Chapter 64: Scheming against each other
Xiao Peng's face was full of smiles, and Alan's face was also full of smiles!
"This Chinese idiot!" Alan was overjoyed: "It was so easy to get rid of him!"
Richard frowned and said, "Dad, why did you let them go? It would be better to keep them here!"
"What are we doing here?" Alan's eyes widened. "Let them cause trouble for us? What if that shark attacks our equipment? We're racing against time! What should we do if a 'Vulture' comes over?"
Richard shook his head and said, "If the Vulture had been here, they would have been here long ago! Didn't we steal our salvage information from someone else? Dad, I'm not worried about the Vulture right now. I'm worried about Moreau! I'm afraid he'll come and cause trouble for us!"
Alan laughed heartily at his son's words. "Don't ever worry about Moreau! Do you think he's capable of salvaging the situation? That nerd, he's cooperating with us with his own investigative information without even signing a contract. It's like God sending us money! Let him make a fuss! This is just a verbal agreement. Even if it goes to court, he'll definitely lose! Besides, do you think he has the money to hire a lawyer?"
Richard sighed. "But can we be sure of the authenticity of his investigation information? How long have we been investigating here? We did find two shipwrecks, but none of them are worth salvaging!"
"This isn't your first day in the underwater salvage industry! How can there be 100% authentic information? It all depends on luck!" Alan said, "Although Morrow is a bit of a fool, his information is quite reliable! Richard, you know our company's financial situation. We have to make money by any means necessary!"
Richard said, "If you want to do whatever it takes, you shouldn't let Xiao leave!"
"Why?" Alan asked puzzled.
Richard asked, "Do you know Marineland Ocean Theme Park?"
Alan asked doubtfully, "The one in Antibes?"
"Yes!" Richard nodded. "The director there is called Vincent Brown. He once asked me if I had any connections to get the shark. He offered me one million euros!"
"What?" Alan's eyes widened. "That shark is worth one million?"
Richard hummed, "The price is still going up. It's so expensive because this thing is difficult to handle! After all, that shark is too famous! It's been on TV and saved people, and it was always with Xiao. It's still unclear whether this shark is only close to Xiao Peng or everyone. So many ocean hunters are waiting and watching. Even if there are ocean hunters who are tempted by the money, it's not easy to find this shark in such a vast ocean. Now, anyone who finds any trace of this shark can be sold for 20,000 euros!"
"How come I don't know this?" Alan said with his eyes wide open.
Richard smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I used the satellite signal on the ship to browse the website and you called me a spendthrift! You can't just focus on salvaging the shipwreck without contacting the outside world! How about I sell the information about this shark? I could make 20,000 euros!"
Alan glared at him. "Are you stupid? Which would you choose, 20,000 euros or 1 million euros?"
Richard said helplessly, "Dad! But we don't have the tools or experience to catch sharks!"
Alan said angrily, "What kind of experience is needed for this? Just use the tranquilizer gun!"
"But we don't!" said Richard.
Alan thought for a moment and said, "Contact your friends in Marseille to buy a set of equipment and send it over!"
Richard shook his head. "Dad, everyone in the French community is staring at that shark right now. If I go and contact them to buy equipment, it will definitely attract attention and people will follow me!"
Alan was silent for a moment and then said, "Then let's go abroad! Richard, tell everyone to suspend work and go back tomorrow to rest. After you go back, go to Spain and find Sergio in Cabrera. Ask him to help you get these devices and then smuggle them back!"
"Are we not looking for shipwrecks anymore?" Richard asked.
Alan said without hesitation, "Of course we have to find the shipwreck, but we can't let go of this kind of money! One million! The wealth in the shipwrecks on the seabed may not be worth that much! Talk to that guy named Vincent Brown and ask for a higher price! Tell them this shark is one-of-a-kind!"
Richard hummed, "Leave it to me! But who will keep an eye on the shark when we go back?"
Alan pointed at the receding Red-Headed Boat and said, "As long as Xiao is here, are we afraid we won't find the shark? But everyone knows this! So we have to race against time and act quickly! Tell everyone, hurry up and search the area below. If we don't find anything by the time we call it a day tonight, pack up everything and we'll return tomorrow!"
"No problem!" Richard ran back to inform everyone, and Alan's eyes turned into euro symbols as he looked at the 'red-headed ship'.
Doesn't Xiao Peng, this idiot, know that many people are eyeing that shark called Nightingale? He even offered it to himself!
This is forcing yourself to get rich!
One million! Not counting the money from the salvage company, I can put it all in my pocket!
Alan has already started thinking about how to spend the money!
On the Red Head Ship, Felix asked Xiao Peng in confusion: "Captain, why do we have to leave here?"
"Let's go to a deserted place and have a good dive!" Xiao Peng said happily while driving the boat.
Xiao Peng went to find Alan because he wanted Alan to drive him away.
He saw Alan's work map and knew their search area, work location, and the places they had searched. The next step was to hide from them and go to places they had not searched yet, so as to hide from them and look for the sunken ship by himself!
What he is doing now is the work of a 'vulture', but Xiao Peng has no psychological burden at all - I want to make money!
Poverty breeds evil schemes, wealth fosters conscience, and full granaries lead to knowledge of etiquette!
A person who is afraid of being poor will never miss an opportunity to make money!
Besides, there is no law that says the sunken ship belongs to them. There is nothing wrong with them making money by their own ability without stealing or robbing!
After arriving at the place, he couldn't wait to put on the oxygen tank and dive into the sea. However, he didn't dare to go into the deep sea with such an ordinary oxygen tank, otherwise what if it burst due to the pressure.
Finally, he came up with a solution. He hung an oxygen tank on the bottom of the boat and directed Nightingale to go to the bottom of the sea. Every hour, he would return with the oxygen tank on his back, pretend to be deficient, and replace it with a new one before going down again!
He doesn't actually have to work so hard! But the possible existence of a shipwreck under the sea is what motivates him!
It’s all money!
When a man is poor, his ambition is short. When a man is thin, his hair grows long! Xiao Peng is full of motivation when he thinks about the wealth waiting for him at the bottom of the sea!
It must be said that with the Nightingale, his search speed was very fast. He spent three hours to circle the seabed of the entire search area.
But as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After one round, Xiao Peng felt very disappointed!
