Island Fishery

Chapter 9: Live auction of pearls

   More than a dozen people walked into a small room. The cement floor was already cracked, and the surrounding light blue walls had begun to peel due to dampness, 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 with a 10 cm long carving knife, dirty blue leather gloves, and one of the wooden tables also has a red The fly-killing sticker is stuck with densely packed flies, some of which have not yet completely died, and are doing useless struggles.

"Hmm~ I'll take it~" Su Zhizhe frowned like a noble son, and even fanned the wind on both sides of his nose with his palms. His girlfriend "Yao Li" was also very dissatisfied, and took out high-end perfume from a delicate little purse. , 呲呲~ spray up.

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

   "Yeah, it doesn't cost much to buy a few broken tables to replace them."

"Tsk tsk, there are too many smelly flies here, worse than the workers' dormitory of our company." A dozen or so non-rich and noble guests said, the half-bald Zhao Bin just laughed, repeating: "When I look back Change it, change it later~"

The half-bald Zhao Bin waved his hand, and an old gray-haired worker walked in carrying a heavy plastic net frame, bang~ he put a large amount of white butterfly mussels on the corner of the table, and the old table creaked. , Seems to fall apart at any time.

   The face of the old worker was like a tree bark. 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 in the crowd, and found that the cameras that were incompatible with the style of the room were the very high-end cameras.

   In this small room, there are 8 cameras on the bright side, without any blind spots. This should be to prevent workers from stealing pearls.

   "People who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders." Li Shu secretly 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."

After wearing gloves, the old worker sits on a stool, holding a knife in his right hand and a clam in his left, brushing the blade accurately into the clam shell with a light stroke, the clam shell is opened instantly, and he skillfully squeezes it out of the clam shell. A round white pearl was squeezed out.

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

   "The color and sleekness are good, and they are quite big, please measure the size."

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

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

   "Interesting and interesting." Li Shu was happy.

"The diameter of the white pearl is 19.1mm, very slightly flawed, and the color is excellent... It can be rated as the best pearl, the best grade 19mm pearl, whether it is a necklace or a pendant, it is a very good choice. The price is about 250,000 ringgits. .

  Let’s do it, I’m shooting it now, the bosses are free to bid, the higher the price is. "The half-bald Zhao Bin said with a smile.

"150000!"

   "180,000!"

  ……

"300000!"

After some random bidding, Su Zhizhe, who has green hair, successfully won it for RM300,000. He handed the pearls to his girlfriend at will. Yao Li instantly beamed with joy. Others congratulated him. Su Zhizhe was full of joy. Arrogant.

   When he looked around, his gaze shifted to Li Shu standing on his right, he was taken aback for an instant: "Your bird needles don't poke~"

   "啾啾~"

The cute thrush stood on Li Shu’s shoulder and jumped twice, craned its neck and looked towards the center of the crowd. It wanted to jump on top of Li Shu’s head to see. After all, it would stand taller, but it was afraid that Li Shu would beat it. .

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

"Thank you, I feel so too." Su Zhizhe slapped his green hair with a trace of triumph in his expression. His left hand habitually rubbed the top-quality emperor's green finger on his right finger, and smiled: "I raise I have a cute parrot, and he likes 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 I like to raise birds, then make friends." Su Zhizhe took out a business card that looked like a black jade, and Li Shu found that the business card was in Mandarin, English and Malay. The language records the information, and it says on the front-Su Zhizhe, Chairman of Su's Consulting Co., Ltd. The phone number is on the back.

   Li Shu was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I don't have a business card, but let's add cell phone numbers to each other. 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? Hey~ Niubi~ I remember that the lease on that island is less than one year, right? , Hehe~ If you want to renew the lease, you can find me, the price is absolutely cheap."

   Li Shu was taken aback. He wanted to continue to inquire about Neverland, but Su Zhizhe seemed to be reluctant to say more. He could only give up.

   A piece of white butterfly is still being opened. The diameter of the pearl is mostly 15~18mm. Even if there is a 19mm diameter occasionally, the quality is not up to the top.

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

   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 a pearl with a diameter of 15mm and inferior quality in terms of price.

  After opening the pearl mussels, everyone returned to the office building, and the half-bald Zhao Bin began to receive Li Shu and others alone. Of course, if he was purely visiting, he would not be received alone.

   squeak~

   The half-bald Zhao Bin brought Li Shu to his small office. A huge white jade Maitreya Buddha 60 cm high on the dark red solid wood table is very eye-catching.

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

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

"Oh? Our group cultivates pearl mussels by ourselves, but also buys pearls in the society." The half-bald Zhao Bin's eyes lit up: "The finest pearls the better, please rest assured, Mr. Li. In the Malaysian pearl industry, our dzi beads Nake Group is one of the strongest companies. As long as the pearls are good, the price is not a problem."

   "Okay, I'll bring it here next time." Li Shu said lightly, he naturally doesn't have pearls now, but he believes he can cultivate a batch of pearls.
