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

Chapter 1099 Things Go Smoothly

"It would be great if we could get an extra 200 to 300 square meters of this place. Even if we spend a little more money, even if we don't raise fish and sell it to others, or even if we wait until we really start raising fish, it would be great."

"I'll talk to Grandpa Shi Guangming about this matter when I see him. Let's see if there's any chance."

"If there's a chance, we'll take it down. If there's no chance, forget it. It won't hurt to ask anyway."

Shi Xiaoxiang thought about it and made up her mind. She would talk about this matter with the people of the embassy when Jianchao arrived to see if they could take over more sea area.

This place near the Shijiao Village Pier not only has deep water, but also very good water quality. More importantly, there are not many such places here. Now my family is the only one that has fish farms. The fewer fish farms the better. If there are other fish farms all around, although my family’s fish farms do not raise fish like ordinary fish farms, they will definitely be affected.

"Row!"

"You can discuss this matter with Shi Guangming later to see if there is such an opportunity."

"correct!"

"Yang Zhenhua contacted Shi Guangming again. I guess he wanted to find you or Zhao Dahai. He couldn't find anyone, so he contacted Shi Guangming again and said that the store was willing to sell."

"I told Shi Guangming that we didn't have to lower the price, but during our last meeting, Yang Zhenhua asked for a very high price."

"If I want to sell it now, it definitely won't be at the market price. No matter what the market price is now, it must be 50,000 yuan lower than the market price."

"If Yang Zhenhua is willing, we'll take it down. If not, then forget it."

Shi told Ding Xiaoxiang what he had talked about with Shi Guangming.

"Second Grandpa!"

"The location of this Zhenhua store at the pier is really great, and the area is large enough. If I can take it, I will definitely be happy to do so!"

"If Yang Zhenhua really agrees to this price, we can get it."

"Such a shop is very suitable for personal use, renting to others, or leaving to descendants."

"We will take it even if it is 50,000 yuan below the market price, or even 10,000 yuan below the market price. We don't want the money, we just want to save face."

Ding Xiaoxiang nodded. She really wanted to take over this shop, but Yang Zhenhua asked for too much at the beginning. She had not contacted Yang Zhenhua these days. As long as Yang Zhenhua took the initiative to come to her, as long as the price was slightly lower than the market price, she would buy it because she could save face.

"Correct!"

"The location and area of ​​this store at the dock are very good. We don't lack the money, so if we can take it, then take it."

Zhao Shi strongly agreed with Ding Xiaoxiang's approach.

Yang Zhenhua was asking for a big sum, so he definitely couldn't agree to it. Otherwise, if the news got out, Hai Luo Ding Xiaoxiang would have to raise extra money for whatever he bought next, and no one would do that.

But no matter what, you have to do business and buy things. The store location is very good and very cost-effective. Business is business and it can't be a fight. As long as you get the face, you will buy the store.

It is really rare for Ding Xiaoxiang to understand such a truth at her age and not to ignore everything for the sake of face.

"Shi Guangming should have discussed this matter with Yang Zhenhua when he returned home last night. If they can come to an agreement, then he can buy this store."

Zhao Shi pointed in the direction of the pier and asked Ding Xiaoxiang if she had thought about how to use the shop if it was taken over.

Yang Zhenhua took the initiative to find Shi Guangming, and it can be said that he can almost win the case with a 100% chance.

There is definitely no problem with the price. If Yang Zhenhua can sell it to someone else, he will never look for Shi Guangming again.

Ding Xiaoxiang shook her head. She had two purposes in wanting to buy this shop. One was to give Ding Dawen or her people a place to stay when they returned to the dock so they wouldn't have to stay on the fishing boat all the time. They could install a telephone or something. The other was that buying this shop was an investment. There was no point in keeping the money in the bank and it had to be spent. Since the location of the shop was good, she might as well buy it and wait for the price to go up in the future.

"Second Grandpa!"

