    Qin Shiou had no choice but to explain awkwardly, saying that Billy was not kneeling, but a sitting posture that Americans were accustomed to.

    Father Qin nodded in realization, put down the barbecue and let them continue playing, and left quickly. He was also embarrassed.

    Billy was even more embarrassed, but it wasn't this matter that was embarrassing. He still didn't know why Qin's father was so nervous. What made him embarrassed was: "You actually tried your luck to find the sunken ship?! God, please forgive me! I  This partner has failed so much!¡±

    Little Blake was also speechless. He patted Qin Shiou on the shoulder and said, "We won't talk about this tonight. Let's drink. Starting tomorrow, please ask Master Billy for more advice on how to find sunken ships!"

    Later, when the four of them drank a box of beer, Little Blake began to regret what he had just said about ¡®not talking about work¡¯?  This is really a stupid statement. You should only talk about work, otherwise it would be crazy to listen to Billy talk about his relationship history!

    Billy grabbed a bottle of beer and held Little Blake with the other hand, saying sadly: "Man, a playboy like you can't understand how I feel. I love that cute girl!  Unlike you, when you see a woman and fall in love with one, you only love the feeling when you have sex with them"

    "Little Blake's face is full of sadness. How come I'm such a playboy?"  Yes, I've had sex with quite a few women, but how about you, Miami pervert Billy Do?  How dare you pretend to be innocent in front of yourself?

    Billy continued: "I chased the girl I loved and went to China, but she rejected me. She said she hoped to find an upright and positive young man to spend her life with, not a love prodigal! Oh, God, who  Did you tell this girl about my past? Qin, tell me, it wasn¡¯t you"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????

    Qin Shiou hurriedly swore: "God knows, Billy, my good buddy, I never told Huang Jiajia about your scandalous love scene! Absolutely not!"

    Billy pulled little Blake and sobbed sadly, then raised the bottle and shouted: "Drink it, guys, if you are a brother, just drink the wine in your hand!"

    Little Blake¡¯s expression changed a little. Billy¡¯s wine was only at the bottom of the bottle, and he had just opened a new bottle of wine in his hand.

    Billy came here tonight just because he was drunk, but he had to pull someone to support him before he died. He successfully made Little Black drunk, so Qin Shiou had to ask Nelson to drive them to a hotel in the town.

    After sobering up the next day, Billy returned to normal, but his eyes still had a bit of melancholy, which greatly increased his charm. He is a handsome blond young man with melancholy eyes. This is a character only found in comics, and the favorite of fujoshi.

    Billy came to find Qin Shiou and said: "Looking for sunken ships is not what you do. Man, you have to know that among the tens of thousands of sunken ships on the seabed, only a handful, less than one percent, have negotiable  Wealth, such as gold and jewelry, big items like this are not something you come across casually.¡±

    Qin Shiou agrees with this view. He has a golden finger like Poseidon Consciousness, but he has yet to find a valuable sunken ship.

    Billy continued: "Do you know how much time our Odyssey company spent preparing and searching before finding the first valuable sunken ship, the Socrates? A full 12 years!"

    Qin Shiou said: "You mean, I need to be more patient?"

    Billy looked at him strangely and said: "No, what I want to say later is the point. After finding the Socrates, we searched for the second sunken ship with treasures. Do you know how much time it took? There were only two  Year!"

    "Your mother is crazy, don't beat around the bush, just tell the truth!"

    Billy took out a small notebook, opened it carefully, and said: "In the first twelve years, our company not only searched for the Socrates, but also collected information through various means.  Got a lot of information about shipwrecks, you know, information!¡±

    Of course Qin Shiou understood what he meant. Most sunken ships have a general location. If you search around there, you can find the ship.

    He knows this, but the location information he can find is for ordinary shipwrecks. Shipwreck information became more transparent after World War II, and valuable shipwrecks were all before World War II. How can he find them?

    Billy sighed: "I gave you an electronic version of the shipwreck information record booklet."

    Qin Shiou said awkwardly: "Maybe I deleted it by mistake"

    It doesn¡¯t matter, the booklet in Billy¡¯s hand records little information about the shipwreck, but every??are more reliable.

    The two discussed the information about these sunken ships and determined a target: "The sunken ship of the USS Republic."

    The Republic is a famous shipwreck in modern American history. The accident occurred just after the American Civil War. At that time, the steamer was loaded with cargo and coins from New York, preparing to go to New Orleans to support the post-war reconstruction of New Orleans.

    Just two days after sailing out of New York, this 210-foot-long giant ship in the steam era was unfortunately targeted by the Barbary pirates, the U.S. Navy's sworn enemies at the time. The pirates dispatched two clippers to attack the Republic and robbed it.  All goods and coins.

    ¡°According to the reliable investigation of Orside Company, the property stolen from the Republic was more than 400,000 US dollars in gold and silver coins.

    Today, a century and a half later, the value of gold and silver coins has far exceeded the face value of the year. The market price of a single Eagle Gold Coin with a face value of US$10 ranges from US$3,000 to US$500,000!

    The grudges between the U.S. Navy and Barbary pirates have a long history, starting after the end of the American Revolutionary War. It can be said that it was these pirates that contributed to the birth of the U.S. Navy.

    In the early 19th century, the Barbary pirates once cornered the U.S. empire. Later, with great efforts, the U.S. Navy severely damaged these pirates in the two Barbary Wars in North Africa and successfully stationed troops in the Mediterranean.

    "It's a pity that the American Civil War broke out, the navy's strength declined, and the Barbary pirates resurfaced. It was under such circumstances that the Republic was captured.

    But at that time, although the U.S. Navy was weakened, its foundation was still there. When it was learned that the Republic had been snatched away, the angry Navy sent its elite to pursue it, and the two sides fought in what is now the high seas of the North Atlantic.

    The result of the battle was that the Barbary pirates were completely wiped out. Although the navy rescued the Republic, the gold and silver coins on the ship were moved to the pirate ship, and the pirate ship sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean thousands of meters deep.

    With the technology of the U.S. Navy at the time, it was naturally impossible to complete salvage at such a depth.

    There happened to be a hurricane at that time, and the navy ships had to return to the port. They left marking balloons on the battlefield. As a result, the balloons disappeared due to the hurricane. Later, the location of the battlefield became blurred. Later, the shipwreck treasure became known.  Let it go.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
