Chapter 356: Success lies in secrecy, failure in leaked words

Gao Qiangqi asked: "How many large yellow fish are left?"

A Jin said: "13!"

Wu An, this trip really made a fortune, actually encountering a school of large yellow fish.

Not to mention others, even I am jealous.

Gao Qiangqi also got happy.

Wu An made a fortune; he also got rich following him.

Upon learning there were still 13 large yellow fish, his eyes gleamed as he schemed; Jing He still refused to leave, apparently truly wanting the large yellow fish.

He immediately announced, "The large yellow fish are running out!"

Jing He, who had been watching from the outskirts, could no longer hold back, rushed over and shouted: "Two-jin large yellow fish, I want five, each at three thousand!"

This price is somewhat high.

Gao Qiangqi was about to agree, but he also vented his anger; this business still needs to be done.

Besides.

Running a business, there's no point in falling out over money.

The purchase price of the large yellow fish is high; ultimately the profit goes to Wu An.

Just as he was about to speak, Wu An emerged from the boat's canopy, smiling and saying: "Chief Jing, you haven't left yet."

Looks like you really want the large yellow fish.

Tsk tsk, as the saying goes, a gentleman helps others succeed; if I didn't sell to you, that would be not doing things.

Jing He's throat moved, he swallowed saliva, his eyes widened, pupils slightly trembling, his flustered expression was quite something.

Looking at Wu An was like looking at a venomous snake spitting out its tongue.

It's over.

I've been manipulated again.

Wu An shouted back: "Are there still many large yellow fish?"

Mei Wu replied: "Not many left!"

Wu An made a "tsk tsk tsk" twice, then said: "Chief Jing, we do business honestly; the large yellow fish are scarce, as the saying goes, rarity makes value."

This price cannot be sold at the usual rate.

You understand, right?

Jing He cursed in his heart, "I understand, damn it," gritted his teeth and said: "Twenty thousand, I'll take five!"

Wu An said: "Past this village, there is no such shop."

Jing He shouted: "Thirty thousand!"

Wu An coughed once, then said: "Chief Jing, this premium is too much, isn't it?"

I'm worried, what if you turn around and sue me for extortion?

This fish…

Jing He hurriedly shouted: "I can write you a certificate stating I bought the fish willingly at a high price!"

Deal.

Wu An had A Jin prepare paper and pen.

One hand exchanges money, the other exchanges goods.

Jing He had his subordinates load the large yellow fish onto the vehicle; upon looking back, he saw Mei Wu and A Qing unloading two more baskets of large yellow fish, and he shouted in anger: "Aren't there not many left?"

Wu An shrugged: "Just a few fish, compared to my boatload of large yellow fish, is that considered many?"

"You… you… fine." Jing He, angry, led his people away.

Gao Qiangqi smoked and watched.

A An, this went a bit too far.

Hehe, I'm just a fisherman, what do I have to fear? Qiang Ge, just ask if you're satisfied.

Satisfying. Gao Qiangqi put his arm around his shoulders: "Thanks for helping brother this time, let's go find Qin Zong for drinks."

Wu An shouted: "First settle the accounts."

Once the accounts are settled, I'll split the money, then we can drink heartily.

Gao Qiangqi smiled: "These two days you've really made a fortune, luck, tsk tsk, forget it, I won't say more; saying too much makes it boring for me."

Let's go, first return to the market.

Wu An alone followed him back; Wu Ping and Mei Wu really couldn't hold out, they each called a vehicle right after disembarking and went home directly, while Lao Fu Tou and A Qing were still cleaning the boat.

Wu An had originally said forget it, anyway he still needs to go out to sea at dawn tomorrow.

Lao Fu Tou was unhappy.

This fishing boat needs regular cleaning; once lazy, twice lazy, and it won't be long before the boat is ruined.

……

They arrived at the office.

Wu An drank strong tea, his whole body slumped in the boss's chair.

Gao Qiangqi clacked away on the calculator, Wu An listening found it quite interesting; the longer the clacking, the more money there is.

He took a sip of tea and asked: "How are the nine-section shrimp sold?"

Live shrimp 160 per jin, fresh-chilled 135 per jin. Gao Qiangqi raised his head, glanced at him, and said: "Large yellow fish and dragon fish are the same; I take a ten percent cut."

Wu An nodded; as for the other miscellaneous fish, shrimp and crabs, etc., he didn't bother to ask, since the list would have them anyway; he mentioned the matter of the crab pots being stolen.

This matter the police will investigate, I can also keep an eye out for you…… Gao Qiangqi said up to this point, noticing Wu An's expression was off, asked: "Do you have any leads?"

Wu An nodded and said: "The suspicious person is Ma Weiqun from the neighboring town."

I'm just suspecting, I have no evidence.

So, I haven't told anyone but you.

Gao Qiangqi put down the calculator and asked, "Are you still planning to resolve this through the police?"

The final wrap-up will definitely involve the police. Wu An smiled and said, "You say, how could the people from the neighboring town have set their sights on me?"

Gao Qiangqi blinked: "You mean someone's pulling the strings?"

I just guessed that, but I racked my brain and still couldn't think of who would do this to me." Wu An paused, then said, "You know me—I've always been on good terms with everyone.

Gao Qiangqi smiled, raised his hand and tapped him. If it weren't for today's Jinghe incident, he would have believed it. He picked up the cigarette on the table, lit one, stuck it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Then let's ask—whether someone is behind this pulling the strings, or that guy saw an opportunity for profit."

Wu An nodded and said, "I just want you to arrange people to keep an eye on me."

"No good, your approach is too passive." Gao Qiangqi shook his head and said, "If Ma Weiqun backs off and stops targeting you, watching him all your life would be pointless."

"Ma Weiqun has crew on his ship, right?"

"Find one and ask."

Wu An hesitated: "Qiang Ge..."

"Don't worry, I'll personally arrange it—just find someone to ask questions, I won't let things turn against us." Gao Qiangqi finished his cigarette, stubbed it out, and said, "I'll have this sorted for you in the next two or three days."

"If it really is Ma Weiqun, what do you plan to do?"

Wu An said, "Catch the thief, catch the stolen goods."

"By then, we'll definitely need Qiang Ge's help."

Gao Qiangqi waved his hand: "Let's not stand on ceremony."

"By the way, don't talk about this with others."

"Success comes from secrecy, failure from leaked words."

"Eh, okay." Wu An chuckled and asked, "Qiang Ge, you really graduated from junior high?"

Gao Qiangqi nodded: "No kidding, why ask that?"

Wu An said, "I feel you're more cultured than I am."

Gao Qiangqi smiled: "I just read a bit when I have nothing to do; it's not really a hobby, I just think the book says good things, and even learning a little is useful."

Wu An gave a thumbs up.

Gao Qiangqi lowered his head, looked at the calculator, and glared: "Damn, where did I get to in my calculations?"

"No choice, Gao Qiangqi grabbed the calculator again and tapped 'pa pa pa' to start over."

"After a while."

"Only then did Gao Qiangqi work out the total price; looking at the numbers on the calculator, even he couldn't help but gasp, and Wu An leaned over curiously to look."

"Seeing those numbers, he couldn't help but widen his eyes."

"Qiang Ge, no mistake?"

"If there's a mistake, it's on Brother Ge."

"Haha, that works."
