McCauley suddenly said: "So that's it. I can promise you this. When can your company's salvage team set off?"
Tang Songyuan smiled slightly and said: "The fleet has just returned from the Atlantic Ocean. It should not have passed through the Strait of Gibraltar yet. It is expected to take about two days."
"I will ask our manager Li to contact you then..."
Then the two parties signed a joint salvage agreement, stipulating the responsibilities, obligations and distribution principles of both parties.
As long as the salvage team returns, Tang, Song and Yuan can legally salvage the remains of these three sunken ships in French waters.
After sending Macaulay away, Tang Songyuan asked Li Qingying to find people from the sales department and ask how the company handled salvaged items in the past.
The head of the sales department is a white woman in her forties named Margery Djibouti. She is slightly stout, has naturally curly blond hair, has a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, and speaks with a rather loud voice.
"Normally, we send shipwreck salvaged items to the Saint-Anne flea market in Marseille or Paris," she said.
"The more expensive ones are sent to Drouot Auction House or Rossini Auction House for auction. If the quantity is not large, they can also be sent to a few familiar antique shops for them to evaluate and purchase... ..."
Richardson has been running this company for decades and has always had relatively mature sales channels.
Drouot and Rossini Auction Houses are both French auction houses with relatively strong capabilities.
Tang, Song and Yuan had no intention of changing anything. Xiao Gui and Cao Sui could just sell it through normal channels.
He said: "Okay, let's sell the gold coins, emeralds, silver ingots and other harvests we brought back last night in the same way as before."
"Those silver ingots may need to be recast. You can contact the manufacturer to recast them and sell them."
The weight of those silver ingots is about one ton, and after they are all recast, it will be a huge profit.
Two days later, the fleet led by the Harvest Horn safely returned to the Port of Marseille. After a short rest and supplies,
Under the arrangements of Tang Songyuan and Li Qingying, they left the port again and headed towards the first shipwreck discovered by Tang Songyuan in the Mediterranean area.
This is an Arabian-style sunken ship that has been under the sea for hundreds of years, and now it is finally about to see the light of day again.
At least the goods inside have a chance to realize their value again.
At 1:10 p.m., the fleet arrived at the area guided by Tang, Song and Yuan.
Macaulay, deputy minister of the Marseille branch of the Ministry of Maritime Management, also arrived at the scene on a public ship.
From a distance of dozens of meters, Tang, Song and Yuan waved to him, and then asked Li Qingying to give Julian an order through the walkie-talkie, asking the divers to go into the water to conduct a preliminary exploration of the wreckage.
Beard and Maxi, who were still the strongest, were the first to enter the water. They carried scuba gear on their backs and fully armed with a beautiful jump into the sea.
At this time, the water surface was relatively calm. Tang Songyuan opened his perspective and paid close attention to the progress of the two men's exploration.
Fifty meters...one hundred meters...two hundred meters...
When they reached a depth of about 200 meters, Beard and Maxi felt that their bodies were beginning to be overwhelmed.
But the two of them were still more than a hundred meters away from the bottom of the sea.
The dark and vast underwater world, huge water pressure and ultra-low water temperature caused the two to endure both physical and mental torture.
Finally, when he was still eighty meters away from the bottom of the sea, Maxi couldn't bear it any longer. He made a few gestures to Beard and then slowly floated toward the surface.
The process of surfacing should not be too fast, otherwise there is a risk of causing deep diving decompression sickness.
Beard gritted his teeth and dived another twenty meters to the bottom of the sea, but that was all.
He had a hunch that if he dived further, he might not be able to come back. After hesitating at this depth for five seconds, Beard reluctantly decided to give up.
You can't risk your own life by creating benefits for your boss, so like Maxi, he slowly floated towards the water.
On the Harvest Bugle at this time. Many crew members and workers were lying on the side of the ship staring at the water with great anticipation.
Suddenly, a crew member pointed excitedly at the water and shouted: "Come out, Beard and the others are out."
Julian quickly ordered a few sailors to pick up Maxi.
After a while, Beard also surfaced, boarded the boat that picked them up with Maxi, and returned to the Harvest Horn with a depressed look on his face.
With the help of several sailors, they took off their heavy scuba. Beard looked at Captain Julian with an expectant look on his face and sighed: "Captain, this water is too damn deep. My previous limit depth is 240 meters, today I dived 260 meters for a long time but I still can’t see the bottom of the sea.”
"I estimate that the depth of the sea here is at least 300 meters..."
“300 meters!!!”
There was a gasp of air from all around, and the crew and sailors around them all opened their eyes wide, as if they had heard something incredible. You know, under the leadership of Richardson, they were only one or two hundred meters away. For salvage operations, the maximum depth of two hundred meters is their ultimate depth.
But the shipwreck discovered by the new boss was at a depth of more than 300 meters, which was already beyond their capabilities.
But after returning from the Atlantic Ocean, they all agreed that this new boss must be a magical person who can lead everyone to make a fortune. How could they give up in the face of a little difficulty at this time?
But Beard was already the strongest diving member among them, so he thought it was impossible. Who among the others could still do it?
For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say, and all focused their attention on Captain Julian's face.
Julian's face was also full of entanglements. He really wanted to show his team members and his own abilities in front of the new boss, and try his best to complete every salvage mission, but in the end he still felt that the lives of his team members were more important.
He picked up the walkie-talkie with difficulty and was about to report the situation to Tang Songyuan, but he didn't expect that Tang Songyuan had already taken Li Qingying on a small boat and also came to the Harvest Horn.
"What's wrong? Everyone's morale doesn't seem to be very high..."
Julian hurriedly went up to him and reported to Tang Songyuan that Beard had discovered that the depth of the sunken shipwreck was over 300 meters, which exceeded the physical limits of the divers.
But there was no trace of disappointment on Tang Songyuan's face. Instead, he said to Julian with a calm and relaxed expression: "Give me a set of scuba equipment, and I'll go down and see for myself..."
