I saw a round and shiny pearl squeezed out from the clam flesh. The size was definitely more than ten millimeters, maybe even eleven or twelve millimeters. It was light pink, with a soft luster but still dazzling. It was pleasing to look at. I don't understand.
Anyone with pearls can guess that they are worth a lot of money.
Lin Mo carefully picked it up and looked at it. The true color of the pearl was light pink, but under the light it showed a beautiful halo, showing at least three or more interference colors, which was extremely beautiful.
Lin Mo looked over it several times and found no flaws. This quality, let alone natural pearls, may not be able to select many of this quality among the vast amount of cultured pearls in later generations.
Lin Mo reluctantly handed the pearl to a few people to appreciate, and said: "It's not too late to buy a good product! This is a top-notch product, be careful, don't hurt me!"
Zhang Jingmin took it first, looked at it and played with it for a while before passing it to others. He took out the pearl he had drawn and looked at it twice before turning around and continuing on his way.
"Shopkeeper, do we want to change now?" Lin Mo joked when seeing the pearl passed to Xu Guyu's hands.
"Okay~" Xu Guyu didn't follow common sense and made a move to put away the pearl. Lin Mo was quick and stretched out his middle finger and index finger, pinched it from Xu Guyu's hand and put the pearl back into his pocket.
"Hey, shopkeeper, it's just a joke! How can you take it seriously?" Hui
"You dare to take advantage of me?" Xu Guyu pretended to be angry and poked Lin Mo between the eyebrows with his finger.
"I have a big product~" Zhang Jingmin shouted excitedly, and several people were attracted over. They saw Zhang Jingmin touching the bulge. Judging from the appearance of the bulge, it was also irregular, but the bulge was very large and square in shape.
The previous team members’ bulges were still half as big.
Seeing the crowd gathered around, Zhang Jingmin happily opened the mouth and squeezed hard, but after looking at it for a while, he found that something was wrong. No matter how hard Zhang Jingmin squeezed from which angle, the pearl would never come out.
"Use a knife to remove the mussel meat! I guess the shells are still attached."
Zhang Jingmin heard this and doubtfully cut off the shell of the clam. No surprise, a large square and irregular pearl grew together with the shell of the clam.
"It's really unlucky~" Zhang Jingmin threw the clam shell aside in annoyance. Just now he saw how Lin Mo was gloating about his misfortune, and now he felt so uncomfortable. He could drive as many pearls as he could, but they were either too small or crooked. It was difficult to open them.
It's a big one, and it's even attached to the shell.
"Why did you throw it away?" Lin Mo felt heartbroken and quickly picked up the clam shell. After carefully checking that it was not damaged, he breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at the pearl that was connected to the clam shell.
The pearls are square in shape, slightly wider and thinner than sugar cubes. One side has been integrated with the clam shell. The whole body is mainly pure white, with a small amount of light yellow, light purple and other light colors mixed in. The overall gloss has also reached common standards.
The damaged mantle revealed the silvery-white inner layer of the clam shell underneath. The quality of the clam shell was not bad, giving it a vague texture like a porcelain glaze, and it also reflected a faint glow. I don't know if it was due to water or something else.
No matter what debris affects it, but if it is cleaned and it still has this effect, it is a big plus.
"Although the pearl and the clam shell are integrated into one, such a large natural freshwater pearl cannot be described as rare. In addition, the texture of the inner layer of the clam shell is also very good. Find someone to clean the outer layer of the shell and then polish it.
If you put it up on a shelf, it will be a high-quality ornament."
"How much is it worth?" Hearing what Lin Mo said, the gloom on Zhang Jingmin's face suddenly cleared away, and he excitedly asked the price.
"Can you say that it's old money but not expensive? Although price is the most intuitive criterion to measure the quality of an item, don't you think it's too mediocre to be old money but not expensive?"
"Hehe... I don't think so... just say it's not worth the money..."
Originally, Lin Mo wanted to moisturize the field first and get a vaccination, but since the opponent was already mentally prepared, he simply took the plunge.
"There is no doubt that the stuff is good, but it is estimated that it will not fetch a good price in China at present. If we can find suitable channels and buyers abroad, we will probably fetch a lot."
"That's quite troublesome. Do you have to go abroad?" Zhang Jingmin frowned. He didn't have much hope at first. He didn't expect it would be worth some money, but it was too troublesome.
"It's easy to get it abroad. The trouble is finding the right channels and buyers, and the middlemen and buyers must be reliable, otherwise you will be tricked without negotiation."
Lin Mo explained a few words before continuing: "Channels, buyers, and trustworthy people can all solve it, but I don't recommend you to do so. After all, you should not be short of money now.
It's better for you to collect this thing and pass it on! When the market gets better someday in the future, you can package it, hype it, and promote it. Because of its scarcity, you can even say it is unique to a certain extent.
