Will the world become apocalyptic? But I am a shark
Chapter 17 Obtaining the Pearl
The supplier of the jewelry store that Grandpa Qu contacted was named Chen Luo. His family used to be a fisherman, because Grandpa Chen caught a precious conch when he was fishing in middle age and sold it for 100,000 yuan. He was given this name when he was born. You know, one hundred thousand yuan forty years ago was worth more than four million yuan today, and the Chen family also relied on this money to successfully make a fortune.
By Chen Luo's generation, the Chen family has become a well-known saltwater pearl farmer. Relying on many years of connections, Chen Luo also does some other organic gemstone business, but mainly pearls and corals.
After all, Chen Luo's family runs a breeding farm, and after so many years of working there, he has some high-end goods. Now that he wants to sell them, he actually attracts many collectors, but he only accepts package purchases, and most people are persuaded by this request. Retreat, after all, not everyone has the courage to collect a batch of useless beads for some high-end goods.
There are also people who want to take over this batch of goods and sell the good ones separately, but most of these people are engaged in low-end and mid-range pearl business, and their cash flow is not large, so it is difficult to eat them all at once.
Chen Luo had already let out the news before the rain broke out, but the backlog was so high that now, when Grandpa Qu came to see him, Chen Luo was already considering whether to lower the price or sell the high-end goods separately.
Grandpa Qu's visit actually solved Chen Luo's urgent need. Something happened to his family and he needed a large amount of money. Both the buyer and the seller wanted to conclude a deal as soon as possible, so business negotiations were naturally fast.
Grandpa Qu’s collection of goods went smoothly.
After receiving Grandpa Qu's deposit, Chen Luo quickly asked his employees to take out the goods and send them to City J. The fastest way was Shunfei air freight.
City N is not far from City J. The next day, the goods arrived in City J, and Chen Luo also rushed to City J to prepare for the handover.
Grandpa Qu knew that the pearls had arrived, so he took Qu Glaze to pick up the goods. Before going out, he specially asked Qu Glaze to highlight his hair. This was not to follow the fashion, but the effect of shark beads was too powerful.
When Grandpa Qu woke up yesterday, he felt like he was a child again. Most of his hair, which was originally white, had returned to the black luster of his youth. So much so that now he had to dye his hair white again when he went out, otherwise it would definitely arouse a lot of inquiries.
*
Chen Luo confirmed that the goods were not damaged and felt relieved. This was his last hope and nothing could happen.
"Boss Chen is here really early." Grandpa Qu said in greeting.
"After working for so many years, I'm used to checking things first. I can't let the customer suffer." Chen Luo smiled and shook hands with Grandpa Qu. "Will you always inspect the goods again?"
As a shark, Qu Mo is the most sensitive to these things that contain watery aura. If there are any fakes, they will definitely not be hidden from her senses, so Grandpa Qu did not bring the master in the shop, but only her.
In Qu Glaze's perception, the watery aura of the goods brought by Chen Luo was far inferior to the Tridacna bead he absorbed. This was natural. It took the giant Tridacna a hundred years to condense this one. The system certification was extraordinary. At least the goods in front of me are all natural pearls, not synthetic beads.
However, in order to ensure stability, it is definitely best to go through systematic testing.
"System, sign in."
[Today’s task 1: Chenluo warehouse sign-in completed - prize: a detector]
Qu Mo felt the backpack behind him sink slightly. He untied the backpack and took out a small silver-white machine, similar to a handheld garment steamer, but with a screen. Qu Glaze presses the switch and the detector automatically scans.
[Test result: Medium to upper energy: 41 points]
For those with the ability to transform into the sea, the appearance, size, and color of the pearl are not important. It only depends on the amount of energy. 1-10 points are the lowest quality, 11-50 points are mid-level quality, and 50-100 points are high-level quality.
There was some analysis data later. Qu Chai didn't have time to read more, so he nodded to Grandpa Qu.
