Chapter 295: Illegal Salvage!
Zhu Yu carried an oxygen cylinder on his back and a speargun in his hand, and slowly dived towards the big hole.
Suddenly, six long tentacles stretched out from the big hole and wrapped around Zhu Yu!
"Whew!"
Zhu Yu was prepared, raised the speargun and shot at the center of the tentacle!
The octopus didn't have time to dodge, and was shot!
As soon as Zhu Yu retracted the rope, he pulled out the huge octopus with a tentacle of two meters long!
The octopus hand tentacle originally thought that it was a hand to grab Zhu Yu into the hole and eat it, but he didn't expect the other party's strength to be greater than it!
There were only two legged tentacles left in it, and he had no choice but to suck the boat boards on both sides, and played tug-of-war with Zhu Yu.
After Zhu Yu's body was transformed by energy, he was extremely powerful, and he also pulled out the two tentacles of the octopus, and at the same time brought out two boat boards.
The big hole, which was originally half a meter square, suddenly doubled, and the dust rolled in the seawater, Zhu Yu knew that now was not a good time to catch things, so he fought with the tentacles of the octopus while going upstream.
The octopus was shot by a speargun, and his combat effectiveness was much lower, but even so, it still wrapped Zhu Yu's upper body tightly, giving him a certain feeling of restraint.
Surfacing, Zhu Yu ignored the fact that the suction cup on the octopus's tentacle was sucking his muscles fiercely, and swam in the direction of the yacht.
On the deck, Chen Yonghao was surprised to see Zhu Yu swimming, and a tentacle appeared around him from time to time!
It wasn't until he came to him that he realized that it was a huge octopus, and he was relieved.
Chen Yonghao has been living by the sea all the year round, so he naturally knows how powerful this thing is, so he hurriedly pulled Zhu Yu up.
Cao Dalong, who had already come up earlier, also hurriedly came over to help, and the three of them worked together to drag the octopus down.
Zhu Yu looked at his body again, and it was already blue and purple, with round marks, like cupping.
"It's not a light injury!" Chen Yonghao said worriedly.
"It's okay, it'll be fine soon." Zhu Yu already felt that the part that was sucked was itching, the itch of the scar and flesh, he said with a smile:
"You can eat grilled octopus tonight!"
"No problem!" Cao Dalong said excitedly, "It's the first time I've seen such a big octopus!" You're about to get fine, right? ”
Zhu Yu said to Chen Yonghao:
"I found a shipwreck underwater......"
"Really?" When Chen Yonghao heard this, he grabbed Zhu Yu's arm excitedly, "Is it my ancestor's boat?" What's in there, and what do you see? ”
Zhu Yu didn't expect him to be so excited, patted him gently, signaled him not to be so excited, and then said:
"I don't know if the boat was sunk or had an accident, there is a big hole in the side, and this guy is inside."
He pointed to the octopus.
"But I guess it may not be your ancestor's ship, don't get your hopes up......"
Chen Yonghao's face was a little ugly when Zhu Yu said this.
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"I'm not telling you this to hit you, but to tell you that this body of water should be the waterway of ancient times, which is why there are shipwrecks.
Since it is a fairway, if your ancestor's ship sinks, it must be on this road, which means that we are looking for the right way. ”
Chen Yonghao listened to Zhu Yu's words, and his face looked better.
"Well, I'll go down and have a look, maybe I'll find something good from the boat, and then at least you won't have to live like this poor life!"
Chen Yonghao said with a strong smile:
"I won't divide it. It's your credit. I just hope to find the shipwreck of my ancestors as soon as possible......"
Zhu Yu interrupted him and said:
"Willingness takes effort to achieve, but life goes on. If you have this condition, why do you have to be so stubborn? Without you, I wouldn't have been able to find the wreck underneath this. ”
Chen Yonghao was about to say, but Zhu Yu interrupted him again:
"Don't worry, I'm a treasure hunter and I'm selfish. I won't give you a lot. ”
As soon as he said this, Chen Yonghao was embarrassed:
"I didn't mean that......"
"That's what I meant."
Zhu Yu laughed after speaking.
Feeling that his strength had been restored, he dived again to the wreck.
The churning waters are now calm again, and there are more fish in the vicinity. I don't know if it's because these fish already know that their natural enemy, the octopus, has been caught, so they are bold.
Now that the big hole can easily enter people, Zhu Yutianyan swept it, and then slowly swam in.
What came in was the cabin, this ship was not big, at least not as big as the starfish yacht they rented.
The cargo in the cabin had been thrown into disarray due to the sinking of the ship.
