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

Chapter 1101: Keep Your Tail Between Your Legs
"Ok!"

"Dad, you still have to handle this matter."

"I'm a little worried that my eldest brother Ding Jie and my second brother Ding Weijun might not be able to control themselves. If they set a trap for others, it would be a big trouble!"

"No one knows whether the fish sellers are real fishermen or other buyers who are looking for trouble to arouse public anger."

"You must be careful!"

"Just wait for a while, maybe even a year or two, and then slowly start collecting the fish."

"Our family has finally got an opportunity like this, and we absolutely cannot mess it up."

Ding Xiaoxiang didn't think Ding Chongshan was making a fuss at all. On the contrary, he really had to do this.

The wharf of Shijiao Village is not the wharf of our village. If you want to do business, just do business. If you do business in another place, you must be careful.

The most important thing is to never arouse the hatred of the colleagues who are already doing business here at the beginning.

Relying on his relationship with Zhao Dahai, his family bought the fish from the sea fishing boats at the Shijiao Village Pier. No one could say anything about any problems, but if he intervened in the fish of other fishing boats at the pier in a big way from the beginning, that would be another matter.

It's not that this thing cannot be done, and this is what my family wants to do in the future, but it absolutely cannot be done at the beginning.

You have to seize the opportunity and find the right time before you can start purchasing fish from other fishing boats.

"Correct!"

"The eldest and second female brothers have relatively little experience in doing business. Another more important thing is that they are all thinking about expanding the family business and wanting to make more money. It is very likely that they were really being schemed against by others."

Ding Chongshan knew very well what Ding Jie and Ding Weijun were thinking. Doing business is not an easy thing. Many things must be figured out. The most important thing is to be careful about the calculations of other peers.

Ding Xiaoxiang is younger than Ding Jie and Ding Weijun, by a lot, but she has been doing business with herself and Zhang Li since she was a child, so she is even better at it. Ding Jie and Ding Weijun are older, but they are far inferior to Ding Xiaoxiang in this aspect.

This opportunity is really rare.

The wharf in my village is the wharf where I do business now. The territory or the shares for purchasing fish, shrimps and crabs have been determined long ago. Without special circumstances, there will be no possibility of any change. Everyone can only purchase a part of it.

If you want to expand the scale of your business and make more money, you can only go to other places to purchase fish, shrimps and crabs, but there are already enough buyers purchasing fish, shrimps and crabs from other places.

The same situation is happening here at Shijiao Village Wharf. Now that I have taken this opportunity to get involved, I must not be careless and must wait for a long enough period of time before I can slowly start purchasing the fish, shrimps and crabs at Shijiao Village Wharf.

Ding Xiaoxiang and Ding Chongshan discussed the matter and left immediately, rushing back to the Shijiao Village Pier.

"dad!"

"Why did Xiaoxiang come today? And why did she leave?"

"When I ran into him just now, I called him, but he just said hello and said he had something to do and left immediately!"

Ding Jie walked in sweating profusely, followed by Ding Weijun who was also sweating profusely.

Ding Chongshan talked about Ding Xiaoxiang's visit to him just now, and also said that Ding Dawen's fishing boat would be back to the dock tonight. Ding Xiaoxiang had a lot of things to do, and after finishing this serious matter, she left and rushed back to Shijiao Village Dock.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun looked at each other in surprise and joy. They didn't expect that Ding Xiaoxiang was talking about this.

"dad!"

"Hasn't this matter been settled yet? This is a very important matter for a business like ours!"

Ding Jie immediately asked, this matter is really very important, as long as his family purchases the fish from the sea fishing boat that Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua cooperated with, the next step would be to purchase the fish from other fishing boats at Shijiao Village Pier, and the scale of the business would expand a lot at once.

"Is there any need to talk about this? If we couldn't come to an agreement, why would Xiaoxiang come to talk to us about this?"

"Besides, even if we don't make any money, we have to take on this."

