Chapter 44: The first business after crossing the earth
Of course, this is not to say that the two worlds are exactly the same. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At least Li Yan has discovered the biggest difference between the two worlds.
As a planet three times larger than the Earth, all the gold, silver, and precious stones on the huge Azure Star turned out to be only about the same as this Earth!
The reason why Li Yan is so familiar with this data is entirely because his father is a silversmith, and he is particularly concerned about relevant news on weekdays. Therefore, he will never be wrong about the data on the world's gold, silver, and precious stone stocks.
The result is a threefold difference in size and the same stock of gold, silver and gemstones, resulting in a huge difference in price!
Roughly speaking, the unit price of gold and silver on the earth is only one-third of that on the Azure Star! For example, the current gold price on the earth is about 300 soft girl coins per gram, and the price on Azure Star is about 900 Chinese dollars per gram!
In the same way, the price of silver on the earth is about 4 yuan more than a gram, and on the Azure Star it is about 12 yuan a gram!
And the Huaxia coin of Azure Star and the soft sister coin of the Chinese country of the earth, the purchasing power is almost the same!
On the earth, although gold and silver are also precious metals, they are far less scarce and sought after than those of Azure Star, and are even regarded as strategic resources by countries around the world.
On the earth, most of the people who do gold, silver and jewelry business are ordinary businessmen, but on the Azure Star, the industries related to gold, silver and jewelry are regarded as monopoly and profiteering industries, enjoying the same status as real estate, telecommunications and other industries. Jobs are highly sought-after by job seekers, and a young man who has graduated for a few years is often proud to be a mid-level player in a jewelry company.
When Li Yan traveled back to Azure Star with this information, he seemed to see an important business opportunity in his heart.
On the afternoon of returning to Azure Star, Li Yan immersed himself in studying the books, newspapers and maps of the earth that he had brought back, and then went to the local aquatic market.
Half an hour later, several staff members helped him carry a few boxes and put them in the trunk, and he drove out of the fish market.
In the evening, he went back to Zhaocheng again, and by the way, he handed over a few silver eggs born by Yinbao Chicken in the past few days to his father. These silvers, together with the original little inventory in the silver workshop, finally solved Li Yuandong's urgent need.
Early the next morning, Li Yan suddenly received an order, and when he saw that it was indeed an order to a parallel earth, he grabbed the order with great joy.
So, he carried a few water tanks and came to the parallel earth for the second time.
At this time, in a government office by the Huangpu River in Shenhai City, a small interview meeting is underway.
More than a dozen reporters, wearing badges from different media outlets, are holding microphones to interview a middle-aged man.
A female reporter in red said: "Director Chang Jiwei, you are the head of the endangered fish protection team of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, can you briefly introduce the content of today's 'press conference on the search and rescue of wild Chinese sturgeons'?" ”
The middle-aged man wears a pair of glasses and has an elegant temperament, but his expression is a little dignified when facing many microphones and cameras.
"Okay. First of all, I would like to briefly introduce the Chinese sturgeon, a species that has lived on the earth for 150 million years, once lived in the same era as the dinosaurs, known as a living fossil, the giant panda in the water, is an endangered animal under national key protection, and has also been listed as a first-class endangered species by the United Nations Convention. However, due to the impact of ecosystem changes and human activities, the number of wild Chinese sturgeons has been repeatedly reduced. In the last three years, we have not been able to detect signs of natural spawning of wild Chinese sturgeons in the past three consecutive years in monitoring activities carried out by national organizations. ”
Chang Jiwei paused, and his expression became more serious.
"This test result shows that this ancient and rare species that has lived on the earth for 150 million years is very likely to face extinction."
The reporters gave a soft wow and looked at each other, their faces full of shock and surprise.
Another reporter asked: "Director Chang, has the situation reached this point of seriousness?" Isn't it reported that the state invests a lot of money every year to carry out artificial breeding and release? Haven't these rescue measures had any effect? ”
Chang Jiwei said: "The state does invest heavily in artificial breeding and release every year, but the effect is not significant. There is also a lot of controversy in the industry about artificial enhancement and release, which cannot directly affect the natural reproduction of wild Chinese sturgeons, and can only be regarded as a last resort method to preserve the species. According to studies, the survival rate of Chinese sturgeons from the release site to the Yangtze River estuary is only 5%. ”
The reporter asked: "Director Chang, what is the purpose of your press conference today to collect all news related to wild Chinese sturgeons from all walks of life at a high price?" ”
Chang Jiwei said: "First of all, the protection of wild Chinese sturgeons is not only a matter for our research institute, but also for the whole society. We hope that through this press conference, we can arouse the attention of all sectors of society and jointly contribute to the conservation of wild Chinese sturgeons. Secondly, our institute has made new breakthroughs in fertilization, genetics and other technologies, and urgently needs several live wild Chinese sturgeons to cooperate with research. Therefore, we hope to mobilize the forces of all sectors of society, especially fishermen, aquatic workers and fish lovers along the Yangtze River, to search for wild Chinese sturgeons. If we can provide valuable leads, we will pay them heavily. ”
He folded his hands and said to the reporters in front of him: "Protecting endangered wild species is a great way to protect them for the present and for the future." Last week, we have published a reward notice in the newspaper, and today we have held a special press conference, I hope that all media friends understand, and I hope you can widely publicize, so that more people realize the importance of this cause, please, thank you! ”
Then he bent down and bowed deeply to the reporters.
The reporters looked at Chang Jiwei and applauded with a heavy heart.
After the press conference, Chang Jiwei returned to his office.
In the office, a staff member waited anxiously for him.
"Director, I just received the news that someone has already called the hotline, saying that they have important information on the traces of wild Chinese sturgeons and want to receive a reward."
"What? So fast? Chang Jiwei looked shocked and surprised, and then said in disbelief: "Could it be a liar who wants to cheat the reward?" ”
The staff said, "I don't know. The caller is said to be on the edge of the Huangpu River, and two inmates have made a special trip to verify it. ”
Chang Jiwei sat on his desk and spread out a stack of documents. "Then wait for their news."
The staff asked with some trepidation: "Director, no one will use artificially bred Chinese sturgeons to pass off as wild Chinese sturgeons, right?" ”
Chang Jiwei shook his head and said: "Our institute specializes in wild Chinese sturgeons, and the difference between artificial Chinese sturgeons and wild Chinese sturgeons is obvious, and they can't fool us." ”
As he was talking, the phone rang suddenly, Chang Jiwei picked up the phone and listened, his whole face was full of shock! "What do you say, really fake? This, this bastard! They mess around like this, if something happens, who can afford the consequences! ”
"Hurry up there and take a good look, I'll come right over!"
Chang Jiwei picked up his clothes in one hand and rushed out of the office in a hurry.
The staff asked him in the back: "Director, what happened?" ”
Chang Jiwei said without looking back: "Some fishermen have caught wild Chinese sturgeons!" ”
"Huh!?" The staff was surprised: "This is an event that is smaller than the probability of winning the lottery!" ”
