Chapter 697: Gambling Pond (1)
The two pearl mussels that Zheng Shusen chose were more thoughtful in length, and there were no impurities on the mussel shells, but the one Li Yi pointed out to him was different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If the two he chose were both handsome men and beautiful women, the one Li Yi chose for him was an obvious ugly man, not only the color was ugly, but also the clam shell was pitted, like the shell of an oyster.
"Boss, how much is this?"
"Hehe, this is not small, 400."
Zheng Shusen took out another 300 yuan and handed it over,
"These three have a total of 1000, so help me open them!"
"Okay! Dude, which do you want to open first? ”
"Let's do it."
Zheng Shusen pointed to the largest one, and then saw the boss take out a machete, break the mussel shell in two clicks, and then break it hard, and the pearl sac was exposed in front of several people.
"Alas, another ...... lost a bet"
Zheng Shusen took the pearl mussel, and just saw that there seemed to be a lot of pearls in it, and a middle-aged man squatting next to him had already begun to shake his head and sigh.
"How?"
Zheng Shusen asked as he pulled the pearls.
"It's too small, and the shape of the larger one is irregular, so you can only grind pearl powder."
Zheng Shusen looked at it, and it was really what he said, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head,
"Pick these two up for me."
The boss reached out and picked up the small pearl mussel, cut it twice, and then took the one that Li Yi fancied, also opened it twice, and then threw a piece to Zheng Shusen.
"Oops, the bet has gone up, it's gone up! I think this pearl is at least 12 mm! ”
Zheng Shusen was looking at the little clam he had chosen, and the middle-aged man next to him had already screamed.
He stretched out his head to take a look, and sure enough, among the pearl mussels that Li Yi pointed out to him, not only did there be a round pearl with a diameter of more than 12 millimeters, but also a size that should not be under 10 millimeters.
"It's boring, it's boring, you, it's just that you're good at gambling on stones, wood, and crystals, and you're so good at betting on pearls! You kid, you can't be the reincarnation of the God of Gamblers, right? ”
Zheng Shusen knew the level of Li Yi's gambling on other things, but he didn't expect him to bet on pearls to be so bullish, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of weakness, if you always play like this, it will be embarrassing.
Li Yi smiled, this thing is that he didn't know, if he had known, he would have come over when he could only see through one centimeter, but unfortunately now he doesn't look at this little bit of stuff very much.
"You're still a little bit of a gamble?"
Zheng Shusen touched his chin, judging from the current situation, even if he finds those big buyers, there may not be good results, because they generally have relatively fixed partners, and those jewelry companies definitely need the best pearls, so the number of beads they leave behind may not be enough for them to choose.
Moreover, even if some are left, the price will most likely be higher, at least higher than the normal pearling season.
Li Yi can not care about these extra costs because he is the boss. But he's different, who doesn't want to help him share the burden? The more friends you are, the more you should pay attention to this!
Thinking through this truth, Zheng Shusen beckoned to the boss and asked:
"Boss, is there a big bet on pearls?"
"Bet big? Of course there is, but it's not something that the average person can afford. ”
I didn't expect that there was really a big bet! Now, not only Zheng Shusen, but even Li Yi has also paid attention, is it said that the quality of the pearls to be gambled on is better? But this thing is not jadeite, no matter how good it is, how expensive can it be?
"You can go to the gambling pond, that thrill."
Betting on pearls does have a more exciting way to play called gambling ponds, which is a pond of gambling when the pearl mussels are still in the water.
Farmers here grow pearls, even on the river, which is divided into different areas because it is relatively easy to manage.
Because the pearl mussels in a pond are basically from the same year, all of them are caught during pearl diving. It's just that the farmers take out the pearls in the salvaged pearl mussels and sell them, just like selling jadeite materials, for them, there is only the concept of a good harvest and a bad harvest, which has nothing to do with gambling.
However, you have to admire the ingenuity and wit of the Chinese people, who can always think of some amazing ideas in order to make extra profits, so the gambling pond came into being.
I'll give you a price for drought and flood harvest, and you sell me all the pearl mussels in this pond, and we will live and die and be rich and prosperous according to our eyesight!
The boss explained briefly, Li Yi understood what was going on, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, why are so many people always in a hurry to send him money?
He shook his head helplessly, but Zheng Shusen misunderstood, thinking that he couldn't gamble.
However, it is indeed difficult to think about it, only a very small number of pearl mussels are produced, to estimate the production of pearl mussels in the entire pond, how can these inexperienced people be the opponents of those experienced farmers?
"Boss, where is the gambling pond you mentioned?"
