From The Island Owner To The King
From the Island Owner to the King: Section 7 Stacks of Gold and Silver Coins

The tonnage of this Spanish sailing ship was about 500 tons, in the colonial era, of regular size until the end of the great sailing ships in the mid-17th century.

I can confirm that this is a Spanish galleon.

Ships These kinds of ships are arguably one of the most legendary sailing ships in history. As the epitome of Spanish maritime supremacy in the 16th to 17th centuries, they were often associated with invincible treasures, pirates, conquerors, and fleets.

This ship has a large hull and dead weight. The famous Spanish treasure fleet consisted of such ships.

I found a Spanish sailing ship on the seabed without being boarded by other treasure hunters. As long as it wasn't too unlucky, there would be great gains, so why not let Chen Rui get excited.

Chen Rui turned on the underwater infrared video recorder to start recording.

Chen Rui spent some time cleaning up the mud on board.

After a while, the whole picture of the Spanish galleon was revealed, as the hull was covered with mud and sand, and kept in an environment isolated from the air for a long time, and the ship remained intact.

The oak treated with special methods has been soaked and corroded with seawater for hundreds of years without any sign of softness or decay.

Chen Rui took an underwater infrared video recorder to swim to the ship's warehouse and began recording scenes inside the cabin.

The barge was dark.

Under the strong light of the mining lights, the scene in the ship shed was a clear glimpse.

Chen Rui found many corpses and looked grim. The ghostly image of the shipwreck appeared in Chen Rui's mind.

The wreckage reverberated day and night in the empty, cold wreck, footsteps, sighs, and mourning.

From the appearance of these bones in the ship's shed rather than on the deck, it can be concluded that the ship was not attacked by pirates, but sank in a storm in Shanghai.

Chen Rui gathered the precious items that could be seen at the top of the ship's warehouse into pregnant sea beads.

These included gold and silver coins on the crew, decorations on the ship, silver tableware in the restaurant, and a bronze cannon mounted on the ship.

The top is still behind.

A place to store supplies at the bottom of the ship's warehouse.

Chen Rui swam carefully.

The barn door was closed and locked, but after a long soak in the seawater, the key rusted.

Chen Rui twisted her hand gently, and the key was twisted.

He pushed open the door, and for a moment, blinded Chen Rui's eyes.

It was a treasure ship that transported plundered gold and silver jewelry from the South American colonies to Spain.

Hundreds of large boxes were placed in the warehouse.

Some of the boxes had been soaked in seawater for a long time and had been corroded, revealing coins and gems of gold and silver inside.

Of course, this scene was also taken by an underwater infrared video recorder.

Chen Rui stuffed the box into the pregnant Haizhu room.

Next, I searched again and made sure that nothing was missing.

Eventually, the ship was also put into pregnant Haizhu, and a shipwreck museum could be built in the future.

The Spanish galleon is highly manicured, highly representative, and symbolic. When you look at this Spanish galleon, you will think of the sailing era of the 16-17th century, the invincible fleet, the golden treasure ships, the golden treasure ships, the pirates ... ..

Connected with a huge treasure.

I believe many people are interested in this Spanish galleon.

After three days, Chen Rui calculated the harvest.

300,000 Spanish gold and silver coins, 300 pounds of precious stones, 6 pieces of artillery, some silver tableware and decorations, the initial estimated value is more than 200 million US dollars.

What to do with this treasure became the next thing Chen Rui had to do.

There are two ways.

First, gold and silver coins as well as silver tableware and decorations were melted into gold and silver bars, sold at current gold and silver prices, and gems were sold to jewelry stores in batches.

This is the safest way to do this. You won't reveal your secrets, and you won't have to worry about the Spanish government and the government chasing Chen Rui for the treasure of this huge sunken ship.

However, fusing gold and silver coins into gold and silver and selling them at the current price of gold and silver has greatly reduced the wealth acquired, he said, and in the end only get more than 100 million US dollars.

This damaged treasure is worth US $ 200 million, which is based on the cultural value of Spanish gold and silver coins.

Second, to entrust the auction company to the auction, so as to obtain greater benefits.

However, Chen Rui will likely be brought to justice by the Spanish government and government to recover this damaged treasure from Chen Rui.

In the end, Chen Rui chose to commission the auction company for two reasons.

For one thing, the location of the shipwreck was on the high seas, and Chen Rui could store at least 90% of the treasure.

Second, it is a merchant ship, and the transport of coins is actually a commercial act, not a state action.In this case, the International Rescue Convention protects the interests of rescue, i.e., the wreck of a commercial ship belonging to the rescue.

There are many precedents.

For example, British professional treasure hunter Michael Hatcher rescued the Qing Dynasty shipwreck 'Godmarson' in the South China Sea and secretly pulled them into the high seas. One year later, with 'unclaimed shipwrecks allowed to be auctioned off,' he sold the ship The items were entrusted to Christie's Auction House in the Netherlands.

In September 1998, the owner of a German cement factory, Tilman Waterfau, under the name "Exploring the Sea Company", organized a professional team to carry out the wreck of the Tang Dynasty "Blackstone" In the end, the, after buying the cultural relics that were salvaged for several years, Singapore's "Sentosa" agency bought a total of 30 million US dollars in 2005.

Under the terms of both International Rescue Laws alone, Chen Rui believed that the Spanish government and government had a lawsuit against themselves. The Spanish government and government have a 90% chance of losing.

Therefore, in order to maximize the benefits, Chen Rui decided to entrust the auction to the auction company. Chen Rui is confident enough to fight lawsuits with the Spanish government and government, and is willing to have more lawyers for Chen Rui, a future billionaire.

After half a month.

News that ‘Lucky Star’ was saved suddenly shocked the world.

'Lucky Star' was the name Chen Rui gave to this Spanish sailing ship.

This Spanish sailing ship is indeed 'luck star' Chen Rui.

Piles of well-preserved Spanish gold coins, silver coins, gems, and high-precision Spanish galles appear in major media newspapers, TV news, and the Internet.

I surprised everyone who saw the news, and I was jealous when I was surprised.

Soon, the experts in the field evaluated the treasure of the shipwreck.

The final estimated value is more than 250 million US dollars, which is more than 50 million US dollars from 200 million US dollars Chen Rui.

The owner of the treasure, Chen Rui, who stood next to the Spanish sailing ship, also became the focus of the world.
