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

Chapter 964: If you take the money, you have to let them do the work

Liu Meilan is gone, but the affairs of the military region are not over yet.

Immediately after Liu Zhengtao reported this to his direct supervisor, he sent someone over to look at the large boxes in the warehouse.

After testing, it was found that the box was indeed made of copper-iron alloy.

There was a lock on it that couldn't be opened, so I just smashed the lock and opened the box.

At first, we didn't dare let the leader come forward, and we also asked everyone to wear masks. When the box was opened, there was a layer of things inside that had changed color due to erosion by sea water.

Fu Chen put on a gas mask and walked to the box. He took out a palm-sized gold diamond from it, weighed it in his hand, and poked it, revealing the original color of gold. "It's gold!"

This is an intuitive judgment, and there is a scale specifically for testing gold next to it.

When gold is placed on top, the density is 18.9 grams per cubic centimeter.

The reason why it is not 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter is probably because the previous gold series technology was not as advanced as it is now, and there were impurities in it.

But even so, it can still be determined that this is gold.

As the gold inside was gradually taken out and disinfected, it was placed back into new boxes piece by piece.

A total of thirty-two boxes were sorted out, all filled with gold.

The leaders above sent people. When they saw the gold, they were not afraid that it might be poisonous. They just grabbed it and took a bite, leaving tooth marks on it.

Liu Zhengtao's mouth twitched when he saw this. "Coach Wang, you better be careful! Whatever virus you have, you've already revealed it here, haven't you?"

Coach Wang laughed heartily. "I'm so broke I'm peeing blood, and you're still afraid of viruses? There's nearly 300 tons of gold in here! How can I not be excited? I'm going to call the higher-ups right now to figure out what to do with this gold!"

Division Commander Zhao looked at him with envy. "Commander Wang, this is what we discovered. You can't forget the troops! We need large warships and advanced weapons!"

All of what Commander Zhao said was out of the public interest, so Coach Wang smiled and said, "I understand. One should remember the well-digger when drinking water! Don't worry! I guarantee you'll be there!"

Fu Chen checked the 30 boxes at the back again. "Report to the leader, most of these are gold products, silver products, and some handicrafts! Some have already rotted!"

Political Commissar Zhang stroked his chin. "How about giving these Jing gold and silver artifacts to the Liu family who handed over the treasure map? Put them in the museum and open them up to the public when we become stronger! And let those foreigners see that our country also has their treasures!"

When these words were spoken, everyone thought of the Chinese treasures that were stolen by the great powers.

At this time, Liu Zhengtao stopped talking and asked the leader to make the arrangements.

Coach Wang pondered for a moment, then leaned over to take a closer look. "Although it's pure gold, it does take up space. If we melt it down and turn it into gold nuggets, it would be a waste! But we'll have to hold a meeting to decide whether to give it to the Liu family."

Liu Zhengtao saluted and said, "I will obey the arrangements of the organization and leadership!"

Coach Wang patted Liu Zhengtao's shoulder vigorously and said, "Well done!"

If it were him, he might not be able to do what Liu Zhengtao did and just hand the treasure over. I heard there are 11 more treasure hiding spots. If there are so many, their warships would probably be able to be dropped like dumplings.

Coach Wang reported the situation here, and the highest-level military leaders were shocked and couldn't believe it.

400 tons of gold, more than 100 tons of which were mined nationwide last year. This treasure is equivalent to three years of mining.

Although I used to despise the actions of the colonial powers, when I heard that there was so much gold, I was actually a little envious that day. This way of acquiring wealth is really too profitable!

The military was also unable to control this matter, so the bosses gathered together to discuss it, and then directly sent transport planes, divided into more than 30 sorties, to transport all the gold to Beijing.

Although those gold products looked good, they were just so-so in the eyes of the Chinese people, so they were given directly to Liu Yiwen and Liu Meilan.

Because after receiving this news, the leaders above quickly asked someone to investigate the whole matter.

The leaders were shocked to find that although Liu Zhengtao's son and daughter Fang were engaged in business, they were following the path of national assets.

It has donated 3000 million yuan to Sifangdao Research Institute and 2000 million yuan to Northwestern Polytechnical University for three consecutive years.

Not only that, but they also donate money to charities and the Red Cross every year. Even the orphans and five-guarantee households on Sifang Island and the welfare homes are within the scope of their assistance and donations.

It not only boosted the local pearl farming and seafood farming industries, but also actively arranged for veterans.

What shocked them even more was that most of the achievements Liu Yibang made in Gansu Province and the resources he obtained came from help from Shenzhen.

In the eyes of the upper class, it doesn’t matter who makes the money. Instead of giving it to those who are traitors, it is better to give it to their own people.

So the higher-ups ordered the local government to build an exotic museum to store the salvaged items.

Immediately commend the Sifang Island Military Region and award the soldiers led by Fu Chen a collective second-class merit.

The next thing was simple. Such a large amount of gold was directly collected into the national treasury, and then allocated to the military for military construction and warship building, especially the Naval Research Institute, so that they could develop technology.

Money makes things easier. We can buy enough materials, improve the salaries of our researchers, and renovate the shipyard...

After Liu Meilan and Liu Yiwen received the commendation from above, the brother and sister were studying how to implement it.

Liu Yiwen asked softly, "Meilan, do we want this?"

Liu Meilan scratched her head. "If I don't accept it, I'll be letting down the higher-ups. If I accept it, it'll just make people jealous. There's so much stuff!"

Liu Yiwen thought for a moment and asked, "How about we pay for the construction of the museum?"

Liu Meilan said, "Don't worry! Mom will be home from get off work soon. I'll ask her later!"

Professor Xie was carrying a backpack and holding the vegetables he had bought. "What are you asking me?"

Liu Meilan quickly got up and helped her mother carry the things. "Mom, let me do it! What happened is, the country only took the gold bricks, and left the more than 30 boxes of gold, silver, and gemstones to us! They also asked the local government to build a museum for us to house these things."

"Even though it's a gift from above, we feel a little reluctant not to accept so much. But even if we accept it, it's a bit tricky! Especially for building a museum, the local government not only has to pay for it, but also provide the land. We feel embarrassed!"

Professor Xie chuckled softly upon hearing this. "Yiwen, I remember your Sifang Island Undersea Salvage Company has shares from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission?"

Liu Yiwen replied: "Yes! 20% of the shares. Last time, Uncle Wang told me that he wanted to increase his stake! But I didn't agree at that time!"

Professor Xie reminded him, "If that's the case, then you should give the SASAC another 10%, which means they own 30%! They pay out so much in dividends every year, and now that something like this has happened, of course they have to step in!"
