Rebirth of Fishing Village: Starting from Hua Axiang in Jiehu Village

Chapter 1228 Business Reputation
“Some people still do things like this!”

"But when it comes to doing things like this, they can't really compare to Zhao Dahai!"

“Some people like Ding Chongshan who buy fish, shrimp and crabs still do this, but they really can’t do it.”

Zhao Shi shook his head.

Ding Chongshan and other people who buy fish, shrimps and crabs actually know very well that during the fishing moratorium, the prices of fish, shrimps and crabs rise sharply. If you have enough fish, shrimps and crabs, you can not only make money, but also make more money.

But people like Ding Chongshan really can't do this. The main reason is that the fish, shrimps and crabs they have have to be collected from others.

The profit comes from the resale.

Ding Chongshan and his colleagues want to raise a lot of fish, which is basically impossible. All they can do is freeze the fish in a cold storage.

However, the price difference between the frozen fish in the cold storage and those live and fresh fish is quite large.

For a grouper of the same size, the price of those in the cold storage is much lower than that of a living grouper. Sometimes the price difference is even ten times.

Buyers of fish, shrimp and crabs like Ding Chongshan know that living grouper is more expensive and they can make more money, but they really can't do it.

All the fish in Zhao Dahai's hands were caught by himself, and there were a lot of them.

"The fishing moratorium hasn't started yet. When it starts, I wonder how many people will come to the fish farm!"

Shi Guangming suddenly remembered something.

Zhao Dahai caught a lot of fish. Now, apart from the fish that he sold to people like Liu Gang, Liu Lei or Wu Weimin every day, the rest were all kept here in the fish farm.

The fishing moratorium has not started yet. Some of the big and alive fish are caught through other channels, waiting for the moratorium to start. The fish caught by other speedboats going out to sea for fishing will definitely not be able to meet the demand of the entire market.

It won’t be long before almost everyone knows that there are a lot of fish in Zhao Dahai’s fish farm.

Those who want to buy fish must have all flocked here to buy fish from Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang.

"what!"

"That's definitely the case, but it's useless. When the fishing moratorium begins, the fish in Zhao Dahai's fish farm may look plentiful, but they're really useless. I estimate that the business of Liu Gang, Liu Lei, and Wu Weiming's seafood restaurants and private restaurants will get better, and then more fish will be needed."

"Apart from the fish sold by Ding Chongshan, these fish may not be enough. It is almost impossible for other people to buy them!"

Zhao Shi knew that what Shi Guangming said was correct. When the fishing moratorium began, there would surely be many seafood buyers coming here to buy fish, but it was useless. The number of fish in the hands of Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang was indeed not small, but it might not be enough for Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin.

"Isn't it possible?"

"Can Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin sell more fish during the fishing moratorium?"

Shi Guangming was a little surprised. You know, at this time, Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin's business was already very good, and they sold a lot of fish every day.

The fishing moratorium is here, and if business gets better, it’s hard to imagine how good it will be.

"What's so strange about this?"

"What is the biggest feature of the fishing moratorium? The amount of fresh seafood will become very small."

"If other restaurants, including seafood restaurants or food restaurants, don't have enough fresh fish, shrimps and crabs, their business will definitely be greatly affected."

"Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant. Other fish, shrimps, crabs, etc. must have been affected to some extent, but grouper, sea bass, black porgy, and yellow porgy will not be affected at all. There are as many as you want. If you are a person who wants to eat, which place would you choose to go? You must go to Liu Gang and Liu Lei's Hongyun Restaurant or Wu Weimin's private restaurant."

"There are too many monks and too little porridge. How do you think the business will be?"

"This business will definitely be very good, even double or triple what it is now. In this way, even though Zhao Dahai has a lot of fish, no one can say for sure whether it will be enough to sell."

"Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin have all been in business for many years and are very experienced."

"How could we not see the situation like this? We must have told Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang about these fish and they caught all of them!"

Zhao Shi is not a businessman, but this matter is actually very simple and can be easily seen. It is really difficult, or even impossible, for other people to get fish, shrimps and crabs from Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang.

"All right!"

"What you said makes a lot of sense!"

"what!"

"If this happens, Zhao Dahai and especially Ding Xiaoxiang will have a huge headache!"

Shi Guangming had to admit that Zhao Shi's analysis made a lot of sense. The business of Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin's private restaurant or seafood restaurant would definitely get better during the fishing moratorium, and they would need a lot of fish. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang's fish farm might not have enough fish, or even if there was enough or even more, Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin would just buy it all.

One is that they can take all the fish and sell them themselves. The other, more important thing is that if they take the fish, other people will definitely have no fish, especially direct competitors. If they cannot get enough fresh fish, their business will be greatly affected. This is the best opportunity to deal with competitors.

Those who don't have enough fish must have set their eyes on Zhao Dahai's fish farm. At that time, they will definitely come to his door. It will not be easy for Ding Xiaoxiang to deal with these people.

"What's this about?"

"From the beginning, the fish Zhao Dahai caught were mainly sold to Liu Gang and Liu Lei, father and son, at Hongyun Restaurant and Wu Weimin's private restaurant."

"The prices at Hongyun Restaurant owned by Liu Gang and Liu Lei and Wu Weimin's private restaurant have always been relatively high."

"In this case, we must first ensure the needs of Liu Gang, Liu Lei, and Wu Weimin."

"Even if other people offer a higher price, they can't get the fish that Zhao Dahai has."

