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

Lin Tao's hand, which was holding the teacup, froze in mid-air. He remained stunned for several seconds before putting the teacup down.

"Ah Sui, stop joking with me."

He casually took out a cigarette, pulled one out, and handed it to Wu Sui.

"Your yard is so big, you must have invested a lot of money."

"Don't be fooled by how bustling my purchasing station is; honestly, I can't come up with that much money."

Lin Tao lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

How could he not want to expand his purchasing station?

But the Maritime Safety Administration compound is in a good location, right next to the dock, and it has cold storage and a dock, making it convenient to receive and sell goods.

Even without him, Wu Sui could have built the purchasing station on his own.

He knew that Wu Sui didn't want to compete with him, so she was trying to help him out.

But can he take advantage of this situation with a clear conscience?

Looking at Lin Tao's conflicted expression, Wu Sui could roughly guess what he was thinking.

Lin Tao is actually not suited for business.

Not for any other reason than that they're not ruthless enough.

Anyone else would have agreed immediately upon hearing about such a good deal of free money.

Lin Tao saw that Wu Sui was not speaking and assumed that he was angry.

"Ah Sui, it's not that I'm ungrateful."

"You're riding high right now, with top-quality seafood in your hands, you have no shortage of buyers."

"These big bosses today, if you want, you can contact any of them, and they can send a truck to pick up the goods directly."

"I'm just trying to take advantage of you, and I might even end up holding you back."

"If you want to set up a purchasing station, I can help you. Don't worry about ruining the relationship. There are several purchasing stations in town, they won't miss yours."

Wu Sui took a deep drag of his cigarette, shook his head, and explained helplessly.

"Brother Tao, you've got it all wrong."

"What's a cold storage facility? You can get one for a little money."

"But what you have in your hand is alive."

Lin Tao was even more confused and pointed to his nose.

"What do I have in my hands? What do I have in my hands?"

Wu Sui tapped on the table.

"channel."

"Channels?" Lin Tao muttered the two words, his face full of doubt.

Wu Sui nodded and began to disassemble it for him.

"If I were in their shoes, would I be able to get these four big bosses to come to this small town?"

"cannot!"

"Because I don't know them, and they don't know me."

"Even if I took an 18-pound yellow croaker to the city to find them, they probably wouldn't even let me in the door and would kick me out as a swindler."

"But you're different. You've worked in town for so many years, how many connections have you built?"

"You know perfectly well which restaurants need what kind of goods and which owners are willing to pay high prices."

"This is your channel."

Wu Sui looked at Lin Tao with a serious expression.

"Let me give you another example. Supermarkets in big cities are filled with a wide variety of products. Do you think the supermarkets will pay the manufacturers who put their products in there to sell?"

Wu Sui smiled.

"Not only do manufacturers not get paid, they also have to pay an entry fee to the supermarket."

"Whether your stuff sells or not, you have to pay this money."

Lin Tao's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why should we pay the supermarket to sell our products?"

"They have the venue and the customer base, which means they have the distribution channels!" Wu Sui continued to explain.

"They opened their shop in the most bustling area, and thousands of people go in to buy things every day."

"If you put your products there, they will be seen and sold. That's the value of a distribution channel."

"So, you don't need to feel like you've gotten a good deal. In fact, I'm the one who's taken advantage of you."

Lin Tao was completely confused.

Where is this going?

Seeing his expression, Wu Sui was too lazy to waste any more words explaining those advanced concepts.

"In short, having customers and connections is your biggest asset when joining this business."

"I'll provide the venue and guarantee the supply of seafood; you provide the distribution channels, contact buyers, and sell the goods at a high price."

"Let's team up and buy all the seafood from the small vendors in town. From now on, we'll take over the seafood business in this area, and we'll definitely earn more than you are now."

Wu Sui stubbed out his cigarette, straightened his posture, and looked serious.

"Brother Tao, just one word: are you in or not?"

Lin Tao's chest heaved violently. Wu Sui had already said so much; if he were to refuse again, it would be rather pretentious.

"Dry!"

"From now on, I'll take care of everything, big or small, at the purchasing station. You won't have to worry about a thing."

Wu Sui smiled and picked up his teacup.

"That's more like it. Don't be so fussy, you big man."

Lin Tao raised his hand and tapped him, then shook his head with a smile.

"You little brat..."

He handed Wu Sui another cigarette and lit one for himself.

"However, the profit sharing can't be done the way you suggested."

"I'm just sending one person to run errands and make contacts; how could I possibly take half?"

"Ah Sui, if you really consider me a brother, then listen to me. I'll take 40%, and you take 60%."

Lin Tao's attitude was firm: "If you don't agree, I'm not doing this deal."

Wu Sui looked at Lin Tao's flushed face and was too lazy to argue with him.

"Okay, 46 it is."

As he spoke, he took out the key to the compound and threw it on the table.

Wu Sui stood up and patted Lin Tao on the shoulder.

"Then it's up to you. You decide how to clean and decorate. I'll just wait to get my share of the profits."

Lin Tao smiled as he took the keys, full of enthusiasm.

He had already started planning how to clean up the yard.

Wu Sui greeted them and got up to leave.

Lin Tao didn't have time to greet him at the moment, as he was busy contacting workers to prepare for construction.

Wu Sui walked out of the purchasing station, took a deep breath, and felt great.

He received 750,000 yuan today, accounting for 80% of it. Combined with his previous deposits, he now has over 800,000 yuan in hand.

The remaining payment for the large ship is more than enough; it's even enough to order a new ship.

I've been on edge these past few days, but now I can finally relax a little.

Now that I have more money, I should definitely treat myself better.

This old bicycle, let whoever wants to ride it ride it, he doesn't want it anymore anyway.

I looked up and glanced at a motorcycle shop not far away.

Wu Sui touched his chin and walked over.

Although I can't afford a car now, buying a motorcycle is still no problem.

Moreover, these days there are hardly any traffic police checking. As long as you don't go to the city, you don't even need to register your vehicle, and nobody cares.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the motorcycle was a good deal.

Upon entering the store, the scene of Wu Sui's imagined pretentious act ending in humiliation did not occur.

This made him feel a little sad.

Having made such a large sum of money, I didn't even have a chance to show off.

I didn't spend much effort and 5800 yuan to buy a Suzuki 125.

Thinking that taking a shower at home is too inconvenient, I bought a water heater next door.

The men in the family are fine; a quick rinse with cold water in the sweltering summer heat is enough. But it's different for the women and children; this money has to be spent.

After agreeing on a delivery and installation time with the shop owner, Wu Sui left his bicycle behind and rode his motorcycle back to the village.
