Yuyou has contacted flower, bird and fish clubs in several countries and reached preliminary cooperation intentions. They will each send a senior member to serve as a referee to score the rare flowers, birds, and fish on display. The event organizer will be responsible for the referee's board and lodging expenses during the event.
Naturally, such an event cannot be completed by herself. She hired a lawyer and a planning team to draw up a contract and standardize the event details.
There is no need to pay any fees to participate in the event. As long as you abide by the order, display ornamental species according to regulations, and provide appropriate discounts, you can register. An eye-catching event sign will be hung on the door of all participating stores. Store owners are happy to join this kind of activity that can increase popularity, revenue, and exposure.
What's more important is that Yu You grew up here, and every shop owner doesn't know her. During the few years she took over the maintenance shop, there was almost no sick fish in the aquarium shop here, unless it was a newly introduced fry. The shopkeepers may not know the specific reason, but Yuyou often visits their shop. Every time she goes there, she will buy the fish that are seriously ill, and those fish with minor problems will quickly recover to health, so there are many Shopkeepers regard her as the mascot of the Flower, Bird and Fish Market.
She planned this event, and all the shop owners responded and cooperated very well.
After reaching an agreement with the shop owners, Yu You took the plan with him and prepared to find sponsorship. Before he could take action, he received news from the lawyer. Dozens of equipment manufacturing, landscape design, toy production, fishery and other enterprise manufacturers came to him. Ling Ling Zong Zong provided a sponsorship fee of five to six million. I don’t know who helped contact her, but it really saved her a lot of time.
A few days later, Mr. Xie used his status as an honorary member of the Aquarium Association as a guarantee and helped Yuyou submit an event application. The application was approved the next day, and he officially received official certification and funding.
The preliminary preparations for the event were successfully completed with the assistance and support of the leaders from all parties. All that remains are time-consuming tasks such as designing event logos, printing voting cards and exhibit catalogs, sending invitations, and decorating the store. Just leave these to the planning team, and Yu You only needs to be responsible for overall planning and final control.
Although these things are tedious, they are not the most difficult part. The real test of strength will be the flower, bird, and fish grades that will be on display. If it cannot create a certain sensational effect, it will not be able to achieve Yuyou's expected goals. If demolition is necessary, it will still be demolished, so all the work will be in vain.
Yuyou counted the rare species in the entire flower, bird, and fish market, and found that there were only twenty-four species that could be considered top-grade, half of which were precious flowers, and there were only seven species of ornamental fish. There are quite a few middle-grade ones, but none of the top-grade ones.
If it were an ordinary event, this lineup would be considered good, but it might not be enough to make the Lanzhou City Flower, Bird and Fish Market a blockbuster.
Of course, there must be many store owners who have not released the real treasures. In order to stand out, they will definitely do their best, but the best ones are hard to come by and cannot be bought with money.
Yuyou, who is sitting on a vast sea, can find any grade of fish she wants, but she will not go to the bottom of the sea to fish. Most of these ornamental fish are artificially bred and have long been accustomed to the current life, but the wild fish on the seabed are different. Put them into a narrow fish tank and they may die soon.
Since you don’t want to fish on the bottom of the sea, then go to other cities to buy it.
Yu You looked at the electronic map on the screen, which identified dozens of flower, bird, and fish markets in coastal cities.
She can cross any sea area, but this sea area must be within the range that she can sense. The sea is like a transit station. It cannot be more than 5 kilometers away from the land, otherwise she will not be able to teleport there. But once you enter the sea, it only takes a matter of minutes to cross thousands of miles.
Taking ordinary transportation was too time-consuming, so Yuyou decided to take the sea route directly to other coastal cities to collect rare species. If everything went well, there would be about twenty days left, enough for her to breed a few top-quality ones.
In order to stop the demolition, she, who has always been meek, really fought hard this time.
At dawn, Yu You put on his swimsuit, put on his waterproof backpack, and with one step, he disappeared into the room like mist. The next second, it appeared in the sea 5 kilometers southwest. Then it shot away like a swordfish, leaving only a silvery white water mark.
Ten minutes later, Yuyou arrived at the first location - Yanyun.
Choosing an uninhabited coast, Yu You quickly teleported behind a reef. Stepping barefoot on the beach, Yu You put down his waterproof backpack, took out a towel from it, dried his body, put on dry clothes, shoes and socks, then put his backpack back on, took out Grandpa Turtle's phone, and opened the Gaode map.
The nearest aquarium store was about 7 kilometers away. Yuyou hailed a taxi and went straight to his destination.
The flower, bird and fish market in Yanyun is much more prosperous than that in Lanzhou City. It is vigorously promoted every year. Fish, birds, flowers and insects are fought. Players gather here and the atmosphere is lively. In comparison, Lanzhou City is completely free-range management, and the number and grade of ornamental species are far inferior.
The viewing party organized by Yu You has spread in the circle, but most foreign businessmen and aquarists are not very optimistic about it.
Is there a famous flower, bird and fish market in Lanzhou City? Have you participated in international competitions? Have you produced any top-notch products? Is there a master in charge? Nothing at all! They also have the nerve to hold an international viewing exchange meeting? How ridiculous!
After getting out of the taxi, Yu You walked through a pedestrian street and walked into the bustling flower, bird and fish market.
