Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

If it is salvaged by submersion as a whole like Nanhai No. [-], the cost and required engineering will be huge. "

Chapter 337

Li Qiushui said clearly: "I understand, take the essence and discard the dross, and use the fastest way to obtain the greatest benefit!"

Zhao An laughed and said, "It's just like capitalists, isn't it?"

As he said that, he took a large blue and white plate from the box carefully transported by the workers, touched the mottled stains with his fingers and said: "Don't look at the fact that these porcelains have been eroded by sea water and sea creatures, but it is precisely because of this that they are allowed to They have been preserved for a long time."

Li Qiushui yelled: "Don't talk so much in front of me, as if you understand it very well,

Just tell me how much it's worth! "

Zhao An snorted and said, "Don't tell me, I have really researched a lot recently, at least in terms of porcelain, I can tell you the truth."

"Yo! Then I'm going to compete with you today!" Li Qiushui pointed to the plate and said, "Tell me how ugly you are!"

Li Qiushui didn't believe in evil, and insisted on being serious, so Zhao An simply pulled a stool over and sat down and said, "First of all, let's look at porcelain. The traditional identification method is to first look at its shape, also called the shape of the vessel, and then look at its glaze. , ornamentation, craftsmanship, and inscription."

Seeing Zhao An talking eloquently, Li Qiushui became interested and signaled him to continue with his eyes.

Zhao An picked up the plate in his hand and said: "This large blue and white plate is shaped like a blooming lotus, so it is also called a lotus mouth plate. The shape of the utensil shows the style of the middle Ming Dynasty.

You also know the history of the early and middle Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus religion, so the porcelain with lotus shape and decoration is very in line with the aesthetics of the time. "

"There are two brushes!" Li Qiushui teased: "It's really listening to what you have to say, it's like listening to what you have to say!"

Zhao An said angrily: "You still don't listen, and if you don't listen, I don't talk."

"Listen, what you said is very good, I'm all ears!"

Zhao An continued: "Looking at the edge of the plate, it can be seen that its body is relatively thin, the body is white and compact, the glaze color is bluish white and bluish, the simple leaf pattern lines are very vivid, and the style is a bit vague, but it is definitely the blue and white of the Ming Dynasty. The best of the best."

Papapapa, after hearing Zhao An's explanation, Li Qiushui couldn't help applauding: "It's really good, although I still don't understand it, but it doesn't prevent me from giving you a wave of applause representing '666'.

Explain that you guys have really changed too much recently. Not only can you bet on jadeite, but you also run a company in an orderly manner.

Now even the identification of antique porcelain is like that.

Brother, live and learn, you can improve yourself through continuous learning, I am ashamed of myself! "

I just made it up based on the results of my real eyes...

Zhao An stretched out two fingers triumphantly, and snorted coldly: "Now you know how powerful you are, right?

Let me tell you, don't look at the calcium left by shellfish on this plate, clean it up a little and bring it to the auction, at least this amount! "

"200 million?" Li Qiushui asked in surprise.

Zhao An gave him a white look: "Shit! I'm talking about 20. Think about it, it is estimated that about 3000 pieces of porcelain from this shipwreck can be recovered, and it is estimated that about [-] pieces are intact like this. Guess we can How much will it cost?"

"We? Do I have a share too?" Li Qiushui said happily.

"Nonsense!" Zhao An said angrily, "This is the business of the branch company. Of course you also have a share, although not very much."

Li Qiushui happily counted on his fingers: "One piece is 20 yuan, one thousand pieces is two hundred million???

My darling, it’s quite a lot. "

In fact, Zhao An deliberately undercounted the number. The diving team fished out more than 4000 pieces of porcelain that day, and Fan Yunting also reported that there were more than 1000 pieces of porcelain under water conservatively.

It's just that it's getting late, and the workers of each unit have been busy from morning to now,

Zhao An also ordered a break from work at the right time. Except for the workers who do desalination work in shifts, the rest of the workers can take a break after eating.

After looking for Wang Guangxu, Zhao An ordered: "Tomorrow you arrange the fleet to continue salvaging until all the underwater porcelain is salvaged, and after that, you take the fleet back to the voyage by yourself.

I won't be guarding you all the time, we're leaving for China tonight, there are still a lot of things to do in the company. "

Wang Guangxu said with a chuckle: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, there will be no trouble if I'm here. Mr. Zhao's treatment is so good, and the workers are working hard to follow you."

Zhao An said with a smile: "Just do a good job, and the treatment will definitely not be bad!"

