After a tour, leitiantang with a good mood Kaila on board the helicopter, ready to take a good look at the sea when the sun goes down.
The next day, all the staff on board began to be busy. Today, the wreck salvage work will be officially started. Yesterday afternoon, the submarine diving work was the last preparation work. Before Lei Tiantang came, they had already done almost all the work needed to be done.
Powell took the walkie talkie in the captain's room to conduct an orderly command. Although this is the first time that he has used such an advanced fishing boat to carry out salvage operations, his rich experience still allows him to arrange all work properly.
Leitiantang and Kaila are also in the captain's room. They don't disturb Powell who is working. They just sit in front of the big screen of the monitor and watch the real-time pictures of the scene. Here you can see all the details. If you look at them from the deck, you can see very little.
The strategic role of China and the Malacca Strait in the international trade is so important.
During the 300 years from the early 16th century to the 1830s, the early colonial powers, such as Portugal, the Netherlands and England, consolidated their colonial rule in India in order to seize the sea power of the Indian Ocean and control the acquisition and trade monopoly of spices in the Southeast Asian archipelago and tin and other commodities in the peninsula area.
Based on Southeast Asia, they invaded China and opened up the markets of China and East Asia. Thus, a long-term struggle was launched around the Strait of Malacca. The purpose of the early colonists' struggle for the Strait was to expand the colony, strengthen economic plunder and expand the market of raw materials and products.
At that time, the cargo ships, from sailboats to steam powered ships, had few means to resist natural disasters that could cause the ships to sink.
Moreover, in those days, pirates around Malacca were very rampant. They would rob all kinds of cargo ships passing by. Especially after the artillery technology became mature, the success rate of pirates' robbery was higher. But sometimes these pirates would sink these cargo ships by accident. Therefore, the number of cargo ships sunk on this busy route is very amazing.
Although there are often sunken ships found on this route, and many salvage companies have made great profits, compared with the sunken ships still sinking on the sea floor, the sunken ships they are salvaging are just like the one in the 19th century. The reason why they can make a one-off decision is that the sunken ships they are now salvaging are such a cargo ship in the early 19th century Such a sinking ship is awesome for the employees of the company.
Stimulated by the huge dividend, none of the staff of the salvage company was lazy. When there was no salvage task, all the staff were on duty. They searched for all kinds of information about the possible sunken ships in various libraries and networks, and then sent people to investigate the places where there might be sunken ships secretly.
If there is a preliminary discovery, the staff of the investigation will report it immediately, and the company will immediately send professional personnel to do further exploration and arrangement work. After the existence of the sunken ship is officially confirmed, the company will send a salvage boat to salvage it. This is the reason why the sunken ship they salvaged can be hit with one blow.
You may find it strange that in such a country where money is paramount, do employees still have such loyalty? Since the wreck was found, why not sell the news? Or is it better to salvage them secretly?
But of course, the employees are not fools. If they find out the situation, they will report it immediately, and the company will immediately pay a large bonus. This bonus may be a little lower than the money for selling intelligence, but this money can be spent openly. Moreover, if the sunken ship has a harvest, they can also have a lot of dividends. If the two are added together, the money will certainly be higher than that of selling intelligence A lot more.
As for their own surreptitious salvage, this is even more impossible. Why would their salvage company be listed by Lei Tiantang? It's not because the company lost money on several salvage operations! There are few salvage companies that really make money.
What's more, if you salvage it yourself, you need to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars at least in the initial stage. Such a large amount of money can't be taken out by anyone. Moreover, if you don't have any means, almost 100% of them will be hacked, and no one will take the lead for them.
Even if there is a harvest and it is not hacked, it is not necessary to share these gains with others. In the end, the harvest may not have been reported to the company in an honest manner, and then the bonus plus dividend can be harvested more. Everyone is not a fool. As long as people who have worked in this industry for a period of time, they will calculate this account.
Due to the good preparation work and the destructive salvage operation, only valuable things were salvaged, so the whole salvage work was progressing very quickly.
Before 3:00 p.m., the salvage work of the freighter was completed. After the robot checked with the underwater camera, the first salvage operation of the "deep sea Troll" came to an end. In the best of spirits speechless,
Lei Tian Tang watched Kayla's company and his employees make complaints about the harvest in the warehouse. The main reason is that the salvage is very few in his view.This is a freighter mainly carrying spices. Of course, spices are not required. Therefore, the valuable goods salvaged are mainly from the captain's private warehouse and some of the crew's private collections.
About dozens of kilograms of gold, some unprocessed diamonds. These gold and diamonds may have been obtained by the captain from the three countries of Argentina. There are also some metal coins, gold coins and silver coins from the 18th century to the 19th century, but the quantity is not large. It is estimated that the total number is about 2000.
Kaila is mainly interested in the cultural relics from the captain's private warehouse. There are several Golden Buddha statues and some wood carvings. These wood carvings can be soaked in the sea water for such a long time without damage. It is estimated that the materials are also good.
"Boss, we have preliminarily estimated that the harvest will be between 8.5 million US dollars and 10 million US dollars. The specific figure will not be known until all these items have been sold, but the gap should not be too big!" After more than half an hour, Powell reported the harvest to Lei Tiantang, who was standing on the side.
"I'll go! This time, the cost of going out to sea is estimated to be 5 million US dollars! I still have to pay taxes, and then everyone will get a point. In the end, it is estimated that I still have $500000 left? I'm really here to earn pocket money Thunder day Tang Xiao make complaints about Tucao.
