Chapter 657 Your sister and I are innocent!

It is not that Huaxia does not have salvage companies and salvage fleets, but there is still a blank in professional ocean salvage.

One is because the situation in international waters is complicated, and sometimes it is necessary to deal with multiple countries, which involves too many aspects. No matter whether it is a public fleet or a private fleet, they will not enter and leave at will, even if they know that there may be shipwrecks in a certain area, It will also make it impossible to salvage.

The second is because the cost of the ocean-going salvage fleet is relatively high. In addition to the daily employment of crew and hull maintenance, there is also information collection and equipment purchase. Without strong funds, it is absolutely impossible to support it, because this is an invisible "Luck" investment, as a result, few people will pay, and many people will even regard it as a waste of money.

So so far, there has been no such thing as China's ocean-going salvage fleet salvaging treasures in international waters. Even the "Nanhai No. [-]" that made a lot of noise in the early years was also in domestic waters.

Li Dacheng elaborated on his travels in Europe and hired a fleet of salvage ships, which stunned Tang Zhenhua and Xu Chao. There are many rich people in China, but they have such courage It's really rare. It's difficult for those people to buy land and build buildings, and let them go fishing in the sea.

Tang Zhenhua and Xu Chao used to wonder where Huaigu's antiques came from, but now that Boss Li said so, they suddenly felt that nothing that appeared in Huaigu's auction would surprise them. Luck, a trip out is a boatload of treasure, more profitable than those drug dealers and arms dealers.

"Mr. Li, in fact, you are overthinking this matter. What you said about the distribution of salvage proceeds in international waters is also applicable in China, but there is no private ocean-going salvage fleet in China, and this kind of thing has never happened. "Tang Zhenhua said to Li Dacheng with a smile, and at the same time, it was to appease the other party and solve the other party's concerns.

"Really? Then I'm relieved." Li Dacheng said after hearing this, "However, I have the absolute right to distribute the treasures on the sunken ship."

"You can rest assured that if you donate the sunken ship, we can't let you suffer, right?" Tang Zhenhua said, "And I have heard from Director Xu just now that you will donate the sunken ship and porcelain, gold and silverware Is it right to keep it? Actually, in my opinion, the value of those porcelains is much higher than that of gold and silverware. If you really plan to donate in this way, if you really have to estimate the price, you might be at a disadvantage. Yes Now, can I ask, why do you want those gold and silver wares instead of those ceramics? You are engaged in auctions, so you should be very clear that porcelain is very popular in the domestic antique market."

Tang Zhenhua was very puzzled about this matter. In domestic auctions, many porcelains were sold for over [-] million yuan, but gold and silver ware rarely sold for over [-] million yuan. I am afraid that even laymen know this, let alone the auction house boss?You don't even know such a simple thing, do you?But now that you know it, why do you choose this way?Could it be that there are secrets hidden in those gold and silver vessels?

In fact, in Li Dacheng's view, although ceramics are valuable, for him, he can have as much as he wants, but gold and silverware are different. Super WeChat can't send them, which also leads to no goldware around him at all. Wares and silverware, so for him, gold and silverware are more important than porcelain.

"In fact, personally, I still like gold and silver wares very much, and there are indeed several good gold wares in this shipwreck, which are very rare in the market. I plan to take them to the auction house for auction, and I also I know that porcelain is valuable, but if so many porcelains enter the market all at once, it will definitely have a certain impact on the porcelain in the antique market. By then, I will offend so many people. I really want to walk away, so In my opinion, donating it to your capital museum is perfect." Li Dacheng said with a smile, he will have the money at that time, but he will offend all the people in the circle, will he still eat this business in the future?He doesn't want to block all the roads in the future, he might as well take the high-quality route like now, and the water will flow forever.

Of course, Li Dacheng also kept a hand, that is, to select some of the porcelain from the shipwreck, and at the same time mix some gold and silver wares from other sunken ships into the gold and silver wares of this sunken ship, so in general Said, he did not suffer much.

Hearing what Li Dacheng said, Tang Zhenhua said with emotion, "Mr. Li, you are right. If thousands of pieces of porcelain flow into the market, it will definitely have a serious impact on the value of porcelain on the market. You are so young, you can consider it. After seeing this, it is really rare to not be blinded by money."

There are quite a few people donating antiques to the Beijing Museum, some donating one piece, some donating a few pieces, but there has never been anyone donating thousands of pieces at once.

"I'm not as great as you said, isn't it because I don't want to take advantage of outsiders?" Li Dacheng was a little embarrassed by the praise, so he said, "Let's talk about the delivery."

