Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1036 Negotiating the Price
"what?"

"Is it like this? Then don't I have to go home and prepare things right now?"

Ding Chongshan was stunned for a moment.

"dad!"

"The artificial islands and reefs are not far from here. If you want to go fishing right away, you can find a speedboat to take you there!"

"You can go out anytime!"

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled, and it was obvious that she was thinking of going out to sea to fish right away.

"It's definitely not possible to find a speedboat to go out to sea right now! We must prepare everything well, such as fishing rods and other things. Besides, it's impossible for Lin Zuhua to get here so quickly."

"We have to hurry up and get ready. We'll wait for Song Wei to come over. If you want to see the fish, we can go out to sea together."

Ding Chongshan stood up as he spoke, and immediately called Lin Zuhua to urge him to get ready and come over as they could go out to sea to fish at any time.

"Little sister!"

"Will the old lady disagree?"

Ding Jie was a little worried about this matter.

"What's the big deal? Dad didn't go fishing before. He had a lot of things to do and couldn't get away."

"There's nothing wrong with going fishing now that you have time, not to mention that this is a speedboat fishing trip that follows the ocean."

"There's no need to worry about safety!"

Ding Xiaoxiang knew that her mother Zhang Li opposed her father Ding Chongshan going out to sea for two reasons. One was that business was more important and he had to make money, and he couldn't go out to sea for fun all day. The other was that he was worried about safety.

Now I have my eldest and second brothers helping me with business matters, so I don’t need to worry too much about them.

The speedboat that Zhao Dahai was driving was not someone else's speedboat. In addition, Ding Dawen's fishing boat was near the artificial island reef, so there was no need to worry about safety.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun thought about it and realized that it was true.

After Ding Chongshan finished calling Lin Zuhua, he told Ding Jie and Ding Weijun that they had to keep an eye on the company's acquisitions and shrimp and crab business. Then he turned around and hurried back to the village to pack up his things. Zhao Dahai was fishing on the artificial island reef at this time, so he didn't need to bring anything else, just his own fishing rod and some clothes to change.

"Dad, this is really urgent, right?"

Ding Weijun didn't expect that they would leave so suddenly, so he went home immediately to pack his things.

"What's the big deal? You know how much Dad loves fishing!"

"In the past ten or eight years, I have rarely gone out to sea to fish for the sake of business in the store. Now I will definitely not miss the chance. I wish I could grow wings and fly out to the artificial islands and reefs immediately."

Ding Jie smiled.

"I think it's not just because I haven't fished for many years, or because I just like fishing. More importantly, I'm fishing with Zhao Dahai. If I follow someone else, I won't be able to catch as many fish. I don't have such a strong interest in fishing."

Ding Weijun knew that his father Ding Chongshan loved fishing, but if he went out to sea with other people's fishing boats or speedboats, he would not catch many fish in a day, so he would not be very interested. However, Zhao Dahai's speedboat could find out where the fish were and at higher speeds. It could teach fishermen how to fish. No matter what kind of person they were, they could catch big fish. This was the fundamental reason why his father Ding Chongshan could not wait to go out to sea to fish.

"Correct!"

"That's right! That's indeed what happened!"

Ding Jie suddenly laughed.

What Ding Weijun said makes a lot of sense. No matter how much you like going fishing at sea, the ultimate goal is to catch fish. If you can't catch fish, no matter how much you write, it will be useless and you will lose much interest in fishing.

On the contrary, if you can catch fish, especially big fish, you will definitely want to fish more and more.

On Zhao Dahai's speedboat, anyone with hands can catch fish, not to mention people like his father Ding Chongshan and Lin Zuhua who are experienced in fishing. They must have caught a lot and had a lot of fun. Who wouldn't want to catch fish like this?

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and called her mother Zhang Li to tell her that her father was going to go fishing at sea.

"what!"

"What did the old lady say?"

Ding Weijun saw that Ding Xiaoxiang had finished the call and was a little curious about what his mother Zhang Li had just said.

"What else can I say? I definitely disagreed at first, but when I heard that we were going to fish on a speedboat in the ocean, I said nothing."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled. At first, her mother Zhang Li disagreed, but she agreed when she heard that they were going to fish on Zhao Dahai's speedboat.

