"Hehe, karat gold? I've never seen that before. I've always seen pure gold."
Fu Wan replied, "There are all kinds of people in this world, and of course, there are plenty of oddballs too."
I was going to shake hands and say hello, but now she's too lazy to even say hello.
When the man heard Fu Wan say that his watch was made of karat gold, his eyes widened and he was about to boast about his gold watch, but Fu Wan completely ignored him and continued to display her merchandise.
"Hey, you country bumpkins, how did you get to Shanghai? You must have had to transfer several times, right?"
Let me see your stuff, tsk tsk, canned fish, dried fish, you can actually sell this stuff?
These words made Zhang Xiaoqing uncomfortable. "China is such a big country, and there are no regulations prohibiting companies from other provinces from participating in trade fairs."
Dried fish and canned fish are our group's specialty products, why can't we sell them?
Fu Wan turned her head and glanced at the items at booth number five. No wonder that person had such a foul mouth; he was selling canned goods too.
However, he sells all kinds of canned fruit, and judging from the brand, they are local Shanghai companies.
"Canned fish is not presentable, but Mr. Qian's canned fruit is?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin immediately became unhappy.
He pointed to the exquisite packaging on his table, "What's so special about canned fish? Canned fruit is the real deal."
"Your fancy stuff is just disrupting the canned food market!"
He disliked Fu Wan and her group from the beginning. Booth number four was close to the entrance, and in his hometown, the number four was associated with prosperity, so he had planned to book booth number four from the start.
When he went to pay, the people from the Chamber of Commerce told him that booth number four had been reserved.
He came here today wanting to see who this person was, but it turned out to be some nobody from some unknown, fly-by-night company.
There are also a bunch of dubious products.
People from Shanghai wouldn't even glance at something like that!
As soon as Fu Ming heard this person speak, his hands couldn't help but itch, but Fu Wan had said before she came out that he shouldn't make a move easily.
They came out to sell products, not to fight or cause trouble.
Just ignore those who are looking for trouble.
Seeing that Fu Wan and the others ignored him, Qian Jin's eyes lit up and he came up with another idea.
He pretended to be magnanimous and walked up to Fu Wan and the others' booth, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Booth number four sounds unlucky."
These customers will ignore you once they enter the door and take a few steps.
I think you guys are going home empty-handed and with a loss!
Seeing Qian Jin's appearance, Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Qian is not one of our shareholders. Whether the company makes a profit or a loss is none of your concern."
Besides, customers come to the trade fair to see the products, not to see their booth numbers. Mr. Qian, instead of worrying about this, you should be thinking about how to attract customers later.”
"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that. Our company's canned fruit is a well-established brand in Shanghai, top-notch! Lots of people come to buy it!"
After saying this, Qian Jin turned around and went back to his booth.
Booths number four and five were already close to each other, and after Qian Jin returned, he deliberately moved the things under their table closer to Fu Wan.
Fu Wan wasn't going to tolerate him. She stretched out her leg and blocked the boxes, which then returned to their original positions.
Qian Jin's face darkened upon seeing this, and just as he was about to lash out, the loudspeaker announced the official start of the food fair.
Although it's just the beginning, quite a few merchants have been coming in one after another.
Perhaps because it was still early, many people only glanced around the stalls that interested them before moving on to other places.
Several minutes passed, and no one stopped at Fu Wan and her group's stall.
"Haha, I knew it! Nobody buys your canned fish!"
Qian Jin laughed gleefully. He had attended several trade fairs, so he had a few repeat customers.
Most importantly, he also hired a few shills. People generally have a herd mentality, and when they see a lot of people gathered in front of the booth, they will also go over to see what's going on.
Qian Jin's canned goods weren't expensive, and he actually managed to sell a few orders in a short time.
Looking at the people passing by one after another, Fu Wan took a deep breath and immediately had an idea.
She began to direct everyone's actions.
"Sister Zhang, open a few different flavored cans of fish. Uncle Wang, find a plate and toothpicks. Let's also open a few packs of dried fish and squid tentacles for everyone to try."
After saying that, she glanced at the tree next to her, where many branches and leaves were hanging over the booth.
Actually, there's some obstruction, which is one of the reasons why there are so few people here.
"Fang Min and Big Brother, find some snacks. Aren't there those unopened bunches? Just tie them to the tree."
A tree that grows snacks is bound to attract attention, no matter what you say.
The group quickly did as instructed. They had actually brought plates and toothpicks with them, but hadn't found them earlier.
The moment you open the can of this snack, a spicy and savory aroma wafts out.
But that flavor alone isn't enough to attract people.
Fu Wan's eyes lit up, and she immediately raised her hand and started shouting loudly.
"Come and take a look, everyone! We have delicious and fresh canned fish and snacks here. They're all wild-caught fish and shrimp. If they're not fresh, you don't have to pay! If they're not delicious, you don't have to pay!"
Fu Wan's call attracted quite a bit of attention. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqing quickly stood in front of the stall with her plate and started hawking her wares.
"The dried fish and squid tentacles that were just opened taste absolutely delicious!"
We have spicy, numbing, and original flavors; whatever flavor you want, we have it!
Come and try it! Free samples available!
As soon as the word "free" was uttered, a lot of people immediately gathered around.
Except for a few shills, all of Qian Jin's customers were shooed away by Fu Wan and her group.
Seeing so many people in front of stall number four, Qian Jin was so jealous his eyes were practically red.
"What wild-caught seafood? It's all a lie!"
Don't believe me, people. Fresh? What a joke! I've hardly ever seen fresh sea fish.
"The way you're talking, you think the ocean belongs to you all!"
Fu Wan wasn't angry when she heard this; instead, she laughed.
She reached into her bag under the table and pulled out a photo album, then opened it to greet everyone.
"We are fishermen from Longhai City, and these canned fish and seafood products are all from fish we caught ourselves."
Look, I have photos to prove it!
The young man standing in front casually flipped his hand, and his eyes widened instantly.
"Holy crap, is that a giant starfish? A giant starfish this big?"
Fu Wan nodded with a smile, "Yes, I'm the one holding the East Star Spotted Fish, hehe, this was taken by our city's newspaper!"
The young man flipped over the photo; the rest were pictures of seafood caught by Fu Wan and her friends. People who had lived inland for a long time had never seen such a blue sea or such a complete variety of fish. Instantly, many people gathered around to look.
"Wow, the sea is so beautiful!"
"That fishing boat is pretty cool!"
"Hey, what's that he's holding, a Bluefin Golden Gun? This guy looks so familiar. Hey, comrade, is that you?"
Now it was Fu Ming's turn to be smug.
"Yes, it's me!"
