Island Fishery

Chapter 9 Live Auction of Pearls

More than a dozen people walked into a small room. The cement floor was cracked, and the surrounding light blue walls had begun to peel due to humidity, making it ugly. The air seemed to be filled with a damp musty smell.

There are four decayed wooden tables in the small room, each table has a 10 cm long carving knife, dirty blue leather gloves, and a red one is placed on one of the wooden tables. There are fly-killing stickers, densely packed with flies, some of which are not completely dead, struggling uselessly.

"Hey~ I'm going to fuck~" Su Zhizhe, who was like a prince, frowned, even fanning the wind on both sides of his nose with his palm, his girlfriend "Yao Li" was also very dissatisfied, and took out a high-end perfume from a delicate leather bag , 呲呵~ spray it up.

"I said, Lao Zhao, your environment is too bad!?"

"That's right, it doesn't cost much to buy a few broken tables and replace them."

"Tsk tsk, there are too many stinky flies here, worse than the worker's dormitory in my company." A dozen or so rich or expensive guests were talking, and the half-bald Zhao Bin just laughed along, repeating in his mouth: "Turn around Change, change later~"

The half-bald Zhao Bin waved his hand, and an old grey-haired worker walked in carrying a heavy plastic net frame. Bang~ He put the plastic net frame containing a large number of white butterfly mussels on the corner of the table, and the old table creaked. , seems to fall apart at any moment.

The old worker's face was like bark, and he didn't look at anyone at the scene. Instead, he glanced vaguely at the camera in the southeast corner while wearing plastic gloves.

Li Shu looked at the room among the crowd, and found that the ones that were incompatible with the style of the room were those very high-end cameras.

In this small room, there are 8 cameras on the bright side, and there are no dead spots for shooting. This should be to prevent workers from stealing pearls.

"Those who are full of silk are not silkworm farmers." Li Shu sighed in his heart: "No matter how expensive pearls are, it has nothing to do with these workers, and their income will not be too high."

The old worker sat on the stool after putting on his gloves, holding a knife in his right hand and a clam in his left hand, brushing the knife blade accurately into the clam shell with a light stroke, the clam shell was opened in an instant, squeezed from the clam meat skillfully, and A round white pearl was squeezed out.

"I'll go, this pearl is not bad!"

"The color and roundness are good, and they are quite big. Please measure the size."

"Don't worry, I'll come." The half-bald Zhao Bin squeezed into the crowd with a smile, took the pearl carefully with his white gloved palm, and praised: "It's really ingenious, ingenious... ..."

Li Shu's attention is very sharp. He noticed that when most of the people's attention was focused on the mined pearl, and listening to the half-bald Zhao Bin's praise, the corner of the mouth of the old worker who opened the white butterfly shell But he showed a disdainful smile, as if to say: "I have seen a lot of pearls of this kind, so I'm bluffing, I haven't seen the world."

"Interesting and interesting." Li Shu was happy.

"White pearls have a diameter of 19.1mm, very slight blemishes, and high-grade color... It can be rated as the best pearl. The 19mm pearl of the best grade is a very good choice whether it is used as a necklace or a pendant. The price is about 25." million ringgit.

Let's do this, let's shoot it now, all the bosses bid freely, and the highest bidder wins. "Half-bald Zhao Bin said with a smile.

"150000!"

"180,000!"

…………

"300000!"

After some random bids, the green-haired Su Zhizhe finally won it at a cost of 300,000 ringgits. He handed the pearl to his girlfriend casually. arrogant.

He looked around, and when his eyes shifted to Li Shu standing on his right side, he was momentarily taken aback: "Your bird needle doesn't poke~"

"Jiujiu~"

The cute thrush stood on Li Shu's shoulder and hopped twice, stretched its neck and looked towards the center of the crowd. It wanted to jump on top of Li Shu's head to look, after all, it would stand higher, but it was afraid that Li Shu would beat it .

Li Shu's face was full of black lines: "Your hair is quite handsome."

"Thank you, I think so too." Su Zhizhe stroked his green hair with a hint of complacency on his expression. He habitually rubbed the top-grade imperial green ring finger on his right finger with his left hand, and said with a smile: "I raise I bought a cute parrot, and I also like to stand on my shoulder~ But that guy often pulls my hair, it really makes me love and hate."

"This is my business card. Since everyone likes to raise birds, let's make friends." Su Zhizhe took out a black jade-like business card, and after Li Shu took it, he found that the business card was in Mandarin, English, and Malay. The information is recorded in language, and on the front it reads——Su Zhizhe, chairman of Su Consulting Co., Ltd. On the back is the phone number.

Li Shu was slightly embarrassed: "Sorry, I don't have a business card, but let's add each other's mobile numbers. My dad is the owner of Neverland."

He felt that he could talk about his father's name, but Su Zhizhe was stunned for a moment: "That's the cursed Neverland? Hiss~ Niubi~ I remember that the lease of that island is less than a year away, right?" , hehe~ If you want to renew the lease, you can find me, the price is definitely cheap."

Li Shu was slightly taken aback, he wanted to continue asking about the situation of Neverland, but Su Zhizhe seemed unwilling to say more, so he had no choice but to give up.

The white butterfly mussels are still being opened one by one, and the diameter of the pearls is mostly 15~18mm. Even if there is a 19mm diameter occasionally, the quality is not up to the best.

Listening to other people's conversations, Li Shu found that the grades of pearls are mainly divided into "inferior", "medium", "high-grade", "extreme", and "super-extreme".

But the most important thing is the diameter of the pearl. A pearl with a diameter of 10mm, even if it is the best grade, is almost impossible to exceed the price of a pearl with a diameter of 15mm and inferior quality.

After opening the pearl oysters, everyone returned to the office building. The half-bald Zhao Bin began to receive Li Shu and others alone. Of course, if he just came to visit, he would not be received alone.

squeak~

The half-bald Zhao Bin took Li Shu to his small office. On the deep red solid wood table was a huge white jade Maitreya Buddha with a height of 60 cm, which was very eye-catching.

"It's just small decorations, bought for fun." The half-bald Zhao Bin politely invited Li Shu to sit down, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li wants to buy loose beads or pearl powder?"

"No, I want to buy the white butterfly clam with embedded pearl cores." Li Shu said slowly: "Actually... I also have a batch of white pearls in my hand. The quality is very good. I don't know about your group..."

"Oh? Although our group breeds pearl oysters by itself, we also buy pearls from the society." Half-bald Zhao Bin's eyes lit up: "The more top-quality pearls, the better. Please rest assured, Mr. Li. In the Malaysian pearl industry, our Tianzhu Naco Group is one of the strongest companies, as long as the pearls are good, the price is not a problem.”

"Okay, then I'll bring it with me next time I come." Li Shu said lightly, he naturally doesn't have pearls now, but he believes that he can grow a batch of pearls.