Unexpectedly, Li Yi actually asked with interest where can I gamble on the pond, Zheng Shusen scratched his scalp again, and said in his heart What does this mean? The others are amazing, because they are all gambling piece by piece, but this gambling pond is different, this is like betting on the quality of the entire ore vein, you must have a lot of practical experience, you can do this?
"Haha, you can bet anywhere, it depends on the price you offer, and people are not satisfied!"
Li Yi nodded, indicating that he understood, according to what he said, the base is large enough, and it seems that this trip should not be in vain.
"Let's go, let's go see those buyers first, and then find a place to gamble!"
After thanking the boss, Li Yi walked towards the buyer's store leisurely, but he was thinking in his heart, this gambling pond is much more troublesome than gambling stones, and the income is far less than that of gambling stones, unless he can gamble on that kind of super-large and superb pearls.
However, a roller bead with a diameter of more than 20 millimeters is a rarer thing than glass, and the value of a diameter of 14 or 5 millimeters is not very high...... Forget it, even if it's to help the company develop one more category of jewelry.
Soon, the group found the façade of a large acquisition, and when they inquired, this one really had pearls with a diameter of more than 14 mm, and there were quite a few!
"This grain, and this grain, and this grain...... How much does it cost? ”
Li Yi frowned and picked out a few of the dozens of big pearls, although there are a lot of big pearls in this house, but it may be because they are all collected from different ponds, the color and luster are not the same, and there is no way to make up a superb necklace.
One is in this situation, and the others should not be much better, it seems that in the end, it will be necessary to rely on gambling to solve the problem!
It's just that he didn't give up buying because the pearls of the other houses were not ideal, because these companies do have good things, and if they can't make necklaces, they can be stored first, and they can probably be enough if they come a few more times. Besides, pearls aren't just pearl necklaces that need pearls.
After some purchases, Li Yi collected a total of more than 20 pearls, almost all of which were more than 15 mm in diameter. In terms of quantity, it is more than enough to make a necklace, but unfortunately, the colors of these pearls are not the same, and the most one is barely enough for a bracelet.
"Let's go, let's go back and rest today, and let's charter a car to gamble tomorrow!"
Xiaohu Village is one of the first villages in Zhuji to start contracting for water surface culture, and the whole village now has a total of thousands of acres of water surface, and the income from pearl culture is even higher than the annual financial income of some poor counties.
Liu Gen is a farmer in Xiaohu Village with outstanding skills, and he can earn millions of dollars every year by relying on cultured pearls, but this year he is a little worried.
I don't know if it's because of water pollution, but the several ponds of pearls he cultivated have problems to varying degrees, and the biggest impact is the color of the pearls.
In previous years, most of the pearls produced in his pond were pure white, not only full of grains, but also a high proportion of round pearls. But this year is different, the color of the first three pearls on the surface of the water that he salvaged has changed to varying degrees, all of them are yellow, and the most serious of them has turned golden!
If all of them mutate into gold, it's not as good as pure white, but it's not much different. However, the color of these pearls is gradual, one by one says that yellow is not yellow, gold is not gold, and the color is ugly!
The most bizarre thing is that the pearls cultivated by several households on the water surface adjacent to him did not have this phenomenon, which made him have to wonder if someone had plotted against him, and someone had dropped some kind of chemical agent on the surface of the water he contracted!
But the water quality test didn't show any problems, which made him look at the pearl mussels that hadn't been salvaged all day long and sighed, what should I do? You must know that pearl mussels also have a lifespan, and if they are not salvaged in time when they expire, it will only be worse.
Just a few days ago, people from the same village gave him an idea to find someone to gamble on the pond! Not to mention those out-of-town businessmen who don't know about him, even if they are locals who know about his situation, as long as the price is cheap enough, there must be people who are willing to gamble!
Even a small income is better than no income!
Just as he was hesitating whether he should accept the advice of his fellow villagers, a van slowly drove up in front of him.
The car door opened, and the first to jump down was the village chief Liu Zhengguo, and then several young people jumped down, all looking curiously at the water not far away, looking like they had never seen anything in the world.
Li Yi: They really haven't seen pearl farming on the spot.
Pearl farming is very distinctive, basically pull a rope across the water at intervals, each rope, there are a lot of net pockets, net pockets are cultivated pearl mussels.
Therefore, the surface of the water with pearls looks like a swimming pool, and the water surface is divided into waterways by parallel ropes, and those with clear water can still see things hanging from the ropes, and the water quality is not clear and you have never seen cultured pearls and you don't know what it is.
