Seeing the village chief coming, Liu Gen was stunned and hurriedly greeted him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Don't rush to greet me just yet......"

Liu Zhengguo's chin raised forward,

"These are all trying to gamble on the pond, I brought them to you, it's up to you whether you can win it or not!"

Liu Gen gratefully shook Liu Zhengguo's hand and shook it vigorously, their village was not so rich before, but since the change of this village head, they can bring everyone together and work hard to make a move, their village has jumped from a moderately wealthy village to a top village and town in the entire Zhuji, and this time he brought guests from the gambling pond.

"Okay, don't say anything, let's get this done in a down-to-earth manner!"

Liu Zhengguo glanced at the backs of Li Yi and the others, blinked his eyes, and whispered:

"These people are from Yanjing, no matter how many I don't know, people directly found the village and asked if there were any pearls to gamble, as soon as I heard it, I led you here directly." By the way, the one who started was called Li Yi. ”

Liu Gen nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, walked to Li Yi's side with a smile on his face, and asked respectfully:

"Boss Li, I heard the village chief say that you want to gamble on the pond?"

Li Yi is looking at the surface of the water where the pearl mussels are farmed, a small narrow lake covering an area of nearly 20 acres, the water is a little muddy, but the overall appearance is quite clean. On the surface of the lake, there are many long ropes with buoyancy balls, and near the shore, you can clearly see that there is a rope hanging under each buoyancy ball, and then you can't see it clearly.

However, under his perspective, not to mention the close, even the underwater situation in the distance could be seen clearly, and he saw that under those ropes was a small cage, and inside the cage was their target this time, the pearl mussel.

"Boss Liu, are these all raised by you?"

After a few simple greetings, Li Yi pointed to the water and asked.

"How can it, there are 4 here, we distinguish them by the color of the rope, and this cyan rope is what I raised."

Li Yi nodded and asked:

"Boss Liu, we came here this time to gamble on the pond, but it's just ......"

4 families have 20 acres of water surface, even if the average score is 5 acres each, that is, more than 3,000 square meters. According to the layout he saw, it was basically a cage of one square meter, and there were about 15 pearl mussels in each cage, that is, more than 50,000 pearl mussels, and he couldn't do so much!

"Oh, that's right, this gambling pond is just a way of saying, of course a smaller pond is sold for a piece, but such a large water surface can't be pressed by that, otherwise the investment will be too big."

Liu Gen looked at Li Yi's face as he spoke.

"We have a big water like this here, and the gambling pond generally comes by rope, five ropes, ten ropes."

"Oh......"

Li Yi nodded and glanced at the water, this small lake is long and narrow, and the narrow side is almost more than 40 meters away, and the rope runs across this narrow edge. In this way, there are about 600 pearl mussels on one rope, and more than 3,000 on five ropes, which is not too much.

"That'...... How do you calculate the price here? ”

Liu Gen smiled and said:

"Generally, it is calculated according to the number and variety of pearl mussels. The triangular nucleus mussels I raise here are all 1,000 days before they mature, so the pearls bred are also relatively large, a pearl mussel is about 2,000 yuan, and the price of such a rope should be 1.2 million. ”

"That's ......"

Li Yi frowned, no wonder the gambling pond costs a lot of money, these 5 ropes are 6 million, and ordinary people really can't afford to play.

Liu Zhengguo looked at Li Yi's expression and explained:

"Boss Li, not every pearl mussel is so expensive. The pearl mussels we raise here are generally divided into several varieties, there are two summers and one winter, there are three summers and two winters, and there are also those that can be harvested in the same year, and the price of each is different. The longer the time, the larger and of course the more expensive the pearl becomes. ”

"So Boss Liu has raised all the food here for three summers and two winters?"

"Well, this is the longest cultivated mussel species on the market, and pearls over 14 mm are generally only found in this kind of pearl mussels."

"Oh, I understand when I say this, I said how can there be two or three hundred pearl mussels sold in the market...... By the way, Boss Liu, how can we know the quality of your pearl mussels? Sampling? ”

"Yes, it's usually a 5 percent sample, and the location can be specified by you. However, if you don't gamble in the end, these samples will also cost money to buy. ”

Li Yi smiled, five ropes are 3,000 mussels, and five percent is 150 pearl mussels, that is, 10 cages. In addition, the location can be selected, and it should be able to see the approximate quality of the pearl on the entire water surface, which is still more reasonable.

"Boss Liu, bet at least 5 at a time, right? So, can I pick a rope? For example, I fancy this rope, but I don't like it next to it, and then I fancy another ...... after a few laps."

