Chapter 236 Whale Grandma Rewards the Baby Again
Seeing Ye Sihai asking, the old lady wagged her tail:
"I don't know either. I picked it up a few days ago. I thought it was beautiful, so I kept it and gave it to you."
Under the perception of the Heart of the Ocean, Ye Sihai found that it was a shell.
It was about 45 centimeters in diameter, a standard cone, with sharp edges and corners.
The top was pointed, but the shell mouth was very large, especially the first circle had a crack that surrounded the entire shell.
The crack was even and slender, as if it was sawed by hand.
The whole shell has three colors, the shell mouth is milky white, the shell is yellow, and there are flame-like red lines.
Okay.
Ye Sihai didn't recognize it at all.
This thing is too beautiful.
It must be a good ornament at home.
The only problem is...!
The old lady's mouth is too smelly.
Ye Sihai couldn't help vomiting from a distance.
The dirty work was left to Liu Hanhan.
There was no way, Ye Sihai was so cruel.
He had no awareness of exploiting child labor.
Liu Hanhan was so happy.
He jumped directly into the mouth of the old woman's sperm whale, grabbed it and climbed onto the speedboat.
After washing it clean, Ye Sihai exclaimed:
"It's so beautiful."
He lifted the shell up.
Qin Yuan and others shook their heads.
They didn't know it either.
Gu Zhiqiang, however, widened his eyes and stared at the big shell.
He grinned and racked his brains, which immediately attracted Ye Sihai's attention.
"Brother Gu, do you know it?"
Gu Zhiqiang waved his hands repeatedly:
"Don't talk, let me think about it."
Everyone on the speedboat was shocked by his appearance.
Could it be...!
What kind of treasure is this?
Gu Zhiqiang thought about it for a long time, and finally looked at Ye Sihai with a very strange look.
I don't know if it's jealousy or envy.
Ye Sihai was immediately happy.
There's a way.
This thing must be a treasure.
He couldn't help but toss it in his hand.
Gu Zhiqiang was almost scared to pee.
He yelled and rushed over, not caring about the stench, hugged it in his arms, and looked like he was disappointed with his son:
"You're a spendthrift, this thing is worth at least 10 million... No! It may be priceless!"
Qin Yuan, Chen Youtian, and Uncle Liang looked at each other.
They were all shocked.
Yu Ying was also shocked.
A shell is worth 10 million?
Are you kidding?
"Let's go, let's go back first."
Gu Zhiqiang didn't care about anything else and urged him repeatedly.
Ye Sihai didn't bother to care about him either, and told Qin Yuan to drive him ashore in a speedboat.
He rode a motorboat and quickly turned around Crescent Bay.
He sent away the street guys like Gray and invited Grandma Whale back.
He then told Xiao Hui and the other little guys.
Seeing that there was no problem, Ye Sihai asked Uncle Liang to drive the feeding station back to the dock.
Uncle Liang would be responsible for the feeding station in the future.
The four frigatebirds were not idle either.
The four guys, Ada, had nothing to do these days, and they actually started to clearly divide the work and began to lure female birds to come here to nest.
They had good food and a super villa to live in. What else could they ask for? The two-legged beasts would satisfy them one by one.
Ladies, please come and learn about it.
Look at the conditions here. Isn’t it better than your nests built with dry branches on a deserted island, which are leaky on all sides and have other birds stealing eggs?
This is paradise.
Let’s go back with your brother.
In the future, we will have a nest of little ones, and the two-legged beasts will be responsible for sending them to school.
What those ocean street scooters can enjoy, we can too.
When Ye Sihai returned to the cabin, Gu Zhiqiang had already washed the big snail shell clean.
He kept holding it in his arms with a silly smile on his face.
Ye Sihai...!
Mayor Gu, you look so ignorant.
It’s embarrassing.
When Gu Zhiqiang saw him, he said excitedly:
"Brother, you got it, did you know?"
Ye Sihai rolled his eyes:
"Why are you so excited when I got it?"
Mayor Gu...!
Suddenly, the treasure in his arms didn't smell good anymore.
Yes.
This isn't his.
So angry!
He curled his lips with a depressed look and said:
"I saw this thing in the museum when I went to Qindao for a trip more than ten years ago."
"Museum?"
Ye Sihai felt a little uneasy.
Many things in the ocean are prohibited from being caught by law.
It's a bit confusing.
In the summer, I encountered a giant clam fossil, and I went through a lot of trouble to get it safely in my pocket.
Could this big snail shell be a treasure of the same level as the giant clam?
Ye Sihai was embarrassed.
How come he is also a cheater.
Or the Heart of the Ocean.
Isn't he as knowledgeable about marine life as Mayor Gu?
It's embarrassing.
"This treasure is called Longgong Wengrong Snail."
Ye Sihai and others were confused.
What a weird name.
Neither Ye Sihai nor Qin Yuan had ever seen it, let alone heard of it.
"This kind of snail is distributed in the South Asian waters. We also have it in the South China Sea, but it is extremely rare."
Gu Zhiqiang gave everyone a popular science lesson.
It was obvious that he secretly checked the information on his mobile phone.
This kind of snail has always lived in the deep sea.
It can't be said to be precious.
But...very precious.
Plus the fact that the number is pitifully small, it is not only beautiful and rare, but also has a high scientific research value.
There are very few species on the earth that are exactly the same as they were 500 million or 600 million years ago.
But this big snail is.
So it is also called a living fossil of the ocean.
"So far, there are no more than 200 alive in the world, and as for the snail shells, there are only more than 100."
Gu Zhiqiang was shocked:
"Moreover, the largest diameter recorded is only 25 cm, and the transaction price is 3 million US dollars."
"Your one, with a diameter of 45 cm, is unique in the world."
Ye Sihai swallowed secretly.
Grandma, I love you to death.
How many treasures are there in your mouth?
Your big mouth is simply a treasure bag.
Gu Zhiqiang was afraid that Ye Sihai would not believe it, so he took out his mobile phone and turned it over for him:
"See for yourself."
Ye Sihai suppressed his excitement and started to read it.
You don't know until you see it, it's true.
This thing is even more precious than what Gu Zhiqiang said.
The earliest record can be traced back to more than a hundred years ago, when the transaction price reached 10,000 pounds.
This is a record that can be checked.
The most recent transaction was a natural museum in North America that bought a snail shell from a collector for 1.13 million US dollars.
But this snail shell is only 18 centimeters in diameter, and the long shell is broken.
It is conceivable that the super-large snail shell with a diameter of more than 45 centimeters in Ye Sihai's hand is worth much.
It is far more than 10 million.
"Damn it!"
Ye Sihai even spit out a swear word in the Minhai dialect.
Qin Yuan and Chen Youtian were even more moved.
The young boss is going to heaven.
I don't know where he kidnapped a sperm whale.
It's ambergris and a big snail shell.
Just because he gave the old whale some cod liver and fish oil?
This deal is done...!
Okay.
It can't be called a deal.
The young boss was kind-hearted and took care of the old whale in his later years, so the old whale gave the boss a reward.
Yeah!
That's right!
We are not jealous at all.
