The fishermen didn't care what Xiang Yang's dream was. They only knew that Xiang Yang was willing to share with them a sea area rich in tiger ear mushrooms. They only knew that Xiang Yang was willing to help them get rich together. Immediately, they all thanked Xiang Yang profusely and rushed to help Xiang Yang transport the red tiger ear mushrooms he collected on the fishing boat back to Xiang's home.
Xiang Yang was not pretentious. He simply asked a few young and strong fishermen to take some each, and then they picked up all the red tiger ear mushrooms and walked towards home.
The villagers who were called by Xiang Yang had no complaints at all. Instead, they were as excited as if it was New Year.
The news that there was an area of sea near Qinglongwan where tiger ear mushrooms abounded spread throughout Yanlong Village like a gust of wind. The villagers' enthusiasm for purchasing diving equipment rose again. More than one hundred sets of equipment had been registered and paid for with Village Chief Zuo alone.
Xiang Yang didn't know this news, but even if he knew it, it wouldn't matter. Ever since the tiger ear mushroom was discovered at the bottom of the sea near Qinglong Bay, Xiang Yang would no longer worry about whether the villagers would lose money after purchasing diving equipment.
Xiang Yang returned home and was about to take a bath with fresh water when he heard someone calling him outside the house.
When I went out to take a look, I saw that it was Fatty Zuo who was dragging over the horsehead fish he had caught today.
Horsehead fish is in a rather awkward position in the seafood market. Horsehead fish is not presentable enough in high-end hotels and few hotels are willing to buy it. Wholesale markets are also unwilling to spend a lot of effort to keep alive horsehead fish which are not very valuable and are easy to die.
Zhang Qicheng's seafood market also buys horsehead fish, but only frozen dead fish. The horsehead fish that Fatty Zuo dragged over are still very fresh. If they were sold as frozen dead fish, they would obviously be at a loss.
"Well, let me ask for you!" Xiang Yang couldn't stand Fatty Zuo's pleading, so he had to take out his cell phone and call Boss Li.
"Hello, Brother Xiang, why are you calling me today?" After Li Chao had talked with Xiang Yang several times on the phone, Xiang Yang's name had already been saved in his address book. He knew the call was from Xiang Yang before Xiang Yang even opened his mouth.
"I got some good stuff again, and by the way, I would like to ask Mr. Li for a small favor." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"oh?"
Boss Li said "Oh" and nothing else. Xiang Yang could only continue, "Boss Li, you know Tiger Ear Mushrooms, right? I got a batch of Tiger Ear Mushrooms, about 100 kilograms. If you are interested, Boss Li, you should be able to get a lot more later."
When Boss Li heard that it was Tiger Ear Mushroom, he immediately became interested and asked, "What color is it?"
"If it wasn't red, would I dare to call you, Mr. Li?" Xiang Yang said half-jokingly.
"Haha, Brother Xiang is really good at joking. You're always welcome to call me. I want all this batch of tiger ear mushrooms, and I'll buy all the rest in the future. The price is twelve thousand a kilo, what do you think? By the way, you just asked me for a favor, just tell me what it is."
Tiger ear mushrooms only cost 1,000 yuan per kilo in the town, and Xiang Yang was of course satisfied that Boss Li could offer 1,200 yuan. Xiang Yang also knew that the price of tiger ear mushrooms was very transparent in the market. Although it was very expensive, the profit margins of middlemen in each link were very small. So Xiang Yang took the opportunity to tell him about the 400 to 500 kilograms of fresh horsehead fish.
Boss Li obviously knew the awkward position of horsehead fish in the seafood market, but after hearing Xiang Yang say that there were only four or five hundred kilograms, Boss Li agreed without any hesitation to buy all the horsehead fish in Xiang Yang's hands at the price of 40 yuan per kilogram. In addition to high-end restaurants, his hotel also has a buffet restaurant. Horsehead fish cannot be served in high-end restaurants, but there is no problem in a buffet restaurant.
After finishing the call with Boss Li, Xiang Yang looked at Fatty Zuo unhappily, "35 yuan a pound. If you want to sell it, go and weigh it yourself. If you don't want to sell it, take it home quickly."
