Chapter 9: Getting Rich Overnight

Late at night, after Lu Yuan finished the last phone call, he collapsed on the sofa in the room.

Since his treasure hunt was exposed, the phone has not been disconnected.

Other people's calls can be ignored, but the calls of parents and older brothers must be returned.

Every day after answering the phone call from his family, he felt very tired.

But I'm still in a good mood, at least I know that someone has always cared about me.

After resting on the couch for a while, he was about to go to wash up when the phone rang again.

At first glance, the caller ID was called by Anthony.

"Boss, the matter of the auction company has been negotiated, and the contract has been sent, so let's see how it goes!"

"OK, I don't have to worry about your errands, and you must also pay attention to safety during this time, and you must remember to bring bodyguards when you go out!"

Lu Yuan admonished Anthony, and then hung up the phone.

After taking a comfortable shower, Lu Yuan turned on the computer and carefully read the contract documents sent by Anthony.

After a careful look, Lu Yuan didn't find any problems, so he entrusted the next auction to Anthony and the lawyer team.

For these things, he is a layman, and it is better for professional matters to be handled by professionals.

Although Anthony has never been famous before, he has been in the treasure hunting world for decades after all.

All kinds of ways can still be found, and Lu Yuan believes that Anthony will not dare to deceive himself.

He should know what the consequences of deceiving himself will be.

......

Time flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

After so much hype, the whole world knows that today there will be a great auction of the century at the auction house of Sujiade, which claims to be the world's number one.

There is only one lot in this auction, and that is the wreck of the "Vostok" and its treasure.

Today's auction will start at 10 a.m.

However, as soon as it was dawn, many reporters gathered outside the venue.

The auction was followed by media from all over the world.

Because this is the hottest topic in recent times.

As long as it is news related to treasure hunting, there are a lot of people who follow it.

What's more, the great treasure of Lu Yuan and the "Dongfang" that caused all this.

However, it is a pity that as early as half a month ago, Lu Yuan had publicly stated that he would not attend the auction in person.

This is also understandable, after all, Lu Yuan is now known to the people of the world because of the matter of the great treasure.

However, while becoming famous, it also brought him some trouble.

It is said that there are already some violent groups ready to deal with him after the auction is over.

In this case, it is naturally better to be cautious.

I heard that in order to prevent criminals from attacking Lu Yuan's family, Zhuxia has sent police to protect Lu Yuan's family.

Starting at 8 o'clock in the morning, people who were ready to participate in the auction arrived at the venue one after another.

At ten o'clock, after all the guests arrived, the doors of the venue were closed.

Some journalists tried to infiltrate the scene, but security personnel spotted them and drove them out.

Although the value of the items auctioned in this auction is not the highest, the people who participate in the auction are celebrities from all over the world.

In terms of security, there is no room for carelessness, and if terrorists are allowed to sneak in, it is estimated that many countries will have to lower their flags at half-mast.

On the auction table, the famous auctioneer of the United States, William Wallace, walked to the front of the stage.

"Welcome, my name is William Wallace, and I am entrusted by my client, Mr. Lu Yuan, to preside over this auction today. ”

"I believe you already know the items auctioned today, this is a Western-style galleon with a displacement of 500 tons...... It was built around the end of the 16th century. ”

"This ship is one of the most legendary sailing ships in history, having ruled the seas for two hundred years......"

"This Vostok, the best-preserved Western-style galleon to date, has very important archaeological and artistic value......

In addition to 9,527 gold coins, 219765 silver coins and a large number of precious stones, the ship also has a complete set of 16th-century Old World household utensils. In addition, there are four bronze cannons and four iron cannons cast in the 16th century. ”

"In particular, these four iron cannons are the earliest iron cannons found today, and they have great research and collection value. ”

"The starting price of this auction is 400 million meters, and each increase shall not be less than 1 million, now please bid!"

"Four hundred and ten million!" was the first to hold up the sign by the representative of the National Museum of Western China.

The shipwreck itself came from the West, so the people of the West have the greatest desire for it.

Just like our country, no one wants their country's important cultural goods to be shipped overseas.

What's more, this ship also represents the most glorious years in the history of the Western Kingdom.

The "Empire on which the sun never sets" was originally used to refer to the western kingdom in the early colonial era, but it was only in the 18th century that the western kingdom lost the title of "empire on which the sun never sets" because of its defeat in the Thirty Years' War.

"Four hundred and ten million one million!" this time the bidder was the representative of the National Museum of Saxon.

The Saxon State Museum has always had a crazy fascination with all kinds of ships.

