Originally, Cao Dalong planned to invite Zhu Yu and the others to his home to stay and have fun for a few days.
Because of this phone call, this matter was shelved.
"How about we play here for two days, and then let's go to the big island." Zhu Yu suddenly said: "Just go and relax."
"Okay!" Ran Jie responded enthusiastically. Even though Qin Fei, who usually didn't speak much or express opinions, rarely nodded in agreement:
"I think that's a good idea!"
Cao Dalong actually knew very well that the boss and Ran Jie wanted to make him feel better.
After all, they can't persuade them about family matters, but they can relax themselves in the external environment.
"I heard that a lot of tourist facilities have been built over there, and several groups of tourists who have passed here have visited there, and the response has been pretty good."
Zhu Yu remembered the phone call Pu Lanlan once made to him and said:
"We just happened to go over there. There are so many people there. It's not fun for just the few of us, but when there are more people and people become popular, it's better to have fun!"
"Then it's such a happy decision!" Ran Jie hugged Cao Dalong and said, "Okay, let's go ashore, buy some things, and try the specialties here..."
As the yacht entered the port, Cao Dalong's cell phone rang again, but this time he didn't answer it.
Although it can't completely relieve the knot in my heart, letting it go temporarily can be considered a solution.
The port is prosperous and busy, with a large number of ships coming in and out at all times. The yacht is not eye-catching here at all - at least when seeing the giant 100,000-ton container ship not far away, Zhu Yu feels that the yacht is actually pretty good. Low profile.
After the yacht was docked, Zhu Yu and the others left the port and arrived in the city.
This was once a place where the thirteen industries were popular, so as long as it was in peacetime, it was a prosperous metropolis. The whole city is full of prosperity.
Zhu Yu and others looked around while walking around, full of curiosity and admiration for this place.
To start with, these are the places that are relatively open and tolerant.
After two days of shopping, Zhu Yu and the others returned to the port terminal.
When Zhu Yu returned to the yacht to replenish supplies, Ran Jie brought back a message.
"Some fishermen nearby said that they found a sunken ship in the South China Sea, at the junction of the waters of Vietnam, and now they hope that someone will come with them to salvage it——
And this news has been leaked out, and those treasure hunters will probably rush over soon smelling the fishy smell. "
"Shipwreck?" Zhu Yu was not particularly interested when he heard the news, but asked:
"Shipwreck? Do you know when it sank? What's in it?"
Zhu Yu has seen many sunken ships on the seabed. Ordinary merchant ships really have no appeal to him. After all, the goods carried by ancient merchant ships and porcelain from folk kilns were not worth much after being soaked in sea water. Silk, a specialty of ancient China, was lost once soaked in sea water.
The spices shipped to China are no more than garbage under the dual power of sea water and time.
Unless there are some special-purpose sunken ships containing a large amount of gold, silver and precious metals, Zhu Yu is really not interested.
After all, those places are still relatively dangerous - although Xiao Yue was once beaten, it was between countries.
If you go over a small yacht, you will only get hammered.
Without sufficient profits, Zhu Yu felt that instead of looking for the sunken ship, it was better to go to the big island to see how the tourism industry was developing.
After all, he is not short of money now.
But what Ran Jie told him next made him change his mind.
"According to the fisherman, there were more than one shipwrecks, and they were probably from the late Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, not all the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasty threw themselves into the sea. There was a group that drifted at sea with the royal family's belongings - and then encountered a storm."
"Really?" Zhu Yu asked with some confusion:
"If such news is true, the officials should have taken action long ago, right? After all, that is the Zhao Song royal family, and it is something that has the potential to rewrite history!"
"It's been circulated privately, so no one dares to tell the official." Ran Jie guessed, "Once I tell the official, can this thing still go into my pocket?"
"Are there any specific coordinates?" Zhu Yu became a little curious.
After all, the things we produced with the Pu family last time were mainly gold and silver.
There are not many things with important cultural relic value in the sunken ship.
In fact, Zhu Yu is very clear, or most people are very clear, that some things that are inherited, especially those from the royal family, will definitely be popular as long as they are true.
Ran Jie took out a map and marked the location of the sunken ship for Zhu Yu.
This map mainly covers sea areas. It can be seen that the location marked by Ran Jie is close to the coastline of Indochina Peninsula.
