Chapter 630 The First Big Prize Appears
After processing the longfin tuna, Bai Yu led the group of kids around again.
In fact, when it comes to beachcombing, both Bai Tianhao and the other younger children have plenty of experience.
They genuinely know where fish hide, where lobsters and crabs are found, and how to catch them; they are very knowledgeable about these places.
The only thing to worry about is that these little guys are fearless and don't have the proper respect for the ocean.
They were different from Bai Yu. Although he also started going to the beach when he was a few years old, he had a mature soul inside him.
So even as a child, Bai Yu was filled with awe for the sea, and he knew which places he could go and which places he couldn't.
A person who has died once truly understands the beauty of life, and he really doesn't want to experience death again.
But Bai Tianhao and the other children were different. They were still young and had hardly ever suffered any losses since childhood. In addition, they had an uncle who made his fortune by the sea as an example, so these children really had no fear of the sea.
In their view, the sea held endless wealth, sustaining the entire village.
That's why, during this beachcombing trip, these guys got as close to the waves as possible, since the catch would be better there.
However, for Bai Yu and Li Xue, it was a bit of a headache. They had to remind Bai Tianhao and the others from time to time not to go too far.
This disrupted their own beachcombing rhythm, and their harvest was not particularly ideal.
Bai Yu only caught a few blue crabs, a few small snails, and a large octopus.
Li Xue's situation was similar to his, except that she didn't have a giant octopus.
Bai Yu and Li Xue went to great lengths to catch the giant octopus, spending a considerable amount of time to finally pull it out of the crevice in the reef.
There's nothing we can do about it; the suckers on this octopus's legs are just too amazing. This guy sticks to the rocks and won't let go, as if he's become one with them.
In this situation, do you think Bai Yu has any good ideas?
There was no good way to get it out; the only option was to use brute force to pull it out. After a tug-of-war, Bai Yu finally managed to take it down.
Just then, not far behind Bai Yu and the others, a shout suddenly broke out. The sound was so loud that even Bai Yu was startled.
"Oh my god, that scared me! What's going on over there? What happened?"
Bai Yu looked in the direction the sound came from, but apart from seeing a girl running excitedly towards the beach, he didn't find anything else.
That's right, the sound that startled him just now came from a girl, and the penetrating power of that voice was really strong.
"I'm not too sure either, but since there doesn't seem to be anything unusual around here, it shouldn't be anything serious."
Li Xue, who was standing to the side, was also very confused and didn't quite understand what had happened.
At least for now, it shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise the other employees around wouldn't have remained indifferent.
Bai Yu quickly found out what was going on. Bai Tianhao rushed over, found out the news, and then ran back.
The reason for this exciting situation is actually quite simple: the first grand prize of 10,000 yuan has appeared.
Although Bai Yu's company offers very good benefits to its employees, with an average income of over ten thousand yuan, the feeling of finding a ten-thousand-yuan prize on the beach through beachcombing is still exciting for them.
The most crucial point is that the prize the employee found was 10,000 yuan in cash, not a reward of 10,000 yuan. There is a significant difference between the two.
Upon hearing this answer, Bai Yu and Li Xue exchanged a smile and then continued their beachcombing.
However, Bai Tianhao and his three companions became interested. Before this, they had simply been beachcombing, hoping to catch some crabs and collect some scallops to exchange for money.
But now that you're telling them there are all sorts of big prizes hidden on the beach, they'll really get interested. They really love this kind of get-rich-quick scheme.
Even after Bai Yu explained to them that the various prizes they had hidden were for company employees, their enthusiasm remained undiminished.
In Bai Tianhao's words, "For every policy from above, there's a countermeasure from below."
Even if they can't redeem the prizes they find, these items still have value.
As for the method, although Bai Tianhao didn't say it, how could Bai Yu not guess it?
Forget it, Bai Yu decided to let it go. Let them do whatever they want. Since there are loopholes here, let Tian Hao and the others exploit them if they want.
And you know what? Not long after, Bai Tianhao actually found a small white ball and took out a piece of paper from it.
This small white ball is the prize that Bai Yu prepared. Bai Yu made a total of two hundred small balls, and in terms of appearance, they are similar to the wax pills of Wuji Baifeng Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine).
However, this small ball has weight, so it will sink to the bottom of the water when dropped into it.
Last night, Bai Yu and Li Xue walked along the coastline in front of the small fishing village, tossing these little balls into the water as they went. They threw two hundred of these little balls into the water.
"Uncle, look what I've seen! Is this a prize your company prepared? What does 'a week of premium afternoon tea' mean?"
Then Bai Tianhao came to Bai Yu's side with the slip of paper representing the prize, pointed to the words written on it and asked.
"It means exactly what it says: whoever finds this can enjoy a week of premium afternoon tea while at work."
What is afternoon tea?
"Food and drinks, under normal circumstances, a serving of afternoon tea is under fifty yuan. There are afternoon teas available from time to time. You can order any deluxe afternoon tea for under one hundred and fifty yuan, and the company will reimburse you."
"All you can eat for under 150 yuan? That's seven days a week, so this one slip of paper is worth over 1,000 yuan?"
"Hey, you're pretty good at math, aren't you? You figured it out despite your passion for it."
"Absolutely, Uncle. Do you think anyone would trade this note for cash with your company's employees?"
After finding out the value of the note, Bai Tianhao asked the question he cared about most: could the note be converted into cash?
After all, he has no use for this reward and can't redeem it himself, so he can only try to see if he can redeem it with a company employee.
"How much money are you planning to exchange? If it's too much, no one will be willing to exchange it."
Listening to Bai Tianhao's idea, Bai Yu also wanted to see what this little guy was thinking, whether he would make an outrageous demand right from the start and ask for something really tough.
After all, this note represents a week's worth of premium afternoon tea, so it's quite valuable.
However, Bai Tianhao's answer to him was somewhat unexpected, as was Li Xue's reaction.
"Uncle, what do you think of 100 yuan? 100 yuan for a prize worth 1,000 yuan, that should be a pretty good deal, right?"
"Here, Tianhao, this is a hundred yuan. Give me the ball."
