"The ocean is too big, and humans know too little about it. The ocean contains endless life, and among these countless life forms, outstanding individuals will occasionally be born, just like among humans, the average height is about 1.67 meters, but occasionally there will be people over 2 meters tall, or even more than 2 meters tall. So it is not surprising to occasionally find a giant sea cucumber." Xiang Yang said.
Chen Qingsheng smiled bitterly and said, "But this individual is too big for the group. In the past, a sea cucumber about one meter in size could be called the king of sea cucumbers. This sea cucumber is several times bigger than the king of sea cucumbers."
Next to them, a group of crew members also nodded.
A group of people looked at Xiang Yang with eyes full of admiration, thinking that the captain is the captain. He was able to find such a large sea cucumber. No wonder he looked down on the agar-agar on the seabed.
Xiang Yang asked: "How about you guys, how did you get from the underwater operation just now?"
Chen Qingsheng felt a little frustrated. He said helplessly, "We found a lot of agar-agar on the seabed. The appearance and quality of these agar-agar are very good. We can sell them for at least 20 to 30 yuan per pound. We just harvested a lot of agar-agar on the seabed, which can be considered a small harvest. But compared with the plum blossom sea cucumber emperor you caught, it really can't be compared."
Xiang Yang smiled and thought to himself, how can you compare agar-agar with plum-blossom sea cucumber
This plum blossom sea cucumber is so huge that it can be considered a monster. He would not sell it for less than several million.
And how much is that bit of agar-agar worth
Even if you catch 10,000 kilograms, it would only be two or three million.
However, there is no comparison between the two.
Even if Xiang Yang searched the entire seabed, it would be difficult to find a second sea cucumber like this.
And those agar-agar are everywhere on the seabed of this sea area. As long as the fleet stays here for two days, the crew can easily salvage tens of thousands of kilograms of them by expending a little energy.
"Okay, these agar-agar are indeed good stuff. Although they are not as valuable as crabs and lobsters, they are easier to salvage. Let's take a break for a while. I'll go to the bottom of the sea to take a look, and you guys continue to collect agar-agar." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Chen Qingsheng nodded, "Yes, boss."
Then Xiang Yang looked at Xu Fang again and asked, "Master Xu, is there any signal on the mobile phone in this sea area?"
At sea, in most sea areas, mobile phones have no signal or are of very poor quality. Crew members can usually only contact the outside world through satellite phones in crisis situations.
Xu Fang nodded and said, "This place is not far from the Quanzhou fishing grounds. There is a signal on the sea, and the signal is pretty good."
Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "Then I'll call back."
Xiang Yang certainly didn't dare to keep such a big sea cucumber in his hands. You know, sea cucumbers will turn into water and disappear in many situations.
Of course, Xiang Yang couldn't possibly sell such a top-quality sea cucumber at such a low price.
So before going back, Xiang Yang had to find a way to find a good buyer for this sea cucumber.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello? Is this Brother Xiang?" Li Chao on the other end of the phone was not in a very good mood. He seemed to be a little resentful that Xiang Yang had promised to wait for him to get back the deep-diving equipment and then help him salvage the batch of royal golden abalone, but then ran out to sea halfway.
"It's me, Brother Chao. What are you busy with?" Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Li Chao said calmly, "I'm doing promotional activities for the hotel. It's almost the end of the year. Longcheng is a city with a floating population. When the Chinese New Year comes, these floating populations will basically go home to celebrate the New Year. My business will basically be quiet. I have to take advantage of now to make some money for the New Year."
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Does your hotel still need promotion?"
Li Chao sighed and said, "It's the hot season now, but I don't have anything to show off in my hotel. The ingredients are all the same. I wanted to ask you to help me salvage the batch of royal abalone so that I can operate it. But the deep-diving equipment came back, but you ran away. Brother Chao, my life is so hard now!"
"ah?"
Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, "Has the deep-diving equipment returned? Brother Chao, didn't I contact you before I went out? Didn't I contact you as soon as the equipment returned?"
Li Chao was speechless and said, "How do you want me to contact you? You led such a large fleet to sail out in a mighty manner. How can I call back such a large fleet just for a few abalones?"
Xiang Yang smiled awkwardly, "That's right." After all, it costs money for a fleet to go to the ocean. The cost of a voyage is already much higher than those royal abalone. If they return without catching enough fish, they will lose money.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about this time?" After complaining to Xiang Yang, Li Chao finally talked about business. He still did not urge Xiang Yang to come back quickly, or ask when Xiang Yang would come back. From this point of view, Li Chao's character is really good.
Xiang Yang smiled and gave Li Chao the good news, "I have returned and have passed the Quanzhou waters. In a few days at most, I will be able to return to Qinglongwan."
"That's great. I've left the diving equipment at the Binhai Hotel. When you come back, just go to the Binhai Hotel to get it. I've already told the cruise ship about it. Then you can go directly to the cruise ship and someone will take you to the abandoned seawater farm. Brother Xiang, when you come back this time, you have to help me fish out those royal abalones. I'm waiting to save you." Li Chao said half-jokingly.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already promised you that. The first thing I'll do when I get back is to help you get it. But Brother Chao, I'm afraid you'll have to come to Qinglongwan in the next two days."
Li Chao asked in confusion, "What's the matter? I just left Qinglongwan a few days ago, and now there's something going on at the hotel in Longcheng. If it's not too urgent, can it wait for a while?"
In the past, every time Xiang Yang came back from sailing, Li Chao would go to Qinglong Bend to take a look if he had time.
But later, since Xiang Yang and Zhang Qicheng became full partners, even if Li Chao was in Qinglongwan, he would not rush to see Xiang Yang when Xiang Yang was returning, mainly because he was afraid that Zhang Qicheng would misunderstand.
After all, Zhang Qicheng is Li Chao's main supplier, and Xiang Yang is one of Zhang Qicheng's suppliers. Li Chao directly bypassed Zhang Qicheng to meet Xiang Yang. Even if Li Chao and Zhang Qicheng have a good relationship, Zhang Qicheng will inevitably feel uncomfortable in his heart.
When Li Chao has achieved such success in business, competition is no longer the mainstream. Cooperation and mutual benefit are their business philosophy.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "I just caught a plum ginseng at the bottom of the sea."
