My Deep-sea Fishery

This is the same as selling rough jadeite.

If the owner of a piece of rough jade wants to sell jade, he will take the piece of rough jade to a buyer and tell the buyer how much he wants to sell.

For example, Xiang Yang brought a piece of rough jadeite to Zhang Qicheng and asked Zhang Qicheng for two million. If Zhang Qicheng felt that the price was too high, then Xiang Yang would have to cut it himself and reduce the price to, say, one and a half million. If it is too expensive, then the price of Xiangyang must be lowered again.

Of course, usually at most it would cut the price twice, and there would be no third price cut. If Xiang Yang lowered the price twice and Zhang Qicheng was still not satisfied, then Xiang Yang would look for the next buyer.

Xiang Yang frowned, he was really not familiar with the approximate price of this black pearl.

"It's better for you to give me a price, or I really can't make an offer, so I can only find another buyer by myself." Xiang Yang said.

"Okay, then I'll make a price." Song Chaoshu said, "What do you think of 100,000?"

"It's impossible." Xiang Yang shook his head directly and said, "Boss Song, I'm sincerely doing business with you. It would be meaningless if you said that."

In ancient mythology, Tahitian black pearls were a gift from the Creator, the god of harmony and beauty.

Natural black pearls are very rare even in Tahiti. There is only one black pearl in about 10,000 oysters, and only one black pearl in a hundred black pearls is a round and plump black pearl.

Weijia Yunying Jewelry Company in Suzhou sells black pearl earrings all year round, and the price of a pair of Tahitian black pearls measuring about 8mm is as high as 99,999 yuan.

The pearls of Tahiti are actually cultivated pearls, and the price is quite different from that of pure natural pearls.

"That's about the price." Song Chaoshu said with a wry smile, "The price of a 10mm black pearl from Tahiti is only 20,000 to 30,000, and yours is only about 10mm in diameter, so 100,000 is already very high."

"Tahiti's pearls are cultured pearls, which are natural pearls." Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "There is no comparison between the two."

"In fact, they are all natural pearls. The pearls on the market, whether they are Tahitian black pearls, South Sea gold pearls, Australian white pearls, akoya pearls or freshwater pearls, are all cultured. Artificially cultured pearls are natural pearls, not artificially cultured. Called wild pearls, wild pearls are difficult to grow round and lovely, and the shape is often difficult to describe." Song Dynasty Shu said.

The Song Dynasty Book explained why cultured and wild pearls are called natural pearls.

The two are like natural conception and test-tube baby. The former is to let nature take its course, while the latter requires artificial surgical intervention, but as long as the baby is born from the clam shell after successful conception, it is a natural pearl baby.

The process of cultivating pearls is very interesting. First, the small mussel shells are placed in the sea to hang them on piles and wait for them to grow up.

After raising the clam shells for two to three years, select healthy clam shells to clean up and prepare for surgery.

The operation time of pearl oyster is every spring, not because this season is suitable for the mating of pearl oyster, but because spring is conducive to the recovery of the body after the operation of pearl oyster, and the operation process of pearl oyster is very delicate.

The sterilized pearl oyster is lying on the operating table, and the surgeon will open its shell and implant the pearl nucleus.

Generally, seawater pearls need to be implanted with bead nuclei, and freshwater pearl cultivation does not require pearl oysters that have been off the operating table to have a very high mortality rate during the process of returning to the sea to rest.

At this time, farmers need to perform postoperative maintenance for the pearl mussels, including regular medical examinations, pest control, disinfection, and so on.

If any pearl oyster is found to be sick, it must be isolated immediately, otherwise it will be transmitted to other healthy pearl oysters, and a large number of them will die if they die.

After two to three years of intensive care, the pearl oyster will secrete layers of nacre to wrap around the implanted bead nucleus, which is the pearl.

It takes at least six years to cultivate a seawater pearl, and the yield of the finished product is very low, because the number of pearl oysters that can grow healthy and successfully breed pearls through the process is very small. The difference between natural pearls is whether there is a core or not, so it is generally believed that the artificial black pearls of Tahiti are natural black pearls in the market.

Of course, it is limited to black pearls, cultured pearls of other colors are still cultured pearls, because there are too few pure natural black pearls.

"I won't sell it anymore." Xiang Yang stretched out his hand directly, "Give me back the pearl."

"Oh, don't worry, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can continue to discuss it." Song Chaoshu said hastily.

"Then how much do you say?" Xiang Yang asked.

Song Chaoshu frowned, "Boss Xiang, why don't you offer the price."

Xiang Yang thought for a while and said: "This black pearl is full of pearls, and what's more rare is that it has a regular shape. You know how rare it is, Mr. Song. It costs 500,000 yuan."

The price Xiang Yang set was not random.

On October 2, 2018, an auction was held in Tianxin District, opposite the Public Security Department of Changsha City. The final auction price of a pure natural wild black pearl with a diameter of 12.4 mm was 483,000. thousand.

Although the diameter of the black pearl in Xiang Yang's hand is less than twelve millimeters, the current price will only increase and not decrease from that time. The asking price of 500,000 is the best reference price.

"It's impossible." Song Chaoshu immediately shook his head and said, "The value of this black pearl itself is simply impossible to be worth that much. The prices of things on the website fluctuate greatly, and when you meet two people who happen to like this thing very much, the price may far exceed the item itself, and our transaction price cannot be set according to the auction price."

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "But the only reference price I can find is 500,000 yuan. Mr. Song, think about it, how rare is this black pearl, and how often will the auction be changed? You don't want to buy this black pearl back and make it for yourself A sign?"

Although Xiang Yang doesn't know the exact net worth of Boss Song, but seeing that he can drive such a big speedboat to catch every fish, he is worth a lot. Five hundred thousand should be enough for him, and he is a jewelry maker himself. Desperately want this pearl.

Song Chaoshu really wanted this pearl very much, but Xiang Yang’s asking price of 500,000 yuan was really inflated. Even if he tried to sell this pearl, it would be difficult for him to sell it at such a high price. He is a businessman. It is impossible to trade at a loss.

"Boss Xiang, 500,000 is indeed high. Except for the possibility of getting this price in the auction house, it is impossible for anyone to sell 500,000. Let's keep it low." Song Chaoshu said.

Xiang Yang frowned, "How low is the low point?"
