Shortly after Feng Haidong hung up the phone, Fang Jianxing received several calls from the provincial capital to Feng Baoan's shop in the town.
Because of Feng Haidong's instructions, Fang Jianxing didn't hold back with the bosses who called to inquire.
Basically, we give the other party a quote and let them decide for themselves, while also making it clear that the delivery cost must be borne by the other party.
After a few phone calls, Fang Jianxing and Feng Baoan said with a smile, "Uncle Baoan, it looks like we're really going to have a big business deal this time."
Feng Baoan said, "Don't be too happy yet. Don't you remember what Hai Dong said? We need to prioritize the supply to his two stores. As for the other stores, big and small, they may not really want it."
Fang Jianxing said, "So I told Uncle Bao'an to talk to Haidong and ask him to start raising crayfish in your village too. Raising crayfish is really easy, and they grow really fast. I asked Xiao Liang, and if the village starts raising them in May, they should be ready to go on the market in July or August."
Feng Baoan was somewhat surprised: "Really that fast?"
Fang Jianxing said, "Uncle Bao'an, Xiao Liang is a professional. If he says it can be done, it definitely can. So go back and quickly count the people in the village who are willing to raise them, and tell everyone to hurry up. We should start in May and wait until July, August, and September to market them, just in time for the best season."
Fang Jianxing said seriously, "Moreover, Uncle Bao'an, think about it. Haidong has spread to the provincial capital. In May and June, it will become popular in the provincial capital. Just in the summer, there will be a lot of demand in the provincial capital, and the crayfish from your village will be on the market as well."
Feng Baoan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the village this afternoon and discuss it with them."
Fang Jianxing said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on things at the shop for you this afternoon, Uncle Bao'an."
Feng Baoan smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Jianxing."
At this moment, everyone is full of expectations for the crayfish business.
Feng Baoan didn't even have lunch in town. As soon as Fang Hongwei returned from the provincial capital, he immediately set off back to the village to discuss the matter.
When Fang Hongwei returned, he was quite honest and took the initiative to take out the money to give to Fang Jianxing.
Fang Jianxing watched as Fang Hongwei took out all the money given to him by several bosses in the provincial capital and said with a smile, "Hahaha, you're really a simpleton. No wonder your Uncle Haidong likes you so much. Alright, this money is from them, so just take it. Your Uncle Haidong already told me about it."
Fang Hongwei was somewhat surprised: "Uncle Haidong already told you?"
Fang Jianxing said, "Of course I told you. It's much faster to call than to drive back."
Then Fang Jianxing said, "Your Uncle Haidong has made the decision. From now on, when you deliver goods to the provincial capital, those bosses will pay you for the freight. Don't spend it recklessly, kid. I'll open a savings account for you later, so you can save it for when you get married."
Fang Hongwei said embarrassedly, "Uncle, why are you saying the same thing as Uncle Haidong?"
Fang Jianxing said, "You brat, this is for your own good. Your parents aren't in good health, and the family depends on you, right? If you earn money and get married, at least they can help take care of your parents at home, right?"
Fang Hongwei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and Uncle Haidong."
Fang Jianxing patted Fang Hongwei on the shoulder.
In fact, like Feng Haidong, he genuinely liked Fang Hongwei's honest and simple personality. Perhaps Fang Hongwei was not as outgoing as some of the more active young people in the village and town, and he was not as smooth in his dealings with others.
But Fang Hongwei's honest and simple nature is the kind of personality that allows him to do things well in a down-to-earth manner.
This is exactly what Feng Haidong and Fang Jianxing need most right now.
Fang Jianxing continued, "Alright, don't drive this afternoon. Go home and get some rest. You might have to work hard tomorrow. You have to deliver goods to Uncle Haidong in the morning and deliver to restaurants in the city in the afternoon."
Fang Hongwei said, "Okay, Uncle, I know. Actually, I can deliver it again this afternoon."
Fang Jianxing immediately said, "What are you thinking, kid? You've been driving all morning. It'll be too tiring to drive again this afternoon. Making money is important, but you can't ruin your health. Your Uncle Haidong and I are counting on you."
At this moment, Fang Hongwei was genuinely moved as he listened to Fang Jianxing say these words.
Fang Hongwei's father was very young when he went into the mountains to quarry stones with others and his leg was broken. Although he kept his leg, he was left with a disability. His mother was a relatively honest and simple country woman.
Therefore, Fang Hongwei experienced some discrimination in the village from a young age, which led to his introverted personality.
However, the hardships his family endured also shaped Fang Hongwei's hardworking and honest character.
Over the years, almost no one has paid much attention to Fang Hongwei.
Hearing Fang Jianxing care about him so much, telling him not to drive too much and even to earn more money, Fang Hongwei felt as if he had received a father's love.
Thinking of Feng Haidong in the provincial capital, Fang Hongwei felt truly lucky to have such a good uncle as Fang Jianxing, and to have Uncle Feng Haidong in the provincial capital treat him so well.
Fang Hongwei was determined to work hard under the guidance of his two uncles.
After having lunch with Fang Hongwei, Fang Jianxing decided to impound Fang Hongwei's car to prevent him from driving it again. He then made Fang Hongwei walk home to rest.
Furthermore, Fang Jianxing also asked Fang Hongwei to bring some things back to his parents from town.
Fang Jianxing earnestly instructed: "Don't give all the money to your parents when you get home, otherwise your dad will take it to gamble or drink. Also, bring these fruits to your parents and tell your dad to drink less and eat more fruit. Just say it was me who said it. If he doesn't listen, come back and tell me, and I'll go find him."
Fang Hongwei said, "Uncle, I understand. I'll go back now."
Fang Jianxing then told Fang Hongwei to go home and rest first.
Shortly after Fang Hongwei left, just as Feng Haidong had predicted, some seafood vendors from the city came to the shop.
When these seafood vendors came to his door, Fang Jianxing felt as if he had met a god of wealth.
"Haha, what are you all looking to buy?"
When the seafood vendors entered, they all felt unfamiliar with Fang Jianxing and were reluctant to speak for a moment.
However, seeing the crayfish in the store, the owners knew they hadn't come to the wrong place.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Fang Jianxing smiled and asked, "Are you looking for my Uncle Bao'an? He had to go back to the village first. You can tell me if you need anything."
Hearing Fang Jianxing say this, the seafood vendors from the city immediately felt relieved.
Next, the owners of seafood shops in the city began to discuss with Fang Jianxing about buying crayfish from him.
Following Feng Haidong's instructions, Fang Jianxing did not directly mention the aquaculture business. Instead, he negotiated with the seafood business owners based on the price Feng Baoan directly charged for crayfish.
