Chapter 650 Benefits and Rewards
Most ships from various countries passing through the Strait of Malacca will not be too fast. The straits themselves are relatively narrow, and if the ships are too fast, it is easy to collide. Even if the fisherman fleet slows down, no one thinks there is anything wrong.
In addition, the return of the ocean-going fishing boats is full of fishing cargo, so the waterline of the fishing boats is naturally relatively deep. In this case, if the fleet slows down, the passing ships only think that these ships should have transported a lot of cargo.
But only the No. 1 ship of the Fisherman Fleet, most of the crew members who were on the boat, watched the security team's actions. Although they didn't know why the security team members had thrown the salvage basket into the sea for what they did, they all acted as spectators.
After the cable was thrown down, the security team members were guarding next to the cable, waiting quietly for something. After a while, a security team member soon saw that the guard's cable suddenly tightened, as if something heavy was hanging on the other end.
Seeing this scene, Hong Wei immediately said: "Tie the cable quickly!"
"yes!"
The security team guarding the cable quickly tied the other end to the side of the ship. After pulling it briefly before, he also felt very difficult. He thought that the things tied to the other end of the rope should be quite light.
Next, every few minutes, a security team member quickly tied up the guard's cable. Although the security team and the crew were curious about what was on the other end of the cable, they knew that now was not the time to pull the rope.
Until all the cables that were thrown away were tied up, Hong Wei also said directly: "Raise your vigilance. Once you find that a patrol ship is approaching, remember to report it immediately. Without my order, no ships are allowed to approach our fleet."
"clear!"
There was a fishing boat in front and behind each serving as a flank guard, and Ship No. 1 could sail safer. Just when everyone thought that Zhuang Haiyang could almost return to the ship, Hong Wei received another call, saying that Zhuang Haiyang would not return to the ship for the time being.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Zhuang Haiyang naturally needs to explore how many valuable shipwrecks are in this strait. When passing through the strait in the future, you may find the right opportunity to salvage these valuable shipwrecks.
It may be difficult to give the corresponding salvage location for the shipwrecked items. But as far as the current situation is concerned, as long as something is not too sensitive, Zhuang Haiyang also believes that the company can successfully sell it.
Many salvaged things can be transported back to China safely. How to sell them in the future, or how to fabricate the location of a shipwreck, is the final decision of Zhuang Haiyang. If others want to investigate, they have no way to investigate!
Moreover, how to distinguish the ownership of shipwreck items such as precious metals or gems?
I have to say that Mr. Wang and his team's analysis is very correct. The number of shipwrecks in the Strait of Malacca is indeed quite large. Zhuang Haiyang has indeed discovered many shipwrecks with extremely high salvage value. However, he only remembers that the location has not been salvaged.
Every time I salvage some, I will serve as an additional benefit for the fleet, and it will not attract too many people's attention. Shipwreck items such as precious metals are traded with domestic banks. Gold and silver are all hard currency!
Until the fleet left the Strait of Malacca and the sky was about to brighten, Zhuang Haiyang finally returned to the ship as everyone expected. As soon as he got on the ship, Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said, "Lao Hong, find a relatively safe place and pull up everything!"
"Okay! I'm afraid I'll find something good this time?"
"Hehe! That's natural. How can I not get what I took to get? But these things can only be given some extra benefits to you. The real big head is mine. Do you have no objection, right?"
"That's possible! We are already satisfied with this extra benefit. You can change your clothes first, and I'll deal with the rest."
Confirm that there were no ships passing by around the fleet, Hong Wei quickly found the crew, and several people untie the cables in groups and began to pull the basket tied to one end of the rope, which had been sinking in the sea water before.
When the first basket of things was pulled onto the boat, many team members said in surprise: "My goodness! Why did I say something so heavy? It turned out to be this thing. Is this basket worth a lot, right?"
"Okay! I'm just doing something, and I haven't put the things back into the debris cabin to store them. Remember, you haven't seen anything. These things were all salvaged by the ocean. However, he said he would give us extra benefits."
"Understood!"
In addition to being shocked, many crew members realized that they had not done much effort in the things they had salvaged. To be precise, the crew members of the other two ships may not know that this is the case.
If they have to share the salvaged things, it seems a bit too much. Getting an extra benefit may be the fairest distribution. In a sense, this is also considered a hush fee!
The iron baskets that were thrown down earlier were all pulled onto the boat one after another. The things contained in each basket shocked the crew. It was not until this moment that they understood why Zhuang Haiyang worked so hard and had to salvage these things.
