Chapter 1292: Gifts
Unlike Xiao Peng’s live broadcast room which has few barrages, Zeng Yaya’s live broadcast room is already flooded with barrages!
"I can only blame myself for being uneducated. My simple "wow" is enough to get everyone talking."
"If you are uneducated, how can you travel the world?"
"The two of you above, stop flattering each other. I can't say anything else except 'F*ck!'"
"Did you see that just now? A box of gold bars!"
"How many boxes of gold bars have you found? What are you making such a fuss about? Haven't you heard the saying 'Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times'? In those war-torn times, things like gold and jewelry were the most portable treasures."
"Oh, so these are the things we find the most!"
"He even didn't let go of some broken sculptures!"
"Tsk tsk, a broken statue? He's the 'Salvage King', he has a dedicated historian on board, and I'm not trying to brag about him, but any single thing here would be enough to feed you for a lifetime!"
"This is so fucking exciting! I want to salvage a sunken ship! This is going to be rich!"
"Go and fish it out. Can you buy their boat?"
"He originally made his fortune from sailing!"
"Can you compare with him? There's only one 'salvage king' in the world!"
"I'm ready to buy a ticket to see the exhibits at the 'Xiao Pavilion'!"
"I guess those Dutch nobles are going crazy, right?"
"Zeng Yaya, why does Xiao Peng look so unhappy?"
Although Xiao Peng did open a bottle of champagne to celebrate on the screen, he did not look happy at all.
Zeng Yaya saw this comment and explained, "I just asked Mr. Xiao, and he said that the harvest this time was far from what he expected."
A row of ellipsis appeared on the barrage.
Zeng Yaya continued, "Mr. Xiao said that it was obvious that the Dutch royal family and nobles were in a hurry to escape, so they couldn't transfer much of their wealth. They could only move things like gold, silver, and jewelry. There were actually some clothing, shoes, and hats among them. It turns out that European aristocrats were very concerned about their image, even going so far as to starve. So Mr. Xiao said these things disappointed him."
"I really can't stand it anymore. Xiao Peng is too pretentious!"
"Just now, when he was saying that he was being bullied by PETA, I actually felt sympathy for him! Damn it. Why should I feel sympathy for him?"
"Yeah, what a waste of my feelings!"
"Isn't this too profitable? Why doesn't he buy more ships? It's like he knows the locations of all the shipwrecks."
"You don't understand, do you? Why are antiques expensive? Because there are so few of them! If he gets too many, they'll naturally be worthless!"
"You're the only one who understands? He's digging up someone's ancestral grave. Won't those noble descendants rush over to find him?"
"I agree with the above. Did you see that? The phone has been ringing non-stop since the beginning. He's been speaking a foreign language the whole time. Is there anyone who can translate what he's saying?"
"Damn, it's clearly Daxia people speaking bird language? They've forgotten their roots!"
"Don't people in Europe speak bird language? Are you going out there like a blind man?"
"I won't go out! I'm a Daxia person in life and I'll be a Daxia dead person in death! There's no place better than Daxia!"
"I wonder if you won't go out or don't want to go out?"
"I have money, why should I let foreigners make money? I just don't want to go out!"
"If you're so awesome and rich, why don't you go to Xiao Peng's livestream and post comments? Why are you posting comments here?"
"Exactly. That guy just chatted with Xiao Peng for quite some time, and Xiao Peng directly gave him four bottles of champagne. He only posted a barrage worth tens of thousands of yuan? He couldn't even buy those four bottles of champagne! Why don't you post a barrage too?"
"If you're so patriotic, why don't you post a comment and donate to the Deep Diving Base?"
"Where's that person? Damn, he's already exited the livestream!"
"The salvage operation seems to be coming to an end."
"The salvage was pretty quick this time, taking just over five hours."
"Come on, I've almost finished preparing for the live broadcast."
"There must be some treasure on the ship that hasn't been found! Anyone who goes to fish it out now will make a fortune!"
"It's true. Things that Xiao Peng disdains are treasures in the eyes of others!"
"What a prodigal! He didn't even check carefully! There must be valuables on this ship!"
"But who knows where this shipwreck is?"
"Everyone on his ship should know!"
"Ah, bah, Zeng Yaya definitely doesn't know!"
"Let Zeng Yaya ask... Eh? Where's Xiao Peng? Where is he going?"
At this point, everyone noticed Xiao Peng had already left the cabin. Zeng Yaya tried to follow him, but Walter stopped her. Xiao Peng's livestream only showed images of the seabed. Zeng Yaya, not knowing what was going on, tried to lighten the mood in her own room, inviting Chen Cheng, Hua Chong, and the others to take turns explaining the salvage operation, the interesting experiences and risks they encountered at sea, and even inviting the Belarusian girls to perform a dance routine. Zeng Yaya's livestream was actually much more lively than Xiao Peng's.
Over an hour later, Xiao Peng finally returned with Kasin and the others. He spoke apologetically to the screen, "Sorry, sorry, there was a malfunction with the cable connecting the Calypso's winch to the HOV. Several of our marine research experts were nearly stranded on the seabed, so I led a team to troubleshoot. The malfunction has now been resolved, and all the subsea equipment has been returned to the ship. Therefore, I hereby declare that this salvage operation has concluded... Have a few gifts, by the way."
He waved to Kasim, holding a box in his hand. When he opened it, a pile of gold coins appeared on the screen.
Xiao Peng grabbed a handful and threw them on the table. He nodded and said, "There are 28 in total. So, I'll add two more to make 30. We'll have a lottery on the live broadcast room. Each draw costs one dollar, and all the money will be donated to the deep diving base. Thirty people will be drawn, and each will get one of these. Let me introduce this to you. This is a Dutch guilder gold coin issued by the Netherlands in 1917. The obverse is the portrait of Queen Wilhelmina, and the reverse is the coat of arms of the Dutch royal family. It weighs 6.729 grams. Of course, it must have worn out after so many years. Judging from the color, the gold quality is okay. But don't be stupid to melt it down and make a ring when you take it home. This thing can be easily used. Selling poop for 10,000 to 50,000 euros shouldn't be a problem. When Germany occupied the Netherlands, they essentially plundered all of their precious metals, so there aren't many of these coins left. The price difference depends on the quality. Don't be offended by the poor quality of yours; it's all random. Do you understand? If you can't accept this, don't post comments about the raffle. Okay, I'm going to start the raffle, everyone! Once the raffle is over, the livestream will end, and we'll see you next time! By the way, buddy who just posted the comments, I'll send you your address. I'll send you the wine later! Thanks for showing up, bro!
"Don't stop like that! Why are you in such a hurry to stop the live stream? I still want to chat with you more!"
"Hey, that's unnecessary. Why are we in such a hurry to stop the show? Of course we're having a party to celebrate! Everyone's been working so hard all day, so we definitely need to relax! Life on our ship is just so exciting!"