Ding Chongshan poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of Ding Jie and Ding Weijun. When Xiaoxiang talked to him just now, she did not mention the purchase price. There was no need to mention this matter at all. The price he offered was definitely higher than that of other buyers. He was not joking. Even if he had to lose money, he had to take on this matter.

Why?

All for the opportunity to do business at the Shijiao Village Pier.

"Great! Great!"

"It won't take long before we can buy the fish from other fishing boats at Shijiao Village Pier!"

"dad!"

"We have to hurry up and find a store at the Shijiao Village Pier. Otherwise, how can we do business?"

Ding Jie waved his fist vigorously in excitement.

"Oh?"

"Do you two think this way?"

Ding Chongshan frowned, looked at Ding Jie, and then at Ding Weijun.

"what?"

"Is it possible to say it's not like this?"

"We definitely need to find a shop. Otherwise, how can we buy the fish, shrimps and crabs caught by other fishing boats at the Shijiao Village Pier? We can't just work directly at the pier, right?"

"It's fine if it's exposed to the wind and sun, but this town can't do any work. There's no place like this for us to do this kind of thing!"

Ding Weijun felt a little strange and didn't know why Ding Chongshan said such a thing.

Ding Chongshan sighed softly and shook his head. To be honest, he already knew in his heart that Ding Jie and Ding Weijun's views on this matter were not as good as Ding Xiaoxiang's. They must be thinking of finishing work early and buying fish, shrimps and crabs at the Shijiao Village wharf. But now when he really heard that Ding Jie and Ding Weijun had such thoughts, he couldn't help but feel very disappointed.

"Humph!"

"Is this matter as simple as you think?"

"It looks like you still have a long way to go before you can stand on your own!"

Ding Chongshan felt a little disappointed with his friends and glared at Ding Jie and Ding Weijun fiercely.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun couldn't help scratching the hair on the back of their heads, wondering why Ding Chongshan said such a thing.

"dad!"

"This is a rare opportunity to expand our business. Are we only buying the fish from Zhao Dahai and Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boats at Shijiao Village Wharf? Are we not buying the fish caught by other fishing boats?"

Ding Jie really couldn't understand this matter. He could see that Ding Chongshan definitely wanted, or was definitely planning to purchase fish from other fishing boats at the Shijiao Village Pier. But now Ding Chongshan was saying that his and Ding Weijun's ideas were wrong. Isn't this contradictory?
"Humph!"

"Who said we don't buy fish from other fishing boats at Shijiao Village Pier?"

"If you don't do such a good business and don't seize such an opportunity to make money, wouldn't that mean you have a problem with your brain?" Ding Chongshan shook his head.

"dad!"

"What do you mean by that? I don't understand. One moment you say you want to buy the fish, shrimp and crabs from the Shijiao Village wharf, and the next moment you say you don't want to buy them. What's going on?"

Ding Weijun was equally confused and really couldn't figure out what was going on.

While drinking the freshly brewed hot tea, Ding Chongshan carefully recounted the entire discussion he had had with Ding Xiaoxiang not long ago.

“Who said we won’t buy the fish caught or hooked by other fishing boats at Shijiao Village Pier?”

"But when to make the acquisition? This is something that needs to be carefully considered!"

"First, we must find out the situation at the Shijiao Village Pier, including how many fishing boats go out to sea and how many fish they bring back, as well as other purchase situations."

"Another very important thing is to make the people at Shijiao Village Pier accustomed to us doing business there."

"This is not a matter of one or two months, nor is it a matter of three or five months."

"It will take at least a year or so."

Ding Chongshan looked at Ding Jie and Ding Weijun who were sitting opposite him. The family business would have to be handed over to these two brothers sooner or later. Things like this had to be explained clearly and in detail so that he could gain experience and broaden his horizons.

"What you two brothers have learned while working in companies outside these years is not useless, but there are many things you don't understand or notice when doing business at home or at the dock."

