Treasure of the Mughal Empire
Chapter 311 Treasure of the Mughal Empire
According to the previous decision made by Xu Haibao, the fleet that stopped briefly in the Andaman Sea took two days to salvage three valuable sunken ships.It stands to reason that starting to return to the fleet now is also a big profit.
But the problem is that the three sunken ships salvaged in the Andaman Sea were not in Xu Haibao's plan at all.The purpose of letting the fleet stop here is also to wait for the elimination of the headquarters of the Five Poison Sect, which may cause a chain reaction.
As a result, in the past few days, the surrounding sea area is still quiet, and it seems that no one is coming to make trouble.Even according to the information provided by the Special Affairs Bureau, the island country where the headquarters of the Five Poison Sect is located has completely blocked the news.
When it comes to special or special events, countries adopt almost the same approach, which is to keep a low profile and blockade.Regarding the matter of Gu masters and warriors of the Five Poison Sect, although many folks know about it and have had contact with it, the official has never confirmed it.
If this news is made public, it will become very difficult for the government to control public opinion.After learning the news, Xu Haibao finally ordered the fleet to continue to set off to the sea area where they were really going.
Although the three sunken ships salvaged this time, the antiques and gold, silver and jewelry salvaged have not yet been appraised.But for many veteran players, they all know that the money they can get this time is a lot of money.
Even if the crew of the fleet has increased a lot, the treasures that the fleet has salvaged at sea are also more.This also means that when the fleet returns to the country and entrusts the salvage to the auction company, every crew member on this trip can get a huge dividend.
Although everyone knew that the one who made the most money was Xu Haibao, the boss.But these crew members still knew that without the salvage company established by Xu Haibao, they might not have such a chance to make money at all.
Those interested in paying attention to the location of the fleet learned that the fleet did not return as they had imagined, but instead continued to sail to the northern Indian Ocean. Those interested seemed somewhat curious, and even suspected that the fleet might not have caught anything.
For other foreign salvage companies, as long as a sunken ship is salvaged, most of them will choose to return immediately.The longer you spend at sea, the more likely something will happen to your fleet.If something happens, the salvaged items will be ruined.
But those who really know the details of this salvage fleet dare not easily inquire about the fleet's harvest and news.With Xu Haibao on board, they dared to trouble the fleet, but the end result was that the gains outweighed the losses.
As the fleet continued to enter the Bay of Bengal, Xu Haibao thought about it after receiving the news from the supply ship: "The steering wheel, the fleet will go to Ceylon for supplies first. Otherwise, let the crew go to the island to find a place to take a two-day vacation." .”
"Wouldn't it be nice to give the crew a vacation at a time like this?"
"It's okay! If there is an accident, I hope it will happen sooner rather than later. Confession, it is forbidden to talk about things on the ship during the vacation. If someone leaks the secret, you should know how to deal with it.
Money touches people's hearts, and this is also an opportunity to test.Even if Ceylon knew there was treasure on board, they wouldn't dare to search casually, would they?What's more, with me here, why should you worry too much?Tiger Shark and the others are not vegetarians either! "
"Okay, then do as you say!"
The reason why he chose to go to Ceylon for supplies is more because Xu Haibao wanted to visit this country.According to what we learned earlier, Ceylon is rich in gem reserves.The amethyst produced in this country is famous all over the world.
Based on Xu Haibao's understanding of the evolutionary objects needed in the Nameless Space, various precious gemstones seem to be the favorite of the Nameless Pearl.Go to the country to see, maybe there will be some gains.Even if you can't find it on the shore, you can go around in the territorial waters of Ceylon.
The fleet enters the port for replenishment, which is a normal business stop.If he really wants to go to the country's territorial waters to carry out seabed salvage operations, Xu Haibao will go there in his own name.In that case, I believe that no one can catch the handle, and naturally there will be no trouble.
Secondly, the country's economic and trade exchanges with China have been continuously strengthened in recent years, and many Chinese businessmen are also investing in the country.The fleet used to rest for two days, so they should be able to find a place to rest and play.
Entering the open sea area of the Bay of Bengal, Xu Haibao explored the deep water area alone.It is a pity that although the two sunken ships that sank in the early years were found, they were not the treasure shipwrecks that Xu Haibao hoped to find.
With permission from Ceylon, the three ships under Xu Haibao's command entered a large commercial port smoothly.To the surprise of Tang Xingyou and others, shortly after the fleet docked, the Chinese consul in the country came to find them.
Facing the visiting consul and military attache in person, Xu Haibao thought for a while and said: "Tiger Shark, I will leave it to your security team to be responsible for the security on the ship. You will rotate after the other teams finish their vacation. If there is any situation, report it in time. !"
"Understood! Just leave it to me to take care of the matters on the ship!"
As the security team leader of the fleet, Zhao Ji's status in the team was second only to Tang Xingyou.In terms of strength alone, I'm afraid he is still higher than Tang Xingyou.Now that the fleet is on shore leave, the work of their security team is still relatively heavy.