Tang Zhenhua nodded, and then said, "Mr. Li, do you think this will work? You will transport the sunken ship to the high seas. I will then contact the relevant departments and send a fleet of ships to sea in the name of underwater archaeological investigation. After the handover is completed, after dragging the sunken ship ashore and counting the items in the sunken ship, I will transport the porcelain, gold and silver wares on board to the capital in the name of the Capital Museum, and then contact the relevant departments to transfer the gold wares to the capital. What do you think of the silverware delivered to your company?"

"Okay." Li Dacheng said after listening, "But my ship is in England, and it will take some time to reach us."

"It's okay, we can wait, as long as you can drag the sunken ship over," Tang Zhenhua said.

"Don't worry about this, I promise it will be fine."

Li Dacheng said it easily, but Tang Zhenhua was shocked when he heard it. The sea route from England to Huaxia is so far away. I don’t know how many countries’ ports will be called, and how many countries’ seas will be passed. Can the sunken ship be transported to Huaxia Linhai?What a great ability this is, anyway, if it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.

"Mr. Li, I thank you on behalf of the museum." Tang Zhenhua held Li Dacheng's hand tightly. There are thousands of pieces of porcelain in the sunken ship. If these things can really be transported to the capital, it will definitely be a major event for the entire archaeological community. thing.

"President Tang, Boss Li." Xu Chao said at this moment, "The sunken ship has arrived, but there must be a reason? There is such an ancient sunken ship carrying thousands of pieces of porcelain out of thin air. There must be a reasonable explanation for domestic or foreign affairs, what do you think?”

"Well, that's true." Tang Zhenhua nodded, then looked at Li Dacheng and asked, "Mr. Li, what do you think should be said?"

That's right, it can't be said that it was smuggled from Europe, can it?If this matter is reported, it will be a big trouble.

Li Dacheng thought for a while and said, "Let's say that we found it on the Maritime Silk Road in Huaigu, and cooperated with the Beijing Museum to salvage the sunken ship. Is it okay?" Li Dacheng looked at Tang Zhenhua after finishing speaking.

"No problem!" Tang Zhenhua said with a smile. Although this statement is an advertisement for Huaigu, why not add credit to him?
Speaking of which, I have been in office for a few years, and apart from a few private donations, there are no major archaeological discoveries. If the capital museum can be added to the salvage of the sunken ship, then is it not his merit?The young man in front of him not only gave a gift to the Capital Museum, but also a big gift from himself, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Then it's settled." Li Dacheng said, "After I go back, I will immediately arrange to send the sunken ship to the open sea in March and April. As for the handover location, you will tell me when the time comes."

"Okay." Tang Zhenhua replied. Although it took a long time, he could understand it. After all, it would take a month to travel from England to China by sea, not to mention dragging a sunken ship. It also takes enough time to prepare. Towing the ancient shipwreck is not a trivial matter. In all aspects, it must be reported to the higher authorities.

Li Dacheng left the Capital Museum, and Tang Zhenhua personally sent him out. This kind of treatment is rare in the Capital Museum, but Tang Zhenhua thinks that the other party is really worthy of what Li Dacheng has done.

Not far from the Beijing Museum, Li Dacheng stopped on the side of the road, took out his mobile phone to find a number, and pressed it. Soon, the call was connected.

"Li, is that you?" A voice full of surprise came from the microphone.

Li Dacheng was taken aback when he heard it, looked at the number he dialed on his mobile phone, and after confirming that he had dialed correctly, he said, "Lao Luo, don't scare me. I can't stand your sudden enthusiasm for me." .”

That's right, this call was made to Rossi. I remember that when we went out to sea together, the two cursed each other a lot. They haven't seen each other for a few months, so why did the voice change?

"Li, is it really you? Why did you call me suddenly? Have you arrived in Italy? Where are you? I'll pick you up right now." Rossi said eagerly.

"It's just a phone call. As for being so excited? Also, I'm in Huaxia, so I don't care about the country." Li Dacheng said, he really couldn't stand Rossi's enthusiasm for a while, but he was still able to deal with the other party's changes. I understand, in fact, the other party is not passionate about him, but passionate about going out to sea to salvage treasures.

"Oh." Rossi responded with a bit of disappointment in his voice.

"Tell you something." Li Dacheng ignored Rossi's change in attitude and continued, "Do you still remember the ancient shipwreck we salvaged in the Indian Ocean?"

"Didn't we salvage several ships in the Indian Ocean?"

"I'm talking about the biggest one, the best preserved one."

