152: Make a feud
"Brother, although I don't know who you are or why you're so strong, I need to tell you, I have people above me. I'm just the captain of this small team. You'd better let me go, or you won't be able to handle the consequences."
"Oh ho, are you blind? Can't you see reality even now?"
"Oh? Who do you have above you? Tell me, I love hearing stories!"
Chen Xiangbei felt that these people involved in shady business had problems with their brains; they could even say such boring threats.
The Bald Head braced himself and said, "I'm warning you, the people above me have connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. Messing with you would be a simple matter."
Chen Xiangbei stopped wasting words with him and delivered a flying kick.
Bang~
His body collided with the minivan, emitting a dull thud. The Bald Head clutched his stomach, his face flushed with pain, unable to make a sound even though he wanted to cry out.
The minivan, on the other hand, was dented by the impact, and the car door was likely unusable.
Chen Xiangbei turned to the group of young men and said, "Go back and tell your boss that if he wants trouble, I'll be happy to oblige. But if you dare disturb my fish selling again, I'll break a leg every time I see you. Now get lost!"
The subordinates who had been badly beaten by the rebar quickly scrambled up, stumbled over to the Bald Head, opened the car door, helped him in, and quickly started the car and sped away.
After the two cars left, Chen Xiangbei returned to his stall, picked up the fish box that had been kicked over, and then looked into the distance.
The onlookers had not left the Fishermen's Wharf. Instead, they watched Chen Xiangbei fighting with the young men from a distance. They all thought Chen Xiangbei would be at a disadvantage and were ready to report the incident at any moment.
Unexpectedly, the turnaround was astonishing. Chen Xiangbei took on over a dozen people and easily dealt with them, beating his opponents until they had no power to resist.
Seeing that Chen Xiangbei hadn't left, everyone rushed to his stall and started talking excitedly.
"Mr., your kung fu is amazing! So many people were no match for you."
"Yeah, are you a martial artist? Or a martial arts monk who returned to secular life?"
"We were all about to report it, worried you'd be bullied. We didn't expect those guys to be the ones getting bullied."
"Mr., you need to be careful. Those people have been acting like tyrants in this area for years. They really have people above them and are involved in both legal and illegal circles. Be wary of their retaliation."
Facing everyone's surprise and warnings, Chen Xiangbei responded with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, everyone. I don't stir up trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. I believe justice will be on my side."
Just then, the manager of Haiyun Restaurant returned with her staff. She quickly asked.
"Are you okay? Those people are very powerful. They're involved in almost all the fish markets in Linhai City, and many people have suffered because of them. You really need to be careful."
"I'm fine, I can handle it. How was your discussion? Can you take this Giant Grouper?"
"No problem, we'll take it. Let's weigh it first, and then we can discuss the price!"
"Alright, I'll do it."
Chen Xiangbei grabbed the fish box with both hands, carefully poured out the water inside, and then lifted it onto the scale.
The moment it was placed on the scale, the numbers displaying the weight in kilograms kept climbing, making everyone's hearts pound.
Finally, the number settled at the weight of 130.4.
Chen Xiangbei said to the beautiful woman, "Without the weight of the box, it's roughly 260 catties. How much are you planning to offer for it?"
The beautiful woman thought for a moment and replied, "I originally thought it was around 250 catties, and I would buy it for 70,000 yuan. But since it's 10 catties heavier, how about I offer 75,000 yuan?"
Hearing this, Chen Xiangbei was already overjoyed inside, but he still stroked his chin, pretending to think, before speaking.
"Alright then. I originally wanted to sell it for 80,000, but seeing as you've bought so much, I'll sell it to you for 75,000."
The beautiful woman also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, afraid he would be unwilling and ask for a higher price.
After all, this giant wild Giant Grouper could already be displayed as a treasure of the restaurant. Selling it for eighty or a hundred thousand wouldn't be a problem. After some promotion by their hotel, a profit of several hundred thousand yuan would definitely be achievable.
The beautiful woman immediately scanned the QR code to transfer the money to him. After completing the transaction, he asked the staff to first take the fish to the car to keep it alive, as it wouldn't be worth much if it died.
After the staff carried the fish away, she turned back to Chen Xiangbei and said, "My name is Wang Xue. Can we exchange contact information? Next time you sell fish, you can tell me in advance, and I, I'll come and support you."
"My name is Chen Xiangbei. Thank you for taking care of my business. If I have more fish in the future, I'll definitely prioritize you!"
After introducing themselves, the two exchanged contact information. After a few pleasantries, Wang Xue hurried back to deal with the fish.
Chen Xiangbei also bent down to pack up the large boxes, lifting them into the boat cabin to store them.
Then he drove the fishing boat away from the Fishermen's Wharf and headed towards the Yacht Club.
At 7 PM, the fishing boat slowly entered the Yacht Club's dock area. After mooring the boat, he told the staff to help with the maintenance.
The staff had a very good service attitude, responding enthusiastically to his words and assuring him that they would take good care of the boat.
Chen Xiangbei went to the dock parking lot, got into his Great Wall Cannon, and left the Yacht Club.
On the way, he tallied the earnings from selling fish.
One box of Little Green Dragon sold for 4,600 yuan.
One box of Swimming Crab sold for 3,800 yuan.
One box of miscellaneous fish sold for 2,000 yuan.
One box of snapper sold for 8,700 yuan.
The Giant Grouper sold for a total of 138,000 yuan.
The total income from selling fish today was 157,100 yuan.
The price for Little Green Dragon and Swimming Crab was good, but these things don't weigh much; they look like a lot but aren't heavy. Fish, on the other hand, are much more substantial.
Unless you catch shrimp and crabs with a net, catching them one by one for half a day wouldn't be worth as much as a single hundred-catty Giant Grouper.
Half an hour later, he drove to the jewelry wholesale market in Linhai City. This place had the largest jewelry wholesale and retail mall in the country.
He parked his car and strolled through the mall, looking at the thousands of jewelry stores, big and small, wondering which one to choose.
Although he didn't know which one to choose, he knew which ones not to choose. He would absolutely not choose the shops that advertised high-price recycling.
The three biggest scams in the country: prime location for rent, seeking a child with a large reward, and high-price recycling.
He directly bypassed the shops with "high-price recycling" signs, not even giving them a second glance.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he really didn't know which one to choose, so he simply found a store with a larger storefront and walked in.
Chen Xiangbei saw that this jewelry store was much larger than average, so its strength should be greater.
Upon entering, he found that there was only a young man who looked very inexperienced inside, currently eating.
Seeing someone enter, the young man quickly put down his bento box, stood up, and said to Chen Xiangbei, "Boss, what do you need? We have a complete range of products, affordable prices, and guaranteed quality and quantity."
"Are you the boss here? Can you make decisions?"
"The Boss is my dad, but I can make decisions. You can tell me what you need."
