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

Chapter 989: Seeing Clearly and Thoroughly
"Shi Guangming."

"You really don't need to think too much about this matter."

"Just do whatever Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang say. Wait until you meet tomorrow and tell them directly that if we can reach an agreement today, then forget it if we can't."

"Or you can explain this matter clearly to the middleman between the buyer and the creditor. There is no problem with the price being a little higher, but it cannot be too high. It must be reasonable, otherwise there will be no room for negotiation."

Zhao Shi thought about it and felt that this matter could be made clear to the other party in advance, especially to the two people who were found as middlemen. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang could offer a price slightly higher than the normal market price, but they would definitely not take advantage of the situation. Once the seller had such an idea, there was no need to continue the discussion.

"Row!"

"It's settled now. I'll call the middlemen on both sides and explain the matter to them when I get back. If the negotiation fails tomorrow, I'll buy it. If not, forget it."

Shi Guangming nodded vigorously and decided to call and explain the matter when he got home.

11pm.

When Shi Guangming returned home, he saw Shi Zhongwei making a phone call in the main room. He did not go in, but stood in the yard and waited for a while until Shi Zhongwei finished the call and came out.

"what?"

"grandfather."

"Weren't you here to discuss something with Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang? Why are you back?"

After Shi Zhongwei finished his phone call and walked out of the yard, he immediately saw Shi Guangming.

"What time is it now? Have I finished discussing everything?"

"correct!"

"I'll make two calls first. You wait here. I have something to ask you."

Shi Guangming turned around and walked into the main room, and took the phone to call the buyer and creditor he had found. The middleman between the two parties made a phone call and directly explained what Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang meant.

"grandfather."

"Is it possible that Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang's plan to buy the dock shop is not going smoothly?"

Shi Zhongwei waited for Shi Guangming to finish his call and spoke immediately.

"Correct!"

"This matter may be a bit difficult to handle. The seller may ask for an exorbitant price."

"I just called the two middlemen I found and told them what Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang meant. I hope these two middlemen can have a good talk with the seller and the creditor."

Shi Guangming nodded. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaogan wanted to buy a shop, but it was a bit troublesome now. It would be a good thing if they could get it in one go tomorrow. If not, they could wait for a few months, or even a year or two. Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaogan didn't need to wait for the shop to do business and make money. There was no need to be anxious at all.

"Humph!"

"That shop at the dock has been open for three months, right?"

"Is there anyone who can offer a higher price than Brother Dahai and Xiaoxiang Shao?"

"If the seller in that shop doesn't know what's good for him, then just forget it."

"How can people like Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang be easily controlled by others?"

"Now, everyone in the whole town, including the county, knows that Dahai and Xiaoxiang are rich. This matter is not that simple. If Dahai and Xiaoxiang are manipulated by others to pay a large sum of money to buy this store, then wouldn't it be telling others that they are being taken advantage of? No matter what they buy in the future, they will have to pay a high price, right?"

Shi Zhongwei curled his lips. This shop at the dock has been put up for sale for three months or even longer. It's not that no one wants to buy this shop. On the contrary, there are many people who want to buy this shop, but the prices they offer are not high. The price Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang saw is definitely the highest among all. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this shop. Even if you really sell it to Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang in the future, the price will definitely be reduced, and it will be reduced a lot. If the seller can be smarter tomorrow, he will know what to do.

"Yo!"

"What you said is so reasonable. We will definitely not pay too high a price for the store this time. Once we open this precedent, it will be a clear message to others that Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are just suckers and rich sheep. It will be very difficult to buy anything from them in the future."

Shi Guangming thought carefully about what Shi Zhongwei said and realized that it made a lot of sense. No matter what Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang bought, they couldn't really get whatever price they wanted. Once they did this and the news got out, they would have to pay a lot for everything they wanted to buy next. Shi Zhongwei saw this matter very clearly.

"correct!"

"What do you think the seller will do tomorrow? Will he ask for an exorbitant price?"

