But Xiang Yang had never decided what to give Li Chao.
When Xiang Yang fished out the conch, he immediately had a clear idea in his mind: what gift could be better than this conch for Li Chao
Although after seeing the truth about Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng arguing over the conch, Xiang Yang vaguely realized that he seemed to have misjudged the price of the conch.
But since he had already made the decision, he never thought of going back on his word.
Li Chao lent money to Xiang Yang to negotiate his friendship with Xiang Yang. Li Chao's friendship was worth at least seven million.
If Xiang Yang cares about the value of a gift when giving it, then how much is his friendship worth
He is not a pure businessman and does not want to link everything to money.
Li Chao played with the conch for a while, and suddenly he chuckled, "Okay, I'll accept this gift, but when it comes to gifts, it's important to reciprocate. I'll give you something in return later."
Xiang Yang was about to refuse immediately.
At this time, Zhang Qicheng said, "Don't be so shy, the two of you. I brought back something good from Liaogang. Do you want to see it?"
Li Chao put the conch close to his body, then nodded and said, "If you think it's a good thing, take it out and let me see it."
Xiang Yang also looked at it with curiosity.
Zhang Qicheng made a phone call.
A few minutes later, a tall young woman knocked on the office door and said, "Mr. Zhang, here's what you wanted." In one hand, she was holding a purple glass bottle with a large mouth, which contained some gray liquid.
"Bring it in." Zhang Qicheng said.
The woman placed two glass bottles on the coffee table for Zhang Qicheng.
Xiang Yang picked up one of the glass bottles and took a look at it, and said in surprise: "Plum Blossom Sea Cucumber."
The plum blossom sea cucumber is a type of sea cucumber and is also the largest of all sea cucumbers. It is commonly found in tropical and subtropical oceans.
"How is it? It's bigger than those sea cucumbers you caught, right?" Zhang Qicheng said proudly.
The sea cucumber has survived on Earth for almost 600 million years. It has been active on this planet since the Precambrian period. Like the vampire squid, it is also a very ancient fossil and one of the earliest existing biological species.
The survival history of the plum blossom sea cucumber is astonishing. In the deep blue ocean world, it has endured the eternal loneliness and survived several mass extinctions in the long and boundless evolution of the universe.
The reason why the plum blossom sea cucumber can survive from ancient times to today is that it has overcome numerous disasters in nature.
After many disasters, the plum sea cucumber evolved from a single-celled organism into a real living thing.
Having witnessed the rise and fall of a planet several times, the sea cucumber has a vitality far superior to any species in nature, including dinosaurs, insects, and even viruses.
Xiang Yang nodded, "Indeed." Each of these plum blossom sea cucumbers is as big as a cucumber, which is indeed not comparable to ordinary sea cucumbers.
In fact, the other name of the plum blossom sea cucumber is sea cucumber. Their average body length is ten to twenty centimeters, and the large ones can reach thirty centimeters. The largest plum blossom sea cucumber recorded in the world is more than half a meter long.
"Huh?" Xiang Yang suddenly rubbed his eyes, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Li Chao was also surprised and asked, "Are these plum blossom sea cucumbers alive?"
Like ordinary sea cucumbers, the plum blossom sea cucumber will dissolve itself into a pool of water when the temperature rises, and disappear completely without a trace.
It is really incredible that the plum blossom sea cucumber is still alive after being fished out from the bottom of the sea.
Xiang Yang looked very carefully and was very sure that the plum blossom sea cucumber in the purple glass bottle was still alive.
The reason was that the guy's muscles inside the bottle kept stretching and contracting, allowing himself to move slowly at the bottom of the bottle.
Although this sea cucumber's crawling speed is quite slow, perhaps less than one centimeter in a minute, it is definitely moving.
Zhang Qicheng nodded. "The good thing I want to talk about is not the plum blossom sea cucumber, but the gray water. This is a kind of high-oxygen sea water that has been scientifically treated. I have raised these two plum blossom sea cucumbers for a few days, and their life status is normal."
"Maybe it's also because the plum blossom sea cucumber has strong vitality." Xiang Yang said.
Although sea cucumbers live on the seabed, they cannot swim and can only crawl on the seabed by using the contraction and expansion of their muscles. Their crawling speed is very slow, even slower than the koala, which is known as the slowest animal in the world. In an hour, they can only crawl one or two meters at most.
Moreover, the plum blossom sea cucumber has no eyes, they cannot see anything, they do not have radar like bats, and they do not have sharp claws to deter enemies. Under such circumstances, it can allow the entire population to survive for billions of years, which shows how strong its survival ability is.
"Maybe." Zhang Qicheng shrugged, "But this water must have some effects."
Xiang Yang did not deny this.
He had never seen a plum blossom sea cucumber, but he knew about this thing.
Indeed, it is not so easy to keep the plum blossom sea cucumber alive after it is taken out of the water. It is definitely unrealistic to say that this water has no effect at all.
Li Chao's eyes became hot again when he saw the truth of these plum blossom sea cucumbers. He asked, "Lao Zhang, how many of these sea cucumbers did you bring back? Can you give me a batch?"
"Don't even think about it." Zhang Qicheng shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but these plum blossom sea cucumbers are not edible."
Li Chao was stunned.
Xiang Yang reacted instantly, "Is this a deep-sea sea cucumber?"
Sea cucumbers are found in both shallow and deep seas.
Shallow sea sea cucumbers are a very nutritious seafood, also known as sea ginseng. They are high in protein, low in fat, sugar-free and cholesterol-free. Over hundreds of millions of years of historical evolution, they have always respected the biological evolution rule of survival of the fittest. The nutrients accumulated in their bodies have a nearly perfect nutritional structure, containing more than 50 kinds of trace elements that are beneficial to the human body.
But deep-sea sea cucumbers are generally not edible.
All sea cucumbers have a strange phenomenon: they will coexist harmoniously with most parasites. No matter whether the marine organisms that live in symbiosis with them are beneficial to them, as long as they come to parasitize, they will accept them.
Especially a kind of bioluminescent deep-sea fish.
Those small fish often burrow into the sea cucumber's cavity to avoid enemies. They treat the sea cucumber as a comfortable home during the day and go out at night to attack animals such as clams.
Not only will the parasitic sea cucumber not gain any benefit, but its internal organs will be damaged.
But sea cucumbers never actively drive away parasites. They live in harmony with parasites and never separate... This may be the love that transcends race.
There are always parasites in the bodies of deep-sea sea cucumbers to a greater or lesser extent.
Sea cucumbers in diving areas close to the coast are generally very clean and free of any parasites.
