Liang Fei saw that there was only one middle-aged man in the store, about forty years old. He was wearing water shoes, a plastic apron hanging around his neck, a full beard, and looked like a professional fishmonger. He must be Wu Erbao.
"Boss, are you Mr. Wu Erbao?"
"Yes, what do you want to buy?" Looking at the young man in front of him, Wu Erbao couldn't help but feel puzzled. After all, few customers would directly ask for his name when he came to buy goods.
After confirming that the middle-aged man in front of him was Wu Erbao, Liang Fei said without hesitation: "Hello, Boss Wu, I'm here to buy Songjiang seabass from you."
Wu Erbao's eyes lit up and he grinned, thinking that the person he could find to purchase Songjiang perch must be a big customer, and he must be greeted thoughtfully.
He immediately took out a pack of blue Liqun cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Liang Fei, and said enthusiastically: "Brother, are you a buyer for the hotel?"
Liang Fei didn't know how to smoke, so he refused with a smile, and then replied: "Actually, I want to buy broodstock from you."
Hearing this, Wu Erbao widened his eyes and couldn't help but feel curious. He lit up a cigarette and took a puff, then asked: "Buy broodstock? Do you want to breed bass?"
Seeing the other party nodding, he then laughed and said: "Oh, young man, this fish is not that easy to raise, let alone reproduce. More than ten years ago, this Songjiang perch was on the verge of extinction. Besides, if I go get the goods for you
, when people heard that I wanted to marry a fish, they probably wouldn’t even look at me!”
Liang Fei smiled and said: "I just know that things are not simple, so I came all the way to find you. Boss Wu, let me tell the truth. I am the boss of Xianhu Farm. If you can help me get dozens of broodstock fish,
For the goods, price is not an issue, just follow the restaurant price of 400 yuan a piece and that’s fine!”
Liang Fei has already made up his mind to breed Songjiang perch, and now he is even more willing to spend 400 yuan per fish. Buying 30 fish is only about 10,000 yuan. To Liang Fei, this small amount of money is a drop in the bucket. If
If the breeding is successful, the return on this ten thousand yuan investment will be immeasurable.
When Wu Erbao heard that the other party was willing to buy seabass at the hotel price, his heart skipped a beat. He also heard that the other party was the owner of "Xianhu Farm" and thought that this business would be a sure profit.
He then quickly put out the cigarette and said respectfully: "So you are the big boss of that farm. You are really young and promising! It's settled, four hundred yuan a piece!"
As a businessman, there is nothing wrong with being mercenary, but Liang Fei couldn't help but worry that the other party would fish in troubled waters because he didn't know the ropes. If the goods delivered were not parent fish, wouldn't he suffer a big loss?
"I've already said that price is not an issue, why don't I pay you the settlement in cash? However, here's the dirty talk, this batch of live fish must be matched broodstock!" Liang Fei said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, if you're a fish, you're a fish. Can I pick it out for you? It's just..."
Wu Erbao slapped his chest loudly and repeatedly assured Liang Fei: "If you can't reproduce, don't accuse me of wronging you. I told you, this fish is not easy to raise."
Liang Fei was secretly happy, are there any living creatures that he can't raise now?
Afterwards, the two parties shook hands to reach a deal and temporarily drew up a simple contract. Liang Fei paid a half-price deposit on the spot and left the aquatic product market happily.
A few days later, the Songjiang bass arrived as scheduled, waiting for Liang Fei's order to release the fish into the pond.
Earlier, Liang Fei had filled the fish pond with Fairy Lake water. Now there is no need to test the water quality of the fish pond. It is estimated that it can be drank directly.
After Wu Erbao arrived at the scene, he found that the water in the fish pond was very clear, but he frowned and said: "Little boss, don't blame me for talking too much. As the saying goes: if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Have you filtered the water in this fish pond?"
Have you passed it? I’m afraid it’s too clean?”
After hearing this, Liang Fei smiled playfully and said: "Ha, it's okay, Boss Wu, let the fish in!"
Wu Erbao thought, he had already reminded those who should be reminded anyway. He is not raising fish himself. If others raise fish bad, he will suffer no loss, so who cares! After reading, he ordered the workers to put fish into the fish pond.
The Songjiang bass in the water tank had been "riding" on a long-distance truck for several days and were completely listless. If the workers had not moved the water tank, causing the water inside to constantly stir, the bass would not have bothered to swing their bodies to maintain balance.
Liang Fei had never seen Songjiang perch before, but now he was greatly surprised when he saw it.
Each bass is about ten centimeters long, about the same size as your own palm. It is brown all over, with a flat and wide head. Two large fins are spread out and swinging. There are four spines behind the gill bones. Its ugly appearance is different from that of the unattractive pond mackerel.
In comparison, it is even worse.
How can such an ugly fish be sold at such a high price? How delicious is it? It is said that people should not be judged by their appearance, but I didn’t expect that the same applies to this fish!
Before all the bass entered the pond, the fat man who was watching could not hold back his greed and said quietly to Liang Fei: "Boss, why don't you keep two for a taste?"
Damn, this bass is so small, even two of them wouldn't be enough to fill the gap between this fat man's teeth!
Liang Fei immediately glanced at it and said: "You fat guy, please bear with me for now. Don't catch fish while I'm away! If the breeding is successful in the future, I will definitely let you take the first bite."
"Haha, since the boss has given the order, how dare the younger brother disobey it?"
The fat man kept rubbing his hands, looking at the fish's eyes glowing green, and he was so greedy that he almost drooled. But it was useless to be greedy. Now that the boss had spoken, he could only hold back his bad mouth.
This Songjiang perch just entered the water, and it immediately jumped on the water surface for a while, as if it had been beaten with chicken blood, stirring up layers of water spray. It looked so energetic!
Later, Wu Erbao taught Liang Fei some details of fish farming and told him that small fish and shrimps should be put in when feeding fish is possible. Songjiang perch usually feeds at night, so it is best to have a dedicated person take care of the fish pond.
Liang Fei thanked him and immediately paid the balance. The other party smiled from ear to ear and was busy trying to please Liang Fei, saying that if he had any other business projects, just go to him and the price would be favorable.
From the fish dealer Wu Erbao, we learned that it takes about a year for the Songjiang perch to grow from eggs to adult fish. Fortunately, the water in Xianhu Lake promotes the growth of animals and plants, so the time problem is easily solved.
Liang Fei thought that it would only take three to five months for the fish pond to produce the first batch of adult fish.
Songjiang seabass is considered rare and expensive nationwide. If you can occupy the first market in Binyang City, you will really have a lot of money.
Due to development needs, the company has previously contracted dozens of acres of additional farmland and forests, and now it has received several new projects. The manpower in the farm is now extremely scarce.
At this time, Wang Laoqi was asking Liang Fei whether he should recruit more staff. Otherwise, the farm might not be able to handle the work. (To be continued)
