The Book of Appreciation

After easily defeating Mauser, there were negotiations with the other three players who asked for an exchange. Unsurprisingly, Wu Di, who had tasted the big sweetness from Augustus and Eskenacz, didn't like these guys at all. After preparing this little thing, I just found an excuse and dismissed them all. .

That's all right?Focusing on looking at the two women who came to watch the excitement, is this the grand scale gambling scene you described?

Wu Di spread his arms and fought hard,

"I didn't say that! I just said I wasn't sure how long I'd be here!"

Meng Yao giggled twice, waved her little hand,

"This is better. Anyway, I have prepared a lot of time, and I can just take a good look around Hong Kong, so I will treat it as a vacation! Haha, I am going to visit Hong Kong first, and then go to Macau for a big gamble. Lanlan, I remember since After the establishment of that asset management company, we didn’t get any serious salary, did we? It’s just this time that he spit out his last name once!”

Wu Di, who was frowning, was carried by the two women to go shopping. The remaining three contestants who were also frowning anxiously waited for Wu Di to come to pick out their collections, hoping to get back the one he exported.I regret it at the beginning, I thought I could enter the third round with the valuation of antiques to fight for a chance, but I didn't expect this to be a big pit with no bottom at all!

Wu Di's frown was not because he wanted to go shopping with the two girls, but what he was worried about was that he didn't earn any good things this time when he came here full of hope.

In fact, even if the two women don't go to Hong Kong, Tadi is planning to go here after finishing the work.Because once the museum is established, it is still a bit weak to rely on his current collection.But if a few sunken ships can really be salvaged, it will be different immediately.

The ancient Maritime Silk Road, the Spanish golden fleet, the famous pirate treasures... If he can gain something in these areas, his collection will be greatly enriched. The Treasure Hall can hold up half the sky of the museum!

And his celestial book can absorb spirit energy from an unknown range, and his clairvoyant eyes can see seawater thousands of meters ahead. In this respect, is there anyone more blessed than him?

Yang Qingming made him really want to own a salvage boat, and the chat with Chang Kuan strengthened his determination to build his own salvage boat, and this trip to Hong Kong gave him two important blueprints for his salvage puzzle .

Since we are really going to get involved in deep-sea salvage, we need experts in this field to intervene from the beginning of manufacturing salvage ships.He had already made plans for this area, and the Ou Qiang couple he met in Hong Kong last time were a good choice.

Everything was well planned before coming here, but he didn't expect that the antiquity harvesting trip full of expectations would end like this, so he was a little depressed.

However, the trip to Hong Kong went smoothly. Ou Qiang and his wife, who had not been to sea for a long time due to financial constraints, came here without any hesitation after learning that Wu Di was going to spend a huge sum of money to build a luxurious salvage ship.

After carefully discussing some functions of the future salvage ship with the couple, Wu Di entrusted the matter to them. Coupled with his perspective, in the not-too-distant future, he will definitely make a fortune in deep sea salvage!

After finishing this business, Wu Di took his two daughters and started a leisurely trip to Hong Kong.

However, he did not expect that just one day later, he received a call from Freeman, and a new list was ready.

Amid the complaints from the two women, Wu Di returned to Macau alone. He decided that no matter what Freeman offered this time, he would give him a chance to bet against each other. After all, if he repeatedly refused, it would hurt this guy's heart. , the ultimate loss is not himself?

Wu Di guessed for a long time what Freeman would add, but he never expected that what this guy added would be a treasure map that is hard to distinguish between true and false!

"This is a treasure map. To be precise, it should be a map of the location of a sunken ship in the ocean. Mr. Wu Di, you must have heard the legends of countless sunken ships in the ocean, and you also know that the value of gold jewels carried on some sunken ships is likely to be hundreds of millions. However, if this sunken ship really exists and can be salvaged by you, I believe that you will step into the club of tens of billionaires in one fell swoop!"

Freeman's expression was very serious. While shaking a piece of kraft paper in his hand, he delivered an impassioned speech full of agitation.

Wu Di smiled lightly, but did not speak.Let’s not talk about the authenticity of this map of the location of the sunken ship. Just because Freeman is willing to use it as a bet, we know that even if it is true, it is probably located in some desperate place. Technology is not capable of salvage...

Seeing that Wu Di was indifferent, Freeman simply walked to his side and carefully spread the map on the desk.

Wu Di raised his head and took a look, and recognized that it should be a nautical chart, and it was definitely not a modern old thing, so he couldn't help being a little interested.

"Mr. Wu Di, look, the small circle marked by the red pen is the approximate location of the sunken ship. And this place is more than a thousand nautical miles away from the nearest mainland, and it is definitely located on the open sea. If it can be salvaged, you don't have to worry about someone share……"

Wu Di frowned and studied the sea chart. Those rough lines made him very uncomfortable. Moreover, it was impossible to determine which sea area was drawn by the red circle at all. This Freeman actually wanted to use this to fool him ?

"It is well known that Spain plundered the colonial wealth in the most barbaric manner. At that time, South America was proved to be rich in gold, silver and other rare resources, so the only job of the Spanish colonists in the New World was to mine and operate mines. A ship Another shipload of gold and silver treasury evidence of colonial plunder."

