Chapter 44

Everyone decided to go diving, so they drove the yacht to find a more suitable place nearby.

Mo Qiong immediately guided the direction of the big pearl, bringing the ship closer to the target.

There is no doubt that the place where the pearl oyster is located cannot be the deep seabed. It must be located ten or twenty meters above the sea surface.

There are no islands nearby, but there are pearls. Mo Qiong guessed that there must be a high island base under the sea.

That is, islands below sea level will become islands only when the sea water is lowered, otherwise they are just submarine highlands.

At noon, Mo Qiong looked at the sea and said, "This should be very suitable for diving."

Zhang He jumped down and took a short dive and said, "There are many schools of fish. It shouldn't be deep here."

"How deep is it?" asked a girl.

Zhang He estimated: "At most thirty meters."

The four girls immediately exclaimed: "It's too deep. We can only dive ten meters at most."

They were brought out by a few men to play with, and they were not people who often went to sea.

"It doesn't matter. If you feel uncomfortable, just go up. I don't force you to sink to the bottom." A young man named Xiao Kun said.

The girls asked, "What's the deepest you can dive?"

"I've dived a hundred meters." Xiao Kun boasted, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhang He said with a smile: "Don't listen to him. The water is a hundred meters deep. He came up after diving for thirty meters."

"Forget it about girls. Are you guys ready to fight to the end? I've dived fifty meters. This thirty meters is trivial." Someone said.

Zhang He said: "Whatever, what do you say Xiao Mo?"

He collided with Mo Qiong's boat and was rescued. In addition, Mo Qiong believed and respected his dream, which made Zhang He regard Mo Qiong as a friend, even closer than several friends who went to sea together.

Mo Qiong smiled and said, "I have no problem."

Everyone laughed and changed into their diving suits.

Of course Mo Qiong also had it, and he had deliberately saved it when the ship sank before.

"Plop!"

Everyone took turns to go down, got used to the water pressure, and then started diving.

At a depth of ten meters, you can see groups of fish passing by. They pass through the fish, disturb and chase them, and enjoy it.

After taking a few photos, everyone continued diving.

After reaching a distance of more than 20 meters, a few girls can no longer do it.

Everyone laughed and surfaced together again.

"Let's do this, you just swim near the boat, and a few of us will go underneath and take pictures for you to see." Xiao Kun said.

"We saw a lot of fish, let's take more pictures," the girls said.

Xiao Kun said: "No problem, just wait here."

After leaving the girl behind, the five men held hands and dived down.

He didn't stop until he saw rocks about thirty meters away.

They were groping for sightseeing while holding on to the towering rocks on the seabed. There was a lot of vegetation covering the place, and schools of fish shuttled among it.

Everyone chased him, but they didn't get too far away.

No one noticed that there was an undercurrent sweeping around Mo Qiong, flowing along the rocks into the darkness in the distance.

"Pearl oysters are usually only ten to twenty meters long, but this one seems to be particularly deep."

Mo Qiong endured the water pressure and groped for the rocks to explore and track the past.

After walking dozens of meters, Mo Qiong finally saw his target. There was a large shell a few meters away from him.

One after another, they are covered with rocks.

One of them was particularly huge, and a can had a hole in it...

"I took protective measures. Pearl should be fine, right?"

Mo Qiong leaned over and looked through the hole in the shell. He could see a big pearl and his can next to it.

Forget about the can, he found a place to bury it, and then took out the pearl. As for the shell meat inside, it had long been eaten up by the fish, and now only the empty shell was left.

Holding the pearl, Mo Qiong used the light above his head to check it, and found that there was no obvious damage.

"I don't know how much this one alone is worth. If there are all these next to it..." Mo Qiong glanced at at least hundreds of pearl oysters around him and secretly thought that the trip was well worth it.

…

After half an hour, they got tired of playing and wanted to go up.

But Zhang He looked around, but couldn't find Mo Qiong.

But everyone didn't care. Mo Qiong was so good in water, could he throw it away? He said he would talk about it later.

However, when they reached the top, they didn't see Mo Qiong coming up.

After waiting for a while, Zhang He became a little anxious: "Where is the person?"

"He swam very fast. Did he swim far away after the fish?" Xiao Kun said.

Just when everyone was about to go down and look for it, they saw a big mackerel rushing out of the water and appearing in front of them with one arm holding the body of the fish.

Mo Qiong came up, holding the Bayu in one hand and throwing it to the deck.

The girls all screamed, and Zhang He laughed and said, "Did you really catch a fish? That's awesome. How did you catch the fish with your bare hands?"

Of course, humans can't swim as fast as fish. Although a large number of fish seem to be within reach, when you actually catch them, you will find that you can't catch any of them.

Several of them tried it underwater, but quickly gave up. A fish that is too small is slippery and difficult to catch, while a fish that is too big is too strong and difficult to catch.

Catching fish with bare hands is a technical job, and they can only catch fish with a net at most.

Everyone thought that Mo Qiong had gone to catch a fish, but little did they know that the fish was just a tool for him to speed up the surface.

Mo Qiong shook his head and said, "I caught this fish easily. That's what I mainly discovered."

As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand out of the water, and a big bright white pearl broke out of the water.

"Fuck!" Everyone was in an uproar. The pearl was round and plump in the hand, and the sunlight shining on the water droplets made the pearl even more dazzling.

The women all screamed and lay on the railings, staring desperately.

"You actually found such a big pearl?" Xiao Kun exclaimed.

Zhang He also said: "It doesn't matter how big it is. I've seen bigger ones, but the ones this round are really valuable!"

Everyone hurriedly called Mo Qiong up, then gathered around Mo Qiong and stared at Pearl.

