After a few people went into the house and made some simple measurements on the French blue dragon to confirm that Xiang Yang was not lying, Zhang Qicheng directly offered Xiang Yang a sky-high price of 3.5 million.
On the way here, Zhang Qicheng and Li Chao had already discussed it based on the short video sent by Xiang Yang. As long as the video was real, Zhang Qicheng would buy this French blue dragon for 3.5 million. After displaying it in the seafood market for a week, it would be sold to Li Chao together with the yellow croaker maw in Zhang Qicheng's hand for a total of 5 million.
Of course Xiang Yang agreed to this price, and Zhang Qicheng immediately transferred the money to Xiang Yang through the bank.
The transaction went much more smoothly than Xiang Yang had imagined. He felt like he was dreaming until he received a transfer message from the bank on his mobile phone showing that 3.5 million yuan had been deposited into Xiang Yang's bank card.
It turned out that all the preparations Xiang Yang had mobilized his entire family to make were in vain.
But Xiang Yang did not regret it. Even if he had to do it all over again, Xiang Yang would still make full preparations. It is people's morality to trade fairly with you. If you don't make any preparations and put all your hopes on the morality of others, you deserve to capsize in the gutter.
Neither Boss Li nor Boss Zhang had any intention of staying for dinner. They were eager to go back as soon as the transaction was completed. Before leaving, they took away all the sea cucumbers and some remaining swimming crabs from Xiang Yang's house. The price was still the same as what they had agreed with Xiang Yang on the phone earlier.
Boss Li and his men came and went in a hurry.
The villagers of Yanlong Village were shocked.
With Xiang Hui's big mouth around, almost as soon as Li Chao and his companions left, the villagers found out that the blue lobster Xiang Yang caught on the seabed today was sold at a sky-high price of 3.5 million.
Suddenly, the fishermen felt that the swimming crabs they were chewing were no longer tasty.
After they had quickly eaten the swimming crabs in their hands, they said goodbye to Xiang's father.
Father Xiang did not persuade them to stay. He certainly knew what the villagers were thinking. According to the villagers, since Xiang Yang could catch blue lobsters, why couldn't they? As long as they caught one, they could get rich. At this time, the villagers had no time to eat. They all wanted to go to the sea to try their luck.
"Come, we'll eat by ourselves after they leave." Xiang Yang transferred 100,000 yuan each to his uncle and third uncle, and 10,000 yuan each to his two cousins, then grabbed a swimming crab and said with a smile.
"I love this." Xiang Hui, who got 10,000 yuan for nothing, smiled and reached for the half of a lobster that was cut in half on the table. However, Xiang Bo slapped his hand back. He cooked two lobsters and put only half on each table. How could Xiang Hui eat them all by himself
Mother Xiang looked at Xiang Yang with a smile and said, "Xiaoyang, give the money to me. I will help you find a house in LH County tomorrow, and the rest will be used for you to find a wife."
"Puff!" Xiang Yang was choked by his mother's words and almost sprayed out all the swimming crab meat in his mouth.
"Why, you don't want to?" Xiang's mother stopped smiling.
Of course Xiang Yang was unwilling to do so. The price of houses in coastal areas can be imagined. LH County is not like the remote countryside like Yanlong Village. In Yanlong Village, one can build a house for only hundreds of thousands of yuan, while the price of houses in LH County is tens of thousands of yuan per square meter.
Xiang Yang had just gotten over 3 million yuan and was just about to start something big, so how could he just use it to buy a house? As for marrying a wife, that was out of the question.
"Dad, Mom." Xiang Yang put down the swimming crab in his hand, organized his words, and then said carefully: "I want to buy a fishing boat."
"It would be a good idea to buy a fishing boat! With a fishing boat, we can better dig for food in the ocean in the future." Xiang's father agreed without thinking.
Xiang Yang's eyes lit up. He thought he would have to waste a lot of time and effort to convince his father, but he didn't expect his father to be so reasonable.
"Also, if you want to buy a fishing boat, you have to buy a big one, because a big fishing boat can catch more fish." Xiang's father continued, and Xiang Yang nodded frequently. His father was thoughtful.
"The best fishing boat maker in Huhai Town is Old Zhou from Yanjiang Village next door. Tomorrow I will accompany you to visit Old Zhou's house. We will spend 10,000 yuan to customize the largest fishing boat, and then go to the town to buy an engine and install it." Father Xiang finally finished what he wanted to say.
Xiang Yang covered his forehead when he heard this. Well, things are indeed not that simple.
"Xiaoyang, why are you even more stingy than mom? We have no shortage of money now. Listen to your dad. If we are going to buy a fishing boat, we should buy a big one. This fishing boat will bring returns after purchase. As the saying goes, small money does not go out, big money does not come in!" When Xiang's mother saw Xiang Yang covering his forehead, she thought that Xiang Yang was reluctant to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a big fishing boat.
Even Xiang Hui gave Xiang Yang a look of contempt. He made so much money but was still reluctant to spend it to buy a bigger fishing boat. He was such a miser.
Xiang Chen also smiled and said, "Brother Yang, what uncle and aunt said is right. This fishing boat needs to be bigger. Tomorrow, I will also go to Master Zhou to exchange for a bigger fishing boat. Let's go together."
Well, this family has persuaded Xiang Yang now.
"You misunderstood me." Xiang Yang sighed, "The fishing boat I'm talking about is not a small fishing boat, but a real fishing boat, a big one."
"A real fishing boat, a big fishing boat?"
Father Xiang was stunned for a moment.
Xiang Bo took a breath of cold air.
Mother Xiang's eyes widened. "Are you talking about the large fishing boats on TV that are as big as a mountain and can go out to sea for many days? How much would that cost?"
Xiang Yang gritted his teeth and said, since he had already said it, he might as well make it clear. Xiang Yang said directly, "I want to invest all the three million I have in buying a medium-sized trawler with a draft of at least 100 tons."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, and everyone was shocked by the ambition revealed by Xiang Yang.
"A water draft of one hundred tons, how big is that?" Xiang's father felt that he and Xiang Yang were no longer on the same page.
"Xiaoyang, be careful, be careful. Let's not talk about what to do if we lose money. Can you drive such a big fishing boat?" Xiang Bo also hurriedly advised.
"Yes, I got the relevant certificate when I was studying at Ocean University." Xiang Yang said truthfully.
Now everyone was silent.
Finally, it was Xiang Yang who broke the deadlock. "We can only buy a small fishing boat to dig for food in Qinglongwan. Dad, uncle, brother, you are all fishermen, you should know the fishery resources in Qinglongwan. Is it rich? Not rich, but do you know how big the entire ocean is? It is boundless, it accounts for 70% of the entire world. This is a huge treasure that can never be developed. The fishery resources in it will never be exhausted. But to conquer it and obtain its treasures, we must have a deep-sea fishing boat to go farther and open up deeper fishing grounds!"
