Chapter six hundred and seventy-ninth well deserved
Not only Adelaide, but also the captain, the first mate and the staff present all looked at Xue Chen with a very strange look, all with one meaning: Why do you dare to say that the goods are under here?
You know, this sea area has been surveyed.
Amanda asked the radar observer: "Is there a possibility of cargo accumulation below?"
The observer hesitated and said: "Based on the image transmitted back from the radar, I think this probability is very small because I did not see special undersea bumps..."
Andrew looked at Xue Chen deeply, didn't ask anything, turned his head and said seriously: "Uncle Adelaide, send someone to the water!"
Adelaide eased for a moment, said ok, and immediately arranged for diving salvage personnel to prepare to go into the water.
Amanda's beautiful eyes flashed: "Xue Chen, why do you think the goods are just below this?"
"You guess." Xue Chen smiled faintly.
Amanda threw a charming look over.
Many people gathered on the deck and watched professional underwater salvage personnel wearing diving suits and carrying oxygen cylinders into the sea with the assistance of machinery.
Everyone's eyes then turned involuntarily to another person, which was Xue Chen, all full of doubts.
Hans, who was swept away by Xue Chen yesterday, said with some resentment: "Mr. Andrew and Mr. Adelaide actually believed this Oriental boy was talking nonsense. He was not an underwater radar. How could he know the goods sprinkled by the Oasis? This is a waste of time and energy!"
These words represent the true thoughts of many people, and they can't help but nod.
Time passed little by little, and about an hour passed. The mechanical platform rose and a dive salvage worker followed.
The salvage staff in diving wetsuit waved their arms vigorously after leaving the sea, took off their respirator, and shouted excitedly: "Mr. Adelaide, we found it! We found it!"
"Finished?!" The deck suddenly became turbulent.
After the divers got on the deck, everyone saw clearly that the person was holding something in his hand, which was the thing he was waving just now.
Adelaide took a step forward, held the thing in his hand, and exclaimed excitedly: "It's a gold bar!"
In an instant, everyone stared at it with their eyes wide open and saw that Adelaide was indeed holding a gold bar. Although there were a lot of salt and marine algae attached to the surface, some exposed places were shining with sunlight, and it was golden.
Andrew was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What is going on underwater? Tell me clearly."
"Mr. Andrew, this is the case underwater. Below is a large circular coral reef. There should be an open space in the center of the coral reef. But now many foreign objects are sprinkled and filled. We briefly checked and those foreign objects should be the goods of the Oasis!"
"What?! The goods that the Oasis fell into the sea were actually underneath?" Hans, who was huge, shook his body because of surprise, almost fell on the deck and grew his mouth.
"That's great, the goods were found! Hey, but how did he know?"
"Yes, how did he know all this."
When Adelaide received a positive answer, he was very excited, and his hands holding the gold bar were trembling.
Andrew could not hide his excitement, so he turned around and hugged Xue Chen hard, then patted Xue Chen on the shoulder hard, and raised his thumb!
Amanda's beautiful eyes were radiant, and she also looked up at Xue Chen with an incredible look.
Andrew barely thought, and turned around and said, "Uncle Adelaide, I plan to give Xue Chen a component of the salvaged income! What do you think?"
"10%?" Adelaide held the gold bar in his hand and calculated quickly. If all the goods of the Oasis were below, then according to the previous calculation, the value might reach 200 million US dollars! Even if it is not all, it will definitely not be less than a pit that can fill a coral reef. At least 100 million US dollars, and 10% is 10 million US dollars. This is not a small number.
But after less than ten seconds of consideration, Adelaide nodded: "Andrew, I agree with your proposal." He agreed, because this was proposed by Andrew, and the salvage companies are all under the Andrew family. Although he is Andrew's elder, he is just a senior employee. What reason is there to refuse?
Furthermore, it is possible to find that this batch of goods is also because of this person, otherwise this trip of salvage would inevitably return without a failure, so the reward of 10% is really not much.
"That's all, Xue Chen, I will give you 10% of the income from the salvage this time." Andrew said with a grin.
Xue Chen did not reject Andrew's kindness because he deserved it and was very calm.
The depressed crew members were all in high spirits at this moment, and under the command of Adelaide, they all started salvage work under the sea.
Speaking of which, Xue Chen was the most calm on the entire ship.