Fortunately, with the help of the people above, the three replenishment ships found a relatively undisturbed berth.Although the fee paid was higher, Xu Haibao still felt that he paid the money willingly.
Compared with the materials that the two salvage ships need to replenish, more are living materials.The supply ship that was responsible for the support at sea previously needed a lot of additional supplies.Even if it is oil, what is needed is a huge amount.
Such a big customer is also a lot of money for Ceylon.Coupled with the special greetings from official people, the treatment is naturally better.As for the invitation sent by the consulate, Xu Haibao couldn't refuse too much in the end.
After staying in the hotel specially arranged by the embassy, all the team members who went on shore leave still felt very happy to see the embassy staff who came to socialize.They are naturally happy when they are in a foreign country and can see people in their motherland.
Just before the dinner, Xu Haibao also said at the right time: "Ambassador Li, thank you for your hospitality! Since it is an internal banquet, our fleet should also produce something! There are not many other things in the fleet, and there is still a lot of national wine in storage." few.
In addition, we often drift at sea, and there are not many other things, and there is still no shortage of seafood.If Ambassador Li doesn't mind it, our fleet will serve some drinks and seafood, which can be regarded as contributing to the dinner, how about it? "
"Okay! Although we have prepared some national wine here, we are not in China after all, so I'm afraid we won't be able to drink it to our heart's content. As for seafood, I know that Consultant Xu's seafood is also a must!"
As for the secret seafood that Xu Haibao raises, the higher-ups at a certain level know more or less about it.It is rare to come to Ceylon now, and the other party treats them so warmly, Xu Haibao will feel indebted to the other party if he does not bleed a little.
Secret seafood is hard to find for others.For Xu Haibao, there is no big problem.Following Xu Haibao's orders, dozens of excellent quality seafood were sent to the back kitchen of the hotel.
When making this batch of seafood, Xu Haibao also sent someone to supervise on site.In a word, regarding this kind of secret seafood, Xu Haibao still does not want to be obtained by interested people.And on this point, people who know the inside story will naturally not say anything.
The chef in charge of making this batch of seafood, although he didn't understand how to make a fish, why did he send someone to watch it.But when it comes to a meal at an embassy of a country, it is normal for the other party to worry about food safety.
While waiting for the meal, Xu Haibao also briefly introduced the original intention of the fleet to come here to the embassy staff who came to receive them.Knowing the treasure that Xu Haibao was going to salvage, several embassy senior officials were also very surprised.
"Is the sunken ship treasure of the Mughal Empire really in the Bay of Bengal?"
Faced with such an inquiry, Xu Haibao smiled and said, "There is definitely no 100% certainty about this kind of thing. But the invader fleet that looted the Mughal Empire back then was indeed ambushed by pirates at sea, and many treasure ships sank in the sea.
Whether I can find these treasures that have been lost in the sea for many years, I am not absolutely sure.But to salvage a shipwreck, sometimes you have to take a bit of luck.If it can be salvaged, I believe that these treasures will move and shock the whole world. "
Regarding Xu Haibao's answer, the embassy executives who attended the dinner also agreed: "Indeed! The legend about this batch of treasures has actually been circulated in Ceylon for a long time. In the early years, there were also many foreign salvage companies.
It is a pity that those treasures have been buried in the deep sea for too long, and there are many disputes about the location where the fleet was ambushed.There are even rumors that these treasures may be buried somewhere in the Ryukyu Islands! "
There are many legends about pirate treasures in the world.But there are not many people who can really find the pirate treasure.At least in Xu Haibao's view, the pirates should have obtained a batch of treasures back then, but there were still treasures that sank into the sea.
And he led the fleet to the Bay of Bengal this time, hoping to try his luck.If it is possible to salvage those treasures that have been handed down by the world for many years, I believe Dragonsea Salvage Company will become famous in one fell swoop by virtue of this record.
In addition, according to historical data, the invaders looted the royal treasures of the Mughal Empire.A large number of rare diamonds and gems were looted by the invaders.Even if you find a small part, that is an amazing wealth.
Although this kind of thing, Xu Haibao can also choose not to say it.But Xu Haibao felt that since these people were so enthusiastic and curious, it wouldn't hurt to share this news with them.If someone wants to make a profit, he must have this ability.
Being on the sea, Xu Haibao is afraid of Tianwei's words, even if he encounters a navy, Xu Haibao dares to be tough.What's more, as far as the naval power of several surrounding countries is concerned, it may not be higher than his fleet.
It really pissed off Xu Haibao, destroying one or two large ships, I believe these countries are in extreme pain.As long as the international legal conventions are followed and the fleet only engages in salvage operations in high seas, who can say anything.
What's more, the Mughal Empire has been destroyed for many years, and the treasures salvaged are also unowned.Salvage companies from other countries also came to try their luck. Why couldn't the salvage fleet formed by Xu Haibao take a chance?
