Chapter 23 Radio Factory
Zhang Ze turned around with a puzzled expression: "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, young comrade, that's right. I saw that the two groupers you were holding looked good, so I wanted to ask where you bought them, or where you caught them."
The middle-aged man originally thought that he bought them from somewhere, but when he saw what he was wearing, he suddenly felt that these two fish should not be bought.
The way he is dressed doesn't look like that of a rich person, and there's no way he'd go buy grouper.
"Oh, this fish was caught by my friend and I. My friend is from Lumen Island and has a boat. During the slack season, I often go out to sea with him to catch some grouper or lobster."
"My uncle likes this. I can exchange it with him for some pork, candy, oil, etc."
Others just asked about buying or catching them, but Zhang Ze directly told him that he had channels to get these things and used them to exchange for other things.
Perhaps a fool may not be able to understand the meaning of his words, but a person with normal IQ can extract useful information from his words even if he cannot hear that he did it on purpose.
The middle-aged man naturally understood what was going on. He had other things to do at the factory and didn't want to delay here, so he said directly: "Little comrade, do you have any grouper or lobster or something like that? I also want to exchange some with you. What do you think?"
"I don't need it right now. If you have it this afternoon, how about you deliver it to the radio factory for me?"
"Send it to the radio factory? That's not impossible. How much do you want?" Zhang Ze's heart skipped a beat when he heard about the radio factory. He didn't expect to meet someone from the radio factory. He looked like a leader! He knew a little about the radio factory. This factory was one of the largest factories in Yuewan County.
The Radio Factory, Radio Factory No. 2 and several other factories introduced a large number of mold masters from areas such as Shanghai and began manual mold production, which was also the beginning of Yuewan mold industry.
Since he was the leader of this factory, it was normal for him to give some special treatment from time to time.
"It's okay, you can send over as much as you can get." The middle-aged man smiled and didn't think Zhang Ze could get much grouper or lobster.
If these things could be obtained in large quantities, they wouldn't be so scarce in the market.
And it doesn't matter if there are more people. The food here is good, and the leaders of the cooperative factories may come over for dinner often, and business will naturally be easier to discuss over the table.
"Then I'll deliver it around 4pm. I'll deliver as many as I can get."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements here, and you can go directly to the kitchen when the time comes."
After the conversation, the middle-aged man rode away on his bicycle.
He actually didn't care too much about the grouper and lobster. If he had them, that would be better, but if he didn't, there would be no loss.
But it means a lot to Zhang Ze. If he completes this order well this afternoon, he will have a long-term sales channel in the future.
Even if the other party's requirements are very high, they only want grouper and lobster.
Originally, Zhang Ze knew Tong Yuanhang, and he could buy the property from them and make a profit from the difference.
But these good things are caught collectively, and they cannot sell the collective things privately.
However, he can go out to sea alone to fish for grouper and the like. He would definitely be willing to do so as long as he can make money. Otherwise, he would not go to the black market to sell dried fish and shrimp.
He still needs to test the waters a little. In any case, whether the other party is willing or not, he will go fishing for grouper and lobster himself.
Zhang Ze put the two groupers back into the fishing space and walked towards the pier.
He wanted to go to Lumen Island. The water there was not as yellow as here and was clearer. The chances of catching grouper in the reefs were also much greater.
However, considering that there would be no place to eat lunch on Lumen Island, Zhang Ze bought three meat-filled buns, each costing 1.9 cents, and also needed meat and grain coupons.
Fortunately, each bun is quite big, so three are enough for him even if he has a big appetite.
Put the paper-wrapped buns in a bamboo basket and then walk towards the pier.
When he arrived at the dock, he originally wanted to pay for a boat ride over, but he didn't expect Tong Yuanhang was still there, and his beautiful girl was beside him.
"Hey, Ah Hang, you're still here. That's great. When are you coming back, give me a ride!"
"What do you mean by 'take you with me'? I don't understand." Tong Yuanhang looked confused and didn't quite understand what he meant.
"I just want to go to Lumen Island." Zhang Ze stated his purpose. It would be even better if he could get on the boat of an acquaintance.
"Why are you coming to my place suddenly?" Tong Yuanhang asked puzzledly.
"Let's go fish for some grouper and catch some lobsters to send to others. I don't think the water conditions at Lumen Island are good, so I plan to see if I can get more." Zhang Ze didn't mean to hide anything and whispered to him the purpose of his going there.
It doesn’t matter what you say, since the sales channels are in your hands anyway.
Tong Yuanhang was stunned, then looked at him meaningfully.
Because the dock was crowded, he didn't ask any more questions: "We are planning to go back, we can give you a ride."
The three of them then boarded a small fishing boat. Tong Yuanhang came to the stern, grabbed the oar and began to swing it backwards, while the oar moved forward, allowing the small fishing boat to slowly back out from the dock.
Tong Shuyao sat on a small bench in the middle of the boat, but Zhang Ze did not move closer to her to get to know each other first.
After all, she didn't know that her affair with Ergouzi had been exposed, and going over to her at this time would only make things difficult for her.

After a while, the boat left the dock. There were no other boats nearby. Tong Yuanhang couldn't help it and asked tentatively, "Aze, you said you want to send the grouper fishing boats to people. What if you can't catch any or the number is too small?"
Zhang Ze sat opposite him, spread his hands and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can only give away as many as we catch. Can I still conjure them up?"
"Have you ever thought about asking others to help?"
"Why, you want to help me with this?"
Zhang Ze stopped teasing him and directly exposed his little thoughts.
Tong Yuanhang smiled innocently and nodded: "Life on the island is not easy. My family has a wife and three children to support. If it weren't for my parents' help, the few work points I earned would probably starve them to death."
"I won't be trying to make money every day, and we won't meet on the black market."
"Oh, you are already the father of three children?" Zhang Ze was a little surprised when he heard that.
Although Tong Yuanhang had a dark complexion, he looked relatively young, so Zhang Ze always thought that he was only one or two years older than him at most.
"I got married early. In fact, I'm only twenty-two this year."
She is only two years older and already has three children. Zhang Ze was a little speechless.
But after looking at Tong Shuyao's baby face, he suddenly felt that perhaps the Tong family's tender faces were hereditary.
"It would be better if more people could help, but I don't know the specific situation there, so I can't say for sure about the price."
"How about this, I'll go ask for clarification today and then discuss it with you. What do you think?"
Zhang Ze originally had the plan to buy fish from Tong Yuanhang. After all, he couldn't guarantee that he could get grouper and lobsters regularly by himself.
Now that Tong Yuanhang is willing to join, that’s naturally better.
"Aze, the price is negotiable. It's okay to be lower than the market price. The fish caught collectively are sold collectively, and each household can only get a little extra money during the New Year. It's better to give you a lower price privately, at least I can have more food to eat."
Tong Yuanhang thought that he felt there was no benefit in refusing, so he quickly told him his intention.
After all, why should others bring you along when they have ways to make money? Just because your sister is pretty, others are attracted to her? Tong Yuanhang knew very well that a capable man would never lack a wife.
