Island Fishery

Chapter 13: Selling Pearls, Earning 22.5 Million

Thunder was rolling outside the window, electric snakes were swimming in the dark clouds, and the wind and rain ravaged the land crazily.

"The wind is really strong, and even the green trees as thick as a bowl of sea have been blown off, tsk tsk~" Zhao Bin, the vice president of the sales department, stood by the window, enjoying the rain leisurely while drinking the fragrant coffee.

After drinking a cup of coffee, he turned around and sat behind the big desk, took out a soft cloth from the drawer, and began to carefully wipe the huge Maitreya Buddha with a height of 60 cm. The Maitreya Buddha made of white jade is very shiny and lifelike. A huge Maitreya Buddha.

buzz~

Suddenly, the landline on the corner of the table rang.

"Hello?"

"Li Shu came to the door of the company, want to see me? See you, waste my time." Hearing the call from the front desk, half-bald Zhao Bin frowned instantly.

"What!? 19mm top-quality pearls!! "But what the front desk said next surprised him, and his attitude changed instantly, and he said in succession: "Please hurry up!"

19mm top-quality pearls are extremely rare, so he has to pay attention to them.

After tidying up his clothes, half-bald Zhao Bin went to the elevator entrance to meet Li Shu like a rolling ball. Following the jumping red number above the elevator stopped at "5", the elevator door opened with a ding~.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm here to disturb you again." Li Shu, who was carrying a gray backpack, looked ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely, it seems extraordinary, especially the faint confidence Well, it seemed like there was nothing he couldn't do.

"Chirp Chirp~" The thrush opened the zipper with its sharp beak, jumped out of the backpack and flew to Li Shu's right shoulder. Its crooked little head looked curiously at Zhao Bin's big belly, as if thinking—how many bugs would it eat? , to grow so fat ah?

"It's not slow, it's slow, please hurry up."

The two came to Zhao Bin's office, and soon an employee brought fragrant tea. After chatting for a while, Li Shu took out a small wooden box from his backpack.

Under Zhao Bin's expectant eyes, the wooden box was opened instantly, and round white pearls came into Zhao Bin's eyes.

"This, this... so many 19mm pearls?" Zhao Bin shrank his pupils and exclaimed. He is also a veteran in the pearl industry for decades. Whether a pearl is 18mm or 19mm in diameter can be distinguished at a glance. come out.

He immediately called two white-haired appraisers, and the three of them held a magnifying glass and calipers to appraise together, very carefully.

Li Shu leaned back on the back of the chair, drinking tea slowly while carefully paying attention to the expressions of Zhao Bin and the two appraisers.

He saw "shocked", "unbelievable", "excited" and other emotions from the expressions of the two appraisers, and sighed in his heart: "My previous price was 350,000 ringgits, after all, the price that Su Zhizhe took before One is also around 19mm, and he bought it for RM300,000.

But judging by the appraiser's expression, the price in my heart should be raised~"

Chirp~

The thrush was not afraid of strangers at all. It circled a few times in the small office, and then landed directly on the top of Maitreya Buddha's head, which is 60 centimeters tall, and then trimmed its feathers with its sharp beak.

After some appraisal, the two appraisers approached Zhao Bin's ear with the voice of a mosquito, whispering.

Their voices were extremely weak, and ordinary people would never be able to hear them clearly, but after taking chalcedony spirit water many times, Li Shu's physical fitness has improved in all aspects, and he could clearly hear the three of them muttering.

"450,000 pieces."

"Yes, a pearl of this quality is worth 450,000."

"However, 450,000 yuan can be set as the reserve price. You can bid 300,000 yuan first. The quality of this pearl is really good, and the soft light is very characteristic. I'm afraid we can use this as a selling point."

When the three of Zhao Bin talked, they did not use Chinese Mandarin or Cantonese, but "colloquial Malaysian Chinese".

The significant difference from Mandarin is that "colloquial Malaysian Chinese" is mixed with many English vocabulary, Malay vocabulary, Cantonese, and Hokkien pronunciation.

For example, "Pearl", they say "Poerlou", the Malaysian pronunciation of the English word Pearl.

"Cough~" Zhao Bin switched to Mandarin proficiently, waved his hand to let the two appraisers leave, bang~ as the door closed, there were only two people and one bird left in the small office.

The thrush squatted on the jade Maitreya Buddha's forehead and fell asleep, humming from time to time, as if dreaming.

"Mr. Li, the source of these pearls..."

"This was collected by my dad in the early years, and I took some of it out to exchange for some pocket money to spend." Li Shu said carelessly: "Mr. Zhao, don't even think about picking up leaks from me. I have asked other pearls to be appraised before I came here. The teacher has seen it, and the quality of my pearls is much higher than ordinary pearls."

"Oh? Hiss...then how much do you want, Mr. Li?" The half-bald Zhao Bin suddenly became nervous. In reason.

"RM500,000 for one piece! A total of 50 pieces, or 25 million ringgit!"

"Ahem~ Mr. Li's price is too high..." Zhao Bin almost fell off his chair.

After some haggling, the final price was set at 450,000 pieces, which was Zhao Bin's bottom line.

Li Shu didn't sell all the pearls to Tianzhu Nak Group. He was worried that he had just bought 100 clams from here not long ago, and if he took out 100 pearls now, it might attract someone's attention.

Don't underestimate other people's associative ability. In order to ensure his own safety as much as possible, Li Shu wants to kill all dangers in the cradle.

buzz~

Li Shu opened the text message on his mobile phone, and saw a receipt reminder: "Congratulations, respected customer, your bank card with the end number 1122 received 22.5 million ringgit at 5:23 p.m. on June 21, 2017..."

Seeing the 22.5 million money in the account, Li Shu was filled with great joy for a moment, he stood up and said: "Okay, when I run out of money, maybe I will sell some pearls to your company, that's it for today .”

The half-bald Zhao Bin also stood up, but his eyes flashed with envy and hatred. He is also considered a successful person, but he has worked hard for half his life and has not saved 20 million ringgits.

"Mr. Li, I'll send you off. Whenever you want to sell pearls, just ask me. I'll be waiting for you anytime."

"No need to send it, I can go by myself."

"No no no, I still have to send it."

At the exit of the building on the first floor, woo woo woo~ The black taxi drove into the boundless rain curtain, and the lights of the car gradually disappeared into the corner like two beams of light.

"Hiss~" Standing behind the glass door, Zhao Bin took a deep puff of his cigarette and muttered, "I'm really envious of this person. Compared with these handsome rich second generations, it's too difficult for me to earn money."

Boom~

The taxi was driving on the road, and occasionally crossed a small pothole half a meter deep in water. The car was slightly bumpy. Looking out at the heavy rain through the window, Li Shu stroked the little head of the thrush in his arms and said: " Go to Binsk Club."

"Okay, boss." The temporarily hired taxi driver continued.