2 p.m.

Song Wei parked his car, opened the door and hurried into Ding Chongshan's company.

"what?"

"Boss Ding."

"What are you doing? Are you going out to sea for fishing?"

Song Wei saw Ding Chongshan packing things, all of which were fishing rods and reels, clearly going out to sea for fishing.

"Correct!"

"I'm just about to go fishing! My two sons are in charge of the fish, shrimp and crab purchase business in the company or the store, so I can leave for a while."

"Let's go fishing for a few days and relax. It's been years since I had a good fishing trip."

Ding Chongshan smiled and nodded. He went home in the morning to pack up his rod and reel. Now he was waiting here for Song Wei and Lin Zuhua to come.

"correct!"

"Didn't you say on the phone that you had tens of thousands of kilograms of grouper to sell?"

"Where is it?"

Song Wei and Ding Chongshan have been doing business for the past few years and are very familiar with each other. There is no need to be polite at this time and they just get straight to the point.

Ding Chongshan pointed at Ding Xiaoxiang and said that this was not his business, but the business of Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai. Ding Xiaoxiang could just come and negotiate, and he didn't need to interfere.

"Uncle Song!"

"I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be getting more energetic. It seems that your business is doing well and you are making more and more money."

Ding Xiaoxiang greeted Song Wei with a smile.

"Yo!"

"It looks like they are the fish Zhao Dahai caught?"

Song Wei was very happy.

The news about Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai has gradually spread, especially to those who have done business with Ding Chongshan for many years. If Ding Xiaoxiang talks about business with me, it must be about the fish caught by Zhao Dahai.

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded and told Song Wei that she now had about 40,000 kilograms of grouper and 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms of sea bass, most of which were alive.

"Uncle Song!" "The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs have been very high recently, but this is probably the highest point. Zhao Dahai has caught a lot of fish recently. We don't want to keep all of them in our hands. We want to sell most of them."

Ding Xiaoxiang was very direct and didn't beat around the bush. She could see that the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs had reached a high point. People like Song Wei who have been in this industry for many years could see that she was just thinking about selling the fish in her hands while the price was the highest.

"Correct!"

"The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs have risen sharply recently. They are still rising today, but they will definitely fall in a few days. It is definitely the most cost-effective to sell the fish now."

Song Wei nodded. Ding Xiaoxiang's prediction was very accurate. These few days were definitely the best time to sell the fish. If the price dropped in a few days, it would definitely not be cost-effective.

"Uncle Song!"

"Originally, we kept these fish on the fishing boat to sell to Hongyun Restaurant and another private restaurant, but the prices of fish, shrimp and crabs are the highest these days. Another reason is that Zhao Dahai, as I just mentioned, caught a lot of fish. Our fishing boat can't keep so many fish, or it's a bit risky to keep so many fish."

"My dad said you have the channels to sell these fish in a very short time."

"I wonder if you are interested?"

Ding Xiaoxiang glanced at Song Wei.

"what!"

"How could you not be interested?"

"The fish Zhao Dahai caught are all valuable. I wonder how many people want to get such fish."

"Hongyun Restaurant's business is so good, it must be due to the management skills of Liu Gang and Liu Lei, but now people in the circle are spreading the word that Zhao Dahai caught these fish and they are very popular."

"Without the fish Zhao Da caught, the business of Hongyun Restaurant would have been affected to at least three levels."

Song Wei was really interested in the fish caught by Zhao Dahai.

"I will buy it at whatever the market price is, no matter how much it is, and I will pay in cash."

Song Wei spoke without thinking.

"We are all business people and we are doing business."

"The fish Zhao Dahai catches are usually sold to Hongyun Restaurant or private restaurants. This price is not the market price."

"Plus, these are all groupers or larger sea bass, and they are all alive."

"Song Shuyi knows very well how popular this kind of fish is in the market, and I don't need to explain it to you."

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. The market price that Song Wei mentioned must be the purchase price. However, for her, the price of these fish that were originally sold to Hongyun Restaurant or private restaurants was higher than the market price, and much higher. She would not be happy if she sold them at the market price now.

