"What is this?" he asked, looking at his papers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hans didn't answer, but said, "Be careful, don't break it!"

Li Du said: "This card is very hard, what is it, is it valuable?"

Hans told him a few more words, and then said complacently: "Yes, this thing is very valuable, and we are so lucky that we have found a black gold abalone fishing license." ”

"Black gold abalone fishing license?" Li Du looked at the card and understood what the shellfish pattern on it was, it turned out to be a black gold abalone.

Black gold abalone is a kind of black abalone, which is a very rare marine creature, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present day, and is called a living fossil by biologists.

This black abalone is an Australian specialty, only found in Australia and New Zealand, and their meat and shells are highly sought after around the world, and the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand call it black gold, so it has the nickname "black gold abalone".

Since ancient times, Chinese have a different passion for sea cucumbers and abalone, in fact, abalone is distributed in many seas around the world, because of the difficulty of fishing, cooking is difficult, before the export of East Asian food culture, abalone in many places is cheap.

For example, in the waters of the Americas, where the United States is located, there are many kinds of rare abalone, but Americans don't eat it, and they don't like to eat it.

Later, with the enhancement of the national strength and economic capacity of East Asian countries, especially China, East Asians' love for abalone began to affect the world, driving the price of this seafood to rise.

The exception to this is the black gold abalone, which has been particularly expensive since ancient times, as it plays a very important role in New Zealand's indigenous Maori culture and beliefs, and is believed by the Maori people to have magical powers to ward off evil spirits and protect the race.

As a result, black gold abalone is a very common element in Maori mythology, and it can be seen everywhere in Maori sculpture.

Looking at this black gold abalone fishing license, Li Du asked: "Can you catch abalone with this certificate? Why haven't I heard that the United States has this law?"

Hans said triumphantly: "You haven't heard that it's normal, this document is not used in the United States, but in Australia, and can be used in Australia and New Zealand." ”

He introduced the preciousness of this document to Li Du, because wild abalone resources are extremely limited, in order to maintain sustainable fishery development, many Australian governments have formulated a series of strict restrictions on black gold abalone in terms of fishing quotas and fishing operations.

Unlike other regions, artificial diving fishing is the only legal way to harvest black gold abalone in Australia, and the law prohibits any artificial oxygen equipment while diving.

In the limited time underwater, divers also have to select abalone with a diameter of more than 12.5 cm before they can be caught, which is extremely difficult.

In other words, if you want to fish for black gold abalone in Australia, you can't bring oxygen cylinders, you can only rely on your own diving ability, and you can't use machines to catch this precious seafood.

Hearing this, Li Du nodded suddenly: "Oh, this is the same as the regulations of the Fossil Forest National Park to find fire opals, in order to protect resources, they can only be obtained manually, and the use of machines is strictly prohibited." ”

Hans shook his head: "It is more difficult to catch black gold abalone, there are at most a few wild wolves and some snakes and insects in the national park, but the Australian waters are different, there are all kinds of wild marine animals living in them all year round." ”

"Seals, sharks, sea snakes, turtles, etc., their presence makes many seas in Australia full of dangers, so fishing for black abalone is a very dangerous profession in Australia. ”

Li Du said: "In this case, is this certificate still valuable?"

Hans said as a matter of course: "Surely, it is more dangerous to go to Alaskan waters to catch king crabs every year, but you see, every time it is king crab fishing season, there are still fishermen who rush there in groups?"

The preciousness of this black gold abalone fishing license lies in the fact that in order to protect wild abalone, the Australian government not only formulated a fishing restriction policy, stipulating that a fishing license must be used to fish, but also stopped issuing such a certificate more than 20 years ago.

In other words, this black gold abalone fishing license is a limited edition, and it will only decrease in the future, and will never increase.

Hans told Li Du: "The black gold abalone fishing license is an heirloom for many families in Australia, and the rest of the time they go out to sea, they will keep it in a bank safe. ”

Li Du was surprised: "Is it so precious?"

Hans sneered and said, "Do you know how much this thing costs in the market?"

Li Du shook his head, and Hans raised five fingers of his right hand, so he asked, "Fifty thousand?"

Hans said angrily: "Five million, Australian dollars!"

Li Du was shocked: "What are you kidding? This thing is worth five million, five million Australian dollars, almost four million dollars?"

Hans said firmly: "Don't question me, I just looked it up on the Internet." In fact, fishing licenses are priceless in Australia, and no one wants to transfer their fishing licenses. ”

This is very understandable, the production of black gold abalone has been decreasing year by year, and there has been no large-scale war in the world, although the world economy has been sluggish in recent years, but the overall momentum is still rising.

People have money, then they have to enjoy, life in the world is nothing more than eating, drinking, Lazar, the price of black gold abalone is rising year by year, they do not care about catties, but only sell, a minimum of 100 dollars, the price is immeasurable.

Four million dollars seems like a lot, but in fact, for Australian black gold abalone fishers, the annual harvest can be at least four or five hundred thousand dollars.

In this way, if you invest in buying a black gold abalone fishing license, you can recover the cost for ten years at most, and then it will be a net profit, and it can be passed on to future generations.

For example, having a black gold abalone fishing license in Australia is really equivalent to having a cornucopia.

I don't know where Victer found this black gold abalone fishing license, he kept it very well, and he cheapened Li Du and Hans.

Australia's black gold abalone fishing license is anonymous, and whoever gets it can use it, which is also one of the reasons for the high price of the fishing license.

Li Du looked at the document and grinned: "Good luck, it's really good luck, wouldn't we be able to become members of the Quasi-Million Club by selling it?"

Hans nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Of course, of course, of course we can become members of the Quasi-Million Club, and we will each be able to share millions in no time, which is great!"

With this harvest, the two were very happy, and the rest of the old goods were simply packed up, and they returned to Flagpole City the next day.

Godzilla and Ooku unloaded the truck, and Li Du went to ask Hans, "Hey, man, how are you going to sell this fishing license?

Hans looked at him hesitantly and asked, "Are you really going to sell it?"

Li Du said: "What is really fake? Can we collect it like Mr. Victer?"

Hans licked his lips and said, "No, why don't we use it to make money?"
