The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

In the next two days, Zhu Yu did not continue to go into the water to salvage anything.

He had seen all the nearby underwater areas, and every shop in the market area had more or less valuable items.

Now the team members on the yacht are digging into the sea in groups and gradually figuring out how to find the good things under the sediment on the seabed as quickly as possible.

There should be a lot of good stuff over there at the City Lord's Mansion. After all, the city lords at that time were extremely powerful, and they were often descendants of nobles sent from Europe. They were very accustomed to luxurious decorations.

And no matter how much money you make here, you can't go back to Europe to spend money, so you often spend a lot of gold and silver to make some expensive jewelry, tableware and other daily necessities.

It’s not a problem to just make something here and sell it for thousands of dollars.

It's a pity that the building materials of the City Lord's Mansion are also very solid. They are made of stones nearly one meter thick. It is not easy to find things under these piles of stones, even under water.

Therefore, the biggest harvests among those fishing boats were found above the civilian areas. After all, the building materials in these places are average and the terrain is relatively flat. You can find a lot of things by digging around in the sea with just a tool.

Although the value of these things is often not high, they add up to a small sum and become a considerable fortune over time.

After two days, there were already thirty or forty fishing boats gathered here. Just because the sea area is relatively large, it doesn't seem crowded yet.

But Zhu Yu could foresee that in two days, either official personnel would come here and drive away all the fishing boats, or another group of fishing boats would arrive to further narrow the scope of the search.

By then, the current temporary calm state may be broken.

I don't know if there is a connection between the fishing boats or for some other reason, but there are still no fishing boats within a radius of about 150 meters around the big yacht where Zhu Yu is.

No unsighted fishing boat dared to come over and provoke the people on the yacht.

Everyone lived in peace and maintained a certain degree of tacit understanding.

During this period, Blind Guess would come here twice every day, bringing a lot of things with him.

The large cargo ship coming from the big island came over and left, but docked near the yacht.

This cargo ship has a carrying capacity of thousands of tons. It is not cost-effective to haul less things at one time. Zhu Yu planned to wait until he was ready to leave before letting the cargo ship leave.

"Boss, the blind guessing boat is coming." Cao Dalong came over and called Zhu Yu.

"Okay, let's go down and take a look." Zhu Yu stood up and walked to the deck.

In order to facilitate the placement of items, Blind Guess has put away many things on the deck of the fishing boat to create a more spacious place.

But Zhu Yu glanced over and found that there were not many more things this time than last time.

"There are so many fishing boats now. Why did you just collect these things today?"

After hearing Zhu Yu's question, Blind guess smiled bitterly and said:

"Mr. Zhu, this is getting harder and harder to do now. Others saw me making some money and joined this business. There is a fisherman named Qiang Ba who has a bigger fishing boat and offers higher prices, and he and many fishermen have We know each other, so..."

Zhu Yu nodded. This is normal. As long as there is interest, there will naturally be competition. The ruins of this city are so large that it cannot be monopolized by one company - Zhu Yu himself did not even think of doing this.

"Mr. Zhu, look... everything on this boat is given to you." Blind Guess saw that Zhu Yu didn't speak, so he took a step forward and said with a smile:

"Can you...can you send a few people to drive that person away! You also know that after that person gets something, he will transport it back to the dock and sell it again. If he does this, it will be your loss!"

Zhu Yu smiled, glanced at him, and said:

"I won't care about the competition between you. If you have the ability, just raise the price for those people, and everyone will make money together. If you lower the price too low, others will naturally not sell the goods. Sold to you."

Blind guess had a disappointed expression on his face.

Zhu Yu continued:

"Of course, if you think there is no profit from selling things to me, then you can also follow his example and bring the things back to your port for sale, and I won't have any objection."

Blind guess hurriedly smiled and said:

"Only a fool would do that! This time, it will cost a lot of diesel fuel alone!"

As for raising the price, he wouldn't do it - besides, it was Zhu Yu who made the direct bid, and he decided whether to sell or not. Wouldn’t it be nice to make thousands of dollars by going back and forth twice a day?