"After we buy this shop, it is basically impossible for us to rent it out. We will definitely use it ourselves."

"There doesn't seem to be much need for doing business for now. Let's just do what we said before. There's a place where Da Wen Ge or the rest of us can sit down and have a rest and a meal after returning from the sea. We'll talk about it later if we have any ideas."

Ding Xiaoxiang really didn't expect that taking over this shop would lead to something. Shops in places like this usually do business, but she didn't want to rent it out to other people. She has too many things on her hands now and is too busy to handle it. It is impossible for her to do business for another year, at least not now.

"There is one more important thing!"

Zhao Shi remembered what Shi Guangming had said to him yesterday about purchasing fish. If Xiaoxiang took over this shop, this would be of immediate use.

Zhao Shi recounted in detail the entire story that Shi Guangming had told him yesterday.

"Second Grandpa."

"This is definitely a good thing for my dad and my brother. It can't be this good."

"Nowadays, sea fishing boats can catch a lot of fish every time they go out to sea, and we will definitely be able to catch more in the future."

"My dad and his family are in the business of buying fish, shrimps and crabs. If we buy these fish and sell them, we will definitely make more money. Plus, my eldest brother and second brother are coming home to help with the business, so we have enough manpower."

"I was originally thinking about how to buy more fish, shrimp and crabs. This kind of thing must be pie in the sky."

"But I've always been a little hesitant about whether to do business with my family."

"Now there is indeed a little bit, but not much. Most of the time, it is the fish caught by Zhao Dahai that cannot be sold in a short period of time, so he sells it to my family. Another thing is that when there is an order for large top-quality grouper, it is also my family's channel that handles this matter."

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little hesitant, always feeling that this was not a good idea.

"Xiaoxiang."

"I know what you are worried about, but there is really no need to do this."

"What old man Shi Guangming said is really true. Why should the money be earned by others instead of by his family members?"

“It’s just that simple.”

"Think about it. You can catch so many fish in the sea. Another thing is that sea fishing boats can catch so many fish every time they go out to sea. You can't sell all of them to other seafood buyers and let these seafood buyers make money, but your father won't make any money, right?"

"You haven't married Zhao Dahai yet, so this is still understandable. But if you still do this after you marry Zhao Dahai, people will definitely gossip about you behind your back if the news gets out."

"Whether it's for you or Zhao Dahai, it's not a nice thing to hear."

"My idea is very simple. Even though you and Zhao Dahai haven't gotten married yet, the matter has already been settled. Don't think too much about it. Just do business as it should. The money should definitely be earned by your family members. It's impossible for others to earn it."

Zhao Shi smiled. He was worried that other people would gossip about his family making money from Zhao Dahai.

Would anyone say this?
There must be people who do this, and there are many people who say this!

But if Ding Xiaoxiang really doesn't do business with her family at all, people around her will say that Ding Xiaoxiang, especially Zhao Dahai, is unkind. He would rather let other people or outsiders make money than let his family members make money.

No matter how you do this kind of thing, someone will talk about it!

Ignore it at all!

Just do business directly with the people at home!
What Shi Guangming said is very true. This money is definitely earned by those who are at the rumored price. There is no need to worry about anything else.

"Row!"

"Second Grandpa, you and Grandpa Shi are right. No matter what you say or do, there will always be people gossiping behind your back."

"I'll talk to my dad about this later."

"If we can take over Yang Zhenhua's shop, it will be just right for us."

Ding Xiaoxiang figured out everything here and did it quickly and efficiently without any drag.

Zhao Shi nodded. He had originally been thinking of going to talk to Ding Chongshan about this matter with Shi Guangming. Now that Ding Xiaoxiang said she would go, then she would go. For something like this, it would actually be safer for Ding Xiaoxiang to talk to Ding Chongshan, as she could explain it more clearly.

