Big Islander 2

Chapter 119 The World's No. [-] Fishing Team

"Excuse me, Mr. Tang, why do these octopuses obey orders?" A reporter from the Asahi Shimbun, an island country in the East, stood up angrily without waiting for the roll call.From these octopuses, he recalled a familiar scene: maybe they were the ones that caused trouble in the imperial port.

To this kind of question, Tang Jide just smiled: "Let's talk about the origin of these octopuses. When Master Haoran came out to quell the disaster of octopuses in the island country, he also left hundreds of them for driving."

Unexpectedly, the reporter from the island country howled hoarsely: "Protest, protest, these octopuses are extremely unstable factors. They will pose a huge threat to coastal countries, and they must be eliminated!"

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head: "Sir, this great mission of saving the earth is entrusted to you, please—"

There was a snickering sound from below, and the reporter was blushing, but he was still chattering there.Seeing this situation, the "media nemesis" of the pheasant, of course, has to go out in person: "Baga, your words will definitely anger those octopuses. Do you want to repeat the previous scene?"

Although it was a bit threatening, the reporter from the island country, who had always been bullying the weak and fearing the strong, kept his mouth shut unwillingly.However, his argument also made people feel a little more afraid of Peach Blossom Island: These octopuses don't just salvage things from sunken ships.

After a moment of silence, someone began to raise their hands again. After being called by Lao Deng, he stood up and said, "I am a reporter from The Times. Excuse me, how do you plan to distribute the salvaged precious metals among the four countries?"

The issue of benefit distribution has always been the most difficult. It is difficult to find a real balance point, and this is also a topic that many people pay attention to, especially from the British and Russian media.

"After the four-party talks are over, I believe we will give everyone a satisfactory answer." Tang Jide has now learned to circle around with reporters.And he really doesn't have a clear plan now. Although there are traces in the salvage law, things on the negotiating table are always backed by strength. Who knows if the two big powers will open their mouths?

Later, another Washington Post reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Tang Jide, what achievements has the Taohua Island's ocean salvage company made so far, and how will it cooperate with other countries in the future?"

This question is setting a trap. If Tang Jide speaks freely, it may become evidence of being attacked.However, Brother Big Tou is not the boy who didn't have much experience in the world. I saw him gently raising his hair: "So far, our octopus salvage team has salvaged three sunken ships in the waters around Peach Blossom Island. The Odyssey Marine Salvage Company had some intersections. Because both of us discovered the wreck of the Nagashima Maru at the same time, but the other party finally withdrew from the salvage activities due to technical problems.”

Big Brother's mouth is also bad enough. Saying it this way, it is clear that Odyssey retreated despite the difficulties, and Taohuadao is superior, which is a bit belittling others and raising his status.However, the "green hair disease" incident at that time was also aroused in the United States, so the reporter had nothing to say and could only listen.

Tang Jide continued: "As I said at the beginning, Peach Blossom Island hopes to cooperate with all countries to salvage underwater treasures. As for the method of cooperation, it will be formulated according to different situations. But I can explain it here. At least the two sides will seek cooperation on the basis of equality."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a flurry of fluctuations in the venue, because both the Marine Salvage Law and the Convention on the Protection of Marine Cultural Relics avoided the issue of the financial ownership of the salvage, which was resolved through negotiation between the two parties.This is actually powerful for salvage powers such as Great Britain and the United States, because they are actually the rule makers and hold the initiative.

Take the sunken ship in Nauru as an example. If the salvage company in the United States finally obtained this batch of platinum, the huge treasure worth tens of billions will only be owed to Nauru in the pitiful few million dollars. debt interest.

But now, Tang Datou, the spoiler, appeared. In the near future, I believe that those small countries that are unable to salvage sunken ships in the deep sea will not be able to hold back and seek cooperation with Taohua Island.

This will undoubtedly have a huge impact on salvage powers such as the United Kingdom and the United States, at least in terms of the share of salvaged items, they will not be as wanton as before.

Many reporters are aware that this press conference will have a profound impact on the future world's marine salvage industry, so some people are happy and others are worried, with different mentalities.

The limelight of the press conference was basically taken away by Tang Jide alone. Representatives from other countries were only asked a symbolic question, but the big head brother finally said that his mouth was a little dry, and he had to gulp down a big cup tea.

It lasted for nearly three hours before the press conference ended in the reluctance of the reporters.Undoubtedly, Peach Blossom Island has once again entered the eyes of the people of the world, not to mention the dozens of tons of platinum, just the incredible octopus salvage team, it is unknown how many people's eyes have been blinded.

When Tang Jide walked out of the Ocean Treasure Hall, it was already dark outside, so the four-party meeting could only be held tomorrow.After turning around, I didn't find Daxing's figure. After asking, I found out that he was going to eat beef balls.

"You have no loyalty, you actually left us to eat alone!" Tang Jide angrily led the others to kill the generals, and gave Daxing a hard meal.Seeing the big bowls stacked high on Tang Jide's table, Ye Ji said a fair word: "Big head, the belly is our own!"