Bringing Li Qiushui back to the Tranquility, Zhao An ordered Song Haicheng to pull anchor and set sail. After being out for so long, he still misses it.

"Is this back?"

During the meal, Li Qiushui asked reluctantly.

Zhao An said with a smile: "Why, you still want to wander in the sea for a year and a half, three years and five years?

Be careful that if you go back after wandering for five years, your child will be three years old! "

"Fuck you, you're just talking nonsense!" Li Qiushui said viciously, biting off a piece of chicken leg.

Tranquility returned immediately, and entered the Huaxia Sea within two days.

However, Zhao An felt that the speed of 18 knots was indeed a bit slow, so he simply asked the helicopter pilots Yan Dong and Cao Heqing to start the helicopter and take Li Qiushui back to Shencheng first.

Then I took the Zhiyuan Gulfstream G700 and returned to Jiangcheng.

After returning to Jiangcheng, Zhao An said goodbye to Li Qiushui, and went to the military division by himself.

Drifting on the sea during this time, the pilot he entrusted Fang Diwei to recruit has already arrived in Jiangcheng, waiting for him to interview for employment.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao An walked into Fang Diwei's office. Fang Diwei, who was immersed in his work, glanced up at him and said, "Oh, I'm willing to come back!"

Zhao An chuckled and said, "Go to the high seas to fish for something and make a little money."

"Oh, did you catch anything!" Fang Diwei asked without raising his head.

Zhao An smiled and said: "There are indeed some harvests. I planned to catch them last time, but I had to come back early due to the storm. This time I finally got enough."

While talking, Secretary Liu came in to show Zhao An tea, Fang Diwei said to him: "Call Huang Jin and the others over."

Secretary Liu nodded and went out, Fang Diwei also put down the documents in his hand, got up and sat down with Zhao An and said, "The batch of your oil paintings last time, through long-term secret negotiations, finally got back a lot of good things, here's another note for you." Last work!"

Zhao An smiled and said, "I don't really care about the credit or not. I just think we have what they need. From your tone, the other party seems to be difficult."

Fang Diwei sighed: "I understand your feelings, but you only know one thing, I'm afraid you don't know the mystery of it."

Zhao An said with a chuckle: "Please also tell me something about Brother Fang, so that you can clear up my doubts!"

Fang Diwei cleared his throat, and said slowly: "At present, our country generally adopts three methods for the lost Chinese national treasures.

One is legal means, but freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and retrieving cultural relics cannot be solved only by legal means.

Unraveling the three-foot freeze is not a one-day process, and preparations for a protracted battle require the use of various methods.

Including formality, diplomacy, administration, moral condemnation by public opinion, consultation and communication, and at the same time not giving up the use of any means and opportunities. "

Zhao An said with a strange expression: "I'm afraid this route is very difficult. With the pissing nature of Western countries, it is estimated that no matter how much we quarrel and have fun, we will not be able to get back a few good ones."

Fang Diwei said: "This is a positive direction, and it still has a certain effect.

The second is the repurchase of cultural relics...

Many people are opposed to the repurchase of cultural relics, because the use of repurchase of cultural relics is likely to encourage the international community to drive up the price of cultural relics, thereby forming blackmail.

However, repurchase is currently the most effective way to return lost cultural relics, and for a long time it has been dominated by government repurchases.

Moreover, in recent years, it is not uncommon for private individuals to repurchase cultural relics and donate them to the country. The return of the bronze statues of pig heads and horse heads in the Yuanmingyuan is a clear example. "

Zhao An sighed and said, "But this method is a huge expense for both state institutions and individuals, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

Then he said seriously: "Second brother Fang, tell me, if I try to figure out a way,

How about getting back some of the lost national treasures! "

Chapter 338 Guarantee

Fang Diwei was shocked and said: "This is an act of breaking the rules! How could you have such an idea?"

Zhao An curled his lips and said, "Can't it? I promise I won't leave any clues, and they won't even be able to find any clues!"

Fang Diwei shook his head and said: "You must not have such thoughts. To be honest, there are many capable people in China, and there are not a few people with special talents.

But you also need to know that the international environment is generally peaceful now, and everyone is acting under the default basic rules.

Although I also hope that the lost artifacts will return as soon as possible, but I don't want it to be this way. "

Zhao An was a little annoyed and said, "The official procedure is very troublesome and the effect is really not very good.

It is also equivalent to acknowledging the legitimacy of those robbers obtaining our national treasure, and slapping themselves,

Moreover, there are millions of Chinese cultural relics, and no one has the financial resources to complete this matter, so I think repurchase is the least recommended behavior. "

Fang Diwei nodded and said: "I understand your feelings, we, like most Chinese people, have a strong sense of identity with our country's national treasures, and feel saddened by the loss of national treasures.

