In the United States, you can raise whatever you want, from golden eagles and white-headed eagles to crocodiles and brown bears. You can even raise snakes or tigers. As long as your neighbors don't care, that's fine. People can't control you.
Of course, if your neighbor calls the police, these things will also be caught, so if you don’t have a big house like Tyson or O’Neal, don’t think about raising tigers. The cost of those things is not Cheap.
But to be honest, not many people keep dolphins. Firstly, dolphins need a large place to swim. Secondly, if they are not at the beach, it is too expensive to adjust the water by yourself. In addition, dolphins are social creatures. If Those who don’t stay in groups will die.
The above three points have kept the dolphin breeding population at a low level. According to statistics, more than 50% of dolphins will stop eating after being caught until they die of depression. This is also the case for humans. The reason for not wanting to hunt them.
However, in the market economy, as long as it is something, it will have its value, and the same is true for dolphins.
So there are still some people who will catch these things for money, but if they want to catch it successfully, the chances are not very good. If they want to send it alive, it will be even less. It is precisely because of this, That’s why it costs tens of thousands of dollars a piece.
"The price I gave is already very considerate. I believe it will be difficult for you to get such a price elsewhere. Of course, if you want more, we can also give you a discount." Seeing Jiang Hai After thinking seriously, the old man here also said with a smile, and then stopped talking. It is not very popular in the United States to bargain. If you quote a price once and it fails, most of the sales will fall through. Like the popular domestic method of asking for high prices and paying back the money on the spot.
The price the old man said was the same as what Edward said when Jiang Hai came.
So Jiang Hai glanced at Edward at this time. Edward didn't look at him or nod. He just stood there and didn't move. This meant that the price was okay, not very high, but not low either. .
"I want ten of each kind, a total of twenty dolphins, all of which are over 1.5 meters tall. What's the minimum you can do for me?" Looking at the old man in front of him, Jiang Hai thought for a moment and explained what he wanted.
"Oh my God, I'm sure you're not here to eat anymore. Twenty pieces. It seems like you're really ready to release your life to do merit. But it doesn't matter. I only earn my Franklin. Twenty pieces, all of which are 1.5 meters. For the above, I will give you a total of thirteen thousand U.S. dollars. Well, I will subtract another five hundred and get twelve thousand five hundred U.S. dollars. In this way, for twenty items, the total is 250,000 U.S. dollars." After hearing what Jiang Hai said, The old man couldn't help but smile, and after hearing his quotation, Jiang Hai nodded secretly.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was still within his acceptable range, and there was a reason why he wanted one meter and a half.
Dolphins can basically grow to between 1.7 and 2.4 meters, and a few can grow to more than 2.5 meters. This is why they are the most expensive dolphins. After all, there are not many in number, and 1.5 meters is considered a critical point.
Dolphins of this age have not yet fully grown up, which is about two years old, and cannot mate yet, but they already have a certain fighting capacity, but their minds are not yet fully mature, which is more conducive to Jiang Hai's domestication.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Hai deliberately chose a dolphin of this length.
The old man naturally understood why Jiang Hai chose this length, but at this time he chose to shut up. He also understood what should not be said. What Jiang Hai wanted these dolphins to do, he didn't know, and he was too lazy to know.
As he said, he only loves his Franklin. Jiang Hai's business is worth 250,000 U.S. dollars. He can make about 50,000 from it. This is just the price of a seam. There is no reason not to make a profit. , isn’t it
"Money is not an issue. When can the dolphins arrive?" After some calculation in his mind, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was just a drop in the bucket for Jiang Hai now, so he stood up first and asked the old man.
"I'll give you a call within a week, but you have to leave me some deposit first." The old man watched Jiang Hai stand up, and he also stood up and said to Jiang Hai with a smile, a dolphin over 1.5 meters tall, In fact, it is really not difficult to get.
In addition to the harvest of the nearby fishermen, dolphins in some zoos and aquariums in the city also have to give birth to cubs. Some aquariums cannot handle the cubs after they are born. Most of the zoos and museums in the United States, Aquariums and the like are open to the public free of charge, and the only income comes from donations from kindhearted people.
But the money is naturally beyond one's means, so sometimes selling the extra dolphins to some wealthy people, or people like the old man, is actually not a very uncommon thing in the United States.
