Chapter 191: Awa Maru

Everyone still doesn't know that there are more than two treasures in Zhang Yaohua's hands.

Of course, Zhang Yaohua did not dare to expose it at one time. The rest, more on that later.

"Curator Bai, you also know that I am a mixed ocean."

Curator Bai nodded: "What's wrong?" ”

"So, what if I find a wreck?" This problem has always bothered Zhang Yaohua.

"Ahh Did you find a shipwreck? Where is it? ”

Curator Bai was surprised and immediately asked.

Just after asking, Director Bai seemed to understand what Zhang Yaohua wanted to do.

"Do you want to salvage it yourself? In principle, it is not allowed, and the law stipulates that this condition is not possible. ”

Tang Lao said: "You can set up a company, and then cooperate with the relevant departments to salvage the cultural relics and earn the cost of discovery and salvage." ”

Curator Bai nodded: "That's no problem. ”

Private individuals are not allowed to salvage, but if you cooperate with the relevant departments, it will not be a big problem.

Just like private mining is not allowed, but it is not absolute, you can cooperate with the mining state-owned enterprises and get the mining rights, then you can do it.

You know, even the Leshan Giant Buddha can be bought in these years, what else is impossible?

It's just a matter of thinking about it.

As long as the cost is high, what does it matter if the cultural relics are wanted or not? You don't plan to collect it yourself anyway.

"What about the high seas?" Zhang Yaohua asked again.

"On the high seas? At present, our country does not have much control over what is caught on the high seas, and it is your ability to catch it. Curator Bai gave the answer.

To be honest, if you can't manage everything in your own territorial waters, how can you have the heart to manage the high seas?

With this sentence, Zhang Yaohua was relieved.

Within the territory of his own country, he can provide information and earn some information fees. On the high seas, he intends to salvage it himself.

Taking the initiative to abandon the shipwreck in the territory is not a bad thing, it is too troublesome. That kind of salvage is not only to salvage cultural relics, but also to salvage shipwrecks in many cases.

For Zhang Yaohua, it is really troublesome. It's difficult, costly, and a waste of time.

The ones on the high seas are not so particular, Zhang Yaohua only needs the treasures on the sunken ship, and the shipwreck itself is too lazy to care.

"In this case, I can provide information on the sunken ship in our territorial waters, and I will not interfere in the salvage, how much can I pay? If it's 180,000, then it doesn't make much sense. ”

Director Bai couldn't help but laugh: "How much more do you want for information fees?" There are some sunken ships, there is no salvage value, how much do you expect people to give you? ”

108,000 can't even look down on it.

He was going to laugh angrily.

"If there is no salvage value, I don't bother to pay attention to it. Is it reasonable for me to pay five percent of the value of the wreck? ”

Five percent isn't too much, right?

The shipwreck was worth one million, and he only asked for fifty thousand yuan.

Seeing Zhang Yaohua say this, Director Bai and they all guessed that this guy must have found a terrible shipwreck.

Donald spoke for Zhang Yaohua: "Five percent is really not much. ”

"You have to provide so much information, what about the salvage?" Curator Bai still felt high.

Salvage is the most expensive.

For some large-scale salvage, the salvage fee is tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of yuan. For example, the famous Nanhai No. 1 cost more than 300 million yuan in salvage fees alone.

Of course, the total value of Nanhai No. 1 is very high, rumored to be more than 100 billion.

Zhang Yaohua has a different opinion: "It's not easy to detect!" Looking for a needle in a haystack makes no difference. ”

"I'll fight for you! Now you can say, what kind of shipwreck, right? ”

Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"I don't know?"

"Yes! I don't know the identity of the wreck, only that there are many treasures on the wreck, including gold, it is estimated that it is a small day cargo ship, and those treasures are not known where to be looted. Zhang Yaohua said.

The shipwreck of the little day?

Everyone suddenly became interested.

You must know that during World War II, Xiaori plundered a lot of wealth from various countries, among which our country had the most. In addition, Southeast Asian countries are also suffering.

Donald suddenly spoke: "I remember, we salvaged the Awa Maru and didn't find gold, right?" Will it be ......?"

The Awa Maru is famous, a 10,000-ton ship that was loaded with looted goods, and it is said that there are 40 tons of gold.

What is the concept of 40 tons of gold?

Almost the amount of gold reserves of some small countries.

It is rumored that there is also a priceless fossil skull of the Bei*Beijing Man.

However, the Awa Maru was salvaged by our country, and not a single trace of gold was found, and no fossil skull was found. At that time, I was very disappointed, after all, it took so much manpower, material and financial resources to salvage.

Later, some people speculated that Xiao Ri temporarily transferred more valuable treasures such as gold to other ships.

Director Bai thought it was unlikely, but he still asked Zhang Yaohua: "Xiao Zhang, what is the approximate location of the shipwreck?" ”

"Near the confluence of the South China Sea and the East China Sea."

Before signing the contract, Zhang Yaohua could not disclose the specific location.

Curator Bai understood this and said, "There will be a special person to contact you soon." ”

You have to sign the contract as soon as possible, determine the location, and send someone to check the real situation.

If it is really the valuables lost by the Awa Maru, it can be said that it is another major underwater discovery and salvage after Nankai No. 1.

The salvage value is immeasurable.

The gold on it, Director Bai doesn't care much, the gold is salvage, it has little to do with the museum, and it is likely to be charged into the treasury.

What he really cared about was the fossilized skull, one of the world's most important cultural heritages.

Director Bai came out and quickly got married. Zhang Yaohua will receive 5% of the value of the shipwreck's information fee.

Originally, Director Bai planned to return to Beijing with the large army, but the news provided by Zhang Yaohua suddenly made him itch, so he simply stayed.

Someone from the relevant department came with a contract.

Also included are people who are underwater archaeologists, as well as specialized salvage teams. After the introduction, Zhang Yaohua knew that it was from the Provincial Salvage Bureau. It can be seen that the above also attaches great importance to the information about the shipwreck.

The salvage of the Awa Maru was unsatisfactory.

If I find those treasures this time, I will make up for my regrets.

Back then, the salvage of the Awa Maru was actually mainly due to the gold. At that time, our country was relatively poor, and dozens of tons of gold should not be underestimated. Nowadays, dozens of tons of gold are nothing to China.

Zhang Yaohua signed before officially announcing the location of the wreck.

The people from the salvage bureau didn't say a word, and immediately went to investigate.

In just two days, there was good news. The wreck is a two-thousand-ton cargo ship, which is indeed a small day, and there are a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, and even antique artifacts in the ship.

"Is there a fossilized skull?" Curator Bai hurriedly asked, he was most concerned about that treasure.

"The skull has it, but I don't know if it's a fossil." The man replied to him.

There were dozens of skeletons on board, and there were, of course, skulls.
