"Young man, that snail is quite beautiful, how about selling it to me for two hundred yuan?" While Su Jing was selling fish, some tourists on the beach also came to join in the fun, because those stone fish were too eye-catching, but there was a middle-aged man , but fell in love with the snail Su Jing picked up.
"Not for sale." Su Jing said.
"One thousand." The middle-aged man thought for a while and then said.
"Not for sale." Su Jing shook her head.
"Three thousand." The middle-aged man suddenly tripled the number, which made Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and some of the surrounding villagers who were watching the excitement feel calmer. This inconspicuous snail that they had ignored was actually worth three thousand? It’s actually more expensive than lobster
Unexpectedly, Su Jing still said calmly: "I won't sell it."
Su Liang and Su Xiaolin both secretly pushed Su Jing, and they were all anxious for Su Jing. It was just a snail, but it cost three thousand yuan and it still didn't sell
"If you don't sell a snail for 3,000 yuan, how much more do you want to sell? I want to buy it for my wife. She likes strange and beautiful things like this, otherwise she wouldn't have spent 3,000 yuan." Middle-aged man Some people were dissatisfied, feeling that Su Jing was asking for a lot of money.
"What do you want for three thousand yuan?" A woman who still looks charming in a one-piece swimsuit came up to her.
"Honey, do you think this snail is very beautiful? Do you like it?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"She's quite beautiful, but three thousand yuan is too expensive. Don't spend money randomly." The middle-aged woman smiled. It was obvious that her husband was willing to buy her a gift. She was still happy, but she didn't want to waste money. She said, "Young man, do you want to sell it for 1,000 yuan? Don't think that we can take advantage of it if we have money. What else is a snail worth? If we miss our village, we will no longer have this temple."
"Not for sale." Su Jing still shook her head.
"Forget it, you can keep it to get moldy." The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and pulled the middle-aged man away.
"Ah Jing, what kind of snail is this? Is it so valuable? You can't sell it for even three thousand yuan?" Su Liang asked. Su Xiaolin, Su Hu and others also came closer to take a look.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a nautilus." Su Jing said. He didn't recognize this kind of snail at first, but then he checked Baidu and found out that the entire spiral shell of the nautilus was as smooth as a circle. It is disk-shaped and resembles a parrot's beak, hence the name "Nautilus".
Nautilus is an ancient mollusk with a life history of hundreds of millions of years, but its appearance and habits have changed very little. It is known as a "living fossil" and is of high value in studying animal evolution. There are more than 30 species of their ancestors, but they were wiped out and extinct along with the dinosaurs in the great catastrophe 65 million years ago. The few remaining living nautilus descendants inhabit the waters of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, leaving only "Ponzi's Nautilus", "Nautilus Deepum", "Big-headed Nautilus" and two less certain species.
Today, nautiluses are as rare as giant pandas. How could Su Jing sell them for a few thousand yuan? In fact, he was struggling in his mind. He couldn't just sell it for any amount of money. The nautilus was a nationally protected animal, and it would be terrible if someone reported it.
"What kind of snail is Nautilus?" Su Liang asked strangely.
"I'll tell you later." Su Jing carried the nautilus in the bucket to Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant. Su Liang and Su Xiaolin followed curiously. They knew Su Jing best and knew that Su Jing never lost money. Business. When they arrived at Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant, Su Jing put the nautilus into a fish tank to raise. Su Zhenhong and others learned that Su Jing had made tens of thousands more in the blink of an eye. They couldn't help but be happy for Su Jing, thinking that this kid was spending money lavishly. Yes, but the ability to make money is really not something that can be guaranteed.
"Ah Jing, what kind of snail is this? Can it be used as a pet?" Zhao Mengxiang asked when she saw Su Jing put the snail into a fish tank and thought it was very beautiful.
"I have never seen this kind of snail before." Su Zhenhong said in surprise.
"Someone just offered three thousand, but Ah Jing didn't sell it." Su Liang said with a smile.
"Three thousand?" Su Zhenhong, Liu Shu, and Zhao Mengxiang were all stunned. They didn't expect that this snail could be sold for three thousand. Su Zhenhong and Liu Shu thought whether Su Jing was too greedy, but Zhao Mengxiang suddenly remembered the red sandalwood from more than ten days ago. Regarding the wood matter, I thought that Su Jing must have a reason for not selling it.
