v3 Chapter 1345： You can't lose if you have a backer

Chapter 1344 If you have a backer, you can’t lose money (the second is more complete)

came into interest. In the next few days, Xia Yu immersed himself in combing at home.

The news of the major sunken ships and treasures of later generations is not hidden at all. Every time they are found, news is flying all over the sky. Especially in the Internet age, past news is constantly being turned up.

Although he can't remember all the information, he still knows some well-known shipwrecks and treasures.

Westerners have many gold shipwrecks. For example, the Spanish Acato was salvaged in 1987. There were 40 tons of treasure on the ship, including nearly 8 tons of gold and 500 kilograms of gems. The value of all the treasures is about 4 One hundred million U.S. dollars.

British Sussex, this ship was searched in 1998 and found in a sea area east of the Strait of Gibraltar for four years. It has a wreck worth 2.4 billion pounds of gold coins.

There are also the Spanish gold fleet, the "Zhongmei" gold panning ship, etc., which have not been salvaged in the previous life, but have been raging.

The Spanish gold fleet claimed to have five thousand carriages of jewels and was buried in Vigo Bay in the Atlantic Ocean.

The “Zhongmei” gold panning ship, which was obtained by gold prospectors in the western United States for eight years, sank in the Panamanian waters.

Of course, there is also the ancient Chinese shipwreck that made Xia Yu choke.

For example, the "Nanhai No. 1" shipwreck, a wooden ship that transported porcelain along the Maritime Silk Road in the early Southern Song Dynasty, sank in the Yangjiang waters of Guangdong Province. In the past, the Yangcheng Salvage Bureau and the British Salvage Company wanted to salvage the sunken ship of the East India Company. Rheinburg, and the accidentally discovered shipwreck "Nanhai No. 1".

This shipwreck with a history of more than 800 years was discovered in August 1987, but because the mainland lacked sufficient salvage technology and strength, the information had to be kept hidden until it was salvaged in 2003. There are more than 4,000 pieces in total. Rare cultural relics, valued at more than 100 billion yuan in future generations.

It’s a good thing that this treasure ship was taken back by the mainland.

But there is also the Huaxia Taixing shipwreck, with a million pieces of porcelain on it. It struck a rock in the South China Sea in 1822 and sank. It was accidentally discovered when a British marine company salvaged the 16th-century Huaxia shipwreck. The salvage expert Mike Ha did not respect it at all. In order to create a gimmick and facilitate the hype of Huaxia's history, it is estimated that the 650,000 pieces of porcelain that were salvaged were broken, and the remaining 350,000 pieces of porcelain were sold for auction in Germany. At that time, only 72 pieces were auctioned back by Huaxia Dehua County.

This is definitely an insult to Chinese culture!

There are even more unrecovered shipwrecks similar to Taixing and Nanhai No.1.

To sum up, the well-known direction of shipwreck salvage is along the ancient fixed trade routes and the seas of war.

The East is mainly concentrated in the Indian Ocean, and the West is mainly concentrated in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Maritime Silk Road in the East, as well as the transportation routes of the East India Company and other companies in the Indian Ocean, this piece of treasures such as gold and porcelain is simply not too much.

The Atlantic Ocean was mainly the route that European countries used to transport gold cargo when they colonized the Americas. When Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other countries competed for maritime supremacy, not too many ships were sunk, and the sunk gold was countless.

In addition to these two pieces, there are also pirate shipwrecks, shipwrecks in World War I and World War II, etc., especially the shipwreck in World War I and World War II. The news is the closest to the present. The key is to look at the ocean salvage technology and the secret luck.

Xia Yu thinks that her luck will never be bad, and coupled with her own guidance, the probability of finding a shipwreck is the greatest.

So what he needs most is to have a top marine salvage company, and it must be strong enough to have enough ships to operate separately at the same time.

Although the more the salvage fleet, the greater the expenditure, but the greater the probability of success.

He is not bad for money, and pulling out his legs is enough to raise a large marine salvage company.

So the most important thing at the moment is to have a boat and a number of crew members.

Although he has successively acquired Wharf, Hutchison Whampoa, Jardine Consortium and Swire Consortium before, there are also shipping companies involved.

However, Xia Yu did not take the shipping company as an acquisition target because he knew the trend of the world shipping market.

In the overall acquisition process, although this huge consortium’s cross-shareholding company acquired equity in companies such as Swire Shipping.

But the rest has been cleaned up.

So that there is no shipping company in Xia Yu’s business empire.

But this also avoids the loss caused by the shrinking shipping market.

Think about a newly built Panamanian ship worth 28 million US dollars in 1980, and the price of a second-hand ship will not exceed 10 million US dollars.

According to the trend, the market will continue to shrink, and it should fall to the lowest point around September 1986, and then it will begin to bottom out.

So there are still nearly two years left.

But since it is going to be used now, and not intending to become the world's ship king immediately, Xia Yu naturally will not continue to wait.

Anyway, his consortium has huge shipping demand. For example, Pacific Oil Company and Bluestar Mining Company are the two largest customers, while Rolls-Royce Motor Group and Tiangong Automobile Group are also major customers.

Whether it is an oil tanker or a bulk carrier, there is a huge demand.

Even if we acquire a shipping company now, as long as we don’t want to add new ships and have a consortium’s shipping business, we can’t lose money!

The shipping company backed by his consortium has advantages that other shipping companies do not have!

"I just heard that Wheelock will not be able to hold it anymore. Check what the situation is. If it is appropriate, buy it, so as not to be bought by others later, I can use it in a hurry..."

After thinking a little bit, Xia Yu made a decision in his heart, wrote down the matter on the paper, and immediately handed it over to Huo Jianning to arrange it.

And Xia Yu put his mind on the two companies.

Pacific Oil Company and Bluestar Mining Company.

He intends to break hands with the Rockefeller Consortium and the local tyrants in the Middle East in the oil field, and become the supreme master of the Blue Star in the mining field!

Salvaging the sunken ship, apart from saving China’s cultural relics, earning pocket money, and drawing fun, there is no way to make a fortune, and it will not play a pillar role in his career.

But if you can become one of the giant crocodiles that can dominate the world's energy and resources, then the influence is not necessarily.

Especially in the two fields of gold and diamonds, the Rohill family has always had a huge influence.

It’s nothing more than the diamond industry. Compared with the gold industry, shoes are not worth it.

But as long as the Roshir family still has the strongest influence and pricing power in the gold field, even if he has given the Roshir family two knives, the Roshir family can still recover from blood sucking everywhere. .

But in the final analysis, although the gold futures have the greatest influence in the field of gold, the most important source is gold mines.

If it is sitting on the world's most gold mines, it will occupy the largest market share in global gold mining every year.

The Rohill family wants to control the price of gold futures, so they have to look at his face!

"You have to think about it, which big mines and oil fields are still undiscovered."

"The names and part of the information of the well-known big oil fields and big mines in later generations can be remembered, but the specific information is a bit vague. It is a joke. It seems that the global oil and mining industry pattern and discovered resources must be investigated first."

"This is a big project!"

"Fortunately, I have been collecting global industry information before. Although I did not try my best to collect it due to manpower reasons, there should be certain results."

"Now we have to tilt resources and do our best to do this..."
