Zhu Yu immediately decided to transfer to Nanyang.
Yes, Nanyang.
According to the news sent by Chen Yonghao, Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and three others to Indonesia and found Chen Yonghao.
According to his idea, he wanted Joanna to come with him. As for going to school, you can definitely take some leave first.
However, Joanna was unwilling. She was very obsessed with her credits. In New York, she would occasionally finish school early or postpone classes, and it would be fine if she missed one or two less important classes.
But once she has to leave for too long, she doesn't want to.
Zhu Yu had no choice but to wait.
In fact, he saw the scenery here on the Internet, especially the clear water, white and clean beaches, and small islands of various shapes. I want to enjoy the scenery here with Joanna and have fun.
Treasure hunting, it can be treated as a secondary task.
But since Joanna didn't come, Zhu Yu regarded treasure hunting as a formal mission.
In Jakarta, Zhu Yu met Chen Yonghao.
Indonesia is a tropical island country. When they got off the plane, Zhu Yu and the four of them changed their clothes - they really didn't feel comfortable with it.
Chen Yonghao took them to a small courtyard to settle down.
It can be seen that Chen Yonghao is very excited.
"You guys sit down first, I'll get some fruit." Chen Yonghao was a little embarrassed. In fact, he still didn't believe what Zhu Yu said.
He didn't expect the other party to come like this, and he was not prepared at all.
Over the years, Chen Yonghao has been looking for partners everywhere and suffered a lot. Although he did not give up hope in the end, Chen Yonghao was a little depressed due to the torment and his family resources were empty.
"No, no, no." Zhu Yu saw Chen Yonghao's embarrassment and hurriedly stopped him, "You're welcome, let's talk about the situation first."
He had to evaluate whether this treasure hunt mission could be carried out.
Chen Yonghao could see Zhu Yu's thoughts and understood that the other party was helping him get out of his predicament. He glanced at Zhu Yu gratefully, poured water for the four of them, and began to talk about his own situation.
Chen Yonghao's ancestors were heroes who came to Nanyang from the southeastern provinces and can be traced back to before the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, there were many people going to Nanyang, some to make money, and some to fight for a better future.
This was not the case with Chen Yonghao's ancestors. They are grounded.
As early as the Song Dynasty, China's maritime trade was very developed, and many people came to Nanyang. In the Ming Dynasty, many sea traders and pirates mingled together. Some of them were owners of large estates in Southeast Asia, and many of their ancestors were Chinese.
】
Chen Yonghao's ancestors went to Nanyang to join relatives. Although the Western maritime powers had already colonized Nanyang at that time, they were beyond their reach on some islands, so they just let it go.
Chen Yonghao's ancestor was smart and flexible. He started a spice business by relying on the spice trees on the island. He soon made a fortune, and then bought the island himself, intending to become a happy island owner.
But what surprised everyone was that there was a gold mine on the island he bought. Although it was not big, for ordinary people, it was already a huge wealth!
He knew very well that the news could not be leaked out, as the locals could not be trusted and were not suitable for work, so he went to the coast of Guangdong and recruited a group of people to come over to dig for gold.
In more than ten years, the gold mines have been mined in the places where it is easier to mine, and the Chen family has become a hidden rich man.
At this time, the red-haired ghosts exploited the local indigenous people more and more severely, and also oppressed the Chinese who owned manors too much.
The Chen family discussed together and finally decided to transport the gold mined over the years and the wealth accumulated back to the country, buy land, become landlords, and live peacefully.
Just because the family property is relatively large and it would be troublesome to move out, we left in batches.
Unexpectedly, the news was leaked, and the most precious ship of gold disappeared into the vast sea one day after leaving port.
The Chen family also lost two-thirds of its population, with only the elderly, weak, women and children surviving.
But without any savings, it was difficult to return to the mainland, so I stopped at a port in Indochina, sold my boat, and bought a piece of land to spend my days hard.
Fortunately, the Chinese are diligent, and soon the younger generations of the Chen family grew up and their lives became better.
But the disappearance of their ancestors is unclear, and it is impossible for them not to think about where the ship of gold sank.
Therefore, generations of the Chen family have regarded it as a long-cherished wish to find the whereabouts of their ancestors and find gold.
Until Chen Yonghao's generation, on the one hand, he inherited the results of the efforts of previous generations, and on the other hand, he spent a lot of energy and time to purchase and consult the records of the Red Mao Yi's naval battles in Nanyang during that period.