"No one can say no to what Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang did."

Zhao Shi shook his head.

Shi Guangmin's words cannot be ignored. They make no sense, but for Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiang, no matter what the situation is, no matter what price others offer, they must first meet the needs of Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin. You must know that those who offer high prices are just temporarily unable to find other fish and shrimp lines. Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin have been doing business all the time.

"That's true, but these people must have used all kinds of methods and connections to get to us."

“This is the most troublesome part of dealing with this matter.”

Shi Guangmin knew that what Zhao Shi said was absolutely correct. Someone must have come to him through various connections and wanted to buy the fish in Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang's fish fillets.

Zhao Shi frowned. This was indeed a problem, and it was really hard to handle. He had to remind Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang to pay attention to this matter. "Second Grandfather."

"Grandpa Shi."

"What are you two doing?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Ding Xiaoxiang walked to Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming. She had just driven the speedboat to the fish farm. Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were standing at the farthest corner of the fish farm. No one knew what they were doing and they didn't look at her, which meant they definitely didn't notice she was here.

"what?"

"When did you come?"

Zhao Shi was startled and turned around to see Ding Xiaoxiang. He was very surprised that he and Shi Guangming really didn't notice Ding Xiaoxiang coming.

"Second Grandpa."

"I've been here for about ten minutes. I just said hello to Grandma and Second Grandma and talked for a while before coming here. Where are you and Grandpa Shi?"

Ding Xiaoxiang felt even more puzzled now. She really had no idea what Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were doing. She had been there for such a long time and they hadn't noticed her. This was really very abnormal.

"Xiaoxiang."

“The fishing moratorium is coming soon.”

Shi Guangming remembered what he had just said to Zhao Shi, and he really needed to remind Ding Xiaoxiang.

"Correct!"

"Shouldn't it be here in about a week?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was a little confused. This was something that everyone who went out to sea to fish or anyone who was fishing knew. She was in this business so it was impossible for her not to know about this. She didn't know why Shi Guangming brought up this matter now.

"The fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea have become very scarce, so the fish in the fish rafts will become very popular. I estimate that many people will come here to buy fish."

Shi Guangming explained in detail what he and Zhao Shi were worried about just now.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Shi."

"I was wondering what you two were talking about, and it turns out you were talking about this."

Ding Xiaoxiang burst out laughing. She really didn't expect that Zhao Shi and Shi Guangming were talking about such a thing.

"Oh?"

"Will there be no impact? These people will definitely come to our door. Just like what Old Man Zhao said just now, what we should be afraid of is not that these people will come to our door, but that they will find various connections."

Looking at Ding Xiaoxiang's expression, Zhao Shi probably had already thought about this matter a long time ago. What was a bit strange was that Ding Xiaoxiang was not worried at all.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Zhao."

"What you said is actually correct. There must be quite a few people who came to us, and some of them must have found various connections."

"If other fish farm owners encountered such a thing, they would definitely be very troubled, but we really don't need to pay too much attention to these things."

"When it comes to business, you have to follow the rules of doing business. I can't ruin my job just for the sake of connections or favors with certain people."

"There is no such thing in the world, and no one has such a big face."

Ding Xiaoxiang had actually thought about this a long time ago. After the fishing moratorium began, the fish in the fish paddocks would be targeted by many people. Someone would definitely find connections and come to her and Zhao Dahai's fish paddocks to take the fish. These people would even try to lower the price in order to make more money.

But this kind of thing will never happen.

If there is really someone who wants to do something like this, don't blame me for not giving them any face.

He and Zhao Dahai have been doing business with Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin for many years. No matter how many fish and shrimp lines are on the fish fillets, the needs of Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin must be met first.

If he didn't do this, the news would get out and his and Zhao Dahai's reputation in this area would be ruined in an instant, and they would forget about doing business.

This impact is not just a little bit.

No matter who they are or what kind of connections they have, they don't have the face to allow Zhao Dahai and I to do such a thing.

"If these people really come to us, if we can negotiate in a friendly manner, Liu Gang, Liu Lei and Wu Weimin might sell some fish to them if they don't need so many. But if they really think that they are the kings and queens because of their connections, and Zhao Dahai and I will definitely give them face, then they are really thinking too much."

Ding Xiaoxiang was really not joking. If someone came to her door and wanted to take most or even all the fish in her fish pond, she would definitely teach these people a lesson.

"Correct!"

“That’s indeed the truth.”

"No matter what kind of person you are, you don't have the face to let you and Zhao Dahai destroy your reputation."

Shi Guangming suddenly understood why Ding Xiaoxiang didn't care about this matter.

Zhao Dahai was a fisherman who went out to sea, and he caught a lot of fish. These fish had to be sold for money. Wu Weimin, Liu Gang and Liu Lei had always been doing business with Zhao Dahai. From this point of view, as long as the price offered by Wu Weimin, Liu Gang and Liu Lei was okay, the fish in the fish rack would definitely be sold to them first.

What is really related to this is the business reputation of Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang. This is a big deal, and no one can afford such a big honor.

"Second Grandpa."

"Grandpa Zhao."

"You don't need to care about it, let alone worry about it. I will handle it properly."

Ding Xiaoxiang really wasn't worried about anyone coming to her about this matter. She just needed to explain the situation clearly, and if the other party didn't listen, she didn't need to pay any attention to them. There was no need to think too much about this matter. The more she thought about it, the more complicated and difficult it would be to handle.
