151: Yunmengze Company came to us
Hearing the staff member's count, Chen Xiangbei was the first to speak, "170 catties is 30,600 yuan, I'll round it down to 30,000 yuan for you."
"Then thank you, Boss!" the beautiful woman said with a radiant smile, seemingly very satisfied with Xiangbei's reciprocal gesture.
The beautiful woman took out her phone and scanned him 50,000 yuan, then had the staff members lift the two boxes of fish onto the vehicle for loading.
The onlookers all sighed with emotion:
"I didn't expect the Giant Grouper to be so valuable. In just a moment, this Boss sold 50,000 yuan worth!"
"Who says so? This money is too easy to make. Maybe I should just tell my husband to go fishing too."
"Oh, come on. Look at his large yacht. Does your family have that kind of equipment? That's for rich people."
...
Before long, the staff members brought the two boxes back and returned them to Chen Xiangbei.
The beautiful woman pointed at the box that hadn't been opened, asking somewhat curiously, "Isn't there fish in this box? Aren't you planning to sell it?"
Chen Xiangbei grinned and stared at her for a while, then said, "May I ask what your procurement budget is for this time?"
The beautiful woman was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "About 100,000 yuan. Could the value of the fish in this box exceed 50,000 yuan?"
Chen Xiangbei smiled mysteriously and slowly said, "I suggest you apply to your superiors, because the fish in this box is extraordinary!"
"Ah? What kind of fish? Isn't it a Grouper?"
Chen Xiangbei no longer kept her in suspense and directly opened the lid of the fish box.
The onlookers craned their necks, curious to see clearly what fish was inside.
However, when they saw the fish in the box, they all widened their eyes and let out exclamations of surprise!
"Holy cow~"
"Isn't this the ancestor of that large Grouper just now? How is it so big!"
"It's truly like a small knife scratching the butt – an eye-opener!"
"Maybe it has already gained sentience, haha."
"Can a human really catch something like this? Two of me combined aren't as big as it!"
Everyone's reaction was very strong. Even the manager of Haiyun Restaurant, who often came out for procurement, was stunned and didn't know what to say!
Chen Xiangbei waved his hand in front of her eyes. After she came back to her senses, he said, "How about this fish? Can you take it?"
"Yes... yes... yes, definitely! Please wait a moment while I make a call."
After speaking, she hurriedly ran out from the crowd and called her superior, likely to apply for the procurement funds.
Chen Xiangbei waited for her right there. The onlookers were still muttering non-stop, some even reaching out to touch it, but he didn't mind. After all, seeing such a giant creature, it was hard for anyone to resist their inner curiosity.
He might as well let everyone touch it to their heart's content, and at the same time, make himself known here. Selling fish again in the future would definitely be easier.
Just as everyone was having fun watching, two minivan-type vehicles drove in from outside the Fishermen's Wharf. The vehicles stopped directly at the intersection where the wharf berth protruded, blocking the exit from this area.
The car doors were pulled open, and over a dozen burly men in black clothes, holding clubs and covered in tattoos, got out.
They walked menacingly towards where Chen Xiangbei was. The onlookers were frightened by their fierce appearance and retreated from both sides. These men didn't pay them any attention either.
By the time they reached Chen Xiangbei, none of the crowd who had just been gathered there remained. Only he stood there alone, arms crossed.
The leader among the group of burly men was a large Bald Head with a broken eyebrow, about 1.8 meters tall, covered in muscle, with two large tattooed sleeves, looking very difficult to deal with.
However, in Chen Xiangbei's eyes, he was just a man with extremely weak kidneys, looking like an old pervert who had indulged excessively without restraint.
The Bald Head walked up to Chen Xiangbei, kicked an empty fish box in front of him to the ground, and then spoke to Chen Xiangbei with arrogant swagger.
"You little punk, who gave you the right to set up a stall and sell fish here? Do you know who covers this place?"
"Heh heh, who gave you the right to say you can't set up a stall and sell fish here? There's no clear rule at this Fishermen's Wharf prohibiting selling fish, is there? Where did you come from, daring to meddle in everyone's business?" Chen Xiangbei said indifferently.
"Yo-ho~ Xiao Gang said you were tough, but I didn't expect you to be this tough. I've never seen anyone as tough as you in my life..."
"Slap!"
Before the Bald Head finished speaking, with a crisp sound, he felt his body lighten, and he flew backward. In the air, he seemed to see his subordinates' surprised expressions.
"Bang!"
A dull thud sounded, and everyone turned around to find their boss already lying on the ground, groaning continuously.
Seeing this scene, the subordinates felt their minds go blank. They didn't understand what was happening. How did their boss suddenly fly away like that!
The Bald Head, while groaning, cursed, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and go! Get him!"
Hearing their boss's angry roar, the subordinates finally realized that their boss had been slapped away by the person in front of them. So, they all raised the clubs in their hands and charged towards Chen Xiangbei.
Chen Xiangbei silently reached his hand into the fish box and muttered:
"Club, come!"
"Swish~"
When he raised his hand, he saw that he was holding a piece of rebar as thick as a baseball bat.
Holding the rebar, Chen Xiangbei performed a few stylish flourishes, as if he had practiced stick techniques thousands of times. He wielded it as easily as an extension of his arm, making it a pleasure to watch.
As the leading subordinate charged forward, Chen Xiangbei's rebar targeted the hand with which these young men held their clubs.
"Bang bang crack~"
Only the sounds were heard, but the person was not seen.
Chen Xiangbei weaved through the crowd with astonishing speed and agility. With every sound, a club would fall to the ground, but the people themselves seemed unharmed.
In less than a minute, over a dozen young men holding clubs stood frozen in place, looking at the clubs that had fallen to the ground, at a loss.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, Chen Xiangbei snapped his fingers, and then the dozen or so people simultaneously let out painful wails.
"Ow, my hand, my hand is numb!"
"Me too, my hand, it hurts so much!"
At this moment, the Bald Head, who had been lying on the ground in the distance, had quietly gotten up and was tiptoeing, trying to leave this place, but he was discovered by Chen Xiangbei.
"Hey, Old Baldy," Chen Xiangbei mocked, "Even if your kidneys are weak, you don't have to walk that fast, do you? Could it be you're used to being a quick finisher?"
The Bald Head stopped upon hearing the sound, mainly because he had no choice but to stop. Just now, he had personally witnessed Chen Xiangbei's speed. Although he was confident, he wasn't confident enough to compete with Chen Xiangbei in speed.
There was nothing he could do but turn back and think of a way to deal with the situation.
Suddenly, he thought of a method that he believed was safe and effective. So, he turned around and said to Chen Xiangbei.
