Xiang Yang was frightened by Boss Qu. The other party's reaction was really too big.
"Oh my god, I've seen so many Fuji computers in their prime, but when was the last time I saw one with such pure color? I can't remember, but it was more than ten years ago when I was in school."
Boss Qu looked at the Fuji brain coral from left to right and couldn't let it go.
"Boss Qu seems to be very satisfied with this Fuji brain." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"I'm satisfied, very satisfied. What price are you willing to offer for this Fuji brain?" Boss Qu asked loudly.
"Haha, Boss Qu, you are a professional. How much do you think it is worth?"
"This one and the others, I'll take all the 500,000."
Xiang Yang blinked his eyes. This price really shocked Xiang Yang. Five hundred thousand to buy a Fuji brain was really too high. That was the price that only donut brain coral could reach. At least Xiang Yang had never heard of a Fuji brain worth five hundred thousand.
"Isn't the price too high?" Xiang Yang knew that Boss Qu might want to befriend him and establish a long-term cooperative relationship with him, but Xiang Yang didn't want to take advantage of Boss Qu, because he also wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Boss Qu. Business dealings are mutual. Since Boss Qu is sincere, Xiang Yang must also show his sincerity. "All the brain corals on my ship, you can pack them all up and take them away for 300,000 yuan."
"It's not inflated at all. If this quality Fuji computer is hyped well, there will be people who want it at 700,000 or 800,000. This is our first cooperation. I'm not making money from you, Mr. Xiang, but from your friendship. Let's just make 500,000. We both make money at this price." Boss Qu took out his cell phone and made a call. "Still use the same account as before. Transfer 500,000 into it."
Xiang Yang heard a text message ringing from his phone in his pocket, "Okay, then I'll look for you next time I find a brain coral."
"Not just brain corals." Boss Qu lowered his voice and said, "I basically buy all kinds of corals."
Xiang Yang was startled and immediately understood what Boss Qu meant. He laughed dryly and said, "But I dare not pick some corals."
In recent years, many corals have been listed as protected animals. Although there are still many fishermen who like to take risks and not only fish in the high seas, but also secretly fish in territorial waters, and some are even daring enough to go to other countries' territorial waters to fish, Xiang Yang has never thought of doing so. He is even unwilling to do things that skirt the rules in the high seas? Because some things, once done, will cause endless troubles.
Boss Qu smiled and said, "Okay? Then we can exchange contact information, and then I'll ask my people to come and move the brain coral."
"Wait a minute." Xiang Yang stopped him and said, "Boss Qu, if you don't mind, why don't you come to my boat and have a drink before leaving? I just happened to catch a tongue fish? I can make a seafood hotpot."
In the second transaction with Boss Qu, although Boss Qu had clearly stated that the Fuji brain coral would be worth 700,000 or 800,000 in his hands, could he really have gotten a bargain in the first transaction? Was Boss Qu showing goodwill? Xiang Yang certainly would not do nothing.
"Oh? Tongue-shaped fish is a good thing." Boss Qu said with a smile: "You can keep the seafood hotpot, but forget about the wine? Aren't you afraid that Boss Xiang will laugh at me? I can drink so much that I get drunk after just one glass."
"Actually, I also get drunk after one glass." Xiang Yang laughed and said, "Let's each drink half a glass."
"Okay." Boss Qu agreed readily. He actually had a poor alcohol tolerance like Xiang Yang, but he liked to have a sip or two whenever he had time.
"Fang Youqun, help me get the seafood pot out." Xiang Yang shouted.
Then Xiang Yang made an invitation gesture to Boss Qu, "Let's go to the bow to eat, where we can enjoy the seafood hotpot while watching the scenery. The sea breeze will sober us up."
"Okay? Let's go to the bow and eat."
Immediately, one of the director's crew members brought two plastic chairs and a folding table to the bow for them.
"The seafood hotpot is here." Fang Youqun put a purple hotpot on the table and connected it to the power supply. He also placed a bottle of pure milk in front of Xiang Yang and Boss Qu, "Brother Yang, will the water take a while to heat up? You should drink a bottle of milk to warm your stomach first."
"Thank you." Boss Qu didn't hesitate to grab the bottle of milk and started drinking it, looking around as he drank.
Xiang Yang took out a bag of hot pot base and shook it in front of Boss Qu, "Do you like it cooked in plain water or with some seasoning?"
Many people like to eat seafood in its original flavor and don't like to add any seasoning, but Xiang Yang doesn't have this special hobby. He likes to add all kinds of seasonings to seafood, anyway, he makes it taste the best.
"As long as the host wishes, I'm fine with anything." Boss Qu said with a smile.
"Then add some hot pot ingredients. This hot pot ingredient is slightly spicy and a little bit numbing, and is perfect for seafood hot pot." Xiang Yang tore open the package of hot pot ingredients, broke off about a third of it and put it into the seafood pot, then began to put white radish into the seafood pot. "White radish can withstand boiling, so you can put it in before the water boils and cook it until the end. The taste is also extremely delicious."
Boss Qu picked up a fresh crayfish from a plate and put it into the seafood pot. "I don't like radishes very much. I prefer shrimp."
Seafood hotpot is a little different from ordinary hotpot.
Generally, hot pot is prepared by first putting the meat into the pot and boiling it until it is soft, then adding vermicelli, vegetables, etc. and blanching them before eating.
Seafood hotpot is just the opposite. First put in some vegetables, then wait for the water to boil, turn the heat to the minimum, and then pick up various seafood one by one and put them into the hotpot to blanch them. Most of the seafood does not need to be cooked for too long, you just need to blanch them before eating.
"Come on, let's have a toast." Xiang Yang raised his glass and said. As they ate and talked, their relationship became closer at a very fast speed. Xiang Yang also learned that Mr. Qu's name was Qu Yongchang, and also knew his general identity.
Qu Yongchang's family is not from the coastal area. He is from southern Hunan. His ancestor was originally a small civil servant. In the 1980s, he went into business and started a coral business.
At that time, coral was still a high-end product and few people in China could afford it at the beginning. His ancestors suffered heavy losses in the early years. It was not until his father took over the company that it gradually grew bigger and stronger. Now he has not officially taken over his father's business. After graduating from university, he is now working on his own.
"Brother Yang." After two sips of wine, Qu Yongchang was slightly drunk. He said, "Thank you very much. I have been to almost all the docks along the entire coastline since I left school last October. The two brain corals I received today are actually the two most valuable corals I have ever received."