Shi Guangming lit up the hookah and took a puff.

Shi Zhongwei nodded without hesitation. The seller in the store would definitely ask for a sky-high price, which would definitely be much higher than the market price.

"Oh?"

"Do you think we can come to an agreement tomorrow?"

Shi Guangming's expression suddenly became very serious.

"grandfather!"

"How can we possibly come to an agreement tomorrow? It's definitely impossible. One reason is that the seller is asking for an exorbitant price, and Dahai and Xiaoxiang are unlikely to agree. Then the seller will think about negotiating another day, and when he goes back, he will send out the message. Who knows, more people might want to buy his store, and in that case, the price will get higher and higher, and he will be able to make more money."

"Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang have already seen this clearly, that's why they said that if we can negotiate tomorrow, then we can negotiate, if not, then forget it."

Shi Zhongwei really didn't think that the discussion could be concluded tomorrow.

"Ugh!"

"All right!"

"It looks like tomorrow's matter will be in vain. Don't even think about negotiating it."

Shi Guangming was very depressed, but there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.

"Did you call Ding Ailian just now? What did you talk about? Are you really planning to buy a new, larger sea fishing boat?"

Shi Guangming did not continue talking about the store. He asked Shi Zhongwei if he was thinking about buying a new large sea fishing boat and whether he had just discussed this with Ding Ailian.

Shi Zhongwei nodded. He did have such an idea. He not only wanted to buy a sea fishing boat, but also wanted to buy a brand new large sea fishing boat. He just called to discuss this matter with Ding Ailian.

"Do you think it would be too stressful to buy a big sea fishing boat? Would it be profitable?"

Shi Guangming is very clear whether the sea fishing boat can make money. The key is whether all the fishing spots can be rented out. As long as 80% of the fishing spots, or even just 60% of the fishing spots are booked and people go out to sea to fish, it is enough to make money.

"How can there be no pressure? After all, this is a lot of money."

"But I think what Brother Dahai and Sister-in-law Xiaoxiang said makes a lot of sense. I just called Ding Ailian and she agreed with my choice and decision."

Shi Zhongwei knew that if he bought a new large sea fishing boat, it would take him a longer time to pay back the borrowed money.

"grandfather!"

"If you buy my father's old sea fishing boat, the price might be very low, even half price. But if you buy a brand new sea fishing boat, you have to pay real money."

"The difference is definitely huge, but I still decided to buy a big, new sea fishing boat." "We are seafarers. If we want to make money, we have to make a lot of money. We have to risk our lives. Now we are risking our lives. Why should we worry so much?"

Shi Zhongwei grew up in a fishing village, surrounded by people who go out to sea. He has the adventurous blood of seafarers flowing in his body.

"Ok!"

"Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang actually saw it very clearly."

"Now is a good time to make money. It's very cost-effective to buy a large sea fishing boat. Although it does require a large sum of money all at once, Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang are willing to lend you money, so there is really no problem at all!"

"So why worry about not being able to reserve a fishing spot?"

"In less than half a year, you will be able to pay back the money you borrowed plus the interest."

"Hey!"

"You are so lucky, kid!"

"Your father Shi Jiehua and I didn't have such a good life back then!"

Shi Guangming was deeply impressed.

I started from scratch, with nothing, and I don't know how much hardship I endured. It took me most of my life to buy a large sea fishing boat.

Shi Jiehua took over the sea fishing boat from his own hands. It was just an old sea fishing boat. Shi Jiehua's business was not very good and he was no match for Li Hongyun and Li Fei.

If he hadn't happened to cooperate with Zhao Dahai, he wouldn't have thought about turning his life around, let alone buying a large sea fishing boat with forty fishing spots.

Is it Li Hongyun and Li Fei’s?

Now we are no match for each other.

Shi Jiehua worked hard for half his life before he finally had good luck.

Shi Zhongwei was the kind of person who could buy a large new sea fishing boat with almost no effort, and could make money in a short period of time.

