"Young man, that snail is very beautiful. How about selling it to me for two hundred yuan?" In Sue
When 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 who took a fancy to Sue.
The snail he picked up.
"Not for sale." Sue said.
"One thousand."
The middle-aged man thought about it and then said.
"Not for sale." Sue shook his head.
"Not for sale."
"Three thousand."
The middle-aged man tripled the price at once, which made Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, and some of the surrounding villagers calm down. This inconspicuous snail that they ignored was actually worth three thousand yuan?
It was even more expensive than lobster?
However, he did not expect that Su
Still said lightly, "Not for sale."
Su Liang and Su Xiaolin both secretly pushed Sue.
Both of them were worried for Sue.
It's just a snail, how can it be sold for three thousand yuan?
"A snail is not sold for three thousand yuan. How much do you want to sell it for?
I want to buy it for my wife. She likes this kind of strange and beautiful thing the most. Otherwise, she won't spend three thousand yuan. "The middle-aged man was a little dissatisfied and felt that Sue was asking for a sky-high price.
"What do you want to buy for three thousand yuan?"
"What do you want to buy for three thousand yuan?" A charming woman in a swimsuit came up to him.
"Wife, look at this snail, isn't it very beautiful? Do you like it?" The middle-aged man laughed.
"It's very beautiful, but three thousand yuan is too expensive. Don't spend money recklessly."
The middle-aged woman smiled. Obviously, 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 sell it for one thousand yuan?
Don't think that you can cheat us just because you have money. How much can a snail be worth?
If you miss our village, you won't have this temple again. "
"Not for sale." Sue
Still shook his head.
"Then forget it. You can keep it for yourself to mold." The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and pulled the middle-aged man away.
"Ah?
What kind of snail is this so valuable?
Not even three thousand yuan? "Su Liang asked. Su Xiaolin, Su Hu, and others also looked closer.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Nautilus," Sue said.
At first, he didn't recognize this kind of snail, but after searching on Baidu, he found the result. The entire spiral shell of the Nautilus was smooth like a disc, shaped like a parrot's beak, so it got the name "Nautilus."
Nautilus was an ancient mollusk that had lived for hundreds of millions of years, but its appearance and habits had changed very little. It was known as a "living fossil" and had high value in the study of animal evolution.
There were more than 30 species of their ancestors, but in the catastrophe 65 million years ago, they suffered the same fate as the dinosaurs and were wiped out.
The few surviving descendants of Nautilus lived in the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, leaving Nautilus Ponti, Nautilus Profundus, Nautilus Bighead, and two other unidentified species.
Today, nautiluses are as rare as pandas. Sue
How could it be sold for a few thousand?
In fact, he was struggling in his heart. No matter how much money it was, he couldn't just sell it casually. Nautilus was a national protected animal. It would be terrible if it was reported.
"What kind of snail is a nautilus?" Su Liang asked curiously.
"I'll tell you later." Sue went to the Great Seafood Restaurant with the Nautilus in the bucket.
Carrying the Nautilus in the bucket to the Great Seafood Restaurant, Su Liang and Su Xiaolin followed curiously, they were very interested in Su?
They knew Sue best.
Never do business at a loss.
When they arrived at the Great Seafood Restaurant, Sue
Put the Nautilus in a fish tank, Su Zhenhong and others learned that Sue had made tens of thousands of yuan in the blink of an eye.
They couldn't help but feel happy for Sue.
He thought that this kid spent a lot of money, but his ability to make money was really not covered.
"A?
What kind of snail is this, used as a pet? "Zhao Mengxiang saw Sue.
He put the snail into a fish tank and felt that the snail was beautiful and asked.
"I haven't even seen this kind of snail." Su Zhenhong was surprised.
"Someone just bid three thousand, A?
No sale. "Su Liang laughed.
"Three thousand?"
Su Zhenhong, Liu Shu and Zhao Mengxiang were stunned. They didn't expect the snail to sell for three thousand. Su Zhenhong and Liu Shu thought of Sue.
Was it too greedy? Zhao Mengxiang suddenly remembered the incident of the red sandalwood ten days ago. She thought to herself, Sue
He must have his reasons for not selling.
