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

Chapter 962: A good property investment is a sure win

"How is it possible that they only took several hundred kilograms of fish?"

“There’s not enough to sell!”

"Not to mention, half of these 1,000 kilograms must be given to Boss Wu Weimin!"

Liu Lei immediately shook his head as to whether he wanted to or not.

With fewer fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea, the business in the store will become better. The store will definitely sell more fish in the next few days.

Several thousand kilograms of fish are definitely not enough to sell.

If we get fewer fish now, we will have to come back to get more tomorrow, and the price will definitely go up again.

"Liu Lei."

"If there are too few fish, it will definitely not be enough for you. Or if you come back tomorrow to get more, the price will go up again. But if I sell you too much fish at today's price, I will lose a lot."

"The 40 percent price does seem high now, but it will go up in a few days."

"Now we just need to see how long this period of time when there are fewer fish, shrimps and crabs will last."

"The longer it takes, the higher the price will go."

"Zhao Dahai and my father estimate that this time it may take ten days, half a month, or even twenty days, and there will be fewer fish, shrimps, and crabs."

"The price must have increased by 40 percent today, but you can get a little more fish."

"Five thousand pounds!"

"For this price you can get 5,000 kilograms of fish today."

"If you only take 2,000 kilograms, then the price can be increased by 20%."

Ding Xiaoxiang insisted on the price.

I'm betting that Zhao Dahai and my father's predictions are correct. There won't be many fish, shrimps or crabs in the next ten days or half a month.

If Liu Lei and Yang Qin want to buy more fish, they will have to ask for a higher price. If they only want to buy 2,000 kilograms today, a 20% increase will be enough.

"Humph!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"Your abacus is really making a lot of noise!"

Yang Qin gritted her teeth.

If you only take 2,000 kilograms of fish, you will have to come here again to get more fish in less than two days.

It won't take ten days or half a month for there to be no fish. In the next three to five days, there will not be many fish on the fishing boats going out to sea. The price will continue to rise like sesame seeds blooming.

If you come here to get fish again in two days, the price Ding Xiaoxiang offers will not be a 40% increase, it may be a 50% increase or even more.

"Hee hee hee!"

"Yang Qin."

"Don't you think that 40% is too high? Then don't take so many fish! If you take fish here in a few days, who knows, the fishing boats out to sea may catch a lot of fish in the next few days, and the prices of fish, shrimps and crabs may drop suddenly. You don't need to pay a high price then, and who knows, the prices may return to normal!"

Ding Xiaoxiang laughed.

"Humph!"

"How could I not know what you are saying?"

"This is something that can only happen in the next few days when more fish, shrimps and crabs are caught. If fewer fish, shrimps and crabs are caught, wouldn't the price go up like crazy? Wouldn't the price of fish be even higher then?"

"If this is really the case, then what you want is not 40%, but 50 to 60 percent!"

Yang Qin had a terrible headache.

What Ding Xiaoxiang said was actually very reasonable. If she only bought two thousand kilograms of fish today, it would definitely not be possible for the price to increase by 40%. But if she bought more, for example five or six thousand kilograms of fish, Ding Xiaoxiang would definitely have to calculate the possible price increase in the future.

If you were running your own business, you would definitely do it this way.

"Liu Lei."

"I don't think you need to take so many fish."

"One is the price issue, and the other is that in the next few days, Shi Jiehua, Shi Shu and Shi Zhongwei will return to the dock with their sea fishing boat."

"Deep-sea fish cannot be compared with open-sea fish. There is a difference in the people who are willing to pay for it."

"But no matter what, the price is definitely a little lower. I think you can take a portion of the fish now, for example, four thousand kilograms."

"Wait for Uncle Shi and his fishing boat to return to the dock to see if there are any fish."

"Let's not talk about anything else. We will definitely get a lot of croakers this time. The sizes are definitely not that big, they are all three to five pounds or ten pounds. But for Hongyun Restaurant and even Boss Wu Weimin's private restaurant, these fish are enough."

Zhao Dahai knew very well what Yang Qin and Liu Lei were arguing about, and reminded them that Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat would return to the dock in the next few days.

"Ok!"

"Brother Dahai."

