Manager Zhou's smile faded when he saw the reactions of the people behind Xiang Yang. "Actually, it's not bad to have an ordinary booth."
Xiang Yang didn't think the price was unacceptable, but he would still like to learn more and investigate the market more deeply.
"Manager Zhou, let's take a look around first and then rent a booth later." Xiang Yang said.
"Please come in, Mr. Xiang." The man surnamed Zhou had a professional smile on his face.
After saying goodbye to the man surnamed Zhou, Xiang Yang said to Chen Qingsheng and the others, "Everyone, move freely and don't act together. I'll call you when it's time to gather."
Chen Qingsheng asked: "Boss, what about you?"
Xiang Yang said: "I'll just take a look around."
Chen Qingsheng smiled and said, "It's just a casual look anyway, so I'll just follow you."
Xiang Hui said: "I will go with you, second brother."
Xiang Yang didn't care and wandered around the exhibition hall with his hands behind his back.
After a quick tour of the last exhibition hall, Xiang Yang carefully discovered that many exhibition halls seemed to be bustling with people and countless otakus screaming, but in fact, there were hardly any people who came to the merchants to inquire about the goods.
However, those few merchants who spent a lot of money to make a name for themselves and actually did business were not in a hurry at all.
Xiang Yang found it amazing and walked towards one of the less popular booths.
There was only a water tank on the booth. Xiang Yang was very familiar with the contents of the tank, which were none other than the Chinese Jingxiu lobster.
In addition to a group of Chinese lobsters swimming in a huge tank, there was one that was specially picked out by the merchant and placed in a small tank with beautiful scenery.
The Chinese Jingxiu lobster is colorful all over, with two whiskers that are longer than its entire body, thick and strong, and there are inky black lines on its abdomen and back.
"Brother Yang, there are really people who display shrimps as ornamental fish." Fang Youqun said in a low voice behind Xiang Yang.
"Now that you are worth more, everything is just an ornamental fish." Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly. "Although the pattern of this Chinese Jingxiu lobster is not as good as mine, it is much bigger than mine. A Jingxiu lobster this big will definitely be sold at a sky-high price. Who would be willing to cook something worth tens of millions?"
"Tens of millions?" Fang Youqun was stunned.
"Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions is almost the ceiling for marine aquariums. Unlike freshwater fish, which often sell for sky-high prices for dragon fish or koi, when it comes to ornamental fish, marine aquariums and freshwater aquariums cannot be compared at all. The finale of today's exhibition is a koi." Xiang Yang said.
Xiang Yang's station was very close to the booth, and the owner of the Chinese Jingxiu lobster only hired one etiquette lady and one receptionist, so the entire booth seemed a little quiet.
The merchant heard the conversation between Xiang Yang and Fang Youqun and came forward on his own initiative.
The merchant first offered a few cigarettes to Xiang Yang and others, and then said to Xiang Yang: "My last name is Peng, sir, what is your name?"
"No need to ask for your surname." Xiang Yang smiled and took the other person's cigarette. "Sorry, I don't smoke this."
"Mr. Xiang, please come this way." The man surnamed Peng invited Xiang Yang to sit on a small table and chairs behind his booth. After pouring Xiang Yang a cup of tea, he said, "Mr. Xiang, do you know a lot about sea tanks and Jingxiu lobsters?"
Xiang Yang shook his head, then nodded, not afraid of exposing his identity as a colleague, "Actually, I'm here to do the aquarium business as well. I can't say I know a lot about Jingxiu lobsters, but I know a little bit. I just sold two yesterday."
"Two?" Mr. Peng's eyes lit up. "I didn't expect you to be such an expert. The size and texture of the Jingxiu lobsters you're selling should be pretty good, right?"
"It's okay." Xiang Yang didn't want to talk more about this topic.
"Brother Xiang, this is my business card. I specialize in marine aquarium business. If you want to ship or find goods in the future, you can contact me." Mr. Peng handed Xiang Yang a business card.
Xiang Yang took the business card and looked at it, "Mr. Peng?"
"It's not a title, my name is Mr. Peng." said Mr. Peng.
Xiang Yang smiled and put the business card into his jacket pocket. "What's the price? For the Jinglong you are exhibiting now, what is the purchase price and the delivery price for me?"
Mr. Peng pointed to the water tank in front and said, "Brother Xiang, what do you think is a reasonable price for this Jinglong?"
Xiang Yang made a rough estimate. "The color is average, even below the horizon, but it is big enough, more than 65cm, right? If you are willing to sell the flowers, I am willing to pay..."
"Stop." Mr. Peng interrupted Xiang Yang, "This is my most valuable possession. I won't sell it even if you give me one million."
Xiang Yang guessed so, and stopped worrying about Jingxiu's lobster and started chatting casually with Mr. Peng.
Through chatting with Mr. Peng, Xiang Yang finally understood why many merchants were not anxious at all even though they had not sold their goods.
It turns out that in the fish-playing field, there are basically no pure buyers or sellers.
Although these ornamental fish were on display in the morning, in fact, they never expected any sellers from outside the circle to appear. Generally, they would wait for the small vendors who brought private goods to sell the private goods to people outside the circle. The afternoon was the trading time for those in the circle.
For example, the koi in the brocade box was even placed in the largest exhibition hall, and the merchant himself was not present in the morning.
Xiang Yang chatted with Mr. Peng for a while and thought it was a good opportunity, so he took out his products and said, "Brother Peng, what do you think of these seafood products of mine?"
Mr. Peng had actually already seen the water jars in the hands of Chen Qingsheng and others who were following Xiang Yang, but since Xiang Yang didn't say anything, he certainly wouldn't ask about it.
"Let me see it." Peng Xianjian held up a water tank and looked at it carefully. "This thing is called a Christmas tree worm, right? This is actually the first time I've seen a living thing. It's so rare. If I speculate well, I might be able to sell it for a good price."
"I don't know how to fry, and I don't have the time to do it." Xiang Yang said frankly.
"Brother Xiang, how many of these Christmas tree worms do you have? Are you planning to set up a stall to sell them, or do you want to rent a booth?" Mr. Peng asked the most crucial question.
Xiang Yang also immediately understood what Mr. Peng meant. He wanted to take over his batch of goods.
"It would be great if you are interested, Mr. Peng. If you really want to cooperate, we can have a long-term cooperation. I won't charge you a high price. Two thousand per piece, which is the real cost price."
Chen Qingsheng and the others all looked strange. Two thousand a piece is the cost price? It seems that this thing has no cost, right
In fact, these Christmas tree worms do have costs. Not to mention the fuel costs, just the personnel expenses, diving equipment, red envelope bonuses, etc. In short, Xiang Yang would definitely not be willing to sell them for less than two thousand.
Everyone looked at Mr. Peng, waiting for his next words.
It's just a thing a little bit bigger than a finger, but the crown looks a little nicer. It can't be eaten or chewed. Can it really be worth two thousand dollars
