Chapter 8: Selling Dragons
In the small hotel next to Liancheng Station, Li Jing returned from the future world in shock, still holding a red arowana in his hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yes, he once again fled in front of the giant southern snake. When he saw the giant southern snake jumping out of the water and staring at him tightly, without waiting for it to react, Li Jing decisively used the stone tree to withdraw from the future world, at this time the giant southern snake was estimated to be hysterical, and then looked for those carp on the bridge to vent his anger.
The Fulong in his hand began to struggle because of the lack of water, and Li Jing hurriedly took it to the bathroom and filled the wash basin with water. However, Fulong was too big, and the washbasin could only put down part of his body to relieve his dehydration, but he was still struggling uneasily. This is not a solution, even if it does not die, injuring a scale will greatly reduce the price of Fulong.
Li Jing was also a little anxious, and finally simply plugged the floor drain with a towel and soaked the bathroom with water. The toilet space is not large, and the depth of the water does not need to cover the fish, and half water is more suitable for Fulong to absorb oxygen.
But this is only a temporary solution after all, no matter how strong the vitality of this Fulong is, it can't hold on for too long in such an environment, not to mention that it is not easy to sell it, it cannot be done in a moment and one day, unless it is sold cheaply. Therefore, it is especially important to purchase storage equipment.
A large plastic bucket, an oxygen machine, and small loaches to feed. After finishing all this, Li Jing had the heart to think about the sale.
"There is no professional flower and bird market in Liancheng at all." Li Jing groaned. Liancheng is just a small county town on the eighteenth line, and this kind of consumer demand is not large, after all, not everyone can spend hundreds or even tens of thousands of yuan to buy arowfish to raise, and the cost of raising dragons is also a big expense, and ordinary people don't want to spend this spare money.
However, now is the era of the Internet, and you can't just look at offline, you can also find Arowana buyers online.
"The Top of the Arowana!" Li Jing quickly found a professional Arowana forum, which is the most well-known aquarium pet forum in China, gathering many Arowana players.
But Li Jing was not in a hurry to post for sale, but first browsed the above posts, especially the division of Arowana grades. Although they are all dragons, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the cheap ones can be bought for a few hundred dollars, but the expensive ones are priceless, with hundreds of thousands of millions.
Li Jing found that this thing was similar to an antique, the price was inflated, and there was no score.
"The first thing you can confirm is the red arowana."
"Physical deformity, that is, disability, confirmed to be Fulong."
"Finally, look at the condition, huh...... Overall consistent with the characteristics of the Blood Red Dragon. ”
The so-called Fulong is actually a disabled red arowana, but because of the scarcity of the number, plus the blessing of the dragon, it is precious. The red dragon breed grade is divided into pepper red, blood red, orange red, etc., although the blood red dragon is not the most expensive, but it is also very high, and the ordinary blood red dragon of thirty centimeters also costs four or five thousand yuan, which is very expensive. And his dragon is at least eighty centimeters long, and it is a giant dragon.
Li Jing concluded that this Fulong is absolutely the best.
But there are too many factors that determine how much the arowana can be worth, and it cannot be assessed by looking at the surface information, so Li Jing has no bottom in his heart.
I found a digital camera, carefully took a few photos of Fulong, deleted it several times, and then registered an account in Longdian, and then posted in several sections at the same time:
"Millions of top-grade blood red Fulong transfers, price negotiable."
Paste a photo, as well as a basic introduction such as body length and weight, and post it.
It's undoubtedly a very cheesy title, but it's very attractive, and the dragon friends in the forum will click in to see what is going on when they look at this post, whether they are curious or disapproving.
"The landlord wants to go crazy for money, right? A crippled dragon also wants a million!! ”
"The Fulong King is very domineering and in good condition, but there are no deformed dragons in China, let alone a million, no one wants 100,000 yuan."
"Although I have always disliked Fulong, this Fulong King is really domineering! Especially the blood-red dragon scales, it's just amazing! That's cool! ”
"Envy the landlord's dragon, it's a Tyrannosaurus rex, we will avoid it...... But can't afford it, saliva. ”
Fulong is more expensive than ordinary dragons, which Li Jing found directly from the Internet, but he didn't expect it to be unpopular in China, domestic Arowana players prefer sound Arowana, which is related to aesthetics, which undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on him. Fortunately, there are still some people who like Fulong, and his Fulong is not the same as ordinary Fulong.
He found some photos of Fulong in the Dragon Crazy Forum, and found that these could not be compared with him at all, he was really domineering, the posture of the Dragon King, and most of the others gave people the feeling of disability, and it was no wonder that so many people would be disgusted.
So, the next thing is to wait for the buyer to come to the door!
Li Jing went out to eat a fast food and came back, and found that the post had been followed more than 100 times. Although you can see the comments of 'not worth the price' from time to time, most of them are exclamations, and it is obvious that Fulong still shocks many dragon friends. Seeing this situation, Li Jing was relieved. However, he read all the posts one by one, but none of them said they wanted to buy them.
