He Xinran was a little dizzy when she went out. It was the first time that Yu Shengnan called her wife. She couldn't imagine how valuable the fish was that made Yu Shengnan lose her composure.
"Boss Lu, Shengnan found a golden sturgeon weighing over 100 kilograms today..."
"What did you say, a golden-lined sturgeon, still weighing over a hundred pounds?"
"Yes, that's right, Shengnan said that!"
"Boss He, tell him to bring the fish to our Oriental Seafood City right away. No, I'll report this to Boss Yao and have him put it directly in the cold storage. I'll make all the arrangements later."
Chef Lu took out his phone and reported directly to Yao Meifang, "It was a golden sturgeon, a golden sturgeon weighing more than 100 kilograms."
Of course Lu Tongwei knew about this fish, but it was too big, so it was not just a dish to be served on the table. It could even serve as free advertising for the Oriental Group.
"Golden sturgeon? What kind of fish?" Yao Meifang didn't remember the name of the golden sturgeon at first, but when Lu Tongwei mentioned fish maw, she immediately remembered it. She had also participated in an auction before, where a golden sturgeon was sold at a high price of 4.75 million.
"This guy that Xinran has his eyes on is quite capable." After hanging up the phone, Yao Meifang's usually cold face actually showed a rare smile.
The assistants nearby looked out the window and thought, it’s raining today and the sun hasn’t risen from the west yet!
"Boss Ma, we've come across something good here in the East. It wasn't Mrs. Ma's body before..."
One move can affect the whole body. Yu Shengnan didn't expect that after he made the call, Yao Meifang would become his worker.
"Xinran, you're here? Why are you here so soon? There's no need to be so anxious!"
"Are you still anxious? Can't I tell you're about to explode with joy? Hurry up, get the fish into the car. Damn it, your fish is too big to fit in the trunk. I should have asked Lu Tongwei to call a truck earlier."
He Xinran looked at the big fish on the ground. She picked up the phone, meaning to call a truck.
"No, no, it's raining. I'll just drive my tricycle over there. It's not far anyway."
He Xinran rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why didn't you just tell me to drive the tricycle over there? Wouldn't it be fine if you just pulled it there yourself?"
She also understood that the old man was simply too excited to contain himself and wanted to share it with her.
In this way, Yu Shengnan drove a second-hand electric tricycle in front, pulling the valuable golden sturgeon, and He Xinran followed behind in a Cadillac.
It would take only a few minutes for the Cadillac to run at full speed for the eleven kilometers from Nanjiao Village to Oriental Seafood City. However, it was raining and the ground was a bit slippery, so Yu Shengnan didn't dare to speed up and the three-wheeled vehicle moved forward slowly.
After 11 kilometers and a full 45 minutes, the tricycle finally stopped at the back door of Oriental Seafood City.
If He Xinran's Cadillac waiter and security guard hadn't known her, Yu Shengnan would have had a hard time getting through the gate with all three of her cars.
"Mr. Yu, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a while. Come, hurry up and send the fish to the cold storage. Be careful not to bump into anything," Lu Tongwei greeted him enthusiastically.
"Mr. Yu?" Yu Shengnan pointed at himself with his index finger. He was a little unsure how he became Mr. Yu. He also didn't know why the fish had to be put into the cold storage before they were sold. Hadn't he been paid yet?
"Shengnan, you have to get used to it. You will be Mr. Yu in the future. If you want to adapt to the change in your net worth, put the fish in the cold storage to keep it fresh. Your fish is too valuable, so we have to auction it. It will start when the guests gather." Lu Tongwei was not shy and explained to him directly.
Even if he is not now, he will be once the fish is sold.
Yu Shengnan was a little uncomfortable at first, but after thinking about it, she realized that it was just a name. If she really couldn't help but imagine these people as patients, then there would be nothing unnatural about it.
"Xinran, Xiaoyu is here. You should go inside and rest for a while," Yao Meifang greeted them when she saw them come in.
"Sister Meifang, why are you here?" He Xinran and Yu Shengnan were both incredulous. Yao Meifang actually had to go to the door to receive guests?
"Xiao Yu's fish has quite a bit of appeal. I've invited a few important people to come over. Honestly, if it weren't for the group's influence, I'd want to keep the fish for myself."
As they were talking, someone else came to the door. He Xinran and Yu Shengnan tactfully followed the waiter's instructions and walked to the rest area.
As for whether something would happen if the fish was not around, Yu Shengnan was not worried at all. If it was just Lu Tongwei, he might still have concerns, but since Yao Meifang was here, he could really rest assured.
Xinran said that it was not an exaggeration to say that Sister Meifang was her biological sister. They grew up in an orphanage, depended on each other, and were both her sister and mother. What was there to worry about?
Yu Shengnan had been running with the fish and was now tired. Seeing snacks, fruits, tea and drinks in the rest area, he started eating right away.
He Xinran watched him eat and knew that he had worked hard, so he wrapped peanuts for him and gave him the peanut kernels to eat.
In this way, time passed little by little. About three hours had passed and it was already evening. Usually at this time, Oriental Seafood City was packed, but today, not a single customer was allowed into the back hall on the first floor where they were.
"Mr. Ma from Tengxu Group is here?"
"Here he is, the one sitting in the back, the one next to him is the Bronze King."
"The chairman of Heli Group is here too!"
"Well, look, Mr. Cao from Fuyao Group is here too!"
…
The waitress was standing not far away, and Yu Shengnan and He Xinran could hear them whispering to each other. Everyone knew that Mr. He was a good person, so they were not afraid of He Xinran.
Looking at the bosses coming in one by one, Yu Shengnan was a little dazed. Many of these bosses were big bosses that he had seen on TV, but in fact he didn't know them at all.
"Welcome all the bosses to our Oriental Seafood City. To be honest, I didn't expect that we would get together in this way today. This fish is our lucky catch."
"Experts have conducted a comprehensive inspection of the fish. It is 124 centimeters long and weighed 117 kilograms. It was preserved within an hour of its death. It can be said that even if you consider the fish bladder alone, the fish itself is worth savoring."
"Everyone knows the price of golden sturgeon maw. Over ten years ago, a pound of maw was already one million Hong Kong dollars. This fish weighs 117 pounds. Based on the ratio of 10 pounds of meat to 1 pound of maw, I estimate it weighs over 10 pounds. Interested parties can place an offer now!"
Lu Tongwei was quite experienced in hosting auctions, and he had experience in hosting small auctions, but this was his first time hosting such a large number of bigwigs.
But he was the type who got more excited the bigger the occasion, and he managed to hold up the stage.
Lu Tongwei just played a little trick. He didn't give a reserve price and let everyone bid whatever they wanted.
"Okay, Mr. Wang bids five million." Each auctioneer has a set of number plates, which can be seen by holding them up in front. He Xinran also has one in his hand. As for Yu Shengnan... uh, there is no number plate prepared for him.
"Okay! Dong Zong offers eight million, eight million per session."
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I'm offering 10 million. This is my first time. Is there a higher price? Golden croaker fish maw is the world's top-quality fish maw..."
Yu Shengnan felt a little dizzy. He must have heard it right. It was ten million. Although the price had not been determined yet, he was already a multi-millionaire!
