My Deep Sea Fishery

Chapter 49: Developing the market (Part 2)

Views:

How prosperous Pengcheng is has nothing to do with Xiang Yang.

No one welcomed Xiang Yang who came to Pengcheng for the first time, and some even looked sarcastic.

Several seafood store owners stood together and looked in the direction where Xiang Yang was.

"Do you think those guys are stupid? The goods on the truck were barely moved after being sold all day yesterday. Not only are they not moving today, but they're actually bringing another batch of goods here?"

"Who knows? I don't know what they were thinking. No one bought their goods yesterday. Do they think they will have them today?"

"Look, in two days at most they will be gone in disgrace."

"I don't bother to look at them."

... ...

Ignoring the sarcasm from the seafood store owners on both sides of the aquatic market, Xiang Yang unscrewed a bottle of drinking water, took a big gulp and asked, "What's going on? These catches seem to have not been touched!"

"It's not that it looks like it hasn't been touched, it's actually not touched." Uncle Xiang smiled bitterly and repeated to Xiang Yang the words of the seafood store owner Wu Zhan.

Xiang Yang looked around Wu Zhan's shop.

Seeing that Wu Zhan's shop was only about 30 to 40 square meters in size, with two large freezers and a few aquariums, and only a few large wooden basins at the door of the shop, Xiang Yang's eyes lit up, "It's possible that such a shop can sell thousands of kilograms of low-end seafood every month? This business is booming!"

"How can it not be prosperous? This is Pengcheng." Zhou Wang said with a wry smile.

Xiang Yang nodded. Pengcheng is a megacity with tens of millions of permanent and floating population every year. Every day, there are people who make a fortune in this city, while there are also people who work hard but still cannot get enough food.

"My catch is not enough to expand the market of Yangcheng and Pengcheng, let alone supply such a small market." Xiang Yang laughed at himself, "The boat is still too small!"

Uncle Xiang said somewhat embarrassedly: "Xiao Yang, we haven't sold all the fish yet."

Xiang Yang pointed to Wu Zhan's shop and said, "Uncle, please ask Boss Wu to come over for me."

Although He Mingde didn't know why Xiang Yang wanted to invite Wu Zhan over, he immediately walked towards Boss Wu's seafood store without asking anything.

Within two minutes, Uncle Xiang and Boss Wu walked out of the seafood store together. Xiang Yang could vaguely hear their conversation.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you. I've already told you the reason. I really can't take your seafood!"

"No, this time it's our captain who wants to see you."

"I told you I can't take your seafood anymore, it's no use asking me to see anyone!"

Xiang Yang took the initiative to greet him without waiting for him to come over, "Hello, Boss Wu, my name is Xiang Yang."

"Wu Zhan." Boss Wu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xiang Yang, looking at Xiang Yang suspiciously, "Boss Xiang, who are you looking for?"

Xiang Yang took out a foam box from the truck, opened it and handed it to Wu Zhan without saying anything.

The foam box contained four swimming crabs and an ice pack.

Wu Zhan didn't care at first, but after just one look, he was instantly excited. He took the foam box with both hands, stared at it carefully again and again, and then said in surprise: "This is a swimming crab weighing 4 taels each."

Xiang Yang said slowly: "The second batch of fish I brought over weighed about 500 kilograms in total, including 30 large lobsters, and the remaining 400 kilograms were all swimming crabs weighing more than 4 taels each."

"Yes, I want them all." Wu Zhanlian said, "Boss Xiang, I'll take all the goods you brought here in person. You decide how much per pound you want."

Xiang Yang looked at Wu Zhan with a smile, "Boss Wu, do you think it's possible?"

Wu Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Xiang, I can buy these goods from you at a price 10% higher than the normal wholesale price."

Xiang Yang shook his head slowly. "To tell you the truth, I have no problem selling these swimming crabs even if I sell them at the market price. I found you first because you told my people some useful information and established a good relationship with me. But if you are not sincere, then let's forget it."

Wu Zhan smiled bitterly, "Boss Xiang, you want me to take all the seafood you brought in before, right? But your batch of seafood weighs more than 3,000 kilograms, and I really can't consume it all!"

"How about this." Wu Zhan pointed at Zhou Wang, "This brother said before that he could give me those seafood at a price 10% lower than my normal purchase price. Boss Xiang, if you can bargain for a little more, I can help you buy this batch of goods, and then distribute them to a few seafood restaurants that have a good relationship with me to sell together."

Xiang Yang glanced at Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang winked at Xiang Yang repeatedly, almost agreeing on his behalf. This time, Master Zhou was really scared of selling his catch. He hadn't sold a single fish in a whole day, and now someone was willing to buy this batch of goods, so why wouldn't he agree? Even if the price was lower, it was better than letting all the fish rot in his hands.

"I'm here to sell my catch. If the price is cheaper than those of your local suppliers, then I'm here to mess things up. Taking into account the shipping cost, the prices of my mid- and low-end seafood will even have to increase by another 10%. I can sell you swimming crabs weighing more than 4 taels at a price that is 10% higher than your normal wholesale price. Anyway, there are only less than 500 kilograms of swimming crabs in total. I will wholesale you as much swimming crabs as you consume my mid- and low-end seafood." Xiang Yang said.

"This." Wu Zhan hesitated.

"Captain." Zhou Wang winked at Xiang Yang repeatedly. You're raising the price of something that can't be sold even at a lower price? Aren't you just trying to get the goods in your hands

Xiang Yang ordered, "Master Zhou, go to the car and get a box of swimming crabs and show it to other seafood store owners in the market. If they are interested in buying, just say what I just said."

"No, don't go. I want it. I want it all." After hearing this, Wu Zhan roared like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Uh." Zhou Wang stopped and looked at Xiang Yang, then at Wu Zhan, "Captain, do you still want to go?"

He Mingde and the old sailor looked at Xiang Yang as if he were a god. They had been selling things for so long and had not sold them at a lower price, but Xiang Yang actually raised the price when he arrived? The most important thing was that even after the price was raised, others still acted as if they were afraid that Xiang Yang would not sell to them? What was the logic behind this

The most frightening thing about doing business is being led by the nose by others.

In fact, it was only at this time that Xiang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Xiang Yang looked at Wu Zhan with a half-smile, and asked with a look of concern for him: "Boss Wu, can you sell so many goods? It won't be too difficult for you, right?"

"This..." Boss Wu was actually in a really difficult situation. It was impossible for him to sell all of these hard-to-sell low-end seafood products. However, Wu Zhan was determined to get the batch of swimming crabs that weighed more than 10 grams each.

A swimming crab weighing 4 taels is definitely a rare commodity in this seafood market. Hype it up will not only allow Wu Zhan to make a lot of money during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, but will also add a group of more high-end customers to his store.