"This is 50,000. I'll wait for your call within a week." Jiang Hai is also a happy person. He himself is not willing to waste any words here. He directly took out a check for 50,000 US dollars and handed it to the old man's hand. In front of him, the old man picked up the check and flicked it gently.
"Just listen to my good news!" As long as he has money, there is nothing that this old man can't get out of the sea.
After making an agreement with him and signing something similar to an agreement, Jiang Hai left here with Edward and the others.
Amid the envious eyes of the fishermen, they drove this beautiful yacht slowly out of the bay.
As soon as it accelerated, it was like a white line that quickly disappeared.
Looking at Jiang Hai's yacht, many people sighed helplessly. To be honest, who doesn't envy Jiang Hai's life
The big yacht was driving, the big green bills were swinging around, and naturally there were a lot of beauties around. However, they probably could only think about this kind of life in their lifetime. Listening to the sound of the engine fading away, these fishermen Our originally high mood also dropped a lot.
It's like two people sitting in the lobby of a five-star hotel eating peanuts and bragging 13.
As a result, a billionaire walked in from the outside, and the feeling of these two guys bragging about 13 disappeared instantly.
Thinking about Jiang Hai being such a person back then, he secretly made up his mind, what? To become such a person? No, no, no... Jiang Hai had made up his mind to never come to this hotel again.
"Boss, why did that guy come to you? Big business?" Watching Jiang Hai leave, a steward here came over and asked curiously to the old man who came out to see Jiang Hai and the others off. He was really curious. .
"Twenty dolphins, do you think it's a big deal?" He glanced at his men with a smile. The old man didn't even hide his teasing. Buying twenty dolphins is not a small matter. This matter will definitely spread. Yes, they know it now.
"Twenty dolphins, what is this guy going to do?" Although they all know that the price of dolphins is not high, but it is definitely not low. It costs at least 200,000. If you spend 200,000, you can't kill them randomly if you buy these 20 dolphins. If you can’t eat meat, what’s the use of fur
"We don't need to guess what the rich think, we just need to do our own thing." After flicking the check in his hand, the old man said with a smile, turned around and went to make a phone call. Hai Yao's week is quite tight.
Jiang Hai, on the other side, was driving a yacht and quickly returned to his home dock.
However, after returning to the dock, he did not go back to the villa directly. Instead, he drove the boat to the sea. He called out the Dasha couple and looked at them. There was no change, but the scars left by yesterday's battle had already All gone.
Seeing Jiang Hai again this time, not only Dasha looked very excited, Dasha's wife also looked very excited.
"Don't worry, I will find some men for you in a few days. Even if a group of killer whales come next time, we can defeat them!" Looking at the two guys in front of him, Jiang Hai stretched out his hand and shot with his left hand. Pat, pat right, pat, and said to himself at the same time.
After playing with the two guys for a while, Jiang Hai dived into the bottom of the sea. He did not forget the purpose of coming here this time.
He came here to dig abalone, and he wanted to go back to eat abalone and shark fin. He thought if these two things were perfectly blended together...
Tsk tsk, I can’t think about it anymore. Jiang Hai felt that if he thought about it for a while longer, he might start drooling.
After diving into the water, Jiang Hai would be a little shocked every time he saw the underwater scene.
Although Jiang Hai is not a tropical sea, although the coral reefs are alive, most of them are gray and lifeless. However, the waves are dripping under the sea surface, and there are schools of fish flashing by from time to time. It is indeed very beautiful. .
Just when Jiang Hai was about to dig abalone, suddenly in front of him, a group of very fast fish passed by quickly.
This group of fish ate while running, eating a lot of small squid and octopus in an instant. Fortunately, Jiang Hai's fish had grown quite large by now and had a certain ability to protect themselves. Otherwise, you may not be able to escape the poisonous mouths of these guys.
Looking at these guys, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He had just finished killing the hammerhead sharks, why did a bunch of foodies appear again
You know, Jiang Hai has great expectations for the fish in his fishing ground. How could he allow other fish to eat freely
But when Jiang Hai took a closer look and saw the fish in front of him, Jiang Hai couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Because he was familiar with the fish in front of him, but he had almost never seen it before. The streamlined torpedo-like body, the dark blue dorsal fin on the back, and the extremely fast speed. The leading fish must be almost three and a half meters tall. On the left and right, the fish in the back are basically about two meters apart. Such fish, such a school of fish, if Jiang Hai guessed correctly!
"Holy crap, where did the bluefin golden gun come from?"
