Pearls are essentially "stones" formed by the oyster mantle being stimulated by foreign bodies to secrete nacre and wrap it layer by layer, compared with stones in other animals, the texture is purer and the appearance is more shiny. Because it is relatively easy to collect and process, pearls have entered human life as early as antiquity.

Since the vast majority of pearls are white or pink in color, it is common for people to take a high look at the rare yellow, blue, green, black and other colors of the beads.

About 3,000 kilometres east of Fiji, the island of Tahiti (Tahiti) in the Windward Islands of French Polynesia is famous for its black pearls. The black pearls there are large and plump, and are loved by European royalty and high society.

And then the love of mankind, once again, almost wiped out a species.

After more than a century of frenzied fishing, the local wild black lipped mussels are almost extinct, and most of the black pearls on the market today are the product of artificial breeding. Fortunately, due to the limited scale of cultivation, Tahitian black pearls are not sold as cheaply as freshwater white pearls, which have surged in production, and still maintain a relatively noble value.

It is not difficult to explain why Tang Jiayi looked at them and smirked inexplicably.

In the delicate porcelain plate, there are 9 black pearls of various sizes, the large one is a little larger than the cherry, but the small one is like a pinch of small green beans. With the slight swaying of the boats, they dripping and rolling in the plate, reflecting the pearl light, proving that their roundness is quite good, which is exactly what the ancients called the best grade walking plate beads.

She hadn't seen bigger pearls before, and the bracelet she bought in Palawan last year had each bead bigger than these, with much better luster and flaws, and a jewelry certificate, which was naturally more valuable, but these beads were different.

Wild natural pearls are secondary, the key is that they are all peeled off from the mantle of the black-lipped mussel by Tang Jiayi herself. The sense of engagement brings her very different value judgments, and even the boat has become more likable because of them.

On the plate in front of you is an exclusive cutlery commissioned by the yacht owner, with the yacht's emblem and the ship's name, FairyPearl.

The shipowner may have named it only because of its milky white color and rounded outline, but in Tang Jiayi's eyes, the name "Pearl Goddess" has some different flavor of good luck.

In a daze, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of her, first shook it from side to side a few times, and when she didn't react, she grabbed the plate and pulled it into her arms.

"Ahh

The pearls did roll towards the edge of the plate due to inertia, but under Atletico's delicate control, they could only roll back and forth on the constantly tilting plate, and eventually were poured into a bottle with a soft cloth, never to roll again.

"Aren't they just a few ordinary black pearls, and not those two Palawan pearls, so nervous?"

"Cut! So ugly, give it to me and don't want it yet?" Tang Jiayi pursed her lips and reached out to reach for the bottle containing the black pearl, but she didn't open it.

"You don't want to buy it, people don't want to sell it yet!"

In Tang Jiayi's eyes, the two well-known beads in Atletico Madrid's mouth cannot be regarded as pearls, because the appearance is too strange and not "pearls" at all.

Most pearls have natural flaws in their appearance, either they are not round enough, or there are too many potholes, so those round and full beads will be sought after by humans for thousands of years. Until now, the three major criteria for evaluating pearls in the international practice are roundness, luster and imperfections. Therefore, merchants will be eager to study pearl polishing and polishing techniques. It's a pity that pearls are produced because of layers of wrapping, the structure is not as uniform as jade, and the failure rate of polishing is very high.

But for those large pearls, the three standards can be put aside, because big is beautiful, big is good, big is expensive.

Ordinary pearls are only a few millimeters in diameter and weigh in carats, but there are many wonders in the world, and the discovery of two super huge pearls in Palawan, Philippines, has greatly broken these two records, and they have gained world-class popularity and valuation.

The first one was discovered in the 30s of the last century, weighing more than 6 kilograms and 24 centimeters long, and was named "Pearl of Allah" because the surface was full of folds that resembled a human face. The second one recently exposed is even more exaggerated, weighing 34 kilograms, with a length of 66 centimeters, and the appearance is even more bizarre, it looks like a piece of fat, and the preciousness is there, but unfortunately it is not round at all, and it cannot be said to be a "pearl".

