After watching the birds and fish leave his perspective one after another and head towards the depths of the Pacific Ocean, Tang Songyuan finally drove the Pipi Shrimp back.
Ever since Zheng Yinan's pirate treasure was found on the uninhabited island, Tang, Song and Yuan felt that there was more than just the bottom of the sea.
There may be even more valuable treasures buried on some uninhabited islands.
Historically, pirates, big and small, who traveled all over the world have left behind countless legends of pirate treasures.
And these treasures that countless treasure hunters are flocking to are unlikely to be at the bottom of the sea.
That can only be on countless islands in the vast sea.
For example, Cocos Island in the Pacific Ocean is 483 kilometers away from the coast of Costa Rica. According to legend, there are at least 6 pirate treasures on the island that have not yet been discovered.
According to relevant historical records, the total value of these treasures is as high as 20 billion francs, which is approximately equivalent to 160 billion yuan.
Therefore, although the probability of treasure hunting on the island is not high, if you find one casually, the harvest will be much higher than salvage from the bottom of the sea.
However, there are countless islands in the ocean. In the Pacific Ocean alone, there are more than 20,000 of them, at least half of which are uninhabited islands.
But how long will it take to find the ten seabirds from the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties alone?
And these seabirds only have ten days left.
So on the way back, Tang Songyuan discussed with Li Qingying:
"Tell me, about the great pirates recorded in history, can we use historical records to calculate the approximate scope of the treasures they may have hidden?"
"In this way, will our search be more clear and faster?"
Li Qingying, who was playing with her mobile phone, her eyes lit up, she gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile:
"This is a good idea, and it is much better than searching aimlessly before, like looking for a needle in a haystack!"
So she immediately started searching for information on the Internet, and soon got the results.
She said: "The closest one to us is Shepan Island in Sanmen Bay off the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is said to be a treasure trove where pirates of all ages have hidden treasures."
"But now it has been developed into a tourist attraction..."
What are you talking about?
Tang Songyuan said angrily: "What I want is someone with potential that has not yet been explored."
"Is it possible that you and I are going to dig for treasures in tourist areas with shovels?"
Li Qingying covered her mouth and chuckled: "Just kidding..."
Then you looked at the information on your phone and said: "Then there is Nan'ao Island on the sea where the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan meet."
"It is said that a great pirate named Wu Ping buried more than a thousand tons of gold on the island."
"The Jiajing period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty was the heyday of pirates, and Wu Ping was one of the many pirate leaders active on Nan'ao Island."
"Later, before General Qi Jiguang wiped out Wu Ping, he quietly transported the gold he had collected over the past decades to Nan'ao Island in eighteen large ships and buried it, waiting for a comeback in the future."
"But before Wu Ping could make a comeback, he died in the naval battle."
"There is also a 20-character riddle left behind: 'My road leads north and south, and the east and west are hidden in the earth's crust. When the water rises, it cannot be covered, but when the water dries up, it will cover three feet.'..."
"However, more than 400 years have passed, and no one has been able to solve this mystery, let alone find the hiding place of these thousands of tons of gold."
Tang Songyuan frowned slightly and said, "I think your legend is even more nonsense. There are people living on Nan'ao Island now."
"And the pirates of the Ming Dynasty started to use tons as the unit of measurement?"
Li Qingying curled her lips and said, "That's what the Internet says!"
Tang Songyuan chuckled and said, "Thanks to you, you have become an Internet celebrity. Can you easily believe things on the Internet?"
"History may be true, but the water content in it is open to question."
Li Qingying made a face at him and said, "I grew up in Myanmar. Isn't it normal that I don't know much about the country's history?"
Tang, Song and Yuan also expressed their understanding of this. This girl is of mixed Chinese and Burmese descent and may not have really studied Chinese history.
"It seems that after I go back, I need to find someone who understands history to understand it carefully."
Return to the port and moor the yacht.
Li Qingying started the car and asked: "Boss, where are we going now?"
Tang Songyuan sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt and said, "Let's go to Songyuan Capital and have a look."
The bustling street scene of the Magic City was retreating rapidly outside the car window. Tang Songyuan looked at the billboards flashing by the roadside from time to time, and couldn't help but smile:
"Poly moved really fast, renting so many billboards in one go."
"Obviously, we have placed a lot of stakes in this special shoot for our prosperous Tang Dynasty..."
These billboards mainly promote the special auction events organized by Poly Auction House at Shengtang Auction House, with photos and introductions of various porcelain, ancient coins, gemstones and other auction items printed on them.
Some billboards even zoom in on some particularly valuable items to attract more people's attention.
The locations of these billboards are very conspicuous and can be seen at a glance, whether in the city center or in the business district.
Li Qingying said with a smile: "Not only that, I also saw that Poly has released a large number of advertisements on major online platforms, including FaCebOOk and inS abroad."
"It should be attracting the attention of some international buyers. After all, there is still a huge market for gold coin collections in Europe and the United States."
"Poly should open an online channel by then so that European and American buyers can participate in the auction simultaneously."
"I estimate that Poly will spend at least 100 million just on advertising..."
Tang Songyuan nodded and said with emotion: "Poly has really spent a lot of money this time. It can be seen that they are very confident in this special shooting event."
Li Qingying laughed softly and said: "It's not that I have confidence in this special shoot, but I have confidence in the treasures provided by Shengtang."
Tang Songyuan chuckled and said, "Then it depends on the auction at the end of December."
Soon, the two arrived at the office building of Song Yuan Capital.
Not long after Tang Songyuan sat down in his office, Shen Xinghai came in with a happy face and reported:
"Mr. Tang, good news!"
"As the news of the arrest of Zhang's key members spread, the share price of Zhang's Group plummeted. We made a lot of money this time!"
Tang Songyuan smiled happily and said, "I see how excited you are. Sit down and talk slowly."
"How much did you earn exactly?"
Shen Xinghai followed his words and sat down on the chair opposite Tang Songyuan, and said: "Conservative estimates suggest that we made at least more than 200 million from short selling Zhang this time..."
The Zhang Group does not have much circulating capital in the secondary market, so these 200 million should be the limit.
Tang Songyuan hummed and said, "Just close it when it's good, and close the position as soon as possible."
