Chapter 355

What medicine is Wu An selling from his gourd? How could he actually agree to that?

Jinghe is clearly pushing his luck.

His boss, constrained by face, couldn't say anything; if Jinghe buys the large yellow fish, how will his boss then sell the large yellow fish by secret auction?

This breaks the rules.

Moreover, it's a huge blow to Gao Qiangqi's reputation.

He thought Wu An hadn't considered that much, so he wanted to speak up to remind him.

Just as he was about to walk over to Wu An, Gao Qiangqi grabbed him.

A Jin was stunned: "Boss, why are you stopping me?"

Gao Qiangqi said calmly: "This isn't for you to interfere with; let A An handle it."

A Jin worried: "But..."

"Don't trust A An?" Gao Qiangqi laughed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, A Jin quickly took out a lighter and lit it, exhaled smoke, Gao Qiangqi continued: "No matter what, we can handle it."

A Jin didn't say anything else.

Jinghe's eyes flickered; he wondered if this smelly fisherman wasn't just lion-sized asking price, hesitated a while, then said: "What price are you asking?"

Wu An said: "Ten thousand per jin."

"How much?" Jinghe stared, jumped back a step like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and shouted excitedly: "You're asking even more than a lion's big mouth!"

Actually.

It's not that there's no large yellow fish at ten thousand per jin; you need a fish weighing several dozen jin to fetch that price.

He didn't think such a small fishing boat could possibly net such a large large yellow fish; ordinary large yellow fish only weigh a few jin.

No matter how precious the large yellow fish, spending tens of thousands to buy one—do they really think Jinghe is a fool with too much money?

Everyone laughed.

Wu An verbally agreed to sell, but actually he was just talking off the cuff.

A Jin laughed.

Gao Qiangqi smoked, his expression unchanged, seeming not at all surprised.

Wu An shrugged and said: "Here, the retail price is this."

"If you want to buy bypassing Qiang Ge, what can I do?"

"Do you think I'm screwing you over? If you insist on thinking that, there's nothing I can do."

"If you think so, then it is."

"If you can't afford it, just get lost."

He directly turned up the intensity.

These scumbag quotes can make 99% of women blush.

Seeing Jinghe so angry he can't catch his breath, it seems just as effective on men.

Gao Qiangqi does business; he can't just turn hostile outright. As a fisherman who's always at sea, he doesn't need to give anyone face—if he offends, he offends.

Wu An clapped and praised.

Onlookers were also just watching the fun, laughing loudly.

Not to mention Gao Qiangqi and Wu An; even the onlookers found Jinghe unpleasant, didn't know what was going on, just seeing his behavior made them feel uneasy.

But they couldn't pinpoint exactly what was off.

It's just an innate aversion; looking at him makes one angry for no reason.

Wu An asked: "Want it or not?"

Jinghe cursed: "I want fuck..."

Wu An's face darkened: "I'll give you a chance to answer again."

"I... I... don't want!" Jinghe shouted, face flushed red, looking at the surrounding troublemakers glaring like tigers.

Wu An leaned in to speak to A Qing's ear.

A Qing smirked, hurried back, and soon came with Mei Wu pulling a large fish basket; the light hit it, and it instantly gleamed gold.

Holy shit, a large yellow fish!

This golden gleam is too beautiful.

Hiss... such a large yellow fish must weigh over ten jin!

For such a large wild large yellow fish, a price of ten thousand per jin isn't outrageous.

Everyone was dazzled by the golden gleam of the large yellow fish and shouted excitedly.

The bosses, including Wu An, stared at the large yellow fish with shining eyes.

Jinghe rubbed his eyes, looking shocked.

So this smelly fisherman really is quoting a reasonable price?

Wrong.

Large yellow fish come in big and small; if he agrees, this kid will surely bring out a one-jin large yellow fish.

Damn it, I've been completely caught!

After Jinghe figured it out, his gaze at Wu An grew more ferocious, and he realized Wu An had no intention of selling him the large yellow fish.

Wu An looked at Gao Qiangqi.

Gao Qiangqi and A Jin walked over; A Jin weighed the large yellow fish: 19.5 jin.

This weight drew a round of astonishment from everyone; many fishermen looked at Wu An with envy—this really is striking it rich.

Gao Qiangqi coughed, saying, "We won't waste more words, still the Elder rule."

"Starting bid 100,000, highest price 300,000."

Those who want to participate in the secret auction can bid within this range; the highest bidder wins.

A Jin handed out writing boards and oil pens to everyone, and Jing He also reached out to ask: "Mine?"

A Jin turned his head to look at Gao Qiangqi.

Gao Qiangqi sneered, "Chief Jing, if you go directly to the fishermen to sell, that's equivalent to automatically withdrawing from my business partners."

"So, you don't have the qualifications to participate in the bidding."

"I suggest you, better to directly negotiate with the fishermen."

"Don't worry, I promise not to stop you."

Jing He's face turned extremely ugly, he turned his head to look at Wu An, and Wu An said with a smile: "Chief Jing, it's because you didn't want it that I gave it to Qiang Ge."

"You gave it up yourself, I'm also helpless."

"I gave you a chance, you're useless, can't blame me."

Everyone laughed loudly, then each secretly wrote their bids on the writing boards; soon, they revealed the boards, and a boss bought them for 220,000.

Jing He trembled all over.

These two brothers teamed up, treating him like a monkey to play with.

But he actually fell for it, the more he thought, the angrier he got, the angrier he got, the more he thought.

Besides this one large yellow fish over ten catties, the other large yellow fish are fairly ordinary; the heaviest is just over five catties, the lightest only a little over one catty.

Most are about two catties, basically selling for two thousand to three thousand.

This price is lower than the retail price, but higher than the purchase price.

Gao Qiangqi also slightly increased the intensity, telling everyone that such Large yellow fish are scarce, mobilizing everyone's bidding enthusiasm; occasionally they could fetch a higher price.

Gradually.

Halfway through the auction, Boss Wu and his group were already satisfied, no longer participating in the bidding; instead, some passersby came to join the fun, causing the secret auction site to remain lively.

"Come to think of it, there are still plenty of rich people these days."

Two or three thousand yuan—whether that's a lot or a little, for most workers it's a month's salary, but for some rich people it might just be the monthly interest on money kept in the bank.

Interest can be continuous, but such fresh wild Large yellow fish are not often seen; some got the news and had people buy on their behalf, while others drove over directly.

Likewise, Wu An and his boat also just gained a lot of attention.

Large yellow fish were being moved out like they were free, someone watched from start to finish, the auction lasted an hour and still hadn't ended.

Some people were tired of watching and didn't want to leave, but they insisted on holding back to see how many Large yellow fish were on the boat; another day over drinks, this could be used as a topic to accompany alcohol.

Wu An was under great pressure.

The attention has been drawn.

But he couldn't stand so many people pointing at him, so he simply hid in the boat's canopy and stayed out of sight.

As the number of people participating in the bidding dwindled, A Jin reminded Gao Qiangqi, and upon looking to the right outskirts, he saw that Jing He's grandson had not left yet.