Like that big guy, even though he seems to have collected a lot of things, transporting them back to the dock is a waste of time. How can he meet such a cheerful big customer when he goes to the dock?

I have sold more than 60% of the things I received, leaving very little behind. How much time does this save?

On the other hand, the big guy collected a whole fishing boat's worth of stuff, which was a mess and contained everything. Pulling these things back takes up space and needs to be sorted out. Besides, apart from hard currencies such as gold and silver, not many people know how much other things are worth!

So how does he make money?

Blind Guess felt that he had learned a lot from Zhu Yu these days, and he had become more picky about collecting things. He felt that he had really spent so many years in vain!

There are many shipwrecks in the waters around the Philippines. Blind Guess had seen it before, but when he came across it, he took out some porcelain to see if there was any gold and silver, and threw away some other valuable things.

"The things this time are good." Zhu Yu looked at the things on the deck and praised, "There are still some exquisite ones."

Zhu Yu picked up a gold coin in very good condition and said:

"Just this one gold coin can be sold for three hundred dollars."

Blind guessing joy:

"Mr. Zhu, is there anything to say about this gold coin?"

"The quantity in existence is relatively small, and the quality is relatively exquisite." Zhu Yu knew that he should give this blind guess a little sweetness at the right time, "There is also this wooden box."

Zhu Yu picked up another wooden box and said, "This is sandalwood. Although it has been soaked in water for a long time, it has not been crushed. It can be sold for a hundred dollars."

What Zhu Yu said was true, but the price was a lot lower. Such a sandalwood box, if brought back to the domestic antique circle, could be sold for a thousand dollars, not to mention a hundred dollars.

"If you can accept this price, then I will accept it." Zhu Yu said.

"No problem, no problem!" Blind Guess said with a smile, "I can learn a lot by doing business with you!"

Zhu Yu thought to himself, just don't scold me then.

In addition to gold coins and wooden boxes, Blind Guess also collected some gold, silver, and copper jewelry and tableware. Zhu Yu estimated that those fishermen had touched the rich area and found a lot of good things.

These should be carefully selected, and there are also some ordinary things placed at the stern of the fishing boat deck.

Zhu Yu packed up all these things and paid a total of US$5,700 to Blind Guess.

There were a lot of things, and everything was in good condition, which made Zhu Yu very satisfied.

The team members followed Zhu Yu and also picked up.

After the things Zhu Yu picked were delivered to the cargo ship, he returned to the yacht.

"Dalong, send someone over to ask the people on that fishing boat if they can sell something to us." Zhu Yu pointed to the big fishing boat that was still in contact with other fishing boats, which was the fishing boat that he blindly hoped Zhu Yu would help with. .

"Okay." Cao Dalong responded, put down a motorboat from the yacht, let two team members ride on it and drove towards the fishing boat.

Blind guessing saw this situation, but could only smile bitterly.

He had guessed before that Zhu Yu might do such a thing, but he was powerless to object.

Zhu Yu is much bigger than him, so now he can only hope that Zhu Yu will not abandon him.

Zhu Yu naturally didn't mean that. The two team members went over and chatted with the big captain for a while, and then the fishing boat followed the motorboat.

Blind Guess's items just happened to be sold out. When he left, he passed by the other party's boat. The big guy gave Blind Guess a proud look.

Blind guessing just smiles.

He has to collect things quickly.

The big captain drove the fishing boat in front of the yacht. Zhu Yu glanced at it and found that there was no danger on the fishing boat, so he put up a ladder and jumped off.

"These things of mine... are sold in packages!" The captain looked stubborn, "Not retail!"

Zhu Yu did not answer him immediately, but first looked at the things on the boat.

The things on this fishing boat were very miscellaneous, and the quality was relatively low, not as good as those collected by Blind Guess - the daily necessities in the civilian area, mostly iron candlesticks, chipped porcelain, flattened copper basins and the like.

Each item cost just a few dollars at the antique stall.

