Chapter 113 This boss has no moral principles and actually doubles the price of fish
Zhang Ze's original plan was to send the fish to the restaurant and ask people if they wanted them. He also had no intention of selling it to the aquatic station.
It is really a loss to sell the king fish at the price of ordinary fish meat.
But after hearing from Ou Shuxiang what happened at Yuewan County Fisheries Station, he immediately changed his mind.
A large sturgeon weighing more than 100 kilograms costs only a few hundred yuan at most, which is incomparable to the 4,000 yuan for tens of thousands of kilograms of hairtail.
So he thought it would be better to let the hotel management take the initiative rather than going there himself, and it didn't seem to be a big deal to be a little more high-profile.
I might be a little jealous, but I won't do anything to him. Four or five hundred dollars could be a thief's target at most.
But there are several grown men around him, so if he is careful, his things won't be stolen.
Currently, only Ou Shuxiang knows his real income in detail. Even Tong Yuanhang and Zhang Qinghe cannot guess the exact amount. They only know that he earns a lot.
And they are all our own people and are trustworthy.
"Aze, how long are we going to walk around for?"
"It's still early. We've only walked one street, and there are still a few more streets to walk. Everyone be patient. I'll treat you to lunch at noon."
There are many people gathered around him to watch the fun. It's not that fishermen have never caught big fish, but the fish caught in the past did not belong to the fishermen individually. Now that the market is open, he is the first one to dry fish everywhere, which gives people a sense of freshness.
Just after Zhang Ze walked around two streets, someone finally stopped him and wanted to buy the big sturgeon.
The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing a formal suit. He was accompanied by two people, who should be employees.
"Hello, I'm the manager of Juxianlou. I heard that you want to send this fish to the aquatic station to sell. Actually, after hearing the news, I am also interested in buying it. Can we talk about it?"
Just when Zhang Ze was about to agree, the sound of two motorcycles was heard.
The crowd dispersed and two young men on a motorcycle approached them.
When one of the young men saw the manager of Juxianlou, he frowned, but he still smiled and greeted the other party, and then said to him: "Hello, do you want to sell this fish? Our Weiyou Restaurant is willing to buy it at a high price?"
Zhang Ze was a little surprised. He thought the young man on the motorcycle would be more arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be so polite? "Who are you?"
"This is the owner of our Weiyou Restaurant." Hearing his question, the young man who came with him quickly explained.
Zhang Ze had a smile on his face, but did not offer a price immediately. Instead, he parked the bicycle, opened the fish gills to show them, and began to introduce the fish.
"I caught this fish from the sea last night with a hook. I put it in ice immediately after catching it, so the fish is still very fresh. You can take a look at its gills."
As he did so, several people who came to buy fish came over to take a look. Seeing that the fish's gills were still bright red, they all nodded, obviously satisfied with the freshness of the fish.
Just like the manager of Juxianlou, he did not quote a price immediately but chose to negotiate because he was afraid that the fish was not fresh.
No matter who buys fish, they must first check the condition of the fish before making an offer. Otherwise, if you buy a fish that is not fresh, can you eat the internal organs including the fish bladder? "The fish weighs about 108.2 jin, so it's 108 jin. Now both of your families want to buy fish, so I want to hear your price first."
After Zhang Ze introduced the fish, he pushed the price issue back to the other party.
He really wanted to sell the fish to a restaurant in order to seek long-term cooperation, but if the price did not satisfy him, he might as well sell it directly to the fishery station to save trouble and avoid having to wander around the streets and be noticed by others.
Because of the value of the swim bladder of the sturgeon, the larger it is, the more valuable it is, both now and in the future.
The fishery station roughly divides sturgeons weighing less than five kilograms into one grade, and the purchase price is only 1.5 cents.
The prices vary from five to ten kilograms, and from ten to twenty kilograms.
For items weighing more than 20 kilograms, prices are generally negotiated on the spot.
The resources are good now, but there are not that many sturgeons weighing more than 20 kilograms, especially in the coastal waters here. The fishing boats in the distant seas are all in other cities and have nothing to do with them.
If what the man at the dock said before was true, then the 50-plus kilogram sturgeon was sold for over a hundred yuan, which is about two yuan per piece. It is not excessive for him to sell this one for four or five yuan per piece.
However, he still underestimated how wealthy these bosses were.
The manager of Juxianlou knew that he had no choice but to compete, so he was the first to make an offer: "I'll pay three hundred for this fish."
The Weiyou boss raised two fingers and said, "I'll give you five hundred."
"five hundred?"
"Huang Tian San Bao, can a fish be sold for 500?"
"Yesterday I heard that a few people in Yuewan County sold 10,000 kilograms of hairtail and made 4,000 yuan. I didn't expect to see an even more outrageous one today, selling one fish for 500 yuan."
The manager of Juxianlou frowned and said, "I have five hundred and fifty."
The owner of Weiyou Restaurant held up two fingers and said, "I'll add two hundred, a total of seven hundred and fifty."
Five hundred yuan was already shocking, and the price was even more shocking. I didn't expect the owner of Weiyou Restaurant to add two hundred yuan. How could bidding be done like this? But in fact, whether it was the manager of Juxianlou or the owner of Weiyou Restaurant, their purpose was the same.
No matter who buys the fish, people at the scene must know about it and see it, and then let them spread the word.
Originally, Zhang Ze had attracted a lot of people's attention by taking the fish for a tour. Now that word had spread about how much money a restaurant had spent just to buy a fish, his fame naturally increased.
Whether now or in the future, this is the reason why these bosses spend high prices to buy seafood.