"No matter what you do, you have to think it through carefully. You can't just do whatever you want."

"We are business people. If we make more money, we are stealing other people's business, which is equivalent to stealing other people's money."

"If it were you, would you let it go?"

"No matter where you do business, as long as new people come, they will definitely steal your business."

"The people who used to do business in this place will definitely unite to deal with this newcomer."

"As soon as we show up at the Shijiao Village dock, other buyers will know what we want to do."

"You guys are thinking about buying up the fish, shrimps and crabs there right away. Isn't that just asking for death?"

"You have to keep your tail between your legs at the beginning!"

Ding Chongshan reminded Ding Jie and Ding Weijun that they must pay attention that this matter is not a joke.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun were covered in cold sweat, and then they understood what was going on.

"The business here at the dock is left to you two brothers!"

"I will handle the matter at the Shijiao Village dock myself."

"Sometimes one of you two brothers can go with me there for a few laps."

"Just make yourself familiar to me!"

Ding Chongshan made the arrangements in just a few words.

The affairs of Shijiao Village Wharf must never be handed over to Ding Jie and Ding Weijun. These two brothers are responsible for it and must go there in person.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun had no objection. When they first heard about this matter, they thought it was no big deal. But now after listening to the reasoning behind it, they realized that they might not be able to deal with it.

"The family business is now very big. It is no longer what it was at the beginning. We have to rush forward regardless of the consequences, or even if we know that we are stealing other people's business and cutting off their financial resources. We have to be patient when doing things."

Ding Zhongshan spoke earnestly. Ding Jie and Ding Weijun must learn these things. They can't always focus on the family business all their lives. In another ten or eight years, they will be getting older and older and will not be able to do anything.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun nodded heavily very seriously. There was nothing to say about such things. With such abilities, they had to nod in acknowledgement.

Ding Chongshan told Ding Jie and Ding Weijun that Ding Dawen's fishing boat would return to the fish farm at Shijiao Village Pier to unload fish tonight. There was nothing else to do at home, so he would go over early after dinner to see if there was anything he could help with.

Ding Jie and Ding Weijun nodded and agreed.

Shijiao Village.

Shi Guangming walked to Du Wen's door and saw a familiar person walking out.

"Yo!"

"Boss Zheng."

"How come I see you here?"

Shi Guangming greeted Zheng Tie and immediately thought of something.

Zheng Tie wanted to take over the fish farm at the Shijiao Village Pier, but was intercepted by Zhao Hai, Ding Xiaoxiang and his people.

Something must have happened now that he has come to Du Wen, and it is very likely related to fish fillets.

"what!"

"Isn't it that I haven't met Boss Du Wendu for a while? I happened to have some things to do at the dock today. Now that I'm done with the things, I still have time to come and visit."

Zheng Tie's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect to run into Shi Guangming here. But since they had already met, he definitely had to say hello, so he forced a smile on his face.

Zheng Tie said a few words, made up an excuse that he had other things to do, turned around and left in a hurry.

Shi Guangming watched Zheng Tie walk away for a while. Now he was 100% sure that Zheng Tie came here to find Du Wen, and it was really possible that it was about the fish raft.

Could it be that Zheng Tie was planning to take over the empty sea surface nearby and build a fish farm nearby?
The more Shi Guangming thought about it, the more he felt that this was most likely the case.

"Humph!"

"What are you thinking about?"

"It would be fine if the village didn't rent out that piece of sea, but if it does, when will it be your turn, Zheng Tie, to take possession of it?"

Shi Guangming sneered, yelled at Du Wen loudly, then pushed open the door and walked straight into the yard.

"Yo!"

"I say, what's going on with you? Why did you come here?"

Du Wen heard Shi Guangming's shout, walked out of the room, looked up at the sun in the sky, and felt it was a bit strange. Shi Guangming shouldn't come here at this time. Even if he wanted to come to his house for a meal, he had to wait until the sun went down.
