Chapter 778: Preparations Before the Expedition

The next few days were busy preparing for a series of operations to salvage the shipwreck's treasure.

On the afternoon of the day the cooperation salvage agreement was signed, Ye Tian and they rented a yacht in San Juan.

Compared with the previous Farath 960, the newly leased German Lürssen yacht is much larger, and it is completely a two-order yacht.

This is a superyacht with a length of more than 120 meters, six decks, 40 cabins, a capacity of 70 passengers and crew, and a helipad!

In the process of salvaging the treasure of the wreck, this superyacht will become a base for everyone's life and entertainment at sea, allowing everyone to spend an unforgettable time at sea and make work a pleasure.

In addition, an Airbus helicopter that is matched with this Lürssen superyacht has also been rented by Ye Tian and them, which is convenient for everyone to move and improve work efficiency!

After going to sea, the employees of Brave Explorer, the team of lawyers led by David, and some armed security personnel of Raytheon Security will live and live on this superyacht.

As for the Matisse, they mainly drove the previous Farath 960 operation, which was smaller and more maneuverable, which was more suitable for their use.

At the same time, the NBC TV live reporting team also rented a luxury yacht in San Juan, which is a top planing yacht with a length of about 60 meters from Beneteau, France.

In addition to the yacht, they also rented a lot of underwater filming equipment from their San Juan TV counterparts and moved on to the yacht one after another, in preparation for the upcoming live TV broadcast.

The guys of the Raytheon Security Company headed by Wilson are not idle, they are actively deploying materials, manpower, weapons and ammunition, etc., and they are also coordinating the relationship between all aspects, and they are very busy.

They also chartered a 30-metre planing yacht for Wilson and a couple of lawyers, all of whom were heading to the Caribbean to witness the discovery of the treasure of the Malaga Princess shipwreck.

Russell and the rest of the armed security personnel will be scattered on the deep-sea salvage ship, the Lesen superyacht they rented, and the NBC TV yacht to provide security services.

In the area where the shipwreck of the Malaga Princess is located, there are also two planing yachts leased by Raytheon Security, as well as more than two dozen armed security personnel.

Their main mission there is to keep an eye on the people who have come to see the wind and find a way to blow them away from the waters where the Princess of Malaga is located, and ensure the safety of the shipwreck's treasure.

When Ye Tian and the others arrived at the target sea area with the deep-sea salvage ship, the two yachts and more than 20 security personnel could spread out and be responsible for the perimeter security!

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the day passed quickly.

Soon after getting up the next morning, Ye Tian received news that the deep-sea salvage ship leased by his company had arrived off the coast of San Juan and was about to enter San Juan Bay.

A few minutes later, Wilson called again and told him that another deep-sea salvage ship leased by Raytheon Security had also arrived from Florida and was about to enter the port.

After receiving the news, they made an appointment to go to the port together later to see the situation of the two deep-sea salvage ships.

At nine o'clock, Ye Tian and the others left the guest room and prepared to leave for the port.

When they stepped out of the elevator to the hotel lobby and were about to leave the hotel, they were stopped by several guys.

Here are a few old friends, Clark, general manager of the Sheraton Hotel, Martinez, chief of police in San Juan, and Carlos of the Puerto Rican Commission for the Preservation of Historic Heritage.

The three of them all looked anxious, and their faces were very ugly, as if someone owed them three hundred hangings!

Martinez and Carlos, in particular, are even more aggressive, which is quite a bit of a sense of asking for guilt.

After greeting each other, Carlos immediately asked eagerly:

"Steven, now it is rumored all over the Caribbean coast that you have found a shipwreck treasure in the Caribbean, which contains great wealth, and it is rumored that there are noses and eyes!

I would like to ask, is this gossip true, and if so, can you tell us about the famous shipwreck and the exact location where the shipwreck treasure was found?

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just need to confirm whether this shipwreck treasure is within Puerto Rico's territorial waters, whether it is related to Puerto Rico?

If the wreck is in Puerto Rican territorial waters, then I must make it clear that anyone who wants to salvage a wreck in Puerto Rican territorial waters must report it to us and obtain the relevant permits!

In addition, the Puerto Rican government also has partial ownership of the treasure, which is our law and must be followed by anyone, including you treasure hunting companies from New York!"

After speaking, Carlos stared at Ye Tian's eyes, his expression was slightly nervous, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Obviously, this old guy wants the shipwreck treasure to be within Puerto Rico's territorial waters, so that he can make a lot of money and make a good show!

However, he was doomed to disappointment!

