Chapter 41 Greed
Walking on the road, Zhang Ze was thinking about how to get a bicycle ticket.
With a bicycle, it will be more convenient for him to deliver fish in the future, and he won’t need to take the bus every day to go to the county town.
He decided to come back and ask Tong Yuanhang after selling all the fish. This guy must have been to the black market often before, and maybe he could get a ticket from the ticket seller.
Away from the dock, he went into an empty corner nearby and put all the fish into the space. He felt relaxed immediately after the bamboo basket became weightless, and then he walked quickly towards the radio factory.
When he arrived at the power plant, the fat white man was chatting with the security guard. When he saw him, the smile on his face became even brighter.
This time Zhang Ze knew the fat white man's name, Chen Zhengyou, an ordinary name.
However, when the other party saw the full bamboo basket of fish and a dozen lively lobsters today, he looked very satisfied.
The two of them quickly came to the logistics department to weigh the fish. Fearing that so many fish would be lost, Chen Zhengyou even asked the kitchen to bring three buckets over.
He had made preparations in advance and had specially brought some sea water to feed the groupers that had just been caught.
Zhang Ze sorted out today's fish. He first weighed twenty mandarin fish weighing about two catties. After weighing, the total was thirty-six catties and six ounces. He offered a price of one yuan, a total of thirty-six yuan and sixty cents, one third of which belonged to Chen Zhengyou.
Next came the lobsters, of which there were fifteen green lobsters, weighing twelve pounds and eight ounces, for a total of twenty-one dollars and seventy-six cents.
There are only three flower dragons, but they weigh 11.1 jin.
The price of flower lobsters is more expensive than ordinary green lobsters, and they are much larger in size. Zhang Ze offered a price of three yuan per pound without hesitation.
The fat white man raised his eyebrows, but stood aside calmly, so the total price of the flower dragon was thirty-three dollars and thirty-three cents.
In the end, all that was left were groupers. Tong Yuanhang alone caught 31.7 jin (15.6 kg). Zhang Ze naturally caught no less than him, but the plug-in did not provide any BUFF to increase the chance of catching a fish, so his catch was not much more than his. It was mainly because the blue grouper weighing about 10 jin (20.4 catties) at the beginning was heavier.
The grouper weighed 83.5 jin in total, of which 51.8 jin belonged to him, costing one dollar and fifty-five yuan, making a total of one hundred and twenty-five dollars and twenty-five cents.
You can't get a different price for a ten-jin grouper. Groupers weighing twenty or thirty jin are common, so a ten-jin one is naturally nothing.
Compared with the dozens of dollars last time, Zhang Ze got a total of two hundred and sixteen yuan and ninety-one cents this time.
Of this, he had to give Tong Yuanhang thirty-one yuan and seventy cents. The agreed purchase price was one yuan, and this time he was not being polite.
He gave Chen Zhengyou forty-three dollars and twenty cents, leaving himself with one hundred and forty-two.
However, Zhang Ze took some tickets as usual, and then asked for some battery tickets.
Knowing that he would go fishing at night, the fat white man discussed with the logistics and finance staff and gave him some.
Therefore, the actual amount Zhang Ze received was two hundred yuan, and the rest was exchanged for various bills of equivalent value.
However, after this exchange, he won’t need to exchange the food coupons next time. Currently, these are enough for him to use for a long time.
After getting the money, he secretly handed fifty to Chen Zhengyou, which immediately alleviated his concerns about the price of the flower dragon. He felt that Zhang Ze was quite sensible.
However, Zhang Ze gave a few more dollars not without a purpose. According to the current situation, he can rely on the space to raise seafood. When Tong Yuanhang cannot go fishing, he can go fishing all the time. In the future, he can at least earn a hundred dollars each time.
He can sell it six times a month, which means his monthly income can reach more than 600 yuan.
Of course, there is a difference between the harvest from a big tide and a small tide.
In addition, the busy farming season begins in the second half of the year, so Zhang Ze will have less time to fish, so his income is actually unstable.
Even so, his income far exceeds the current workers' income and is enough to support his family.
But in order to make it easier for him to go fishing at sea in the future, he also planned to move his family to the county town.
There is a pier in the county town, so we can dock a ship there in the future. But there is no such condition in Qinghe Village.
Moreover, if you live better than others in the countryside, there will be many people who are jealous of you.
Moreover, almost everyone in the village knows their family's background. If they feel jealous due to the contrast, they might secretly create trouble for their family.
Rural people know rural people. There are certainly good families, but there are also many scoundrels and punks.
This is also the reason why Zhang Ze is considering moving. He has two younger sisters and his younger brother is still young.
If you are often not at home, then if something happens, it is likely that your home will suffer.
So buying a house costs money, and buying a boat in the future will also cost money, and these are not cheap. He must make more money when he is still collecting fish at the radio factory.
"Boss, I want to ask if you can accept all the groupers I send you in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengyou looked at him deeply. He knew that if Zhang Ze had just fished by himself, he would never have been able to catch so many fish.
But today's kickback was so good. This was all he earned in a month before. After tasting the sweetness, he naturally wanted more, but he wouldn't say so.
"There are only so many leaders in the factory. I can't let them eat fish every day. Today's amount is enough."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Is that so? Okay, then I understand!" Zhang Ze looked honest. After listening to him, he nodded and was about to leave.
Use this rhetoric to trick him? Although he looks younger, he actually eats more salt than Chen Zhengyou eats rice.
Sanmao's kickbacks were already quite a bit, and today's total income was nearly two hundred. He opened his mouth and asked for almost one-fifth of it. Zhang Ze refused to accept more.
The price he received from Tong Yuanhang was already high, and he did it to give face to his future wife. He couldn't go back on his word and lower the price now.
Moreover, there is more than one factory here. It's just a matter of making friends with some buyers in other places. There will always be opportunities if you look for more ways.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be anxious. Actually, our sister factory also needs it. I can help you ask, but you have to show some appreciation if someone buys your fish!" Chen Zhengyou misunderstood that he didn't understand and thought he was a fool, so he quickly stopped him and made his meaning clear.
"Will this be too much trouble for you, boss?" Zhang Ze still looked honest. "Actually, a factory in Wenzhou found me these past two days and wanted to buy some grouper."
"They wanted quite a lot, but it was a bit far from here to Vancouver. I thought it was inconvenient to go back and forth, so I didn't agree directly."
"Since you don't need it, I'll be more troublesome in the future and send the extra ones to the factory in Wenzhou!"
Zhang Ze didn't want to offend Chen Zhengyou, so he didn't threaten him by quitting, but he also wouldn't let him control him easily.
Moreover, the two parties themselves would not cooperate for a long time. When the market is opened in the future, he can sell seafood in a normal market. Why should he let others take a kickback of 30 cents? Chen Zhengyou looked a little unhappy after hearing this, and he felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He was not sure whether the matter of the Wenshi factory was true or false.
At this moment, he felt that he was being manipulated. He was unhappy and wanted to stop collecting money from Zhang Ze, but this kickback was so good! If he could collect money from others, he would certainly not indulge them.
But Chen Zhengyou knew very well that he could not get so many fresh groupers and lobsters from others. Many fish died before they were halfway through, and he could not get much kickbacks.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be the situation where Zhang Ze delivered fish.
In the end, Chen Zhengyou could only compromise with a smile, saying that he would try his best to find a solution, and asked him to just send it next time, as much as he could take.
Seeing that he compromised, Zhang Ze finally took out another ten yuan, saying it was money for treating him to a meal, thanking him for his hard work for his affairs, etc.
You still have to give the sweet treat, at least to make others look good.
