32: Sky-high Price White Butterfly Carp

After watching for a while, one of them murmured, "It's absolutely beautiful! The ink marks are evenly distributed over every inch of its body, and the tail nodes are perfectly covered. It's simply flawless!"

"Yes, this kind of quality is the best among Heavy Ink Tigers. I've never seen such perfect ink marks before."

"Right, brother, how much do you want for them? We'll buy them, both of them. Quickly tell us the price," one of them asked.

"That depends on you. The price I name might not be acceptable to you. Since you're fish enthusiasts, you should know their value," Chen Xiangbei replied.

The two men exchanged glances and then nodded.

"Brother, since you trust us so much, we won't cheat you. I'll give you a real price, 8,000 yuan per tail. We'll take both of them, how about it?" one person said seriously.

"That's right, brother. The highest price for precious Heavy Ink Tiger varieties is around this. Maybe the market price is higher, but that's the selling price. The purchase price couldn't be higher than what we're offering," the other person echoed.

Chen Xiangbei pretended to think for a moment and said, "Alright, this price is definitely top-notch. After you transfer the money, you can take the fish."

"Okay, brother, please show us your QR code. We'll each pay our share."

Chen Xiangbei opened his phone's QR code.

"Beep, Alipay received 8,000 yuan."

"Beep, Alipay received 8,000 yuan."

Two consecutive payment received notifications sounded.

After paying, the two were about to leave, but Chen Xiangbei quickly stopped them.

"Hold on, gentlemen, I have even better goods. Would you like to take another look?" Chen Xiangbei said with a teasing smile.

"Ah! You have more fish? Where are they? Quickly bring them out for us to see. If the fish are good, I'll definitely buy them at a high price."

"Yes, yes, quickly bring them out, don't keep us waiting, our hearts are itching," the two said anxiously.

"Wait a moment," Chen Xiangbei took out the rare Pure White Dairy Cow Lionhead Goldfish from the fish tank and placed it in a small glass aquarium as well.

"Here, a rare Pure White Dairy Cow variety. Take a good look. If you like it, make an offer. If not, it's okay, just consider it a look," Chen Xiangbei said, handing over the fish.

The two men were once again mesmerized, staring at the fish without blinking.

Its body was pure white, dotted with black spots that looked just like a dairy cow's markings, and its eyes were large and round.

If you put your hand into the aquarium, it would even swim over to touch your hand and interact with you.

This fish, both in appearance and spirituality, reached an extremely high level, a characteristic that artificial breeding often lacked.

The two men discussed for a while and finally gave their answer.

"Brother, I'll give you the top market price, 15,000 yuan, how about it? Generally, the market can only give between 10,000 and 12,000 at most. We just like this kind, so we're willing to buy it at a high price."

"Alright, honestly, it's hard for me to refuse this price. Scan the code, the fish is yours." He then opened his phone's QR code.

The two men scanned the code and paid again. Professional Ornamental Fish players are just like antique collectors, they are never short on funds.

After paying, the more impatient man said.

"Brother, do you have any more fish? If so, just bring them all out. Even if you don't sell them, at least let us see them."

"Emm... alright, you've bought my fish, I'll let you see a 'mermaid'."

He returned to the car, filled a glass aquarium with water, and added oxygen.

He took the White Butterfly Koi out of the box and placed it in the glass tank, then motioned for the two men to come up and look.

After climbing up, the two men saw a fish in the aquarium Chen Xiangbei was holding that looked like a white butterfly dancing gracefully.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a White Short-bodied Butterfly Koi.

The Short-bodied Butterfly Koi is the variety of Butterfly Koi that most resembles a butterfly; from a distance, it looks like a butterfly in the water.

"Brother, you can even catch such a premium specimen. Is this Baiyun Lake yours?" The relatively calm man couldn't stay composed either.

"To be honest, if it weren't unnecessary, I'd want to tie you up and have you fish exclusively for me. Even the Dragon King's son isn't as amazing as you!"

"How about it, gentlemen? What price range can you see for this Butterfly Koi?" Chen Xiangbei said with a smile.

"Based on the variety, the general price is between 8,000 and 13,000 yuan, but based on the quality, I can offer around 18,000. Is that acceptable?" the impatient man said.

Chen Xiangbei was also taken aback. He hadn't expected these two to be so generous with their offers. He had originally thought this White Butterfly Koi would sell for around 10,000, but these two offered such a high price.

It seemed the fishmongers on the market were indeed suppressing prices significantly. These two were pricing it from a professional perspective; the fishmongers' level wasn't that high yet.

"Are you buying it? If so, I'll sell it to you," Chen Xiangbei said.

"This... actually, we mainly deal with Lionhead Goldfish. We don't really deal with Butterfly Koi. However, it would be a shame to let a fish of such good quality go to someone else. Wait a few minutes, I'll ask my friends in the circle if they want it."

Saying that, he took out his phone, took several photos of the fish from various angles, and sent them out in several group chats.

After a while, his phone rang. He answered the call and chattered with the other person for quite some time.

After hanging up, he turned to Chen Xiangbei and said.

"Brother, a friend of mine who specializes in Butterfly Koi wants this fish. He can buy it for 18,000, provided that the next time you catch a Butterfly Koi, you prioritize selling it to him. Do you agree?"

"That's great! I don't have anywhere to sell my catches anyway."

"Alright, I'll pay for my friend. You give me the fish, and I'll take it to him. Then you add our contact information, and I'll recommend my friend to you. You can contact us whenever you catch fish in the future, and the price we offer will definitely make your heart flutter."

After saying that, he transferred the money to Chen Xiangbei.

"Beep, Alipay received 18,000 yuan."

"Okay, let's add each other's contact information."

The two men scanned Chen Xiangbei's friend QR code and successfully added him as a friend.

The impatient one was named Zhao Hu, and the other man was named Chen Wen, from the same family.

Chen Wen pushed the contact information of the Butterfly Koi buyer to Chen Xiangbei, and Chen Xiangbei added him.

"Hello, my name is Chen Xiangbei, a professional angler. The White Butterfly Koi you bought is the one I just caught. Thank you for your support!"

"Hello, my name is Lu Jianqiang. I really like this fish. Don't forget me next time you catch fish, okay? I'll definitely make sure you don't lose out."

"No problem, it's a deal."

"It's a deal."

After exchanging contact information, Chen Xiangbei said goodbye to the two men. It was still early, and he wanted to go back and continue fishing, while Zhao Hu and Chen Wen returned to the market to continue looking for fish.

Chen Xiangbei returned to the rocky beach and saw several people fishing there. It seemed the technique of netting fish from this morning couldn't be repeated; with more people, the fish would hide and not come out.