"Spanish gold ships are most afraid of pirates and hurricanes. In order to deal with pirates, each fleet is equipped with a "guard ship" equipped with cannons and a strong hull. The Atoka Lady is such a guard ship. 1622 In August, Madame Atoka was in a fleet consisting of) ships full of treasures and returned to Spain from South America. Because it was an escort ship, everyone put the most valuable and most treasures on Madame Atoka, sorry It was later known that the Lady Atoka had sunk, and so far almost everyone thinks it is the most salvageable shipwreck."

"But this one is different. This one is also a Spanish ship, but in addition to being loaded with gold and jewels, it also saved a sinking Chinese ship full of precious porcelain because of a chance encounter at sea. and spices, you can imagine, with a large amount of gold and a large amount of ancient porcelain, its value can reach an astonishing level!"

Hearing Freeman's tireless lobbying, Wu Di waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Mr. Freeman, I only have one question. If this shipwreck is as you describe...so full of treasures, and you have such a detailed chart, why didn't you salvage it?"

Freeman gave a wry smile and said:

"Mr. Wu Di, as a collector, I have my basic moral bottom line. Unless that diary deceived me too, I would never make up a story to deceive you. The treasures on this ship are very attractive , but please pay attention to the place where it sank. Although the small red circle is very small, according to the proportion, it represents at least a hundred nautical miles of sea surface. To determine the specific location of the sunken ship, a lot of searching is required. But This is where the problem arises. In this area, the shallowest part of the sea is more than 3000 meters. With current technology, we simply don’t have the ability to find it!”

Wu Di scratched his head, this old guy keeps saying that he has determined the approximate sea area, why can't I see it?

"Oh, I'm sorry, the specific azimuth coordinates were recorded in the diary by the survivor, and this chart can only be read in conjunction with the diary..."

As Freeman spoke, he handed Wu Di a cowhide-covered diary,

"Including this sea chart, I found all the information about the sunken ship from this diary. With Mr. Wu Di's identification technology, I think it should be easy to tell whether I am telling a lie or not."

Wu Di took the notebook with a serious face, and found that it was all in Spanish, so he couldn't help shaking his head.However, judging from the notebook itself, it is indeed an antiquity hundreds of years ago. Freeman probably didn't do anything wrong with it.

However, whether all this is a joke made by the ancients is still unknown. Otherwise, the colonial government at that time must have recorded such a valuable shipwreck. How could it be possible that it has remained unknown until today?

What's more, even if all of this is true, even if he can locate it accurately, it would be a super difficult task to salvage it from the seabed of more than 3000 meters.Not to mention that so many years have passed, the cargo on the ship is likely to spread all over the seabed with the ocean currents...

"Mr. Wu Di, you can't say that. Although it is almost impossible to salvage the sunken ship, it does not mean that this diary is useless. It represents a hope. Mr. Wu Di, at your age, plus With the current speed of technological development, I believe that it will not be long before these problems that have plagued us will no longer become troubles, and the most important thing..."

Freeman never gave up on persuading Wu Di. What he didn't know was that even without the diary and chart, Wu Di was ready to gamble with him.

"Mr. Wu Di, I know that even if you add this, you will not agree to exchange Yi Yin Dading back to me, but I hope you can give me a chance to bet against you..."

Wu Di smiled and nodded indifferently.If he had a chance, he would go to this place first. If this shipwreck really existed, and if it was really full of treasures as recorded in the notebook, his salvage ship could be manufactured according to the salvage that can achieve this depth.

"Okay, Mr. Freeman, how do you want to bet? Dice or Stud?"

Freeman shook his head. He already knew about Mauser's tragic experience. At the same time, he had a serious lack of confidence in the runner-up of the gambling king contest he invited. How could he dare to choose these two gambling methods?

"Mr. Wu Di, I am a rather impatient person. I gamble slowly bit by bit. I think it takes too much time. Why don't we gamble for luck?"

Wu Di frowned. The clairvoyance is not omnipotent. If this guy chooses some kind of roulette, he might have to refuse him.He came to win, not to return the antiques with good intentions...

"I prepared two decks of poker, and I decided to draw cards with Mr. Wu Di to compare the size!"

Freeman didn't keep him waiting, and directly stated his plan.When Wu Di heard it, his heart sank in his stomach. Draw cards, no one should be able to beat him, right?

To be on the safe side, Freeman agreed that the two sides would win two out of three fights. On his side, the gambler he had invited would take the fight, and on Wu Di's side, anyone would be able to fight.

"Mr. Wu Di, before we start, I would like to ask you to promise me a request. If I lose this time, I hope that I will have the opportunity to exchange for this great cauldron in other ways in the future."

Still coming?Wu Di smiled and nodded, and said:

"Mr. Freeman, I can only promise you that in the future, if you prepare an antique with the same value as the big tripod, I will give you another chance to bet against each other. As for the exchange you said, I think that any The Chinese people will no longer tolerate such a precious national treasure being left in a foreign country."

Freeman nodded slowly. What he said was just leaving a tail for himself. As for whether he will have a chance in this life, or whether he will have the courage to gamble again, only God knows. (To be continued.)
