Xiang Yang responded to all these requests without any impatience, but he didn't take it too seriously in his heart. The bids offered by the later group of people were obviously much lower than the price given by Li Chao. In fact, this is easy to understand. Li Chao himself is the big boss, and the later group of people are all buyers, who want to make some price difference or kickbacks in the middle.
In the future, if there is such good product again and there is no better shipping channel, Xiang Yang will definitely contact Li Chao first.
After adding the last buyer as a friend and saying goodbye to each other, Xiang Yang walked out of the room.
Xiang's mother was boiling water. In just a short while, she had already processed the internal organs of the sea cucumbers and just needed to wait for the water to boil before pickling them.
"You little brat, stop going in and out and being an eyesore. Come quickly and help me pickle these sea cucumbers. Pick out the biggest ones and send them to your third uncle's house tonight. Sell the others." Xiang's mother shouted hurriedly as soon as she saw Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Mom, pick one and I'll deliver it to Uncle San's house tonight. Don't deal with the others. Someone has already placed an order. The customer asked me to put it in the refrigerator. He will send someone to deal with it himself in the afternoon."
"Did it really sell? How much did it sell for?" Xiang's mother was slightly excited. In her opinion, people on the Internet were all stupid and had a lot of money. Those unwanted seashells on the beach could be sold for dozens of dollars a string, which she had never dared to imagine before.
"I don't know how much it can be sold for before it's weighed, but they offered me five thousand yuan per pound." Xiang Yang nodded.
"Oh, five thousand! Ten kilograms can only be sold for three or four thousand in town. These people on the Internet are really stupid and money-conscious..." Mother Xiang was halfway through her words when her eyes suddenly widened, her breathing became rapid, and her voice became much higher. "Wait, how much did you say you sold it for per kilogram?"
Xiang Yang didn't explain, but took out his mobile phone, opened the chat history with Li Chao and showed it to Xiang's mother.
"Well, see for yourself."
Although Xiang's mother had never seen the world, she was literate. She held her phone in her hands with eyes wide open and read the chat records over and over again.
"this!"
The more Xiang's mother looked at it, the more surprised she was, but at the same time, she was also slightly worried, "Xiang Yang, why is this boss offering ten times more than what we would sell it for in town? Is he really a liar? Is he just teasing us for fun?" Without seeing the cash, Xiang's mother could not feel at ease.
Xiang Yang smiled but said nothing. Seafood is a very complicated thing and he couldn't explain it clearly in a short time. But what Xiang Yang knew was that the seafood buyers in the town would not sell the seafood directly to consumers after purchasing it. It would go through several middlemen in the middle, which invisibly lowered the price of seafood.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that seafood buyers deliberately lower prices, otherwise no matter how many people are involved, the price difference will not be more than ten times.
"Mom, I'll send this one to my third uncle's house tonight after it's pickled. I'll deposit the rest at the village store." Xiang Yang picked up the bag of sea cucumbers, picked out a larger one and was about to leave. Although there was a policy of sending home appliances to the countryside two years ago, refrigerators were still a rare item in Yanlong Village at that time, at least Xiang Yang's family didn't have one.
"Stop, kid." Xiang's mother quickly snatched the bag from Xiang Yang's hand and threw the sea cucumber that Xiang Yang took out back.
Xiang Yang looked at his mother in surprise.
Mother Xiang said in great sorrow, "Are you stupid? Since the boss comes to collect them at night, and these sea worms are so valuable, why are you wasting your time going to the store? I'll call your father to come back, and you and your son can go to the sea to catch more. I'll keep these in the store."
Xiang Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His family was still too poor. He was afraid that his mother's request for him to go to the sea to catch sea cucumbers again was fake. Her real concern was for the large sea cucumbers to be sent to his uncle's house. Although it was a great honor for his uncle to introduce him to a job, a large sea cucumber worth several thousand dollars was a huge sum of money in Xiang's mother's eyes.
"Okay." Xiang Yang smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't want to go to that electronics factory in the first place, and now that he got the mysterious jade shell, he naturally didn't want to go even more.
"You wait for your dad to come back at home." After giving these instructions, Xiang's mother hurriedly walked out of the house with the bag of sea cucumbers. If nothing unexpected happened, she would not be back all afternoon. Knowing that these sea cucumbers were so valuable, Xiang's mother would not be able to feel at ease unless she watched them in person in the store. Although the villagers were all simple and honest, they didn't mind losing ten thousand yuan. What if one happened
Not long after, the door opened. Xiang Yang knew it was his father from the footsteps. It must have been his mother who notified him.
"Haha, Xiaoyang, I heard from your mother that you have made a fortune? Hey, where is your mother?" Xiang's father was very happy and shouted as soon as he got home. However, he looked around and did not see Xiang's mother at home.
Xiang Yang explained a few words to his father, and his father's eyes lit up and his heart flew to the seaside. Before Xiang Yang finished speaking, he immediately said hurriedly: "Come on, Xiaoyang, grab your gear, and go to the sea."
Xiang Yang gave a bitter smile, but did not refuse. The thing that Xiang's father mentioned was actually a fishing net bag that could be tied around the waist. The two men changed their clothes, tied a fishing net bag around their waists respectively, and walked towards the beach.
Of course, this trip was destined to be fruitless, mainly because the water at the place where the sea cucumbers were caught was quite deep and most people could not dive down, and Xiang Yang did not want to attract too much attention with Lao next to him. Xiang Yang thought that he should get a set of diving equipment back. After getting the mysterious jade shell, he was destined to get a lot of high-end seafood from the bottom of the sea in the future. If he had a set of diving equipment, many things would be much easier to explain.
When he got to the sea, Xiang Yang randomly chose a shallow spot and sank into the water. As for why there were no sea cucumbers underwater? Come on, sea cucumbers are animals and can move.
"What bad luck! I only caught a crab in this whole afternoon." After soaking in the sea for an afternoon, Xiang's father swam back to the shore cursing, but he did not hide the joy on his face at all. In recent years, fishery resources have been scarce and even crabs are scarce. The most important thing is that the meat of crabs at the seaside is delicious but not very valuable. If Xiang's mother caught a precious lobster, she would definitely not be willing to eat it. Today, Xiang Yang earned a lot of money for the family, and Xiang's father also wanted to reward Xiang Yang with this crab.
Xiang Yang also swam back to the shore with a smile. The father and son put on their clothes and walked home.
Before I even got home, Xiang's mother ran out happily, "Old Xiang, Xiaoyang, we sold the sea cucumbers. They weighed a little over 11 kilograms and sold for more than 50,000 yuan."
As soon as these words came out, Xiang's father's expression was obviously stunned, and he almost dropped the crab in his hand. "How much? Fifty thousand? Where's the money?" Xiang's father asked three questions in a row. Although Xiang Yang had already told him that those sea cucumbers were worth five thousand yuan per catty, he always felt uneasy without getting the money.
"Here, here it is!" Xiang's mother took out an Honor 4 series mobile phone like presenting a treasure, and on it was a bank card payment information. She had counted the decimal point of this money no less than dozens of times.