Finally, one was found. At that time, a warship of a certain Ya found a civilian ship near an island in Nanyang. It fired cannons and shouted to stop the ship for inspection. As a result, the ship resisted and was eventually sunk.
Afterwards, a man on the boat was salvaged, claiming his surname was Chen. He then tried to steal a soldier's musket and escaped, but was shot dead in the port.
Although there was only such a little record, Chen Yonghao combined with other clues and finally determined that the sunken ship was the ship that the Chen family used to transport gold!
Chen Yonghao was sure, but others did not believe him.
Given the greed of a certain Liangya at that time, how could he not inspect such a fully loaded ship?
Even if it sinks, it will definitely be salvaged.
Besides, one person was rescued? With their level of hostility towards the Chinese, how could they not interrogate them? How could the interrogation fail to produce results?
So even if he looked for partners everywhere and even raised his share of the profit from 73 to 55, no one was willing to cooperate with him.
What makes Chen Yonghao sad is that no one even kidnapped him and forced him to tell the approximate location of the sunken ship!
Is there no one in the world who believes what he said and believes that this sunken ship is real?
This situation not only failed to make Chen Yonghao lose confidence, but actually aroused his anger:
He must find the sunken treasure and slap those who don't believe in him in the face!
After hearing this, Zhu Yu was silent for a moment and suddenly asked:
"where is your family?"
Chen Yonghao smiled bitterly:
"Where do I still have family? I am the last person in the Chen family. I am not married..."
Looking at this man who looked at least in his forties, Zhu Yu thought to himself, you can't let the Chen family die, right?
It's also possible that finding the family treasure has become his obsession, and if he can't find it, he probably won't be in the mood to get married.
After understanding the matter, Zhu Yu thought for a while and asked again:
"Is that place far from here?"
"It's not close anyway." Chen Yonghao said a little vaguely.
Zhu Yu understood that it was impossible for him to report the information to Zhu Yu as soon as he arrived. That was something only a fool could do.
"This is what I think." Zhu Yu simply said openly:
"I basically agree to cooperate with you. Now let's prepare the things and I will provide the funds. Of course, it is not anything complicated. It mainly involves renting a ship, purchasing equipment, and supplies. We will go to reconnaissance first. Is the sea area you have delineated large? big?"
"It's not that big, it's about a dozen nautical miles in radius." Chen Yonghao still said it in a vague way.
"Okay, we have similar experience." Zhu Yu said, "I tentatively plan for half a month. In half a month, we will search in the sea area you have designated. If we find the target, then we will start salvage.
If we can't find the target in this half month, then we will withdraw. How about it? "
Chen Yonghao didn't know Zhu Yu's efficiency in treasure hunting, so he immediately shook his head:
"If half a month is not enough, it must be a month."
Zhu Yu thought that nothing happened anyway, so he smiled and said:
"Okay, just one month, but you have to come back two or three times to replenish supplies, otherwise it won't be a problem to float on the sea all the time."
"This must be no problem!" Chen Yonghao finally showed a smile on his face, a real smile.
"Then we've made a deal." Seeing this smile, Zhu Yu felt that what he just said was not in vain. It would only take half a month more. I have never been to a tropical area like this, so it’s a perfect place to travel.
Next, it’s time to plan what to purchase.
"There are ships at the port that you can rent at will. These days, as long as you have money, you can choose any ship." Chen Yonghao said with a smile, but there was a bit of irony in his smile.
"It's a pity that I don't have any money. The ship owners treat me like a beggar. The only few times I've been to that area as a sailor are with the ships. But I didn't find much."
Zhu Yu didn't expect Chen Yonghao to be so depressed - he had information about the treasure in his hands, but no one believed him.
"I also rented a small boat to go there, but I was almost knocked into the sea by the aftermath of the typhoon." Thinking of that experience, Chen Yonghao still feels sad to this day. "Afterwards, I knew that the small boat could not go there at all. If you die, you are seeking death."
Zhu Yu's original question was also stuck in his throat.
It seems that Chen Yonghao must have thought of and used all the methods he could think of, but there is really no other way, which is why he is in this situation now.
"Okay, let's list the things we want to purchase first." Although the four of Zhu Yu have some experience, and the Cao Dalong family are also fishermen themselves, they are in other countries now, so it is better to listen to what Chen Yonghao has to say.
