Early the next morning, Song Wenbin drove the van all the way from Semarang to Jakarta, and he and Sutina pretended to be departing passengers, but when they were close to the airport, Song Wenbin made a turn and went to the Mulia Hotel.

When Song Wenbin went to the hotel to rent a conference hall, Sutina proposed to go to the neighborhood to buy clothes, and Song Wenbin naturally agreed.

After Sutina came back, Song Wenbin was stunned by her temperament. In just one night, Sutina seemed to be a different person, she didn't wear her usual favorite tender and sexy clothes, this time she put on a black suit, and even wore rimless glasses on her face, and her white hair was tied in a bun around the back of her head, looking like she was five or six years older. Not only that, but her whole temperament has become extremely cold, like a female executive in the department who will take Song Wenbin to the office to talk at any time.

Seeing her standing in front of him like this, Song Wenbin was somewhat speechless.

He took out his phone and asked cautiously, "Do you want ..... The people who helped to bring down the Odyssey Company....? ”

Sutina took away her phone with a blank face, sat down at the other end of the conference room, and started to make a phone call. When she called, Song Wenbin thought about it and still sat next to her, but was separated from her by a seat.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes after the call, the door to the conference room opened. Two gray-haired old men, who were about sixty years old, walked in from outside the door, and the two old men were stunned when they saw the two young men in the conference room. They probably didn't expect the person they were going to meet on the phone to be so young.

The two old men in front of Song Wenbin's meeting were typical Americans, and knowing that they were the people he was looking for, he couldn't help but stand up and greet them with a smile, and he walked to the two enthusiastically, shook hands with them and introduced himself. Of course, when he introduced himself, he also used his fake identity in Indonesia.

The two old men were not impressed by Song Wenbin's enthusiastic attitude, and they did not introduce themselves, but after a simple handshake, they pulled out the chair and sat down, put their hands in their pockets, and looked like they were ready to leave at any time, and said: "You want to come to Odyssey Company, and now we are here." ”

Song Wenbin beckoned to Su Tina, Su Tina took out the document that Aconite gave them, walked to the two old men, Song Wenbin said: "This is the document we got by accident, please take a look." ”

With a suspicious look, the two old men opened the file and looked at it.

When the two read the document, Song Wenbin said: "Someone told us that as long as this document is handed over to the Indonesian government, it will be enough for you to interrupt your salvage work in Indonesia, do you think it is true or fake?" ”

Sutina coldly translated Song Wenbin's words.

After reading the document roughly, the two old men sneered disdainfully: "Young man, you probably don't know too much about this business." ”

"Oh? How so? Song Wenbin was interested.

One of the old men lit a pipe, crossed Erlang's legs and said: "We have this kind of work, there are almost no people who can get a regular salvage license, not to mention the time and procedures required for a regular salvage permit, and secondly, the attitude of the local government towards foreign salvage companies."

In fact, salvage documents are just a formality, there is no difference between formal and forged documents, whether they can be salvaged is not a word of the government, and the use of forged documents is just a handle that we sell to the local government. Only then will we be allowed to carry out salvage activities in Indonesia, so that if they are not satisfied, they can stop our salvage operations at any time on the grounds of documents, you know? ”

Song Wenbin showed a look of sudden realization and asked: "I thought you didn't have a good relationship with Indonesia, after all, when I was in the Java Trench before, I saw fighter jets coming to look for you." ”

"Are you sure the fighter plane is coming for us?"

The Odyssey executive said contemptuously, "Will you give them what you fished out?" ”

"Probably not." Song Wenbin said honestly.

"In Southeast Asia, what really depends is on the agreement we have privately agreed with the official, as long as we distribute some of the salvaged cultural relics to the local government, they will naturally let us take some of them, and even give us protection, after all, some cultural relics, they have no salvage technology at all, and it is not the turn of those monkeys to salvage if they rot on the bottom of the sea."

After a pause, the old man spat out a smoke ring and sneered disdainfully: "So, you are holding this kind of thing, just like you are here to threaten us Odyssey Company, don't you think you are a fool's dream?" ”

Song Wenbin laughed and shook his head, he picked up the document, dragged an ashtray over, took out a lighter, burned the contents of the document one by one, and said while burning: "The predecessor misunderstood me, I didn't think of threatening you with this kind of thing at all, I just think that reporting this method to the official is very indiscriminate, so I asked you out and burned this kind of thing in person to show my sincerity." ”

As the flames engulfed the photographs and papers in the document, the two men sent by the Odyssey Company frowned.

The old man who didn't smoke sat up straight, crossed his fingers and asked solemnly, "I heard you say on the phone, if we don't meet you, you will show our whereabouts and work goals to other treasure hunters, is what you said true?" ”

As he spoke, the old man who was smoking on the other side took out a necklace from his chest and played with it, which was a sharp cross. The cold light reflected in the light looked very dangerous.

Song Wenbin's heart sank, he shook his head slowly, and said: "Those are all words, I hope you can agree to meet the rhetoric, in fact, I came to you to really want to cooperate with you." ”

"As I said, Odyssey doesn't need any partners." The old man who played with the necklace said coldly: "With all due respect, the rats of the sea are not even qualified to follow us to eat leftovers, if I were you, I would not waste time, I would immediately offer a price, a price that is enough to keep you silent." ”

Song Wenbin looked at the old man's lofty posture, smiled slightly, bent down, took out a huge document a foot thick from his backpack, and slammed it on the table.

