Collection of Gods

Chapter 902 Official Silver
"The price Mr. Gu gave is still quite high."

Just when the atmosphere was getting quieter, Dong Wenhui shook his head and said with a different opinion: "If 3,000 gold ingots with longevity patterns appear in the collection market at once, then its collection value will definitely be greatly reduced. After all, the collection market always emphasizes that rare things are valuable."

"Indeed, the price given by Master Gu is a bit high."

"I estimate that the total value of these longevity gold ingots is only about 1 billion. Anyway, I don't plan to sell them. In recent years, the international gold price has continued to rise. I can only make money if I hold them. Moreover, these longevity gold ingots have auspicious meanings. They are also a good choice to give as gifts during festivals."

Tang Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, his eyes contained some profound meaning, that look that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making people dare not look at him.

Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts.

Now, with six large boxes of gold ingots placed before his eyes, sparkling in the sun, even the most indifferent person to fame and fortune would find it difficult to remain calm and without any greed.

Tang Yuan was not too worried about this.

Because in the face of absolute force, greed will have no soil or space to survive.

The security forces from the Philippines that Tang Yuan brought with him this time were either his absolute confidants who had accompanied Tang Yuan on his travels over the past two years, or they were the elite soldiers who had gone to Africa some time ago to carry out their revenge plan.

The former is absolutely loyal, the latter is absolutely obedient.

They have experienced rain of bullets, witnessed the air-to-air bombs falling from the sky and washing the ground, and experienced Tang Yuan's magical powers. Their awe of Tang Yuan has long been deeply rooted, so no matter what temptation they face, they will not betray Tang Yuan, nor dare to betray Tang Yuan.

They all have families and jobs, and their identity information has been registered the moment they joined Jinwei Security. If they dare to betray Tang Yuan, they will have to prepare for their entire family to flee. By then, even if they make money, they will most likely not be able to spend it all.

When the benefits and risks are not proportional, they naturally will not have second thoughts. What's more, Tang Yuan has always been very generous to them and the welfare benefits he provides them are among the best in the world.

Even animals know how to make the choice of eating one meal after another, let alone humans who have thoughts, wisdom and emotions.

Under the premise that Tang Yuan controls absolute military force, even if someone in the archaeological team has malicious intentions, it will not have any impact on the situation, let alone cause any waves.

The vast ocean and the exotic deserted island.

Here, Tang Yuan has absolute control.

If they work honestly and seriously, Tang Yuan will definitely ensure everyone's safety, and give everyone a big gift after returning home safely. But if someone wants to cause trouble, there is a possibility that they will accidentally die in this deserted island.

Dong Wenhui knew Tang Yuan very well.

Don't be fooled by his gentle and harmless appearance. However, if someone really touches his bottom line, the moment he shows his fangs, blood will be splattered.

Precisely because of this understanding, Dong Wenhui deliberately lowered the price of these gold ingots with longevity patterns after the appraisal experts gave their quotes, in order to prevent some people in his team from being blinded by greed and doing anything unwise.

"Xiong Kai, seal these six boxes of gold ingots. We will take them back to the cruise ship later."

Tang Yuan gave an order to Xiong Kai, then turned to look at Dong Wenhui and said with a smile: "Director Dong, let's strike while the iron is hot and see what good things are buried in the second hiding place?"

"Okay!"

"I'm just curious!" Dong Wenhui responded with a natural expression and a hearty laugh.

After saying that, the two of them walked towards the second hiding place together.

Because of the previous experience with the bait wooden box, many staff members on site became much more cautious, fearing that there were some mechanisms or hidden mines in the hiding place, so the excavation speed was slowed down a lot.

Tang Yuan and Dong Wenhui stood ten meters away from the second hiding place. They watched the deep pit getting deeper and deeper. Finally, they successfully dug through the second hiding place and saw the treasure buried inside. There were far more wooden boxes than in the first hiding place, with a total of fifteen wooden boxes.

"Xiong Kai, be steady when operating the crane. I suspect there is a high probability that there will be bait boxes like the ones we saw earlier inside these wooden boxes." Tang Yuan reminded Xiong Kai.

"Ok."

Xiong Kai responded, looking very serious.

Everyone at the scene witnessed the power of the explosion of the bait wooden box just now. Although the shells in the bait wooden box were antiques from hundreds of years ago, they were more than enough to kill people, so everyone at the scene was very careful in their operation.

Every time a wooden box is hoisted up from the deep pit, Master Zhang, who is in charge of inspection, will bring people over to conduct on-site inspection. If one passes the inspection, it will be transferred one by one. Then the next wooden box will be hoisted up. If it is detected to be a bait box, it will be immediately transferred to an open space for detonation and destruction.

In the end, out of a total of fifteen wooden boxes, only twelve contained treasures, and the remaining three were all bait boxes. One of the bait boxes even contained poison gas bombs. Such a cruel back-up measure made Tang Yuan and others turn green in the face after hearing about it.

The two bait boxes containing artillery shells were dealt with in the same old way. As for the bait box containing the poison gas bomb, Tang Yuan could only send people wearing protective clothing to move it out of the primeval forest first and put it aside for the time being.

After dealing with the three bait wooden boxes, the next step was the exciting blind box opening session. Master Zhang and others were still the ones who opened the boxes. After they opened all twelve wooden boxes, the contents inside surprised everyone again.

There were twelve wooden boxes filled with white silver ingots.

Densely packed, neatly arranged, smooth and brand new.

"Is this a fifty-liang silver ingot minted by the Qing Dynasty's official mint?"

Dong Wenhui is able to become the director of the National Museum, which shows that he is knowledgeable. He was able to recognize the origins of these silver ingots just by taking a glance, without even touching them.

"Official Money Bureau?"

Tang Yuan walked forward and reached out to take out a silver ingot from the wooden box. Compared with the gold ingot just now, this one was heavier and looked quite beautiful.

Dong Wenhui explained with a smile: "You can think of the official money bureau as a financial institution in the Qing Dynasty, and these fifty-liang silver ingots in front of you are standard official silver. They are all in the shape of horse hoofs and can be regarded as the hard currency of the Qing Dynasty. They are widely circulated, and even the currency used in foreign trade is this kind of official silver."

"I see……"

Tang Yuan nodded slightly, with a look of realization on his face.

At the same time, he looked at the twelve large boxes of official silver in front of him, and his guess about the origin of the treasure here became stronger again...
