Chapter 33: A windfall



After hanging up the phone, Yang Zheng felt somewhat excited.

Looking at the giant mandarin fish in the fish basket, they will soon all make their move.

I estimate it can fetch a good price!

Tonight, he deliberately chose an extremely spacious spot at Longwan Beach on the north bank of the Linjiang River.

The area is flat, and cars can drive directly to the shore.

Since Lu Jiacheng is here to buy fish, he will definitely bring a professional vehicle for buying fish.

After waiting for more than an hour, Yang Zheng checked the time and found that it was already 11:30 p.m.

Just then, his phone rang.

Upon picking it up, I saw that it was a call from Lu Jiacheng.

"I've arrived at Longwan Beach. Where are you?"

"I see your car lights..."

Even from a great distance, Yang Zheng saw a small truck appear on the riverbank not far away.

So he turned on several lights.

Soon, Lu Jiacheng saw him and hurriedly drove up to him.

As the car door opened, Lu Jiacheng, a tall and thin man, jumped out of the car excitedly with two strong young men.

Seeing this, Yang Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Brother Lu, you've finally arrived."

Lu Jiacheng was clearly an impatient man, and asked directly, "Where are the fish?"

Yang Zheng turned and pointed to the water's edge, "They're all inside, all still alive."

Lu Jiacheng smiled and said, "Let me take another look..."

After saying that, he took two helpers and quickly walked to the fish basket, carefully lifting it up slightly.

As the large fish hidden in the fish basket surfaced, Lu Jiacheng beamed with delight, marveling at its beauty.

"This is a truly large, upturned beak; it's incredibly rare!"

Yang Zheng didn't waste any words and asked directly, "How much are you willing to pay for a top-quality, large, upturned beak like this, Brother Lu?"

Lu Jiacheng thought for a moment and said, "Usually they're between 150 and 180, but these are all alive and in good condition. I'll offer 200 per jin, how about that?"

Two hundred per pound?

This far exceeded Yang Zheng's expectations.

It's obvious that Lu Jiacheng is a discerning person and also a straightforward one.

Yang Zheng didn't stand on ceremony and nodded directly, "Okay."

The next step was to catch and weigh the fish.

With two helpers, Lu Jiacheng carefully removed one giant mandarin fish after another from the fish basket and gently placed them into the large water tank at the back of the truck.

Throughout the entire process, he repeatedly gave instructions.

"You two be careful not to hurt the fish."

"Kunzi, remember to turn up the aerator in the car and sprinkle some fish-revitalizing powder, try to keep them all alive..."

This small truck must have been specially modified.

All kinds of fish farming and fish care equipment are available.

Yang Zheng stood to the side, quietly watching them work, unable to get involved at all.

He was quite satisfied with Lu Jiacheng.

This middle-aged man was not meddlesome and did not ask many questions.

Anyway, I'll just buy fish. You give me fish, and I'll give you money.

As for how you got your fish, and why they were all rare, giant specimens, he didn't care at all!

As for why he spent such a high price to collect so many giant upturned beaks? Don't ask!

It took the group a long time to carefully and painstakingly place all twenty-six large, roundmouthed fish into the truck's giant water tank, ensuring they were all intact.

The weights have all been measured.

The total weight is 546 jin (228 catties), with each giant upturned beak weighing an average of 21 jin (10 catties).

This made Lu Jiacheng, who had come to collect the fish overnight, extremely happy.

After finishing, Lu Jiacheng didn't waste any time and went straight to Yang Zheng to settle the score.

"These topmouth buds weigh a total of 546 jin. At a buyback price of 200 yuan per jin, that's 100 yuan. Can you calculate it and see if it's correct?"

At this moment, Yang Zheng was extremely excited.

He suppressed his inner joy and said calmly, "Yes, that's right!"

Lu Jiacheng nodded and asked, "I didn't bring that much cash with me. Do you have mobile banking?"

Yang Zheng nodded again, "Yes, but it's ICBC."

"ICBC, right? I'll transfer the money to you via ICBC right now..."

After saying that, he opened his mobile banking app and directly transferred money to Yang Zheng by scanning a QR code face-to-face.

Transfer successful...

Soon, Yang Zheng received a notification message from ICBC that the money had been credited to his account in real time.

Looking at the string of numbers in his phone account balance, Yang Zheng's hands trembled involuntarily.

At this moment, Lu Jiacheng was in a hurry to go back and said hastily, "Xiao Yang, everything is alright now. I have to get these fish back quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid they won't survive if we leave them too long."

"Okay, okay..."

Yang Zheng nodded subconsciously.

"Let's go!"

Just as Lu Jiacheng was about to get into the car, Yang Zheng stared at their fish truck and a thought suddenly struck him.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Lu, wait a moment."

Lu Jiacheng turned and looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"Please wait a moment!"

Yang Zheng hurriedly ran into the bushes and picked up the two large black fish, each a meter long.

"Brother Lu, these two fish are for you, just a small token of my appreciation."

Lu Jiacheng stared at the two huge black goods in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Then he looked at Yang Zheng with a half-smile and asked, "What's the matter?"

People like this are very clever, so Yang Zheng didn't dare to play tricks on him. He said directly, "I have some carp and grass carp, most of them weigh over 23 jin, and they're all alive. I wonder if Brother Lu would buy them?"

Lu Jiacheng paused for a moment, then casually said, "I don't accept those. I only accept wild mandarin fish and the like."

Yang Zheng was somewhat disappointed and secretly worried about how to sell the fish in the small world.

At this point, Lu Jiacheng continued, "But I have a few friends who run giant fish fishing grounds. They buy fish, and I can introduce you to them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zheng was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Lu. Take these two fish; they're wild blackfish, so they should taste pretty good."

"good!"

Lu Jiacheng didn't stand on ceremony and had his two helpers take it and put it into the water tank.

Before getting into the car and leaving, he took two packs of good cigarettes from the car and handed them to Yang Zheng.

"Xiao Yang, if you want to get this kind of good stuff again, just come to me anytime. I'll make sure you get the best price."

"Of course, of course, thank you so much for today, Brother Lu, take care..."

Watching the truck gradually disappear into the night.

Yang Zheng took a deep breath.

He looked down and took out his phone again to check his account balance. His joy was still as intense as ever.

Damn, I never imagined these big, upturned beaks would be so valuable.

This allowed him to make a small windfall.

I originally thought I could only sell them for 70,000 or 80,000, but I never expected that the 26 big, upturned beaks would sell for almost 110,000.

He had never seen so much money in his life.

In the past, how many years would it take to save this much money?

However, this is just the beginning.

I estimate I'll be able to earn even more money once I enter the smaller world.

The upturned lips have already been sold.

Next, we need to prepare to sell the grass carp and common carp that are temporarily kept in the small world. Oh, and a few mandarin fish too.

I just don't know what the buyback price will be for those carp and grass carp?

It's certain that they aren't as expensive as the common mullet, but they have the advantage of being more numerous.

There were more than three hundred carp and grass carp in total.

There should be about 10,000 jin (5,000 kg). If you sell it to the Giant Fishing Ground at 10 yuan per jin, you'll make 100,000 yuan.

Mandarin fish and soft-shelled turtles can also be worth a lot of money.

Thinking about this, Yang Zheng felt a surge of joy.

I checked my phone; it was almost 1 a.m. The fish were all sold out, so I had to hurry back.

On his way back on his electric bike, he kept thinking to himself that he would call Lu Jiacheng again tomorrow to see if he could rent his fully equipped fish-collecting vehicle.

Otherwise, the fish in the small world wouldn't be able to be sold.
