Chapter 1298 – Returning with a Full Load

“Captain Clyde, tomorrow, prepare for the return voyage!”

At the end of the day’s work, Zhuang Rui stood on the deck, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of halo, appearing unusually mysterious.

In fact, in the eyes of the staff and sailors of the ship, Zhuang Rui is not only mysterious, that is, it is called magical is not too much, originally looked hopeless salvage, but in the Zhuang Rui’s guidance under the harvest.

At the beginning of coming to this sea, including the Clyde captain, no one optimistic about this salvage, after all, they also know what happened in this sea, drop so many bombs, the bottom of the sea will not be turned upside down ah?

But when that whole box whole box of gold, with the seabed sediment surfaced, Zhuang Rui now can remember the bearded captain was stunned as if he had seen a ghost general expression.

However, with more than half a month of salvage, in addition to the small amount of gold that was buried deep in the seabed, the gold that remained in this area and some of the vessels on the shipwreck had been salvaged by Zhuang Rui, and there was no longer a need to linger on.

“Boss, no more screening? What if there’s gold left behind?”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Captain Clyde obviously froze for a moment, although he didn’t know much about the price of antiques, but he recognized gold! Only this half a month out of the water gold, at least the value of more than two billion U.S. dollars, not to mention that there are those medieval people used to live in the exquisite utensils.

To know, now every day do not know how many people, are staring at the red eyes, staring at where they are “Xuan Rui ship” it, every day is a lot of Clyde’s old acquaintances in Europe, side-tracking to find out the news.

From Zhuang Rui in the sea monster area salvage shipwreck treasure news, more than half a month, this sea is full of countries salvage ship, and even some cruise ship diving enthusiasts, also whimsical want to share a piece of the pie.

Even General Rasco, have sent the military salvage ship, in the name of collecting monster corpses, in this sea around, in fact, the purpose is also for the seabed of this batch of treasure.

But the deep sea salvage, is need a lot of preparation work, those who come in a hurry salvage ship, no matter equipment or survey means, are far from “Xuan Rui ship”.

Every day look at a box of gold was Zhuang Rui salvaged, these gold miners can only be on the sidelines dry eyes, as for those who dive enthusiasts, it is even more unreliable, they think they are “the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean from the people” ah? Thousands of meters deep sea is only by diving can go down?

However, Zhuang Rui’s “Xuan Rui ship” can salvage the gold, that this seabed does have the existence of gold, so the gathering of salvage ships and gold miners is more and more, and even some people give this batch of gold a name, called “sea monster’s treasure”.

“Haha, let’s eat meat, but also leave a bowl of soup for others to drink ah!”

Zhuang Rui smiled loudly, in the seabed down twenty to thirty meters in the mud, there is indeed a small amount of gold, but compared to the cost of salvage, I’m afraid that even if the salvage, there is nothing to earn.

Around the seabed within a circle of several miles, is also some by the monster tumbling scattered out of the treasure, but the box containing gold are mostly broken, want to salvage, that is really and the needle in the haystack almost.

So Zhuang Rui simply do not care about the arrival of these salvage ships, the endless treasure of the ocean, destined only by him alone.

Just the bearded captain does not understand these ah! After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, hesitantly said: “Boss, haven’t you taught me? A mosquito is meat even if it’s small, why leave it for these people?”

Although Clyde knew that these gold salvage, and he did not have much to do with it, at most take a bonus just, but that kind of treasure hunting pleasure and the feeling of being complimented by other captains every day, but let the bearded captain fluttering, do not want to end this salvage so quickly.

“Alright, my captain, there are endless treasures in this ocean, why hold back on this? There are plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Zhuang Rui knows Clyde’s mind, this old man is also suffocated by him hard, out of the sea is not willing to go back, but Zhuang Rui is not so work here to dilly-dally, his Beijing “Golden City” is now waiting for rice to cook it!

Zhuang Rui is the boss, Clyde although some reluctance, or nodded and said: “Okay! Boss, as you wish, we will return tomorrow.”

When the many Taobao people in this sea area saw the “Xuan Rui ship” that dominated the gold treasure land finally left, could not help but celebrate, one by one could not wait to come to Xuan Rui ship before the coordinates, dreaming of the gold full of boxes.

However, the reality is cruel, in those Taobao spent a huge amount of manpower and resources, but only scattered from the bottom of the sea mud, find the value is not as much as the fuel labor costs of the gold, one by one, almost spit blood.

