Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 107

The weather and sea conditions did not hinder Tang Huan's treasure hunting team. It seemed that God did not want these treasures to continue to be buried.

According to the cargo list of the Lady Atoka preserved in the museum, the gold and silver are recorded in tons, and the precious stones are recorded in pounds. It can be said that it is completely based on quantity.

With the increase of item records, more and more treasures were salvaged, and this statement was gradually confirmed.

For those gold and silver coins, gold bricks and silver pieces, and various gold and silver handicrafts, Christina just admired them in the same way after seeing them. After the gemstone was placed on the table, she was no longer so calm, and a fiery light shot out from her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan secretly laughed in his heart, the female ship queen is also unavoidable.

He picked up a gem and looked at it, and found that it was what the Chinese call emerald. This thing was extremely valuable. According to the cargo manifest, there were 80 pounds of emeralds on the Lady Atoka. At that time The colonists were really strong.

"Give it to me, Don, you said I'll share [-]%." Christina begged cutely.

Tang Huan flung it teasingly, and the shiny emerald slid down the neckline of the opponent.

Christina let out a cry, and stretched out her hand to hit Tang Huan with a playful smile.

It is impossible for Tang Huan to stare here all the time, not to mention that gold, silver and jewelry cannot be eaten directly as delicacies, and he will get tired of watching too much. He returned to the voyage with Christina on the fourth day, and the rest of the work will naturally be taken care of by the ship queen's cronies .

Before reaching the shore, Tang Huan could see the sea of ​​people on the beach, and they should all come to watch the excitement upon hearing the news.

It seems that with his vivid example out there, the gold rush fever in Florida is about to rise again. Thinking of this, Tang Huan's lips curled up slightly.

For the [-]% net profit, the resources of the Onassis family had been mobilized long ago, and Tang Huan didn't need to worry about all kinds of trivial matters, but the reporters' chasing and intercepting still made people feel overwhelmed.

After resting and gathering all the information, Tang Huan found that blindly covering up would do more harm than good, so he announced that a press conference would be held the next day to satisfy people's gossip psychology.

Media reporters from major newspapers and TV stations rushed to hear the news overnight, and the small place of Folong Beach became famous in the United States for a while.

No wonder people are so popular. After the Iranian hostage crisis broke out last year, the form of TV station daily news follow-up reports appeared. Tang Huan’s lucky treasure hunting experience became the focus of such programs. When it came to the on-site information, the real money was clearly and unmistakably presented on the TV anyway, and its impact was too strong.

Youdao is that money and silk make people's faces red, and wine and sex are attractive. The American people are also human beings, so they naturally turned their attention to him.

Of course, the primary question that everyone is most concerned about is, how much is this discovered treasure worth?
Tang Huan answered more conservatively, "What I found was only part of the wreckage of the entire ship, and the situation on the seabed is relatively complicated. It's hard to judge how many items can be salvaged, but based on the current results, it will probably be in About $[-] million.”

After receiving this official confirmation, the reporters not only exclaimed in surprise, but also asked a vulgar but logical question, "Tang, how do you plan to spend such a huge fortune?"

Tang Huan smiled. Although he could use the excuse of personal privacy to respond, he lost the meaning of holding a press conference.

"Of course I have to satisfy my selfishness. I recently received an unexpected gift. Although I like it, it's really tricky. I just have this treasure, and I plan to keep [-]% of the proceeds for myself to maintain it."

Of course, reporters had already known about Tang Huan's scandal in the United States. Someone immediately shouted, "Tang, is the unexpected gift you are talking about the Boeing 747?"

In the eyes of Americans, a tall and perfect image often means that it is not true, but Tang Huan's worldliness makes everyone feel very friendly, and many people also laugh.

Tang Huan didn't answer this question, but just waved his hand, signaling to continue asking questions, but someone was calm and pointed it out directly, "Tang, you only said that you will leave [-]% of the treasure for yourself, so what about the rest? "

"It seems that everyone is really concerned about this wealth." Tang Huan stretched out his hand and counted on his fingers: "Actually, it is not as optimistic as everyone thought. There will definitely be a legal dispute with the state of Florida next. It is inevitable to share some of the profits. The Fisher team has spent more than ten years looking for the Lady Atoka, and I promised to give them [-]% as comfort and reward. In addition, my companions contributed to this treasure hunt. It’s a lot, so of course I have to thank you, and I’ll take away [-]% of it. So, after calculating this, it’s good to have one-third of the treasure left in the end.”

"Then how do you plan to spend the third?" the reporters asked incessantly.

