Chapter 700: The Gambling Pond (4)
Coupled with the 6 selected, Li Yi has probably looked at about 10 ropes, and he already knows the quality of Liu Gen's pearls very well. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Normally, the quality of the pearls produced in each rope cage is about the same, but there are occasional exceptions. It's like Li Yi selected these 6, one of which has a large pearl of more than 17 mm in one cage, and also produces 3 large pearls of more than 14 mm.
But apart from this one, the other 5 ropes produce at most one or two beads over 15 mm, and the others are just 14 mm more than those that were not selected, and the number is extremely limited.
This is quite different from his judgment at the beginning, that is to say, in fact, the gambling pond is a relatively small gambling method, but the amount of money invested is relatively large, ordinary people can't afford to play, and the rich are not willing to use large investment to fight that is not a very rich profit, so there is no large-scale development.
While pondering silently, he casually glanced at the remaining four ropes, and suddenly his eyes froze, staring at a cage on one of the ropes at the very edge.
The color of the pearls in this cage seems to be a little different!
Li Yi quickly looked at a few more cages, yes, I don't know if it was because of the water quality or what the reason, the cages he looked at, except for one that was yellow, the color of the pearls in the other cages was not the same as the ones they fished up just now! Not only is it a lot whiter, but it also seems to have a faint pink!
He stared, adjusted the distance of perspective, and stared carefully at one of the cages on the very edge.
That's right, it's supposed to be that white, slightly rosy pink!
In his sight, the pearls among the dozen or so pearl mussels were like clouds on the horizon, dyed with a faint blush because the sun had not yet shown its head and was about to show its head!
"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them!"
Li Yi frowned, but unfortunately there is only this one, and not all of them are this color, otherwise he will really make a lot of money this time. Moreover, according to the experience just now, it is likely that the large pearls on a rope are not enough to be strung into a necklace, and it is not known what the production of this rope is.
Shaking his head, Li Yi finally decided to save the surprise until the moment he opened the mussel, so he turned his head and picked out one from the other ropes, then got up and walked to the place where the pearls were collected, and looked at it silently.
In fact, the yellow pearls are not ugly, on the contrary, such a pot of similar size stacked together, it looks very attractive.
It's just that pearls of this color can be seen everywhere, so they can't be sold for a price. But if you really use 11 14 mm beads, with two 15 mm, two 16 mm, and one 17 mm bead, you can also make a superb pearl necklace!
With the necklace, the color is not something he can control, but at least it will not make the customer think that they have no strength.
"Boss Li, I don't know what's going on, there are fewer pearls over 14 mm in this batch of beads than in previous years. But even so, you shouldn't lose that price. ”
Liu Gen saw him frowning and flipping the basin containing pearls of more than 14 millimeters, and couldn't help but explain.
Li Yi smiled, he would pick out five or six pearl mussels from each rope, and among those mussels, there was at least one pearl of more than 14 mm, how could there be more left?
However, the reason why he did this was just that he didn't want Liu Gen to feel too regretful, but he didn't expect that it would make him feel a little sorry, or a weak heart?
"Hehe, it's nothing, everyone makes less money."
He casually said twice, Liu Gen nodded, greeted, took a guy, and began to salvage the cages on the remaining two ropes.
"Huh? The color of the pearls in this mussel seems to be a little different......"
Before the last rope was finished, the fat elephant cut another pearl mussel, but he didn't notice that it had come out of a freshly fished cage.
When he wanted to classify the pearls in the pearl mussels according to their size and throw them into different basins, he suddenly found a phenomenon, the color of these pearls actually changed!
Normally, pearls cultured in the same pond are generally only one color. Only in the large water area with a living water source like Liu Gen's cultivation will there be different colors of pearls in the same water area according to the different locations and water flows.
The water surface contracted by Liu Gen is close to the outlet of the lake, which is the lowest level of the entire water surface, so when he finds that the pearls of the neighbor's house are all fine and only he has something to do, he will wonder if someone has thrown something not very good at the water surface of his house alone.
"It's normal for a small amount of pearl to change color......"
Except for Li Yi, everyone else is very accustomed to it. However, when Hongchen and the two pearl divers picked pearls of this color one after another, the lake began to become a little chaotic......
