Just as he was feeling quite pleased with himself, he saw Xiao Zhaojun painfully paying over nine hundred yuan in commission to the market, and he immediately felt a deep sense of sympathy.
The market organizers did nothing but provide a stall, and they made over a thousand yuan from them.
And that's not all; the Japanese also had to pay the same amount.
In this entire market, just a few hours in the early morning, the commission alone could probably be in the tens of thousands.
But this little Japanese soldier didn't seem to feel any pity at all; perhaps he's just used to it?
After the transaction was completed, the Japanese soldier did not immediately leave through the exit with the goods, but continued walking towards the stalls inside the market.
Clearly, he wanted to buy more seafood here.
Feng Ye's heart stirred as he thought of the other fishermen who had come with them.
They caught some tuna, some as few as one or two, others as many as four or five.
We'll make money off the Japanese devils if we don't take it...
So he quickened his pace and caught up with the Japanese soldier: "Boss, do you need more tuna?"
"Of course, I'll take as many as you have."
The Japanese soldier's eyes lit up, he stopped, turned to look at Feng Ye, and asked in his strangely emphasizing tone, "You also have tuna?"
Feng Ye shook his head: "I sold all of mine to you, how could I possibly have any left?"
The Japanese soldier frowned: "So what do you mean?"
“I don’t have any left, but the others who came with us caught a lot of good stuff, all very fresh, so maybe you’ll find what you need.”
"Can you take me to see it?"
"Of course, come with me."
As Feng Ye spoke, he led the way, and the Japanese soldiers quickly followed.
Feng Ye knew the general location of the other stalls and could find them easily.
They usually share a stall with several people so they can help each other out.
After all, it was their first time here, and they were unfamiliar with the place.
The two of them, one in front of the other, soon arrived at a stall not far from the entrance and exit of the goods.
This is a relatively poor stall; it's too far from the other entrance/exit.
Five or six men were standing inside the stall, eagerly waiting for customers to come in.
Upon seeing Feng Ye arrive, everyone greeted him warmly.
Whether Feng Ye knew them or not, they all knew Feng Ye.
Actually, of the people here, Feng Ye only recognized two from Dongtou Village; he didn't even know if the others were from Baishi Island.
"Uncles and elders, I've brought you business."
Feng Ye smiled and turned to point at the Japanese man behind him, "This boss is particularly interested in fish that can be made into sashimi, such as tuna, and there is no limit to the quantity, he wants as much as he can get."
He said this in Mandarin, not only to them but also to the Japanese devils.
Then he said in their local dialect, "The tuna, amberjack, and other fish I caught, as well as those from the Harvest ship, were all sold to him. Just name your price, don't be stingy..."
He also explained the prices of the various fish he sold in his local dialect.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up like light bulbs, revealing expressions of delight.
"Ah Ye, thank you, thank you..."
One by one, they excitedly expressed their gratitude.
“We’re all from the same village, no need to be so polite. You two chat with him, I’ll go take a walk.”
Feng Ye turned around, then turned back and said, "If you've sold out and he still needs something, take him to other people's stalls. We all came together, so help him out if you can."
After saying that, without waiting for their response, he started wandering around the market.
Look around, and casually inquire about the market prices of various seafood products.
This is, after all, the county's seafood market, and the purchase price here is higher than that of Feng Jiafa and his family in the village.
However, their acquisition price was reasonable and not particularly outrageous.
The gross profit margin is basically maintained between 10% and 20%, which can be considered as low profit but high volume.
Only some more expensive and higher-priced seafood products have higher gross profit margins.
This is normal; everyone wants to make money.
Taking into account various costs such as shipping, damage, and labor, the actual profit received should be less than 10%.
However, after a month, their income is quite considerable, much more than that of most fishermen.
Moreover, it's easy; they can just sit in the shop and collect goods every day, unlike fishermen who have to work themselves to the bone at sea every day.
When he finished browsing around and was about to return to his stall, he happened to see a red paper pasted on a closed shop.
The sign above reads in large characters written in calligraphy: "Prime Location for Sale".
There was also a line of smaller print: Those interested please go to shop number 4 for details.
Feng Ye glanced at the shop's number: number 11.
I looked at the entrance and exit again and found that it was quite close to the entrance, so it was a pretty good shop.
It's just unclear why the shop's owner wanted to sell it.
After thinking about it, he decided to go and see what was going on, and if possible, he wanted to buy it.
He didn't know much about business, but with his memories from his previous life, he knew that buying a house or shop now, no matter the location, would definitely not result in a loss.
Moreover, it's this seafood market.
According to hearsay, after the demolition and reconstruction, one of the shops here was worth nearly 3 million.
Moreover, shops are extremely scarce, and there's practically no one selling them.
The rent is also very expensive, basically over ten thousand per room.
However, he really didn't know what the prices of shops were like now.
He strolled to the entrance of shop number 4, where he saw a middle-aged man of about fifty years old greeting a customer inside the shop.
Some shops only do business during the day, while others operate both from dawn to dusk.