Of course, this does not affect their value, after all, rarity is value in itself. The Pearl of Allah once fetched several million dollars, or $20 million or $30 million when adjusted for inflation, and is said to have been in a jeweler's possession for a long time. The new one is bigger and heavier, and the Philippine brick family has offered it a sky-high price of 100 million US dollars, but it has to be identified and endorsed by international brick families before this price can be confirmed.

Moreover, this big guy is still "not for sale", and the Philippine Tourism Bureau also hopes to attract tourists and save the local tourism industry, which has been hit hard by frequent kidnappings.

Tang Jiayi naturally understood this, and just said it casually. But after such a break from Atletico Madrid, she no longer has the fascination and fanaticism she had just now.

Turning his head to look at Atletico, "I suddenly have a great idea, do you want to listen to it?"

The latter was not very excited, and said lightly: "Anyway, there is still a period of time before the anchor is docked, so you can talk about it." ”

Tang Jiayi also didn't care, she is now in a state of opening her brain, not vomiting and unhappy, and it is even more uncomfortable not to let her say it.

"That's right", Tang Jiayi poked the mobile phone on the table, "I think 'Coral Kingdom' can produce a peripheral product to sell fake pearl oysters to players, of course, real pearls must be put inside." Ordinary beads are not very expensive, and they should sell very well, and the number of players in this game is tens of millions. ”

Coral Kingdom (KOC) is a popular mobile game under Bee Games, this simulation game puts the perspective on the coral reef below the sea surface, countless people dream of coral reefs, players need to control a group of polyps, from scratch to build a reef area, attract fish, fight natural predators, resist human pollution, and finally create a vibrant underwater kingdom.

Because of the exquisite modeling, reasonable system, and strong environmental protection feelings, this quiet and tranquil stand-alone game was praised and recommended by major environmental protection organizations as soon as it was launched, and it quickly became popular, with more than 30 million downloads within half a month, which can be called the first phenomenal mobile game in the middle of the year. Although it is still inferior to the more popular AR online game PokemonGO, it is enough to make Bee Game proud, after all, the popularity of the latter is inseparable from the strong heritage of the Pokemon series of handheld games that have swept the world for more than ten years.

After the game showed a popular trend, it naturally received more attention from bees, and the investment of related resources also increased suddenly, giving more celebrities demo sets with gifts, holding coral reef beauty contests, speeding up the update and introducing more attractions and fish species, launching KOC customized seawater tank services, and cooperating with relevant international organizations to launch conservation actions, etc., which pushed the momentum of this game to a new height.

As the biggest celebrities in their camp, the Atletico couple is of course no exception, actively amusing the game on different occasions. The former just built an account and occasionally came up to take a look, and interacted with the player, Tang Jiayi was really addicted to it, and whenever she had spare time, she picked up her mobile phone and opened the game. This game is a 3D game that consumes more power, and it also simulates the various behaviors of dozens or hundreds of unique creatures through the AI engine, so the power consumption is naturally proper. This is also the reason why Tang Jiayi always wants to grab Atletico Madrid's mobile phone to use, and she has to charge her own backup machine, how can it be convenient to use it, just pass the progress to OK.

looked at his game nerd steadily, until the other party was embarrassed, and then Atletico said, "Are you really good at pushing yourself and others?"

"Why not? I'm starting from human nature itself, so it should be fine. ”

Obviously, Tang Jiayi's suggestion was inspired by her own experience. For her now, anything related to coral reefs and oceans can arouse Tang Jiayi's great interest, let alone round and shiny pearls. Even if Atletico gave her just an ordinary freshwater pearl oyster, she would take it with great interest and find a way to open it.

