The price of black gold abalone depends on life or death first.

They have very good vitality. After leaving the water, they can survive in a professional storage box for about two days. The price of a living black gold abalone is twice as expensive as a dead black gold abalone.

Generally speaking, when people catch black gold abalone, they first quickly put it in the storage box and then take it to the market within 24 hours. There are buyers here constantly looking for black gold abalone, which is very easy to sell.

This is the first time that the price is set. As long as it is a living black gold abalone, it can be sold for at least 500 US dollars.

Five hundred dollars is the basic price, and the middle-aged man wants to buy Li Du’s abalone at the basic price, but this is a dream.

Next, let’s look at the size and weight. According to the Fisheries and Hunting Bureau, black gold abalone must reach at least 5 inches, or 5 cm in length before they can be sent to the market.

In fact, not only are there such big guys in the market, but also small ones, but they are all sold in the black market.

Once it enters the black market, the black gold abalone is worthless. The black market is full of monsters and monsters, and they will do their best to reduce the price to obtain profit margins.

Abalone between 5 inches and 6 inches is the same price, and it is basically not a centimeter longer, and the basic price can be increased by 100 yuan.

Starting from 6 inches, 6 inches to 7 inches is another price. For every extra centimeter of length, the basic price can be increased by 200 yuan.

Black gold abalone with a height of 7 inches or more is very valuable and rare. One can often sell for tens of thousands of yuan.

The reason for this is that 7-inch black gold abalones have often lived for hundreds of years. Being able to live for so long means that they live in a unique place and abundant food.

Black Golden Abalone is a very lazy life. As long as the water quality is fine and the food is fine, they will definitely not change the living area and will continue to live there.

If you have lived in a place for hundreds of years, you will basically grow there, and there will be no difference from the surrounding environment.

In this case, it is impossible to use tools to catch abalone, and it is almost impossible to find such abalone.

In fact, an abalone does not have the value of more than 10,000 Australian dollars. It has been speculated in recent years. In addition, a large number of wealthy people have emerged in East Asia and the Middle East. They like to eat these novel things, which has led to a market where the price of a century-old black gold abalone remains high.

In addition to length, black gold abalone has another measurement standard, that is, the mass-diameter ratio, the ratio of mass and diameter. This mass is the weight of impurities deducted from the shell.

This ratio reflects the fullness of the meat of the black gold abalone. Obviously, the higher the proportion, the more the meat is, the higher the price.

The abalones in Li Du are basically around 6 inches, with full flesh, each worth 2,000 yuan. In order to protect the vitality of the abalone, he did not even remove impurities from the shell.

Hearing the price he quoted, the middle-aged man suddenly widened his eyes: "Two thousand dollars?! Man, this is a crazy price, no one will pay such a price!"

Li Du shrugged and said, "I want someone to recognize the goods, he will be willing to pay the money."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You are too optimistic. OK, don't you sell it for 500 yuan? I dare to swear, what I give you is the market price. If you want to sell it for 2,000 yuan, unless you fly directly to Europe, East Asia or the Middle East and sell it to the Source Hotel."

Not to mention 500 yuan, Li Du won’t sell it for 1,500 yuan.

The middle-aged man reluctantly increased the price and asked him if he would sell it for one thousand yuan.

He could see the value of these abalones, which were all famous abalones of good quality, and they could make a lot of money by selling them.

Li Du bit two thousand yuan to death, and the middle-aged man was so angry that he left.

Later, someone came to inquire. When they heard Li Du’s offer, they couldn’t accept it and left one after another.

People kept persuading Li Du to sell these abalones: "Look, they have been away from the water for a while, right? They are about to die. Once they die, you can't even sell them for 200 yuan."

Li Du said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Come and see, I have a cat and a dog. If the abalone dies, I can give it to them."

He waited in the market for more than an hour. Under the scorching sun, more and more people came and went to the market. People had gone for lunch before.

Li Du finally welcomed the real buyer. This is a man with a big beard and serious face. He came up to look at his abalone and asked, "Can I pick it up and try the texture?"

"Yes, sir."

The Arab rolled up his sleeves and looked at them one by one, and asked, "How do you plan to sell the abalone here?"

Li Du said: "Each 2,000 yuan is 22. If I buy it together, I can sell you the total price of 40,000 yuan."

The Arabian said: "If the mass-diameter ratio can reach 120, I will buy them all, can I test it?"

After hearing this, Li Du knew that this was a big customer.

The mass-diameter ratio is the ratio of mass to diameter. The mass is a unit of grams and the diameter is an inch. Generally speaking, a 5-inch black gold abalone can grow to 600 grams, which is a plump type.

Li Du nodded, and the Arabs brought two subordinates, who carried gadgets with them. The two carefully tapped the abalone's shell and removed all the impurities attached to it.

It’s like polishing a diamond, removing impurities and washing it with clean water, and the beautiful shell of the black golden abalone will reveal its true face.

And this is not its ultimate form. The shell of the black gold abalone can be polished like jewelry. They absorb calcium carbonate from the sea water to create layers of ultra-thin pearly to form the inner wall.

In this case, the color and luster of their shells are not comparable to other abalones. In recent years, these shells have even begun to be used to make high-end jewelry, and are expensive.

After some measurement, the two subordinates came up with a form and handed it to the Arab man.

The man glanced and smiled, saying, "Okay, I'll buy all forty thousand yuan."

One of his two subordinates gave Li Du some money, the other one took care of these black gold abalones, and handed over the money and the other handed over the goods.

After getting the 40,000 yuan, Li Du snapped his fingers and said, "Pack up the things, let's go and go to the island to take a look."

When it comes to fishing for black golden abalone, Jindao is a place that cannot be avoided. The surrounding waters here are vast and vast, with complex undersea terrain and scattered with undersea volcanoes.

The undersea volcanic area is the favorite place for Black Golden Abalone to survive. These places are rich in minerals necessary for their survival and are also rich in aquatic plants and seaweeds.

When they leave the market, they have to find a place to have lunch and wash their bodies.

After staying in the market for a while, Li Du felt that she was already smelly!

There are many places to eat on the island, and there are many seafood, big crabs, and lobsters. Just like eating a buffet, you can give the owner a hundred yuan to eat.

However, Godzilla and Dao brought by Li Du were big, and the owner raised the price to 200 yuan, saying that he could eat whatever he wanted for 200 yuan.

Li Du asked, "Really? Can I eat each of my two guys at will for two hundred yuan?"

The boss nodded: "Yes, yes."

Li Du waved: "Do it!"
