Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Because the two most valuable points about this shipwreck have now been dug out, Liang En can then let the entire salvage team run on their own to continue the salvage work.

If his memory serves him right, in another world the Fisher family's salvage operation lasted nearly forty years after the discovery.

Liang En himself naturally does not have that much energy to spend on this, so it is inevitable to find someone to take charge of this aspect, and the reason why this salvage company was established is also related to this plan.

After all, for Liang En, if he was only doing short-term salvage work, he could apply for a license and then rent a boat for salvage, which would be enough, but long-term operations would naturally require the establishment of a salvage company.

It was also because of this company that Liang En fell into thinking when Elizabeth Bathory suggested putting the museum in Florida just now.

Because in his opinion, if the museum is set up in Florida, then the fleet or even the entire salvage company can naturally be included as part of the museum, which can save a lot of money and energy.

Naturally, if the museum is located in New York, it will not be able to enjoy these benefits, not to mention that locating the museum locally can gain local favor and is more convenient during the salvage process.

Since the final decision on these two options will have to wait for at least a month, Liang En still has enough time to consider this aspect without making an immediate choice.

After signing a series of documents with American personnel, Liang En's salvage work could come to an end. However, he did not go home directly, but chose to stay here for a few days.

As the southernmost city in the continental United States, Key West is only a small city, but it can also be regarded as a very famous tourist city. The overall area is only 19.2 square kilometers, but there is an endless stream of tourists every year.

People from all over the world come here to witness the strategic location of the United States, which is only 90 miles away from Cuba, to see Hemingway's former home, visit Truman's Little White House, and appreciate the style of the streets.

Although this place is small, it has many attractions. In addition to Hemingway's former residence and the Little White House where Truman convalesced, the ancient aquarium, ghost tombstones and shipwreck treasure museum are all places worth visiting.

Liang En focused on the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, which commemorates the shipwrecks discovered around it and collects and protects the historical items that were discovered.

In the golden age of navigation, about 100 ships passed Key West every day. The water route they took was one of the most dangerous places in the world, so on average about one ship sank on the atolls of Key West every day.

More than 400 years have passed, and it is impossible to count how many ships have sunk here, and some of the salvaged items found are now placed in this museum.

The entire museum was filled to the brim with various cultural relics. However, after taking a closer look, Liang En found that the overall value of the displayed cultural relics was not high. They were just daily necessities or models from ships.

Also because the things in the museum were not very attractive, Liang En found that tourists did not stay here for a long time, and their consumption at the store's canteen was not high.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the cultural relics in this museum are of average quality and quantity and don't cost much to maintain, this museum would definitely be losing money every year.

However, the current situation of the museum is not much better. When the profit is at its highest, it is only two to three thousand US dollars a month, and when it is at its lowest, it not only makes no money but also loses money.

For Florida, this museum that can only bring in less than $10,000 in net income per year but has a lot of things is obviously not suitable for long-term ownership.

Therefore, according to the conditions given by Florida, if Liang En is willing to ensure that the museum can be opened normally as it is now, then the museum will be sold to Liang En at cost price.

According to Liang En's analysis, the overall situation of the museum is actually good. At least the number of tourists should be considered more than less when compared with the size of the museum.

But the problem now is that the exhibits in this museum are really unattractive, so that the relatively small flow of people has not been converted into economic benefits.

In other words, if Liang En takes over the museum in the future and combines it with the precious items salvaged this time, he should be able to convert the current flow of people into income.

After all, this place is very good in terms of reputation and location. The only problem is that although the exhibits inside are valuable from a historical and archaeological perspective, they are really unfriendly to ordinary audiences.

For example, some of the bottles and jars and some ship parts on display here are unremarkable. Liang En would be able to tell something about the era of these cultural relics, but to ordinary people, these things look more like Rubbish.

And what Liang En and the others salvaged this time can just make up for this biggest flaw. Even people who don't know much about history can still appreciate the gold, gems and jewelry.

In addition to admiring these scenery, Liang En and the others also tasted a lot of Caribbean-style food. As the closest place to Cuba in the United States, there are a large number of Cuban immigrants here, and the natural food flavor also has a Caribbean style.

At the same time, because this area is an island, a variety of ingredients with seafood as the main ingredient are available and cheap. Although Ireland, where Liang En lived before, is also an island, the biodiversity there is far less than here.

After all, Ireland's latitude is relatively high, and the lower temperature makes the species there more diverse. Therefore, except for the common seafood such as cod, halibut or certain shellfish, the rest can only be imported.

But the problem is that it is a well-known fact that seafood is a standard thing that needs to be eaten fresh. If it is transported by long-distance air transport, the taste is far better than that of something that is not freshly caught.

At least Liang En feels that the local freshly caught and cooked cheese-baked lobster does taste better than the ones sold in high-end restaurants in Ireland, and the price is also cheaper.

"When are we going back?" That day, while sitting on a beach chair to bask in the sun, Joan of Arc, wearing a very conservative swimsuit and lying on the beach chair, asked after taking a sip of coconut juice.

"I think two or three weeks would be better. After all, Ireland is wet and cold compared to here." Liang En stretched and said. "What's more important is that there is no one when I go back now. My parents went to Marseille for vacation, and they have to wait for a while before the weather gets warm before returning to Ireland."

"And staying here now will not hinder my future work. Anyway, for me, whether it is writing a paper or a novel, it will be the same anywhere as long as there is a computer and the Internet."

For Liang En, his current core character is a scholar, so various papers are absolutely indispensable. Taking advantage of the opportunity of vacation here, he can just write a few useful papers about this salvage. Continue to build reputation.