If it weren't for Atletico's repeated remarks that other oysters under the water are still young, it should not be too late to conceive pearls, she can't help but carry the oxygen cylinder and experience the fun and hard work of pearling under the sea.

Pushing herself and others, Tang Jiayi felt that there should be many people with similar thoughts. Those world-famous "diamond parks", obviously because of poor taste, low reserves, abandoned diamond pits, but can still attract tourists from all over the world to try their luck, which shows how serious human gambling is. Unfortunately, oysters die soon after leaving the water as aquatic creatures, and there is no way to sell them directly like in the game, so she came up with the idea of making artificial pearl oysters out of plastic or shells.

After thinking for a while, Atletico said: "It's not impossible, this thing is equivalent to a physical version of the treasure chest, as long as the price is reasonable, it should not worry about sales." But the problem is also here, if the price is set very low, you need to dilute the cost with a lot of junk beads, and it will become something like instant lottery drift. And then this thing, you know..."

Of course Mr. Tang understood, and the mention of color drifting meant that this guy should not be interested. Two or three years ago, when the Internet was popular, many Internet companies were involved, but Bee Network's plan to follow the trend was stopped by Atletico Madrid. Soon, several national departments jointly issued a document to stop the online color drifting business and have also replied to the release. Although some people have brainstormed and used the skin of 1 yuan crowdfunding to make the so-called one-yuan treasure grabbing, the momentum is far less than it was at the beginning, and this also has serious legal risks that may be stopped at any time. Bee also didn't mix in this time, but added similar content to the candy game of sugar packet payment to increase the entertainment.

"Okay, okay, I know," Tang Jiayi said a little frustratedly: "You have to maintain the reputation of conscience, right? ”

Relying on leading technology and lower development costs, even if the APU mining is not as active as its peers, bees can still live a very nourishing life by relying on "small profits and quick turnover". Relying on a variety of tap water and spontaneous traffic, the user acquisition cost of various businesses of bees is much lower than that of peers, and the brand advantage is gradually taking shape.

Atletico shook his head, "It's not that it can't be done." The restored pearl oyster is completely pushed out as a limited peripheral, not expecting it to make money, but to commemorate it. As for playing games to get pearls, you don't have to go so much trouble to make an oyster shell and put it up, just produce special pearls in the game and then exchange them for mailing, which can be regarded as a contribution to the domestic pearl industry. ”

Picking up his phone and sending an email to the manager of the reef studio, expressing his thoughts and purpose, Atletico put the matter aside. Next, it is the business of the employees to calculate and formulate the details of the activity and contact the manufacturer to reserve materials.

As for the reaction of the studio members over there when they saw this news, whether they would secretly scold "a mouth above, a broken leg below", it is not for them to pay attention to.

The speed of the yacht slowed down suddenly, and soon a familiar shaking sensation hit, and the two of them looked at each other, and both knew that it was the arrival of the port.

Paradise Island is a typical coral island, with a relatively flat terrain and a maximum of only 17 meters, and the overall "C" shape, surrounded by a lagoon with an area of more than 10 hectares, which can be called a natural harbor. Unfortunately, the water depth is not enough to moor large ships, so the island has not been effectively developed. Fortunately, for a yacht with a draft of only more than two meters, there is really no problem in entering it through the waterway, otherwise Tang Jiayi would not have made the decision to buy this island.

Disembarking at the makeshift pier in the leeward quarter, Atletico took his wife by the hand and walked straight through a mangrove forest to the villa on the heights.

Of course, the house has to be built on a high ground, not to mention that the rise in sea level caused by global warming will inundate the houses in the lower places, just because the sea water rushes into the lagoon during the storm surge, causing the lake level to rise, people have to build the house on a high place, and there is no choice to buy it permanently, and there are also this considerations. } Sexy private photos show crisp breasts and buttocks, 95 post-school flowers kill otaku, please pay attention to the WeChat public account to see the beauty online (beauty island search meinvdao123 press and hold for 3 seconds to copy)
