As soon as Xiang Yang said this, everyone gasped.
"Xiao Yang, are you saying that we are going to compete with those three seafood buyers in this town?" a fisherman asked blankly.
Xiang Yang glanced at everyone and said, "It's not that I want to play against them, but they have already put a knife to our necks. There will be only two outcomes of this matter. The best outcome is that we work together to drive those three seafood buyers out of Huhai Town. In the future, our Yanlong Village will be the seafood purchasing center of the entire Huhai Town. Everyone can earn more, and my Xiang family can also earn some hard work fees for being the matchmaker."
"This is the best outcome, what about the worst outcome?" a villager asked immediately.
"There is no worst outcome. As long as I can't completely drive away those three seafood buyers, I will completely give up the seafood purchasing business. As long as I stop purchasing seafood, those three seafood buyers in this town will definitely continue to buy your goods, but the price will..." Xiang Yang shook his head and stopped talking.
As the saying goes, it is easier to go from frugality to luxury than from luxury to frugality. After trying to sell some rare seafood such as swimming crabs and lobsters, the fishermen would definitely not be able to accept that they could not sell them at a price one day. Xiang Yang was not afraid that the villagers would not agree to his request.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiang Yang finished speaking, a villager immediately took the lead and said, "Damn it, those three profiteers in the town lowered my price and gave me a cold shoulder. I really gave him a bad face. Xiaoyang, what do you think we should do?"
"I have been patient with those three seafood buyers for a long time. Xiaoyang, you decide what to do."
The matter concerned vital interests and the crowd was very excited.
Xiang Yang smiled. "Actually, this is a very simple matter. From today on, in addition to purchasing valuable seafood such as swimming crabs and lobsters, I will also start purchasing all cheap seafood. I will compare the prices given to me by the bosses outside with the prices of the three seafood buyers in town and list all the seafood in a purchase price list."
Seeing everyone nodding, Xiang Yang finally told his real purpose. "It is not possible to completely drive away the three profiteers in the town just by stopping selling seafood to them. I know that many people in the village often go to other villages to buy swimming crabs and lobsters at a price lower than mine to make a profit from the difference. I need these people to negotiate a unified price before leaving the village, and each of them decide where to go after leaving the village, so as to help me bring all the catches from other fishing villages in Huhai Town to Yanlong Village."
"hiss!"
There was a sound of people gasping for air, and everyone was shocked by Xiang Yang's ambition.
There are tens of thousands of fishermen in the entire Huhai Town. How much money would it take to monopolize all the seafood in the entire Huhai Town
But immediately afterwards, many fishermen became excited. Xiang Yang did not plan to go to the entire Huhai Town to purchase seafood himself, which meant that there would be many seafood buyers in their Yanlong Village. When Xiang Yang was eating meat, they could drink the delicious broth.
What was originally a devastating event was turned into a happy event by Xiang Yang's few words, and all the fishermen were overjoyed.
Even Village Chief Zuo kindly invited Xiang Yang to have lunch at his home before leaving.
However, Xiang Yang didn't want to stay here. He made the excuse that he had things to deal with and immediately pulled Xiang's father and Xiang Hui to go home.
When they got home, Father Xiang asked sternly, "Xiaoyang, tell me the truth, can you really get a distribution channel for those cheap seafood?"
"Cheap seafood is easy to deal with. In fact, Boss Zhang specializes in wholesale of these cheap seafood. In the past, I didn't want to touch them because the quantity was too small and I couldn't make much money. In the future, if the quantity is large, these things will actually make money faster than swimming crabs and lobsters."
Xiang Yang rubbed his brows and said, "Actually, what I'm really worried about are some low-end seafood that is not easy to preserve."
"Mid- to low-end?" asked Xiang's father.
"Forget it, I can solve this problem." Xiang Yang shook his head and stopped worrying about it. In fact, this problem cannot be solved in a short time, and we can only think of a solution later. However, the volume of cheap seafood is huge, and the profit is enough to make up for Xiang Yang's losses in low-end and mid-range seafood. Xiang Yang still makes pure profit from those high-end and rare seafood.
Xiang Yang walked towards his room, stopped at the door, turned around and said, "Xiaohui, come in, I want to talk to you alone."
"What's wrong? Second brother?" Xiang Hui asked in confusion.
Xiang Yang first closed the door of the room, and then said: "At that time, I asked you to get on my boat to help you, but you felt that you were not free and did not want to get on. What are your plans for the future?"
Xiang Hui said unnaturally: "What plans can I make? Just live like this."
"Do you really think that I will just leave the task of purchasing seafood to your second uncle and not take care of anything else? You must have been running to other villages a lot these days, right?" Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Xiang Hui's face froze, "Second brother, how did you know?"
Xiang Yang asked back, "Fatty Zuo said that you have never been to the dock during this period, but you got the most lobsters, swimming crabs and the like in the whole village. How do you think I know that?"
"That fat guy Zuo." Xiang Hui was immediately furious. "I'm going to settle the score with him."
"Okay, this is nothing shameful. I can guess it even if Fatty Zuo didn't say it." Xiang Yang pondered for a moment before saying, "Now is the time to open up seafood purchasing channels. Next, you should work hard and train yourself well. If I can really drive away those three seafood buyers, I may need to ask you a favor."
"What? Brother, you're not sure you can drive away those three profiteers?" When Xiang Hui heard the words "if you can", his voice suddenly rose several decibels.
"Keep your voice down." Xiang Yang glared at Xiang Hui before saying, "They have been established in Huhai Town for so many years. Everyone wants to drive away the other two. Countless seafood buyers have collapsed along the way, but the three of them have always stood firm. Do you think they are all vegetarians?"
The three seafood buyers in the town have many advantages over Xiang Yang. Not to mention that they have been established in Huhai Town for many years and are deeply rooted. Just the fact that they have a shipping channel from cheap seafood to mid- and low-end seafood, and then to high-end seafood and precious seafood is something Xiang Yang cannot compare with.
Although Xiang Yang can compete with them with price advantage now, it is actually because no one in Huhai Town competed with them before. They are the market of Huhai City, so they dare to be such a profiteer.
Now Xiang Yang has made a move. The three seafood buyers in the town are cunning but not stupid. They will definitely counter his moves and at least raise the prices of those high-end seafood in a short period of time.
Of course, Xiang Yang is no pushover. At least when it comes to the ability to acquire high-end seafood, Xiang Yang is far beyond the reach of those three people.