The moment she approached, all the freshwater fish, saltwater fish, ornamental turtles and amphibious reptiles in the aquarium shop all sensed her and gathered around to look up.
Yu You quickly glanced around the market, and then went straight to one of the large aquarium stores.
At this time, many customers gathered in front of an aquarium in the store, marveling at the ornamental fish in the tank.
Yu You took a look and saw that it was a yellow-bellied fairy, brightly colored and in excellent condition. By her standards, it would probably be a 5.5. For artificially raised ornamental fish, if the score exceeds 5 points, it is considered to be the best.
Unfortunately, Yuyou's funds are limited and he cannot buy too expensive species. Angelfish is a relatively expensive species among marine ornamental fish. In order to introduce as many new products as possible, she could only find ways to "pick up the slack".
For other people, it is naturally very difficult to pick up leaks, but for Yu You, it is a piece of cake. Before many fish mature, their surface characteristics are not obvious, making it difficult to tell their grade.
What Yu You is looking for is this kind of best that has not yet appeared.
Overcoming the crowd of onlookers, Yu You came to an aquarium on the left. There was a red velvet parrot fish in it. This is a kind of wrasses fish. It is not difficult to raise. However, due to the sparse output, it is relatively rare, and the price is often between Hundreds or more. It has a wonderful characteristic. The color of its body changes with its mood. Especially when courting, the color is particularly gorgeous.
The red velvet parrot in front of me must have just emerged. It has a slender body, gray color, and slow swimming speed. It shows the characteristics of not adapting to the environment. Facing the fish outside the fish tank, he gently swung his tail.
"Beauty, do you want to buy fish?" A tall and handsome young man came over and greeted with a smile, "This red velvet parrot is good. It just arrived. If the beauty likes it, buy it quickly, otherwise it will be needed soon. Was robbed by someone else.”
"How to sell it?" Yu You asked.
"Is this your first time visiting our store, beauty? How about I give you a preferential price of 1,488?"
Yu You was silent. Prices in Yanyun and Lanzhou City are indeed different. A small fish that doesn't perform well can be priced at thousands.
"Boss, there must have been something wrong with this red velvet when it was put into the tank. It couldn't open its mouth smoothly. As a result, it was not active in eating and was very weak. I don't think it will last long if I buy it back." What Yu You said about "it won't last long" is mainly Targeted at newbies and average players. Because I have no experience, I often get stuck in the first step.
"Ha, it turns out he is an expert." The young boss laughed dryly, looked at the red velvet, and said, "Well, I'll give you a big discount, 1,000 yuan. If you agree, then take it."
"500." Yu You directly gave him a single digit.
"That won't work. The cost price is even more than that." The young boss waved his hands repeatedly.
Yu You knew the cost price of various types of ornamental fish very well, so he naturally knew that this young man was deceiving people. However, she did not expose it, but turned to look at the yellow-bellied fairy that was being watched by people. Several customers were vying to bid for it, wanting to buy it.
The price of angel fish fluctuates greatly. Some of the best angel fish have no fixed selling price. Generally, the price goes to the one with the highest price. There was once a top-quality red mint fairy that sold for the price of a RV, which was considered a noble among nobles.
These guests came here so early, probably because they wanted to grab this yellow-bellied fairy while there were few people around.
"That yellow-bellied fairy is pretty good." Yu You commented.
"Are you interested? Unfortunately, it is the treasure of our store and is not for sale." The young boss was somewhat proud.
The so-called "not for sale" is just an excuse because the price is too low. Seawater ornamental fish are different from the Feng Shui fish in country Z. They have no special symbolic meaning and are not exquisite. As long as the technology is strong enough and there are enough channels, they can be raised. Number two, number three and more.
While Yu You was contemplating, the bidding over there became increasingly fierce.
"20,000!" shouted a red-skinned middle-aged man.
"20100." The elegant uncle next to him increased the price.
"30,000!"
"30100."
"Young man named Yang, are you deliberately teasing me?" A red-skinned middle-aged man said angrily to the elegant uncle next to him, "Every time I make a bid, you add 100. Isn't it disgusting?"
The elegant uncle spread his hands and said, "I'm just bidding rationally."
"You mean I'm irrational?"
The elegant uncle didn't say anything, but gave him an enigmatic smile.
The red-skinned middle-aged man was so angry that he shouted a high price: "50,000!"
The young boss's eyes lit up, he held back his excitement and waited to see what would happen.
At this time, a calm voice suddenly floated from the side: "That yellow-bellied fairy is indeed good, but it is only worth 10,000 yuan at most."
The sound was not loud, only the young boss next to him could hear it. He turned his head and looked at Yu You with an evil look: "What did you say?"
"Your yellow-bellied fairy has a flat and round body, pure color, elegant posture, and high quality. However, in order to make it look more dazzling, you adjusted the lights too high and allowed people to watch for a long time, and you did not take appropriate protection. Measures. I am sure that it will get sick in less than three days. The customer is definitely not paying a high price of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan to buy back a precious sick fish.”
The young boss's face changed slightly, and he quickly glanced at the two people who were bidding. He was relieved when he saw that they didn't pay attention.
"What do you want?" the young boss asked in a low voice.
"400, I want that red velvet." Yu You smiled and reported her conditions.
