The world is what it is.

Where there is wealth there is poverty.

Resources are fixed, but allocation is not necessarily fixed.

Shen Yu just listened for a moment, and then he stepped out of the branch door.

As soon as I stepped out the door.

He saw a completely different scene from the vibrant one in the company.

There are many people wandering the streets.

Those people were lifeless, their eyes were numb, and they looked like walking corpses.

They seemed very busy and everyone was in a hurry.

They are very thin, and all of them have some unhealthy characteristics.

There was a group of people guarding the door of the branch, staring into the company with longing and penetrating eyes.

For those employees inside who are beautifully dressed and have a very good mental outlook, their eyes are very complicated.

It's full of desire, but also a hint of subtle jealousy.

Why, they are all from the same country.

Why are we still suffering outside, while these people have been saved?

With a decent job that pays well, can you support your whole family?

But they still had to go out to sea to fish so exhaustingly that they were all tanned by the sun. After paying the high fishing tax, the fish they caught were stripped layer by layer, and only a handful of them were left.

Obviously those people inside were originally the same as them.

The same suffering, the same lack of future.

It would be great if I was the one who joined this company.

At the beginning, they should not have seen that this was a foreign company. They felt that the company was not stable and had no knowledge that it could not make money, so they did not apply for the job.

Give them another chance and they will never give up this life-changing opportunity.

Shen Yu walked out of the door.

Those people were disturbed by unknown forces and could not see him at all.

In other words, the eyes saw him, but the brain sent signals to him, that is, he was just a cloud and a ball of air, with no passers-by worth paying attention to.

Therefore, everyone invariably ignored the great living person Shen Yu.

Even Shen Yu's attire is very unusual in the eyes of local residents.

This time he wore a cloak. The white-gold cloak covered his figure, and the wide and fluffy hat also blocked his eyes.

Shen Yu wore a piece of platinum Mask on his face, covering the lower half of his face.

Such a strange outfit blends into the city like air.

No one noticed him walking down the street.

Haierderi is close to the sea, and most of it is close to the coast.

The sea breeze carried the salty and humid smell to the shore, and this smell could be smelled in almost the entire city.

If you remove the noisy human voices and listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of waves lapping against the rocks.

Shen Yu arrived at the port where many fishing boats were moored.

There are many people here lowering their anchors, docking on the shore, and transporting boxes after boxes of seafood.

The fish inside are very fat, and there are also some more delicious seafood, such as crabs, octopus, lobsters, etc.

Shen Yu saw many stalls next to Haikou, with many freshly caught seafood on them.

However, the people around me were passing by in a hurry without even looking at these seafood products.

In this country, almost every household engages in fishing, and these seafood are considered delicacies to people in some inland cities.

But for the local people who are used to seeing and eating it, it is not unusual or precious.

Some businessmen in suits, who looked like they were not locals, came by boat. After they got off the port, they walked towards these stalls.

They chatted to the stall owner, guessed and gestured, and offered a stall of seafood at an extremely low price.

There is no shortage of seafood at this stall, some of which are very valuable.

People around him were not surprised.

The owner of the stall even packed them in boxes with a smile on his face.

Shen Yu squatted in front of a stall.

Shellfish caught from the deep sea are displayed here.

There are some shellfish that are rich in pearls, and the pearls produced by such naturally grown shellfish must be more valuable than those produced artificially.

Shen Yu randomly selected a few and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this?"

The stall owner looked up. He was surprised that he could actually understand what was being said. But soon, he didn't think too much, "This kind of shellfish is rare, and whether you can catch it depends on your luck. It costs one thousand sea baht each."

If calculated using the exchange rate of Xia Currency, it is approximately one Xia Currency and two hundred sea baht.

Five dollars each.

Each of these shellfish are very big, even the smallest one is bigger than a palm.

If it were Xia Kingdom, the price would definitely be tens of dollars.

Shen Yu paid.

He bought six in total, refused the packaging bags provided by the stall owner, and opened them directly at the stall.

The stall owner also fishes for seafood all year round and knows these shellfish very well.

From his actions, he knew that this person was definitely not a local.

Because no local will buy this kind of shellfish, the bigger the meat, the older it tastes. If you have the money, wouldn't it be better to buy more pork, duck, vegetables and fruits?

It must be another foreigner who heard about the rich seafood here and came here to travel and buy things.

Moreover, you probably want to get pearls out of these shells, right?

Although these shellfish can indeed produce pearls, naturally occurring pearls are very rare, and you need luck to find them.

Shen Yu used his hands hard to break open this seemingly very hard shell without using any tools.

The stall owner's hand that was about to hand him the tool froze.

I was amazed in my heart: I am so strong. With this kind of strength, I would be able to do a good job as a net collector on the ship.

Shen Yu After opening the shell in his hand, his fingers touched the shell meat inside, and sure enough he felt a hard object inside.

With a slight exertion on his hand, he dug out the thing.

A round, shiny purple pearl that reflects delicate light appeared in front of the stall owner.

The pearl seemed to be slightly emitting fluorescent light, and looked like a shining pearl in the stall owner's eyes.

A trace of greed and regret flashed in the stall owner's eyes.

If he had not sold these shellfish to this guy, he would have such beautiful pearls. As long as he sells these pearls to those merchants who come often, his family's life will be much easier.

Thinking this, the stall owner looked at the remaining dozen shells placed on his stall.

The surrounding stall owners and businessmen have already seen the situation here.

The businessmen have already gathered around.

They said in a condescending tone, as if they were giving alms. "I'll take care of all your shellfish."
