Qin Shiou decided to tell Xiaoli that the deep-sea coral reef has exceeded 1,000 square meters after being stimulated by the energy of the Sea God. The tall part must be more than two meters. This thing is very dense, so a coral bush must have a hundred and eighty tons.
After hearing his words, Billy pinched the beer can and exaggeratedly shouted: "One ton? God, what are you kidding? Who will have a ton of deep-sea red coral? Did he find a new coral bush on the bottom of the sea?"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said ambiguously: "Maybe, I'm just guessing it casually, but my friend will definitely have one or two deep-sea corals of a good size, at least it can be used as a ring."
Billy looked at him suspiciously and said, "You are not the friend you are talking about, are you?"
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "You can think so too. Actually, it's not. He is an immigrant from our country's treasure island to St. Johns. We have a good relationship."
It is not a random place to choose. The origin of red corals is relatively fixed. So far, most of them are produced in the Takashima Strait, the Japanese Strait, the Baltic Strait, and the Mediterranean. Among them, the best aka corals are common in the Takashima Strait.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Billy made a clear expression and said, "Then you'd better know carefully with your friend. His hometown is rich in high-quality red corals. If we can find a complete coral tree now, then we'll be rich."
Red corals grow extremely slowly because they generally live in the deep sea, lack nutrients, and have a harsh living environment. Since the 21st century, there have been very few red corals discovered, and the coral trees found are even rarer, not more than half a meter tall.
Qin Shiou didn't know the specific market of red corals now, but he knew that his undersea coral cluster was absolutely worthless. He didn't know how long it had lived on the undersea. There were many coral trees more than half a meter high!
After that, there was no topic to talk about, Billy continued to popularize Qin Shiou's market knowledge about red coral.
The most precious red coral aka is commonly red, and the concentration of red is different. The common orange, vermilion, regular red, dark red, and black red. Now the mainstream market roughly divides them into these five color levels, the darker the more expensive it is.
"Of course, aka corals also have pink colors. Peach or orange pink, but they are not often encountered. Unless they encounter ones they like, their value is not as valuable as red corals." Billy said after drinking a sip of wine.
Qin Shiou's sea god consciousness is still wandering among the corals under the sea, and this coral also has pink and light peach colors. It is located on the edge, as if after they grow, it will be red.
He raised the question and said, "What are the reasons that affect the color of aka coral? What are the colors?"
Billy shook his head and said, "There are too many puzzles on the red corals. Some people think that colors are the accumulation of age, but they grow too slowly and are too slow to grow in thousands of years, so it is not easy to study."
"There is no relevant guess?" Qin Shiou asked in confusion.
Billy said: "Yes, there are two mainstreams. One is the accumulation of age, and as the coral grows and matures, the color gradually becomes darker; the other is also related to time, but it is believed that the color of corals becomes like this after drawing iron ions from sea water. This speculation comes from the purification of sea water by coral polyps."
"In addition to aka, it also has a relatively high value for touching. Ordinary materials can reach about one thousand Canadian dollars per gram."
Mao Weilong shook his head and said, "This thing is really a toy for the rich, several thousand Canadian dollars a gram. If you buy a red coral bracelet or something, how much does it cost?"
Qin Shiou suddenly remembered the string of red coral beads that had been auctioned and said, "I said, I remember that our beads were auctioned for 2.25 million, right? Then there is a bonus for cultural relics. But I think it must be one kilogram of weight, right?"
Billy waved his hand and said, "No, it's only 652 grams. And you have to know that the string of beads is not good. The material is the lowest-grade sardine coral. It has been soaked in sea water for many years. If it is sold as red coral, the price will be less than much."
Later, Billy introduced the touch red coral. The most common light-colored materials of this type of coral are light-colored materials, such as white, light pink, pink, orange powder, peach powder, etc., and it is rare to see orange-red, peach red, vermilion red.
Qin Shiou felt aroused. He felt that the coral at the bottom of the sea might be aka coral, because the lightest color is also the dividend at the edge, and the overall color is mainly bright red, and occasionally you can see crimson and light black red.
After dinner, Qin Shiou sent the two back to their respective rooms, and then he habitually went to the beach to take a walk. At this time, the sea python had already approached the coast. It quietly poked its head out of the water and placed a piece of red coral fragment the size of a palm on the pier.
This giant python is fourteen or five meters long and has a head the size of a bucket. Snakes cannot express their expressions, but only has a cold and gloomy temperament. Therefore, when this guy shows his head out of the water, it is really terrifying.
Qin Shiou had been in contact with the giant python for a long time, and now he was a little afraid of the ordinary little snake and had no feelings for the giant python.
He went up and patted the head of the giant python. Qin Shiou asked it to return to the deep sea, put away the red coral and went back to sleep.
After the morning exercise, Qin Shiou had some food, so he asked Bird to launch a helicopter to take him to St. Johns. Naturally, he pretended to go to find a friend to get the red coral. In fact, he wandered around the city and inspected the hotel he booked.
He originally wanted to choose a hotel to book a venue, but later he found that this was inappropriate. There were not enough rooms of the same level, so he simply made a ruthless appointment and booked the presidential suites of all four-star and five-star hotels in St. Johns from June 1st to 4th!
June has entered the peak tourist season, and hotel rooms are very expensive. Take Hilton Hotels under the Hilton Hotel Chain Group for example, the price is 4,000 to 5,000 Canadian dollars a night, but the Qin Daguan is not short of money, so order!
Originally, the hotel did not accept that all presidential suites were booked by the same person, so Qin Shiou still showed off the black gold centurion card to be useful. This is the power of privilege. Yuntong Group has mastered the richest resources in the service industry. Since you can enjoy such power, why don’t Qin Shiou use it?
Moreover, you can also get discounts when using a centurion card. Qin Shiou finally paid less than half of the money. The discounts in these hotels are different, from 40% off to 60% off, but it will not be higher.
Back at the fishing ground, Qin Shiou handed over the red coral to Billy.
The sun was bright and bright in the morning. The moment Qin Shiou took out the red coral, the sun shone on it, emitting soft but dazzling luster. If the coral was lifted up, it could emit a faint red light... (To be continued.)