Ding Xiaoxiang stayed on the fish farm for two hours, checking everything and making sure there were no problems. She was thinking about purchasing the fish. In two days, Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat would return to the dock, and these things had to be discussed before that. She left the fish farm and went to the dock, and immediately went to find Ding Chongshan.

Zhao Shi walked around the fish fillet, said something to Ding Ailian, Ma Baozhu and others, then returned to the room. He looked around and had to say that the fish steak built by Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai was really very good.

Zhao Shi lit up a hookah and took two puffs. He heard the sound of a speedboat outside. He walked out and saw Shi Guangming coming over.

"What about Ding Xiaoxiang's?"

"Why don't you see anyone?"

Shi Guangming got on the fish rack and looked around but didn't see Ding Xiaoxiang. He felt a little strange, because she would have been here at this time usually.

Zhao Shi said that Ding Xiaoxiang had gone back to talk to Ding Chongshan about collecting the fish.

"Row!"

"We must hurry up on this matter!"

"The matter with Yang Zhenhua has been settled. We are just waiting for Ding Xiaoxiang to have time tonight to get this done in advance!"

As Shi Guangming spoke, he went to the location of the shops on the pier.

"Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Chongshan have discussed the fish collection, so they will definitely come back here. Then we can settle the store issue!"

Zhao Shi didn't expect this to happen so quickly. He originally thought that Yang Zhenhua would ask for a sky-high price from him, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Doesn't Ding Dawen have to get his fishing boat back tonight?"

"I'll stay here with you and Ding Xiaoxiang while you take care of the store!"

"Both of the people who acted as middlemen on the previous trip must be present."

"This matter has been completed. According to the custom in our village, the money owed to the middleman must be paid."

Zhao Shi arranged things immediately.

Ding Dawen's fishing boat will return to the fish farm tonight at some unknown time. Ding Ailian and Ma Baozhu are not very experienced after all, so it is impossible for them to just be in charge of this matter for the first time.

The matter of the store has been discussed. To avoid any further complications, we should hurry up and get it done. It would be better for Shi Guangming and Ding Xiaoxiang to handle this matter. With an intermediary to guarantee it, there won't be any trouble.

"Row!"

"Ok, deal!"

Shi Guangming nodded. This matter must be done by himself and Ding Xiaoxiang, and with the help of a middleman as a guarantor, this matter can be handled very properly.

"Hey!"

"We've finally settled the matter of the store. I thought there was no chance!"

"This place is really great. It would be great if we could take it down!"

Zhao Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought this shop was great from the first moment he saw it and had wanted to buy it very much. However, there had been no information or movement for such a long time and he really thought there was no hope. Unexpectedly, Yang Zhenhua came to him suddenly.

"what!"

"Who said it wasn't true? I thought there was basically no chance, but I didn't expect Yang Zhenhua to come to me anyway!"

"This shop is really rare. There are only a few shops that have been sold at Shijiao Village Wharf over the years, and even fewer shops as big as this one."

Shi Guangming has lived in Shijiao Village all his life and is very familiar with the situation here. The shop owned by Yang Zhenhua is really rare.

"If Ding Chongshan, who took over this shop, buys fish, shrimps and crabs here, will there be a place for him immediately?"

"what!"

“This is really good!”

When Shi Guangming thought about this, he couldn't help laughing, and the matter suddenly went smoothly.

"Correct!"

"Sometimes it's like this. You can't be impatient. You have to wait and calm down. You can handle this matter in the end!"

Zhao Shi smiled and nodded. Most people, even if they are rich, would not buy a store in a place like this because they might not be able to keep it, or they might run into some troubles, and they might not be able to make much money.

Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang do not have this problem. One has close cooperation with Shi Guangming and Shi Zhongwei as a family, and the other has a relationship with Ding Ailian. Shijiao Village is not Zhao Dahai's village, but in fact, there is no difference between it and Zhao Dahai's village.

Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming took stools and sat on the platform of the fish farm, smoking and chatting, feeling the sea breeze, feeling very comfortable.
