Qin Shiou decided to say that the deep-sea coral reef has been stimulated by the energy of the sea god, and it has exceeded 1,000 square meters, and the tall part must be more than two meters, this thing is very dense, so a coral bush, no matter what, there must be a hundred and eighty tons.

Listening to his words, Billy flattened the beer can and exclaimed, "A ton? God, what are you kidding? Who would have a ton of deep-sea red coral? Did he discover a new coral bush at the bottom of the sea? ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said ambiguously: "Maybe, in fact, I just guessed casually, but my friend will definitely have one or two pieces of deep-sea coral in his hand, which can at least be used as a ring." ”

Billy looked at him suspiciously and said, "You can't be the friend you are talking about, right?" ”

Qin Shiou smiled: "You can also think so, in fact it is not, he is an immigrant who came to St. John's from our national treasure island, and we have a good relationship." ”

Red coral is produced in a relatively fixed area, and most of them are produced in the Treasure Island Strait, the Japan Strait, the Baltic Strait, and the Mediterranean Sea, among which the best AKA corals are found in the Treasure Island Strait.

Sure enough, hearing him say this, Billy made a look of surprise and said, "Then you'd better find out more carefully with your friend, his hometown is rich in high-quality red coral, and if we can find a complete coral tree now, then we will be rich." ”

Red coral grows extremely slowly, because it generally lives in the deep sea, lacks nutrients, and lives in a harsh environment, and very few red corals have been found since the 21st century. And the coral trees found are even rarer, not more than half a meter high.

Qin Shiou didn't know the specific market of red coral, but he knew that his submarine coral bush was absolutely valuable. I don't know how long it has lived on the bottom of the sea, but there are many coral trees that are more than half a meter high!

After that, there was nothing to talk about, so Billy continued to give Qin Shiou popular science about the red coral market.

The most precious red coral AKA is commonly red, in which the concentration of red is different, common orange red, vermilion, positive red, deep red, black red, and now the mainstream market is roughly divided into these five color grades. The deeper, the more expensive.

"Of course, AKA corals can also be pink, peach or orange-pink. However, it is not often encountered, and unless you encounter something you particularly like, it is not as valuable as red coral. Billy said, taking a sip of his wine.

Qin Shiou's Poseidon consciousness was still swimming among the coral bushes on the bottom of the sea, and there were also pink and pale peach colors in this coral. The location is on the edge. It's like when they're grown, it's red.

He asked the question, "What is the reason for the color of AKA corals?" What's going on with these colors? ”

Billy shook his head and said, "There are too many puzzles on red coral, and some people think that color is the accumulation of age, but they grow too slowly, too slowly, and they don't grow much for thousands of years, so it's not easy to study." ”

"No speculation?" Qin Shiou asked suspiciously.

Billy said, "Yes. There are two mainstreams, one is the accumulation of years. As the coral grows and matures, it slowly darkens in color; The other is also related to time, but it is believed that the color of the coral is caused by the absorption of iron ions from the seawater, which is due to the purification of the seawater by the polyps. ”

"In addition to AKA, the value of MOMO is also relatively high, and ordinary materials can reach about 1,000 Canadian dollars per gram."

Mao Weilong shook his head and said: "This thing is really a rich man's plaything, a gram of thousands of Canadian dollars, if you buy a red coral bracelet or something, how much does it cost?" ”

Qin Shiou suddenly remembered the string of red coral pearls that had been auctioned, and said, "I said, I remember that our string of pearls was auctioned for 2.25 million, didn't it?" That's still a cultural relic status bonus, but I think it has to weigh a kilogram of its own, right? ”

Billy waved his hand and said: "No, no, the weight is only 652 grams, and you must know that the quality of the string of pearls is not good, the material is originally the lowest grade of sardine coral, and after many years of immersion in seawater, if it is only sold as red coral, the price is not high." ”

Later, Billy introduced MOMO red coral, which is most commonly made of light-colored materials, such as white, light pink, pink, orange pink, peach pink, etc., and then it is rare to see orange, pink, vermilion, and red.

Qin Shiou's heart moved, he felt that the coral on the bottom of the sea might be AKA coral, because the lightest color in it was also the dividend on the edge, and the whole was mainly red, and occasionally dark red and light black red could be seen.

After eating, Qin Shiou sent the two back to their respective rooms, and then he habitually went to the beach for a walk, at this time the sea python was already close to the shore, it quietly poked its head out of the water, and put a palm-sized piece of red coral fragment on the dock.

This python is fourteen or fifteen meters long, its head must be the size of a bucket, and the snake can't make an expression, only a cold and gloomy temperament, so when this guy peeks out of the water, it is really terrifying.

Qin Shiou has been in contact with the giant python for a long time, and he is now a little jealous of the ordinary little snake, and he has no feelings for the giant python.

went up and patted the python's head, Qin Shiou asked it to return to the deep sea, put away the red coral and went back to sleep.

After exercising in the morning, Qin Shiou hastily ate some food, and asked Bird to start a helicopter to take him to St. John's, naturally pretending to go to a friend to get red coral, but in fact he walked around the city and inspected the hotel he had booked.

He originally wanted to choose a hotel to charter, but later found that this was not suitable, and the number of rooms of the same grade was not enough, so he simply came to a ruthless and booked the presidential suite of all four- and five-star hotels in St. John's on June 1st to 4th!

June has entered the tourist season, the price of hotel rooms is very expensive, take the Hilton hotel under the Hilton hotel chain group, the price is 4,000 to 5,000 Canadian dollars a night, but Qin Daguan is not bad for money, book!

Originally, the hotel did not accept that all the presidential suites were booked by the same person, Qin Shiou still showed the black gold centurion card to be useful, this is the power of privilege, Yuntong Group has the most abundant resources in the service industry, since you can enjoy such power, why don't Qin Shiou use it?

Moreover, the use of centurion cards can also be discounted, Qin Shiou only paid less than half of the money in the end, these hotels have different discounts, from four to six discounts, but not higher.

Back at the fishing grounds, Qin Shiou handed over the red coral to Billy.

The morning sun was shining brightly, and the moment Qin Shiou took out the red coral, the sun shone on it, exuding a soft but dazzling luster, and if the coral was lifted, it could emit a faint red light...... (To be continued......)