But we must pay attention to methods in everything. Now it seems that we don’t need to spend huge sums of money to buy things that belong to us even though they are scattered abroad.

Doing so will outweigh the gains and cause endless troubles.

You know, China has millions of treasures scattered overseas.

Let them lie quietly in the museum first, and foreigners can learn about China's profound cultural heritage through them.

It also reminds us of what it means to be beaten if you fall behind, and what it means to be brave after knowing your shame. "

Zhao An smiled and said: "I understand what you mean, in fact, I never thought about getting in trouble with anyone,

What I mean is, instead of going to those national-level museums, instead of going to those private collections of precious national treasures, and using some means to bring them back quietly, what does Second Brother Fang think? "

Fang Diwei smiled and said: "You have such an obsession, it shows that you are really a good person,

But even if you have the ability in this area, I don't support you in doing so,

In my eyes, you are precious porcelain, don't waste your energy on things that are not worth it, run your company well,

Under the premise of ability, helping as many people as possible is more valuable than recovering those dead objects called national treasures.

When our comprehensive national strength is strong and we can make a stronger voice on bigger occasions, I believe that there is no need to mobilize the power of the country, and those guys will send the national treasure back on their own. "

Zhao An muffled: "I hope so."

Fang Diwei laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Just put your heart in your stomach, if you don't return it by then,

Don't talk about you, as long as my brothers are not old enough to mount a gun, I will pick it up in person! "

While the two were talking, Secretary Liu brought three people over, walked up to Fang Diwei, and saluted with a snap: "Commander Fang, Huang Jin/Liu Yongliang/Wan Yuhang are reporting!"

Fang Diwei got up and saluted: "Sit down, it's not the battle order now, and you don't need to salute according to the regulations."

Then I introduced them to Zhao An respectively. The one with wide forehead and round face is Huang Jin, who looks very smart and capable with medium height, Liu Yongliang has a big nose and fair skin, and Wan Yuhang has a baby face. Recognizable.

Among them, Huang Jin was Fang Diwei's choice of captain for Zhao An.

Zhao An smiled and said, "Commander Fang must have told you about my situation.

You were once the best pilots in the Air Force, so let's not talk much, just talk about the salary issue,

Do you have any requirements for the salary and package of working for me in the future? "

Huang Jin smiled calmly and said, "Boss Zhao has said so, and our requirements are not high, just comparable to the captain and co-pilot of domestic civil aviation."

This requirement is actually very reasonable. An excellent and qualified captain needs to have a lot of excellent qualities and a lot of hard-core skills, some of which are even beyond everyone's imagination.

Therefore, Air Force pilots who retire and work in any airline will receive special preferential treatment. After all, they are rare talents. With the development of the aviation industry in the future, the demand for aviation talents will be in short supply. Not ambiguous.

Generally speaking, the salary of the captain of an aircraft is higher in civil aviation than in state-owned airlines. The salary of the captain who flies to the country is about 5 to 8 per month. With bonuses and other benefits, the annual salary can reach 200. ten thousand RMB,

The salary for flying internationally is a little higher than flying domestically, and the highest annual salary can be 300 million to 400 million.

The co-pilot is a little lower...

To be more specific, the simple salary is fixed, but there will be different flight subsidies depending on the route and other factors, that is to say, the more you fly, the more you get paid, and the more you work, the more you get.

Zhao An had a detailed understanding of this aspect, so he nodded and said: "You can settle it like this first. Tomorrow, you will report to the company to complete the entry procedures, and then we will go to familiarize ourselves with the work and adapt to it. Is there any problem?"

Huang Jin smiled and said, "No problem!"

Zhao An said: "Let's do this for today. After you start working tomorrow, I will allocate housing for you according to the situation. I will arrange you as close to the airport as possible. This will be more convenient."

Zhao An still trusted the person Fang Diwei arranged to introduce, not to mention the quality and ability of the pilots from the Air Force.

Zhao An bid farewell to Fang Diwei for the matter of recruiting the pilot of Zhiyuan.

When leaving, Fang Diwei still did not forget to confess: "Remember what I told you, the priority and priority of those things,

It takes our own strength to strike iron, and only when we are strong can we have the strength to beg for our own treasures. "

Zhao An smiled and said, "Second brother Fang, don't worry, I know it well!"

That's what I said, but Zhao An knows his ability, and when he has the opportunity, he will definitely beat him up.
