Chapter 11: Quarrels
Lu Yuan laughed: "Say it, it won't be that this ship hasn't paid yet!"
"Boss, you are so wise, this ship only has a down payment now, and the rest needs to be settled by you, boss!"
"Mr. Anthony, tell me how you managed to convince the Rus' to accept the installments, which I know is not easy?"
Anthony said: "It's all up to you, the boss, who called us now the plenipotentiary of Mr. Lu Yuan, the world's number one treasure explorer......
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Okay, how much money is left for this ship, tell me, and I will notify the bank to transfer it to you later!"
"Boss, this ship is a bit expensive, it costs a total of 50 million meters!"
Lu Yuan estimated in his heart that the ship had a displacement of 3,000 tons, a speed of more than 30 knots, and all kinds of salvage equipment on board were the most advanced in the world.
50 million meters is not too expensive, and it is even cheap.
With this ship, most of the sea areas are accessible to go.
"Okay, I'll ask the bank to transfer the money to you in a moment. ”
Then Lu Yuan turned his head and shouted to the crew: "Partners, it's time to start!"
"Boss, are we still the same old rules this time?" shouted a crew member with a grin
"Of course, it's still the same old rules!"
"Oh yes, long live the boss!"
"Let's start, let's start, don't rub it off......"
The crew began to get busy one by one, especially the newly recruited crew members on the ship, after hearing Lu Yuan's promise, they all seemed to be beaten with chicken blood!
This time, Lu Yuan was also only responsible for the camera, and the salvage work was handed over to the crew. Only when the crew can't figure it out, Lu Yuan will take action in person.
But with just a few occasional shots, the new crew members were completely subdued by him.
A few hundred catties of things can't be lifted by a few people, but they were easily lifted up by Lu Yuan, and asked if you were convinced!
The crew members are privately discussing whether our boss will be a legendary cultivator, this strength is too great, it can be regarded as Hercules.
Later, after these discussions reached the ears of the old crew, the old crew members recalled Lu Yuan's various peculiarities and quickly agreed with this view.
The crew felt that Lu Yuan must be different from ordinary people, so they secretly nicknamed Lu Yuan "Popeye" in private.
I have to say that the crew recruited by Anthony is indeed very good, and the work efficiency is very high, and soon the first batch of shipwreck treasures were salvaged out of the water!
The first thing to be salvaged was gold, and boxes of gold were carried onto the salvage ship, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Some people couldn't walk anymore when they looked at the gold, but after seeing Lu Yuan's extraordinary, everyone also suppressed the bad intentions in their hearts.
What's more, some of this gold belongs to oneself in the first place, and you can't afford to take risks for the sake of a chance that is not even one percent.
The old crew members have personally experienced the affairs of the "Vostok", and although the new crew members have not experienced it personally, they also know it clearly from the old crew members and various media.
Those who could have become millionaires were too greedy, and not only did they not get a share of the money, but they were also sent to prison.
After the gold was salvaged, Lu Yuan began to organize the crew to salvage the rest of the items, and after two months of salvage, the treasure of the "Oak" shipwreck was finally salvaged out of the water.
After three days of inventory, everyone sorted out the treasures they had obtained.
This time they got more treasure than the Vostok!
It has 12 tons of gold, more than 200,000 silver coins, 12 ancient bronze cannons, and even a number of handicrafts. There are a bunch of other small items of all kinds.
Nothing else, while valuable, has little artistic or archaeological value, as gold and silver coins have been used as currency for a long time.
But that batch of handicrafts is different, at first glance it is very distinctive, and it is very old.
Lu Yuan guessed whether these handicrafts would be found by the Dutch people in a lost civilization on the Mizhou continent.
Because this batch of artworks is very similar to the objects of the legendary Mayan civilization.
Because on one of the works of art, Lu Yuan found a disc-shaped relief, and after careful inspection, it was clearly a galaxy map of the solar system.
In order to prove this, Lu Yuan searched all the materials and various speculative records about the Mayan civilization.
Sure enough, after some searching, he found a pattern similar to the artwork he salvaged out of the water.
And this pattern belongs to the Mayan civilization.
This can't help but surprise Lu Yuan, the unearthing of this batch of handicrafts is likely to cause a sensation in the archaeological community.
......
When Lu Yuan was salvaging the wreck of the "Oak", the news on the Internet about Lu Yuan's discovery of the treasure again was already very loud.
There is a lot of discussion on the Internet about how many treasures Lu Yuan will find this time.
