Chapter 109 I have to go and see
"You said it's worth 80 million? Is that Euros?" When Fabian came, his eyes were already glowing green.
Pascal was not too excited. He was busy with the jewelry and couldn't spare the time.
Xiao Peng hummed and said, "Moro, tell everyone what happened."
Moreau told Fabian and Pascal the whole story.
However, Fabian wasn't as excited as Xiao Peng after hearing this. Instead, he went to the side, fetched his laptop, opened the nautical chart, looked at the coordinates, and said, "The location you've drawn is on the Eurasian Fault Zone. Moro, you've created a serious problem. The average water depth there is over 1,100 meters, and the deepest point is 1,700 meters. While that's still lower than the Tyrrhenian Sea's deepest point of 3,700 meters, the seabed topography here is even more complex. The seabed is mountainous, and Tunisia once tried to salvage a shipwreck there, but they sent a national salvage team there for two years and found nothing."
At this point, he lit a cigarette. "And it's not that simple. It was a massive cargo ship!" He gestured as he spoke. "Two hundred kilograms of rhodium is only about this size. Looking for such a small box on such a huge shipwreck? That depends on whether God cares about us."
At this point, he continued, "Let's not even talk about how difficult it would be to find that ship. Even if we did find it, we'd still face many difficulties! The deep-sea demolition and cutting equipment on the Dragon Boat is a bit old and uses thermal laser cutting, which probably wouldn't be useful at that depth! Using explosive cutting would be too dangerous and would have a huge impact on the seabed ecosystem... And the information Moro currently has doesn't allow us to determine the ship's actual location. From searching to salvaging, it's not going to be easy!"
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "What are we doing? Isn't it just to make a living? Are we going to give up because it's difficult? Are you kidding me? If we don't go looking for wealth, are we going to wait for wealth to find us?"
Fabian pulled Xiao Peng aside and whispered, "Xiao, it's over a thousand meters deep. Even if your friend Nightingale helps you, it probably won't be able to get down to that depth. After all, it's a nurse shark. That's not a depth they can move freely at!"
Xiao Peng came to his senses after hearing this. It was indeed as Fabian said, the nurse shark could not go down to that depth. Did it have to rely on itself to swim all over the seabed to find the shipwreck?
"Give me a cigarette!" Xiao Peng said, extending his hand.
Fabian was stunned: "Don't you not smoke?"
Xiao Peng sighed, "I've been studying languages for the past few months. Regardless of how well I've learned, I've actually learned how to smoke. Learning is such a lonely journey!"
Fabian laughed, "Congratulations on having a normal bad habit!"
Xiao Peng put out his cigarette and stood up, saying, "No! I have to go and take a look, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable!"
"But Christmas is coming soon, and I'm afraid the crew..." Fabian hesitated.
Xiao Peng shouted directly, "Fire them all! Give them all the compensation! From now on, I will recruit crew members myself! The stupidest thing I have ever done is trust you to do this!"
Fabian said, "Hey! Xiao! Isn't everyone as hardworking as you Chinese? This is France! I'm looking for the most experienced crew members!"
"And the laziest!" Xiao Peng said angrily, "Damn it, are all the crew members so lazy? This is beyond my imagination!"
Fabian protested, "Xiao, will you work during the Chinese New Year?"
"Of course! I haven't been home for Spring Festival for two consecutive years!" Xiao Peng said angrily: "As long as you are alive, you should jump around. After death, you will sleep forever!"
Fabian coughed dryly twice: "Okay, okay, I hope you can find another madman like you!"
"A lunatic like me?" Xiao Peng slapped his forehead after hearing this. "Damn, how could I forget that! It's so damn easy to find a lunatic like this!"
"Easy to find?" Fabian was stunned.
Xiao Peng picked up the phone directly: "Brother Chen, it's me! I need your help with something..."
Who did he call? Of course, Chen Zetao from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce! There was no shortage of Chinese people abroad who wanted to make money and weren't afraid of hard work! However, this wasn't something that could be done quickly. After all, a ship like this needed experienced crew members! So finding someone would take time.
And this time, Xiao Peng has decided that even if Chen Zetao introduces someone, he will personally check it out! Although being a hands-off uncle is a very pleasant thing, when encountering problems, you are left with nothing but groping in the dark!
After Xiao Peng finished the call, he pondered for a while, picked up his laptop, looked at the nautical chart on it, and fell into deep thought.
"Xiao, what are you thinking about?" Fabian asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng stood up and said, "I'll go over there and take a look!"
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked after hearing Xiao Peng's words.
"Are you going alone?" Pascal asked.
Xiao Peng nodded. "Nonsense! I'll bring you along to hinder me. We each have different strengths. How to deal with the salvaged items is your job. How to create publicity is Fabian's job. As for how to find this ship, that's mine!"
"How are you going?" Pascal asked.
Xiao Peng looked at him like an idiot: "Of course I use the red-headed boat!"
Pascal frowned and became nervous: "Yourself?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Nonsense, otherwise I would have asked a few girls to accompany me to a romantic sea trip?"
Fabian blinked. "Do you need me to contact Connie Carter for you?"
"Connie Carter?" Moreau exclaimed, "Fabian, do you know Connie Carter?"
"Don't even think about it. Connie has always been obsessed with Xiao!" Fabian looked at Xiao Peng with a playful expression.
After hearing this, Moro looked at Xiao Peng with envy: "Boss, you are such a lucky man! Damn it, you have snatched away all the men's dreams!"
Xiao Peng gave the two of them the middle finger and said, "I don't want to waste my time talking to you! Get lost. I'll study the charted route myself."
Fabian was stunned. "Are you kicking us out now? Without even providing food?"
"What the hell!" Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and deal with those crew members for me first! Those who know I'm their boss, and those who don't think they're my boss!"
"That's how it is in France," Fabian shrugged. "If you can't change things here, then join them. I still don't recommend firing them. Firstly, it's a considerable expense, and secondly, recruiting these crew members required a lot of my connections. There's a lot of personal connections involved. It's hard for me to just fire them!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "OK, since you said so, then I will listen to you!"
Fabian's face lit up when he heard this.
Xiao Peng continued, "From now on, you can play with these crew members! We'll go our separate ways!"
