Gao Qiangqi spoke softly to his helper and even walked to a corner of the carriage.
But the carriage was only so big. After noticing this, Wu An walked over to the box that the helper had brought out and squatted down to check the blue crabs.
Ah Qing also came over: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Wu An said, "Take a look, aren't all these blue crabs dead?"
Ah Qing picked up a blue crab, fiddled with it for a bit, nodded and said, "It is indeed dead, but it hasn't been dead for long, so it's still quite fresh."
These mud crabs have just died, so they look almost the same as if they were still alive. This is because many mud crabs will feign death, and Ah Qing has a little trick to tell the difference, so he can tell them apart very easily.
Wu An nodded, thinking to himself that it must be fresh; at most, it wouldn't have been dead for more than twelve hours.
But once someone is dead, they are dead.
The price of dead crabs is definitely not as high as that of live crabs, but it seems that Gao Qiangqi intends to ignore these dead crabs and buy them at the normal price.
Ah Qing lowered her voice and said, "It seems that Boss Gao hasn't noticed."
"..." Wu An didn't say anything. If they hadn't noticed, would they have picked out a whole box of them?
As he watched the boxes of crabs being weighed, when they reached the box of dead crabs, Wu An called out, "Wait."
Gao Qiangqi turned around: "A'an, what's wrong?"
Wu An said, "Boss Gao, I'm sorry."
"I'm not selling this box of crabs."
Gao Qiangqi was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't suffer any losses."
“These sell for a good price at my stall.”
Wu An shook his head and said, "That would only cause you trouble. Other buyers would definitely not want it, and even if they did, they would drive the price down very low."
"I'll keep these for myself."
"Don't make us live by the sea; we haven't even had the chance to eat such delicious blue crabs many times."
"Let's take this opportunity to have a good meal with him."
Gao Qiangqi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Friends, you know.
Mutual understanding and mutual support are essential; try not to cause trouble for each other.
Wu An laughed along.
Everything is understood without words.
Ah Jin gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother An, you're amazing. I'm impressed. Otherwise, you could be friends with my boss, and I would only be his underling."
"With your level of understanding, I have a lot to learn from you."
The other helpers nodded in agreement, thinking that the young man was quite nice, honest, and most importantly, knew how to get along with people.
Wu An said, "It's better to be straightforward among friends."
Logically speaking, since he and Gao Qiangqi had business dealings, it wasn't really appropriate for them to be friends. But since they were friends, they had to keep clear accounts.
Even close brothers need to keep clear accounts. If friends aren't clear about money matters, then sooner or later, sordid things will inevitably arise.
If Gao Qiangqi wants to suffer this loss and become his friend, then he really can't let Gao Qiangqi suffer this loss.
This can be considered a response.
This guy is definitely going to befriend me.
After settling the accounts, Gao Qiangqi asked A Jin to bring his wallet.
He took out six stacks of money, gave out five bundles first, and then counted out 6,000 yuan.
Wu An didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take the money.
He didn't count.
Gao Qiangqi patted him on the shoulder but didn't say much.
Sometimes, when you're making friends and dating, you hit it off and feel like you've known each other forever.
Too much money.
I could barely hold it in my hands.
Wu An was a little embarrassed, but to be honest, he was overjoyed. He had never earned so much money in one go in both of his lives.
Gao Qiangqi saw Wu An drop a wad of cash, took out several bundles of money from his wallet and handed them to A Jin, then handed over the wallet and said, "Keep it here."
Wu An hesitated: "This wallet must be expensive."
Gao Qiangqi said, "It's worthless. I've bought quite a few, and this one is still new."
Upon hearing this, Wu An no longer held back his politeness.
Aqing took the bag, tucked it under her arm, and said, "Brother, everyone says it's comfortable to tuck it like this, but it feels uncomfortable to me."
Wu An laughed and said, "Because there's a lot of money inside."
Everyone burst into laughter.
As everyone got out of the carriage, Gao Qiangqi said, "A'an, your luck is simply unbeatable. I've never seen anyone sell so many wild blue crabs at once."
"The typhoon just passed, and with the high tide, I wish you continued success in your harvest, bro."
"Contact me anytime."
Wu An asked, "Are you still out of stock?"
"Of course." Gao Qiangqi took out cigarettes and offered them to others as he spoke. "Brother, I'm in the middle of seizing market share. The more good stuff the better. If you have any, I'll buy it."
"I won't lie to you, I'm also communicating with the farm."
"But since they are farmed products, there is no problem with long-term supply, but if I want to stand out, I really have to rely on these wild seafood."
Wu An suddenly realized.
It sounds simple, but it will definitely be fraught with difficulties in practice. Even if he were reborn and such an opportunity were presented to him, he would not be able to seize it.
He's a cheat code, but he's not a god.
Having more than a decade of experience doesn't mean you can freely venture into industries you don't understand.
Some professions are very complex and dangerous; if you enter them rashly, you can easily drown.
Ah Qing interjected, "Boss Gao, you can go to the village to collect them. The villagers are sure to find some good stuff today."
Upon hearing this, Wu An frowned slightly.
Ah Qing's words were not quite appropriate.
If Gao Qiangqi goes to the village to collect goods, that would be overstepping his bounds and stealing someone else's livelihood. Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents; this is not just a saying.
Gao Qiangqi shook his head and said, "No."
“Every industry has its unspoken rules, so it’s not appropriate for us to source goods from our competitors’ territories.”
“If Ah An calls me, then I have no problem picking up the goods. Besides, since I’m picking up the goods on the way, no one can find fault with me.”
Wu An smiled.
It was an unexpected stroke of luck that led to this unexpected success.
He never expected that picking up the goods halfway through would bring so many benefits.
Ah Jin laughed and said, "When my boss takes over these small vendors, the whole town will be his territory, and then we won't have to go through all this trouble."
Aqing exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, really? That's amazing!"
Gao Qiangqi smiled and said, "Okay, let's leave it at that. It's windy and rainy, so let's hurry back."
"Come to town another day, my treat, let's have a good drink together."
Wu An nodded, got on the motorcycle tricycle, and A Qing also jumped into the carriage.
Gao Qiangqi returned to the car and waved to them.
The truck started.
Wu An then started the car, turned it around, and headed back to the village.
As soon as they entered the village, they saw even the old men and women heading towards the beach. Aqing greeted them, saying, "Grandma, why are you going to the beach with your cane?"
The old woman was trembling, but her speech was still fluent. She said that there was so much seafood on the beach that she couldn't pick it all up. She couldn't stay idle after hearing that.
Aqing looked at Wu An: "Brother, what about us?"
Wu An said, "Come home with me first."
"After the profits are split, go home and let Aunt Juan see for herself."
"Then we'll meet up at the old house."
Aqing naturally had no objections. When they arrived at the door, they bumped into Wu Yingwei, who was riding back from outside. The old man frowned when he saw the two of them riding back from outside and said, "Why are you riding your bike outside in this weather?"
"Went off fooling around again?"
"Where are your brother and sister-in-law? Why are their phones off when I call them?"
Wu An shook his head: "I'm not messing around."
"My brother and sister-in-law should be home."
Aqing jumped out of the car and quickly went to open the door.
