The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Zhang Nan had come into contact with a large number of tin ingots when he was a purchaser of the Materials Bureau, but those ingots were 25 kg plus or minus 1 kg in weight. However, brother-in-law Xiang Weirong had a tin ingot at home. It was brought from Gejiu, Yunnan Province in the 1970s. When I came back, the weight was 37 kg.

This Hui Guan Xingquan was looking at one of the tin ingots he had picked up, "Similar to the squad leader's house, dead!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nan thought of something and smiled and said: "Brother Guan, I heard from my brother-in-law that you and him got the thing back together. As a result, it was used by the conductor as a secret **** mission?"

Xiang Weirong’s family used to have a pure tin ingot weighing 37 kilograms. In the memory of Zhang Nan’s last life, he sold it to the person in charge of a small township collective enterprise in the 1980s: that year, the supply of tin ingots was insufficient, and some did not have a supply target. Small businesses even buy a few kilograms of pure tin at a time.

Which person in charge has a friend to entrust this to Xiang Weirong, wondering if he can get a little indicator, even if there is no indicator, getting tens of kilograms in an emergency is just a quick charcoal.

However, the near thirst cannot be quenched by the far distance, and the material bureau is temporarily out of stock-the welding in that factory cannot be stopped for a day, and finally the tin ingot from the brother-in-law's house is bought for emergency.

37 kilograms, sold a lot of money, brother-in-law talked about this, Zhang Nan remembered clearly, I don’t know if he has sold it now.

Zhang Nan remembered buying a good price, and remembering more clearly how this tin ingot was moved back, this would be the matter that Xingquan was talking about.

"Trouble, almost didn't tire us two and a half to death!

More than ten years ago, the price of pure tin on the market was very different from the index price. We had an old recruit in one of our platoons, bragging that we could get as much pure tin ingots at a fair price. In the end, the monitor said that you have the skills to get me a piece. Next time I go home to visit relatives, I can also make a small amount of money. When I get married, I can also let tinsmiths make tin cans and tin pots. The smelter produces pure tin without lead. Safety.

In fact, the squad leader was just joking. Everyone didn't take it seriously. Besides, it shouldn't be troublesome to get a few kilograms.

I didn't think that this kid is not only a melon-baby, this family really has some skills, when visiting relatives, he really carried a piece of 37 kilograms back to the monitor, and he did not crush him to death on the road!

The factory's internal ex-factory price seemed to be 13 yuan per kilogram, but the monitor asked me to borrow 150 yuan when he bought tin ingots, so that we spent all the money that we finally saved..."

Speaking of the past, Guan Xingquan is also laughing: Nearly 500 yuan, that would be a huge sum of money!

But Xiang Weirong didn't sell it after visiting relatives home. The reason is simple: after transferring to the car unit, even if it is cheaper than the public, there is a way to get yourself some pure tin welding rods for making tin cans and tin pots.

"At that time you didn't even think about saving some for yourself?"

When Zhang Nan asked this question, Guan Xingquan smiled even more: "I don't want it. At that time, the monitor and his sister-in-law had already decided on a match, and he was waiting for another year or two to get married, so that it would be useful to bring it home.

Even if you can’t use it for yourself, you don’t have to worry about selling it when you move back, and you can still make some money..."

Well, Guan Xingquan has a good relationship with her brother-in-law, nothing to say!

"As a result, at the end of that year, I went home to visit relatives with the squad leader, and used a sack to carry the thing on the train. The conductor on the train thought that we were soldiers in charge of secretly escorting gold, so we specially arranged for us to go to the sleeping berth. Don’t even want us to add money, even a few meals are delivered by the conductor for free.

The squad leader Jianghu did not explain that he brought a piece of tin, and slept in Shanghai comfortably for two days. "

The proportion of pure tin is actually less than half that of gold, but as long as 10% of the ingot, let alone carrying it, you will feel dead when watching others mention it, and it is normal for the staff on the train to take the initiative to be deceived.

Imagine two soldiers in military uniforms carrying backpacks and carrying a dead but small sack on the train, and there are other soldiers on the platform who are sending off to the station, which will always make people feel a little reminiscent.

The tin ingots before the 1980s weighed 37 kilograms, which Zhang Nan and Guan Guan remember clearly. In fact, this situation is not only the case in China, but also in Southeast Asia half a century ago. For example, the famous Awamaru-the navy organized the salvage of this sunken ship from 1977 to 1980, although there was no gold in it. , But 3,000 tons of tin ingots are 37 kilograms per ingot.

As for why the weight of 37 kilograms is not high enough, Zhang Nan doesn't know the reason. Maybe it was because the model was so big in the first place, and it has become an international standard.

There will be heavy tin ingots being lifted up by cranes, and the divers below not only have to fight against the strong water pressure, but also have to do physical work, which is hard enough!

Captain Jamie Bostwick and diving captain Vita Bruno discussed the next salvage plan to see what necessary equipment should be added.

Zhang Nan didn't understand this, so he asked.

Bruno explained, "...We used to deal with ancient wooden sunken ships in the previous salvage. There was only one set of underwater oxygen cutting equipment, and there was no underwater blasting material.

The torpedo opening on the sunken ship is unreliable. It is at most used as a channel for exploration. If you want to get all the things inside, you have to unload the sunken ship by a large amount of money~www.readwn.com~Zhang Nan frowned and asked, "How about the cost? I'm talking about the overall salvage cost."

It’s not about the price of the equipment. Those things can be used elsewhere. But since it's a business, you can't make a profit for two or three years. As a result, the cost becomes higher than the salvage fee and the loss is large.

"At least 5 to 10 times more profit."

"Then prepare. You can make a list for the company to purchase. If Indonesia and Malaysia do not have it, they will be directly dispatched from the United States. The ship below will not necessarily surprise us."

Is it just pure tin?

The ship below is not an ore ship and will not only transport one kind of material.

Speaking of possible surprises, the divers below reported that they had new discoveries.

After a while, the salvage basket was put on the deck again, and Zhang Nan had already ran to the back of the cargo ship's bridge-there were not only a few tin ingots in the basket, but also a few steel-gray metal sticks. , There is no rust on the top.

Zhang Nan is required to hide away. This is the standard security operation method when encountering unknown objects or substances: the previous tin ingots are not used, because there are many things in the sunken ship, even if you are not sure what it is under the water, you will know more. There will be no danger.

A crew member was holding a Geiger counter. When the gondola appeared on the deck, he didn't react much. The counter did not react much when it was close to the counter. The value was similar to that of the "Shark" itself.

The buddy stretched out his hand and roared, "Safe!"

It's not a radioactive substance. The Little Devil's nuclear technology during World War II was not so good-but the metal rods that had been soaked in the sea for decades did not rust, so we had to guard against it.

"what is this?"

Zhang Nan holds one in his hand, it is very heavy, and its specific gravity is at least twice that of tin, and it will soon be able to catch up with gold!
