"President Qin has a good eye. That's right, this is Mao Yu."
Feng Ye smiled and nodded, confirming Qin Aijun's guess.
He originally thought that Qin Aijun would not recognize the hairy catfish like Fatty Nie, but he didn't expect that Qin Aijun would guess it.
Qin Aijun squatted down and examined the hairy catfish again, his eyes gleaming with desire.
"It really is a hairy fish. I never thought I would see a hairy fish again in my lifetime..."
At this moment, Fatty Nie said, "President Qin, is this really a hairy fish? It looks no different from a regular fish to me."
"What do you know? That's what a hairy fish looks like. I've only seen it three times already. It's no wonder you've never seen one before!"
Qin Aijun glanced at him and said irritably.
Fatty Nie scratched his head awkwardly, not daring to say another word.
Feng Ye smiled and said, "President Qin, how are these two fish? Are you satisfied?"
"A croaker and a hairy fish, both are good stuff!"
Qin Aijun stood up, turned his gaze to Feng Ye, and asked curiously, "Where did you get these two hairy fish?"
"Could it be like that giant swordfish from Chinese New Year's Day, another one I found for free?"
"Mr. Qin, you're amazing! These two fish are practically free."
Feng Ye said smugly, while also giving a small compliment.
Qin Ai immediately became interested: "Oh? Tell me, what happened?"
"Isn't it a typhoon? We're too far from the shore, and we're fishing in the typhoon's path, we don't have time..."
Feng Ye had no choice but to recount his experiences during the two days of the typhoon once again.
"Oh, I see. I thought the typhoon had blown it ashore and you found it."
Qin Aijun laughed heartily, "You guys are really lucky. You were hit by a typhoon and were completely unharmed, and you even got two such precious fish for free."
Feng Ye also laughed: "It was purely an accident, we didn't expect it either."
"I'll take both fish. Name your price."
Qin Aijun looked at the two fish on the ground again, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Without asking Xiao Zhaojun, Feng Ye said directly, "President Qin, you can decide what to give."
On the way there, they discussed the approximate bottom price.
A croaker weighing 80 or 90 pounds is actually quite rare and has a high value; there is no fixed price.
It all depends on whether the buyer knows the value of the product and how much they are willing to pay.
Just like that big croaker last year, which was less than ten pounds bigger than this one, but sold for 20,000 yuan.
But it might not be the case with a different buyer; it might only be a little over ten thousand at most.
Needless to say, the hairy catfish is even rarer, and its value is immeasurable.
Therefore, everyone is afraid of asking for too low a price and being taken advantage of.
They were also afraid that if they asked for too high a price, Qin Aijun would think they were too greedy.
In the end, Feng Ye suggested simply handing over the pricing power to Qin Aijun and letting him decide how to set the price.
If the price meets their expectations, they'll sell it immediately; if it's lower than their bottom line, then they can negotiate later.
However, Feng Ye estimated that it wouldn't come to the point of haggling.
He believed that the price Qin Aijun offered wouldn't be too low.
Of course, he only thought it to himself and didn't say it out loud.
"You've given me a tough time."
Qin Aijun shook his head with a wry smile, his gaze falling once again on the two fish on the ground.
After pondering for a moment, I had a rough idea of the price in mind.
However, he didn't say it directly, but instead said, "How about this, let's weigh it first to see how much fish maw we can get, so I can make a price."
Before the words were even finished, Fatty Nie had already turned around and run into the shop to get the scales.
"Yes, it's time to weigh it."
To be honest, Feng Ye was also quite curious about the exact weight of the two fish.
Before long, Fatty Nie came out with a few men, carrying a scale.
The first fish weighed was the croaker, which weighed 85 jin and 4 liang, about the same as Feng Ye and the others had estimated.
Then, the hairy catfish was weighed again, and it weighed exactly 110 jin (55 catties).
"Hmm, not bad, they're all quite big."
Qin Aijun nodded, quite satisfied with the weight of the two fish.
He had only seen the hairy catfish twice before, many years ago, and those were far smaller than this one.
As for croaker, although I've seen many, it's rare to see one this big.
After weighing the fish, Qin Aijun examined them again and had a clearer idea of their price.
He first pointed to the croaker: "This croaker can probably yield 8 to 9 ounces of fish maw. I'll contribute a piece, how about that?"
Feng Ye did not answer, but looked at Xiao Zhaojun, seeking his opinion.
Xiao Zhaojun nodded: "Okay."
The price of the block has exceeded his expectations.
His bottom price was only a few dollars.
Qin Aijun then pointed to the hairy catfish on the ground.
"Fish are rare to begin with, and this one is so big. I'll offer a high price, how about this?"
Feng Ye was slightly startled.
This price is very high, and it also exceeded expectations.
He and Ah-Can exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and satisfaction in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Qin, you're very decisive. Deal."
"Okay, it's settled then."
Qin Aijun laughed and then invited, "Come on, let's go to my office for some tea. Fatty Nie will bring the money up later."
Feng Ye declined, saying, "No, Mr. Qin, I have to go to the cabin later, so I won't bother you today."
"Alright."
Qin Aijun did not insist, nor did he ask any further questions.
"Then you wait here for a while, I'll have Fatty Nie go get the money for you."
Without waiting for instructions, Fatty Nie turned around and strode into the shop.
When he came out again, he was carrying a bulging bag.
"Mr. Feng, there are pieces in here, count them."
Feng Ye took the bag and, without any hesitation, opened it directly.
Inside were six stacks of 100-yuan bills with the bank seals still intact, and another loose stack that looked to be 3,000 yuan.
He didn't touch the seal; the six stacks of money were still there. He took out the loose pieces and counted them.
After counting and confirming that there was no mistake, he smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Qin, thank you very much."
"No need to thank me, you earned this yourselves."
Qin Aijun smiled and said, "Remember to send over good stuff next time."
"Definitely, definitely."
Feng Ye readily agreed, put the money back in its place, and then took his leave.
"Mr. Qin, we'll be leaving now."
Qin Aijun nodded: "Okay, take care, come visit often."
As he watched Feng Ye and his group leave, the smile on his face never faded.
These two fish brought him such a wonderful surprise.
Especially that hairy catfish, its size was so large, it was truly rare.
He felt a surge of excitement at the thought of the fish maw inside its belly.
He didn't want to sell such a rare and precious item; he wanted to keep it for himself and collect it.
