Big Islander 2

Chapter 118 The wolf is here

Tang Jide, who was sleeping, was awakened by a knock on the door. He was barefoot and wearing big pants to open the door.It was just getting bright outside, and it was Marquez standing at the door.

"It's positive enough. It's not bad to get up so early to exercise." Tang Jide nodded his head in a daze to show his approval.

Marquez looked eager: "No, no, I just received a note from Russia, saying that the platinum we salvaged originally belonged to their country, and according to the salvage law, they should also occupy a certain share!"

Tang Jide couldn't help scratching the back of his head: "The polar bear's claws are long enough. These platinums have been silent in the sea for decades. Why haven't they been salvaged? Now I want to get a share, there is no way!"

At this time, Xiao Xiami was also woken up, and came to check on the movement.After hearing about this, the little girl blinked her eyes: "I'm afraid Great Britain will also extend its hand. The news spread so quickly, it must be those who want to pay for it behind the scenes."

"These guys just don't want to eat grapes. I'll ask them to do good deeds, and I'll let them all turn into green-haired people!" Tang Jide was also angry.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Xiao Xiami: "Uncle Datou, fire cannot be contained in paper. Sooner or later, the story of our salvage of platinum will spread all over the world. And there will definitely be many such incidents in the future. We should follow the international practice." Well, let’s establish our reputation as the world’s number one salvage team on Peach Blossom Island, and others will definitely line up to cooperate with us in the future.”

What Xiao Xiami said is not unreasonable. Since he is about to become a member of the global village, there are still some rules that must be followed; but Tang Jide feels a little bit pained: Who doesn’t feel bad when the real money is distributed?
"Then ask Lao Deng to hold a press conference on Hong Kong Island. There are nearly [-] tons of platinum worth more than one billion US dollars. This is definitely the largest salvage in the history of salvage." Tang Jide felt that Lao Deng was a little busy recently, so he gave He arranged for an appearance.In addition, with so much platinum, you have to find a buyer.

Of course, these matters were handed over to Xiao Xiami, who mainly used the Internet to send some photos.In the photo, Tang Jide is standing in front of Jinshan with a smirk on his face, holding a shiny gold ingot with one hand.The platinum in the background still looks very shocking.

Even the pheasant praised repeatedly after watching it: "It's not bad, it's a bit like blowing up a bunker--"

On the same day, I received news from Great Britain, and of course they also asked for money.Marquez and Tang Jide jointly responded: In principle, they agree to the requirements of the two countries, but the specific share needs to be negotiated.

After some contact, it was decided to choose Hong Kong Island as the venue for the negotiation.Time was running out, and Tang Jide and his party could not stay in Nauru any longer, and they went to Hong Kong Island together with Marquez.

Before leaving, Marquez also graciously asked the people: "You must not be lazy. From now on, hard work is the creed of every Nauruan!"

And solemnly changed the national motto "God's will determines everything" to "hard work determines everything".Believe in this change, Nauru will definitely appear in front of the world with a brand new look.

Taking the plane up to the sky and looking down at the small island in the blue, Tang Jide also had infinite emotions in his heart.He has also traveled to many places, except for Africa, even here is the most emotional place, because of their arrival, changes have been made, isn't this the value of survival?

In other countries, although there are small gains, they do not have this sense of belonging. Only in the rich but poor land of Africa, and Nauru, which is almost the same as Peach Blossom Island, Tang Jide found a feeling of "friends".It seems that the exchanges between countries are roughly the same as making friends with people, and the difference in strength is too great to be true friends.

After turning around in Australia, Tang Jide finally figured out this problem, which also gave Tang Jide a clearer understanding of the future development of Peach Blossom Island.

The current Peach Blossom Island is also crossing the river by feeling the stones. Although the general direction is determined, fine-tuning must be made while walking, so as not to go on a crooked or evil path.

After moving to Hong Kong Island, the first stop was of course the Ocean Treasure Museum. Brother Datou hadn’t seen He Tiantian for several months, so he had to relieve the pain of lovesickness first.

Compared with the previous period, the number of visitors to the Treasure Hall has decreased slightly, but it has remained at more than a thousand visitors every day, and the income is quite considerable.Coupled with the monthly auction, some funds can also be withdrawn.If this development continues, it is estimated that the cost will be paid back in two or three years.

Like the tourism industry of Taohua Island, this kind of long-term sustainable development project is the pillar industry of Taohua Island in the future.Property drawn from other countries is, after all, a one-off sale, a source of water, windfall.

Of course, such a project also needs time to accumulate, so the pharmaceutical industry and the mining industry are currently bringing the greatest benefits to Peach Blossom Island. Together, the annual funding of several billion yuan is still guaranteed.For a small place like Peach Blossom Island, this is not too small.It's just that there is a lot of waste to be done now, and money is needed everywhere, so it seems a bit stretched.