If you want to talk about it here, it is basically considered to be other people’s waters.
Of course, it’s hard to say who it belonged to at the time.
After all, there was a time when it was considered a vassal state and had an administrative agency.
"The position is really sensitive..." Zhu Yu mumbled and wrote down the position.
"Boss, shall we go?"
Ran Jie's eyes were filled with eagerness to try.
"Ask Qin Fei and Da Long whether it's okay to go or not." Zhu Yu really wasn't too interested in the news. It's hard to say whether it's true or not from hearsay.
"Okay, I'll go ask."
After a while, Ran Jie came back with answers from Qin Fei and Cao Dalong:
"They both said to listen to you."
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"Then let's take a turn on the way to the big island. But this trip is very likely to encounter fishermen or even coast patrols there, so try to be prepared."
When Zhu Yu and the others were hunting for treasure, it was more convenient.
There are few people, and the yacht is convenient, so you can leave as soon as you want.
Unlike some professional salvage ships, you need to be fully prepared——
As the yacht sailed in, Ran Jie said to Zhu Yu on the deck:
"The fisherman said that if we find the sunken ship and the contents inside, he will ask for 20%..."
"If we really find something based on his information, 20% is not much."
After all, what Ran Jie got was just a rough coordinate. If you really want to find the sunken ship, you need specific information.
If the other party can provide a specific location, this alone will be worth 20%.
"Where is he?" Cao Dalong asked next to him.
"It's already passed. Wait for us at the approximate location."
"You won't sell two houses for one customer, right?" Cao Dalong was a little worried.
"Goods first, money later, we don't have to worry." Ran Jie said confidently, "But we still have to be careful. It's a controversial area and it's quite chaotic."
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"I've got some weapons, and I'll give them to you when we're far away from the harbor. Then be smarter..."
Zhu Yu didn't need to remind him of this, Ran Jie and the others also knew it.
This is already imprinted in my bones.
After the yacht left the port, the number of ships it encountered gradually decreased.
But after all, it is one of the busiest sea areas in China, and cargo ships and fishing boats can be seen passing by from time to time.
Further on, passing the big island, there are fewer fishing boats.
The sea water here is generally not very deep, and the underwater scenery is very good. It’s not typhoon season either, so it’s a good time to go out on the yacht.
Occasionally, you will encounter other yachts passing by, and there will be little kids on them who will become competitive and want to go faster with Zhu Yu's yacht, or pull a few girls in bikinis to show off.
Zhu Yu and the others just smiled and were really not interested in such childish behavior.
In the evening, the yacht encountered a returning fishing boat.
Seeing the smile on the face of the ship's boss on the deck, Zhu Yu couldn't help but waved his hand to indicate, and then shouted loudly:
"Boss, do you have any good goods?"
"Yes!" the captain said with a smile, "Boss, do you want it?"
"Yes!" Zhu Yu was a little curious. Although he had driven a motor boat before, it was basically to salvage treasures and sunken ships. He had never done anything like setting nets for fishing.
However, the fishing boat had already collected its nets, and Zhu Yu wanted to see what they had harvested.
The two boats slowly came together. Zhu Yu and his yacht had a high deck. Zhu Yu jumped directly onto the fishing boat and asked:
"I don't understand. What good stuff do you have here? Let's weigh some."
"Come, come and have a look!" The boss was very enthusiastic, and the crew members were also curious about Zhu Yu and the others, and gathered around to watch.
It's not unusual to see a yacht on the sea, but it's rare to see Zhu Yu and the others like this. There are only men on the yacht and no women.
The boss of the ship took Zhu Yu and the others to the cabin, where there was a lot of seafood on ice, including fish, crabs, shrimps and the like.
Zhu Yu also saw a basket of shells and the like, all of which were quite beautiful.
The captain of the ship saw Zhu Yu looking at the shell and conch, and explained:
"These are caught from the trawl net. My daughter likes to collect these things, so I didn't throw them away and brought them back. Boss, if you like them, pick a few."
】
Zhu Yu pointed to several kinds of fish and crabs and said:
"This, this, and this, please bring me a basket of shrimps. They should be delicious when grilled."
They were at sea, and the ice in their supplies was beef and mutton. The main focus of seafood is freshness, but we just left the port, so we didn’t get much.