Grandpa Qu saw that there was no problem and felt relieved.
"System, this is also a natural pearl coral. Why is it only of mid-to-high quality?" Qu Glaze had some guesses, but still wanted to confirm.
[The culture environment of this batch of pearls is average, and the quality of the pearls produced can only reach medium. The host should be lucky. According to the information found in the system, many merchants have very poor culture environments. The value of such pearls is also very low. It is recommended that the host use them as much as possible. Items of medium and above quality are used to assist training. 】
The system's answer confirmed Qu Glaze's guess, and also reminded her that if there is a chance to collect pearls in the future, it is better to test them. If you buy pearls of poor quality, you will suffer a big loss.
Chen Luo was very curious about the machine on Qu Glaze's hand. As far as he knew, there was no machine in the world that could penetrate nacre to detect the authenticity of pearls. But after thinking about it, he would not do this business in the future. Follow This doesn't make much sense, so I won't say more, maybe it's someone else's secret.
He took a half-man-high box from the bodyguard behind him. This was the fundamental reason why he made the trip himself.
"Boss Qu, these are all high-end goods, including Australian white, South Sea gold pearls, Tahitian and ordinary pearls. The minimum diameter is 20mm. There are also some Kong Ke pearls and Merlot pearls. Although they are not as good as pearls, they are They have also reached the collection level, you can check them out.”
Chen Luo reluctantly handed the box to Qu Glaze. Inside was the collection of two generations of his family for decades. Originally, he thought he would take these treasures to the grave, but now he had to change hands, and he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. .
Qu Glaze opened the box and found that each bead was packed in a separate velvet box with a transparent top cover and a label.
Pick up the detector and scan, [Detection result: Superior energy: 78 points]
In fact, if you look closely, you will find that the overall test results are excellent mainly because there are only about 40 seashell beads in total.
Kongke beads, also known as conch beads, do not have the same gorgeous nacre as pearls, but their smooth appearance has flame-shaped patterns that may be fine, soft or passionate. In addition, they cannot be cultivated artificially, so the output is extremely low, only about With a production of 2000-3000 pieces, less than 20% can meet the collection standards.
Merlot beads are produced from large ocean snails, and the output is also very rare. There are only two or three in the box.
Seeing the test results of today's batch of goods, Qu Glaze can basically confirm that the natural marine products recognized by the system are actually things without excessive artificial intervention. For example, Chen Luo's ordinary pearls are actually artificially cultured, but only the pearl core has been artificially cultivated.
What affects the quality, apart from the amount of manual intervention, is the difficulty of formation. Beads like conch beads and Melo beads that cannot be intervened by human intervention and are formed purely by luck have the highest value and are all top quality.
Thinking of the information she got at the beginning, Qu Mo realized that this kind of beads should be needed for Hai Xing level cultivation. Now she is only a Hai Xing level beginner, and ordinary pearls are enough. These high-quality beads will be used when she reaches Hai Xing level. Use it to maximize its value.
Realizing that high-quality beads were hard to come by, Qu Glaze was a little confused. His own cultivation had a great demand for these beads. Even the old pearl farmer Chen Luo had been doing this for decades didn't have much in stock. So where would he go in the future? Finding it is a problem. Is it really possible to rely on luck to buy it for zero yuan in the future?
"Sister~" A long-lost voice sounded.
Qu Mo was startled and glanced around subconsciously. Seeing that no one around him had any reaction, he felt relieved.
After he came back, Qu Mo found a red rope and hung the giant clam on his chest. His family just thought it was some kind of handicraft and didn't ask any questions.
She touched the Tridacna pendant and said, "Sister~" Qu Chai found that he could actually understand what she meant.
"You mean you can tame them to produce beads?" Qu Glaze was very surprised.
If giant clams can tame sea clams and seashells to produce pearls, then we won’t have to worry about pearls in the future. I’m really overjoyed!