When the two old men saw the document, they were stunned for a moment and asked, "What is this?" ”

Song Wenbin didn't speak, took out a few copies from the document and pushed them over from the table.

The two old men picked up the papers, flipped through them, and soon, their faces changed. It was completely different from their attitude when they saw the evidence of the forged salvage certificate.

After reading a document, the two old men gathered together and chattered and whispered, while whispering, their eyes locked on Song Wenbin and the thick folder under Song Wenbin.

Song Wenbin patted the document in his hand and said with a smile: "Here is the data that records all the shipwrecks of the Dutch East India Company in the two hundred years from 1602 to 1799, is it enough to talk about it?" ”

The people of the Odyssey Company couldn't sit still, they all got up from their chairs in an uproar, stared at the folder under Song Wenbin's hand, and their eyes burst out with an amazing light, just like a hungry wolf seeing blood and a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.

"You..... Where did you get this stuff!? The old man asked loudly with his pipe.

Song Wenbin just stared at the two old men coldly, did not answer, and tapped his finger on the folder.

After staring for more than ten seconds, the two old men finally realized that they had lost their temper, and they quickly sat down, not only sat down, but even pulled the chair closer and leaned over to sit next to Song Wenbin. An old man took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said in a low voice, "I'm Greg. Steim, CEO of Odyssey Corporation, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Another old man who smoked a cigarette said, "I'm Tom Daweller, the Odyssey's manager, and you have piqued my interest." ”

"Hello, eh." Song Wenbin smiled warmly, and he said: "That's the case, two, this data is very valuable, I think as long as you are a discerning person, you can see the value contained in it." Actually, I don't want much, I just want to know, what is your company doing when you come to Indonesia? ”

"This ....."

Faced with Song Wenbin's question, the two old men looked at each other and hesitated.

"As long as you can tell us what you're doing here, we'll hand over this top-secret data to your company, which we bought in Europe at a great price, and I think it's a good deal anyway, isn't it? The information on the location of nearly 100 shipwrecks is enough for your company to salvage for ten years. ”

The longing in the eyes of the two old men was unquenchable, but they were still quite cautious, and Greg and Tom discussed it for a while, and finally Greg asked, "Is it you who followed us that day?" And the Chinese research team that went to the Java Trench later, are they all your people? ”

"Of course." Song Wenbin said.

"Fishing for the Van Balen?" Greg asked.

Song Wenbin nodded slowly.

"This document took you there?"

"Not bad."

"No wonder, I said no wonder you can locate that place, there is something indeed. Unfortunately, we had been surveyed by robots a year ago, and there was nothing. It has been salvaged. ”

"Who has salvaged it?" Song Wenbin immediately asked.

"Legendary Salvage Company." Greg said.

"Legendary Salvage Company?"

Song Wenbin felt as if he didn't have any impression of the company.

"Why didn't I hear about it?" He asked.

"It's normal that I haven't heard of it, and to be honest, the existence of this company is just a flash in the pan. There is no record of salvage, but their founder has some reputation. ”

Greg leaned back in his chair with a cigarette and fell into a deep memory: "I remember that it was 2004, when Odyssey was just getting started, and the top salvage team in the world at that time was Ronald Brown. The archaeological team led by Dr. Hatcher.

To say Ronald. Hatcher is also a very legendary figure, if to say that he did not start out as a professional submarine salvage professional, he was originally a doctor of archaeology from Oxford University, and when Nasser was in power, he made a fortune excavating antiquities in Egypt. Later, when the former Soviet Union attacked Afghanistan, he resold many cultural relics in Afghanistan. Some people say that during the Gulf War, he was still active in Yin Lak for a period of time. Of course, after the appearance of the Blackstone in '98, this guy suddenly began to turn to underwater archaeology, and established the legendary salvage company, which began to focus on salvage in Indonesia. ”

Song Wenbin pricked up his ears and listened, while Sutina was translating and holding a shorthand book.

Greg continued: "One thing that Legend did after its inception was to salvage Indonesia, which lasted from '99 to '04, I don't know what Ronald actually salvaged, but after '04, there were rumors in the industry. It is said that the ship of the legendary salvage company found the former Dutch shipwreck Van Balen, but the veracity of the rumors is impossible to verify, because in 2004, the legendary company encountered a tsunami in Indonesia and sank. ”

"Sunk?" Song Wenbin frowned.

"Yes, but in 13 years, we were approached by a shipwreck survivor in Los Angeles who told us that the legendary ship did not sink because of the tsunami, but because of an internal feud and someone deliberately ......blew up and sank the ship."

"Greg."

Tom Daviler, the project manager on the side, reminded him, and Greg woke up randomly and said, "I'm sorry, what I'm talking about has nothing to do with your problem." In short, according to the internal information obtained by Odyssey a few years ago, the flagship of the legendary company did salvage treasures, but the treasures that were once on the Dutch merchant ship Van Baren. That's why our company is searching for the legendary company's shipwreck in Indonesia. ”

"What's that flagship called?" Song Wenbin asked.

“the queen of poison。” Greg said.

Sutina translated expressionlessly, "Queen Boion." ”

But as soon as the translation was finished, Sutina's face changed.

She opened her mouth, ignoring Greg's subsequent words, completely untranslated.

Song Wenbin saw that his translation was stuck, so he couldn't help but elbow her and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Sutina slowly lowered her head and said a little sluggishly: "Queen Boion translates to the Queen of Poison. ”

"Queen of Poison, what's the matter, have you heard of it?"

"In plants, the queen of poison is the aconite."

Sutina said softly.