Some netizens even deduced that Lu Yuan's salvage ship "Xuanwu" is now salvaging the famous "Oak" shipwreck.
However, some netizens believe that Lu Yuan and others salvaged the wreck of the "Parrot" in the west.
More than 300 years ago, the treasure ship "Parrot" in the west also sank in the nearby waters.
The news that Lu Yuan salvaged the shipwreck treasure again on the high seas has just been reported.
There are endless arguments on the Internet about the sunken ship that he salvaged out of the water.
Without Lu Yuan knowing it at all, he became popular again.
When Lu Yuan learned all this, he was speechless and directly released a video of the salvage process of the "Oak" on the Internet.
After the video was released, the controversy among netizens finally calmed down.
At this time, everyone was shocked by the neat pile of gold and silver on the video.
The mountains of treasures piled up on the video give people too much visual impact!
"Oh my God, how much gold is this......"
"Today I just know what Jinshan Yinhai is......"
"Is it true that there are so many treasure ships sunk in this world?"
"Of course, at least a thousand treasure ships sank during the Great Voyage and Colonial Era......"
"This one is actually okay, I remember salvaging a shipwreck in the Caribbean Sea with 40 tons of gold ...... on it"
"If only I could find a sunken treasure ship!" someone on the Internet said sourly.
"Brother upstairs, you're thinking too much......"
......
When netizens were motivating the discussion, the major media also began to get excited.
Soon, Lu Yuan's discovery of the shipwreck's treasure appeared in newspapers, television and the Internet along with the "Oak" and various photos and videos of gold, silver coins, jewelry, and porcelain.
The world treasure hunting community, which had slowly calmed down after more than a year, also became hot again because of the discovery of the wreck of the "Oak".
At the same time, the "Parrot", which also has a lot of treasures, is also well known to the world treasure hunting community.
Ocean search companies sprang into action. The "Oak" is gone, but there is still the "Parrot" treasure ship.
Adventurers from all over the world flock to the western Pacific.
Lu Yuan originally thought about whether to continue looking for the Parrot, but after some thought, he gave up this plan.
Lu Yuan's decision was agreed by the crew, and people should know how to be self-sufficient. The treasure of the "Oak" is enough to feed everyone.
There is no need to compete with others for the Parrot!
After counting the treasures, Lu Yuan commanded the "Xuanwu" to sail to the port city.
This time, Lu Yuan still plans to sell the "Oak" as a whole.
Three days later, the "Xuanwu" arrived safely in the port city.
As soon as Lu Yuan got off the boat, he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Lu, do you have any plans to hold an auction in Port City this time?"
"Mr. Lu, what do you think of the global treasure hunt that is now underway?"
"Mr. Lu, some netizens broke the news that you didn't learn and didn't know how to do it since you were a child, but I don't know if it's true?"
"Mr. Lu, what do you think of the wreck of the Parrot?"
"Mr. Lu, do you think the major exploration companies can find the wreck of the "Parrot" this time......
......
The reporters surrounded Lu Yuan for a while, and some of these questions obviously set a lot of traps.
In the face of the enthusiastic reporters, Lu Yuan had to hold an impromptu press conference at the port.
At the meeting, Lu Yuan earnestly answered some questions that the reporters were concerned about.
However, Lu Yuan also made some counterattacks on some of the hidden traps.
It wasn't until the evening that Lu Yuan finally got rid of the entanglement of the reporters. Back on board.
The madness of the reporters also made Lu Yuan realize that he has now become a real hot person.
And he is not like others, he has a lot of wealth, and his security force is very weak.
This is actually more dangerous, a bit like "children holding money and the market", after understanding this, he dismissed his plan to go home.
He feared that if he returned home, he would leak about his family.
This also made Lu Yuan realize for the first time that he needed to strengthen his security forces. Not for yourself, but for your family.
After returning to the ship, Lu Yuan was always worried about the safety of his family, and after thinking about it again, he used an anonymous mobile phone to dial the anniversary call.
"I'm Lu Yuan...... Yes Yes Yes ...... I'm in Port City right now...... I know, don't worry, I'll stay on the ship during this time and won't go home......"
"I would like to ask you one more thing, my parents and family...... Really, it's great, thank you, and when this is done, we brothers will get together again......"
Hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan finally let out a long breath.
It turned out that Nian had already helped him hire a top bodyguard to protect his family.
At the same time, many people also became interested in the "Oak" and were ready to make a move on Lu Yuan and his treasure......