The treasure fever derived after the sea monster had lasted for nearly half a year, and those ship owners who had lost almost all their underwear had gradually disappeared in these waters, of course, these were all afterthoughts.

“Mr. Zhuang, congratulations on your fortune!”

“Mr. Qian, you’re the one who’s really rich, we’re also old friends, can’t your commission be a little less?”

In the lobby of the Capital Auction House, Zhuang Rui was chatting with Mr. Qian, while Peng Fei was sitting next to him with a bored face, looking at the white-collar workers coming in and out of the company.

Today Zhuang Rui wearing a traditional red Tang suit, although the clothes worn by most of the elderly, but in Zhuang Rui body, is to make its temperament appears more and more elegant.

Back from Europe has been several months, a few days ago just after the New Year, the capital is still overflowing with New Year’s festivities around, in the hall of the auction house, hanging everywhere with big red lanterns.

The gold salvaged from the bottom of the sea, because the amount is too huge, Zhuang Rui directly sold to the state, so the outside world, although in the speculation Zhuang Rui salvage income, but did not come up with a detailed figure.

Of course, the country did not treat Zhuang Rui, although the money paid to him than the international price of gold on the low so a little, but in other places to give Zhuang Rui a lot of compensation, is a happy situation.

Gold is dealt with, but Zhuang Rui hands also left a large number of South America and Europe medieval antique art, those in the exquisite gold and silver, all represent the most flourishing handmade technology in Europe at that time.

Originally in accordance with the meaning of Huangfu Yun, these vessels are left behind, the future expansion of the museum, you can then open a European pavilion, but Zhuang Rui considered a number of pieces of fine art left behind, or decided to sell it all.

For one thing, the stereoscopic museum is really no place to expand at present, before there is some empty pavilion, these years are filled with all kinds of rich collections, can’t put these things in the gold city that has not yet been built, right?

Secondly, these objects are precious in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Zhuang Rui, is readily available.

Ocean other things do not, these European medieval things, that is how much to have how much, that is, the royal family of each country’s objects are also quite a lot, and later want to build the European Pavilion, the most Zhuang Rui hard trip and then go out to sea once just.

So after dealing with gold, Zhuang Rui chose after the year, joint money total of the capital auction house, held such a European medieval artwork of the special auction.

For this auction, all walks of life in the country are doubly important, because it is always foreign auction held in China special auction, now actually reversed, this is the first time in the country.

And the people who participated in the auction, also to foreign collectors mostly, after all, for foreign art collection, in the domestic is still a niche, know the line is not a lot of people.

“Mr. Zhuang, your gold city is really built with gold, my commission is what ah? Not as thick as a hair on your body! Besides, the commission I want is really not high! Four percent, the whole Beijing …… no, the whole country you ask around, there is lower than me?”

By virtue of the early years and Zhuang Rui down the relationship, the money total successfully competed for this very symbolic auction, although the mouth of Zhuang Rui screamed bitter, face smiling face chrysanthemums brilliant, can not wait to hold Zhuang Rui kissed on a few mouths.

To know, today’s world auction house, none of those foreign auction predators hold, almost all important auctions, are from so many, the domestic auction house simply can not compete with it.

Now the capital auction house can organize an auction with international influence, and auction all foreign art, this influence is money can not buy ah!

This is Zhuang Rui is a generous person, and the relationship with the money is good, otherwise he is not a penny out of pocket, the country also has a large number of auction companies rushed to help him organize this special auction.

“Come on, Old Qian, don’t accompany me, go greet the guests!”

Zhuang Rui smiled and waved his hand, after selling that batch of gold, he almost didn’t have any economic pressure, the reason why he organized this auction was just to give the domestic auction house a proper name.

Not only foreigners to organize a special auction in China, China can still auction foreign art, and also are treasures.

“Good, brother Zhuang, then I first past, you see well! Today’s auction is sure to be a hot one!”

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Mr. Qian excused himself and went to the auction site to get busy.

Mr. Qian didn’t really brag, under his personal presidency, the auction started from the very beginning, it was a hot one.

Zhuang Rui took out a total of more than a thousand pieces of handicrafts from South America and Europe, in the whole three days of the auction, actually not a piece of unsold, the final auction totaled 800 million yuan.

Of course, this is also related to the object itself, most of these vessels are Spain at the time from South America looted fine art, is currently the most respected international auction house crafts.