Now I come across some things that you may not be able to get even if you go to sea, so I bought some.
Seeing that Zhu Yu wanted a lot and didn't bargain, the ship boss said happily:
"Okay, I'll give you a market price!"
After weighing these things and moving them onto the yacht, Zhu Yu paid for it. The boss of the ship actually gave Zhu Yu a lot of beautiful shells and conchs.
"This snail is not ugly, but the meat is delicious." The boss of the boat pointed at a type of snail and said, "Just steam it."
Zhu Yu looked at the snails and suddenly asked:
"Boss, is it possible that there are beads in this snail?"
"Beads in the snails? Few. There are some in the berries, and occasionally in the oysters. There are... too few in the snails."
Zhu Yu saw that one of the snails, which was about the size of a football and relatively ugly, had a large orange-yellow bead in it, so he asked.
"If there are beads in this snail, wouldn't it be very valuable?"
"Of course. If the beads here are bigger, they should cost at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands." The ship boss said, "But there are so few that you can hardly touch them. It's like winning the lottery."
Zhu Yu shook the conchs one by one, and then said:
"I think there is a pearl in one of these snails... Boss, I don't want this snail from you for nothing. I bought it for ten thousand yuan."
After that, transfer the money to the boss.
"No, no, no, no..." The boss didn't expect Zhu Yu to come out like this and waved his hand hurriedly:
"What I say I give to you is what I give to you. We have to be trustworthy... Besides, it's so difficult to produce beads."
He doesn't believe it.
Zhu Yu saw that the boss insisted on not asking for money, so he took out a small gold coin from his pocket and said:
"Okay, you give it to me, and I'll give you something small. Boss, don't you have a daughter? This is a gift for her."
The boss looked at the gold coin curiously and asked:
"Is this... foreign?"
"Well, I dug it while traveling on an overseas island."
The boss happily accepted it.
When he sent Zhu Yu and others back to the ship, he asked:
"Boss, where are you going?"
"Over there." Zhu Yu pointed in the direction.
"Oh..." The boss of the ship nodded, and then said: "Over there... don't go too far. The past two days have not been peaceful. Not only are their patrol boats here, but I think there are also many boats passing by, and the boats are not Some people in our country still carry this..."
The captain of the ship made a gesture, and Zhu Yu saw that he was referring to a gun.
"Thank you, the boss will get rich!" Zhu Yu handed over his hand and climbed onto the yacht.
The yacht was far away, and Zhu Yu could still see the boss of the fishing boat looking over on the deck.
"It's great, we can have a barbecue!" Cao Dalong has regained his mood, "The fish is good - the shrimps are also good, and the crabs are quite fresh - let's see my skills today!"
Putting these supplies into the ice cabin, Zhu Yu and the others started a barbecue on the deck.
While Zhu Yu was eating grilled fish, he told Ran Jie and the others what the boat boss had said.
"Boss, what do you mean, this time..."
"Whether the news is leaked or not, we still have to be careful."
When going out, with Zhu Yu's current status, he can't be too careful.
However, I have experienced strong winds and waves, and I will not give up action just because of this matter.
At most, you just need to be prepared enough.
Zhu Yu took the snails and roasted them one by one.
Zhu Yu let a roasted snail cool down a little and started to dig out the snail meat. As expected, he quickly pulled out a bead.
"Yo!" Cao Dalong stared at the bead when he saw it, "Boss, you are very lucky, right? You can also eat Melo beads from this snail!"
The beads are quite big, almost two centimeters in diameter. They are very round and almost have a faint light. They are very beautiful.
"Such a bead is worth 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, right? It's purely natural!"
"Boss, you are so lucky!" Ran Jie also sighed. After all, it is not uncommon to find pearls in clam shells, but pearls in conch shells are too rare.
Zhu Yu cleaned the beads and said with a smile:
"Not to mention, I also think I'm lucky."
Now, snail meat became popular immediately.
However, no beads were found in other conches.
After eating barbecue, Zhu Yu went to the cabin and brought up two large bags.
On the deck, Ran Jie and the others had just finished cleaning up the barbecue stall. When they saw Zhu Yu carrying something, they all gathered around.
Zhu Yu opened the bag, and these people were shocked!
Why did you take all this stuff out!