"Then it's settled. There's no need to take so many fish at once. Four thousand kilograms is enough."

Liu Lei pondered it carefully and felt that what Zhao Dahai said was right. He really didn't need to take too many fish at once. One reason was that there were so many fish in his hands, especially since his Hongyun Restaurant only had a live water pool. It was indeed risky to raise so many fish. Another reason was that Shi Jiehua's sea fishing boat would definitely have fish when he returned, and the price of these fish was relatively low. If he took less fish and waited for the next trip to take them, the price of fish might go up even higher. But anyway, it was relatively better to do it this way.

"Thirty percent!"

"For 4,000 kilograms of fish, the price will increase by 30 percent."

Seeing that Liu Lei and Yang Qin had made up their minds, Ding Xiaoxiang immediately offered her own price.

Yang Qin and Liu Lei discussed it and nodded. The price was definitely not low, but it was not very high. Zhao Dahai and Ding Chongshan both felt that if there were no fish in the next few days, or if there were fewer fish, the price would definitely rise rapidly.

"Ding Xiaoxiang!"

"Today, Liu Lei and I only took away 1,000 kilograms of fish, and the remaining 3,000 kilograms were left on the fishing boat."

Yang Qin thought about it and decided that it would be enough to take away 1,000 kilograms of fish today. She could put the remaining 3,000 kilograms of fish on the fishing boat and wait for tomorrow or whenever she wanted to get them. It would be much safer to keep them on the fishing boat than in the live water pool of Hongyun Restaurant.

"Row!"

"Who told me that I have known you for so many years? And we have a good relationship?"

"Brother Dawen will help you pick the fish later. After weighing, put them separately in another live water tank."

Ding Xiaoxiang smiled and nodded.

Yang Qin couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Yo!"

"Yang Qin."

"I have to tell you, don't expect others to be treated like this. I have to charge a fee to put it on my fishing boat."

Ding Xiaoxiang was confident.

"Brother Dawen! Brother Dawen!"

"Let's go."

"Go pick some fish!"

"I can't stay here any longer! If I stay any longer, I will definitely go crazy."

Yang Qin turned and walked out. Ding Dawen smiled, turned and walked out with Yang Qin to the live tank to pick the fish and weigh them.

Liu Lei talked to Zhao Dahai and decided to go fishing first and come back later.

"Grandpa Shi."

"Is there any vacant shop here at the dock? Zhao Dahai and I want to rent a shop here. We don't need a shop of 50 or 60 square meters. A bigger shop is fine."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought of what she had just discussed with Zhao Dahai. Shijiao Village was Shi Guangming's territory, and he was very clear and familiar with the situation here. It would be convenient to ask Shi Guangming about this matter.

"Yo!"

"What do you want to do? Why do you want to take a shop here?"

Shi Guangming was very puzzled. The shops in places like the dock were not cheap, and the key point was that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang had no intention of buying fish, shrimps, crabs or doing other business here, so there was no need to rent a shop here.

Ding Xiaoxiang talked about what she had just discussed with Zhao Fahai.

"Correct!"

"It is indeed necessary to do this. It is more convenient this way. You don't have to run back and forth."

"I can't say for sure about this right now. Let me find out the situation in the next few days."

"It's definitely not a problem to find a store in a place like the dock, but you just have to look at the rent."

Shi Guangming was very familiar with the situation at the dock. After Ding Xiaoxiang said this, he immediately remembered that there was indeed a vacant shop here.

"Grandpa Shi."

"The rent is not easy to negotiate."

"If the price is right, I can buy it."

Ding Xiaoxiang thought about it and felt that she could buy the shop if the price was right. Although it would cost a lot of money all at once, a shop in a place like the pier would be a good choice whether she bought it for her own use or rented it out to others.

"Oh?"

"Want to buy it? I remember there are several shops here that want to sell it, but the prices are not low!"

Shi Guangming looked at Ding Xiaoxiang and then at Zhao Dahai.

Renting a shop and buying a shop are two different things. If you rent a shop, you just pay rent, and you can rent it for one, two, or three years.

Buying a store requires a lot of money at once, often hundreds of thousands or even a million.

"what!"

