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

Chapter 1547 Making money is truly the only hard truth.
Yang Xiaoshan thought for a moment and nodded. In fact, his family had been doing business with Sun Tie and Ma Ping for many years and had a very good relationship. However, when it came to making money, especially making a lot of money, there was really nothing else to think about. It was definitely his family who needed to make more money.

“Sun Tie and Ma Ping make a lot of money every year from buying and selling fish, shrimp and crabs. Do they ever share even a tiny bit with us?”

"When they want to drive down our prices, they just do it without ever negotiating with us. Now that someone is competing with them, they expect us to sell to them at the same old prices?"

"Are they out of their minds? Or do they think they're our fathers and we have to listen to them?"

Yang Dashan gave a cold laugh.

Sun Tie and Ma Ping's business dealings were nothing special, neither particularly good nor bad.

If there are no other competitors or no one else offering a higher price, then we can only do business with Sun Tian and Ma Ping. However, if someone else offers a higher price, for example, the price that Ding Chongshan is offering right now is much higher than that of Sun Tie and Ma Ping.

There was no reason why he wouldn't sell these crabs to Ding Chongshan, but to Sun Tie and Ma Ping instead.

Why should Sun Tiehe make more money buying a bottle while I make less?

"dad!"

“Sun Tie and Ma Ping must be very angry now, and they might even be angry with us, thinking that we shouldn’t have sold these fish, shrimp and crabs to Ding Chongshan.”

"If Ding Chongshan can outcompete Sun Tie and Ma Ping, there's nothing to say. It won't affect us at all. But if Sun Tie and Ma Ping can't outcompete Ding Chongshan, he can just leave the dock and walk away. We, the people who go out to sea to catch fish, shrimp, and crabs right here at the dock, will still have to do business with Sun Tie and Ma Ping. They'll definitely give us a hard time."

"When they buy our fish, shrimp, and crabs, they may be deliberately trying to lower the price."

Yang Xiaoshan was very worried about this matter.

If Ding Chongshan couldn't compete with Sun Tie and Ma Ping, he would just leave without a care in the world. However, his family's fishing boats were always going out to sea to fish from the Shuijiao Village pier, and the fish, shrimp, and crabs they caught would definitely have to be sold.

If this incident angers Sun Tie and Ma Ping, these families will be in trouble once Ding Chongshan leaves the dock.

"Pooh!"

"Sun Tie and Ma Ping?"

"Where did they get such skills? Do they really think we fishermen are blind? Or do they think we're easy to manipulate?"

“If the price offered is good, everyone can make money and everyone will be very happy. But if the price offered is low, why should we sell our fish, shrimp and crabs to Sun Tie and Ma Ping?”

“Sun Tie and Ma Ping do have a large business at the Shijiao Village wharf, but we sea fishermen aren’t stupid.”

"If they insist on driving down the price, and do so very aggressively, then it won't just be a matter for our fishing boat."

"It's about all the people at the dock who go out to sea to fish."

“Sun Tie and Ma Ping must be very angry, but even if they are very angry, they don’t dare to do anything excessive.”

"This is the dock. It's not just his place that collects fish, shrimp, and crabs; there are other people here too."

“These people are not a monolithic group.”

Even if Ding Chongshan can't compete with Sun Tie and Ma Ping for the dock they left, it will have a tiny impact on our family, but it really will only be a tiny impact.

Yang Dashan was not worried about this at all.

When Yang Xiaoshan heard Yang Dashan say this, he thought about it carefully and found that it was really true. Although he was just a fisherman at sea.

Sun Tie and Ma Ping are indeed richer than my family, but if they want to deal with my family, they really need to think twice.

"Row!"

"Then we don't need to pay attention to Sun Tie and Ma Ping. We'll sell to whoever offers the higher price."

Yang Xiaoshan nodded and stopped thinking about it. He figured that if his family caught these fish, shrimp, and crabs, they would only sell them to people who offered higher prices.

There's really not much to say about this.

“Sun Tie and Ma Ping have really met their match this time. I think they are in a real mess right now, and it’s unlikely they’ll be able to get away unscathed.”