"I remember, what do you want?"

"Use your ocean-going salvage fleet to help me tow the sunken ship and its contents to Huaxia." Li Dacheng said the purpose of the call.

"What? Drag it to Huaxia? What do you want to do?" Rossi asked curiously. During the months of salvage, most of the sunken ships were re-thrown into the sea after searching for the treasures on them, and only a few Several ships were brought back to the port by the salvage ship. At that time, he wondered, what's the use of keeping those broken ships, let alone dragging them from England to China.

"I told you that you don't understand, so you just do what I tell you. Don't worry, you will have to pay the rent." Li Dacheng didn't bother to explain to Rossi.

"Li, I'm not happy when you say that. What's the relationship between us? We're relatives. You're my brother-in-law. How can I collect your rent for such a trivial matter? My brother-in-law will help you out for a while. What can I do? Besides, I also want to visit Huaxia." Rossi suddenly changed the subject and called Li Dacheng very intimately.

But Li Dacheng felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and his skin got goosebumps, "Don't call me brother-in-law, your sister and I are innocent."

"Isn't that something that will happen sooner or later?" Rossi said with a smile, his voice sounded as if the tortoise in the ancient spring garden was introducing the girls in the garden to the guests, and he was extremely attentive. "Brother-in-law, you have been back to Huaxia for a few months, shouldn't it be time to come back and continue our great cause of salvaging treasure?"

Depend on!
Li Dacheng secretly compared Rossi who betrayed his sister in his heart, and he knew that the other party must be doing it for this matter, "Haven't you already received a lot of treasure? You can't be too greedy, besides, things on my side have not yet It's over."

"I got a lot, but I didn't listen to you. In order to change my father's impression of me, did I hand over all those treasures to the family? To tell you the truth, my father summoned me secretly a few days ago. Big brother Enrique, I heard from the servants at home that Enrique was taken into the family secret room by his father. Although he didn’t know what was said inside, Enrique was very happy when he came out. According to a close aide of my father Tell me that my father has decided to hand over the head of the family to Enrique."

"It's normal to hand over the family business to the eldest son." Li Dacheng said lightly. Even if this matter is put in the country, it is reasonable and reasonable. This is also the best choice to prevent the children from competing for the family property and causing the family to split.

"The problem is that Enrique is ruthless. If he inherits the position of the patriarch of the family, he will definitely eliminate dissidents and deprive me of the fleet in my hands. At that time, I am afraid that I will really spend the rest of my life on an isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean."

Li Dacheng frowned at this moment. If the ocean-going salvage fleet was deprived of what Rossi said, who would he cooperate with in the future?There are many treasures waiting for him in the sea.

"Even if your father handed over the position of patriarch to your eldest brother, you are still his son, so it wouldn't be the case that he would give you nothing?" Li Dacheng asked.

"You don't know this. In order to maintain the authority of the patriarch and maintain the prosperity of the entire family, after the patriarch is determined, other brothers and sisters will be removed from the core business of the patriarch. I heard that Fred, that is, The third child in my family is about to be assigned by his father to a fish canning factory in Northern Europe. You must know that Fred used to be in charge of the shipyard, which is one of the main industries in the family." Rossi said, "In order not to be caught Distributed to farther places, during these days I handed in many boxes of treasures, every time my father was very happy, but he didn’t say anything except praise, and the treasures in my hands are running out, if you don’t come back , I guess I don’t even have pension money.”

"Damn, so much wealth can't let your father pass on the position of patriarch to you? The ones you got, at least a few hundred million euros, right?"

"Enrique is in charge of all the underground business of the family. Do you know how much money it will bring to the family in a year? It's more than a few billion euros." Rossi said while sighing.

"A few billion euros is nothing. I can fill up the Tiber River with money, don't you believe it?" Li Dacheng said dismissively.

"What's the use of my letter, you have to give it to me, so that my father and the family can see it."

"Nonsense, I'm not with you, why should I give you my money?"

"I'm your brother-in-law."

"Get out!" Li Dacheng cursed angrily, but this matter really can't be taken lightly, he really has to think about it seriously, "Well, I will go to Italy in a few days, if your father really wants the patriarch If you leave the position to your elder brother, then we really have to leave a way out for ourselves."

"You come? That's great." Rossi said excitedly.

"Don't be too happy, have you done everything I asked you to do before I left?" Li Dacheng asked.

"Don't worry, we are working on it, and it will definitely be completed in another month." Rossi said.

"If you delay this matter, then you will really spend the rest of your life on an isolated island."
