Chapter 781
Chapter 779 Green Oil
Due to El Niño and global warming, the world’s wild hard corals are facing extinction. Some people even joked that now that some hard corals are raised, 40 may be worth more than gold in the years…
Coral is a strong and fragile creature.
They say that they are strong because they are constantly replicating and splitting. They can survive for thousands of years. The coral reefs formed by the accumulation of bones after death gradually rise, eventually floating out of the sea, forming a string of pearl-like reefs and even islands in the vast sea. For example, the Nansha Islands and the Xisha Islands are composed of coral reefs.
If there is no coral, China’s territorial waters will be much smaller than today.
They are said to be fragile because most of them live in the tropical seas, but they can’t tolerate water temperatures above 30 for a long time, otherwise they will expel the symbiotic zooxanthellae and quickly die to death.
However, the intensification of the greenhouse effect has caused the world’s sea water to heat up, and corals cannot swim to the cool waters to inhabit like fish. It may not be used for 40 years. After 20 years, there will probably be no wild hard corals in the world.
In addition to the rise in water temperature, acidification and eutrophication of seawater are also important causes of the collapse of hard corals, which are entirely attributable to the discharge of human domestic sewage and industrial wastewater.
The seabed of Dapeng Bay in Shencheng was a water-rich paradise with rich coral species more than a decade ago. It is now a large expanse of desert.
In this context, the state decided to vigorously rectify the aquarium market and ban the exploitation and trade of wild hard corals, especially in the South China Sea. Currently, the hard corals circulating in the aquarium market are mostly farmed in Indonesia, the Philippines and Australia – theoretically. However, in fact, because of the profitability of digging corals, in addition to breeding in Indonesia, fishermen will also dig corals to increase production. Anyway, they are mixed and sold, it is difficult to distinguish whether they are farmed or wild.
Soft corals are not so many taboos, because soft corals are more tolerant to temperature and there is no risk of extinction, so the soft corals in this store are significantly more species than hard bone corals.
The previous female customer browsed through the store and didn’t seem to find the favorite coral. It was a disappointing look. She shook her head and seemed to be turning to leave.
The owner of this coral franchise store intends to stay. He raised his chin and pointed to the Coral Import License hanging on the wall. He said with pride: “I have a license here, in order to get a license fee. I have been working hard, and my colleagues in the past are now eating rice. Now that you are coming, you may wish to wait a moment, and a new batch of corals will be sent in a while.”
“Oh?” The female customer suddenly came to the interest. “How long have you been introducing a new coral?”
“The time is uncertain, about three months or so.” The boss replied: “Generally, it is almost sold out and then go into new ones. See which ones are sold well, and introduce a small number of new varieties. ”
The female customer frowned. “You are too conservative in this way of business. There are too few types and too few colors. People can’t afford the interest of shopping. Like this big disc coral is only golden, the brain coral is basically green. Whether it is the eight-character brain or the Australian donuts are all green – dark green, light green, dark green, do you like to give the brain a vertex green?”
puff!
Xiaoxue couldn’t help but listen to the reporters. The netizens in the live room also smiled and had a stomachache. They only hated that there was no picture to watch.
The female customer’s rhetoric is sharp. It sounds like a senior aquarium player. She hurts the store owner and smiles. She also said: “I want to introduce more varieties, but the coral is too delicate. Many kinds of corals are connected to me. They can’t live, they must be sold as soon as possible after they are introduced, otherwise they will be in their hands.”
The shop owner dares to run a coral store, and is certainly an expert in raising corals. The breeding level is definitely higher than that of the female customer, but he has to take care of too many corals, and each coral has a water environment such as water temperature. The requirements are different, and it will be exhausted for a long time. If you are not careful, you will lose a lot.
Zhang Zi An is deeply sympathetic, but he is not planning to take care of this drowning, so as not to involve himself.
He concentrated his attention on observing the corals currently displayed in the store. As the female customers said, although there are many kinds of them, they are common items. Although the colors are rich, they often lack the rare colors, and the ones that raise the brain corals. The cylinders are all green and oily.
The color of the coral is an important factor in determining the price. Even if it is the same kind of coral, the price can be several times or even ten times as long as the color is different.
Things are rare, everyone wants to raise rare corals, so rare corals are often sold out in the aquarium market, and the common colors are less popular.
Zhang Zi An was going to visit other coral stores, but after hearing the news that a new batch of imported corals was about to arrive, he and Xiaoxue decided to stay and wait for a while.
Xiaoxue wants to open his eyes, and he looks at each other with female customers. He wants to scouring the baby with tacit understanding. If you can find a rare species of coral or a rare color coral, it will definitely add color to his aquarium. less.
However, this means that his wallet is bleeding.
Xiaoxue tentatively asked: “The boss, the outside landscaping cylinder display area is not allowed to take pictures. Is it ok? I am an anchor. If you can, it may help your store to play a certain role…”
The boss was slightly addicted. Seeing that Xiaoxue was a beautiful woman, he barely nodded and promised: “Only in the store, I don’t expect any propaganda. After all, the coral is a small circle. The city only buys coral. Can come here to buy.”
With his permission, Xiaoxue finally got out of the mobile phone with a bright and straight face, and used the camera to face the store for a week. The grotesque coral tank immediately aroused the awkwardness of the netizens.
Some netizens heard the words of the boss, and they were dissatisfied. They said that they had come to the store to buy corals in two days. They also deliberately stated that they watched the live broadcast of Xiaoxue…
Ding!
The elevator is parked on the second floor. It is not an ordinary elevator for customers. It is a dedicated freight elevator for employees. The entrance and exit are wider than ordinary elevators.
“Flash! Flash! Flash! The one in front, please let me!”
When the elevator door opened, the employee wearing the fish market uniform pushed the truck and appeared in the elevator, speaking loudly to the customers who blocked the road.
The cart was full of huge incubators and looked quite heavy.
“Come.” The spirit of the boss spurred and quit the mobile game being played.
Zhang Zi An They are also waiting.
