41: Sky-high Price Golden Butterfly Carp

Host: The auction is past the halfway mark. The next item up for bid is a Thailand Tiger. This Thailand Tiger has excellent appearance, strong vitality, and strong adaptability. It was purchased by the consignor from its place of origin. The starting bid is 20,000, and each subsequent bid must not be less than 1,000.

The Thailand Tiger is a tropical freshwater Ornamental Fish, and it is a relatively large Ornamental Fish.

Generally, adult Thailand Tigers are over 30 centimeters in length, and the largest can grow to about 1 meter.

It is named for the black and yellow stripes on its body that resemble a tiger's, and it is a relatively important Ornamental Fish.

At the 2016 aquarium exhibition, a Thailand Tiger was sold for 380,000.

The appearance of the Thailand Tiger delighted the fish enthusiasts present, and they all started bidding.

After a fierce bidding war, this Thailand Tiger was finally successfully acquired by a group member for a price of 70,000.

Chen Xiangbei was also inspired by this Thailand Tiger; the tropical regions have the most Ornamental Fish in the world.

He could go fishing in tropical regions and then bring them back to China to sell.

He made up his mind to plan carefully when he returned; this was a very good source of income.

Following the Thailand Tiger, the transaction prices for the next few Ornamental Fish were not very high, ranging between 20,000 and 50,000.

Exactly at 11:00 AM, the second to last Ornamental Fish was successfully hammered down.

Host: Time flies, doesn't it? The last item for today's auction is about to appear. I know many attendees here came specifically for this item.

This item is also the best I have ever hosted in an auction this year, whether in terms of breed, appearance, or value, it is in the top tier.

Alright, without further ado, let's welcome our last item for today - the Golden Butterfly Koi, making its grand finale appearance!

This Golden Butterfly Koi was just caught from Baiyun Lake yesterday afternoon.

It is purely wild and naturally bred, and its vitality and adaptability are top-notch.

Once in Hong Kong, a Golden Butterfly Koi was sold for 1.2 million, but its actual price is not that exaggerated.

After discussing with its consignor, it was decided that the starting bid for this Golden Butterfly Koi would be 10,000, and each subsequent bid must not be less than 5,000. Let the bidding begin.

"20,000."

"25,000."

"30,000."

"40,000."

...

"120,000."

The host said, "120,000. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

"I bid 130,000."

Chen Xiangbei turned his head and saw that it was Lu Jianqiang, the person who bought his white Butterfly Koi last time.

Lu Jianqiang saw Chen Xiangbei looking at him and smiled and nodded.

Chen Xiangbei also smiled and nodded, responding politely.

The host asked again if anyone wanted to increase the bid. The scene was quiet for a while, and before the host could speak again, someone raised their bidding paddle.

"Baiyun Lake Breeding Base bids 135,000." Everyone turned their heads to look.

"Those breeding base people are going to make a move."

"Yes, if this fish gets into their hands, they will certainly promote it heavily and then resell it at a high price."

The people present discussed animatedly, seemingly aware of the practices of these breeding bases.

"Zhuhai Bay Breeding Base bids 140,000."

"Shengda Ornamental Fish Breeding Center bids 150,000."

Just as the major breeding bases were bidding, a special voice rang out: "I bid 160,000."

"Isn't that Lu Jianqiang? This guy is a real Butterfly Koi enthusiast!"

"Exactly, there's no Butterfly Koi that doesn't appeal to him, but his financial strength is also truly impressive. There aren't many individual players still bidding."

"Don't you know? This Lu Jianqiang is a famous second-generation rich from demolition. His family is from Liede Village. Ordinary companies can't compete with him."

"So that's it, no wonder he's so calm!"

Everyone discussed Lu Jianqiang himself.

After a round of bidding, this Golden Butterfly Koi was finally bought by Lu Jianqiang for a high price of 185,000.

The managers of those breeding bases saw that Lu Jianqiang had entered the fray, so they only made a few symbolic bids and then gave up.

This was because Lu Jianqiang had economic ties with many of them and was one of their important customers.

Their rare Butterfly Koi varieties were usually bought by him at high prices.

Therefore, stopping in time was beneficial: first, it gave him face, and second, the price of this fish exceeded their psychological expectations, so continuing to compete was not cost-effective.

Host: Let us congratulate this Mr. on successfully bidding for this top-grade Butterfly Koi. I declare that this auction is officially over.

Next, please move to the banquet hall, where a sumptuous lunch has been prepared to provide a platform for everyone to communicate and cooperate.

The second major part of this trade fair is the exchange session. If you need to conduct private transactions or exchange experiences, you can go and take a look.

This is where the elites of the Ornamental Fish industry in Linhai City gather, and it is a great opportunity for exchange. If you miss it, you don't know how long you'll have to wait.

Upon hearing this, everyone moved to the banquet hall to see if there were any opportunities.

Even if there weren't, they could meet more friends, as having more friends means more sales channels.

Chen Xiangbei accepted Xia Weicheng's invitation to have lunch together.

Although he didn't particularly like this kind of occasion, he was still very happy, as his earnings today had reached a new high.

Walking side by side with Xia Weicheng to the banquet hall, being the club manager was quite prestigious, and everyone greeted them.

Those who knew Chen Xiangbei also greeted him one by one.

Lu Hu and Chen Wen were also here. During the auction, a rare Lionhead Goldfish was bought by them.

Seeing Chen Xiangbei and Xia Weicheng approaching, the two stood up and walked over to greet them.

Xia Weicheng knew they knew each other, so he found an excuse to leave, allowing the young people to chat.

Lu Hu and Chen Wen were not very old, only a few years older than Chen Xiangbei, so there was no generation gap, and they got along quite well.

"Brother, congratulations! You sold it for a good price. Remember to treat us to dinner sometime!" Lu Hu said to Chen Xiangbei with a smile.

"Yes, your Golden Butterfly Koi is indeed top-grade. It would be great if it were a Lionhead Goldfish. I haven't encountered a top-grade Lionhead Goldfish in a long time," Chen Wen exclaimed.

"Hahaha, catching any fish depends entirely on luck. It's not like I can catch whatever I want. Besides, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Are you going fishing at Baiyun Lake tomorrow? If you are, take us with you. We also want to learn your fishing skills. Even if we can't learn, we can at least share some of your luck, hehe," Zhao Hu said with a grin.

"I'm not sure if I'm going. I'm thinking of going sea fishing. Fishing in the same place all the time is not that exciting, and I feel that the top-grade fish in Baiyun Lake are hiding in the deep water in the center of the lake. It would be great if I could go out and fish by boat," Chen Xiangbei said uncertainly.

When Chen Wen heard what he said, his eyes lit up. He thought that fishing in the center of Baiyun Lake was not impossible, so he said to him.
