I have a paradise

Chapter 419 Treasure

The logbook is relatively well preserved. There is seawater soaking inside, but it is not serious. The box is well sealed and there are several layers of waterproof paper on the outside. Even though the logbook has been soaked in seawater for three to four hundred years, The text can be read clearly.

What makes Wang Yi depressed is that the logbook is in Spanish. Wang Yi's foreign language level is only good at communicating in English, and he knows some Japanese. These are what he used to learn from many Japanese teachers, and he still collects them now. Favorite version of the teaching video of Teacher Tian Haiyi.

He couldn't read the logbook, but Nie Wei understood. As his personal assistant, he bought a lot of knowledge for Nie Wei. There are 20 or 30 commonly used languages, and naturally he understands Spanish.

Let Nie Wei translate it. The person who wrote the diary was a man named Jonah Victor, who was a captain and a downright nobleman.

"This is what it says..." Nie Wei looked through the logbook, and then explained to Wang Yi.

Speaking of the Age of Great Navigation, the first thing everyone thinks of is gold, pirates, slaves, and the New World.Jonah is a downright nobleman. His ancestors were once glorious, but it seems that the most exciting drama will eventually end. His family began to decline after more than a hundred years of glories.In order to revitalize the family and restore the glory of the ancestors, Jonah also put out a lot of funds to form a fleet, wanting to get a share of this magnificent era.

At that time, it was the heyday of Spain. After defeating the sea coachman Holland, Spain won the hegemony of the sea, and the invincible fleet made them invincible until the rise of Britain.This Jonah was born during the fiercest battle between the British and the Spaniards for maritime supremacy. This ship was attacked by a British privateer and eventually sank.

This ship has a nice name called Victory. Unfortunately, this name did not bring him victory.The armed merchant ship eventually sank in this icy water until it was discovered by Wang Yi hundreds of years later.

What Wang Yi wants to consider now is how to deal with this sunken treasure.

With Wang Yi’s current methods, there are several different methods. The simplest is to melt all these gold coins, silver coins, and gold and silver jewelry, and cast them into gold and silver ingots, and then treat them as products from his gold mine and put them in a gold shop. sell.

This is the safest way. It will not reveal the origin of these gold and silver treasures. There is no need to wrestle with the Spanish government. There is no need to worry about those jealous guys pursuing the sunken treasure from Wang Yi.

However, if you fuse gold and silver coins into gold and silver ingots and sell them at the current price of gold and silver, the final wealth will be greatly reduced. Wang Yi estimated that the maximum is only 50 or 60 million U.S. dollars, which is not even 100 million dollars. Wang Yi was unwilling in his heart.This shipwreck treasure can be valued at 200 million because of their cultural relic value. The treasures of the great nautical era are still very valuable for collection.

The second method is to entrust the auction company to auction or transport it back to the domestic collection by itself, so that greater benefits can be obtained.However, as long as this news is released, whether Wang Yi is auctioned or collected by himself, the Spanish government will definitely take him to court as soon as possible to pursue the ownership of the treasure from Wang Yi.

In fact, it is not the first time that the Spanish government has done this. The last time the company that was recourse lost Odyssey Marine, was sentenced to lose by the Supreme Court of the Lighthouse State and ordered the return of the shipwreck treasure worth $500 million to the Spanish government.This is also the largest shipwreck treasure ever recovered.

Of course, the Spanish government can win the lawsuit because the treasures salvaged by Odyssey are from warships. According to the provisions of the international law of the sea, warships belong to the national territory and are a national act. In this case, the salvager needs to return the treasure to the original country. Of course this The law is not in all countries, such as Colombia.

They did not sign the International Law of the Sea. Two years ago, a Spanish shipwreck was found in Colombian waters, loaded with more than 3 billion U.S. dollars of gold. The Spanish government wanted to recourse, but Colombia directly rejected it and declared that the gold belongs to Colombia. The gold in the Spanish shipwreck was illegally plundered from Colombia by the Spanish colonists.

Colombia’s statement is also valid. Spain is not the Spain it used to be. What’s more important is that the shipwreck is near Colombia. It’s useless even if Spain wants to fight a lawsuit. The nose is gray.

The sunken ship discovered by Wang Yi is located in the open waters of the Caribbean Sea, which is on the high seas. The other is that the ship is an armed merchant ship, not a warship. Even if Spain wants to go to court, Wang Yi is not afraid of it, but it is a waste. It takes a little longer.

There is also the direct installation in the storage fence and then the black market. This method takes a long time and the price will be slightly lower, but it will expose Wang Yi's storage fence.Although Jenny, Jiang Jing, and Shang Yuanyuan are friends with Bao Bao, they often communicate in depth, preaching and teaching fluids, but it does not mean that they will not speak out.The human mind is a very complicated thing.

Wang Yi rang and decided to collect these treasures by himself. Originally, he built a private shipwreck museum, which stores 100,000 pieces of marine porcelain. Now, together with this Spanish shipwreck treasure, there are both western and western shipwrecks. Now, his shipwreck museum can be called a veritable name.

Moreover, the main body of this Spanish shipwreck is still intact. Wang Yi can even salvage it to repair it and put it in the exhibition hall for exhibition. There are also those pirates and sailors who left behind, and those bronze guns. These are all very good. Exhibits.

After making a decision in his mind, Wang Yi took out the phone and called his lawyers team. Because he had already done business in the lighthouse country, Wang Yi also went to the village to do what he had done. It was the last time that he was close to him. The lawyer sought by the police station, the world's fourth largest law firm, Shida International Law Firm, provides the most complex and important transnational legal services to international disputes, the financial industry, and multinational companies.

"Hello boss, what can I do for you?" Wilson's voice came over the phone.

"Good day, Wilson, I need your help." Wang Yi said: "I salvaged a sunken ship on the high seas, an armed merchant ship of the seventeenth century, with a treasure on it. I want it to become my legal property. "

"Congratulations, boss, you are so lucky." Wilson was very surprised. "Please trust us, we will help you legally own these treasures!"