The goods were ten iron-clad wooden boxes.
Zhu Yu stepped forward and gently moved one of the boxes, and found that it was quite sturdy and not decayed.
The cabins were divided into several compartments, and it should have been known at that time that the watertight compartments were already known.
He forced open the existing hatch and entered a smaller cabin.
Inside, there are two boxes, one large and one small. These two boxes are iron boxes, and the patterns are very complicated, and what surprised Zhu Yu was that there were Chinese characters on them!
Obviously, this is the ship of the Chinese hundreds of years ago.
Or rather, the things that were robbed and bought by the Chinese?
The two chests, one containing gold cakes and the other containing silver cakes, were of irregular shape.
Zhu Yu guessed that this should be the gold and silver found in the local gold and silver mines, and finally minted privately.
So it's irregular.
Putting the two boxes into the space, Zhu Yu Tianyan scanned the ship again, and there was basically nothing else of value.
It is then returned to its original cargo hold.
The goods in these ten boxes are their harvest on the surface.
At least these things should be worth a lot of money.
Drag it up first.
After looking at the box, he regretted a little, he should have called Cao Dalong and the others together.
Forget it, let's take a bite first.
Zhu Yu put away the speargun, picked up the box, which was one meter eight long and eighty wide and eighty high, got out of the hole, and slowly floated upward.
With this box weighing dozens of kilograms, Zhu Yu's speed was not much slower.
He was mainly afraid that the boxes would fall apart. However, it was evident that the box was made of very good wood, and with the iron cladding on the corners, there was no sign of cracking until he swam to the yacht.
Chen Yonghao helped Zhu Yu drag the box up, Zhu Yu went to the deck, and said:
"Open it and see what's inside."
Chen Yonghao looked at it with some excitement, originally holding on to some hopes, but at this time it was shattered.
This is clearly not something from the Ming Dynasty.
He pointed to the pattern on the box and said:
"This kind of case is supposed to be a weapons case from the colonial period in Southeast Asia. It appeared about two or three hundred years ago...... Indeed, as you say, it is not the ship of my fathers. ”
"There wasn't a single bone on that boat." Zhu Yu said, "There are a lot of such goods. ”
At this time, Ran Jie and the three of them also gathered over and looked at the box curiously.
"Don't look at it, open it." Zhu Yu said, "It's locked, pick it." ”
"Be careful!" Chen Yonghao hurriedly said, "This lock is also an antiquity, and it is worth a lot of money!" ”
Only then did Zhu Yu remember Chen Yonghao's previous predicament, so he nodded and said:
"Then be careful......"
"And this box, I've seen it in a Chinese market, and it sells for thousands of dollars in one bite!"
Zhu Yu nodded and didn't speak again.
Ran Jie and Qin Fei carefully picked off the lock of the box, opened the box, and then saw the long strips of things wrapped tightly in oiled paper.
"It's ......"
Zhu Yu bent down to pick up one piece and opened the oil paper bag layer by layer, and several onlookers were very surprised, the outside of the oil paper bag was soaked through, and it didn't look very wet inside?
Don't......
When Zhu Yu took apart the last layer of oiled paper, revealing a long strip of things-
An antique flintlock pistol!
"Wow! It's quite new! Cao Dalong exclaimed in amazement, "It doesn't seem to have been corroded by the seawater yet." ”

There was indeed a film of water on it, but there was a layer of oil on the gun, and the sea water didn't play much of a role when it looked like the gun was wrapped in boxes and oiled paper.
"It's a breech-loading flintlock pistol!" Chen Yonghao took the gun from Zhu Yu's hand, looked at it carefully and said, "In the antique market here, such a gun will sell for at least three or five thousand dollars!" ”
This box is ten guns.
There are nine more boxes in the shipwreck below, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Not only did the money for chartering the boat come back, but it was also possible to make a small profit.
"Then who's going down with me? There are nine more boxes down there, let's fish them all up, and then go out and sell these things! ”
"I'll go!"
"I'll go!"
"I'll go too!"
Ran Jie and the three of them all spoke.
Zhu Yu nodded:
"I'll tell you the location, and I'll change it for a while."
Chen Yonghao didn't expect them to be so active, and now it's too late for him to say it, but Zhu Yu didn't let him go:
"Brother Chen, you should have a channel for these guns to shoot, right? The kind of secrecy. ”
"Yes, yes." Although Chen Yonghao is down, he still has some connections. The main reason for his downfall is that he is too persistent, otherwise, it would definitely be no problem to live a little moisturized.