Yang Dashan was beaming with pride.

"what?"

"dad?"

"Do you mean that Ding Chongshan will ultimately win this competition?"

Yang Xiaoshan was very surprised.

“Sun Tie and Ma Ping are not people who back down easily. Over the past ten years, they have faced countless competitors, but they have always emerged victorious. Can Ding Chongshan really handle Sun Tie and Ma Ping this time?”

Yang Xiaoshan was a little skeptical.

Sun Tie and Ma Ping's businesses have grown to such a large scale; they are truly extraordinary individuals. Over the past decade or so, countless people have tried to seize their business, but ultimately, none have succeeded.

Yang Xiaoshan really didn't think he could handle this one.

"dad!"

"I've heard of Ding Chongshan. He buys fish, shrimp and crabs in other places and does a very good business. He's been doing business for many years."

“There are plenty of fish, shrimp and crabs at our docks. Ding Chongshan couldn’t possibly not know that. He must have known it a long time ago. If he really has that kind of ability, why didn’t he come here to steal our business sooner?”

Yang Xiaoshan really didn't think highly of Ding Chongshan.

"Why not come here to steal business from here? The reason is very simple: Ding Chongshan knew very well that even if he came here, he couldn't steal business from here."

"The reason we're here at this time is because we can steal business from Sun Tie and Ma Ping."

Yang Dashan glared at Yang Xiaosan. This matter was actually complicated, but in fact it wasn't. If you thought about it carefully, there was no reason why you couldn't understand it.

Yang Xiaoshan and he were both fishermen, not business people, but they absolutely needed to understand the relationships and affairs among these fish, shrimp, and crab traders. They couldn't afford to be careless, otherwise it would definitely affect their income when selling fish, shrimp, and crabs.

"Why? Why is Ding Chongshan able to win this competition and snatch business from Sun Tie and Ma Ping at this time?"

Yang Xiaoshan shook his head.

This sounds very simple, but in reality, it's not an easy thing to do.

"why?"

"Is there any need to say anything about this? It's definitely because Ding Chongshan now has Zhao Dahai's support."

"Without Zhao Dahai's support, Ding Chongshan would just be a businessman dealing in fish, shrimp and crabs, trying to come here to the Shijiao Village Wharf to steal the business from Sun Tie and Ma Ping."

"That's absolutely impossible."

"Although Ding Chongshan's business is very successful, it is far inferior to Sun Tie and Ma Ping. This is not about business methods. More importantly, it is about the capital he has."

“Sun Tie and Ma Ping have been working in Shiqiao Village for many years, which is something Ding Zhongshan cannot compare to.”

Yang Dashan was very clear that Ding Chongshan was no match for Shuntian Ma Ping in this area. It wasn't that they weren't very good at business, but rather that Sun Tie and Ma Ping had been doing business here for a very long time. Back then, there were fewer competitors and less competition, and they had a good location. Over the years, they had accumulated a lot of money.

Ding Chongshan started doing business relatively late, and in this respect, he really can't compare with Sun Tie and Ma Ping.

Doing business is actually the same as going out to sea to fish. Some people go out to sea to fish earlier and can catch more fish, shrimp and crabs, and earn more money. With more money, they can buy a bigger fishing boat, and in turn, they can go to farther places and earn even more money.

The same principle applies to the business of buying and selling fish, shrimp, and crabs. If we're talking about business acumen, Sun Tie and Ma Ping might not be any better than Ding Chongshan. However, when Sun Tie and Ma Ping were buying and selling fish, shrimp, and crabs at the Shijiao Village wharf, Ding Chongshan hadn't even started his business yet.

By the time Ding Chongshan started doing business, Sun Tie and Ma Ping had already made a lot of money and become top bosses in the industry.

Ding Chongshan had no way to compete with Sun Tiemaping for business at the Shijiao Village Wharf, so he had to go elsewhere.

Doesn't Ding Chongshan want to come to Shijiao Village Wharf?

