He contacted Gao Qiangqi directly.
Gao Qiangqi is in this business; he could probably eat all these blue crabs directly.
If that doesn't work, ask Gao Qiangqi to help make contact.
Anyway, he doesn't plan to sell at the dock.
Not long after, Gao Qiangqi answered the phone and greeted, "Good morning, An."
"Good morning, Mr. Gao," Wu An replied, adding, "I don't come here unless I have a reason. Today I went beachcombing."
Boss Gao's voice rose several octaves: "It's a typhoon day today!"
"You're still going to go beachcombing?"
"Would you rather have money than your life?"
Wu An smiled and said, "I'm talking to you on the phone right now. I'm back. I just got lucky and caught some blue crabs."
"You little rascal..." Boss Gao didn't say anything more "unpleasant" for fear of going too far, and said, "I'll take the blue crabs."
"Depending on the size, it can be divided into three sizes: less than one jin, between one and two jin, and more than two jin."
How many do you have?
After hearing the price, Wu An thought it was reasonable, at least much higher than Lao Xie's price, and said, "It's probably three or four hundred catties."
"Oh, three or four hundred... wait, how much did you say?" Gao Qiangqi's voice rose several octaves again: "Three or four hundred jin?"
"Yes, I don't have a scale here either, but it should be about right." Seeing his strong reaction, Wu An couldn't help but feel uneasy and tentatively asked, "Boss Gao, you should be able to eat it, right?"
Gao Qiangqi laughed heartily: "Yes, of course it can."
"How did you manage to catch so many crabs? Did you accidentally disturb a crab burrow?"
Wu An said, "That's about it. I've practically taken over the entire beach area."
"It's probably because only we go beachcombing during typhoon days."
"No one is competing for it, no one is grabbing it."
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold.
“I know that, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.” Gao Qiangqi laughed heartily, but suddenly his laughter stopped abruptly: “With this typhoon, I can’t receive the goods.”
Wu An said, "The crab is quite plump; it won't die anytime soon."
"This typhoon should pass in about a day."
"It won't make a difference."
“Ah An, you make it sound so easy.” Gao Qiangqi slapped his thigh on the other end of the line: “It would have been better if you hadn’t told me. Now that I know, I can’t get the goods in time. It’s like a beautiful woman is posing seductively in front of me, even taking off her clothes, but I’m told I can only look.”
"Tell me, who could stand this?"
"Uh..." Wu An was both amused and exasperated: "It was my oversight."
“How can I blame you? You contacted me so early, which means you trust me. I’m overjoyed.” Gao Qiangqi paused and said, “Then that’s settled. Once the wind calms down and we can set off, I’ll arrange for a vehicle to pick up the goods immediately.”
Wu An's eyes flashed, and he said, "How about this, you come to pick up the goods, and I'll deliver them. We'll meet up halfway."
"I've put it in a snakeskin bag, but it might cause problems if it's left for too long. I'd better hand it over to you as soon as possible."
Gao Qiangqi didn't think much of it and happily agreed.
Hang up the phone.
Gao Qiangqi couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth in the room, watching the raging wind and rain outside, feeling anxious but helpless. His younger brother, A Jin, asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Gao Qiangqi briefly explained the situation, and A Jin exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible!"
"Three or four hundred catties of mud crabs?"
"Could he have stolen from the farm?"
Gao Qiangqi turned around, his eyes sharp, and said, "Shut up!"
Do you think everyone else is a fool?
“We can tell the difference between farmed and wild animals at a glance.”
Ah Jin quickly smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes, Brother An doesn't seem like that kind of person."
...
Seeing Wu An put down his phone, Wu Ping asked, "Not selling at the dock?"
Wu An nodded and said, "The prices offered by the dock vendors aren't high, so it's better to go to town."
Actually, it would be better to expand our channels within the county, but thinking about it, there's no need. Rather than racking our brains to expand our channels and risk being scammed, it's better to wait for Gao Qiangqi to grow bigger and stronger.
In the future, Gao Qiangqi's business will grow very large. He only needs to cling to this powerful figure to ride the wave of success.
actually.
There were other reasons why he didn't consider selling to Lao Xie. First of all, there was his father, who was in charge of the dock and even stopped the villagers from going to the beach in the afternoon.
result.
They secretly went to the beach and caught so many blue crabs, making a lot of money. Some people inevitably gossiped about their father, saying that he was abusing his power for personal gain.
Of course, these might just be his own thoughts, or maybe he's overthinking it.
To put it another way, if the villagers found out, they would definitely be envious and resentful. It would be best to keep a low profile and make money quietly.
He was riding his bike to deliver goods, and the reason he bumped into Gao Qiangqi on the way was also because of this consideration.
If Gao Qiangqi drove his truck into the village, some villagers would definitely follow him out of curiosity to see what was going on, and then his secret beachcombing would definitely be exposed.
Wu Ping nodded and didn't say anything more.
He originally wanted to ask what the price was, but he felt it wouldn't be good to be in such a hurry, so he held back.
Mei Yueqin was also curious about the price, but Wu An didn't say, and she didn't ask.
Wu An kept yawning; he was very sleepy.
He stared blankly at the doors and windows.
There's nothing we can do now but wait.
Suddenly, the power went out.
Power outages during strong winds are perfectly normal.
It's estimated that even after the typhoon passes, the power may not be restored on time.
Wu An sighed and closed the game he had just opened.
I don't dare use my phone; I need to conserve the battery.
I threw my phone on the table.
He had nothing to do.
When I'm busy, I don't feel anything, but when I suddenly have free time, I want to smoke a cigarette. It's not that I'm craving a cigarette, it's just that I'm too bored.
He picked up a cigarette from the table, put it in his mouth but didn't light it.
Mei Yueqin nudged him and said, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy. I'm afraid your neck can't take it from nodding your head back and forth."
"I'll keep an eye on this side."
"Aping, why don't you go and get some sleep too?"
Wu An rubbed his neck. Had he just fallen asleep?
Thankfully, the bed was an old-fashioned one, big enough that three people could sleep sideways.
...
"Erzi, wake up, wake up, your phone is ringing."
Hearing his sister-in-law Mei Yueqin calling him, Wu An groggily opened his eyes, rubbed them, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what time is it?"
Mei Yueqin said, "It's 2 p.m.
Having slept for six hours, Wu An took a deep breath and tried to sit up, but couldn't. After this nap, his whole body felt even more sore than when he had just rested in the morning.
My back feels like it's going to break.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was Gao Qiangqi calling. Just as he was about to call back, Gao Qiangqi called again. He quickly answered, "Ah An, the typhoon is over."
"I'll drive there right away."
Send me your location.
Wu An responded, estimated the distance, and found a Mazu temple halfway there, so they agreed to meet there.