Su Jing took a photo of the Nautilus and posted it on the forum of Zhongyun Aquarium. He had no intention of being secretive. The Nautilus must either not be sold, or it could be sold openly and legally, or it could be sold for tens of thousands. It's not worth hundreds of thousands, and it will lead to breaking the law. Does Su Jing need to break the law to make money now
What Su Jing didn't expect was that not long after she posted it, a call came in, and the caller ID was Zhongyun Aquarium. Su Jing felt happy and answered the phone: "Hello, hello."
An old and excited voice came from the phone: "Hello, I am Ye Bo, a paleontologist. I am currently doing research at Zhongyun Aquarium. Is the post about the nautilus on the forum made by you?"
Su Jing said: "That's right."
The voice on the other end of the phone seemed even more excited: "The Nautilus is still with you, right? Where are you now? I'll go to your place right away. And be sure not to sell or damage the Nautilus. Take good care of it..."
The old man's voice was simply more powerful than Tang Seng's spell, which made Su Jing feel dizzy.
Finally, Su Jing told him the address. Less than an hour later, a white-haired old man and a middle-aged man quickly came to Zhenhong Seafood Restaurant. Although the old man was old, his eyes were very bright. I saw the nautilus in the fish tank and walked up quickly.
"It's really a nautilus. I didn't expect that there are nautiluses in this sea area, and they are so big." Ye Bo's eyes were bright, and he stared at the nautilus as if no one else was watching, looking left and right. Suddenly his pupils suddenly shrank, and a ray of light burst out. He said excitedly, "This nautilus must be sent to the aquarium immediately. Xiao Ming, come and help."
"Teacher, I haven't obtained my consent yet." The middle-aged man was speechless for a while. Teacher is good at everything, but once he gets excited, he forgets all about human relations and sophistication.
"Oh, who caught this nautilus?" Ye Bo asked.
"Me." Su Jing raised her hand.
"It's okay to send this nautilus to the aquarium. This is a contribution to scientific research." Ye Bo said.
"It's not impossible to send it to the aquarium, as long as you can afford the price." Su Jing said with a smile. He had learned that according to the "Aquatic Wildlife Resources Protection Law", the nautilus is not absolutely forbidden to be sold, as long as it is approved by the Ministry of Agriculture. , and if each bird pays a resource protection fee of 30,000 yuan to the state, it can still be sold legally. If you sell it to a private person, it may not be easy to get approval from the Ministry of Agriculture, but if you sell it to an aquarium, it is not easy. The aquarium can definitely handle all the procedures easily.
"How much do you want to sell for?" Ye Bo looked at Su Jing with a half-smile.
"One hundred and fifty thousand." Su Jing said, which made Su Zhenhong, Su Liang, Su Xiaolin and others suddenly open their mouths. This was too high a price, but what they didn't expect was yet to come.
"Deal, I'll transfer the money to you right away." Ye Bo answered very simply, with almost no pause.
"Okay." According to Su Jing's estimation, the price of 150,000 was much higher. I originally thought that Ye Bo might bargain, but seeing Ye Bo being so straightforward, I suddenly felt that I had lost money, but said If you go out, it's like water thrown out, and it's hard to get it back.
"The resource protection fee of 30,000 yuan..." Su Jing asked.
"You are not selling Nautilus. The Zhongyun Aquarium is owned by the state. Handing it over to the aquarium is equivalent to handing it over to the state. I am not buying it, I am just giving you a subsidy." Ye Bo said seriously, and he happily gave Su Jing transferred 150,000 yuan.
"..." Su Jing was stunned for a while, and it turned out that this could still be done. In this way, resource protection fees and taxes were waived.
"Can you give me this small fish tank?" Ye Bo asked.
"Of course." Su Jing nodded. After earning 150,000 yuan, it was appropriate to give him a fish tank.
"Xiao Ming, come and help, take this nautilus to the aquarium as soon as possible. It is pregnant and will give birth soon." Ye Bo said, and he and the middle-aged man moved the nautilus and the fish tank away.
"..." Listening to Ye Bo's words, Su Jing finally realized. No wonder Ye Bo didn't blink his eyes for 150,000 yuan. It turned out that the nautilus was pregnant. Su Jing realized that she might have really lost money, but then she thought about it. I feel relieved again. After all, the nautilus only lays a few to dozens of eggs, and the hatching success rate is not necessarily high. It is not easy for people to do scientific research. At most, it can be regarded as making some contribution to scientific research. Anyway, it only costs 150,000. Worth it.
