Chapter 714: Elephant Jiao
Li Xuan nodded. He really has the confidence to say this now.
The scientific research price of the sperm whale remains is incalculable.
Just those whale teeth are worth tens of millions when they are on the black market, not to mention more valuable whale oil, etc.
Haida is indeed rich and powerful, but he is extremely willing to pay attention to scientific research. Although the money has not yet been transferred to Li Xuan's account, Professor Li has given Li Xuan a very clear number, 20 million.
This number may sound disappointing at first glance.
After all, in Yemen, a fisherman once discovered the body of a sperm whale. In the body of the sperm whale, a piece of ambergris sold for ten million yuan.
But that's just a superficial number.
The 20 million yuan will be paid directly to Li Xuan's account. The journey is open and there is no need for any other handling fees. It will be accompanied by commendation, various support and subsidies.
In short, Li Xuan definitely only makes money and no losses.
"At that time, I will sell this ship and use that ship as the fleet's flagship number." Li Xuan said with a smile.
Chen Bin exclaimed: "You want to sell this ship?"
Li Xuan nodded, "With the formation of the fleet, I am obviously not enough for this medium-sized ocean-sea fishing boat. Many of the fishing grounds and sea areas that the three ships can go to can't reach."
Moreover, Li Xuan felt that this fleet was nominally the leader, but the four ships, three of them were from others, the only one was his own, or the smallest one, which was really unreasonable. It was difficult to establish his own prestige in front of the captains of those three ships.
It is definitely unrealistic to buy more fishing boats. It is not a matter of money, but a lack of manpower.
But Li Xuan could buy a larger fishing boat, gather the seamen on his ship and the people he brought to Zhou Dashui later, and put them on a boat together, and use the ship as the flagship of the fleet.
It is best to directly build an ocean-going mothership. In that case, his fleet will really have the possibility of running south of New Zealand to cold waters and fishing krill.
Of course, this can only be imagined for the time being. Even if it is just the most ordinary processing mothership, it is definitely not something Li Xuan can take down now.
Even if it's just a second-hand one.
Some time ago, in the Beihai area, a second-hand ocean-made mothership was auctioned abroad, with a starting price of 45 million euros, and the final transaction price is said to be as high as nearly 60 million euros.
Li Xuan could only sigh at this price.
On the deck, Li Xuan picked up the walkie-talkie from time to time and asked the people in the cab to adjust the direction of their progress according to the current at any time.
Suddenly, on the tide of the surging sea, Li Xuan vaguely saw a gray, dark and red giant in the waves. Suddenly, Li Xuan's eyes lit up, but then it became dim again, "Damn, I don't know if I should say whether I am lucky or bad when I come out this time."
Chen Bin said in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Li Xuan pointed to the giant creature, and Li Xuan swears that this big guy was swam here by himself, and his octopus clone didn't even feel any slut at the bottom of the sea, so he was definitely not looking for it on purpose.
Chen Bin squinted his eyes and looked towards Li Xuan's finger. At first he was a little confused, and then exclaimed, "My God, such a big elephant dragon. If I can catch this, I won't say anything else. Just that shark fin, a million people will definitely beg to buy it. No, they should beg to buy it."
Li Xuan shook his head, "Don't think about it. If I had seen this guy in the high seas ten years ago, I could still think of a way. Now, let alone in the exclusive seas, even in the exclusive economic seas of other countries, this thing would definitely not be able to touch."
Chen Bin sighed, "I can only see it."
Elephant dragon, also known as bass shark.
Not many people may know this name, but when it comes to a part of it, most people are well-known.
】
Its shark fin, called Jiutian Shark fin, is one of the most rare and top ingredients in the world. As early as thirty years ago, when supplies were still very expensive, a pair of high-quality Jiutian Shark fins could be sold for more than one million.
This bass shark is too big. It is the largest fish in the world except whale sharks. Its huge body cannot see the panoramic view on the water surface. I don’t know how long it is. However, it swims on the sea surface, just the tip of the iceberg, which quickly attracted the attention of most of the seamen on several ships.
Li Xuan deliberately lowered his head to look at the walkie-talkie in his hand. Fortunately, no one was afraid of the eyes asking him if he wanted to cast a net, otherwise his future work would be even more tiring. Not only would he have to worry about the fleet, but he also had to explain to everyone what it means to sit in the prison and run through a fish.
The fleet continued to move forward at a constant speed, getting closer and closer to the bass shark.
But the bass shark had no intention of avoiding it at all, and was even swimming towards the fleet.
This can be regarded as a major feature of the basking shark. Basking sharks will not hide from ships like great white sharks. They will not harm humans, nor will they be afraid of humans. At the same time, they will not eat the bait placed by humans.
Li Xuan didn't understand why this bass shark was left alone.
Basking sharks usually move in groups.
The most important reason why this guy has a very high level of protection is that the shark fin on it is indeed too expensive.
Hundreds of bass sharks who are not afraid of humans swam in the sea together. If they do not protect them, the fishermen will catch them as a group of people. After they catch one, the rest will swim over and see why their companions are caught, and then line up to be caught.
If it weren't for the protection of animals, this habit, coupled with such preciousness, would have been exterminated.
Chen Bin said with some concern: "Brother Xuan, do you want to slow down and don't hit this guy."
Li Xuan shook his head, "No, this guy's eyes are bright. It's just that he is not afraid of people, not stupid. When he sees the boat coming, he will avoid it."
Although the eyes of the basking shark are very small, they are very developed.
Moreover, Li Xuan looked at this guy's body, which was definitely no less than ten meters long. Even if he hit the fishing boat, with its rough skin and thick flesh, there would be no major problems at all.
More importantly, the bass shark is in front of the side of the ship, not in front of it.
The basking shark's swimming speed is very slow, and this one is even slower. On the sea, it is drifting with the flow and does not swim at all. With its swimming speed, even if it is moving towards the direction of the fishing boat, even if the fishing boat is driving far away, it will not reach the position where the fishing boat has swam.
