63: Fish Sales

"It's you! Haven't seen you for days. Haven't you been fishing lately?"

"Yeah, I just came over this afternoon. I just finished fishing and was about to head back, so I stopped by to take a look."

"How was it today? Did you catch anything good?"

The Shop Owner asked curiously when he saw the fish box in his hand.

"I did have some catches, and I also came here to talk about cooperation with you."

"Cooperation? How do we cooperate?" The Shop Owner asked, puzzled.

"It's just that I'll be coming over to fish for the next few days, and I don't want to sell the fish I catch myself."

"I also don't want to take them back, it's too troublesome. So I want to cooperate with you. There are two cooperation models, you can listen first."

"The first is that I sell the fish to you at market price, and then you sell them."

"The second is that you help me sell the fish, and for the money you get from selling them, I'll give you 20% of the total income."

"But there's a prerequisite: the money from the sales must first be deposited into my account, and I'll transfer the money to you the next day."

"You can think about it first, you choose how we cooperate."

The Shop Owner thought carefully, these two plans were completely different.

The first type was a simple transaction, equivalent to Chen Xiangbei selling fish to him.

The second type was more like cooperation, and also more attractive.

Compared to the first method, the second cooperation model had much higher returns.

The first method was to buy at market price and then sell at a higher price, which would mean very little profit, all of it earned by him.

The second method was equivalent to working for Chen Xiangbei, but he would give him 20% of the total selling price.

"But if that's the case, if you take the money and just run off, wouldn't I be at a great disadvantage?" The Shop Owner asked.

"Then think about it, if I just give you all the fish to sell, shouldn't I also worry about you taking the fish and running off?" Chen Xiangbei countered.

"This is a matter of mutual trust. If you trust me, then we cooperate, otherwise, it doesn't matter!"

"Alright then, let's trust each other this time. You give me the fish, I'll be responsible for selling them, and by then you'll give me 20% of the total profit."

Seeing that the Shop Owner had figured it out, Chen Xiangbei said with a smile.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

"Pleasant cooperation!"

The two shook hands and said to each other.

"Since we're cooperating, let me show you what's in the first batch of goods."

Saying this, Chen Xiangbei placed the fish box he was carrying on the ground, opened the lid, and revealed the fish inside.

The Shop Owner was also full of curiosity, leaning in closely to look.

When he saw the box full of fish.

His eyes widened like copper bells, staring intently at the colorful Ornamental Fish inside.

He said with a slightly trembling voice.

"You... you didn't... didn't you plough the entire Baiyun Lake, did you? Why are they all Ornamental Fish?!"

"Look at you, you're a Shop Owner after all, are you getting excited over just this much fish?" Chen Xiangbei teased.

"It's easy for you to say when you're not doing the work! Do you know that this many fish are equivalent to more than half a month's yield from Baiyun Lake!"

"My small shop just earns hard-earned money, there are too many people called Shop Owner now!"

"Alright, alright! These fish are nothing surprising, look at this one first."

After saying that, he took out the silver Panda Butterfly Koi from inside and put it into an empty fish tank in the shop.

"Quick, look at this, have you never seen such a large silver Panda before?" Chen Xiangbei pointed at the fish in the tank and said.

"Holy crap!"

"You even managed to get this thing up? And it's so big!"

"I... you... you pervert!"

"Alright, stop with the 'you, you, me, me', quickly give me an estimate."

"For something this high-quality, selling for six figures is easy."

"If you trust me, give it to me. I know clients who specifically buy Butterfly Koi."

"I can earn a lot more by selling it to him!" The Shop Owner declared confidently.

"If I didn't trust you, would I come back to find you? Remember to deposit the money into my account first after selling it, and I'll transfer it to you the next day."

"Oh, and for the other fish, lower the price appropriately, slightly lower than the market price."

"Let's build a reputation first, and then I'll continuously supply you with goods."

"I only have one request: sell them as quickly as possible to recover funds." Chen Xiangbei emphasized.

The Shop Owner patted his chest and said, "No problem, just wait for my good news."

"Oh, right, let's add each other's contact information. My name is Ouyang Shengde."

"My name is Chen Xiangbei."

After the two added each other's contact information, Chen Xiangbei left.

Back in the car, Chen Xiangbei breathed a sigh of relief.

Having someone help you with sales can save more time, allowing you to focus your energy on fishing.

The reason he asked Ouyang Shengde to give him the money first was to test the details of the System's settlement.

For example, after Ouyang (hereinafter referred to as Ouyang) transferred all the money from selling the fish to him.

Would the System settle based on this amount, or based on the amount after deducting Ouyang's 20% share.

This detail would affect some of his future business plans.

If he didn't figure this out, his subsequent plans would suffer heavy losses.

He took out his phone and called Chen Wen.

After the call connected, Chen Xiangbei asked.

"Wen-ge, I want to go and take on the Baiyun Lake Water Monster in the next few days."

"Can you ask Xia Qi if her boat is available tomorrow? I want to borrow it."

"What? You want to take on the Water Monster? Take me with you, I'll go and witness it, I promise I won't cause any trouble!"

The voice from the other end of the phone wasn't Chen Wen's, but Zhao Hu's loud voice.

"Alright, Hu Ge, but you need to borrow the boat first, how can we take on the Water Monster without a boat?" Chen Xiangbei said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll ask for you and send you a message after confirmation." Chen Wen replied.

"Thanks, brother, I'll treat you guys to a meal another day."

"It's no big deal, but let's agree first, we both want to go and see, to join in the fun."

"It's not a big deal, we'll just go together then."

After they agreed, they hung up the phone.

Chen Xiangbei drove back to the city, but didn't drive directly home.

Instead, he drove along the main road until a road sign appeared ahead - Dafan Shu Night Market.

He parked the car and, with anticipation, stepped into Linhai City's most bustling night market.

It was brightly lit, people were surging, and various sounds intertwined, forming a unique symphony.

Looking around, rows of stalls were dazzling, filled with all sorts of goods, making people dizzy.

The aroma of food wafted, tempting people's taste buds.

Exquisite handicrafts displayed the skillfulness of the stall owners.

Colorful clothes and accessories attracted customers to stop and choose.

Street performances added a joyful atmosphere. Street live streams, dancing, singing, and other programs made people laugh and applaud.

The entire night market was full of life and vitality, like an never-ending feast.

No one could walk out of the night market with a full wallet.

Chen Xiangbei first came to a stall selling lemon tea and ordered a hand-mixed lemon tea.
