Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 192 Awa Maru
Everyone still doesn’t know that Zhang Yaohua has more than just these two treasures in his hands.

Of course, Zhang Yaohua did not dare to expose it all at once. The rest will be discussed later.

"Director Bai, you also know that I'm a gangster."

Director Bai nodded: "What's wrong?"

"That's it. What should I do if I find a sunken ship?" This problem has always troubled Zhang Yaohua.

"Ah! You found the sunken ship? Where is it?"

Curator Bai and the others were surprised and asked immediately.

Just after asking, Director Bai seemed to understand what Zhang Yaohua wanted to do.

"You want to salvage it yourself? In principle, it's not allowed. The law stipulates that this condition is not acceptable."

Mr. Tang said: "You can set up a company and then cooperate with relevant departments. You don't need to salvage the cultural relics and earn the cost of discovery and salvage."

Director Bai nodded: "That's no problem."

Private individuals are not allowed to salvage, but if they cooperate with the relevant departments, there will be no big problem.

Just like private mining is not allowed, but it is not absolute. You can cooperate with state-owned mining companies and obtain mining rights, and that will be fine.

You know, you can even buy the Leshan Giant Buddha these days, what else is impossible?
Just change your thinking.

As long as the fee is high, does it matter whether the cultural relics are needed? It’s not like you’re going to collect it yourself anyway.

"What about those on the high seas?" Zhang Yaohua asked again.

"On the high seas? At present, our country does not have much control over what is fished out of the high seas. It's up to you to catch it." Director Bai gave the answer.

To be honest, if you can't control what's within your own territorial waters, how can you still bother to control the high seas?

With these words, Zhang Yaohua felt relieved.

Within his own country, he can provide information and earn some information fees. It was on the high seas, and he planned to salvage it himself.

It is not a bad thing to voluntarily abandon the sunken ships in the territory, it is too troublesome. That kind of salvage not only salvages cultural relics, but often also salvages sunken ships.

For Zhang Yaohua, it is really troublesome. It is difficult, costly and a waste of time.

Those on the high seas are not so particular. Zhang Yaohua only wants the treasures on the sunken ship and does not bother to care about the sunken ship itself.

"In this case, if I can provide information about the sunken ship in our territorial waters and I won't intervene in the salvage, how much can I pay? If it's one hundred or eighty thousand, that's not interesting."

Curator Bai couldn't laugh or cry: "How much more information fees do you want? Some sunken ships have no salvage value. How much do you expect others to give you?"

One hundred and eighty thousand is still not worth it.

He was about to laugh angrily.

"I don't care about anything that has no salvage value. I want a fee of 5.00% of the value of the sunken ship. Is it reasonable?"

5.00% shouldn’t be too much, right?

The sunken ship was worth 100 million, but he only wanted 5 yuan.

Seeing what Zhang Yaohua said, Director Bai and the others guessed that this guy must have discovered an incredible sunken ship.

Mr. Tang spoke for Zhang Yaohua: "5.00% is really not much."

"You have to provide so much information, but what about the salvaged stuff?" Director Bai still felt a little high.

Salvage is the most expensive.

For some large-scale salvages, the salvage fees are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. For example, the famous Nanhai No. [-] cost more than [-] million in salvage fees alone.

Of course, the total value of Nanhai No. [-] is very high, rumored to exceed [-] billion.

Zhang Yaohua has a different opinion: "Detection is not easy! There is no difference between finding a needle in a haystack."

"Let me help you fight for it! Now we can say, what kind of shipwreck is it?" Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "I don't know."

"Not sure?"

"Yes! I don't know the identity of the sunken ship. I only know that there are a lot of treasures on the sunken ship, including gold. It is probably a cargo ship from childhood. I don't know where the treasures were found." Zhang Yaohua said.

The wreck of a small life?

Everyone became interested immediately.

You know, during World War II, a lot of wealth was plundered from various countries, and our country was the largest among them. In addition, Southeast Asian countries are also suffering.

Mr. Tang suddenly spoke: "I remember, we salvaged the Awa Maru and found no gold, right? Could it be..."

The Awa Maru is very famous. It was a [-]-ton ship in its childhood, carrying a large amount of looted property. It is said that there were forty tons of gold.

What is the concept of forty tons of gold?

Almost as much as the gold reserves of some small countries.

Rumor has it that there are also priceless skull fossils of Beijingers.

However, the Awa Maru was salvaged by our country. Not a single bit of gold was found, and no skull fossils were found. I was very disappointed at the time, after all, it took so much manpower, material and financial resources to salvage it.

Later, some people speculated that Xiaori temporarily transferred gold and other valuable treasures to other ships.

Curator Bai thought it was unlikely, but still asked Zhang Yaohua: "Xiao Zhang, what is the approximate location of the sunken ship?"

"Near the intersection of the South China Sea and the East China Sea."

Before signing the contract, Zhang Yaohua cannot disclose the specific location.

Curator Bai understood this and said, "A dedicated person will contact you soon."

We need to sign the contract as soon as possible, confirm the location, and send someone to check the real situation.

If it is really the valuables lost on the Awa Maru, it can be said to be another major underwater discovery and salvage after Nankai No. [-].

The salvage value is immeasurable.

Curator Bai doesn't care much about the gold on it. The gold salvaged has little to do with the museum and will most likely be put into the national treasury.

What he really cares about is the skull fossil, which is one of the most important cultural heritages in the world.

Director Bai took action and the agreement was reached quickly. Zhang Yaohua will receive an information fee of 5.00% of the value of the sunken ship.

Director Bai originally planned to follow the army back to Beijing, but the news Zhang Yaohua suddenly provided made him itchy and he decided to stay.

People from the relevant departments came with the contract.

It also includes underwater archaeologists and specialized salvage teams. After introduction, Zhang Yaohua knew that it was from the Provincial Salvage Bureau. It can be seen that the superiors also attach great importance to the shipwreck information.

The salvage of the Awa Maru was not satisfactory.

If I find those treasures this time, it will make up for my regret.

When we salvaged the Awa Maru, we were actually mainly interested in the gold. At that time, our country was relatively poor, and dozens of tons of gold could not be underestimated. Today, dozens of tons of gold are nothing to China.

After Zhang Yaohua signed, the location of the sunken ship was officially announced.

The people from the Salvage Bureau immediately went to investigate without saying anything.

In just two days, good news came. The sunken ship was a two-thousand-ton cargo ship. It was indeed from a young age. There was a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and even antiques in the ship.

"Are there skull fossils?" Curator Bai asked quickly. He was most concerned about that treasure.

"There is a skull, but I don't know if it is a fossil." The man replied to him.

There were dozens of skeletons on the ship, including skulls.
