Chapter 92 The Value of Abalone Pearls
After receiving the money from the accountant and returning to Manager Du's office, Liang Ziqiang asked:
"Brother Teng, did your friend collect the Ji Haibei last time?"
Du Ziteng also suddenly remembered after hearing what he said:
"Oh, yes. He was quite satisfied with the quality. He also said that if you can find similar clams again, you can continue to sell them to him. Of course, he also knows that this thing is very rare and it is impossible to encounter it again and again..."
He suddenly stopped talking halfway because he saw Liang Ziqiang taking something out with his hands in front of him...
He paused for a moment, his expression somewhat petrified, and asked with eyes wide open:
"You didn't... pick up Jiha again?"
If the same person could encounter Ji Ha repeatedly, would it still be called Ji Ha? This was not possible no matter how you thought about it...
Liang Ziqiang uttered a cry and spread out his hands. In his palm, a bluish-purple, irregular "pebble" appeared in front of Du Ziteng.
It wasn’t Ji Ha, but the color and the luster still made Du Ziteng a little overwhelmed!
"You didn't mean to pick up another... alien pearl this time?!"
"It's Baozhu, take a look first!"
Without Liang Ziqiang saying anything, Du Ziteng had already taken the abalone bead from his hand, looked at it again and again, and said:
"Abalone beads are rare. You still want me to ask my friend if he wants you, right? Then you came at the right time today!"
Liang Ziqiang was delighted, thinking that the other party would definitely accept it.
But Du Ziteng said, "I don't know whether he will accept this or not, but it doesn't matter, you will have a chance to ask him in person soon! He is not in Hong Kong Island these days, but in Yanghai, and what a coincidence, he will come to our restaurant today to sit down."
As he spoke, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch:
"He should be here in about 10 to 20 minutes. I'm just about to wait for him at the door. How about you stay here for another 10 minutes. When he comes, I'll ask him not to go to the private room first, but come here to show you this?"
"That's fine. I originally wanted to do the same as last time with Ji He and let Brother Teng do the job for me. Now that it's such a coincidence, I'll wait here for you!"
"That's good. I think he might be interested. I went to his place before and he showed me some of his collection. It's not just clams, there are all kinds of shells and snails. There's nothing he can't find except what I can think of!"
Manager Du said a few more words, raised his wrist again, saw that the time was almost up, and stood up and walked towards the restaurant entrance.
Liang Ziqiang and Lin Baixian waited for a while, and then they heard the voices of Manager Du and another middle-aged man coming from the corridor, getting closer and closer.
After a while, Du Ziteng walked in with a man in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and with a slightly plump belly.
As soon as he entered the door, Du Ziteng said to Liang Ziqiang:
"Boss Pang is here!"
Then he introduced it to Mr. Pang:
"This is Liang Ziqiang, he was the one who brought the Ji ham last time; this is Lin Baixian, both of them provided us with rare and exquisite seafood!"
Liang Ziqiang and Lin Baixian hurriedly greeted Mr. Pang politely.
Mr. Pang spoke casually: "Don't call me Mr. Pang. My name contains the character Hui, so just call me Brother Hui. The clams you found last time were of good quality. I told Manager Du at the time that you should come to me again if you have something good next time. I was only half joking at first, but I didn't expect him to say just now, have you really found a treasure again?"
After hearing what he said, Liang Ziqiang also relaxed and smiled:
"An abalone bead. It's a bit rare. Anyway, I see abalone every day, but this is the first time I've seen a bead in abalone. I brought it. Brother Hui, can you take a look now?"
He handed the abalone bead to Brother Hui.
The other party carefully watched from various angles for a while, then looked at Liang Ziqiang and spoke:
"Let me get this straight. I will definitely accept abalone beads. The shape of your abalone bead is indeed a bit too irregular, but this is not a big problem because most abalone beads are irregular.
The main thing is that it's still too small. As you know, the bigger the pearl, the more valuable it is!"
What Mr. Pang said was actually common sense to Liang Ziqiang. He hummed and nodded in agreement:
"That kind of top-quality large pearl cannot be compared to this one. I brought this one here mainly because it is rare after all. If they are of the same size, abalone pearls are definitely much more valuable than ordinary small pearls. Anyway, Brother Hui can just name a normal price, and I will sell it if it can be sold!"
Liang Ziqiang knew that if the pearls were found in ordinary pearl oysters, they would have no value at all because of their small size and strange shape.
Because it is abalone beads, although small, it is still worth trying your luck.
Mr. Pang thought for a moment and said, "This one should be a little higher than the last one. Two hundred. I want it!"
To be honest, when Liang Ziqiang heard the price, he was a little happy.
He originally estimated that since this abalone bead was so small, it could be sold at the same price as the last time, which would be considered a very good deal.
Liang Ziqiang agreed immediately.
The deal was done and Mr. Pang was in a good mood. He took out cash from his bag and gave it to Liang Ziqiang. At the same time, he took out two business cards with gold lines on them and gave them to Liang Ziqiang and Lin Baixian respectively.
Liang Ziqiang took a look and found that the business cards of Hong Kong businessmen in this era were really special.
Not only is the name "Pang Jiahui" printed on it, but there is also his photo, followed by the company name and phone number.
The golden pattern on it also makes it look very luxurious.
When handing over his business card, Pang Jiahui looked at Liang Ziqiang and said:
“I hope we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future!”
Liang Ziqiang felt strange: Thank you so much, you made it sound like a rare treasure like cabbage, as if I could pick it up eight or ten times!
Liang Ziqiang put away the business card and said with a chuckle, "Thanks for the good words, Brother Hui!"
Pang Jiahui became serious:
"I'm not kidding. Think about it, how low is the chance of a person stumbling upon a rare treasure twice in a row? But it happened to you, didn't it? So I think you're quite special. It's not impossible for you to pick up good things one after another in the future!
Let's put it this way. We have done two business deals, so we are destined to meet. In the hotel next door, I brought a few small picture books with pictures of shellfish, snails and pearls that I collected. I will go get one now and give it to you to read slowly. If you really come across good things in the future, at least you can recognize them. Don't miss it, it would be a pity! "
"You have a picture album? That's great! Anyway, I'll appreciate it. At least it will broaden my horizons and increase my knowledge!"
Liang Ziqiang certainly had no reason to refuse.
The vast ocean contains so many treasures. Even though he grew up in a fishing village and was exposed to so much, he still knew very little about the valuable treasures in the ocean.
The stories circulating among fishermen are naturally far inferior to the research of professionals.
Keep an album with you that details rare treasures from the ocean. It may bring you unexpected surprises in the future!
