Chapter 107 Prestige 1 Moment 2

The weather and sea conditions have not hindered Tang Huan's treasure hunting team. It seems that God does not want these treasures to continue to be buried.

According to the cargo list of the Madame Atoka preserved in the museum, its gold and silver are recorded in tons, and gemstones are recorded in pounds, which can be said to be completely won by 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 it over, and found that it was the emerald that people in the country called. The colonists were really strong.

"Give it to me, Don, you said I'll share 20%." Christina begged cutely.

Tang Huan flung it teasingly, and the shiny emerald slid down the looming gully under the woman's neckline.

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 this vivid example of myself, the gold rush in Florida is about to rise again. Tang Huan's mouth twitched slightly when he thought of this.

For the 20% 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 said that Qian Bo's face is red, and the wine is touching, and the American people are also human, so they naturally turned their eyes over in unison.

Of course, the primary question that everyone is most concerned about is, how much is this discovered treasure worth?

Tang Huan replied conservatively, "What I found was only part of the wreckage of the entire ship, and the situation on the bottom of the sea is more complicated. It's hard to judge how many items can be salvaged, but based on the current results, it will probably be in the Around $200 million."

After receiving this official confirmation, the reporters not only exclaimed, but were asked a common but logical question, "Tang, how do you plan to spend such a large amount of wealth?"

Tang Huan smiled. Although he could use the excuse of personal privacy to deal with it,

But it lost the meaning of holding a press conference.

"Naturally, I have to satisfy my selfishness. I recently received an unexpected gift. Although I like it, it is really tricky. I just have this treasure. I plan to keep 20% of the income for myself to maintain it."

Tang Huan's scandal in the United States was naturally well known by the reporters, and someone immediately booed, "Tang, the unexpected gift you mentioned was the Boeing 747, right?"

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 20% of the treasure for yourself, so what about the rest? "

"It seems that everyone really cares about this wealth." Tang Huan stretched out his hand and counted with his fingers: "Actually, it is not as optimistic as everyone thinks, and there will definitely be a legal dispute with the state of Florida in the future. It is inevitable to share some of the benefits. The Fisher team spent more than ten years searching for the Lady Atoka, and I promise to give them 10% as a comfort and reward. In addition, my companions contributed to this treasure hunt It’s a lot, so naturally I have to be grateful, and I’ll take 20% of it. So, in this way, it’s not bad 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 the space between his eyebrows, "If it's big, it can do a lot of meaningful things. For example, build a museum for Folong Beach to commemorate this treasure hunt. Then For example, establish scholarships to help students with poor economic conditions get better educational opportunities. In addition, some medical institutions can also be funded to study 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 6, 1981 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, American biomedical scientist Robert Charles Gallo of the National Cancer Institute, and his subordinates also isolated new viruses from some cell lines and named them " 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. It turned out that the two 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 negotiated with French President Mitterrand and reached a consensus, allowing both of them and their team to have the same credit for the name, and the debate finally came to a conclusion.

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 that causes 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, windfall at a psychologically acceptable level, and the more important prestige.

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 asked some gossip about other aspects, 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 a 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, from the top to the bottom of the social class, the jealousy of Tang Huan being so lucky disappeared.

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

People have commented that the owner of Xiaobawang game console is so generous, a typical representative of a conscientious businessman, as for infringing on your patents, every technology of his 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 killed 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.