It may seem like a big mistake, but in fact you can earn more later.
The price of yellow croaker in Zhejiang and Fujian regions is outrageous. Even though people know it is a waste of money, why do many people still buy it to treat guests? The reason is actually the same.
I spent ten thousand yuan to buy a few kilograms of yellow croaker, but I might be able to get more potential value from the yellow croaker.
Of course, there are some real big victims, and there is nothing much to say about them.
When the manager of Juxianlou heard the price of seven hundred and fifty, he frowned and then made another offer: "I'll offer eight hundred."
He is just a manager with limited power, and it is unlikely that he can compete with the young man who is the boss.
"One thousand." The owner of Weiyou Restaurant looked in surprise at the manager of Juxianlou who continued to offer the price, and then added two hundred again without hesitation, looking like a rich and willful person.
But when Zhang Ze looked around, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Five hundred was fine, as he was relatively safe with a group of men around him. One thousand, even if he had men around him, he was afraid that someone would find a chance to surround him.
He didn't expect to meet someone who didn't take money seriously, but since the boss was young and frivolous, it was not surprising that he offered such a price.
One thousand fish per piece is enough to keep this topic discussed in Wenshui City for several days.
As expected, the fish was bought by the boss of Weiyou. The manager of Juxianlou could only give him a contact number with a wry smile, saying that next time if there was anything else, he could contact him directly.

The boss of Weiyou asked them to deliver the fish to Weiyou Restaurant now. He asked the young people around him to follow him while he left first on his motorcycle.
"You guys, if you have anything on you, cover your face." Zhang Ze reminded the few people around him who were still in shock from the one thousand yuan, and he pulled up his inner clothes to cover half of his face.
"Aze, what are you doing?" Tong Yuanhang was confused.
"I was afraid of being stared at, so everyone covered their faces." Zhang Ze explained.
Now the others immediately understood that the current environment was not very good, and they all did as they were told.
The young man who stayed with Weiyou was not surprised to see this, he could understand it.
After they delivered the fish to Weiyou Restaurant, Zhang Ze met the owner of Weiyou Restaurant again and made a small request: "Hello, boss, can you let us park our bikes here for a while? We will come to pick it up tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Weiyou boss Zhao Xianghua showed an expression that was half a smile, and it was obvious that he understood what was going on.
He did not refuse, but nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Zhang Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the other party agree.
After getting the money, he took Tong Yuanhang and others away, but did not go home immediately.
With so many people on the road, who knows if anyone is staring at them.
If he goes home, there might be thieves visiting his house every day. The same goes for Zhang Qinghe and others. After all, they are all around him. Who knows if they will cause trouble for them as well.
Zhang Ze first made a public phone call to Wuweihe and asked Ruan Yanrong to tell her family that she would not be back for lunch and might not be back for dinner either.
Then he took a few people on the bus to Yuewan County and took them to have lunch first.
Since we sold so much money, it's only right that we treat everyone to a meal.
Then he took them to a department store, where they each chose a set of ready-made clothes to change into. He also bought some gifts and went to the pier to find some acquaintances on Lumen Island. After waiting for a while, they went to Lumen Island together.
When there are many people at sea, we don’t have to worry about others following us, because even if they do, we can find them at the first sight.
Fortunately, they did not find any suspicious people. They came to the father-in-law's house on the island, chatted for a few words, and got two ready-made longlines.
After having dinner at his father-in-law's house, they left. Zhang Ze gave them some money and asked someone to send them back to Wenshui City.
After changing into new clothes, the few people dispersed and went home after arriving at the dock. Zhang Ze didn't believe that anyone could keep up with them after going around like this.
It's right to be careful. When they came out of the restaurant, there were indeed two thieves from the organization who followed them all the way to Yuewan County. But after they took a boat to Lumen Island, the two people who followed them became nervous. There were five or six boats and more than a dozen people on them, so how could they dare to follow?
In the end, he had no choice but to leave the dock cursing.
"Why are you back so late?" Zhang Huihong didn't open the shop today. Tong Shuyao, Zhang Qian and others were also there, as if they were waiting for him to come back.
"Nothing. After selling the fish, I had to treat Ahang, Qinghe and the others to a meal. I went to see Shuyao's parents in the afternoon and brought back the longline I ordered earlier." Zhang Ze did not tell the details of the fish selling, for fear that Zhang's mother would worry.
But the big sturgeon on his boat was seen by Zhang's mother and others, and the news of selling fish had already spread, so how could Zhang Huihong not guess what was going on?
She looked at her son and sighed, "Son, we have food and clothes now, so don't do anything so risky in the future. If it's just thieves targeting you, at least they just want money."
"If you run into some vicious people, I'm afraid you might even lose your life."
Zhang Ze looked at Tong Shuyao's red eyes, and the concerned looks of Zhang Qian, Zhang Qing and Zhang Wu, and felt very embarrassed.
I thought I could keep it a secret, but I didn't expect that they all knew about it.
"Actually, there won't be a next time. This incident has already made all the restaurant owners aware of this good way of publicity. I'll buy a tricycle in the future so that the fish can be hidden. I can just deliver it to them when the time comes. As for how to promote it, they can just arrange their own people to perform it."
The price of this is that the price of the king fish may be cheaper, but Zhang Ze doesn't care.
Who knows if next time I will meet someone as wealthy as the boss of Weiyou, who will double the price of a 500 yuan fish for publicity.
I'm afraid of having too much money! I've been going to bed around 2 a.m. lately. I'm not in the mood to write today, so I'll write two chapters first. I'll go to bed early tonight and continue writing tomorrow.
