The female protagonist, Lin Ziyan, was an aquaculture PhD and a double major in ship design in her past life. She was reborn into the body of a girl from a small fishing village in Fuzhou.
Ju...
"You guys, follow Grandpa Huang and build this place up first, okay?" Lin Ziyan turned to look at Wei Ting and the others.
They nodded quickly, saying they'd get work done first and worry about the rest later.
Looking at the land, Wei Ting asked, "Is this going to be another seafood market?"
Grandpa Huang was equally puzzled; he had been pulled over by Lin Ziyan earlier but hadn't been able to get any clear answers.
"No, it's about building an electronics wholesale market," Lin Ziyan said casually, glancing down at the map and noting down a few things that needed attention.
The drawing was rough, but Grandpa Huang didn't say much, so it must be something that could be built.
If it weren't for the limited budget, Lin Ziyan would have built a three-story building directly, but the foundation she reserved could support a maximum of five stories.
We'll definitely have to add more later, so it's better to preserve what we have than to tear it down and rebuild...
"Huh, appliance wholesale?"
"Ayan, do you have a source of goods?" Ajian was so excited he almost jumped up.
He had been eyeing the electronics at the Friendship Store in Fuzhou for a long time.
Wei Ting and the others were also stunned and looked at Lin Ziyan anxiously.
Mr. Huang was equally excited. His wife had been wanting to buy a TV for a long time, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
"The goods will be delivered to the port in a week. Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry to build the store?" Lin Ziyan said calmly.
Then, checking the time, she realized that the materials she ordered should be ready to be delivered.
Ah Jian, "..."
Grandpa Huang was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, slapped his thigh, and said, "Let's start construction today."
Wei Ting and his friends were incredibly excited. If the electronics wholesale market opened here, how lively would this place become?
Lin Ziyan didn't pay attention to them. Instead, she walked to the intersection and directed the truck to haul the materials inside.
After putting the ingredients away, Lin Ziyan handed them all over and prepared to go to the seafood market.
…
At this moment, the entrance to the seafood market is blocked by a large truck.
The trucks that came to pick up the goods were all stuck at the entrance, and soon a long line of cars formed.
"Master Li, will this work?"
"We can't find those shrimp wholesalers. Blocking the entrance to the seafood market is considered disrupting the market. If they call the police, we're all finished," the worker said anxiously.
More and more people surrounded the truck, and he shrank back, not daring to look outside.
Mr. Li said, "This is the only thing we can do now. There must be someone here who knows those shrimp farm owners. We have to take a gamble, otherwise, with such a huge loss, we'll both lose everything."
He squinted, waiting for the person in charge of market management to come out and resolve the issue.
When Mr. Li bought this batch of goods, he had a bad feeling.
When he usually comes to pick up goods, he usually gets them from market stalls.
He encountered those shop owners in the parking lot that day, but he assumed they were the stall owners inside and didn't think much of it.
Plus, the shrimp was very cheap, so Mr. Li didn't think much of it, only to find out he'd been ripped off...
I rushed to the seafood market and searched every stall, but I still couldn't find those people.
“Why are you blocking the entrance? If you don’t move your car, we’ll call the police.” A market management staff member came out, wearing a red cloth with the market’s name written on it.
Several staff members, looking serious, began banging on the driver's side window.
Seeing this, Mr. Li gritted his teeth, rolled down the car window and shouted, "I took a whole carload of shrimp, they're big but they have no flavor at all when cooked. I'm here now to demand an explanation."
"If your market manager doesn't come out, I'll block the road with my car."
“Impossible. We test the shrimp in our market every day. You’ve probably been scammed and are just here to cause trouble,” one of the staff members with a buzz cut retorted.
"Call the police," he said, then turned to a colleague next to him.
There are many business owners gathered here. If this kind of false information gets out, the market's business will definitely be affected.
The staff member with the buzz cut continued, "If you really bought it in our market, why don't you just make a scene at that stall and block the entrance? Wouldn't that just be causing trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Master Li looked at the murmuring crowd, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He hadn't expected that a market inspector would have such keen observation skills, hitting the nail on the head.
Those who had been influenced by his words immediately looked at him with suspicion.
“That’s right, I really bought it from the market. When I found the stall, the stall owner didn’t dare to refuse.”
"Tsk, if this guy hadn't said it, I would have almost been misled by what the driver said."
"Is someone jealous of the booming business at this seafood market and has hired people to cause trouble?"
After hearing the murmurs, Master Li's face turned considerably paler.
The first time he came with his boss, he was just there for the fun of it; he squeezed in to get the goods because there were so many people.
Such a large seafood market is unlikely to rip people off, since it's not just open for one day.
Mr. Li was actually looking for the person in charge of the market. He drove here but couldn't find anyone, so he did this out of desperation.
There's a long traffic jam now, and if the market manager doesn't arrive soon, the police might be here soon.
"Master Li, what should we do? This market seems dangerous; they might have someone protecting them."
"Should we just drive the car away?" The young worker next to him had a shifty look in his eyes, his head almost buried under the passenger seat.
Master Li glared at him. If this man hadn't kept saying that the shrimp were big and easy to sell, he wouldn't have placed an order just because of their size.
Just as he was getting so anxious that his back was covered in cold sweat,
"What happened?"
Mr. Li looked toward the source of the sound and saw the market manager; his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Brother Jian, they say there's something wrong with the shrimp we bought wholesale from here. They say the shrimp are too big and have no flavor after cooking. It's been stuck here for ten minutes," the man with the buzz cut hurriedly explained.
After listening, Lin Ziyan narrowed her eyes and whispered a few words to A-Jian.
After hearing her words, a cold glint flashed in Ah Jian's eyes, and he quickly stepped forward and said a few words to the driver.
The people nearby didn't understand what they were talking about, and the car immediately drove to the parking lot next door.
"Go and write a notice stating that the market will not be responsible for after-sales service for shrimp not purchased from the stalls..." he instructed the crew-cut man next to him.
He then walked to the parking lot with Lin Ziyan.
This matter is not difficult for them to handle, and posting the notice is also to prevent others from being deceived again.
Mr. Li got out of the car and waited for a while. Seeing the two approaching, he breathed a sigh of relief and apologized.
"It was wrong of us to block the door just now; we were forced into it."
"Mr. Lin, do you really know those bosses?"
Lin Ziyan, "Can I take a look at your shrimp?"
Ah Jian introduced, "Master Li, this is the market owner."
"Of course! To keep the shrimp alive, I even fully charged the battery before turning back halfway." Mr. Li's eyes lit up instantly.
I didn't expect to run into the market owner today; this matter is probably going to be resolved.
Mr. Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He went to the back of the truck, opened the tarpaulin, and showed them the shrimp inside.
These shrimp have been kept oxygenated and are still very healthy and large.
The only difference is that the shrimp's body color is grayish-white, unlike sea shrimp and other farmed shrimp, whose body color is darker.
Lin Ziyan only glanced at them, and before even scooping them up, she knew these shrimp were the kind of quality the chubby girl had described.
Experienced business owners are unlikely to be fooled; these two are clearly novices.
