Bai Yu remained remarkably calm in the face of the baskets of gold and silver ingots in the warehouse.
Although there are nearly a thousand catties of silver ingots and several dozen gold ingots weighing close to a hundred catties,
After removing 30% of the impurities, these gold and silver ingots are still worth over 20 to 30 million, which is no small sum.
For many people, this amount of money may be something they could never achieve even after a lifetime of hard work.
However, for Bai Yu and the others, this amount seemed insignificant and not a particularly noteworthy figure.
It's not that Bai Yu and his group have become arrogant, but rather that the amount of money that Bai Yu, Wang Hai, Lu Sheng, and others have access to is far greater than this sum.
Even their annual salaries are in the eight figures; none of them are less wealthy than the gold and silver ingots in front of them.
As the saying goes, money gives heroes courage. While money isn't everything, it can certainly boost a person's confidence.
The richest among them is Bai Yu. He's so rich that he doesn't even know how much money he has.
Bai Yu had already decided what to do with some of the gold and silver ingots in front of him.
This year is almost over. Every year at the end of the year, Bai Yu's company needs to prepare benefits for its employees, especially at the year-end party, where there are more prizes and cash.
Bai Yu was originally thinking about what kind of gifts to prepare for the employees this year, but now she doesn't need to think about it anymore, since there are ready-made gifts right in front of her.
He planned to take all the gold and silver ingots back with him, then select some to melt down and make into various small gifts or jewelry, which he would then draw at the annual meeting.
As for those gold and silver ingots, they are all cultural relics, precious items with a history of several hundred years.
This was not within Bai Yu's considerations, or it was not the main reason for his consideration.
Besides, Bai Yu wasn't going to melt down all the gold and silver ingots; he kept some for himself.
This might actually increase the value of these gold and silver ingots.
After all, scarcity increases value. Bai Yu melted down a portion of the gold and silver ingots, which reduced the number of remaining ingots, thus increasing their value.
Perhaps if they encounter some enthusiasts who love collecting these cultural relics, they can sell these gold and silver ingots for a high price.
Besides these gold and silver ingots, there is another cabin in this shipwreck that needs to be salvaged, and it is the kind that can be salvaged in the next two days.
You have to say Bai Yu and his crew were lucky. Uncle Liao and his crew had been busy here for almost a month, and Bai Yu and his crew arrived just in time for the final stage of the salvage operation.
After all, their salvage process requires cutting the sunken ship into sections and retrieving them piece by piece.
Previously, when salvaging porcelain and gold and silver ingots, while cutting through these two cabins, they were actually also cutting through the last cabin.
With the other two cabins salvaged, the remaining cabin will be easier to access.
However, one thing needs to be mentioned in advance: there isn't much cargo in this last hold.
At the same time, the goods here are basically useless and can be considered waste.
When they first found the shipwreck, some staff had already gone ashore to check the situation. There were only three cargo holds on the shipwreck.
One cabin contained porcelain, another contained gold and silver ingots and some weapons, and the last one contained silk fabrics.
Silk fabrics are inherently consumables, and these fabrics and silks are products of the Song Dynasty, an era in which items are generally biodegradable.
Although these items have not yet degraded, after being soaked in seawater for hundreds of years, these silk fabrics no longer resemble their original appearance.
The reason why Bai Yu and his team still need to salvage these items is to bring them up and restore the seabed environment.
Another reason is to see if we can find anything useful or valuable here.
Even though these silks and fabrics have all stained together and their original colors are no longer visible, and they are all mixed together, what if there are some different things?
Regarding what Uncle Liao said, Bai Yu and the others also said that they would stay with the salvage ship for a few days, and after the last cabin was salvaged, they would sail back to Sanya in their fishing boat.
During these few days, they would return to the fishing boat to rest every night, and during the day they would go to the salvage boat to check on the situation.
After learning about the situation from Uncle Liao and seeing the baskets of gold and silver ingots, Bai Yu and the others returned to the fishing boat to rest.
The next morning at eight o'clock.
Bai Yu was woken up by his alarm clock, and then he sat up in bed and patted Li Xue, who was sleeping in the bed next to his.
"Xue'er, it's already eight o'clock. Are you getting up now? Uncle Liao and the others should be getting ready to work. Would you like to come with us to take a look?"
Since Bai Yue returned to Sanya, Bai Yu was naturally able to sleep in the same crew cabin as Li Xue.
After being patted a few times by Bai Yu, Li Xue opened her eyes with a dazed look on her face, clearly still half asleep.
"Good morning, Brother Bai. Has the salvage operation started yet?"
"I don't know, I just woke up too. Xue'er, why don't you get up and get ready? I'm going to brush my teeth and wash my face, and I'll make breakfast while I'm at it. What would you like to eat for breakfast?"
"Make some porridge, but not too much, I can't eat too much."
"Okay, any leftovers are mine."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he walked out of the crew room.
He first went to the kitchen and started cooking the porridge, since cooking porridge takes a long time, much longer than brushing his teeth and washing his face.
The porridge he cooked was based on my personal appetite, since there were four of them on the fishing boat, and he and Wang Hai both had relatively large appetites, so it was definitely necessary to cook more.
After they finished breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the salvage boat next door.
It was quite lively on the salvage ship at this time, probably because they had reached the last cabin to salvage. After they finished salvaging this one, they could return to port and go home.
Everyone is preparing to go home as soon as possible. There are more ropes that divers will be using on the deck, and it's clear that there will be a lot of people diving today.
Four ropes are already in the water, which means there are probably four divers already working.
