Chapter 613 You are really shameless
Xiao Peng and Kaxin were still sitting in the cockpit playing "Diablo 3" in SWICTH online, but at this moment, a shrill signal suddenly came from the ship's internal intercom.
"Short-long-long." Xiao Peng said after hearing this: "The ROV is up and has made some discoveries."
After hearing this, Ka Xin stood up and said, "Boss, don't you want to go and take a look?"
Xiao Peng spread his hands: "What are you looking at? It's meaningless."
At this moment, the cockpit door was opened, and Chen Zetao walked over and said, "Brother Xiao, the ROV has emerged from the water, and they brought up a lot of things in the sample basket!"
Xiao Peng, however, looked disdainful. "How many things can an ROV's sample basket hold? Brother Chen, it's not like you haven't salvaged a shipwreck with me before. You've seen a lot of things, so why are you so excited?"
"What do you know? This is a battle for us to clear our reputation! I've thought it through! As long as it can be proved that there is nothing wrong with the shipwreck, I will not get involved in it! You are right! Why should I try to please both sides? I am old, so why should I run around here and there? It's nice to drink, hunt and date beautiful women with you!" said Chen Zetao.
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "Okay, Brother Chen, since you've made up your mind, I'll go with you! Ka Xin, let's go!"
After he put away the game console, the three of them left the cockpit. This time, the crew members did not feel hostile towards him, but greeted him proactively.
Look at them, they found the sunken ship as soon as they arrived! It's not us who are incompetent! It's our command that's incompetent!
Now the live broadcast team is here. Seeing Xiao Peng coming, He Xiao quickly pointed the camera at him. Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Film others. If you say you don't want to broadcast it, then don't broadcast it!"
He Xiao glanced at the director next to him, and the two made eye contact. The camera was directly aimed at the other two men. One was the captain Liu Heping, and the other one Xiao Peng had never seen before. He was about forty years old, with his hair so exquisitely styled. I don't know how much hair wax he used. If a fly stood on his head, his hair would split.
Xiao Peng figured out who this person was even with his heels: This must be Ma Wufang.
He didn't look sick at all. Instead, he said with a smug look on his face, "I told you, this salvage plan is absolutely right! We're sure to gain something if we do this!"
Xiao Peng looked at Chen Zetao in confusion. Chen Zetao whispered, "I told the technical team about the canned luncheon meat you mentioned, and we've developed a salvage plan!"
"What does it have to do with him?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
"It doesn't matter!" Chen Zetao answered without hesitation.
Xiao Peng laughed: "This guy is quite shameless. He speaks as if all the credit is his! It's a shame for such a shameless person not to go into politics!"
They both had very loud voices, and when they arrived, a staff member holding a boom microphone probably wanted to hear what Xiao Peng said, so he raised the long pole with the microphone directly near Xiao Peng, and just happened to hear the conversation between Xiao Peng and the other person.
The entire live broadcast room was filled with joy.
"Xiao Peng is really not afraid of offending people!"
"He's telling the truth!"
"Ma, it's okay. Xiao Peng said you're thick-skinned. Hurry up and refute it!"
Ma Wufang also heard what Xiao Peng said. He looked a little angry, but he didn't dare to get angry at Xiao Peng directly. He came out now to restore his image, so he must control himself at this time.
Just then, the ROV emerged from the water. Ma Wufang coughed twice and said, "The frogmen went into the water and installed the cable for the ROV. The deck crew lowered the ROV out of the water! Now we can see what we've got!"
Xiao Peng was too lazy to argue with him. He wanted to see what was salvaged.
The ROV's sample basket contained several items, including two bronze vessels, a pewter vessel, and several silver items. All of these items were of a Middle Eastern style, making them ideal for museums.
"What is this?" Someone pulled out a metal stick and asked, "Is this a chair leg?"
"It's not a rolling pin, right? It looks very similar to me." Someone next to him said.
"What material?"
"Of course anything that glitters is made of silver!"
"What silver? Damn, it's actually aluminum. A garnet inlaid on a shoddy aluminum rod! I got all excited for nothing."
Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "Aluminum? Are you seeing things?"
"Commander Xiao, I think this thing is pretty good!" The person who spoke handed the metal rod to Xiao Peng: "Here, look, if this isn't made of aluminum, what is it?"
Xiao Peng was also surprised after taking it: "Is it really made of aluminum?"
Ma Wufang, who was standing next to him, became excited after seeing Xiao Peng's expression. He winked at the director, who hurried over and pointed the camera at Xiao Peng, capturing his shocked expression.
Ma Wufang then said, "Hey, Commander Xiao, right? You said the shipwreck down there is worth over 30 million euros. You're wasting the country's...investors' money like this. You should give an explanation, right?"
"Confess? What should I confess?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
Ma Wufang said, "Isn't there worthless aluminum products in the sunken ship below? This is going to be a big deal. How can it be worth 30 million?"
"Are you alright?" Xiao Peng pointed at the other items that had been salvaged and asked, "There's silverware there, why are you staring at this aluminum rod instead of having it appraised?"
"I'm worried that the cargo in the sunken ship is all aluminum and worthless!" Ma Wufang said, "Oh, there's a garnet on it. Is this thing worth a hundred dollars?"
"It's definitely worth it. I'm willing to spend two hundred dollars to buy it!" Xiao Peng said.
Ma Wufang said angrily, "That's not what I'm talking about! I have to be responsible for the investors!"
"Oh? How are you going to take responsibility?" Xiao Peng asked back.
Ma Wufang said, "Of course, we need to determine the value of this shipwreck! We can't let the investors lose money!"
Xiao Peng laughed happily. "Hey, buddy, are you crazy? You're responsible for all the money spent on this ship, and you're still saying you don't want the investors to lose money?"
Ma Wufang, however, looked righteous: "It is precisely because I made a mistake that I must make amends! I cannot allow investors to suffer further losses!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Yo? So what are you going to do?"
"The risk of salvaging this shipwreck is too great! You have to bear the risk here!" Ma Wufang said.
Xiao Peng suddenly understood. "Oh, so I'm going to give you the coordinates for free, and I'm going to guarantee you make money. If you do, I'll have nothing to do with your wealth. If you don't, I'll be held responsible. Is that right?"
Ma Wufang coughed dryly twice. "When you provided the ship's coordinates, you said you would compensate for the loss if the sunken ship was not worth the money!"
"But the shipwreck hasn't been salvaged yet!" Xiao Peng said, "You're really shameless! But I'm not short of money, so how about this? If you really have the final say, I'll give you 30 million, and you can forget about salvaging this shipwreck!"
