My system is not decent

Chapter 842 Visible Wealth
In fact, even if a large number of Spanish shipwrecks were not found, Chen Wenzhe also intends to cooperate with the local maritime department or the navy.

Otherwise, he would not immediately decide to report the sunken ship after discovering it.

Even if some gemstones were allocated later, it was just to test the reaction of everyone.

If the staff of the maritime department strongly demand to turn it over, he doesn't mind.

However, the matter of cooperation needs to be carefully considered.

Now I have met an officer who is smooth and not rigid, that would be great.

If the cooperation is happy, maybe he can get a group of people through these people to help him go to South Vietnam.

Therefore, treasures at sea have never been Chen Wenzhe's goal. What he always thinks about is the batch of pottery figurines, bronze wares and gold wares.

Of course, there is no shortage of gold artifacts in the sunken ship, but those are the gold artifacts of South American civilization, which are different from the inherited gold artifacts in China.

"Can you tell me what kind of shipwreck it is?" After thinking for a while, the officer asked.

"The galleon of the seventeenth century, a treasure ship!" Chen Wenzhe said directly without concealing it.

"Treasure ship?"

"Spanish treasure ship?"

"you sure!"

"How is that possible? We have a Spanish treasure ship sunk here?"

When Chen Wenzhe said this, not only the officers were surprised, Zheng Yu and Zhang Yijie were even more surprised.

Isn't Zheng Yu the most active in their group?Why is Chen Wenzhe now a vanguard?
Most importantly, when did he know that the Spanish treasure ship sank?
"Yes, it's the Spanish treasure ship in the seventeenth century!" Chen Wenzhe said affirmatively.

"How much gold and silver can a Spanish treasure ship hold? Is it [-] million?" Another official asked at this time.

Chen Wenzhe glanced at him. He didn't believe that this person didn't know the value of the Spanish treasure ship. If he asked this question, did he believe him?

[-] million?This is too underestimated the treasure ship at that time.

Why did the European powers go to the colonies later?Why did Spain and Portugal finally decline?It's all because there were too many treasures in the past and it was too high-profile.

According to British media reports, a submarine salvage company in the beautiful country recently discovered a Spanish shipwreck in the waters of Florida.

Judging from the size of the sunken ship and its location, it is the "Goddess of Liberation", a Spanish treasure ship more than two hundred years ago, which is "renowned" in the international salvage industry.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked, because the "Goddess of Liberation" contained gold, silver and jewelry worth 20 billion to 30 billion US dollars in history, and it is the sunken ship with the highest "gold content" discovered so far!

Now the treasure ship has not yet surfaced, but the beautiful country, Spain and France have launched a fierce battle for the treasure, and all three parties claim that they are the legal owners of the ship.

In fact, Chen Wenzhe knew that the treasures in that ship were not worth that much money, because many of the gold, silver and jewels had been salvaged once.

And those treasures that were salvaged from the water reappeared in the Pacific Ocean, or sank to the bottom of the sea.

"As long as a complete treasure ship is salvaged, the value will not be less than two billion dollars!" Chen Wenzhe said.

What he said was actually quite conservative.

The real Spanish treasure ship, without any wear and tear, is worth tens of billions instead of billions.

Such sunken ships are not the only ones that Chen Wenzhe encountered, there are many in other sea areas, even those that have been salvaged.

For example, the shipwreck in the waters of Colombia, the ancient Spanish shipwreck is said to have treasures worth 170 billion US dollars.

It's just that the local Colombia has worked so hard to salvage it, but it may not be possible to own it.

If it wasn't for the great hidden dangers and lack of maritime strength, Chen Wenzhe certainly would not have easily made up his mind to cooperate with national forces.

Besides, what's the use of asking for too much money?

When the money reaches a certain level, it is really just a series of numbers, meaningless.

Chen Wenzhe threw a sinking ship purely for the sake of cooperating with the country.

Depending on the situation, if possible, he might be able to transport the large number of cultural relics buried in South Vietnam back to China without worry.

If there are indeed a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the sunken ship, then he doesn't mind. He will directly build a museum in Dahai City, or in his hometown. When the time comes, the large number of cultural relics he collects can be directly sent to the museum for preservation.

Doing so can be too worry-free, not to mention safety, but also professional maintenance, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Is it really a Spanish treasure ship?" The officer still didn't believe it.

Chen Wenzhe smiled slightly and said, "I'm in a good position to lie to you? Why don't you help me hire a salvage fleet, which is more reliable, and I'll pay for it. If I don't find it, I'll be responsible for the loss.

If there is a discovery, you are responsible for helping me salvage the water, and then our two families will share the harvest equally. In this way, all troubles from the outside world will need to be dealt with by you. "

The officer fell silent. After a while, he stood up and said, "I'll make a phone call."

Chen Wenzhe smiled and watched the officer walk towards the distant deck.

Hesitating is right. Facing a Spanish treasure ship, even the leaders of the country dare not say that they are all indifferent.

However, the ownership of this treasure ship is still a very sensitive topic, as long as it is exposed, it will definitely be a trouble.

Or the ancient shipwreck discovered in Colombia before, has not been debated until now.

The ancient shipwreck said to be worth $170 billion was the San Jose, a Spanish galleon sunk by British ships 300 years ago.

The ship is said to have carried gold, silver and precious gems collected in the South American colonies.

These treasures were given to King Philip V of Spain to finance the Spanish to win the war with a large sum of money.

Colombia first discovered the wreck in 2015, somewhere off the coast of Cartagena.

Recently a team of marine archaeologists, with the help of underwater robots, began investigating and released new information on what has been found so far.

This may be the most valuable shipwreck ever, worth billions of dollars, and this may be the truest data.

But even so, the wealth on it can be regarded as extremely astonishing.

You know, these are all visible wealth, not paper wealth like equity.

These treasures can be easily converted into cash as long as there is water.

Now in the world, except for some super big companies, which company can come up with billions of dollars in cash at once?

And San Jose is one of thousands of shipwrecks around the world.

So, who has the right to own the wreck?
There have also been many disputes in recent years about the ownership of items from sunken ships at sea.

Especially in foreign countries, if the shipwreck company salvages the treasure ship, the country where the treasure ship is located will also demand ownership.