At this time, Xiao Xiami's phone rang, and after connecting, they chatted for a few words, and then handed the phone to Uncle Datou.Tang Jide hiccupped and heyed twice, when a cold voice came from the other end of the phone.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lao Leng got to the point: "Master Tang, do you know Awa Maru?"

Hehe, is there any business coming so soon? Tang Jide nodded. Of course he has heard of this famous shipwreck of the island country during World War II. It is said that it is full of amazing wealth plundered by little devils. There is a BJ human skull, which can be called a treasure of China.

The Awa Maru is a 1945-ton giant ship. In March 3, the Awa Maru loaded a large number of Japanese retreating from Southeast Asia in Singapore and sailed to Japan. At midnight on April 4, the ship traveled to the waters east of Niushan Island in Fujian Province, where it was spotted by a US submarine cruising in the waters, attacked by several torpedoes, and sank quickly three minutes later.Except for one person, 1 passengers, crew members, 3 tons of gold, 1 tons of platinum, about 2008 boxes of jewelry and cultural relics, 40 tons of tin ingots, 12 tons of rubber, and thousands of tons of rice all sank to the bottom of the sea.Preliminary estimates put the value of the materials on board at more than $40 billion.

In the seventies and 80s of the last world, the Chinese government carried out a large-scale salvage operation on the Awa Maru, but it was limited to the technology at the time. This salvage was not complete. Although a large amount of materials were also recovered, no gold and the legendary BJ's skull that may have existed on board the Awa Maru.It is precisely because of this that they found Taohua Island, sought cooperation, and carried out the second salvage.

Of course, Tang Jide agreed to salvage such a famous shipwreck, and the two parties quickly reached an agreement: all the salvaged items will be shared equally, but if BJ's skull is found, it must belong to Huaxia.

Tang Jide had no objection to this. In fact, even if he was asked to carry out the salvage for free, Brother Da Tou would not say a word, after all, the blood of the dragon also flows in his body.

As soon as he put down the phone, it rang again immediately. After Tang Jide gave a feed, he began to chat. It turned out that a small country in Southeast Asia asked for cooperation in salvaging the sunken ship, and Tang Jide naturally agreed.

"Business is booming, I guess I need to ask Mr. Captain to arrange a salvage plan—" In a blink of an eye, two orders were accepted, which made the big brother happy from ear to ear. If this continues, the octopus salvage team will be busy.

The facts were similar to what he expected. That night, the phone calls never stopped, they were all looking for cooperation in this area. In the end, Tang Jide simply threw the phone in front of the captain, and went to sleep irresponsibly.

The next morning, Tang Jide woke up energetically and found that Mr. Captain was still writing at his desk, with a thick stack of paper in his hand.

Seeing Tang Jide, the captain immediately stared at a pair of red eyes, and opened his arms excitedly: "Tang, my dear, our salvage activities have been scheduled until the end of next year. And in the next few days, there should be more Many clients!"

No wonder Mr. Captain is excited, he can finally stretch out his arms now. Ever since the pirate dream was shattered, Mr. Captain aspired to become the best ocean treasure hunter in the world. Now, he is getting closer and closer to his dream.

Tang Jide got goosebumps when he was called "Dear", so he scratched the back of his head: "But our octopus soldiers are busy salvaging manganese nodules, so you don't have time to spare, so you just drive the salvage boat to complete the task. "

Mr. Captain suddenly became frowning. Without the help of the octopus salvage team, his salvage boat was far inferior to those professional salvage teams in big countries, so he grabbed Tang Jide's arm in a hurry: "Just take out a batch, manganese!" How can tuberculosis compare to the treasure of a sunken ship?"

Tang Jide poked his head with his finger: "I'll give you [-] octopus soldiers, and then divide them into three teams. They can salvage at the same time, and the progress will be much faster. When encountering a big ship, concentrate the superior force."

The captain suddenly realized, and immediately found a new map, and started planning again.The octopus soldiers on Taohua Island are well-trained, strong enough to carry heavy objects, and soft enough to enter small spaces.The arms and feet are long and flexible, even an embroidery needle can be salvaged, which is better than any artificial instrument.

I believe that our octopus salvage team will soon accumulate a lot of wealth for Peach Blossom Island—— Tang Jide thought happily, then walked out of the door and came to the lawn outside the Treasure Hall, jogging while absorbing the lawn provided by the lawn Plant extracts.Although in the city, the plant essence that can be provided is very rare, but it is better than nothing.

And at this moment, a green shadow suddenly protruded from the grass, it was a small green snake, nailed to Tang Jide's calf.

"Call work—" In the distance, a white man put down his binoculars and was bitten by this poisonous snake. If he couldn't inject the serum within 20 minutes, he would definitely die. And this serum is currently only available in the CIA.In order to ensure the success of this mission.In the lawn, he sprinkled a total of twelve poisonous snakes of the same species, and the fate of the big head can be imagined.