"It mainly depends on the absolute value." Tang Huan rubbed his eyebrows, "If it is big, then we can do a lot of meaningful things. For example, build a museum for Fulontan to commemorate this treasure hunt. Again. For example, scholarships can be established to help students with poor economic conditions get better educational opportunities. In addition, some medical institutions can also be funded to research ways to deal with diseases."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan thought for a while, "I heard that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and some scientists have discovered a terrible human immune system deficiency disease. Although it is not yet conclusive, it is very dangerous. If possible , and I am willing to take out funds from it to fund this research."

The disease Tang Huan mentioned is the AIDS that people are talking about. On June 1981, 6 in the original time and space, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified the world's first case. Naturally, this result cannot be jumped all at once. It has already been noticed by people of insight before it came out.

For a long time, AIDS has made human beings helpless, and was even neglected and dealt with poorly at the beginning.

In 1983, French virologist Luc Montagnier and his research team isolated a new virus for the first time, which they named "immunodeficiency-associated virus" or IDA_V.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Montagnier's collaborator at the time, the American biomedical scientist Robert Charles Gallo of the National Cancer Institute, and his staff also isolated a new virus from some cell lines and named it " Human T-cell leukemia virus type IIIB/H9” is HTLV-IIIB/H9.

Subsequently, Gallo went to France and provided HTLV-IIIB/H9 for comparison with Montagnier's IDA_V. The results showed that the two strains of viruses were exactly the same.

Originally, the two parties agreed to jointly hold a press conference, but the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Margaret Heckler, who already knew about it, urgently called Gallo back home, held a press conference unilaterally, and instructed Gallo to develop it as soon as possible. A technology to detect human immunodeficiency virus in blood and apply for a patent so that American pharmaceutical companies can sell this technology globally.

In this way, both Gallo and Montagnier claimed to be the first to discover the virus, and each named it.As a result, there have been disputes and lawsuits between France and the United States and scientists from both sides for several years, and there has been no solution.

In the end, Reagan and French President Mitterrand negotiated and reached a consensus, allowing both people and their team to have equal credit for the name, and the dispute finally came to an end.

It has to be said that this incident of ignoring the scientific naming basis is quite rare, and it is also the first time that biological debates have risen to the political level.

In 1986, the name of the virus that causes AIDS was unified as "human immunodeficiency virus" or HIV to more clearly reflect the nature of the virus to cause immune deficiency rather than cancer.

To be honest, Tang Huan felt from the bottom of his heart that the treasure of the Lady Atoka was stained with the blood of the colonists, and holding it all in his hands really felt that it was against the harmony of heaven, and its value was really enviable , why don't you spread out to do some charity, such as HIV research, and its public welfare effects are not limited to the United States, so everyone likes it.

In this process, he also got what he wanted, a windfall that was psychologically acceptable to people, and more importantly, reputation.

In fact, when journalists formulate the questions they ask in advance, it is inevitable that they will not set the answers they want in their hearts. This also corresponds to the sentence that people always want to see news about the results they want.

Tang Huan's answer really satisfied most of the people present, so he no longer pursued this question, but instead inquired about other gossip, for example, did you come to Florida directly for the purpose of treasure hunting?

Regarding this, Tang Huan would of course say hypocritically that it was mainly for vacation, and the treasure hunt was just a convenient condiment. He did not expect that the goddess of luck would come like this.

When a reporter inquired about the progress of his relationship with Christina, Tang Huan responded vaguely and ended the press conference.

Satisfied reporters hurriedly sorted out the material and sent the report back to the agency as quickly as possible.

The "Washington Post" and "New York Times" on the east coast, the "Los Angeles Times" and "San Francisco Chronicle" on the west coast... All major newspapers have reserved places for Tang Huan on their pages, while the National Broadcasting Corporation , CBS, and ABC also aired segments of the press conference on television.

Tang Huan, who entertained the people, was in the limelight, and his reputation was unparalleled for a while. The general public praised his generosity. Down.

As a result, the jealousy of Tang Huan's luck among the social classes from top to bottom disappeared.

At the same time, the lawsuit in Silicon Valley was settled, and Milohua returned home in disgrace, but no one sympathized with it.

People have commented that the boss of Xiaobawang Game Console is so generous and a typical representative of conscientious businessmen. As for infringing on your patent, every technology he uses is obviously original.

As a result, the sales of products under Tang Huan's name soared, and mass consumer goods such as game consoles even created a loyal fan base.

However, these are just appearances. Mi Luohua was destroyed by various forces. For latecomers, the game console market has no obstacles at all.

Due to the weak performance of the American film market in the same period, investors who are interested in the entertainment industry rushed into this emerging field with red eyes.