If the market is good and the market is willing to accept this thing, plus some operation, if you are lucky, your pension money can be covered, and if you are lucky, it is entirely possible for you to be free and comfortable in your later years."
"Really?" Zhang Jingmin's face lit up with joy. Well, he was the last of the Four Gentlemen. He kept making small movements on his hands. Lin Mo didn't notice, and the thing returned to his hand.
…
After opening the remaining medium-sized clams, several people are not loading clams. Firstly, the remaining fish have almost passed through the water, and it is time for them to work. Secondly, they cannot eat all the clams alone, they must be given.
Leave some for other brothers.
Because the carriage that Xu Guyu drove earlier was also free, the two vehicles together transported all the remaining fish in a few trips, and then loaded the opened clam shells into the truck and transported them to feed the fish.
Normally, we should stop feeding the fish for a few days before feeding, so as not to overwhelm the fish's stomach. However, seeing that the fish was so lively and stirred the water so much, we simply fed the opened clams directly.
They are.
Several people sorted the remaining small clams, snails and shrimps into categories and put them into the water tank where the fish were previously held. They were kept in a row on the aisle outside the fish pond and kept for later feeding to the fish.
When a few people returned to the goods yard after their busy work, Lin Wenhua and others had already come out. Some were smoking, drinking water and eating some fruits, some were washing and changing clothes in the corner, and of course, most of them gathered together to open clams in the river.
This chapter is not over yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading! Several people drove the car over and brought a few boxes for them to put the opened clams in. Then they dispersed. Zhang Jingmin took out the pearls he opened and shared them with the others.
Bragging, the team members returned to their companions and commanders, giving instructions on how to do it.
Lin Mo and Liu Zhenshan were still together. They went over to finish the odd job for today, but they didn't leave after getting their wages. Instead, they gathered around the open clam to watch the fun, and even took out the pearls they picked up and asked Lin Mo to help them look at them.
look.
There were quite a few picked up, and although the overall quality was much worse than what was sold, there were some of good quality, but the quantity was too small, and none of good quality.
Several of them wanted to give him a hand. Lin Mo picked a pair of white pearls of about 6 mm. The luster and color were very ordinary and nothing eye-catching. Lin Mo was not sure about the market price, so he roughly estimated that they cost two.
Dimes.
At first, the man didn't want to sell, but Lin Mo didn't care. He didn't have much intention to buy. He mainly considered that he didn't want these people to arrange things outside, so he casually set the price.
However, seeing that Lin Mo didn't even negotiate the price, this guy changed his mind and sold it. In addition to this pair, Lin Mo also received a small one that was similar in size, color and appearance to Zhang Jingmin's, thinking of giving it to the old man.
Zhang's pair is a pair, and the quality is slightly better than Lin Mo's pair, but inferior to Lao Zhang's pair.
Finally, everyone helped each other and pulled out the clam shells to feed the fish at once. It was getting late and the sky was already dark. Everyone cleaned up and figured out where to go. Lin Wenhua had already arranged the rest of the work.
Responsible for follow-up processing.
As soon as he got out of the car after returning to the yard, a figure came to the car. The face was a little unfamiliar, and the light was a little dim. Lin Mo didn't recognize him for a while. It was Liu Zhenshan who spoke, and Lin Mo recognized him as Captain Shen of the second team.
"Old Shen, why are you here?"
"We're looking for the section chief! Isn't Section Chief Xu back yet?"
"Not yet. The section chief has something to deal with. It will probably take some time. Do you have anything important to do with the section chief?"
"I received a mission today to investigate a suspect in the city. Something happened and I need to report and handle it immediately.
But Team Leader Lin was out, and the team didn’t know when he would be back. Team Leader Zhang had official business and couldn’t be contacted for the time being. I thought I’d report to the Section Chief first, but I didn’t want the Section Chief not to be here either. I’d already been waiting for a long time.
, are ready to think of other solutions."
"Section Chief Xu and Team Leader Lin have gone back to the team to handle some official business. If you really can't wait, you can go back to the team and take a look."
"Okay, I'll go back then."
"Captain Shen..." Shen Song said and was about to leave, but Lin Mo quickly stopped him.
"Captain Shen, if the official business needs Section Chief Xu to handle it personally, then you may have to go back quickly. Section Chief Xu is just going back to sign some documents and may not stay for long. If the Section Chief comes back, he may have to make several trips back. By the way.
, are you coming by car? If necessary, our car can take you there."
"Thank you. The car is parked not far away. Just let it take me there. I won't chat with you if I'm pressed for time. We'll chat when I have time."