But Brother Datou is not in a hurry, he just answered the sentence: the future is bright.

When Brother Datou came to the Treasure Hall full of hope, he was in vain. Little Sister Tiantian went back to Treasure Island to visit relatives these few days, and the important task of presiding over the work of the Treasure Hall fell to the head of the second senior brother for the time being.As soon as he saw Tang Jide, the second senior brother took his arm: "Big head, you are too lazy, you just know to hide on the island to enjoy the happiness. Take a stroll if you have nothing to do, and salvage more sunken ships. There are no auctions now." What an eye-catching lot—"

Slapping Zhu Guang's wretched paw away, Tang Jide hecked a few times: "Just finished a big deal, contact Lao Deng immediately, and hold another press conference!"

When the second senior brother heard this, he immediately lifted his spirits, and he felt the pattern: as long as Lao Deng comes out, it must be news that will cause a sensation in the world.

Perhaps because he has been worried about retaliation from the United States, Snowden's whereabouts are secretive. He and his girlfriend are both spies. In addition, he lives in seclusion and rarely shows up except when holding press conferences, so it is difficult for others to find him. .

However, Zhu Guang had a one-way connection with Lao Deng, so the news that Lao Deng was going to hold a press conference three days later spread out that afternoon.Regarding the press conference held by Taohua Island, the media loves and hates it, but no matter how you feel, you still have to respond positively, because past facts have proved that every time there will be a blockbuster.

So in people's expectations, the press conference arrived as scheduled.The location is still the auction hall of the Treasure Hall, and the entrance fee that has been criticized by the media is still charged.However, what was different from the past was that this time, there was a row of people sitting at the front desk, and the composition was more complicated.

Some well-informed reporters have already recognized that there are representatives from Russia and Great Britain present, and the big fat man with brown skin is the representative of Nauru.And the shirtless one in the middle is naturally the maverick island owner of Peach Blossom Island.

So before the press conference started, the media with a keen sense of smell felt an unusual atmosphere, and couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts anymore.

Lao Deng appeared on the stage wearing glasses. Under the nourishment of love, this guy looked younger and changed from his original appearance of a bereaved dog.

After a brief opening remark, Lao Deng got to the point. The big screen first played some information about the sunken ship. When it turned to the photo of Tang Jide standing in front of Jinshan and holding the "dynamite bag", the audience burst into unison. exclamation.

"This salvage operation was a successful deep-sea salvage jointly carried out by Taohua Island and Nauru, and a total of 70 tons of platinum were salvaged. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the international salvage law, we invited representatives from Russia and the United Kingdom. Hold four-party negotiations to jointly discuss the ownership of this batch of platinum. Next, enter the free question time." Snowden is very satisfied with this result. In terms of influence, he is now much more famous than the White House spokesperson.

The representatives of the media are still immersed in the huge wealth and cannot extricate themselves. This is the most successful salvage in history and the largest amount of wealth.Of course, there are too many doubts in this.So when Lao Deng asked to ask questions freely, hundreds of arms were raised in unison at the venue.

As the saying goes, the ones who are close to the water get the moon first, of course Lao Deng first picked a media representative from Hong Kong Island.The female reporter obviously felt that she had been hit by luck, and she stuttered a bit, but she expressed her meaning very clearly: "Mr. Tang Jide, how did you determine the location of the sunken ship? Can you disclose some salvage details? "

This legendary treasure hunting process is sure to attract people's attention, so representatives from other countries have no objection to the lady who won the top spot.

Of course, Tang Jide was also prepared, so he nodded cheerfully: "Our Taohua Island has the best ocean exploration and salvage team, definitely the best in the world, with low cost, no pollution, no risk, and sincerely hope to cooperate with the world. Countries communicate and jointly salvage the sunken ships on the seabed, so that they can be seen again.”

Boos rang out from below, giving strong contempt to this practice of taking the opportunity to advertise.In particular, some media from developed countries have always been at the forefront of the marine salvage industry, so they sneered at Tang Jide's statement: Maybe some shit luck happened, and the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, so it is true!

Tang Jide was not moved by the boos at all, he curled his lips, and then signaled the big screen to start playing a video.This was shot underwater. In the picture, there are groups of giant octopuses, with platinum ingots wrapped around their arms and feet, roaming in the sea——

This couldn't have been filmed in Hollywood—the reporters were stunned.Others with foresight exclaimed in their hearts: Wolves are coming!

These giant octopuses are more terrifying than wolves.Because they can also quietly salvage shipwrecks in the waters of other countries, leaving only an empty shell of the shipwreck——