The victory lies in quantity.

There are hundreds of pieces in total.

However, Zhu Yu also discovered several valuable things.

A bronze Guanyin statue dates from the Yuan Dynasty and is in relatively good condition - mainly because there are some rust and dirt on the bronze statue, so it doesn't look like a good thing.

In fact, Zhu Yu could see through his celestial eye that the bronze statue was graceful and natural in shape, about forty centimeters high, with a full face and no defects or cracks. If he took it back and repaired it, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of dollars.

The other thing is a big pile of copper coins. Most of these copper coins were from the Ming Dynasty. What surprised Zhu Yu was that there was a complete "Yongle Tongbao" with three coins on its back!

There is only one of this thing in existence in the world, and it’s missing the corners!

During the Republic of China, someone paid 500 yuan to buy this missing horn. Think about the purchasing power at that time... haha.

Now, that is the only one!

Not to mention the price, it is estimated that someone will take it for several million!

What surprised Zhu Yu was that there was not a single gold or silver product in the entire ship.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yu understood. This big captain must be hiding something secret.

After Zhu Yu read it, he said calmly:

"All...a thousand dollars."

There are almost four to five hundred items, and Zhu Yu's price is equivalent to two dollars a piece.

The big guy's mouth twitched when he heard this, obviously he couldn't help but want to laugh, but then he lowered his face, shook his head vigorously and said:

"No, no, no, this price is too low! Add more money!"

"Don't be so shameless!" Cao Dalong spoke from the side and retorted, "Don't think we don't know. You took away all the valuable things. There's not a single thing here that looks eye-catching. Our boss Seeing how pitiful you are, I’ll give you a thousand dollars!”

Zhu Yu looked at the big man expressionlessly.

Seeing that there was no way for Zhu Yu to increase the price, the big guy immediately changed his face, nodded with a smile, and reached out for money.

"Move the things first!" Cao Dalong stood in front of Zhu Yu, "We won't be short of your money!"

The fishing boat arrived at the cargo ship, and the team members began to move things up. Zhu Yu gave Cao Dalong a signal and took out the bronze Buddha statue and the pile of copper coins.

After moving the things, when the fishing boat docked on the yacht, Cao Dalong took out a thousand dollars and handed it to the big man who watched helplessly.

The big man counted the money with his fingers dipped in saliva, put it away happily, then pointed at the bronze Buddha statue and the coins and asked:

"Are these two things valuable?"

Zhu Yu ignored him and got on the yacht.

The big man was resentful in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He led the people in the fishing boat and continued to collect things.

"Boss, what do these two things mean?" Cao Dalong came over and asked as he watched the big guy leave.

"The surface of this bronze Buddha statue is actually not completely rusty, but also stained. After it is cleaned, someone should take it back and charge tens of thousands of dollars."

Cao Dalong looked at it, nodded, and his eyes fell on the copper coins again.

"Most of the coins here are ordinary coins," Zhu Yu said, "but if you pick out a rare coin, you'll give it away."

He casually broke open the rusty copper coins and began to decompose them one by one.

Cao Dalong immediately went over and brought a screwdriver and handed it to Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu took it and continued to clean up on the deck.

After a while, he took off the Yongle Tongbao.

Sure enough, except for some patina on it, the condition is perfect. There are only two words "three coins" behind it.

I weighed it in my hand and found that it was about ten grams, which was about the same as in the records.

It's it!

"Boss, is this money... a treasure?"

"Yeah. It's a treasure." Zhu Yu handed the copper coin to Cao Dalong, "Look, there are only two in the world!"

"Two!" Cao Dalong's eyes suddenly widened, "So few? Then this one...isn't it a priceless treasure?"

"That's not the case, after all, it's just copper coins." Zhu Yu smiled, "For this money, if someone likes to collect it, the bid may be from tens to millions. In the hands of ordinary people, it may only cost a few thousand yuan. "

After all, those who know these things are professionals, even if they have half a bottle of vinegar, they may not know it.

