Chen Hong smiled and shook her head, "No need for that. There's not much tea. Consider it a token of my appreciation as a fellow villager. I can't guarantee the yield. It's not too much, is it? Just tell Mr. Wang not to complain about the small amount."
"No way, the boss really liked the summer tea you sent last year, let alone such precious pre-Qingming tea. Tea drinkers all know that pre-Qingming tea is rare and very precious. This pound is worth a lot. You've been very thoughtful. I have to thank you on behalf of our boss."
Chen Hong laughed, "We don't need to be so polite between us, right? Let's just let this matter go and not mention it again. Have you calculated the payment for the tuna yet?"
Zhang Baiqiang laughed and said, "I've figured it out, but I haven't told you the price yet. Girl, we've been doing business for quite a while now, although you have a few tuna that are good enough to be auctioned off."
But as you know, if you put it up for auction, the various export and import taxes and fees can amount to a considerable sum. And it's not like you can just go and bid immediately; you have to wait.
I suggest you settle at the current price. Instead of waiting, you might as well go out to sea and catch a few more. After deducting import and export taxes, transportation costs, and various commissions, you won't make much more money.
Chen Hong said, "I entrusted this to you because I trust you. You are experts, and I will listen to you. Settle the account for me now. As for whether it goes up for auction or how much it can fetch, that's up to your skills."
I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I'll just focus on fishing and won't get involved in anything else.
Zhang Baiqiang slapped his thigh and said, "Girl, I knew you were a straightforward person. Last night, our store's leaders had a meeting and were worried that you wouldn't agree and would insist on waiting for it to be shipped to Japan for auction. See, I was right. We straightforward people just love to do things decisively."
Zhang Baiqiang asked Chen Hong to sit down and have some tea. "Come on, sister, let me tell you in detail. Six of these eleven tuna weigh over 500 jin each, and they're especially fat, meeting the auction standards. The highest price in the domestic market right now is 600 yuan per jin, so the six tuna weigh a total of 3362 jin."
Four of them weighed over 450 jin (225 kg), so we'll settle at 460 yuan per jin. These four weigh a total of 1693 jin (849.9 kg). There's also a smaller one that weighed 230 jin (115 kg), which will be settled at the original price of 260 yuan per jin. The total is 2,825,780 yuan. If you agree, I'll take you to the accounting office to collect the money.”
Chen Hong stood up. "Then let's go. What's there to disagree with? I'm handing this over to you. How much you sell it for later depends on your skills. I agree to this price."
So Zhang Baiqiang led Chen Hong to the accounting office to settle the payment for the tuna, which amounted to more than 2.8 million yuan.
Chen Hong was delighted to receive the money and wanted to invite Zhang Baiqiang to lunch. Unfortunately, Zhang Baiqiang didn't have time yet; he was leaving for Jinan soon to deliver some tuna to the main store and also to give Mr. Wang some tea.
They agreed to have dinner together next time. Yu Hong and Zhang Baiqiang broke up. After leaving the hotel, Yu Hong went to the supermarket to buy a carton of mid-range cigarettes and then went to the tourism bureau.
After chatting with the gatekeeper for over an hour, Chen Hong finally learned the names of the deputy director and section chief in charge of the business, as well as the location of their offices. After leaving two pounds of apples to thank the gatekeeper, Chen Hong went directly to the deputy director's office.
When I knocked on the door, the manager was in his office. He introduced himself and said that he had built the small hotel in response to the government's call, but he needed the support of higher-level leaders.
After showering her with compliments, Deputy Director Liu finally smiled broadly and was told to go directly to Section Chief Yang to register, indicating that her village would be given priority once there were customers.
Chen Hong thanked Deputy Director Liu and turned to find Section Chief Yang, conveying Deputy Director Liu's instructions and secretly leaving behind a pack of cigarettes. Section Chief Yang immediately greeted her warmly, leaving her her hotel details and exchanging phone numbers with her.
After leaving the tourism bureau, Chen Hong smiled as she got into the car. This was a sure thing; as long as she left her information, they would really do something practical.
Chen Hong never felt ashamed of flattering or fawning. Her superiors were pleased to receive such flattery, and she herself benefited, making a fortune. It was simply a matter of different people getting what they needed!
I found an advertising company on the commercial street and had them customize several advertising light boards and road signs. It cost me more than 1,800 yuan in total. They even came to install them after they were made. I paid a 500 yuan deposit and left my address and contact number.
Chen Hong went to the supermarket and bought a large amount of meat, planning to prepare some food in advance and store it in her space when no one was around, so that she could use it as her daily meals on her next voyage.
Now Chen Hong really enjoys the life of going out to sea alone. Whether she goes up the mountain or down to the sea, no one can restrict her, and she has space as her support. This is the freest life.
I found a secluded spot, picked out all the fruits currently available in the supermarket, packed them into two boxes, and drove straight home.
The small inn is open for business, with only Uncle Village Chief and his wife, and Uncle Erhu there. There are no guests yet, and Aunt Erhu and Xiaofeng are too embarrassed to come for lunch. Only Uncle Erhu is here helping out with chores and will eat lunch here.