"Okay, you check the guns on the boat, let's go down and get the boxes and get the money back first."
Chen Yonghao nodded and didn't say anything more.
It took an hour for all ten boxes to be fished up, and the next step was to eat an octopus feast.
The next day, the yacht returned home.
Return to the port of Jakarta.
As soon as the boat was tied, someone came from afar and said loudly to Chen Yonghao, who was about to get off the boat:
"Boss Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time! Finally got you there...... This is Mr. Zhu, right? Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! ”
The person who came was a middle-aged man who was about fifty years old, with a somewhat dark complexion, little hair left, the Mediterranean kind, and spoke with a three-point smile.
Almost 1.7 meters tall, wearing short-sleeved pants and a jade bracelet on his hand, this kind of person is often called a greasy uncle.
Chen Yonghao glanced at him, turned his head and introduced Zhu Yu:
"This is the iron boss, a second-generation Chinese. I used to be in Singapore, and I have only come to Indonesia in the past few years. The business is very miscellaneous, and the price he charged for the goods we got this time was relatively fair. ”
Zhu Yu nodded.
"Boss Tie, this is Mr. Zhu, my partner."
"Okay." Boss Tie smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu is young and promising!" Let's talk more in the future...... ......"
"Let's get on board and see." Zhu Yu said.
Hunting for treasures all year round, Zhu Yu knows that many countries have laws that prohibit private salvage.
So be careful.
Boss Tie got on the boat and entered the cabin, where Ran Jie and the others had already opened a box.
Iron Boss stepped forward, picked up an oiled paper bag and opened it layer by layer, and when he saw the gun, his eyes lit up!
"Good stuff!"
He carefully stroked the body of the gun up and down, as if caressing a woman's body, and then said again:
"The breech-loading flintlock pistol, this style should have been the standard weapon of the colonial army in the nineteenth century. Now it is almost impossible to find a brand new gun like this - I didn't expect it to be so well preserved in the sea! ”
He looked up at Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, how much is this? Make an offer, I'll take it all! ”
He could see that although Chen Yonghao was talking about collaborators, in fact, Zhu Yu was the main of the two people.
"Five thousand dollars a piece." Zhu Yu said, "I'll give you the box or something." ”
"The price is too high!" Boss Tie shook his head, "If the amount is large, it will take me a long time to withdraw the funds, and I can't make a deal of money." ”
"The market price, a seventy percent new gun has reached four thousand eight hundred dollars." Zhu Yu was not idle during this time on the ship, "Although I don't say ten percent of newcomers, I haven't used them!"
As soon as this gun appeared on the market, which of those collectors didn't want one? Five thousand dollars is already low. If Mr. Tie thinks that he can't make it, then think about it first, and let's find someone else. ”
Boss Tie didn't expect Zhu Yu to not even let him pay back the price!
Of course, he had to earn five thousand dollars, and he made a lot of money.
But the nature of a businessman makes him want to keep the price down.
After thinking about it, he rolled his eyes and said with some embarrassment:
"Mr. Zhu, Boss Chen, to be honest, this thing is really good. But after all, he didn't know where he came from, so I'm taking a risk. Do you think this is good, I will collect all four and a half thousand, and the less five hundred, how about being my hush money? ”
Chen Yonghao was angry all of a sudden:
"The surname is Tie, how can you do this? The rules of the industry are not to ask the source, do you know the bad rules? ”
"I'm telling the truth!" Boss Tie looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, and said with a hippie smile, "I'm also taking risks!" Even if I don't spread the word, there's no guarantee that anyone else will know about it......"
"You ......" Chen Yonghao was ashamed and angry, "I really didn't expect you to be so despicable......"
The person was found by him, but he didn't expect this kind of fork, and he didn't have the face to face Zhu Yu.
Ran Jie's three faces were gloomy, as long as Zhu Yu spoke, they would definitely be able to take down this surnamed Tie as soon as possible!
Zhu Yu sneered:
"Iron Boss, you think you've pinched us, don't you?"
"Where, where, ......" Boss Tie really had this in mind.
"Then you can try." Zhu Yu pointed outside, "You go and call someone from the relevant department now." I can also show you if your plan can succeed! ”
Boss Tie was frightened by Zhu Yu's words.
Immediately, he felt that Zhu Yu must be bluffing, if the other party has such a big face, how can he still cooperate with Chen Yonghao?
Besides, this surname Zhu is definitely familiar. This Chinese with status in Jakarta, he has already inquired clearly.
Therefore, he felt that Zhu Yu must be bluffing!
