Chapter 030: Selling at a High Price
Half an hour later.
On the edge of the dam and wharf.
……
"Wang Mazi!"
Do you accept rat-spotted mice?
Fang Hao shouted at a middle-aged fat man.
If it weren't for the fact that I don't have the ability to do it!
He wanted to keep them for himself to try.
On the way back, I joked with Song Yaxin that this fish would definitely be very delicious if we steamed it when we got home.
Song Yaxin rejected him outright!
Are you kidding me?
A fish costs two or three hundred yuan.
That's enough to buy 100 jin (50 kg) of pork.
If we took this fish home, it wouldn't even last for a few bites before everyone finished it. I doubt any ordinary family would be willing to spend the money to eat this thing.
"Ouch!"
"Myna, you have mouse spots? Are you sure it's not pearly white spots or tiger spots...?"
Wang Mazi was somewhat surprised.
He often collects seafood at the dock.
Then they were taken directly to the county town and sold.
It's like making a profit by reselling!
There's never a shortage of middlemen.
Upon seeing Fang Hao, this "jinx," they quickly went up to greet him.
Regardless of whether they look down on it or not.
On the surface, it's still best to flatter them.
"Genuine wild-caught grouper!"
"I've lived by the sea for twenty years, surely I can tell the difference between spotted rats and pearly white spots?!"
Fang Hao said irritably.
However, it's understandable that the other party has doubts.
You should know that mouse spots are very rare!
Only occasionally, when fishing boats go out to sea, might they catch one or two fish.
These are all hot items!
Big shots in the county or city have a taste for this, and money is naturally not an issue for them.
Regardless of the era.
Even in the most difficult and impoverished times, there will never be a shortage of wealthy people.
"let me see!"
Wang Mazi immediately spoke.
Clearly, their interest has increased considerably.
If it really has rat spots, it's a good thing; you might even be able to make a profit from it.
After all, good seafood is in short supply.
As long as he delivers to the Mingzhu Hotel in the county, they will accept as much as he can deliver.
"Ouch! Oh my god!"
"It really is a rat-like spotted mouse... and it's quite big."
"Myna, where did you get this? Did your dad catch it while fishing at sea...?"
When Wang Mazi saw the live rat in the bucket, he was also surprised and delighted.
This is great stuff!
This stuff costs one or two hundred yuan per kilogram.
Even so, these are still in high demand and short supply.
He often buys expensive seafood and sells it to restaurants in the county. He really likes these high-priced seafoods because they are profitable and can make a lot of money.
"One hundred dollars!"
"I won't weigh them... I'll just charge you per item, how about that???"
Wang Mazi perfectly embodies what a cunning businessman is.
Even though I was so excited I almost jumped up.
But the scam will still happen!
Get it for a fixed price.
"Wang Mazi!"
"Are you sure you're not kidding me? You think you can buy a wild grouper for a hundred dollars..."
Fang Hao's expression immediately turned somewhat displeased.
I originally thought I could accept it if he offered a lower price.
After all, grouper is a type of fish that people in rural areas can't afford, and he doesn't have the channels to sell it to the county level.
Why not just sell it to a fishmonger?
This Wang Mazi is usually quite capable; he always buys cigarettes for his group of thugs and hooligans. After all, when you come to the docks to do business, you have to give the "local bullies" some benefits.
Fang Hao is the local bully.
Although he doesn't have any great skills or abilities, most people still don't dare to provoke him.
A scoundrel?
It's easy to cause trouble if you really want to.
People who wear shoes are still a little afraid of going barefoot.
These vendors are all shrewd businessmen; they'll definitely make money if they can be friendly.
No! Absolutely not!
"Myna! Don't be angry... This grouper is indeed expensive. Those big restaurants sell it for several hundred dollars apiece, but the problem is, those restaurants make a lot of money. How much can we fishmongers make?"
"One hundred and fifty!"
"This is the highest price I can offer."
Seeing Fang Hao lose his temper.
Wang Mazi also quickly raised his prices.
If he gets this thing into the county, he can still sell it for three or four hundred yuan. He'll definitely try to make as much money as possible, but he still needs to maintain a good facade.
Under normal circumstances.
Many people in the village are familiar with the prices of ordinary seafood, but few have access to high-end seafood products.
For example, these mouse spots!
Most people only know that it's expensive.
But no one has actually sold it.
"Looks like you're pretty ruthless after all!"
"This spotted rat is worth three or four hundred yuan, but I'll only give you 150... You're making a really good deal and living too comfortably!"
Fang Hao's tone was somewhat sarcastic.
This guy wants to eat meat but won't give me any soup; it seems he thinks I'm easy to fool.
According to Fang Hao's desired price.
There are more than a hundred spots on this rat.
"Myna bird!"
"How could I dare to cheat you! How about two hundred... I won't make any money, just consider it helping you sell it..."
Wang Mazi was somewhat displeased.
But Fang Hao is someone he really can't afford to offend.
What if he really brings people to cause trouble?
I'm afraid it will be difficult to get seafood at the dock.
You should be able to make half of the 200 yuan!
"three hundred!"
"You can still make a profit!"
"The grouper is the king of the four great fish of Hong Kong Island. I won't even mention the price there. You can't lose money selling it in the county..."
Fang Hao directly stated his bottom line.
They estimated that the other party should still be able to make some money.
Anyway, Wang Mazi has sales channels.
It's nothing more than fiddling around!
If it weren't for the fact that this stuff couldn't be sold in town...
Fang Hao took them out and sold them himself.
As for taking it to the county town?
It is indeed a bit difficult to travel several tens of kilometers.
Moreover, he lacks the necessary maintenance equipment, so whether the fish can even survive to reach the county town is another matter entirely.
"Myna bird!"
"This is too expensive... I'd lose money if I bought it. Why don't you sell it to someone else?"
Wang Mazi's expression immediately changed.
Then he immediately said with a bitter expression.
Prepare to retreat in order to advance!
You see, three hundred yuan is indeed beyond his price range. Even if he could resell it for more than three hundred yuan, he still doesn't want to give that much.
Are you sure?
"If I sell it to other people... I'll have to take care of their business from now on."
Fang Hao said in a deep voice.
The word "care" was emphasized.
He believed the other party understood what he meant.
This guy made a lot of money reselling seafood and now drives a small truck. In a few years, he'll be driving a car.
They've ripped off countless villagers!
Now they're even killing him.
"Two hundred and fifty!"
"Three hundred! Three hundred it is, I'll take it at a loss. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future..."
Wang Mazi had just finished saying "two hundred and fifty".
As a result, Fang Hao's expression became even uglier.
They immediately added another fifty dollars!
As a shrewd person, he could easily understand the meaning behind Fang Hao's words.
You should know that there are only three vendors in the entire dock who do business buying and selling seafood. Two of them are locals, and he is the only one from the town.
If you offend Fang Hao!
Business will be harder from now on.
"OK!"
The price was right.
Fang Hao nodded in satisfaction.
A spotted rat sold for three hundred yuan.
Make a fortune by beachcombing today!
It was even more fun than catching blue crabs before.
Indeed, the ocean is a huge treasure trove.
If you're lucky, you can still find quite a few good things.
"..."
at this time.
Song Yaxin, who was standing next to her, was stunned.
I never expected this fish to actually sell for such a high price.
Three hundred yuan!
This isn't just three dollars!