After bringing all the pearls back to the hotel, Li Yi asked Fat Elephant and Hongchen to open the dozens of pearl mussels that they brought back that they were supposed to give to relatives and friends, and sold all the pearls below 10 mm and all the defective pearls to a pearl buyer, recovering a small half of the cost.
On his hands, there are dozens of large pearls of more than 14 mm, and an even more number of perfect round beads between 10 mm and 14 mm.
"It seems that you can still make a lot of money by betting on pearls......"
Zheng Shusen played with the large pearl with a diameter of 17.9 mm, and at the same time picked out the suitable pearls that could be matched with it into a necklace, and placed them on the bed one by one, and after a while, he came up with several shapes.
"Just choose this classic style, you are responsible for finding a place to process it, and I will go and bet on some other colors to come back."
Li Yi glanced at it casually, and simply made a division of labor, and the next day, the two began to act separately.
Finding a local to lead the way, Li Yi rushed to another local pearl farming village.
The farming waters in this village are a little different from the place they went to yesterday, the pearls are kept in those ponds that look like fish ponds dug out by hand, and the area of each pond is not very large, even if it is all covered, it will not cost much.
This method of farming has advantages and disadvantages over the kind of large-water aquaculture. The advantage is that the water surface is small, which is convenient for adding various minerals and cultivating pearls of various colors in a directional manner. The disadvantage is that because it is not living water, it is easy to form pollution, and the overall quality of the cultivated pearls is not as good as that of large water culture.
"These ponds can be gambled, each pond is 3 million, and there is no bargaining."
Wang Cheng, a large local farmer, learned that Li Yi and they had come to gamble on the pond, so he led them to a pond that had been divided into fields, and pointed to a few of them.
Li Yi didn't speak, stood next to one of the ponds and watched for a while, shaking his head.
The water here is very shallow, only about forty or fifty centimeters, and the cages are relatively large, so they are placed directly at the bottom of the water, and many of the bottoms are stuck in the silt, and even the pearl oysters cannot be seen.
In the pond that Li Yi saw, all the cultivated were golden pearls, and they were also the kind of mussels that matured after 1,000 days. But unlike Liu Gen's, the proportion of large pearls produced here is even lower. Moreover, the gold pearls of this house may be because the mussel species is not good, and the coloration on the surface of some pearls looks a little empty, and the quality rate of such pearls after polishing will be lower than that of normal pearls.
After looking at the two more ponds, the basic situation was almost the same, which of course could not satisfy Li Yi. However, when he was about to leave, the corner of his eye seemed to catch a fleeting white light, and he couldn't help but move his heart and turned his head back.
His eyes swept over the cage that he had just taken, and the pearls in the few pearl mussels were in full view, but nothing suspicious was found.
Li Yi knew that the reason why he felt a flash of white light just now should be because of the effect caused by turning his head too quickly and remaining in his line of sight. However, no matter how fast it is, no matter how much it remains, if there is no white thing, it can't form a white light.
He pondered as he expanded the scope of his search, and soon he looked at the pearls in several nearby cages, but still found nothing.
Blinded?
Li Yi raised his gaze, his gaze inadvertently swept over a small hole in the cage that was obviously not normally formed, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked:
"Boss Wang, you use this kind of cage to raise pearl mussels, will it happen that the pearl mussels run away because the cage is broken?"
"Hehe, how could it not? Every year! If the water is shallow like us, you can still catch it, but if the water is deep, it can only be left to him. ”
"Oh...... So, your offer of 3 million should also include these escapees? ”
"It's included, but there aren't many who can escape, and we check the cages every once in a while, and if we find that the pearl mussels have escaped, we will catch them all, so there shouldn't be a few escaped shells here. Of course, if you insist on it, Mr. Li, we can also try to find it for you. ”
"Well, 3 million for a pond, is there any discount?"
Wang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head,
"Boss Li, you will know the quality of my pearls, and you will definitely not ask for more than 3 million!"
As he spoke, he scooped up one of the cages closest to the shore from the water.
"Mr. Li, let's open a few mussels and look at the pearls!"
Li Yixin said What else am I looking at, most of the pearl mussels in your ponds have already been seen by me!
"Hehe, there's no need to watch it, anyway, it's a gamble on luck. As long as Boss Wang can ensure that your price is fair enough, then this pond, I will bet on it! (To be continued.) )
