked Jiang Yongguang about it, and I gradually learned about this famous shipwreck of the Song Dynasty.
Nanhai No. 1, not to mention in China, is the premier treasure ship in the world!
At that time, this ship was a treasure ship used for trade communication between the Song Dynasty and Southeast Asian countries, but it should have encountered bad weather in the process of going to sea and finally sank at sea.
With a length of more than 40 meters, a height of 4 meters, and a displacement of 800 tons, this ship was undoubtedly a giant ship in the world at that time!
Since '00, the archaeological community has been working on the salvage of the shipwreck, and it was not until '07 that the wreck was completely recovered and a museum was built.
According to the appraisal of surveyors, there are more than 180,000 historical artifacts on this ship, and one of the small porcelain bowls that was previously salvaged has been sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in overseas auctions!
Therefore, the value of the cultural relics on this ship can be said to be incalculable, and this ship is more valuable than the cultural relics unearthed in dozens of ancient tombs combined!
Far from it.
Because I hadn't heard of this ship at that time, I didn't realize what kind of big hand the salvage officer who specialized in salvaging this ship was, but I just heard Yu Xiaobo say that this big brother is very experienced, let us follow him down when the time comes, and maybe we can come back safely.
Uncle Mei couldn't help but ask, how did a salvage man who specializes in salvaging shipwrecks in China come abroad?
Yu Xiaobo said with a smile: "As the saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth." As for the melons and dates given by the domestic archaeological team, it is not enough to stuff the teeth, and a trip here is at least an income of 50,000 yuan. ”
Talking about this, Yu Xiaobo asked us again, saying, "Have you heard of the two ways of giving remuneration here?" ”
Uncle Mei and I nodded again and again, saying that we had heard.
Either you will get a dead salary of 50,000 yuan, or you will pick one from the salvaged treasure and take it away.
Yu Xiaobo nodded, and then asked, "Then which one are you going to choose?" 50,000 yuan? Or baby? ”
I immediately said: "That must be a baby, I heard from the sixth uncle, this ship has a history of six or seven hundred years, and it is the treasure ship of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, so any treasure on this ship is more than 50,000 yuan, right?" ”
Yu Xiaobo smiled and said, "That's right, you're right, there are more than 50,000 yuan for any treasure on this ship, and the general salvage staff will choose to take away a treasure, and almost no one chooses 50,000 yuan." ”
"Yes, no one is stupid." Uncle Mei nodded and said.
Yu Xiaobo also said: "In fact, the owner deliberately made the rules in this way, so that the salvage staff can work harder, because the salvage staff choose one from the treasure they salvage themselves, so the more treasures they salvage, the better the treasure they catch, and the greater the chance of making money themselves, so that everyone will definitely work harder." ”
After being explained by Yu Xiaobo, I suddenly realized, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this person who made the rules is really a person who understands people's hearts.
Uncle Mei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The person who can start this business must be a character, and what people think is really reasonable." ”
At this time, Yu Xiaobo smiled strangely and said, "But although most people will choose to take a treasure, there are still people who want to die for their wages." ”
"Why? Isn't that stupid? I couldn't help but ask.
Yu Xiaobo shook his head and said, "Hehe, Xiao Chen, to be honest, how many of the people who can come to this ship are fools?" Do you think those who get dead wages are really stupid? ”
