Eleven clams, fifteen big pearls, this trip to Jiangsu and Zhejiang has achieved fruitful results.
On the shore of the lake, Dong Xuebin, who had lost his back, stopped paying attention to them opening clams. He lowered his head to sort out his own Pearl Clam. This small net bag was not big enough, so he asked the worker next to him to ask for a larger one. He carefully packed the eleven clams and looked back at the boss and others. Dong Xuebin was not in a hurry to leave, but waited patiently for them to open clams. My purpose is to collect a string of pearl necklaces and put them up for auction, so as to maximize my profits. Otherwise, if I sell these fifteen scattered pearls alone, I will make a lot less money, which will not meet my expectation of making a million at once.
Not long after, the boss got tired from opening clams, so he sat on the lawn to rest.
Dong Xuebin paid attention to the bag specially filled with high-grade Golden Pearl, Chapter 119 [I got a string of pearl necklaces!] (Fourth update!) I have accumulated a lot of good stuff.
"Young man." After taking a sip of mineral water, the boss looked at him sideways and asked, "Did you give me the money first?" The poor harvest of the high-quality Golden Pearl made him not in a good mood. Logically speaking, shouldn't the 1.4cm Golden Pearl be this small? Is it all in this kid's clam? Thinking about it, it's impossible. Local insiders don't know much about clams. How would a layman know which clam contains good beads? The Power of Time and Wealth 119
Dong Xuebin was about to say what he was about to say, and said, "Have you counted them just now? There are eleven clams in total, Six of Wan six thousand yuan, um, by the way, I also want some finished pearls, yes, they come out of the bag." Dong Xuebin pointed, "How can I sell one of these 1.5 cm Golden Pearl?"
The boss put down the mineral water bottle, "It also depends on the gloss and roundness."
Dong Xuebin walked over and picked up one that was about 1.5cm, "What about this one?"
"The market price of this kind is 40,000 yuan. If you don't charge me a formality and a stall fee, I'll give it to you... 35,000 yuan."
"Okay, then I'll pick a few more."
Dong Xuebin's total belongings are 440,000, and he brought them all, except for the money Six of Wan spent to buy clams. Chapter 119 [I got a string of pearl necklaces! ] (fourth update!), and still had more than 370,000 to spend, so he asked about the price, bargained, and screened his favorite Golden Pearl. Finally, he selected ten 1.5cm and five 1.4cm pearls. Together with the pearls in his clam, there were exactly thirty pearls, which was just enough to string a large pearl necklace.
The boss calculated silently. "Total... four hundred and forty thousand."
Dong Xuebin said, "Just wipe off the fraction."
"Can't erase it, 441,000."
A thousand dollars is not enough? Dong Xuebin glanced at him sideways, not bothering to talk anymore. He took the password box out of the bag, twisted the combination and opened the box. He took out his wallet from his pocket and counted out a thousand dollars. "There are 440,000 yuan in the box. This is one thousand. Count it yourself." The money was basically spent. There was more than 2,000 yuan left in the wallet, and there was not much left in the bank card from last month's salary. Phew, this necklace is now all assets.
The boss took Dong Xuebin back to Office Building to go to the banknote detector.
After the transaction, Dong Xuebin took a taxi and found a hotel with an empty box in one hand and Pearl Clam in the other.
Dong Xuebin didn't dare to look for a hotel that was too high-end. Firstly, he didn't have enough money, so he could save whatever he could. Secondly, the fishing net bag was dripping with mud, and Pearl Clam was also covered in mud. He probably wouldn't be allowed to enter a star-rated hotel, so he chose an old hotel with only three floors and a cheap place with faded brands. In this way, he even got a look from the waiter.
After finding a room with a bathroom, Dong Xuebin poured Pearl Clam into the sink without taking a breath.
Instead of buying a kitchen knife, Dong Xuebin started to pick at the gap in the clam shell with difficulty, and after a long time of effort, he opened it with a click - a 1.6cm pearl, a 1.1cm pearl, two 1.0cm pearls, and five 0.7cm pearls came out. Dong Xuebin picked out the 1.6cm Golden Pearl and put it away, while the other pearls of inferior quality were put aside alone.
Another clam...
The third clam...
The fifth clam...
After a while, all fifteen Golden Pearls came out. Dong Xuebin carried them to the house with a happy face, and poured the finished pearls he bought on the bed, and arranged thirty pearls in a circle to form the shape of a necklace. If it were ordinary small pearls, let alone thirty or sixty would not make up a necklace, at most a bracelet. But these beads, all over 1.4cm in diameter, were enough, and the diameters were there.

Looking left and right, Dong Xuebin was so happy that he wanted to say "beautiful", but he couldn't say it.
Because these beads... are not that beautiful, they always feel like there is a film on them, and they are dirty and bald.
Oh, right, right, Dong Xuebin suddenly remembered that these pearls are not yet finished products. Pearls freshly cut out of clams still need to go through a polishing process - the kind of process where old corn cobs are rolled and rolled in a pot similar to sugar-fried chestnuts. The luster and color of the pearls will be perfect. Yes, let's process them, punch holes and make them into necklaces, and then directly participate in the auction.
Putting the pearls into the lockbox one by one, Dong Xuebin quickly walked out the door.
Zhuji is known as the hometown of freshwater pearls. There are many places for processing pearls, and I found one right away.
In the not-so-large Office Building on the second floor, Dong Xuebin was led by the staff to find the person in charge of the processing business. He opened the lockbox straight to the point, "I want to polish these and make them into necklaces. Well, how much does it cost? How long does it take?"
The person in charge was startled, "Hey, they are all top-grade beads. You must have spent a million to collect them, right?"
Dong Xuebin said vaguely, "Absolutely."
"Haha, after so many years of business, this is the first time I have encountered so many 1.5 centimeters. Well, this will take some work, and the price may be a bit more expensive." The person in charge thought for a moment, "I still need to make a necklace. Well, well, the processing fee is 5,000, and it will take about three or four days to wait."
Dong Xuebin didn't have that much money, nor that much time. He touched his nose and threw out another large bag of pearls from the lockbox. "I still have a hundred good pearls here. Although the quality is not as good as those thirty pearls, they are still worth fifteen thousand. Use this to offset the processing fee, but I have a request. I know that polishing and processing will not take three days. Can you hurry up and speed up the work? I want to see the necklace tonight."
After some haggling, Dong Xuebin not only gave him a hundred pearls, but also added a thousand yuan.
Wait, wait, wait...
That night.
A string of sparkling and alluring pearl necklace finally appeared in front of Dong Xuebin.
Beautiful
so beautiful
Before coming to Zhuji, Dong Xuebin saw the pearl necklace being auctioned online for more than 900,000 yuan, but it was White Pearl, which was a little worse than my Golden Pearl necklace, and the average diameter of the pearls in my necklace was a little larger than that one.
One million
I'll definitely make a million this time.