Someone once bought a copper-coated gold coin from a copper coin stall. After taking it back, he identified it as a gold coin and melted it to make earrings for his wife.

It turned out later that the money was a treasure, and its market price was much higher than gold of the same quality!

I really picked up the leaks, but not all of them. It is said that if it doesn't fit in, I can change to a suite.

Therefore, even some people who set up stalls to sell may not necessarily know the true value of these things.

After Cao Dalong read it, he immediately threw it back to Zhu Yu: "Boss, you better keep it, I'll hold it hot!"

Zhu Yu smiled and put away the copper coins.

He didn't have much thought about collecting it, he just wanted to see if he could meet someone he was destined for later.

"Boss, are there any good things in here?"

"I don't know." Zhu Yu put on a show and pried off the remaining dozens of copper coins one by one.

Then I really found a lot of valuable ones, such as other Yongle Tongbao worth a few hundred yuan, Jiajing Tongbao with a higher value, and Wanli Tongbao with a lower value.

These are much more valuable than the modern popular Five Emperors coins. After all, in the early Qing Dynasty, many coins of the Ming Dynasty were destroyed, which also led to many copper coins later being found in Southeast Asia.

After all, a lot of it was circulated here at that time, and even in the Japanese country, there was the so-called Demon King Oda Nobada who put Yongle Tongbao on his flag.

After prying out the copper coins, Zhu Yu simply cleaned them up and put them away.

He was talking while prying, and the team members were listening nearby, and then they started to look for the copper coins they bought to see if there were any treasures.

When it was getting dark, Blind Guess brought some more things over. Zhu Yu saw that he was "working hard without complaining" and gave him a high price of three thousand US dollars. However, Zhu Yu estimated that the value of these items was around one hundred thousand US dollars.

Of course, you have to meet someone who knows the goods. If he didn't accept it, blindly guessing that he would go to the port and sell it to a dealer would probably cost him only two thousand dollars.

Blind Guess was very happy and thanked her profusely. Zhu Yu estimated that he had made thirty thousand US dollars from flip flops these days.

He saw that the big fishing boat seemed to have left the sea under the cover of night.

Zhu Yu didn't care either. One more person was not too much, and one person less than him was not too much.

Another day passed, and the team members had successfully salvaged two-thirds of the good stuff in the nearby market area. The boat was mostly filled, and Zhu Yu was very satisfied.

He got interested, so he went into the water again, walked around the port area, and found a cargo ship containing half porcelain and half raw silk. However, the raw silk was naturally rotted long ago, and the porcelain was better to produce a few thousand pieces. Intact.

When I came back, I walked around the rich area and found two wealthy people with good family backgrounds. I took out a few boxes of gold coins from the bank vault under the stone ruins, which was a good harvest.

Back on the yacht, when it was almost dark, the big captain drove the fishing boat over again.

"Boss, look at the good things I brought this time!"

The big guy was very excited and attentive, and Zhu Yu could see a hint of cunning in it.

There were seven piles of copper coins and some random things on the deck.

"Pack it up and sell it. How about two thousand dollars for these?" The big man looked a little determined to get it.

Obviously, he felt that Zhu Yu would definitely accept it.

Zhu Yu jumped onto the fishing boat, glanced at it, and understood immediately.

This big guy is really a profiteer!

Of these seven coins, only two were fished out of the sea, and the remaining five were all fake!

Thinking that he left the sea area at night the first day, how could Zhu Yu not guess that he was going to get fake goods?

Not only these copper coins, but also several new-looking Buddha statues are also fakes!

This guy is so damn brave!

Zhu Yu was about to have a seizure, but when his heavenly eye glanced at the two piles of real copper coins, he felt happy for a moment.

This guy... is quite good!

Such good things have been sent here, and I feel a little embarrassed if I don’t accept them!

"One thousand dollars, I'll take it!" Zhu Yu waved his hand, "Otherwise, get out!"

The big guy hesitated.

In fact, Zhu Yu was afraid that he would really leave!
