216: Fisherman's connections

Two minutes later, Zhang Jun called back.

"Yang Qi, put the phone on speaker so Auntie can hear and be at ease," Zhang Jun said straightforwardly.

"Alright, Brother Jun, it's on speaker, go ahead and speak," Yang Qi said.

"Auntie, I've handled the matter you entrusted to me. Tell them to go to the branch office tomorrow morning to sign the contract. As long as the quality is up to standard, there are three more branch offices in the second half of the year, and they will all be given to him to do."

Zhang Jun dropped another bombshell.

"Oh, Auntie, thank you, A-Jun," Zheng Jin said happily. She felt honored to be able to help Zhang Li and her friends.

Anyway, for office supply purchases like this, as long as the goods are of good quality, buying from anyone is buying.

"What are you saying? What's with the thanks? Why are you being so polite with me? We're family, no need for formalities. Now, I'll talk a few more words with Yang Qi."

"So, Yang Qi, what time are you coming to the The City tomorrow?" Zhang Jun asked.

Yang Qi was a bit surprised and asked, "Why am I going to the The City tomorrow? I just got back this afternoon."

"Damn it, you brat, have you forgotten about our Tuna auction tomorrow?" Zhang Jun's voice rose considerably as he questioned him.

"Hehehe, I actually did forget. How about you go alone?" Yang Qi said, a little embarrassed.

"Your catch is worth at least five million, and you actually forgot, and you want me to go alone? I'm speechless."

Zhang Jun almost didn't want to talk anymore.

"But, tomorrow morning I'm planning to take my Ma and my Great Aunt and them out to sea to play! We already agreed," Yang Qi explained.

"The auction starts at 7 PM tomorrow. Can you make it, or tomorrow you can ask Bai Xue to pilot the boat and take Auntie and them out to play?" Zhang Jun suggested to Yang Qi.

"7 PM tomorrow! I should be able to make it. I'll bring the fishing boat back to the The City pier tomorrow afternoon, and you can pick me up there for the auction."

Yang Qi felt that since he had just invited his Ma's friends out to sea that afternoon, and now they had all arrived, it would be a bit inappropriate for him not to go.

Fortunately, they had agreed that afternoon to only play for one day, leaving early and returning early, so he should be able to make it on time.

"Alright! I'll pick you up at the pier at 6:30 PM tomorrow. You can bring Bai Xue with you to the auction. I'm hanging up, I don't want to talk to you anymore," Zhang Jun said, hanging up the phone in a hurry.

"Xiao Qi, how about we don't go tomorrow? We can reschedule for next time," Zhang Li said.

Hearing that Yang Qi had a business deal worth four or five million at the auction, she felt bad about delaying him.

"Great Aunt, it's fine, I can make it back by 7 PM tomorrow. I'm very sorry, but I have an urgent matter this time, so we'll only play for one day. Next time we have a chance, we'll play for a few more days," Yang Qi said, a little embarrassed.

"Oh my! You've already helped us so much, and you're still saying that. Wouldn't that make us feel ashamed?"

"Yes! Xiao Qi, we really have to thank you!"

Several people expressed their gratitude.

"Alright, alright! You don't need to thank him anymore. He has connections, so isn't it what he should do to help you? Let's not talk about this anymore."

Mother Yang and Zheng Jin gestured for everyone to stop the topic.

After reconfirming that there was enough time to make it to the auction, Ma finally decided that tomorrow's plan would remain the same, but Yang Qi and Bai Xue should bring a set of more formal clothes to change into on the boat.

They would go directly from the The City pier to the auction tomorrow afternoon.

"How about we go check the boat now to see if anything is missing? While it's still early, we can buy some to supplement it," Ma suggested.

"Yes! Let's go check it out first! I'll just fill up the gas," Yang Qi said.

"Uncle's Wife, you drive my Ma, and I'll ride the tricycle."

Yang Qi's sudden address of "Uncle's Wife" made Chen Lanxin's face flush, but she quickly recovered.

Ma, Zheng Jin, and Zhang Li and the others arrived at the entrance, pointing to the three houses next to them and saying that those were the three houses they had just been talking about.

Yang Qi found it a bit amusing, as it had a touch of Versailles effect.

Perhaps Ma also wanted to show that she had some strength and could match their social standing.

It's not just about matching family backgrounds in marriage; it's the same in making friends.

Of course, there are exceptions, but this refers to the general public.

Wang Xudong and the others drove their cars, slowly following Chen Lanxin, discussing in the car:

"I really didn't expect it! This fishing family is so powerful; they easily helped us a great deal."

"Yes! Da Li has done a great service this time!"

"I also didn't expect that buying fish could lead to finding such a capable younger sister."

"Besides two villas, their family also seems to have two boats. The large boat is out at sea; the one at home is a small boat."

"That must be worth hundreds of thousands! Truly impressive!"

"We'll have to thank them properly later. As long as we connect with Shenglong Group, we won't have to worry about business in the future," Wang Xudong said with emotion.

"That's true, but when you do business with Shenglong Group, you must guarantee quality and not engage in any shady dealings. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite," Zhang Li warned her husband.

"I've realized that my younger sister is a person who values loyalty. You must protect her reputation! Don't mess around!"

"As long as you don't make things difficult for her. With their relationship with Shenglong Group, your business should be abundant in the future."

"Understood, don't worry, we will seize this opportunity," Li Lifeng said from the side.

As they spoke, Chen Lanxin drove into the training center and headed straight to the pier.

When Zhang Li and the other four got out of the car, they found that none of the boats docked at the pier were what they considered "small boats."

"Younger sister, where is your family's small boat?" Zhang Li asked curiously. She was actually quite similar to Zheng Jin in personality, both being straightforward.

"There, that one!" Zheng Jin said, pointing to setting sail.

"Ah!"

The four looked at each other, one looking at the other.

"Holy cow, is this what you call a small boat? This is completely outrageous."

"Your family calls this twenty-meter yacht a small boat?" Zhang Li exclaimed.

Only someone as straightforward as her would say such a thing, and it wouldn't make anyone feel uncomfortable.

"Great Aunt, this is a fishing boat, not a yacht. Yachts usually cost tens of millions! We can't afford that," Bai Xue explained to Zhang Li with a smile.

"Oh, I see! Then how much does this fishing boat cost?" Zhang Li asked again.

"We bought it through a special channel, so it was relatively cheap. Normally, it would probably be between 4 million and 5 million," Bai Xue said somewhat vaguely.

"Oh! Very impressive, this fishing boat is truly beautiful." Zhang Li was also a smart person and immediately changed the subject.