Several girls thought about touching it, but Mo Qiong handed it over without caring.

The girls took turns to look at it and said, "The color is also very good. It's so beautiful."

"It's a pity that there is wear and tear. There are obvious scratches here."

Zhang He said: "It's okay if there are scratches. If it's this small, you won't be able to see it if you put it face down on the tray."

"Brother, you are so lucky. This kind of natural large pearl is very rare. I didn't expect to find it here. People usually don't come to pearl hunting in this kind of place."

This sea area belongs to the deep sea area, and the nearest shoal is more than 200 kilometers away, but I didn't expect there to be pearl oysters underneath.

"There should be more down here, right? There can't be only one shell." Xiao Kun said suddenly.

Mo Qiong smiled and said: "There are hundreds more, but they are not as big as this one. You can go and have a look."

He pointed out the direction without hesitation, and everyone was surprised. They drove the boat over and everyone went into the water again.

"Bring your tools and break it with your hands, why don't you die from exhaustion?" Mo Qiong reminded.

He had broken apart dozens of them just now, some without pearls, some extremely small, and as good as his hands, he searched for half an hour but couldn't find the second one.

Don't say it's equally good, even slightly worse.

But if you pry open hundreds of them, there should be some that are in good condition, but compared to this, those are just a small fortune.

As soon as he pointed the way, everyone dived down to look for it.

Including the girls, they were originally unable to dive to a depth of 20 meters, but they actually dived to a depth of 30 meters.

In fact, they are not short of money. They look for pearls as a surprise, which is a kind of treasure hunting fun.

After more than a dozen trips up and down, this group of people managed to destroy all the pearl oysters.

Hundreds of pearls, large and small, were brought on board.

Mo Qiong took the opportunity to say: "This is the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines. Fishing on such a scale..."

Xiao Kun hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay, who knows this place? Let's go back directly from the high seas."

Mo Qiong nodded. He had dragged everyone down now. Everyone got the pearl, and no one would think there was anything wrong with it.

Moreover, this group of people have the connections to sell these pearls, and Mo Qiong can also take advantage of the situation.

Two hours later, they entered the high seas again and headed towards the country.

In the cabin, everyone gathered around the table and tasted the results they had caught.

Zhang He has also caught pearls before and is even familiar with this market.

I saw him say: "These two hundred or so are useless, girls can use them to apply on their faces."

In one breath, I picked out more than two hundred ones that were of average quality.

"These are okay, and this one, this one..." Zhang He picked out thirty ones with commercial value.

Xiao Kun said: "I want these thirty, you can make a price."

Zhang He said: "These are only 10,000 pieces, but you will bleed for these four. The roundness, glossy skin and perfect skin are all perfect. This one alone is worth 100,000. The others will double for every millimeter larger than it. You figure it out yourself.”

Xiao Kun smiled and said: "It's funny, I can't afford him."

As he said that, he pointed at the biggest one in front of Mo Qiong.

Mo Qiong was stunned, looking at the small pearl and then at the one in his hand.

There is at least a 30mm difference in specifications between the two.

Mo Qiong said in shock: "One millimeter twice as big? What about me...three million?"

"Huh? Three million? Then I'll buy it!" Xiao Kun said hurriedly.

Mo Qiong looked at him and knew it was more than three million.

However, if it's troublesome to sell it, it's not a bad idea to sell it to this group of rich second generations. It doesn't matter if it's cheaper.

Zhang He glared at Xiao Kun and smiled at Mo Qiong: "He was joking. What I just mentioned were the specifications for making jewelry. Your extra-large one is different. It belongs to the category of collectibles. If it is auctioned, it will cost six hundred No problem at all.”

Mo Qiong took a deep breath and said, "Six million will be sold to you, will you buy it?"

Zhang He was stunned and said: "Do you really want to take action? If we go to auction, it could be higher, it just depends on whether there is a suitable buyer."

"If you want it, I'll sell it to you directly. After that, it's up to you whether you want to auction it or collect it yourself." Mo Qiong said.

For him, six million is enough. He knew that if it were auctioned, he might not get the money for a long time. After all, the auction house had to publicize and prepare for a long time.

Zhang He smiled and said: "It's no problem for me to accept it. I will never lose money anyway. Just think about it."

"I've thought about it, take it if you want it." Mo Qiong acted like a vegetable seller.

At this time, Xiao Kun suddenly said: "In this case, I also want six million, and I will give you the money when I return home."

Zhang He smiled and said: "He sold it to me, I didn't say I wouldn't accept it."

"Seven million, I want it."

Xiao Kun rolled his eyes and said, "Are you sick? What price are you asking me for here?"

Zhang He smiled and just said: "What can I say, if you want it, you can pay 7 million, and I won't want it."

Xiao Kun hesitated for a moment and then said: "Okay, I'll take the seven million. However, you owe him a favor, just give him the money. Why are you harming me?"

Mo Qiong was stunned, everyone could see that Zhang He just helped him lift one million in one sentence.

Zhang He smiled and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. This is not a return of favor. I treat you as your friend and don't want you to suffer a loss."

"To tell you the truth, he can definitely make a profit by taking away these seven million pearls."

Mo Qiong asked: "Why, he must be able to find a good buyer?"

Zhang He said: "It doesn't matter if you can't find it. His family owns an auction house. The price didn't reach the psychological level, so he just paid 10 million to buy it."

"After a period of time, his family will send someone to take out this thing to take pictures. If it doesn't work, he will take it back and hide it himself."

"I come here once every year. If I do it twice, the price will go up. In the end, someone will definitely take over. Don't worry, it has been brewing for a long time. Sooner or later, his family will make money back."

p.s: Once you have money, you need to start contacting the outside world...