Seeing Shen Song hurriedly getting into the car and leaving, Lin Mo frowned slightly and was stunned for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
It was already dark, but Lin Mo's office and study room was still brightly lit. A foreign language book was half-open on the desk in front of him, ready for anyone to read. Unfortunately, its owner had not turned the pages for a long time.
"Buzz..." A car engine buzzed. Lin Mo stood up and opened the door to the room. Liu Zhenshan, who was in the room next to him, also did the same thing. The two looked at each other and walked towards the yard tacitly.
"You two haven't rested yet?" Xu Guyu, who had just gotten off the car, spoke up when he saw Lin Mo and the other two coming out.
Hearing this, Lin Mo replied: "We met Captain Shen when we came back. He said that the operation failed. We were worried about an emergency, so we kept waiting."
"The operation is basically over. I don't think you need to take action. Let's go inside and introduce the situation to you two. One of you is involved in this case, and the other has reached the level of knowledge. You can roughly describe the situation. Let me convey this to you two."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhenshan showed a bit of surprise on his face. Although some things were basically certain, he still couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the affirmative answer.
Glancing at Lin Mo gratefully, Liu Zhenshan quickly followed Xu Guyu's footsteps and entered Section Chief Xu's office.
The case was the case in the archives that Lin Mo and Yang Haicheng had encountered before. The Intelligence Department adopted Lin Mo's suggestion and adopted relatively favorable conditions to reverse the rebellion of the internal spies who were instigated, coerced or bribed by the Japanese spies, in order to destroy the spies. and the purpose of establishing trust among Japanese espionage agencies.
After a day of publicity and mobilization at the Nanjing headquarters, a Zhejiang police graduate who was in a similar situation to the two in the archives took the initiative to surrender. In addition, branches in other places that could be contacted in time also carried out similar work with the headquarters and achieved a lot. Achievements.
In Guangzhou, an intelligence agent who was coerced by a Japanese spy for his own mistakes voluntarily surrendered, confessed that he provided or assisted the spy to obtain information, and assisted in the capture of a carrier pigeon who contacted him, and captured a government official who was bribed by the spy. Officials are currently conducting further investigation, interrogation and arrest work.
At the same time, in Hong Kong, not far from Guangzhou, a major field officer surrendered. He was paid heavily by the Japanese espionage agency. He provided intelligence to the Japanese espionage agency, allowing many spies to escape the surveillance and investigation of the local intelligence agency. He also smuggled goods locally for the Japanese espionage agency. , Providing cover, information, channels and other assistance for the acquisition of tungsten sand and other important military materials.
This guy is very greedy. Under normal circumstances, I would be sure to feed him peanuts. Now, in a bribed situation like this, even if the conditions are good, the reward will not be too high. No punishment is already considered preferential treatment.
But this guy is very smart and has a clear mind. He knows what the intelligence office needs now. Not only did he take the initiative to surrender, he also wrote a copy of his thoughts before surrendering.
What I was thinking was not a confession like crying and shouting that I was wrong, nor was it an excusing statement about how I had no choice but to express my own interests and interests.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This guy directly stated in the article that this incident will destroy the pitiful trust between people like them and the Japanese invaders. In the future, there will inevitably be suspicion, suspicion, and wariness between the two. Instead of having their own secrets and working hard but not getting any results, it is better to take advantage of this good opportunity to sell the other party in exchange for some benefits.
Although he will have to bear the label of a traitor in the future, at least he will not have to worry about his life, and his position and safety will be guaranteed. After all, if he does this kind of thing, he will not get much power and credit in the future. After all, if he does this kind of thing,
It’s impossible to give you any more trust.
But rights and merit are not necessarily all benefits. These are often linked to danger. People like us don’t have to worry about being sent to dangerous places and losing our lives. We can wear the hat of the Intelligence Service and sit in the position of the Intelligence Service with peace of mind.
, receiving a salary from the Intelligence Service and enjoying life with peace of mind.
Don't worry that the Intelligence Department will change its mind. The Intelligence Department wants to destroy the trust foundation between the traitors and the enemy. Our existence will become the biggest obstacle between them and will also be a way out for our brothers who will face the enemy directly in the future. The Intelligence Department cannot
I dug the foundation myself.
This guy's remarks were more explicit than those made by the Intelligence Office. Although the Intelligence Office meant the same thing, it was still half-hidden, so it was more tactful.
However, this kind of naked and explicit effect will obviously be better. It is not convenient for the Intelligence Department to point out, so it is just right for him to do this job. The Intelligence Department simply listed him as the second benchmark, his behavior, handling, and that short essay.
Promote directly.
This was also done for consideration. Firstly, his position and official rank were higher than those of Zhao Zhongshi; secondly, his actions were worse. Although it was shameful, it could dispel some people's concerns and deal with the thunder hidden inside.
For example, these are already established facts. If we really need to settle accounts, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future after we drive away the enemy.
