Chapter 495: The first day box office of "East is Red, West is West"



After all, this porcelain vase with two dragons playing with a pearl is beautifully decorated with blue and white patterns and has a texture as soft and smooth as jade.

"Yes, and this one is coral, right? It's crimson and very beautiful. Why are there two big lobsters?" Song Zhuer said.

For a moment, everyone's attention shifted from the porcelain vase to the coral and lobster.

"I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious for now. I need to go wash off the sea water first." Chen Muyang waved his hand quickly and said.

Then I went back to the cabin, took a shower and changed into dry clothes.

"Well, this is what happened..."

"After I got into the water, I dived all the way down, more than 60 meters, and saw this red coral. It was very eye-catching in the sea, so I thought about getting some when I came back."

"Then I continued diving. When I reached over 80 meters, I picked up a net full of abalone. They were all quite big. We'll have abalone tonight."

"Just at this moment, I was about to come back, but I was blinded by a flash of golden light. That's what it was."

Chen Muyang took out the small gold bar and showed it to everyone.

"Then I dug through the soil, rotten garbage, and seabed plants at a depth of more than 100 meters, and found a wooden boat."

"The wooden boat was huge, about 30 meters long. It had something like 'Nanhai' written on it. There were a lot of things on board, including gold, silver, jewelry, bottles and jars. This bottle was from the boat."

Chen Muyang briefly explained it.

"No, you discovered a shipwreck on the seabed just by diving?" Young Master Wang stared with his eyes.

"That's what happened. Then I came back. I was delayed for a while to catch these two big lobsters, so I made everyone worried."

"No, I already called the police. Now that you're here, wouldn't that mean I made a false report?" Young Master Wang said.

Coincidentally, at this moment, an alarm sounded on the sea, and several blue and white yachts approached from afar.

"It's okay. This thing has to be handed over to the higher-ups anyway." Chen Muyang pointed to the porcelain bottle.

The yacht stopped beside the fishing boat, and a uniformed officer boarded the boat and asked:

"Who called the police before?"

"Officer, it was me who hit him. Sorry, the person has already come back. I'm sorry to bother you all." Young Master Wang stepped forward and said.

"I'm glad there's no accident. We'll pack up then." The police officer nodded, his eyes sweeping over the people on the boat, lingering on the porcelain bottle for a moment.

"Wait a minute, officer, there's something else." Young Master Wang said.

"What else? Please tell me."

"We discovered an ancient shipwreck with a large amount of cargo on it. This porcelain bottle was taken out of the ship." Chen Muyang said while pointing to the porcelain bottle.

"Ancient shipwreck?" The police officer was stunned.

This sea area has been scooped countless times, and some sunken ships have been salvaged. I didn’t expect it still exists now.

"Yes, I also hope you can help contact the Yazhou Cultural Relics Bureau." Chen Muyang nodded.

"Okay, I'll have someone contact the Cultural Relics Bureau right away."

......

More than an hour later.

A salvage vessel approached the fishing boat.

"Comrade, is this the shipwreck you discovered? I am Li Wendong, a cultural relic of Yazhou."

The leader was a middle-aged, elegant man with a meticulously slicked-back hair, who was taken to the fishing boat by the police officer.

"Hello, the sunken ship is more than a hundred meters below the sea surface. You can send someone down to take a look first." Chen Muyang nodded.

"Comrade, you look familiar to me. Have we met somewhere before?" Li Wendong looked at Chen Muyang.

At this moment, the police officer whispered a few words in his ear, and Li Wendong suddenly understood.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen Muyang. I've heard of you for a long time!"

"Director Li, you're too polite. This sunken ship is quite large and may require a salvage vessel."

"There's no rush to salvage the vessel for now. Please, Mr. Chen, briefly explain the situation so we can formulate a salvage plan."

“…blah blah blah… That’s basically the situation.”

"Okay, thank you Mr. Chen for letting me know. This porcelain vase looks a bit like a plum vase with a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl. If it's real, it must be over a thousand years old."

"Then this requires your professionals to identify it, but I need something from the ship, and I hope you can agree." Chen Muyang said.

Upon hearing this, Li Wendong frowned slightly.

Why didn't he take it beforehand? No one would know about it anyway, but he brought it up now.

Unless this thing is extraordinary.

"Is it this plum vase with a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl?"

Li Wendong wasn't sure what Chen Muyang wanted, but given Chen Muyang's identity, it was difficult for him to refuse directly.

If it were someone else, he might have started cursing.

"No, didn't you just say there were a few pieces of wood on the boat? I need one." Chen Muyang shook his head, paused for a moment, and then said:

"If Director Li can't make the decision, I'll find someone who can."

"No, no, I can make the decision. It's just a piece of Hainan Huanghuali wood, and there are plenty of them on the boat."

Li Wendong said quickly that he thought they wanted some important cultural relics.

Although Hainan Huanghuali is precious, there is not only one piece.

"Thank you very much, Director Li. Just send it to the Tomato Hotel for me when the time comes." Chen Muyang bowed.

"Okay, then I'll go and deploy the salvage work first."

Li Wendong took away the plum vase with the pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl.

Not long after, another salvage ship arrived and began salvaging the sunken ship.

The fishing boat retreated more than a hundred meters.

......

"Your luck is so good! You actually encountered a shipwreck while diving." Young Master Wang said as he looked at the salvage work in full swing over there.

"Then why don't you just say 'May your fortunes be as great as the heavens and your life be as long as the heavens'?"

"Get lost! Why don't you do something like, 'The sun rises in the east, and I am the only one who is invincible?'"

"Mu Yang, the first day box office of 'A Chinese Odyssey' is out." Huo Tingting came over at this time with a tablet computer, which displayed the real-time box office of the Spring Festival movies.

"One hundred and seventy million? Not bad. It fermented for a day yesterday. I guess it will rise in the next few days." Chen Muyang took a look and nodded.

"I have to say that I am very wise. It is easy to make money following you." Young Master Wang also took a look.

During the entire Spring Festival box office, "A Chinese Odyssey" topped the list with 170 million yuan.

The second place is also a Lunar New Year blockbuster, which barely reached 80 million, less than half of "A Chinese Odyssey Part One".

The third and fourth ones are even fewer, so it’s better not to mention them.

"You want me to make money easily, and I want you to provide me with services, right? This is a win-win situation. No, with Sister Ting's strong working ability, it's a win-win-win situation for us." Chen Muyang said.

"Husband, why do you only want a piece of wood? There are boxes of gold, silver and treasures being fished out over there." Song Zhuer suddenly said.

"We're not short of money, so why would we need those? But wood is different. It's hard to find high-quality Huanghuali wood. It's also good for making beads."
