Chapter 701 Gambling Pond (5)
Li Yi pointed to the pond in front of him and asked Wang Cheng to give him some more. Although he always made a big deal and could not bargain, it did not mean that he was fooled even though he knew it would be cheap.
It costs 3 million to open his mouth, but he can't lose a penny? Even if he says he can't say that he can't even go to the sky!
The two of them tried each other for two rounds, and Li Yi directly spent a price of 2.6 million. It was either high or low. Anyway, he would never lose money!
After the business was negotiated, Wang Chengru began to arrange people to raise cages.
Although the water here is shallow, it is also a boat to get the cage. However, unlike Liu Gen, people do not need to sit on the boat, but stand in the water in leather pants. It is said that this way, you can also check whether there are any escape shells in the mud outside the cage.
Soon, boxes of pearl clams were caught, and the workers on the shore also began to use machetes to break the clams and get the pearls. But Li Yi had no intention of paying attention to these things. He stood on the shore, his eyes were like searchlights, sweeping around in the mud, looking for possible escape shells.
The lifespan of pearl musses varies. The average lifespan of the ones raised in this pond is about 1,300 days. But there are exceptions, just like humans have old birthday stars, some pearl musses may live to more than 2,000 days.
Pearls will grow in the body of pearl mussels. The normal cages have been salvaged for time, so they lose the possibility of continuing to grow. However, some long-lived escape shells may grow larger because they live long enough.
In the overall situation, Li Yi insisted on betting on this pond because he discovered such a escaping bet. He didn't know how long he had lived in this escaping bet and escaped several searches. Anyway, there were as many as 5 pearls in its body that were only over 15 mm, and the largest one was closer to the limit of 20 mm!
In this case, let alone the pond is only 2.6 million, even if the price doubles, Li Yi will take action decisively!
There are fewer and fewer cages in the water, and some escaped shells have been caught one after another. Judging from their size, they basically ran out of these cages. I believe Wang Cheng also knew that Changshou escaped shells might produce the best quality goods, and he was quite careful about this.
But no one would have imagined that there would be such a cunning guy who would hide his body in the mud closest to the shore and escape the search again and again. It is now three times the size of this batch of pearl mussels!
Seeing that all the cages were caught, Li Yi smiled and said:
"I have never been in a place like this. Boss Wang, do you think there are eels and turtles in the water?"
Wang Cheng hesitated for a moment and said:
"We clean the pond every few years. After all, too much mud is not conducive to the growth of pearl mussels, so there are definitely not turtles. But if there are eels, there should be a few, right?"
"Haha, after hearing what you said, I'm even more excited. Come on, give me your leather pants and I'll go down and take a look!"
Wang Cheng had no idea what he wanted to do. After a few words of advice, he decided to go down, so he asked the workers to give him a pair of leather straps that were specially used for this environment. Li Yi quickly put them on his body and slipped along the shore and slowly went into the water.
Li Yi did not have any experience in getting into the water like this before, so he became very familiar with it for a while before he could adapt to the suction force of the silt at the bottom of the water. Then this guy seemed to be looking for eels and started checking along the shore bit by bit.
Wang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, and told the workers to pay attention to Li Yi's safety at any time, and then ran to the side to observe the pearl collection.
Time passed by little by little, and as the pearl mussels on the shore were getting fewer and fewer than the pearl mussels were cut open, the workers began to sort and bag the pearl mussels. Li Yi, who had been walking along the shore for a while, suddenly bent down and groped in the water for a while, and even hugged a pearl mussel the size of a small basin from the bottom of the water!
"Fat Elephant, find a bag to take it away. We won't open this clam here!"
Seeing Li Yi bringing a big worker to Wang Cheng immediately told the news, Wang Cheng was shocked and rushed over, staring at the pearl clam for a long time, his face suddenly became gloomy and gloomy.
"Haha, I didn't expect to find such a big harvest to find! But Mr. Wang, I heard that the size of the pearl mussel may be proportional to the number of pearls in its body, but most of them have nothing to do with the size of the pearls. Is there such a statement?"
Wang Cheng glanced at Li Yi, but couldn't tell whether he really didn't know or pretended, so he said:
"Usually this is the case. It will be very difficult to grow up after the pearl has grown to a certain level. However, because the pearl mussel is huge and swallowing more and more debris, it forms a phenomenon that there are many small pearls but large pearls are not prominent."
