In 2012, Odyssey Marine Salvage salvaged 48 tons of silver ingots from the British merchant ship SS Gairsopar, which was worth £23.7 million at the time.
This time, Xia Yu felt that there was more and less. The Polaris returned to Kana Island with a full load, and the maids on the island had already made preparations.
They picked out the large silver ingots from the mud and piled them on the dock.
The total weight is easy to calculate. One silver ingot weighs 40 kilograms, and there are 2034 silver ingots in total, which multiply by 81.36 tons.
The current international price of silver is US$25 per ounce, and more than 81 tons of silver is worth more than US$65 million.
It was a profit, a profit of half the Polaris's gross profit. Although Xia Yu would not actually sell these silver ingots, he had a clear understanding of his gains.
Also, celebrating the New Year on the island this year will definitely not be boring.
The trailer acted as a truck, pulling the silver ingots one by one to the basement of the main castle for storage. It was time for them to return to the Magic City.
The treasure hunt ended along with the last vacation. Sherlock No. 2 had been waiting at the airport for a long time. Xia Yu and Xiao Jiang boarded the plane in the night.
"Buzz~~"
The plane soared into the sky, leaving Kana Island behind. The excitement of treasure hunting faded, and what remained was accumulated fatigue.
The two yawning people didn't talk much. They fell into a deep sleep after washing up. When they opened their eyes again, the plane had landed at Hongqiao Airport.
The airport is busy after the holiday. Many people come back on time to go to work. After getting off the plane, they go to the company without even going home.
Jiang Baiying was no exception. She got on the airport car and went straight to Xia's Biology. She gave her luggage to Xia Yu to take home and come back to pick it up after work.
As the boss, Xia Yu decisively skipped work.
No, it should be working from home. When I return to my new home, I first get to know the current situation of the group.
One of the most important tasks in the first half of 2021, the Lunar Integration Module Laboratory has been successfully transported to San Francisco and will then be assembled and adjusted at SpaceX headquarters and the Falcon Heavy.
According to the original plan, the launch was on New Year's Eve, so they still had plenty of time and there shouldn't be any problems.
For this project, Xia Yu spent nearly 300 million US dollars, in exchange for a considerable amount of experience points, and also laid a solid foundation for the Universe Mining Company.
In early February, as the New Year was approaching and the Chinese were preparing for the New Year, the brand new Falcon Heavy, ready for launch, was towed out of the rocket warehouse and transported to Merritt Island on the east coast of Florida.
The Kennedy Space Center is on the island. SpaceX's commercial orders are mainly based on leasing launch sites from NASA. Its own Boca Chica launch site is mainly used to test starships, with big launches happening every few days.
Xia Yu kept in touch with them until the family of three had packed up and prepared to go to Kanai Island again to spend the winter and celebrate the New Year.
When Xia Yu went there again a month later, she asked her senior what activities they had for the New Year. She said that this year she and Jiang Shengnan were going to Ding Mi's house to celebrate the New Year.
Okay, since you don’t want your boyfriend anymore, let’s go with a few women. He still has his parents anyway.
Sherlock No. 2 set out on his journey again and learned that the plane cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Lin Shuqin and Lao Xia did not say that Xia Yu was extravagant this time.
Compared with his son's net worth of more than 300 billion yuan, this amount of money is not even a fraction, so there is no need to be so stingy.
Besides, you get what you pay for. The riding experience of Sherlock 2 has also skyrocketed. You can say goodbye to sleeping chairs in the four bedrooms and sleep from takeoff to destination, which is very suitable for large families to travel together.
Currently they are a family of three, but will soon be a family of five. When they have grandchildren in the future, all these rooms can be used.
Buying a private jet is just like buying a house. You have to consider its residential properties. All three of them expressed satisfaction with Sherlock No. 2.
By the way, I don’t know if that girl Su Ya has noticed the hints they gave her. It’s better to talk about many things earlier. Regardless of whether she can end up with Xia Yu or not, Lin Shuqin and Lao Xia both like this girl very much.
After a night's rest on the plane, the three of them returned to Kana Island again. The sunshine on the island was still as bright and the air was still as fresh. It was a completely different feeling from being in the city and in the mountains.
"Dad, Mom, look, this is what I got last time."
Leading his parents to the basement of the main castle, Xia Yu showed them his treasure hunting achievements.
"Are these all silver ingots?"
Old Xia moved closer and tried to pick up a piece, but each piece weighed 40 kilograms and required both hands to lift it.
"Well, 80 tons in total. I want to melt them down and make them into floor tiles to cover an entire hall of the main castle."
Xia Yu helped pick up a silver ingot and handed it to his father.
"So many? Wouldn't it be too tacky to melt them into floor tiles?"
Lin Shuqin asked.
Her taste has improved now and she is not very interested in gold and silver jewelry.
"No, it's not like I'm wearing it on my body, and it's just one hall, so it won't have any impact."
Xia Yu comforted his mother.
No matter how precious the metal is, in the eyes of the rich, it is just a building material, no different from cement and sand.
He got down to work right away. During the days before the Chinese New Year, he and his father melted and cast silver floor tiles on the ground during the day. At night, he went to the honeycomb base and made furniture and decorations with Walter in the material processing center on the third floor.
Walter has become accustomed to the life here and carries out the tasks assigned by Xia Yu meticulously. Silver statues, silver railings, and silver relief murals come out of the printer like an assembly line.
Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, wanted to illuminate the world with silver, but the Silver Room he built with 200 tons of silver only illuminated the Palace of Versailles for seven years before it was melted down and cast into silver coins to pay for the war.