They definitely wanted to come, especially those who had already achieved a certain level of success in doing business elsewhere and wanted to expand their operations. They had their eyes set on Shijiao Village, but in the past, they really had no opportunity or means and could only endure and hold back.

Ding Chongshan's arrival at Shiqiao Village Wharf at this time isn't out of foolishness; he knows he's bound to win. He only dared to do this because he has Zhao Dahai's support. Otherwise, Ding Chongshan would never have come to Shijiao Village Wharf to make a fool of himself.

"Is Zhao Dahai really that good? I mean, he's incredibly skilled at fishing at sea, that's undeniable, but when it comes to business, how could he possibly compare to Sun Tie and Ma Ping?"

"If Zhao Dahai is really that capable, why doesn't he need to go out to sea to fish? Why doesn't he just start his own business?"

Yang Xiaoshan shook his head. He knew that Zhao Dahai was indeed very capable, catching a lot of fish every time he went out to sea. This news had spread all over the dock, and it was impossible for him not to know. However, he felt that when it came to doing business, Zhao Dahai was no match for Sun Tianma Ping.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Do you know how much money Zhao Dahai made fishing?

“Sun Tie and Ma Ping can earn millions of yuan a year at the dock, but this amount of money is nothing to Zhao Dahai.”

"I don't know how many people have said that Zhao Dahai fished in that foamy area of ​​the island reef."

“Each time, we can catch several thousand kilograms, or even more than ten thousand kilograms of sea bass, and most of these sea bass are ten, twenty or even thirty kilograms in size.”

"Would someone who can catch so many fish even be interested in the business Sun Tie and Ma Ping run at the dock?"

Yang Dashan glared fiercely at Yang Xiaosan.

You can say that Ding Chongshan isn't good, you can say that Sun Tie and Ma Ping aren't good, but you absolutely cannot say that Zhao Dahai isn't good.

Everyone now knows how formidable Zhao Dahai is, and no one dares to refute it.

"See that wire mesh cage? Do you have the ability to build a wire mesh cage like that in this place?"

"Do you know how many fish, especially valuable fish, are in those net cages at the head office?"

Yang Dashan pointed forcefully to the fish rafts not too far from the dock. These rafts had only appeared recently, and they were filled with valuable fish that Zhao Dahai had caught at sea, especially large groupers that were said to weigh tens or even more than a hundred kilograms.

"Is it really possible for Zhao Dahai to catch fish weighing several thousand kilograms every time? How could such a thing possibly happen?"

Liang Xiaozhong was stunned for a moment. This wasn't the first time he had heard about this. He had been hearing about it for a while now, but he generally felt that it was unlikely to be true. No one could do that.

"How could something like this be fake?"

"Most of the fish that Zhao Dahai caught were sold to Hongyun Restaurant in town, or other places. Most people don't know exactly how many fish Zhao Dahai caught."

"But this kind of thing can't be hidden at all. Those who also fish for sea bass in the island's foamy area have seen it all. Although the exact number is unknown, the large number can still be estimated."

Yang Dashan knew Yang Xiaoshan and was somewhat skeptical of the matter; to be honest, even he himself found it hard to believe.

My boat is a proper, large trawler. It's not easy to catch several thousand kilograms of fish in a day. Sometimes it only catches a hundred or so kilograms.

But this kind of thing can't be faked. Zhao Dahai wasn't hiding in some back alley fishing, and nobody knew about it.

Recently, he's been fishing for sea bass in the island and reef foam area. He's seen many other fishermen, all very experienced. A quick calculation will tell you how many fish Zhao Dahai can catch in a day.

"What's scary about Zhao Dahai is that he can catch so many fish in one day, and he can catch so many fish every day on many occasions."

"The foam area is a very famous fishing spot for sea bass, and many people go there to fish."

"It is said that even when other people around him are not catching many fish, Zhao Dahai is still able to catch a lot of sea bass."

"This person's abilities are truly extraordinary."

Liang Dashan was completely convinced.

Whether it's fishing or catching fish at sea, there's not much to say. Just look at who caught how many fish and who made how much money, and you'll know what's going on.