"Zhao Dahai."

"For other people, paying this much money all at once is indeed a huge investment, but for you and Ding Xiaoxiang, it is actually very cost-effective."

Shi Guangming patted the back of his head. Places like the pier, especially the one in his village, have deep waters and can accommodate larger fishing boats. In the past few years, the fishing boats that go out to sea have not caught too many fish, and fewer and fewer people are willing to rent out shops here. There are several shops that have not been rented out for a long time. I know of a relatively large shop that wants to be sold. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang have the money to buy such a shop. It may not be cost-effective in the short term, but it will definitely be very cost-effective in the long run.

"Grandpa Shi."

"Why don't we just see if we can buy it first? If we can't, we can think about renting it later."

Zhao Dahai strongly agreed to buy the shop, as it was a business that was sure to make a profit.

"Row!"

"I'm going to go back and ask around to see what the people in those stores think."

"If you really want to sell it, let's have a good talk with these people."

Shi Guangming nodded and agreed.

Zou Dahai, Ding Xiaoxiang, Shi Guangming and Zhao Shi were chatting in the cab. After waiting for almost an hour, Yang Qin and Liu Lei returned to the cab.

"Yo!"

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"What are you doing? Are you thinking of buying a shop here at the pier?"

As soon as Yang Qin came back, she heard Ding Xiaoxiang say that she was planning to buy a shop at the Shijiao Village Pier, and her eyes immediately started rolling around.

"Humph!"

"I plan to buy a store here. If I can't buy one, I will rent a store and install a phone. This way I can call Da Wen every day and tell him how to sell the fish today, so that I don't have to take advantage of you."

Ding Xiaoxiang was merciless and told Yang Qin directly why she did this.

"Yo!"

“This is a really good idea!”

Yang Qin's eyes widened suddenly. She didn't expect Ding Xiaoxiang to have such an idea. But if this happened, the chances of herself or Liu Lei taking advantage of the time difference to buy more fish or buy fish at a lower price would be completely gone.

"Ding Xiaoxiang."

"It's really difficult for anyone to make more money or take advantage of you!"

Yang Qin shook his head.

"Yo!"

"If you think the fish here is too expensive, why don't you just buy it somewhere else!"

"Why would you need to come to me to buy it?"

Ding Xiaoxiang was really not polite at all. The fish caught by Zhao Dahai were all valuable groupers, which were of no use at all. She was worried that she would not be able to sell them.

Yang Qin was very depressed. She really couldn't refute this. It's not that other people who go fishing at sea can catch grouper, but no one can catch so many groupers at once like Zhao Dahai. If you want to collect enough groupers from other people, you have to find a lot of people, and it is very unstable.

Zhao Dahai and Liu Lei ignored the bickering Ding Xiaoxiang and Yang Qin.

"Brother Dahai."

"It's really a good deal to buy a few shops at the pier. There's nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money."

Liu Lei was very envious.

Shops in places like the pier are worth investing in.

As long as the price is not particularly high, or the location is good, it is very cost-effective to get it.

The water at the dock of Shijiao Village is relatively deep, so the shops here are more valuable and more worthy of investment.

On the one hand, the operation of Hongyun Restaurant requires sufficient liquid funds, and on the other hand, the building under construction requires a lot of investment. There is really no other way. Otherwise, Zhao Dahai will have to see if there is any opportunity to buy a store here this time.

"If you rent someone else's shop, you have to pay rent every month. No matter how many years you rent it, it's someone else's shop."

“If the price is right, it’s a good deal to buy it.”

"If you only need it, then use it yourself. If you don't need it, then rent it out."

Zhao Dahai took a look at the shops near the dock. Since he had money, it was better to buy a shop than to rent one.

"Hey!"

"Brother Dahai."

"Who doesn't know this? But if you don't have money, you can only rent a shop even if you want to use it!"

Liu Lei shook his head. That was true. It was definitely more cost-effective to buy a shop than to rent one. But if you had no money, you could only rent a shop. The great thing about Zhao Dahai was that he could catch a lot of fish every day when he went out to sea, and they were all valuable fish. After selling these fish, he would have plenty of cash and could do whatever he wanted.