He gently knocked on the shell of the pearl clam and smiled:
"Pearl mussels also have longevity, but why it is necessary to pick them for up to 1,100 days? It is because experience tells us that pearls have growth limits. It is unscientific to extend the growth period of pearl mussels in order to bet on one or two large pearls."
Li Yi was stunned and then smiled bitterly. He just vaguely remembered that he had learned some of this in school, and he said it in order to distract Wang Cheng's attention. Unexpectedly, this is the case!
Seeing that Fat Elephant took a plastic bag and was about to put the clams on it, Wang Cheng reached out and stopped him, saying with a smile:
"Boss Li, I will pay 50,000 yuan. How about giving this clam to me?"
100,000? Li Yi yelled twice in his heart. The pearl close to 20 mm in this clam is worth 10 million. If you want to take it away if you want to?
"Haha, I'm sorry, Boss Wang, I'm going to keep this pearl mussel myself, so I'm sorry."
"100,000!"
"Haha, do you think I'm a person who lacks such a little money?"
Li Yi felt annoyed when he saw him, but he had to deal with it carefully. Although he had just said the words of the gambling pond and escaped, there was no explicit regulation after all. It would be difficult for him to deal with it if he really cheated on others. Especially this is still in other people's territory, they are not familiar with the place. If they really make a fuss, they will probably not be able to escape even if they can fight.
"Oh? Look at this, Boss Li is not going to drive here?"
"Haha, I have a sister who doesn't have time to come this time, but she told me to bring her a few pearl mussels back and let her gamble, so..."
The two were chatting here. The fat elephant had already put the pearl clams and the picked pearls in the hired van and sat in the passenger seat.
"Brother Yi, it's all over here. Let's rush the next house?"
Hongchen pretended to be careless and came up to Li Yi, but the corner of his eyes was always looking at him. Once the fight started later, how should he take action to put down the other party in the shortest time!
"Then congratulations to Boss Li. I hope you can get such a good harvest in the pond!"
Wang Cheng looked around and finally sighed secretly, shook hands and said goodbye to Li Yi. If the big clam had just been opened and the best appeared inside, he would not have let them go so easily, but now...
Although Li Yiren just mentioned the price, he performed more calmly than many big bosses when transferring money, as if he didn't care about the 2.6 million yuan at all. There is no need for such a person to mess with him for an unknown result.
"Brother Yi, that guy must have wanted to cause trouble for us for a moment."
In the car, Fat Xiang said with a calm face. He just passed by Wang Cheng and saw his expression clearly, so he got on the car and controlled the van first.
"Haha, as long as the clam is not opened on the spot, he probably won't take this risk. Let's go, send this thing back first, otherwise it would be really unsafe to pull it around!"
"Oh? So, there should be something good in this clam?"
Before Li Yi could reply, he heard the guide laughing:
"Didn't you hear that person's explanation just now? This kind of big clam is very gambled, and it is true that it may produce big pearls, but there are also a lot of small pearls. If I were you, I would have made a price with that boss just now and I would sell it if I could get 200,000 yuan!"
"Haha, do you think we will care about the 200,000?"
Hongchen smiled and patted the guide's shoulder. The guide scratched his scalp. He threw it out without blinking. He really didn't care about the 200,000. If he had such a rich man, he would have chosen to bet on his own.
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Li Yi opened the big clam, then took out the largest round bead and measured the size, and the diameter reached an astonishing 20.1 mm. Haha, it seems that he really made a profit this time!
He handed all the golden pearls he bought this time to Fat Elephant, and called Zheng Shusen and asked him to come back to deal with the pearls. Li Yi took Hongchen and rushed to the next place of the gambling pond.
After staying in Zhuji for a total of 5 days, Li Yi finally got a white big bead necklace with rose red. At the same time, the number of large pearls he harvested over 14 mm was enough to make 12 pearl necklaces, and the colors included yellow, gold, white, pink and other colors, which could be called a full return.
Except for the yellowish necklace at the beginning, Li Yi only processed an extra rose pink necklace, while the others were only polished. He planned to customize the necklace according to the customer's requirements after returning to Yanjing.
