The price of black gold abalone depends on life and death first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

They have very good vitality, they can survive for about two days in a professional storage box after leaving the water, and the price of live black gold abalone is twice as expensive as dead black gold abalone.

Generally speaking, people catch black gold abalone, first put it in a preservation box, and then bring it to the market within 24 hours, where buyers are constantly looking for black gold abalone, and it is very good to sell.

This is the first time that the price has been set, and as long as it is a live black gold abalone, it can be sold for at least five hundred dollars.

Five hundred dollars is a base price, and this middle-aged man wants to use the base price to buy Li Du's abalone, but this is a dream.

Looking at the size and weight, according to the regulations of the Fishing and Hunting Bureau, the black gold abalone must reach at least 5 inches, or 12.5 centimeters, in length before it can be sent to the market.

In fact, there are not only such big guys in the market, but also small ones, but they are all sold on the black market.

And once they enter the black market, the black gold abalone is worthless, and the black market is full of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and they will do their best to reduce the price to obtain profit margins.

Abalone between 5 inches and 6 inches is one price, basically not more than one centimeter in length, and the base price can be increased by 100 pieces.

Starting from 6 inches, 6 inches to 7 inches is another price, and the base price can be increased by 200 yuan for each additional centimeter of length.

Black gold abalone over 7 inches is very valuable and rare, and one can often be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

The reason for this is that the 7-inch-long black gold abalone has often lived for hundreds of years, and the fact that they can live for so long indicates that they live in a unique place and abundant food.

Black gold abalone is a very lazy life, as long as the water quality is okay and the food is okay, then they will definitely not change the living area, and they will continue to live there.

And if you live in one place for a hundred years, you will basically grow there, and there will be no difference from the surrounding environment.

In this case, abalone cannot be caught using tools, and it is almost impossible to find this abalone.

In fact, an abalone is not worth more than 10,000 Australian dollars, it is all speculation in recent years, and a large number of wealthy people in East Asia and the Middle East have risen, who like to eat these novelties, which has caused the market where the price of black gold abalone remains high for a century.

In addition to length, there is another measure of black gold abalone, which is the mass-to-diameter ratio, the ratio of mass to diameter, and this mass is the weight after deducting the impurities on the shell.

Obviously, the higher the ratio, the fuller the meat, and the higher the price.

Li Du's abalone here is basically about 6 inches, the flesh is full, each is worth enough to be worth two thousand yuan, and in order to protect the vitality of the abalone, he did not even remove the impurities on the shell.

Hearing the price he quoted, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened: "Two thousand yuan?!man, this is a crazy price, no one would come up with such a price!"

Li Du shrugged and said, "I think if someone knows the goods, he will be willing to pay this money." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You're too optimistic, okay, won't you sell it for 500 yuan?" I dare to swear, what I'm giving you is the market price, if you want to sell it for 2,000 yuan, unless you fly directly to Europe, East Asia or the Middle East and sell it to the source hotel." ”

Not to mention 500 yuan, 1,500 yuan Li Du will not be sold.

The middle-aged man reluctantly raised the price for him, and asked him if he would sell it for a thousand yuan.

He could see the value of these abalones, they were all well-known abalones of good quality, and they could make a lot of money by selling them.

Li Du bit two thousand pieces to death, and the middle-aged man snorted and left.

Later, someone came to inquire about the price, and when they heard Li Du's offer, they couldn't accept it and left one after another.

Someone kept persuading Li Du to sell the abalone: "You see, it's been a while since they've been out of the water, right? they're about to die, and once they die, you won't be able to sell them for even two hundred yuan." ”

Li Du said calmly: "It's okay, you can also see, I have cats and dogs, if the abalone dies, I can give them food." ”

He waited for more than an hour at the market, and under the scorching sun, the number of people coming and going gradually increased, and the people had gone to lunch.

Li Du finally ushered in the real buyer, this is a Middle Eastern Arab-looking man, with a big beard and a serious face, leaned up to look at his abalone and asked, "Can I pick it up and try the texture?"

"Yes, sir. ”

The Arabs rolled up their sleeves and looked at them one by one, and asked, "How are you going to sell the abalone here?"

Li Du said: "Two thousand yuan each, a total of 22, if you buy them together, I can sell you for a total price of 40,000 yuan." ”

The Arabs said, "If the mass-to-diameter ratio can reach 120 and I buy them all, can I test them?"

Hearing this, Li Du knew that this was a big customer.

The mass-to-diameter ratio is the ratio of mass to diameter, mass is the unit of grams, and the diameter is the unit of inches.

Li Du nodded, and the Arabs brought two of their men, who carried small tools with them, and the two of them carefully knocked on the shell of the abalone to remove all the impurities attached to it.

It's like polishing a diamond, after the impurities are removed, and then washed with water, the beautiful shell of the black gold abalone will reveal its true face.

And that's not the ultimate form, the shell of the black gold abalone can be polished like a jewel, and they absorb calcium carbonate from seawater to create layers of ultra-thin nacre that form the inner wall.

In this case, the color and luster of their shells are not comparable to those of other abalones, and in recent years, these shells have even begun to be used to make high-end jewelry at a high price.

After some measurement, the two subordinates counted out the form and handed it to the Arab man.

The man glanced at it twice and smiled, and said, "Okay, 40,000 yuan, I'll buy it all." ”

Two of his subordinates gave Li Du some money, one cleaned up the black gold abalone, and handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

With 40,000 yuan in hand, Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "Pack up your things, let's leave and go to the island for a walk." ”

When it comes to fishing for black abalone, Golden Island is a place that cannot be bypassed, as the surrounding sea area is vast and wide, the seabed terrain is complex, and there are submarine volcanoes scattered there.

The submarine volcanic area is a favorite habitat for black gold abalone, which is rich in minerals necessary for their survival, as well as aquatic plants and seaweeds.

Leaving the bazaar, they had to find a place to have lunch and wash themselves.

After staying in the market for a while, Li Du felt that he had already stinked!

There are many places to eat on the island, and there are many seafood, big crabs, lobsters, just like eating buffets, giving the owner a hundred yuan to eat as you like.

However, the Godzilla and Da Ao brought by Li Du were big, and the shopkeeper raised the price to two hundred yuan, saying that two hundred yuan could be eaten as much as you wanted.

Li Du asked, "Really? Can these two guys eat as much as they want for 200 yuan each?"

The boss nodded: "Yes, yes." ”

Li Du waved his hand: "Let's go!"
