Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Liu Meilan nodded, "Change! Two ways! Oh, and don't touch those things belonging to the Duke of Ross's family!"

Liu Yiwen was curious, "Meilan, has there been any news from Xu Huizhen?"

Liu Meilan smiled happily, "Yes, the negotiations went very smoothly! Someone will come to contact us in a while! I never thought that what we salvaged could have such an impact on national affairs!"

Liu Yiwen also laughed. "Yeah! Who would have thought! Such an important negotiation, which had been stalled before, was actually conceded just because of what we salvaged—that duke has great influence in European politics."

"Meilan, I actually suspect they might know about the treasure map, but they don't know exactly where it is. I'm a little worried that if they return the Duke of Ross's ancestor's navigation journal and don't find the treasure map, they might get angry and embarrassed."

Liu Meilan blinked. "So what if you're angry and embarrassed? The gold has already been taken away by the country! What's in our territorial waters belongs to us! If you're not convinced, then return what was stolen from our country!"

Liu Yiwen hesitated, "Do you think they will deal with us?"

"Deal with us?" Liu Meilan laughed sarcastically. "We're not going abroad, so how can they deal with us? Even if I go sailing and fishing, it's within the Pacific Ocean, not in Europe! Besides, if they dare to attack us, don't blame me for being rude to them!"

Hearing this, Liu Yiwen was stunned. "Meilan, can you still reach out to Europe?"

Liu Meilan shook her head. "Not for now! But if I don't go abroad, it will be hard for them to deal with me! On the contrary, if they want to invest in our country, it will be easy for me to deal with them!"

While they were chatting, Duke Ross, who was far away in Europe, was looking at the photos on the computer screen.

The logbook contains their family crest and precious materials left by their ancestors who brought glory to the family.

After their identification, they found that this navigation diary was authentic and exactly the same as the handwriting of their ancestor, the Duke of Nice, which was preserved by their family!

When the Duke of Ross was looking through and sorting out the documents of his ancestors, he found a diary of the Duke of Nice, which recorded that the Duke of Nice had hidden a lot of property.

They searched all the relics of the Duke of Nice, but found no information about the hiding of the wealth.

After learning that his old friend in Portugal had retrieved the family scepter, he hurried over to inquire.

The old friend told him everything, that the scepter was exchanged from the East, and these things were salvaged from the bottom of the sea!

Thinking that his uncle was an adventurer and navigator, the Duke of Ross contacted the owner of the salvage company through a French woman named Lisa.

I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect it to bring me such good news.

Only half of this log was photographed, and the contents of the remaining half are still unknown.

The Duke of Ross really wanted to know whether his ancestors had written the location of the treasure in their logbook!

Similarly, his ancestor was also very famous in history as the most famous navigator in France at that time.

Therefore, bringing back the remains of their ancestors would not only enhance their family's reputation, but would also make it very likely that they would find the hiding place of the treasure.

After this news was known to family members scattered across Europe and the United States, they used their influence in various industries to influence the political situation.

In addition, they also needed new markets and cheap labor, and were willing to invest in China, so after some negotiations, they finally reached an agreement with China.

Now they can't wait to get the logbooks back, but the owners of the logbooks in China say that they are priceless and cannot be measured by money, and hope that they can exchange them for antiques from China.

So Duke Ross went to the basement of their castle and sorted out the things that had been looted from the East and had been covered in dust for a long time.

"Father, do we really need to exchange such valuables for our family's things? Can't we just give them to him? After all, the prices of our antiques in the overseas market are rising, which can bring a lot of income to our family."

Duke Ross looked at his son and patiently explained, "Do you remember the family motto I asked you to recite?"

Leo nodded. "Of course I remember! This is our family heritage. You taught me to recite it as soon as I could speak!"

Duke Ross replied: "Now I should tell you the following two sentences..."

Leo listened attentively to his father's story, his expression gradually becoming serious, and finally he was stunned. "Did you see the information about our family treasure in the incomplete sailing log?"

Duke Ross nodded, "Yes! Those things are definitely not as valuable as the logbook!"

Leo shrugged. "So that's how it is! I admit that these Chinese antiques are very exquisite and the craftsmanship is very superb, but I still prefer our European-style antiques!"

Duke Ross laughed. "Yes, it's just like the Chinese are obsessed with their culture and antiques! So we must choose exquisite and expensive ones in order to get what we want!"

After some selection and expert recommendations, they took 20 photos and sent them to China.

When seeing these photos, some veteran experts almost cried! These were all stolen from the Forbidden City. They embody the craftsmanship of the most advanced craftsmen at the time. They are so beautiful!

"Can we replace them all?" the old expert said eagerly. "Replace them. No matter where they are in our country, at least they are here!"

These photos were sent to Liu Yiwen via email.

It not only contains an introduction to each item, but also its estimated value.

Liu Meilan and Liu Yiwen leaned over to the computer and said, "It's so beautiful!"

In fact, Liu Meilan and Liu Yiwen did not think those European-style gold articles were very beautiful. The moment they saw them, they would calculate in their minds how much they would be worth if converted into gold!

But when they see these porcelains and traditional Chinese antiques, the poems they once memorized will emerge involuntarily, and they will use the most beautiful words to describe these treasures that embody human wisdom.

"Meilan, I think these 20 pieces are really beautiful! How about we trade the other half of our logbook for these 20 pieces?"

Liu Meilan nodded without hesitation, "Alright! The estimated value exceeds the price of gold. These things are worth exchanging! When the time comes, we'll build a museum specifically to house the exchanged antiques, and open it free of charge to local citizens and tourists from all over the country!"