"How can this be possible? I can't offer the same price as a private restaurant or Hongyun Restaurant, otherwise I won't make any money."

Song Wei refused without even thinking.

"Uncle Song!"

"If we sell these fish at market prices, Zhao Dahai and I will definitely lose at least 30%!"

"Since this is the case, I can't sell it. I'll keep it in my hands. Even if the market price drops, it can't drop so much all at once. Or I can just keep it in my hands even if I take a little risk and wait to sell it to Hongyun Restaurant or Private Restaurant slowly. Why sell it now?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was not in a hurry and talked about business with Song Wei calmly.

Song Wei was stunned for a moment. He must have his own reasons. He must have thought that he would buy it at the market price. With the popularity of the fish caught by Zhao Dahai in the market, he would be able to sell it at a good price. Tens of thousands of kilograms of grouper or large sea bass, all alive, would be a big business. He could make a lot of money by reselling them. But Xiaoxiang was right. If he really bought it at the market price, there was no need to sell the fish and keep them in his hands to sell to Hongyun Restaurant or private restaurant.

Song Wei knew that Ding Xiaoxiang was a smart person. It would be useless to use the same methods he used to deal with Ding Xiaoxiang as he did with others, not to mention that an old fox like Ding Congshan was next to her. Although he didn't say anything now, he would definitely speak up to stop it once Ding Xiaoxiang suffered a loss.

"As for the price, it is definitely not the price you sold it to Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant."

"If that's the case, I won't be able to make any money."

"The market price has increased by 30 percent!"

Song Wei thought about it and offered his own price.

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and nodded. What Song Wei said made sense. If it was really the price of Hongyun Restaurant owned by Liu Gang and Liu Lei, or the price of Wu Weimin's private restaurant, it would definitely not make money. Song Wei had no reason to do such a hard job. They were all acquaintances he had dealt with before, so the price he offered was quite sincere.

"Row!"

“This price is acceptable.”

Ding Xiaoxiang quickly calculated that 30% of the market price was indeed a good amount. If Song Wei lost weight, he could probably make 20% with his own channels.

"Uncle Song!"

"You will go to the fishing boat to check on the fish in a while, or go again tomorrow morning."

"The fishing boats are not at the dock right now."

"Zhao Dahai is out fishing now. The fishing boat is parked not far from the fishing spot and waiting. Once the boat has checked the fish and feels that there is nothing wrong with them, it will return to the dock."

Ding Xiaoxiang asked Song Wei when he was going to watch the fish.

"The sooner the better."

"The prices of fish, shrimp and crabs are likely to fall in the next few days. We have to hurry and sell these fish immediately, otherwise we won't make any money."

Song Wei wanted to go see the fish immediately.

Ding Xiaoxiang looked at Ding Chongshan.

"You guys go out to sea to see the fish first. I have to wait for Lin Zuhua to arrive before we go out to sea together. Otherwise, we can just wait for Ding Dawen's fishing boat to return to the dock in Zhuhai and go out together."

Ding Chongshan knew that Song Wei must be thinking about seeing the fish right away. No problem, he would send it back and sell it immediately to avoid any more trouble. However, he had to wait for Lin Zuhua to come before going out to sea to fish together. So Ding Xiaoxiang and Song Wei had to go out to sea first.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm here right now, right? Hurry up and arrange the speedboat. We'll go out to sea right away. We can't delay making money, and we can't delay fishing either."

Ding Chongshan turned around and saw Lin Zuhua coming in with two huge boxes in his hands.

"what!"

"You came really quickly, old man. You are right. We have to make money. We can't delay fishing."

"Everyone is here."

"I'll find a speedboat to take us out to sea now."

Ding Chongshan called Ding Jie to go to the dock to find a high-speed speedboat to send him and his men out to sea.

Ding Jie turned around and left. There was nothing much at the pier, just the speedboat and the fishing boat, which he could find in a short while.

Ding Xiaoxiang, Ding Chongshan, Lin Zuhua and Song Wei got on the speedboat and headed directly towards the artificial island.
