Is Mr. Peng a fool
Of course not.
"Two thousand is a bit cheap. These should all be pure wild Christmas tree worms, right? Now a good artificially cultivated seven-color angelfish costs twenty or thirty thousand. Since we want to have a long-term cooperation, let's be honest. I'll give you two thousand yuan for each variegated one, three thousand for each pure color and red one, and five thousand for each pure red one." Mr. Peng scared the Christmas tree worms in the fish tank with his hand.
Chen Qingsheng and others opened their mouths so wide that a goose egg could fit directly into their mouths.
Xiang Yang joked, "Someone offered to buy all my Christmas tree worms for a thousand yuan. I made the offer and you raised the price yourself."
Mr. Peng said, "You didn't sell it, did you? Only a one-time deal would cheat you to death. Long-term cooperation must be mutually beneficial and win-win."
The two smiled at each other. Xiang Yang originally planned to rent a booth, but the purpose of renting the booth was to find a market for ornamental fish to promote his Christmas tree worms. Now that someone has opened the market directly, it would be the best.
"I have quite a lot. Brother Peng, tell me first how much you can eat."
"How much is a lot?"
Xiang Yang stretched out a hand with his five fingers spread out.
Mr. Peng's eyes lit up. "Fifty? That's great. I was worried that it would be hard to sell these few at a good price. Fifty would be enough for me to make some plans."
Chen Qingsheng answered for Xiang Yang: "General Peng, we have more than 500 of them. There may not be a single pure red one, but there are quite a few with red."
Xiang Yang added: "If you want more, I can provide you with more in the future. It depends on whether you can eat it. I only pay in cash and never keep accounts."
"Five hundred?" Mr. Peng took a deep breath. "The reason why the unit price of marine aquariums is always lower than that of freshwater aquariums is that ornamental fish in the harbor are too difficult to catch, and no one is willing to speculate. I used to know a boss who speculated on golden butterfly groupers. As soon as he raised the price here, the supply there was cut off, and all his investment went down the drain. It's not like arowana and koi, which can be artificially bred and you can have as many as you want. You speculate this species today and that species tomorrow. If you speculate ten species and one of them becomes popular, you can make a fortune."
Xiang Yang nodded. He didn't know much about marine aquariums, but it was impossible for him not to know about freshwater tanks. Take the discus fish for example. The original wild discus fish were not very popular among consumers and the market.
However, through artificial breeding, hundreds of varieties of angelfish have emerged.
People in the ornamental fish circle really enjoy speculating on discus fish. I heard that there are rich people who have invested hundreds of millions of dollars and are unwilling to let go even after failing to speculate on many varieties.
If marine aquariums were hyped in this way, they would lose everything, but freshwater fish can be hyped in this way.
I dreamed that you were a colorful fairy that suddenly appeared in the world and became the god of ornamental fish overnight. All your previous losses were earned back a hundred times in a short period of time.
Xiang Yang was no longer modest and boasted, "If you are willing, go for it. I can't say how many goods I can get, but I can guarantee you that I can get hundreds of them every month."
Chen Qingsheng and others were also shocked by Xiang Yang's words. There were quite a few Christmas tree worms in that sea area, but not so many that they could be cut like leeks and grow again.
In this vast ocean, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a second area of sea rich in Christmas tree worms.
Mr. Peng did not believe Xiang Yang's words. "Brother, I don't have the guts to do that. Unless you can sign a contract with me, I will pay you for this batch of goods when your next batch of goods arrives, and I will pay you for the next batch of goods when the next batch of goods arrives. You can pledge a batch of goods as collateral here."
Xiang Yang immediately shook his head, "The payment must be made in cash."
Although Xiang Yang had never been a boss before, he was not completely ignorant.
There used to be a battery company in Huhai Town that sold its goods in this way. As a result, the merchants who bought the goods kept delaying the repayment date. In the end, the company's capital chain broke and it went bankrupt, and they received less than one-tenth of the money they paid for the goods.
There are some businessmen who are rich but will deliberately delay the payment date of suppliers. Their purpose is to cut off the supplier's capital chain. According to the laws of our country, as long as the supplier quits, there will be no after-sales guarantee for the goods shipped out. Even if the after-sales guarantee date has passed, the account will be charged to the supplier. Coupled with the clauses such as breach of contract, the money will be cut by almost 70% through legal procedures. This is a business strategy that many unscrupulous businessmen are proud of.
"Okay, let's settle the payment." Mr. Peng made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go, take me to see the goods first."
Xiang Yang said: "Wait, I need to call a friend of mine first." Xiang Yang did not forget Li Chao. Xiang Yang made an appointment with him to come together, but Xiang Yang ran away halfway. It was unreasonable not to call Li Chao.
Xiang Yang called Li Chao and explained the reason to him.
Sure enough, Li Chao was quite resentful about Xiang Yang's sudden change of mind at first, but when he heard Xiang Yang say that he had found a suitable market for ornamental fish, Li Chao immediately changed his tone and started congratulating him.
After talking to Li Chao on the phone, Xiang Yang took Mr. Peng directly to the underground garage.
Mr. Peng brought two people with him.
A group of people came to the underground garage. Xiang Yang asked Chen Qingsheng to open the back door of the van and let Mr. Peng go up to inspect the goods.
"Brother Xiang, this batch of Christmas tree worms of yours is of very good quality!" After climbing into the back compartment of the van and carefully inspecting it, Mr. Peng discovered that many of the Christmas tree worms in Xiang Yang's back compartment were red, and quite a few were pure color. This surprised Mr. Peng greatly. The only regret was that he did not see any pure red ones.
Xiang Yang smiled but said nothing. In fact, he still didn't understand what high quality meant and what low quality meant. To Xiang Yang, weren't they all lively and vivid Christmas tree worms? The colorful ones looked better. Why did professionals call the good-looking ones variegated, and the ugly ones were more expensive
Mr. Peng jumped down from the van and shouted directly, "Ajie, go up and count."
"Yes." A muscular man with a flat head following Mr. Peng immediately climbed onto the van.
"Xiaohui, go up and help." Xiang Yang gave Xiang Hui a wink.
"Okay." Xiang Hui also immediately crawled to the back of the van.
Fang Youqun also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chen Qingsheng.
Mr. Peng smiled at the scene, he was good at judging people. Among these four people, Xiang Yang must be the boss, Chen Qingsheng should be his right-hand man, Xiang Hui was his confidant, and as for Fang Youqun, he was a little confused. It was obvious that Xiang Yang said to let Xiang Hui go up to help, but in fact he must be there to monitor Ajie from the side. However, Fang Youqun took it seriously and seemed like a fool.
Soon, Ajie and Xiang Hui jumped off the carriage together.
"Brother Sheng, we have counted them all. There are 507 in total, 97 of which are red or solid-colored."
"Brother, my statistics are the same."