Sue
He took a photo of Nautilus and posted it on the forum of Zhongyun Oceanarium. He didn't want to hide it. This Nautilus is either not for sale, or it is sold openly through legal channels. Otherwise, even if it is sold for tens of thousands of dollars and leads to illegal activities, it is not worth it.
The current Sue,
Was there a need to break the law to earn money?
Sue
Unexpectedly, after a while, a phone call came in, and the caller ID was Zhongyun Oceanarium.
Sue
Delighted, he answered the call. "Hello."
An old and excited voice came from the phone: "Hello, I am Ye Bo, a paleontologist. I am now doing research in the Zhongyun Oceanarium. May I ask if you posted the post about Nautilus on the forum?"
Sue
Said: "Yes."
The voice on the other end of the phone seemed even more excited: "Nautilus is still with you, right? Where are you now? I'll go to you right away. And don't sell or break Nautilus. Take good care of it …"
The old man's voice was even more powerful than Tang Monk's spell. Sue listened to it.
A burst of dizziness.
Finally, Sue told him the address.
After telling him the address, less than an hour later, a white-haired old man and a middle-aged man came to the Great Seafood Restaurant. Although the old man was old, his eyes were very bright. He saw the Nautilus in the fish tank at a glance and walked up quickly.
"It's really Nautilus. I didn't expect that there were Nautilus in this sea area, and it's so big."
Ye Bo's eyes lit up, and he stared at Nautilus left and right as if there was no one else around. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and burst out with a bright light. He said excitedly, "This Nautilus must be sent to the aquarium immediately. Little Ming, come and help."
"Teacher, I haven't asked for their permission yet."
The middle-aged man was speechless for a while. The teacher was good at everything, but once he was excited, he forgot all the ways of the world.
"Oh, who got this Nautilus?" Ye Bo asked.
"Me." Sue raised his hand.
"Me."
Ye Bo said. "It's okay to send this Nautilus to the aquarium. It's a contribution to scientific research."
"It's not impossible to send it to the aquarium, as long as you can afford it." Sue smiled.
He has learned that according to the Aquatic Wildlife Resources Protection Act, Nautilus is not absolutely impossible to sell. As long as it is approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and 30,000 yuan is paid to the state for each Nautilus, it can still become a legal sale.
If it is sold to a private person, it will not be easy to get the approval of the Ministry of Agriculture, but it is not easy to sell it to the aquarium. All the procedures can be easily handled by the aquarium.
"How much do you want to sell it for?" Ye Bo looked at Sue with a smile.
"One hundred and fifty thousand." Sue said.
This made Su Zhenhong, Su Liang, Su Xiaolin, and others suddenly open their mouths. This is too high a price, but what they can't think of is still behind.
"Deal, I'll transfer the money to you right away." Ye Bo answered very simply, almost without any pause.
"That's fine." Sue agreed.
According to his estimation, the price of 150,000 was a lot higher. He thought that Ye Bo might bargain, but when he saw Ye Bo being so straightforward, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have lost out, but the words that he said were like spilled water, and it was not easy to take it back.
"Then the thirty thousand yuan resource protection fee …" Sue said.
He asked.
"You are not selling Nautilus. Zhongyun Oceanarium is national. Handing over the oceanarium is equivalent to handing it over to the state. I am not buying it, I am just giving you subsidies." Ye Bo said seriously and gave it to Sue straightforwardly.
He transferred 150,000 yuan.
"…" Sue
He was stunned for quite a while. So that's how it works. Resource protection fees and taxes are all exempted.
"Can you give me this small fish tank?" Ye Bo asked.
"Of course." Sue nodded.
He earned 150,000 yuan from others and it was only right to give him a fish tank.
"Little Ming, come and help. Take this Nautilus to the oceanarium as soon as possible. It is pregnant and is about to give birth." Ye Bo said and moved the Nautilus with the middle-aged man along with the fish tank.
"…" Listening to Ye Bo, Sue finally reacted.
No wonder Ye Bo didn't blink his eyes for 150,000 yuan. It turned out that this Nautilus was pregnant. Sue realized that he might have really lost money, but he was relieved after thinking about it.
After all, Nautilus only laid a few to a few dozen eggs, and the hatching success rate was not necessarily high. It was not easy for Nautilus to do scientific research. At most, it would be a contribution to scientific research. Anyway, 150,000 was worth it.