Fatty Zuo had just vaguely heard the conversation between Xiang Yang and Boss Li. Knowing that Xiang Yang had only earned a little money from his hard work, he nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xiang Yang looked at Fatty Zuo who was busy and shook his head slightly. In fact, Xiang Yang didn't even make any money from this business, because horsehead fish were very difficult to keep alive after being brought ashore. Several of them died on the way to Boss Li's hotel. Adding the freight, there was no profit at all, not to mention that he also owed Boss Li a favor.
After taking a shower, Xiang Yang called another Huolala, stuffed the weighed red tiger ear mushrooms and horsehead fish into the Huolala and delivered them to Boss Li.
If Xiang's father came back and knew that Xiang Yang had just given away a truckload of seafood that was ten times more valuable than the turbot, I wonder what kind of expression he would have.
Xiang Yang, however, simply said that honesty in business is earned. The other party did not play any tricks when facing a treasure like the French Blue Dragon, so how could he ruin his reputation for a tiny profit
Sure enough, when the Huolala driver delivered the goods to Boss Li's hotel, Xiang Yang had just received a call from the Huolala driver saying that the goods had been delivered, and the next moment Xiang Yang received a bank transfer notification on his mobile phone. The money Boss Li transferred was even hundreds of yuan more than Xiang Yang himself estimated.
In the evening, Xiang's father returned home and brought back half a pound of braised beef.
At the dinner table, when Xiang's father heard Xiang's mother say that he had just left in the morning, and Xiang Yang had picked a batch of red tiger ear mushrooms in the afternoon and had already sent them out and earned over 100,000 yuan, the expression on his face was very indescribable.
"Xiaoyang." Father Xiang hesitated.
"What's wrong, Dad?" Xiang Yang looked at his father strangely while putting the braised beef into his mouth.
"Can you get your diving equipment back for Dad?" asked Xiang's father.
Xiang Yang was suddenly speechless. It turned out that his father was also attracted by the bizarre seabed.
But this is a good thing. Even Xiang's father, who now earns a lot of money by collecting seafood at home every day, is tempted. How can other fishermen resist? After discovering a sea area that produces tiger ear mushrooms, Xiang Yang eliminated the worries of fishermen who would lose money if they bought diving equipment. He also hoped that everyone would buy a set of diving equipment.
In Xiang Yang's view, at this stage, a set of diving equipment is like a seed of ambition. This seed does not need any watering after it is planted. As long as the villagers can taste the sweetness of the ocean treasure, Xiang Yang has the confidence to let this seed grow into a huge fleet that can play an important role in the world.
"Okay, I'll get you a set later." Xiang Yang did not refuse Xiang's father's request, nor did he say that the village chief was currently making centralized purchases.
Xiang's father had never asked Xiang Yang to do anything in his life. Now that he had asked this time, Xiang Yang would definitely do his best to get the best for Xiang's father.
When Xiang's father heard Xiang Yang say this, he was immediately happy and kept putting food into Xiang Yang's bowl.
Xiang Yang looked at his happy father and was slightly stunned, then he suddenly understood everything. After understanding, Xiang Yang felt sad.
Xiang Yang knew that Xiang's father must have known that he had told others about the channel to buy the diving equipment, and that he had promised to tell the villagers where the tiger ear mushrooms grew after the diving equipment came back. He even knew that he had borrowed more than 2 million yuan from outside before he asked him to buy a set of diving equipment.
The villagers have been very kind to Xiang's father. Without the help of the villagers, Xiang's father, who grew up begging, would not be alive today. Xiang's father cannot blame Xiang Yang for helping the villagers, but Xiang's father really feels sorry for the money!
Xiang's father was the only one who could see through Xiang Yang's ambition. Outsiders only hoped that Xiang Yang could fly high, but Xiang's father was afraid that Xiang Yang would fall. He wanted to catch as much as possible from the bottom of the sea while he could still swim. In case one day in the future Xiang Yang fell to the ground and couldn't get up, he could take out some money and once again be Xiang Yang's solid backing.
