Chapter 304

Lei Tiantang also knows that Powell said that the salvage company had the money to pay the dividend. Although he didn't like to take care of the company's trivia, he knew the financial situation of each company clearly. The salvage company did a good job last year, so he did have money.

"I know that there is money in the company now, but this time I need red sandalwood for my personal needs. Unlike the cultural relics that Kaila needs to buy, those relics can be publicly traded by Biyi Museum and salvage company after estimation.

My behavior belongs to private behavior, even if the company is really my private property. After all, there are still hard-working employees in the company who need to rely on the company to support their families, so the money that should be given to you should be given.

At the beginning of last year, I did use most of the company's income when I was short of money, but now your boss and I have no shortage of money. The company's money should be left for your own development! " Lei Tiantang refused Powell's proposal with a smile.

Now he does not need this money. Moreover, when the company pays dividends at the end of the year, the money will come back, so he gives the money very happily.

In the next few days, we experienced the feeling of roller coaster. The reason why this happened was mainly on the second and the fifth sunken ships, because the two sunken ships were full of spices. There is no doubt that the spices sunk in the sea for more than 200 years are of no value to salvage.

Fortunately, the other two shipwrecks did not disappoint us. Many of the gold and gemstone products were beautifully made. There were various statues and royal articles of great artistic value.

According to Kyla and experts, these works of art, all made of gold or other materials and inlaid with gemstones, should all come from the Mughal imperial palace.

Mughal empire is a feudal autocratic Dynasty established by Babur, the descendant of Timur, in the Three Kingdoms of Afghanistan. In the heyday of the Empire, the territory almost covered the entire South Asian subcontinent and Afghanistan. The upper structure of the Mughal Empire was ＂ and ＂ based on ＂ three religions ＂. Persian was the language of court, public affairs, diplomacy, literature and upper class.

After the collapse of Timur Empire, the Royal descendant Babur led his army to invade the South Asian subcontinent to establish the Mughal Empire. The Empire once declined in the period of his son Humayun, and then entered its heyday in the period of the third emperor Akbar. During this period, the Mughal Empire carried out the policy of cultural integration and religious tolerance, but this policy was rebellious during the period of the fourth emperor Jahangir They were thrown away.

By the time of Shah Jahan, the fifth emperor, the Mughal Empire was unprecedentedly powerful. However, due to Shah Jahan's construction and heavy taxes, internal disputes occurred. In 1657, Shah Jahan was overthrown by his son Aurangzeb.

In the mid-17th century, the Mughal Empire was in its golden age. The three were outstanding architects. During the reign of emperor Shah Jahan, the Three Kingdoms built many famous buildings such as the Red Fort in Delhi. Among the numerous places of interest, the most famous one is the Taj Mahal in Agra City, which was built by Shah Jahan for his dead beloved concubine.

It was the construction of the Taj Mahal that made the people in the Empire in dire straits, which led to his overthrow by his son.

The territory of Mughal Empire reached its maximum in Aurangzeb period, but a series of problems left over from Shah Jahan period led to the decline of Mughal Empire.

After the decline of the Mughal Empire, the British Empire, the French colonial empire, the Dutch colonial empire and the Portuguese colonial empire competed for colonies in the three countries. Finally, England won, making the Mughal emperor a puppet. In 1858, Queen Victoria of England was awarded the title of Queen of the three Arab countries, and the British three countries were established, and the Mughal Dynasty was destroyed.

These Mughal Royal works of art that they are now salvaging may have come out under such circumstances, and the Fischer family at that time should still have great energy in England, so these works of art can be removed from the colonial zone at that time.

However, they no longer belong to England. Seeing the excited Kaila and the experts from the salvage company cleaning up the attachments on these artworks one by one, Lei Tiantang couldn't help laughing and shaking his head. After seeing these works of art, most of them will enter the Biyi Museum.

"Hey! dear! You can't take all these artworks back to the museum! Find me some nice ones and I'll keep them to decorate my office later Lei Tiantang felt that he was a cultural man. He would not insult his office with these artworks. Instead, he should be proud of these artworks!

"Good! I'll choose some beautiful ones for you! Anyway, it is impossible for the museum to display so many works of art at once, but there are 637 of them! " Kyla smiles and agrees to her boyfriend's request.

"Then please, my dear! But have you figured out the value of these works of art? " Lei Tiantang asked curiously.

"I've made statistics with my colleagues in the salvage company. Specifically, you can ask Powell. He knows it!" Kyla laughs back.

"Boss, the value of these works of art varies from high to low. The most exquisite one should be the statue with a height of 1.2 meters. Its main body is made of gold, and its body is inlaid with various gems. The highest value is the sapphire inlaid on its forehead, which is estimated to be more than 130 carats!Together with other gems, large and small, as well as its exquisite workmanship, the statue is valued at $130 million!

The other works of art together are higher than the statue. There are 637 works of art, and the total value is 320 million US dollars!

In addition to the gold and silver we have harvested, our salvage operation is full of harvest! If the boss's red sandalwood leaves are included, then our harvest this time can reach 1.27 billion US dollars!

We should abandon those metals that are not worth money now, such as aluminum. If according to the value at that time, the price of these aluminum is comparable to or even higher than gold!

However, their price is very low now, so we gave up fishing for the metals that we thought were silver and knew they were aluminum ingots.

We give up all those worthless metals such as iron ingots. If these things are salvaged, we can sell them for $1 million. But that's very troublesome, so we don't care about them! " Powell standing next to Lei Tiantang, see the boss asked about the harvest, so a brief introduction.
