Xiang Yang brought Chen Qingsheng and a few others, each holding a few Christmas tree worm samples, and walked into the marine exhibition hall.
When you enter the Ocean Pavilion, the first thing you see is not the ornamental fish, but the surging human heads.
Xiang Yang now understood why the online ticket window was closed. If he opened it again, he wouldn't be able to see the fish exhibition because he would probably see nothing but people.
Chen Qingsheng had been here before. He led the way in front, "Boss, follow me, to the ornamental fish exhibition hall."
Li Chao also came from the other side. He went through the side door and a special staff member led him in. The door on the other side was empty and there were few tourists along the way.
Not only Li Chao, but Zhang Qicheng also came. They brought a few subordinates with them. Each subordinate had something in his hand. In addition to the French Blue Dragon, there seemed to be other exhibits.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the Ocean Exhibition Hall, the management immediately received the news. Some senior executives hurried to the side door and laughed from a distance.
"Mr. Li!"
"Boss Zhang!"
"What's the weather like today? Why are you two here?"
"Come on, come in."
Li Chao bowed to the management of several organizers.
Zhang Qicheng said happily: "It's a coincidence that we are not going to the seafood exhibition hall today, but to the ornamental fish exhibition area."
Of course, such a large marine exhibition hall cannot have only one ornamental fish exhibition area. There are also several exhibition areas with different functions. Among them, the one that Zhang Qicheng and Li Chao go to the most is the seafood exhibition area, where all kinds of top-notch ingredients often flow out.
The person with the highest status among those who came out to greet Li Chao in the Ocean Exhibition Hall was named Xu.
Manager Xu smiled and said, "You are really lucky. Today, there is a top-quality koi on display in the ornamental fish exhibition area of Jinxiu Box. I remember that you, Mr. Li, like koi very much, right? Maybe that koi will fall into your hands."
Li Chao laughed, "I'm not very interested in artificially bred koi." Then he pointed behind him and said, "See? I'm here with some goods today, too."
Manager Xu's eyes lit up. "Shall I arrange a booth for you?"
Li Chao waved his hand, "No need for that, I'll just take a look first."
"Okay, Mr. Li, please."
Li Chao's entry into the Ocean Exhibition Hall attracted the attention of many interested people.
In addition to being the owner of one of the highest-end hotels in Longcheng City, Li Chao is also an expert in ornamental fish, rare seafood, top-quality seafood, and rare shells. It is said that he has collected more than one complete set of the four famous conches. There is almost no old player or expert player at the marine exhibition who does not know Li Chao.
Many people came up to Li Chao as soon as they saw him, some came to ask about his well-being, and some tried to sell themselves to him.
On the other side, Xiang Yang, Chen Qingsheng and others were stopped as soon as they entered the ornamental fish exhibition hall.
He was a skinny middle-aged man wearing a Tang suit. He stopped Xiang Yang but was even more surprised than Xiang Yang himself.
"Hey bro, is that a Christmas tree worm in your hand?"
"How is that possible?"
"I have seen Christmas tree worms before. These little worms not only live in the deep sea, but are also very agile. It is a great achievement for ordinary people to catch one. Where and how did you catch them? How deep is the water in that sea? Are there many Christmas tree worms?"
Xiang Yang frowned.
Chen Qingsheng was also slightly unhappy.
Fang Youqun was even more direct. He rolled his eyes and said, "How can we tell you where and how we caught the Christmas tree worms? Why don't you just ask us where we hid our bank card and what the password is?"
Fang Youqun spoke in a very aggressive tone, but this time Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng did not stop him. They also felt that the questions asked by the man in the Tang suit were too much.
The man in the Tang suit frowned slightly when Fang Youqun said something to him, and said in a literary manner: "My last name is Xun, and I have been in the ornamental fish business for more than ten years. Are you guys taking advantage of today's exhibition to sell these Christmas tree worms? To be honest, these worms are not easy to sell. If you think highly of me, I am willing to pay a suitable price, just as if I were making friends with you."
Xiang Yang said expressionlessly: "What is the appropriate price you are talking about?"
The man held up a finger.
How much does this finger point to? One yuan can be a finger, and one hundred million can also be a finger. Xiang Yang didn't say anything, just waiting for the other party to continue.
The man in the Tang suit held up his finger for a while before lowering it, laughing and saying, "It seems that you guys are not insiders. One finger means one thousand in the industry jargon. I won't let you make a wasted trip. I'll take all the one thousand dollars for these Christmas tree worms. If you help me deliver them to my stall, I'll transfer the money to you. Next, you can take a good look around the Hai Pavilion to broaden your horizons. If you catch this kind of Christmas tree worm again, don't waste your ticket money to come to the Hai Pavilion. I'll give you a call later and send them directly to my shop. I'll give you one hundred dollars each."
Xiang Yang said directly: "Not for sale." After that, Xiang Yang took Chen Qingsheng and others to walk into the sea exhibition hall.
"Hey, wait a minute." The man in Tang suit stopped him again.
"What?" Xiang Yang's expression was not so good, "I don't want to sell it, but you want to force it to buy it?"
"Forced to buy? They are just a few bugs, but you treasure them so much." The man in the Tang suit snorted, "You better think about it. If you don't sell them now, you won't be able to sell them after you pass me by."
"That's my business too." Xiang Yang said directly.
This time, Xiang Yang took Chen Qingsheng and others and walked over casually. The man in Tang suit did not stop Xiang Yang again.
As soon as they walked away, Chen Qingsheng looked at Xiang Yang and whispered, "Boss, will that guy cause trouble again?"
"Never mind, let's proceed as planned." Xiang Yang said.
Chen Qingsheng hummed and closed his mouth with a heavy heart.
Behind him, the man in Tang suit's face darkened when he saw Xiang Yang leaving. He changed direction and walked for a while before finding a junior employee of the organizer.
"Brother Xun." The young employee greeted the man in Tang suit enthusiastically after seeing him.
"Xiao Wei, help me." said the man in Tang suit.
Xiao Wei said, "What can I do for you? Brother Xun, tell me."
The man in the Tang suit looked around and lowered his voice, "It's like this, I just saw a few country bumpkins coming in with some Christmas tree worms. Doesn't the Ocean Exhibition Hall have a rule? No transactions are allowed outside the booths. Violators will have their stolen money and goods confiscated. Go and help me confiscate the Christmas tree worms from those country bumpkins."
Xiao Wei was stunned after hearing this, "Brother Xun, this is not good, right? Today is the grand exhibition, and private transactions are allowed in the grand exhibition."
The man in the Tang suit asked, "Does the Hai Exhibition Hall have a rule that explicitly states that private transactions are allowed at the exhibition?"
Xiao Wei frowned, "It's not clear, but hasn't it always been like this?"
The man in the Tang suit sneered, "Since you didn't say it clearly, then you turned a blind eye. Even if you confiscated it, they are just a few country bumpkins. After confiscating their things, you directly drove them out. What can they say to you?"