This money had to be borrowed, and the interest rate was not low, but everyone who went to sea knew that borrowing such a large sum of money was a huge favor.

"what!"

"grandfather!"

"You are right, that is exactly what happened. My luck is really very good."

"Without Brother Dahai and Sister Xiaoxiang, I wouldn't be able to do it even if I wanted to."

"Don't even think about borrowing money. Even if I borrowed money to buy a sea fishing boat, I wouldn't make any money."

Shi Zhongwei knew very well what was going on.

Whether it's borrowing money or buying a fishing spot for a sea fishing boat, it all has a close relationship with Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang. Without Zhao Dahai and Ding Xiaoxiang, I can't even think about doing this.

"Humph!"

"Do you think that such a good thing will happen just by cooperating with our family, Zhao Hai, and Ding Xiaoxiang?"

"If it wasn't Ding Ailian, how could Ding Xiaoxiang decide to lend you such a large sum of money?"

Shi Guangming took two puffs from the hookah in his hand and glanced at Shi Zhongwei who was standing next to him.

My family now cooperates very closely with Zhao Dahai. Even if Zhao Dahai does not go out with the fishing boat, the money earned must be shared with Zhao Dahai. However, if it is just such a relationship, Zhao Dahai or Ding Xiaoxiang will really not lend such a large sum of money.

"Ok!"

"grandfather!"

"How could I not know this was a problem?"

"If Sister Xiaoxiang hadn't been considering Ding Ailian, she wouldn't have lent such a large sum of money."

"It's not easy to borrow money from people like us who are out at sea!"

Shi Zhongwei knew very well that it was very difficult for people going out to sea to borrow money. It was not enough to just pay high interest. Many people were unwilling to lend money to people going out to sea even if they had money and the interest rate was high.

The risks for those who go out to sea this time are very high. Sometimes you can make a lot of money, but most of the time it is very difficult to make a lot of money. Although you can get back part of the interest on the loaned money, you often cannot get back the principal.

It is impossible for Ding Xiaoxiang and Zhao Dahai to be unaware of this situation. They offered to lend money out of consideration for Ding Ailian.

"grandfather!"

"I know that you and my father both want me to marry Ding Ailian as soon as possible, but there is no way to rush this matter."

"I don't want to. I actually want to get in right away, but I really don't have the final say on this matter."

"I think I must do something to prove my ability. At least I can prove that I can really make money before I can talk about other things!"

"This time I was thinking about just borrowing a large sum of money to buy a new sea fishing boat. I took this into consideration as well."

"As a man, the most important thing is to provide for your family."

"If you can't explain this, then everything else you say is fake!"

"This is definitely a great opportunity for me. As long as I can quickly pay back the borrowed money, start making money, and start my own business, I can prove that I am a man who can support my family."

"To be honest, it is not too difficult to make money now. The fishing spots of my family's fleet are very popular now."

"This is clearly a good thing that can make money, but I can't see it clearly. I don't even dare to buy a brand new large sea fishing boat. Brother Dahai, especially Sister Xiaoxiang, may not say anything, but they will definitely think that I am not good enough."

"Isn't it just a free opportunity to make money?"

"If you don't dare to do this, then what else can you say?"

Shi Zhongwei knew that this was definitely a good opportunity for him, even a free opportunity. To put it bluntly, anyone who had such a chance to participate in or join the fleet of his father and He Jian and Zhao Dahai could easily make money. If they didn't dare to gamble on such a free opportunity to make money, and didn't dare to buy a brand new and larger sea fishing boat, Zhao Dahai, especially Ding Ailian's cousin Ding Xiaoxiang, would definitely be very disappointed. Without this courage, it would not be easy to marry Ding Ailian, or even impossible.

"what!"

"That's right!"

"You are much more capable than your father. You think clearly and understand the truth behind this!"

"Row!"

"This is how we have to do it!"

Shi Guangming laughed out loud. Shi Zhongwei really saw this matter very clearly.