Of course, Li Jing also understood that the main reason was the high price, but he was still a little disappointed and nervous.
"I only have 20,000 yuan, and I agree to our interview."
Finally, someone made a bid, but it was too low as expected, and Li Jing did not rush to reply, so he waited until the evening.
At this time, the post has already made headlines, and the popularity is even greater, there are countless onlookers, and there are more and more bidders, but most of them are hovering in the range of fifty or sixty thousand, and Li Jing still needs to screen whether there is any purchasing power. Spending 50,000 or 60,000 yuan to buy a fish is definitely not something that ordinary dragon friends can do, although most of them are worth a lot of money.
In addition, he has to rule out that the distance is too far, the equipment here is too poor, he can't guarantee Fulong's survival, and he can't wait too long, and this province and neighboring provinces and cities are in the priority range.
"Is the landlord also from Liancheng? I'm the owner of Liancheng Gelin Flower and Bird Shop, and I want to buy your Fulong, but can I come to my door to see it before determining the price? ”
A dragon friend whose ID is 'Gelin Flower and Bird Shop' suddenly sent a private message.
Coincidentally, there is actually a dragon friend of Liancheng. But at the same time, Li Jing also gave birth to a sense of vigilance. After all, Fulong is worth a lot of money, and it is normal to be spied on, and his nerves have been tense since the accident, and no one believes it.
opened the homepage of this dragon friend, and saw that this was an account that had been registered for three years, and he had made a lot of posts before, most of which were to promote the pets in his store, involving more miscellaneous, flowers and plants, birds and beasts, and goldfish, but it was enough to prove that the other party's identity was true, and the other party did not have time to set up such a bureau.
After thinking about it, Li Jing replied: "Yes, please go to the train station, I will wait for you at the hotel next to me." ”
"What's your phone number?" The other party immediately replied to the question.
Li Jing's mobile phone had already fallen into the water, and he didn't dare to use the card, so he could only give the landline number of the other party's hotel room.
It was only half an hour before the phone rang, and the other party was directly asked to come to the door of the hotel to meet.
When Li Jing went downstairs, a middle-aged man in jeans and a plaid shirt was already wandering at the door, looking inside from time to time, and when he saw Li Jing coming out, he kept staring at him, and he couldn't help but look at him.
"You are the ...... of Ge Lin," Li Jing asked tentatively.
"I am the owner of the Gelin Flower and Bird Shop, surnamed Zhang, and the little brother is the owner of Fulong?" Boss Zhang asked eagerly.
"Yes, I am, Boss Zhang just calls me Xiao Li." Li Jing didn't make much introduction.
But Boss Zhang didn't call him that, but said, "Brother Li, let's go see the dragon now?" ”
"Okay, Boss Zhang come with me." Li Jing led ahead.
"Good dragon! Good dragon! More domineering and beautiful than the photos! Boss Zhang kept exclaiming on the big bucket, but complained: "How can you find a bucket to raise, if you hold back the problem, the loss will be great." ”
This is not the first time he has complained about this, and he began to worry and fear when he entered the door, such a blessed dragon king, it is too embarrassing to be supported in such a place.
Li Jing just smiled and didn't answer, and then asked bluntly: "Boss Zhang, since Fulong is satisfied, how much can you pay?" ”
Hearing the price, Boss Zhang immediately recovered his normal color, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you ask, where did this dragon be invited?" ”
"Caught in the reservoir." Li Jing replied without thinking.
"What?" Boss Zhang was taken aback, the reservoir is a hidden dragon? And it's such a dragon of good quality, it's incredible. But looking at the color of Fulong's scales and its wildness, it really doesn't look like a farmed arowana, so I believe it a little at the moment, and then Yan admired: "Brother Li's luck, it is estimated that there is no one!" ”
Boss Zhang does not have too many doubts about the origin of the arowana, although the arowana should not appear in the reservoir, but people often send ornamental fish to the reservoir rivers and rivers to release, and the wild arowana is a saying.
Li Jing just chuckled.
Boss Zhang pondered for a while, and then said: "I don't have much money in my hands, but I can't fool you, 80,000 yuan, I invited this dragon!" ”
To be honest, this price is not low, and the highest bid on the forum is only more than 80,000 yuan, and he is still a dragon friend in the capital. But Li Jing knew from Boss Zhang's reaction that this dragon could actually be sold at a higher price.
Seeing Li Jing groaning, Boss Zhang helplessly explained: "If it is placed in a first-tier city, coupled with such a connection, this Fulong may be able to sell hundreds of thousands or even more." But this is Liancheng, even if I don't have this connection, I can't take it around, 80,000 yuan is already the limit of what I can bear. You have to know that this requires too much risk, if something goes wrong, I will have to lose miserably, even if it changes hands smoothly, it is estimated that I can make 30,000 or 20,000 yuan. ”
