Golden Fishery

Qin Shiou decided to tell the story that the deep-sea coral reef has been stimulated by the energy of the sea god, and it has exceeded a thousand square meters. One hundred and eighty tons.

Hearing his words, Billy crushed the beer can and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "One ton? God, what are you kidding? Who would have a ton of deep-sea red coral? He discovered a new piece of coral on the bottom of the sea. Coral bushes?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said ambiguously: "Maybe, actually I'm just guessing casually, but my friend will definitely have one or two deep-sea corals of acceptable size, at least it can be used as a ring."

Billy looked at him suspiciously, and said, "The friend you mentioned isn't you, is it?"

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "You can think so, but it's not. He is an immigrant from our country, Treasure Island, who came to St. John's. We have a good relationship."

He did not choose a random place. The origin of red coral is relatively fixed. So far, most of them are produced in the Taiwan Strait, the Japan Strait, the Baltic Strait, and the Mediterranean Sea. Among them, the best quality aka coral is found in the Taiwan Strait. See.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Billy made a clear expression and said: "Then you'd better find out with your friend carefully, his hometown is rich in high-quality red coral, if you can find a complete coral tree now, Then we'll be rich."

The growth of red coral is extremely slow, because it generally lives in the deep sea, lacks nutrients, and the living environment is harsh. Since the 21st century, people have found very few red corals, and the coral trees found are even rarer, no more than half a meter high of.

Qin Shiou didn't know the current specific market of Red Coral. But I know that my piece of coral under the sea is absolutely priceless. I don’t know how long it has lived on the bottom of the sea. There are many coral trees over half a meter high!

After that, there was nothing to talk about, so Billy continued to give Qin Shiou popular knowledge about the red coral market.

The most precious red coral, aka, is often red. Among them, the concentration of red is different, such as orange red, vermilion, positive red, deep red, and black red. Now the mainstream market roughly divides it into these five color grades. The deeper the color, the more expensive it is.

"Of course, aka coral also has pink, peach or orange-pink colors. But I don't often encounter them. Unless I meet something I like, it's not as valuable as red coral." Billy said after taking a sip of his wine.

Qin Shiou's sea god consciousness was still swimming among the corals on the bottom of the sea. There were also pink and light peach colors in this coral, and it was located at the edge. It seems that when they grow up, they will be red.

He raised this question and said, "What is the reason that affects the color of aka coral? What's the matter with these colors?"

Billy shook his head,

Said: "There are too many puzzles on red corals. Some people think that the color is the accumulation of time, but they grow too slowly, too slowly, and they will not grow much in thousands of years, so it is not easy to study."

"No relevant guesses?" Qin Shiou asked suspiciously.

Billy said: "Yes. There are two mainstreams, one is the accumulation of age, as the coral grows and matures, the color gradually becomes darker; the other is also related to time, but it is believed that the color of the coral is after absorbing iron ions from seawater It became like this, this guess comes from the purification of seawater by coral polyps."

"In addition to aka, there are other ones that are of relatively high value. Ordinary materials can reach about 1,000 Canadian dollars per gram."

Mao Weilong shook his head and said: "This thing is really a plaything of the rich. It costs thousands of Canadian dollars per gram. If you buy a red coral bracelet or something like that, how much will it cost?"

Qin Shiou suddenly remembered the string of red coral beads that had been auctioned, and said, "I said. I remember that our string of beads was auctioned for 2.25 million yuan, didn't it? It still has a cultural relic status bonus, but I think its own weight also has a certain weight. kg?"

Billy waved his hands and said: "No, no, the weight is only 652 grams, and you must know that the quality of the beads is not good. The material is originally the lowest-grade sardine coral, and it has been soaked in seawater for many years. If it is only used as red coral If you sell it, the price will not be much higher."

Later, Billy introduced red coral. The most common materials of this kind of coral are light-colored materials, such as white, light pink, pink, orange pink, peach pink, etc. rare.

Qin Shiou's heart moved. He felt that the piece of coral on the bottom of the sea might be aka coral, because the lightest color in it was also the red at the edge, and the overall color was mainly bright red, with occasional deep red and light black red.

After dinner, Qin Shiou sent the two of them back to their respective rooms, and then he went for a stroll by the seaside habitually. At this time, the sea python was already approaching the shore. on the pier.

This giant python is 14 to 15 meters long, and its head is the size of a bucket. Snakes can't make any expressions, but only have a cold and gloomy temperament, so when this guy emerges from the water, it is really scary.

Qin Shiou has been in contact with giant pythons for a long time, and now he is a little afraid of ordinary snakes, and has no feeling for giant pythons.

He went up and patted the giant python's head, Qin Shiou let it go back to the deep sea, put away the piece of red coral and went back to sleep.

After exercising in the morning, Qin Shi'ou ate some hastily, and asked Bird to launch a helicopter to take him to St. John's. Naturally, he pretended to go to a friend to get red coral. In fact, he wandered around the city to investigate I booked the hotel.

He originally wanted to choose a hotel to book a room, but later found that it was not suitable, and there were not enough rooms of the same class, so he simply came to a ruthless one, and booked all four-star and five-star hotels in St. Johns to arrive on June 1st. The Presidential Suite on the 4th!

June has entered the peak tourist season, and hotel rooms are very expensive. Take the Hilton hotel under the Hilton hotel chain as an example, the price per night is 4,000 to 5,000 Canadian dollars, but Mr. Qin is not short of money, so book it!

Originally, the hotel did not accept that all the presidential suites were booked by the same person. Qin Shiou still showed the black gold centurion card to be useful. This is the power of privilege. American Express Group has the most abundant resources in the service industry. Since it can enjoy such The power, why doesn't Qin Shiou use it?

Moreover, there is a discount for using the Centurion Card. Qin Shiou only paid less than half of the price in the end. These hotels have different discounts, ranging from 40% off to 40% off, but it will not be higher.

Back at the fishing ground, Qin Shiou handed the red coral to Billy.

The morning sun was shining brightly. The moment Qin Shiou took out the red coral, the sun shone on it, emitting a soft but dazzling luster. If the coral was lifted up, it would emit a faint red light... (to be continued)
