Seven Hundred and Seventy Seventh Chapter Green

Due to El Niño and global warming, wild bony corals around the world are facing extinction. Some people even joked that buying some bony corals now may be worth more than gold in 40 years.

Coral is a creature that is both strong and fragile.

They are strong because they keep replicating and dividing, and can survive for thousands of years. The coral reefs formed by the accumulation of bones after death gradually rise, and finally surface, forming a string of pearl-like reefs in the vast sea. Islands, such as the Nansha Islands and Xisha Islands, are composed of coral reefs.

Without corals, China's territorial waters would be much smaller than it is today.

They are fragile because although most of them live in tropical oceans, they cannot tolerate water temperatures above 30 degrees for a long time, otherwise they will expel the symbiotic zooxanthellae in their bodies and quickly die.

However, the intensification of the greenhouse effect has caused the global sea water to continue to heat up, and corals cannot swim to cool waters to inhabit like fish. It may take less than 40 years. In 20 years, there will probably be no wild bony corals in the world.

In addition to the rise in water temperature, seawater acidification and eutrophication are also important reasons for the extinction of bony corals, both of which are entirely due to the discharge of human domestic sewage and industrial wastewater.

The seabed of Dapeng Bay in Shencheng was an underwater paradise with dense corals and rich species more than ten years ago, but now it is a large underwater desert.

In this context, the state has decided to vigorously rectify the aquarium market and prohibit the mining and trade of wild bony corals, especially in the South China Sea. Most of the bony corals currently circulating in the aquarium market are bred in Yu, the Philippines and Australia—theoretically so , but in fact, because digging corals is profitable, in addition to farming, Yu’s fishermen also go to the sea to dig corals to increase production. Anyway, they are mixed together for sale, and it is difficult to distinguish whether they are artificially cultivated or wild.

There are not so many taboos for soft corals, because soft corals have a relatively high temperature tolerance, and there is no risk of extinction for the time being, so there are obviously more types of soft corals in this store than hard corals.

The female customer browsed through the store before, but she didn't seem to find the coral she liked, and she showed a disappointed look. She shuffled, as if intending to turn around and leave.

The owner of this coral franchise store intends to keep him. He raised his chin, pointed to the coral import license hanging on the wall, and said proudly: "I operate here with a license, so I paid a lot for the license fee." Dali, those colleagues who made fun of me before are now eating in prison. Today you came just in time, you might as well wait a while, a new batch of corals will be sent over soon."

"Oh?" The female customer suddenly became interested, "How often do you introduce a new batch of coral here?"

"The time is uncertain, probably about three months." The boss replied: "Generally, we will buy new ones when they are almost sold out, and we will introduce new ones to see which ones sell well, and at the same time introduce a small amount of new varieties for trial sale. "

The female customer frowned, "Your business method is too conservative. There are too few types and colors so that people can't even arouse their interest in buying, okay? The big disc coral is only golden, and the brain coral is basically only green. , Whether it’s the horoscope or the Australian donuts, they are all green—dark green, light green, dark green, you like to give your brain green so much?”

puff!

Hearing this, I couldn't help laughing, and the netizens in the live broadcast room laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt, and they only regretted that there was no picture to watch.

The female customer spoke sharply, and she sounded like a senior aquarium player. She embarrassed the store owner and argued with a wry smile: "I also want to introduce more species, but corals are too delicate, and many types of corals are not even suitable for me. They are not enough to support them, and they must be sold after they are introduced, otherwise they will fall into the hands of others.”

The store owner dared to run a coral store, and he must be an expert in coral cultivation, and the breeding level is definitely higher than that of the female customer, but he has to take care of too many corals, and each coral is sensitive to the breeding environment such as water temperature and light. The requirements are different, and after a long time, it must be a life-span.

If you are not careful, you will lose a lot.

Zhang Zian was deeply sympathetic, but he didn't intend to wade into this muddy water, lest he embed himself in it.

He focused his attention on observing the current chat corals in the store. It was indeed as the female customer said. Although there are many types, they are all common ones. Although the colors are rich, they often lack rare colors. All tanks are green.

The color of coral is an important factor in determining the price. Even for the same coral, as long as the color is different, the price can vary several times or even ten times.

Rare things are more expensive, everyone wants to grow corals with rare colors, so corals with rare colors are often sold out as soon as they appear in the aquarium market, and corals with common colors are not so popular.

Zhang Zian originally planned to visit other coral shops, but when he heard the news that a new batch of imported coral was about to arrive, he and some decided to stay and wait for a while.

Some of them wanted to open their eyes, but he and the female customer exchanged glances, and they both tacitly wanted to find treasures. If they could find rare types of corals or corals of rare colors, it would definitely add color to his aquarium. few.

However, this means that his wallet is going to bleed profusely.

He tentatively asked: "Boss, you are not allowed to take pictures in the display area of ​​the landscaping tank outside. Is it possible here? I am an anchor. If I can, maybe it can play a certain role in promoting your store."

The boss pondered for a while, and for the sake of some beauties, he reluctantly nodded and agreed: "Just take pictures in the store. In fact, I don't expect any publicity effect. After all, coral cultivation is a small circle. Only coral buyers in this city You can buy it here."

With his permission, Xie was finally able to take out his mobile phone openly, and use the camera to look around the store. The bizarre coral tank immediately aroused the amazement of netizens in the live broadcast room.

Some netizens were dissatisfied when they heard the boss's words, and said that they would come to this store to buy corals in two days, and they also specifically stated that they watched some live broadcasts.

Ding!

The elevator stopped on the second floor. It was not an ordinary elevator for customers, but a freight elevator for employees. The entrance and exit were wider than ordinary elevators.

"Flash! Flash! That flash face, please step aside!"

As soon as the elevator doors opened, employees in fish market uniforms appeared in the elevator pushing delivery carts and shouted to customers who were blocking the way.

The cart was stacked with huge incubators, which looked quite heavy.

"Here we come." The boss cheered up and quit the mobile game he was playing.

Zhang Zian and the others were also looking forward to it.