The things in each basket are refined gold or silver, and the amount of gold is more. If nothing unexpected happens, these golds will accumulate at least one or two tons. The value of tons of gold can be imagined.
While sighing, the crew also knew that only Zhuang Haiyang could earn this kind of money. If they were to say that they could not find such treasure ships. Even if they found it, how could they salvage it in a busy waterway?
"Awesome! I have to say that the work of this guy, Fisherman, is getting more and more powerful."
"Yes! Our boats didn't stop before. I really don't know how he tied so many baskets to the ropes. The most important thing is that this basket is at least a few hundred kilograms. How could he pick it up from the bottom of the sea to tie the ropes?"
"What do you want to do so much? Although we can't share the money, we can get an extra bonus, that's a waste of money!"
While admiring Zhuang Haiyang’s salvage methods are so sharp, most crew members have no idea about sharing Chengdu. If it is not their money, they have to share it, which would seem too greedy. They would be very happy to have a bonus.
Now they go back and forth twice a month to A Sanyo, and they earn more money than other comrades who stay on farms or ranches. They say that being a person should be content. If they are not satisfied with such a high-paying job, what else do they want?
On the contrary, Zhuang Haiyang looked at the salvaged gold and a small amount of silver and said with a little emotion: "Time is limited, I didn't want many silver ingots on the shipwreck. I picked all the gold and picked it up, which was a pity."
"Okay! Don't behave yourself when you get the cheaper. If you can get the gold, you should laugh."
"That's true! However, there is still a little good thing under these baskets. If you like it, please pick one for your wife later. However, this time, there will be no share of your benefits?"
"What good thing?"
When they heard what Zhuang Haiyang said, Hong Wei and others became interested. They often went to sea and did not stop at the port along the way, so they naturally could not prepare any gifts for their wife or family. If there were good things, they wouldn't mind giving them some.
Zhuang Haiyang, who had not said it directly, quickly picked up the gold from a cigarette basket. When the gold nuggets were removed, colorful gems soon appeared at the bottom of the cigarette basket.
"Hold a grass, is this a gem?"
"Well! How about it? Choose one? Take it back and give it to my wife. I believe it is very respectful, right?"
As a result, Zhuang Haiyang was a little surprised that Hong Wei shook his head directly and said, "No, each gem of this kind is not cheap. If you really want to get one back, it is hard to explain."
"Don't talk nonsense! Choose one by one, hurry up. This gem may be valuable to others. But to us, it's nothing? There are so many things in my house!"
OK! After saying such powerful words, Hong Wei, Zhu Junhong and others were both amused and crying. But they knew that Zhuang Haiyang, which often practiced under the sea, probably also picked up a lot of such gems.
The ancient times of A Sanyang were also considered an important place of gems. In fact, when Li Zixian got married, Zhuang Haiyang invited famous craftsmen to carve jewelry, and many precious and rare gems were engraved.
From this we can see that Zhuang Haiyang's words are really not lies!
Seeing that Zhuang Haiyang's expression was not as fake, Zhu Junhong finally smiled and said, "Okay, since you are so generous, I don't have to be polite to you. I will pick a ruby and go back to make a necklace for my wife, which is a birthday gift for her."
With Zhu Junhong taking the lead, Hong Wei would have better pick a sapphire. No matter what gem it is, if it is sold outside, I believe that the price of these natural gems should not be cheap, at least it is more valuable than the bonus you paid.
Just as the two of them picked up the gems they wanted, Zhuang Haiyang took back the gems they picked, picked a larger one from the basket and handed them to them. The color was the same, but it was bigger and the value was undoubtedly greater.
The two of them had no choice but to accept such benefits in the end. In fact, as Zhuang Haiyang's most trusted and close confidants, they also knew a lot of Zhuang Haiyang's secrets. Making money may not be the most important thing.
More importantly, they have already managed this job as a career, and they also hope that this career can continue to be run. Even they know one thing, that is, only if Zhuang Haiyang lives well can they live well.
All prosper and all loss may be more in line with their way of getting along with Zhuang Haiyang!
In fact, when he returned to the farm, Zhuang Haiyang also specially picked some gems and distributed them as additional benefits to the backbone personnel of the fleet. Ordinary crew members also received a good bonus.
In short, the bank that had previously traded with Zhuang Haiyang also gave a good price for this batch of gold salvaged. For the gems, they were sent to the salvage company, and they chose the auction house to auction them.