Chen Yonghao entered the back room, took out a piece of paper and said:
"This is the list I made a long time ago. Let's just add or subtract from it."
The list was written in pencil, and there were obvious traces of alterations on it. It had obviously been revised several times.
Wet suits, oxygen bottles, satellite phones, underwater metal detectors, fishing guns...
There are dozens of pieces (sets) of various sizes, not including supplies.
When Chen Yonghao handed the paper to Zhu Yu, he looked quite calm, but actually he was quite panicked.
If all these things are equipped, it will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Is this Zhu Yu in front of me like the few people I met before, who immediately rejected the order as soon as he saw it, and broke up without waiting for him to argue his case.
But I have reduced these things as much as possible, and the rest are necessary.
It would be fatal to float on the sea for a month without everything being in order!
"Do you think the things you crossed out are not important, or are you afraid that the partner won't be willing to prepare them?" Zhu Yu looked at the piece of paper and asked with a smile.
"...Both." Chen Yonghao sighed.
"No, no, our lives are more precious, so as long as you can use it, buy it!" Zhu Yu looked at the time and said:
"It's a bit late today. Let's go. We'll treat you to a meal and then rest at night. Early tomorrow morning, we'll come over and do the shopping separately. We'll try to get everything together within one day, rent the boat, and then go to sea!"
"Okay!" Chen Yonghao was very excited when he met such a generous collaborator for the first time, "Then I'm welcome!"
At this moment, he secretly made up his mind that if he really found the treasure, he would give Zhu Yu more points no matter what!
After doing some psychological construction, he followed Zhu Yu out with peace of mind.
“Where is a more authentic and higher-end Chinese restaurant?”
Zhu Yu asked.
"I'll tell the driver." Chen Yonghao reached out and stopped two taxis.
The two cars arrived in front of a very antique-style restaurant facing the street.
"Baiweige?" Zhu Yu looked at the Chinese character name and smiled, "The name is good."
"This restaurant comes from the mainland and is said to have a history of nearly a hundred years in the mainland." Chen Yonghao said, "Many wealthy Chinese businessmen in Jakarta, especially those who have come here in recent years, like to come here to eat."
Five people entered the restaurant, and Chen Yonghao asked for a private room.
Looking at the familiar dish names on the menu, Zhu Yu felt that it should be right.
After ordering a few hard dishes, Zhu Yu gave the menu to Chen Yonghao.
"I've never been in." Chen Yonghao shook his head, "And I don't know much about traditional Chinese food. You can just order."
Zhu Yu has released enough goodwill, and Chen Yonghao feels that he is satisfied.
When the food came, several people were not polite and started immediately.
Zhu Yu also asked for a few bottles of beer. Except for Qin Fei, who didn't drink and wanted to stay awake enough to cope with possible events, everyone else drank some.
After drinking, Chen Yonghao became more talkative.
His experiences over the years have left him with too many complaints that he wants to express, and too many emotions that he wants to express to others.
In the past, there was no way to tell people, and it was impossible for others to listen, and he couldn't speak out.
Zhu Yu arrived today. Although the two parties only met once, Chen Yonghao felt that Zhu Yu must be his noble person.
Being able to help him fulfill his wish and being so considerate of his thoughts will make Zhu Yu rich in the future!
Facing Chen Yonghao's emotion, Zhu Yu just smiled.
He couldn't figure it out. In ancient times, it was like plucking a hair to benefit the world. Why not do it?
He has actually mobilized a little bit of kindness now. These resources are no more than a hair on his head, but for Chen Yonghao, they are nothing more than life-saving straw.
He is still willing to do such things as long as it is within his ability.
Cao Dalong drank several bottles, went out to put some water, and came in after almost ten minutes.
After he came in, he saw everyone else looking at him and immediately explained:
"Boss, I met someone here that I didn't expect at all, so I stayed outside for a while to confirm."
"who?"
"Can you still meet acquaintances here?"
"Dalong, be careful, don't miss the boss's business!"
When Cao Dalong heard Ran Jie Qin Fei's words, he immediately explained:
"No, no. I know him and he doesn't know me - this is a big liar! He set up a pig-killing plate, what kind of Ponzi scheme, defrauded tens of billions, and then walked away. I didn't expect that he is here now. here!"
Zhu Yu felt that it sounded a bit like a fantasy - too ridiculous, right?