Liu Gen pondered for a moment and said:

"Originally, I wasn't allowed to pick, but ...... Forget it, you can pick if you want! ”

In fact, on the same water surface, the quality of the pearl mussels on each rope is almost the same, and it is not allowed to jump and pick, mainly because it is more convenient for farmers to manage themselves. But since it is gambling, there are always all kinds of strange taboos, especially for him, a pearl mussel on a rope is worth millions, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable not to let it be picked.

"Okay, then I see. By the way, Boss Liu, you should still be able to discount this price, right? ”

"Yes, but not much."

Li Yi smiled, whether it can be discounted, how much it can be discounted, it doesn't matter now, but when the sample is taken, you should know.

Li Yi frowned and squinted his eyes to look at the water. Just now he just looked at the overall situation, and didn't deliberately pay attention to the pearls in the pearl mussels, this time since he was going to gamble, of course, he had to see it clearly.

Although the area of this lake is tens of thousands of square meters, the water is not very deep, and the deepest depth is only a little more than one meter. Probably because of the clean-up, the depth of the whole lake is relatively even, even close to the shore, and it is almost one meter deep.

All the cages containing pearl mussels are half-hung in the water at a depth of more than 50 centimeters, and the overall appearance is like a strange forest, dense and a little worrying.

Li Yi first swept a rough scan, then selected a rope, and then started from the shore, looking at the cages one by one.

In the cage closest to the shore, there are a total of 15 pearl mussels, some of which are resting with their shells closed, some of which are half-open and swallowing the water, and some of which are wide open so that he can see the pearls in the pearl sac at a glance, and one of them, relying on the thrust of the water, is moving slowly.

After looking at it for a while, he slowly shook his head. Although the number and size of the pearls in each mussel are okay, even with the influence of the lake and the pearl sac, he can see that the color of these pearls does not seem to be very good, not to mention the superb pink he wants, and even ordinary white pearls are not comparable.

However, even if the color is not very good, it does not mean that you can't make money, as long as it is big enough and round enough, there are still many people who are willing to buy. Because everyone's skin tone is different, the color of the pearls that need to be matched is naturally different.

One, two, three......

Li Yi looked down the rope slowly, the speed became faster and faster, and after a while, he saw the fifth cage, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw the first positive bead of more than 14 millimeters!

Seeing Li Yi staring at the water and not speaking, Liu Gen was a little apprehensive, quietly pulled Zheng Shusen's sleeve, and asked in a low voice:

"Boss Zheng, look ......"

Zheng Shusen didn't know what Li Yi was looking at, but seeing that he seemed to be quite focused, he sighed, wait a minute, this kid always has amazing behavior, maybe that's how he can see it.

At this time, Li Yi had already seen the 10th cage, and in these cages, he saw a total of 7 beads of more than 14 mm, the largest of which was close to 16 mm in diameter!

It's just that, according to this ratio, a rope can only be mined at most a dozen 14 mm or more round beads, barely able to wear a pearl necklace worth millions, even if you add other small pearls, this profit margin is too low, and if you are unlucky, you may lose money.

Of course, there is also a possibility that these pearl mussels will produce one or two large pearls of about 18 mm, in that case, it will definitely be earned, but the probability is too low.

After looking at the 11th cage, Li Yi gave up the rope, and then quickly browsed several nearby ropes, pointed to the lake and said:

"The 5th and 10th of this rope, the 7th and 9th of that rope, and the ...... of this one"

He pointed out 10 cages in one breath, more than half of which were of poor quality of pearls that he had just seen.

Moreover, if you want to make more money, lowering the purchase price is only one aspect, the most important thing is to look at the quality of the pearl.

And if you want to control the quality of pearls, of course, let him read them one by one, but it takes a lot of time. So he planned to send Liu Gen out to fish for pearl mussels first, and then look at the pearls slowly, otherwise, if he stared at the water for such a long time without speaking, others would be suspicious.

"Okay, no problem!"

Liu Gen saw that Li Yi was about to see the sample, so he happily agreed, ran to the water's edge and jumped on a small wooden boat, untied the cable and prepared to go in to fish for the cage.

"Wait, I'll check it out too."

Zheng Shusen was bored standing and saw Liu Gen going into the water, so he hurriedly shouted and followed, Li Yi turned his head to look at them, and then stared at a cage.

Suddenly, I saw his eyebrows raised, and his eyes slowly narrowed...... (To be continued.) )