Another half an hour later, a tin box was transported except for the sea surface, and it made a bang when it was carried to the deck.
The box cover was pried open hard, and in an instant, his eyes were filled with gold!
It was a box of gold bars soaked in the sea water.
“So much gold!”
Some crew members swallowed their saliva and their eyes almost flew out.
Xue Chen looked at a gold bar that Andrew took out, reached out to take it, and looked at the front and back, and saw three words engraved on the front of the gold bar, with the word "Treasure" at the top, and the two words "Xupu" at the bottom, and the other side of the gold bar were engraved with four words "Chinjin Shang Shang".
Amanda asked softly, "Xue Chen, what do these words mean?"
Xue Chen had been exposed to the gold bars of the Qing Dynasty before, so he was not unfamiliar with it at all. He explained: "The word 'bao' is easy to understand. It means that this gold bar is a treasure, and the word 'Xupu' should be the name of the gold shop that created this batch of gold bars. 'Red Gold' means that the quality of this gold is very high."
After a few glances, he threw the gold back into the box.
According to Andrew's introduction to the sunken Oasis, it was a trading ship in the mid-19th century. It was during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the period when opium was sold into the country. I am afraid that many of these gold bars were plundered by selling opium.
All the crew members, including Andrew, were busy, while Xue Chen was very leisurely. He found a fishing rod and brought a bucket of fresh sea fish as bait to the side of the hull to fish.
Amanda looked at Xue Chen with a glorious look, and walked towards her with her amazing legs: "Xue Chen, can I ask you a question?"
"No." Xue Chen hung a fresh fish segment on the hook and threw it out.
Amanda, who was about to ask questions, was choked and looked at Xue Chen with beautiful eyes.
"You can ask, but I probably won't answer." Xue Chen smiled lightly and stared at the fishing line on the sea.
Amanda stared at Xue Chen's side face in a daze, a little lost and full of admiration. Although Xue Chen's appearance is not very handsome, she is so obsessed in her eyes at this moment, giving her an indescribable sense of mystery, which makes her heart tremble and throbbing, prompting her to approach Xue Chen and look up to him more carefully.
In short, it has been less than three months since I met Xue Chen, but every time I contacted him, Xue Chen would always inadvertently make some actions that are admirable and admirable to the core.
As Andrew's assistant, she has seen too many multinational corporations, including some very outstanding talents, but none of them do not have the mysterious temperament of Xue Chen.
I don’t know when it will start, but as long as Xue Chen is there, she always habitually turns her attention to it...
Crash.
Xue Chen picked up the fishing rod high, a silver-white fish weighing more than 30 cm and weighing ten kilograms broke through the sea. The scales were very beautiful under the sunlight and shone with light.
"Amanda, what kind of fish is this?" Xue Chen turned his head and asked.
"It's Atlantic cod, a delicious fish," said Amanda.
"Okay, I'll eat it tonight." Xue Chen said happily.
The salvage work continued until the evening after confirming the sunken cargo. The large amount of cargo was piled on the deck and moved into the prepared cabin after a simple cleaning.
At the dinner table, everyone at the table praised the delicious taste of the Atlantic cod.
Andrew was so excited that he said, "According to speculation, the amount of goods on the seabed is very large. Even if it was not all the goods on the Oasis at that time, at least 70% of them were salvaged this afternoon."
For a moment, everyone in the restaurant paid attention to Xue Chen.
Even those crew members who had opinions about Xue Chen before were all like this, and they did not look down on Xue Chen at all, and would not say bad things behind their backs.
Because if it weren't for Xue Chen, this salvage would be destined to be ineffective, and then they would not get the bonus at all!
Even the crew members had a little unspeakable awe for Xue Chen.
They were frightened. The professional radar did not detect these goods, but Xue Chen pointed out the specific location directly. They scratched their heads and couldn't figure out what was going on.
At first, a crew member told others privately that Xue Chen might have the bloodline of the sea god Poseidon, and could explore the situation under the sea through the fish in the sea, so he could find precious goods hidden deep under the sea.
Adelaide looked at Xue Chen. He heard the crew's speculation about Xue Chen. He didn't care at first, but suddenly he thought that Andrew had talked to him that this young man from the East had jumped into the stormy sea to rescue Miss Connie who fell from the sea. Now, he said the sunken cargo of the Oasis without any warning...
