Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

Boss Huang chuckled and patted Boss Wang on the shoulder.

"Want to know?"

He then nodded at Wu Sui.

Wu Sui unfolded the note with a hint of helplessness.

Boss Wang craned his neck to get a look, and Boss Zhang and Boss Li couldn't help but join in as well.

588888? !

When Boss Wang saw those numbers, his face turned bright red, and he slapped his thigh and howled in exasperation.

"Damn! We're only 20,000 short."

He unfolded his note, on which was written: 568888.

Boss Huang laughed triumphantly, his belly fat jiggling.

"Old Wang, I told you you were reluctant to part with your investment. Today, this wild yellow croaker should rightfully belong to me, Old Huang!"

Boss Wang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and pointed at Boss Huang for a long time without saying a word.

This sealed bidding game is all about the thrill.

Just 20,000 yuan short, and a top-quality yellow croaker was lost. Anyone would be upset in that situation.

Both Boss Zhang and Boss Li had written down prices starting at just over 500,000, but seeing this price now, they could only shake their heads helplessly.

Seeing that Boss Wang was about to lose his temper, Lin Tao quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Gentlemen, don't rush off yet. Today we not only have large yellow croakers, but also something else good."

With that, he turned and ran toward the cold storage in the backyard.

A short while later, he carried out a styrofoam box and placed it in front of the group.

Upon opening the lid, a faint smell of the sea wafted out.

The box was lined with ice, and on top of it were several clean, frighteningly large fish gills.

Mr. Zhang was initially disappointed because he hadn't been able to buy any large yellow croakers, but now that his eyes were on the box, he took a step forward.

"This...this is a puffed fish gill?"

Lin Tao gave a thumbs up.

"Boss Zhang has a good eye. Yesterday, Ah Sui and the others went out to sea and encountered a manta ray weighing 1300 to 1400 pounds."

"These gills were taken from there; they're completely wild and undamaged."

Boss Zhang reached out and touched the texture of the fish gills, nodding excitedly repeatedly.

He just said he wanted to buy nice things as gifts.

These top-quality pufferfish gills are not only a precious medicinal material, but also a nourishing delicacy; such large ones are rarely seen on the market.

"Great stuff, really great stuff."

Boss Zhang straightened up, turned to look at the other three people, and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"My fellow gentlemen, I, Lao Zhang, owe you all a favor for what happened today."

"As you all know, my project is at a critical stage now, and I've been looking for some nice gifts to give as presents."

"Please, everyone, be kind enough to give me this fish with its swollen gills today."

Mr. Huang had just bought the large yellow croaker and was in a great mood, so he waved his hand.

"Fine, I won't fight you for it."

Boss Li nodded in agreement: "Forget it, I'm not interested in this thing."

Although Boss Wang was still angry, he wouldn't hold someone back on such a matter, so he snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Seeing that everyone was giving him face, Boss Zhang quickly turned to look at Wu Sui.

"Young man, the price of medicinal herbs is different from that of seafood; there's a general market price for them."

"Although such a large pufferfish with gills is rare, its price is definitely not as high as that of a large yellow croaker."

After a brief pause, Boss Zhang quoted a price.

"I'll offer 188888, for good luck, and I won't let you lose out. Is that alright?"

Wu Sui himself was also unaware of the price.

Lin Tao had previously estimated that the fish's gills could sell for over 100,000 yuan.

Now, Boss Zhang has reported nearly 190,000 people, which is truly a sincere effort.

"Alright, Boss Zhang is a straightforward man, this thing is yours." Wu Sui nodded decisively.

Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

The gills of both the large yellow croaker and the puffed fish have been taken.

Now only Boss Wang and Boss Li are left empty-handed.

Mr. Li was alright; although he was a little disappointed that he didn't buy anything, he wasn't angry.

Boss Wang was seething with anger.

I came here early in the morning, but I didn't get anything and was even ridiculed by Boss Huang.

His face darkened, and he turned to leave.

Lin Tao quickly caught up with him, carrying several plastic bags.

"Boss Wang, this matter was indeed handled in a hurry today, and I'm sorry to have made you come all this way for nothing."

He stuffed the plastic bag into Boss Wang's hand.

"These baby lobsters, as well as some sea cucumbers and abalone, are all wild. Please take them home and have a taste."

Boss Wang glanced down at the contents of the bag; they were indeed quite large.

Lin Tao seized the opportunity and moved closer, lowering his voice.

"Boss Wang, as you can see, this young man, Ah Sui, is quite capable. He'll definitely have plenty of good stuff in the future."

"Don't worry, I will definitely notify you as soon as I have any top-quality items of this level in the future."

"All those rare wild seafood items are reserved for your restaurant."

These words were spoken flawlessly, offering a way out while promising future benefits.

Boss Wang's expression finally softened.

He turned to look at Wu Sui and nodded.

"Alright, Boss Lin, I'll remember that. Don't forget me next time you have good stuff."

Lin Tao prepared the same seafood for everyone, and the bosses didn't refuse it when they received it.

After Boss Huang and Boss Zhang each arranged for someone to transfer the money, they left.

The once bustling lobby of the purchasing station had fallen silent.

"It's over 77 in total. It's not easy for you to handle so much cash. I'll go to the bank and transfer it to you. You can watch the shop for me for now."

Wu Sui nodded and sat down in the chair to drink tea in a carefree manner.

It's just a bit strange. It's understandable that the waiter isn't here today, but why isn't Lin Jing here either?

However, the purchasing station is usually busiest in the morning and evening, and it's normal for it to be empty at other times, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He picked up a calculator and began calculating how much commission he should give Lin Tao.

Five percent of 770,000 is roughly 40,000 yuan.

But not long after, he received a text message on his phone notifying him that 75 yuan had been deposited into his account.

When Lin Tao returned, Wu Sui asked him if he had made a mistake in his calculations.

Lin Tao smiled and waved his hand.

"This deal would never have sold for this price without your pre-bid suggestion."

"If it weren't for your idea, I would have really offended someone today."

"Everyone is satisfied now, and the reputation of the purchasing station has spread. I'll have plenty of time to make money in the future."

"Keep the money safe. I'll just be making some calls and contacting people. I won't lose anything."

Wu Sui knew that Lin Tao was taking care of her. If he were more ruthless, he would have bought the items from her at a low price and resold them, making even more money.

Although the two had not known each other for long, Lin Tao's personality was very compatible with his.

Seeing Lin Tao's sincere face, Wu Sui stopped refusing.

"Brother Tao, now that the money has been distributed, let's talk about serious matters."

Lin Tao was taken aback: "Serious business? We've sold out, what serious business could there be?"

Wu Sui pulled over a chair, gesturing for Lin Tao to sit down.

"You haven't forgotten about the purchasing station, have you?"

"It's such a waste to leave that courtyard empty. What's your thought about what I told you before?"

"If you don't work for me, don't blame me for stealing your business later..."
