Golden Fishery
Chapter 127
The dissipation of the hot air flow took away the clouds in the sky. Now the sky over the farewell island is spotless and blue, like a large blue crystal hanging in the air, which is clean and pure.
Qin Shiou lay on the deck, picked up his mobile phone and took a few photos and passed them on to QQ space.
It''s ten o''clock in the morning. Newfoundland is in the West Fourth District and Beijing is the East eighth district. There is a difference of about ten and a half hours between the two sides. For China, it''s eleven thirty in the evening.
Eleven or twelve is the prime time for the activities of urban night owls. The QQ group is also lively at this time of day. Qin Shiou came out of the water to say hello. A group of students grabbed him and asked him to return home for dinner.
"Fight local tyrants."
"Birds and animals don''t talk about righteousness now. When he earned 200 yuan in college, he would invite me to roll a string. Now, with a value of tens of billions, grandma is gone."
"Bird. Animal chicory, when will you come back to improve my food?"
"Eat, you must eat. As long as you can eat, it''s nothing!"
Qin Shiou kept laughing. He just wanted to return the information, but his mobile phone rang. Now the yacht hasn''t left the dock, so the signal is very strong.
This is a strange call. After he connects, he first asks, "who are you?"
A steady voice came from the microphone: "Hello, Mr. Qin? I''m Billy stammer from Odyssey marine exploration company. I saw you send a post on the shipwreck Home Forum asking about the shipwreck of the dunfish of the Fernandez family. Excuse me, did you find the shipwreck? "
Hearing the keyword Deng''s fish, Qin Shiou became vigilant and said, "how did you get my phone?"
Registration at the shipwreck home requires mobile phone information verification, but the mobile phone information is kept secret on the forum. Obviously, they didn''t do this, otherwise Billy stromer won''t have his phone number.
Billy obviously guessed his idea and explained, "I have another identity. I''m the moderator of the forum, so I can check the information you left, and then take the liberty to call you."
Qin Shiou was relieved in this way, but he didn''t tell the truth. Thinking of the captain''s notebook he once found, he said, "I recently got an ancient notebook with records about the Dengshi fish. I''m more interested, so I want to consult. Do you have relevant information?"
When he said this, Billy''s voice was a little excited and said, "do you have any information about the location of the sunken dunfish in your notebook? According to our investigation, the ship was loaded with 500 tons of silver when it sank. If we can salvage it, man, we can become billionaires. "
"What, five hundred tons of silver?" Qin Shiou said in amazement. He blinked. Damn it, it''s 100 tons. Is there silver in other parts of the ship?
"Yes, five hundred tons of silver. The ship set out from the port of algecira in 1781, loaded with five hundred tons of silver to Boston, and then transported to New York."
"This batch of silver was the military expenditure lent by the Spanish government to the Washington government at that time to fight against the British raised by the dog Niang and help the then immature United States of America win the war of independence."
"As a result, there was a problem with the ship''s course. When I contacted it for the last time, I found that it had lost its way at sea and crossed the 45 degree line of north latitude. After that, the ship never appeared again and was included in the list of sunken ships."
Billy obviously wanted to salvage the Deng''s fish with Qin Shiou in good faith and said some background information.
Qin Shiou was full of fog. No, it was obvious that there were only 100 tons of silver on the ship. How could it be said that it was 500 tons? It is impossible to say that silver fell into the sea during the sinking of the ship. The captain''s room is well sealed.
So, what about the remaining 400 tons of silver?
Qin Shiou couldn''t understand it, so he threw the question mark to Billy and said, "according to the notebook, man, the Dengshi fish has only 100 tons of silver."
Billy over there was silent. Qin Shiou thought he hung up the phone, but then his voice rang again. This time he was a lot angry and said, "if so, it proves one thing. Damn it, the legend is true. The Biao son of the Spanish dog Niang ruined the Northern Government of the United States at that time!"
Qin Shiou is even more foggy. What is he talking about?
Billy quickly asked, "Qin, are you in Newfoundland? I am an American and now live in California. If I can, I''d like to contact you and have a look at your notebook, because it may be an old case between the two countries! "
"What old case?" Qin Shiou''s fire of gossip burned.
Billy explained: "I don''t know if you know that our war of independence was not our victory over the British. At that time, we received the support of France, Italy, Portugal and Spain."
"At that time, the northern army in Washington was poor, and these countries provided varying degrees of assistance, including 500 tons of silver from Spain, although these silver were lent to the American government in the form of loans."
"However, these materials, which were very important to the northern army, were not delivered to Boston in the end. However, because the American government was the borrower at that time, many unfair terms were signed in this loan transaction. "
"One of them is that when silver leaves Spanish waters, the Spanish government is not responsible for its safety. No matter whether the money is lost or robbed by pirates, the American government should pay for it."
"As a result, this batch of silver was not sent to the land of the United States in the end, but because of the loan contract, after the founding of the people''s Republic of China, the Washington government still struggled to repay the arrears of 500 tons of silver."
"There has been a rumor about this all along. It is rumored that this transaction is a conspiracy of the Spanish. They deceived the U.S. government. There are only 100 tons of silver on board, and the others are silver-plated iron plates! "
"Unfortunately, there is no evidence. This rumor has always been just a rumor and cannot be confirmed. If the information recorded in your notebook is true, it is obviously a fact!"
Billy should be a patriot. When explaining this old case, he was very angry. Words such as'' Fuck '','' Biao''s son ''and'' shit ''came out one after another.
Qin Shiou doesn''t want to get involved in the so-called two-state case. What''s good for him?
Besides, he was talking nonsense about the notebook just now. The notebook was almost soaked. Where can I see the words on it clearly?
So he apologized and refused Billy''s request. Please, he''s just a fisherman now. He just wants to live a leisurely life. It''s better not to involve him in political and economic affairs.
Returning to QQ again, Qin Shiou found that the crowd had been noisy. The topic was that he was too pretending to be B and went out to dive. Zhong Dajun shouted that he was scared away by the topic of inviting guests to dinner.
Qin Shiou had to correct his name: "go away, I answered the phone just now. You''ve turned upside down when I''m not here! It''s just a treat to dinner. The problem is how I invite you. You can''t get together! "
"You buy a plane and fly one by one. Anyway, you are a trench now." Mao Weilong made a bad smile.
When it comes to buying a plane, Qin Shiou is really moved. He really needs a plane( A good activity with pie falling from the sky. Cool mobile phones are waiting for you!