Now that I see such a perfect "Vostok", of course, we have to fight.

"Four hundred and thirty million!" this time it was Martin & Co., a private company specializing in shipwreck museums.

With the bidding of these three companies, more and more people raised their signs, and soon the quotation exceeded 500 million meters.

"This gentleman bid 500 million, is there a higher bid ......"

"This gentleman bids 510 million ......"

"And there are no more than 510 million bids... 510 million twice..."

The representative of the Western Museum gritted his teeth and raised the sign in his hand again.

"This friend from the West Country bid 511 million, and there is no higher ......"

The people who participated in the auction looked at the people in the western country who were already blushing and thick-necked, and weighed them in their hearts one by one, and finally gave up continuing to bid.

Although today's Western Kingdom is no longer the world power of the past, its strength is not weak, and there is no need to offend them for a shipwreck treasure.

"Fifty one million at a time... Fifty million one million twice... Fifty one million one million three times..."

"Okay, deal, congratulations to the friends from the West for getting the Woktok wreck and all its accessories!"

When William Wallace announced the results, everyone applauded and congratulated the Westerners on winning the Vostok.

After the auction, Anthony invited everyone to lunch on behalf of Lu Yuan.

......

Su Jiade Auction House is worthy of being the world's No. 1 auction house, and the proceeds from the auction were transferred to Lu Yuan's personal account that afternoon.

After deducting various expenses, Lu Yuan received a total of 430 million meters this time.

Of course, according to the promise, Lu Yuan will also give 15% of the proceeds to Anthony and the crew.

But even so, Lu Yuan still has an income of 365.5 million. After being converted into Zhuxia coins, it is 2.56 billion yuan.

In just a few hours, a new billionaire was born.

At the same time that Lu Yuan received the money, the news that the National Museum of the West had won the treasure of the shipwreck of the "Dongfang" at a price of 511 million meters spread all over the world with the help of the power of the Internet.

"Wow, 511 million dollars, oh my God, so earned!"

"Brothers, let's go treasure hunting, I just checked the information, but there are still thousands of shipwrecks in the Caribbean that have not been found......"

"Brother upstairs, what you said is true or false, there are really so many shipwrecks ......"

"What the brothers said earlier is true, there are indeed thousands of shipwrecks in the Caribbean!"

"Why should you keep your eyes on one place, we also have thousands of shipwrecks in the East China Sea!"

"That's right, not only in the East China Sea, but also in the South China Sea, I have checked the information, and there are also many treasure ships in the South China Sea that have sunk!"

"I said brothers, calm down, okay, it's not so easy to explore treasure, if you want to explore treasure, you have to have professional instruments and teams, do you all have them?"

......

Before the auction, although there were rumors on the Internet that the landing expedition had obtained a priceless treasure, and there were also expert estimates.

But after all, it's just value, not real money, so although there is a lot of news on domestic websites, everyone is just talking about it.

But when the auction ended and Lu Yuan received a break of 430 million meters, this really stimulated people's nerves.

Under the influence of Lu Yuan, a large number of adventurous people in China began to call friends, recruit troops, and prepare to devote themselves to exploring this unfamiliar cause to the Chinese people.

Because there has been no precedent for registering such companies in China, a large number of people have gone abroad to register.

In just one month, there were more than 200 maritime exploration companies registered by the Zhuxia people.

In the face of this situation, the Zhuxia government has also formulated the procedures for registering a marine search company as quickly as possible.

At the same time, with reference to the "International Salvage Law", the "Salvage Law" of Zhuxia Kingdom was formulated.

After all, there are also a large number of shipwrecks in the waters of Zhuxia Kingdom.

After the domestic Ocean Exploration Company can be registered, the number of domestic Ocean Exploration Companies has a blowout, and soon broke through the 1,000 mark.

Lu Yuan was also named the father of Zhuxia's ocean exploration on the Internet.

Of course, his other nickname is more famous, and that is "Super Diamond King Five!"

The vast number of netizens with magical powers actually found out all the information about Lu Yuan in only half a day.

Then various personnel began to keep in touch with Lu Yuan.

Even Lu Yuan's hometown, Yunmeng Village, did not let go.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan had been prepared for this, and long before the auction was held, he asked Nian to come forward and take his parents and brother's family to live in seclusion in Hong Kong City.

And Lu Yuan also gave everyone a long vacation after transferring the money that should have been distributed to Anthony and others to Anthony and others.

He himself, after taking care of some necessary affairs, quietly flew to Nanxinguo......