As soon as his words fell, Ye Tian replied with a smile:

"Carlos, your message is very sensitive and accurate, we have indeed found shipwreck treasure in the Caribbean, and this treasure is quite large, and it is sure to cause a sensation.

It's just that we didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and it's only been a day or two since we returned to San Juan, and you guys actually received the relevant news, which is really surprising to me!"

Because of the several luxury yachts that I encountered at sea before, a series of big moves by my own company and Raytheon Security, and the live broadcast of NBC TV that rushed to San Juan yesterday.

Ye Tian understood that the news about the discovery of the shipwreck treasure in the Caribbean Sea by his party could no longer be concealed, and there was no need to hide it!

In such an information society, this news is probably well known in the Caribbean coast, and even in the field of professional treasure hunting circles and antique art collections in the United States!

So when he heard Carlos's inquiry, Ye Tian also told him bluntly.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the famous shipwreck and the exact location of the shipwreck.

"Ah! This is true! Can you tell me the name of the wreck, and where it is, not within Puerto Rican territorial waters?"

Carlos asked excitedly, his eyes instantly brightening like two searchlights.

"The discovery of the shipwreck treasure is indeed real, but I can't tell you the name of the wreck, as well as the exact location information, it is a trade secret, and it is inconvenient to disclose!

I'm pretty sure that the wreck is definitely not in Puerto Rican territorial waters, and it's far away, so you don't have to worry about the wealth that belongs to Puerto Rico being plundered!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, pouring a basin of cold water on Carlos's head, completely extinguishing his hopes.

"Oh, not in Puerto Rican territorial waters!"

Carlos sighed in disappointment, his eyes quickly dimming.

As soon as the words fell, Martinez immediately continued:

"Steven, when are you leaving San Juan to salvage shipwreck treasure in the Caribbean?

From yesterday to today, there have been a lot of professional treasure hunters coming to San Juan, both from the United States and Canada, as well as from the countries bordering the Caribbean, who are obviously coming for you.

In addition to the many professional treasure hunters, there are also a lot of unknown guys, all of whom don't look like good people, and the purpose of these bastards coming to San Juan is definitely for you.

If you stay in San Juan any longer, something big will happen here, and we're just a small city here, not as good as Boston, not as good as New York, and we can't afford to toss it at all!

So, I want you to leave this city as soon as possible, as long as you leave, those who are coming at you will have no reason to stay here, and they will definitely leave with them!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, Martinez, don't worry too much! As you wish, we will soon leave San Juan, and we will not stay in this city for long, let alone destroy this beautiful city.

To tell you the truth, our deep-sea salvage ship has arrived in San Juan, and now we are going to the port to see the deep-sea salvage ship, and if nothing else, we will leave in two or three days at most!

Besides, those guys who came to San Juan were all looking for the treasure of the sunken ship, for money, and they shouldn't be confused and have a conflict with us, and that won't do any good!"

"That's the best! I hope these two days are safe, you don't get into trouble, and at the same time, we will keep a close watch on those who have bad intentions!"

Martinez let out a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Ye Tian and the others said goodbye and left, and went to the dock to check the deep-sea salvage ship.

The two deep-sea salvage vessels are all from the continental United States, one from Houston and the other from Miami.

What's more, the two deep-sea salvage vessels are highly professional, with all the equipment readily available, and there is almost no need to add any additional equipment.

Moreover, the deep-sea salvage ship from Florida belongs to an ocean exploration company, and the professionalism is not to mention, which is highly consistent with this salvage mission.

The maintenance of the two deep-sea salvage ships is very good, and there is no problem with the equipment, which can go to sea at any time to salvage the sunken ship!

It didn't take long for Ye Tian and the others to finish checking the two salvage boats, and everyone was very satisfied.

Next, Wilson led Ye Tian and them to see the situation of the supply ship.

This is a dual-use supply ship, the tonnage is not small, and the main task in peacetime is to deliver food, fresh water and other things to the many nearby islands, and occasionally some military supplies!

Recently, there happened to be not many delivery tasks, so he was rented by Wilson, which was not expensive, but it was very useful.

For this supply ship, Ye Tian was very satisfied.

With the existence of this ship, even if Jason and Mattis stay at sea for a month or two, they have nothing to do with each other, and there will definitely be no shortage of supplies.

After seeing the supply ship, everyone returned to the hotel and continued to be busy with other things.

Once all the boats are in place, all kinds of supplies start to come on board, such as food, wine, fresh water, entertainment equipment, various exploration equipment, and other things!

Of course, there are also a large number of weapons and ammunition, which are enough to fight a local war!

In the midst of all the busyness, it was the morning of the fifth day.

It's another sunny day, and it's a good day to go on the expedition!
