Last night, when Chen Weiqiang said he was going to close down for a day, everyone laughed at him for wanting to close down and run away.
When the group of anglers in the group saw the 10-pound grouper he posted in the evening, they went crazy.
Messages kept coming in, almost all asking where he fished. In an attempt to find out his fishing spot, many people said they wanted to buy fishing gear from him.
Chen Weiqiang made a few pretentious remarks about Versailles before finally saying that he was going out to sea to fish.
He cleverly kept the secret of Seagull Island from him.
However, he wasn't lying; they did indeed go out to sea today.
Because of Chen Weiqiang's suggestion to go fishing at sea, Chen Feng's fishing boat and tickets sold out like hotcakes.
Even though it was a weekday, the ferry tickets were fully booked for the next two days.
Seeing the fishing boat's income steadily increasing this month, Chen Feng was overjoyed and immediately sent his uncle a large red envelope to thank him.
Chen Weiqiang was very happy to see the 200 yuan red envelope; it was extra income.
Then he secretly put it into his own private stash of money.
Chen Weiqiang proudly showed off in two fishing groups, and then promoted the Melo pearls that would be auctioned tomorrow to his daughter.
This is a relatively rare item, but there are quite a few people who are interested in it.
Moreover, these fishermen aren't short of money, so they can buy it to appease their wives.
You have to appease people before they can come out fishing, something Chen Weiqiang, who often goes night fishing, knows all too well.
When I got home, three bosses in the group were interested in this Melaleuca pearl and said they would come to attend the auction the next day.
Two other regular customers were coming to buy fishing gear, so they took the opportunity to join in the fun.
Five people have been confirmed for this auction so far.
Back home, Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting each held a pearl and looked at it, both very interested in the pearl inside the coconut snail.
Yan Shuting looked at the irregularly shaped Melo bead in her hand with a somewhat disgusted expression:
"These Melaleuca beads are not pretty at all, would anyone actually buy them?"
"This one is irregular and not in very good condition, so I doubt anyone will buy it. But this round one looks alright; I saw similar ones online costing ten or twenty thousand yuan each."
Chen Zhiyao was quite confident. "There are five people here for the auction. Surely one of them will buy something?"
"So expensive?"
Grandma Chen held the round Melo bead, looking at it from left to right, but couldn't see what was so special about it, so how could it be worth ten or twenty thousand?
The old lady was completely baffled.
Compared to the supposedly rare but not particularly attractive Melo pearl, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law preferred the gleaming gold.
Chen Zhiyao has recently made a lot of money by fishing and beachcombing, and she is thinking of preparing a small gift for the two of them.
If the Melo pearls are sold, the money can be used to buy a gold bracelet for each of them.
However, Chen Zhiyao didn't tell anyone about this decision, planning to buy it back and give them a big surprise.
The auction started at 2 p.m., and Chen Zhiyao slept until 10 a.m., finally not having to get up early to go beachcombing.
After breakfast, Chen Zhiyao put on beautiful makeup and then wore a particularly pretty dress.
New look
With the auction of Melo pearls scheduled for the afternoon, the Chen family had lunch early and went to the fishing tackle shop.
Chen Weiqiang's fishing tackle shop is located in the suburbs of the county town, right on the roadside leading to the beach.
The shop isn't big, but there's a fairly large warehouse in the back, filled with all sorts of fishing gear and bait.
Besides Chen's fishing tackle shop, there are two other fishing tackle shops that haven't been open for long on the left and right sides.
Since two fishing tackle shops recently opened, their business has been significantly taken away.
As he passed by, Chen Weiqiang glared at the owner inside with a displeased expression.
"Hmph, a bandwagoner."
Not long after the group arrived at the store, two men in their early thirties came in. Both of them were regular customers of the fishing tackle shop.
The tall man in the white coat was a wealthy second-generation heir surnamed Li. He didn't have to work; he spent his days either fishing or on his way to fish.
The other person, wearing a black windbreaker, was his friend, also a wealthy second-generation heir.
Both of them are seasoned fishing enthusiasts, and the fishing rods they use are mostly worth tens of thousands of yuan, with even the cheapest ones costing several thousand.
Upon seeing the two "gods of wealth" arrive, Chen Weiqiang happily brought out all the best items he had hidden away in the shop.
There are several fishing rods worth tens of thousands of yuan, as well as all kinds of ridiculously expensive fishing gear.
The two men came today to buy fishing gear. At Chen Weiqiang's strong recommendation, the two handsome men each bought a fishing rod worth 10,000 yuan.
When Chen Zhiyao heard that a fishing rod cost 10,000 yuan, she looked at the two men as if they were easy prey.
However, the two of them didn't think there was anything wrong with the 10,000 yuan fishing rod; they also had more expensive fishing rods on hand.
They don't start their own businesses; they have enough money at home to squander for several lifetimes.
In addition to fishing rods, the two also bought several large boxes of bait for groundbaiting.
When it came time to pay, neither of them blinked, exuding an aura of wealth and power.
Knowing that the two men would also be attending the auction later, Chen Zhiyao was even happier and served them a cup of hot tea.
Then two more bosses arrived to participate in the auction.
However, just as the event was about to begin, the last guest sent a message saying that something had come up and he couldn't make it.
Although Chen Zhiyao was somewhat disappointed, there was nothing she could do since the other person had other commitments and couldn't come, and the auction proceeded as scheduled.
The price of these Melaleuca pearls is not high. They are sold through an open bidding process, with a base price set and then everyone bidding against each other, with the highest bidder winning.
The starting price for the two Melo beads was agreed upon at home yesterday: the irregular one will start at 2,000 yuan, and the round one at 8,000 yuan.
The first item auctioned was an irregularly shaped Melo bead of slightly lower quality.
The starting price was 2,000 yuan. After waiting for a long time, someone finally raised their paddle and bought it at the starting price of 2,000 yuan.
Although it was only the base price, Chen Zhiyao was still very satisfied. This one small bead was almost equivalent to her daily earnings from beachcombing.
When the second round Melo beads were taken out, everyone paid much more attention, and their faces became more serious.
"Melaleuca No. 2 has a starting price of 8,000 yuan. The auction is now officially starting."
As soon as Chen Weiqiang finished speaking, Li, the handsome guy who had just bought fishing gear, immediately raised the sign in his hand:
"8500 yuan"
Then a kind-looking middle-aged man also raised his sign:
"9000 yuan"
After a while, a dark-skinned man, who looked like a fisherman, also spoke up:
"9500 yuan"
Just as the handsome guy Li was about to raise his hand again, the guy who came with him tugged at his sleeve and whispered:
"These beads aren't that pretty, and they're not worth 10,000 yuan, are they? You'd be better off buying a fishing rod instead."
Although this handsome guy comes from a wealthy family, the thrifty nature of people from Guangdong is ingrained in his bones.
“Your sister-in-law likes this stuff, so I bought it to please her.”
He then raised the sign in his hand again, "10,000 yuan."
There were people bidding against the price all along, but when the price reached 10,000 yuan, everyone fell silent.
"10,000 yuan for the first time."
"10,000 yuan for the second time."
"10,000 yuan for the third time."
"make a deal."
The entire auction ended in less than 10 minutes.
However, she was quite satisfied with the total price of 12,000 yuan, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a big smile.
This money is perfect for buying two big gold bracelets; Grandma and Mom will definitely love them.
With the remaining money, I'll buy two sets of clothes for Grandpa and Dad.
The rating is finally out! Although it's only 7 points, it's pretty good for a new book.
