Chapter 168 The beautiful blood-red Arowana

Due to their good quality, high survival rate, and lack of manipulation, the ornamental fish sold in the fire dragon aquarium store have won a good reputation among customers, and the number of repeat customers has also increased rapidly. So the business is much thriving compared to other peers in the market.

Of course, this degree of prosperity is far from being comparable with the steamed bun shop, after all, it is not a level of consumption.

In addition to the two high-grade gold over-the-back Arowana sold in the early stage, the current sales are mainly based on mid-range ornamental fish, supplemented by special nutritious water and small package fish feed, and at present, in addition to deducting the wages of rent, water and electricity personnel every month, there is also a net profit of about 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.

Of course, the prize money for winning the championship last time does not count.

However, this profit margin can not satisfy Luo Fatzi, although the consumer group of mid-range ornamental fish is large, but it is far less than the huge profits of high-grade ornamental fish, especially the best fish, which can almost be described as huge profits.

However, the number of high-grade ornamental fish is scarce, which is also something that cannot be rushed. And recently, I don't know what the reason is, the quality of ornamental fish in the wholesale market has generally declined, and it is even more difficult to buy good goods.

At noon on Saturday, after lunch, Luo Fatzi asked Li Fangcheng to go with him to load the goods, and Huzi stayed to see the store.

After a period of familiarity, the set of things in the store has been roughly understood, and it is basically not a problem to look at the store alone. In fact, this kid's brain is still quite smart, as long as he works hard, he can learn anything quickly.

Luo Fatzi didn't plan to go back to the Linguan Wholesale Market this time, and planned to go to the supplier introduced by Lao Wang to have a look.

The two walked out of the Yishun Garden Market, flagged down a taxi on the side of the road, and headed for the east of the city.

The address is printed on the business card, and on Songcheng Road in the east of the city, the name of the store is Xing Tianlin Ornamental Fish Wholesale Store, which is named after the owner of the shop.

There was no traffic jam on the road today, which was smooth, but the car drove for about 50 minutes to reach Songcheng Road, which is not close.

The taxi pulled over at the intersection and Luo Fatzi and Li Fangcheng got off here, intending to go in and look for it slowly.

This area is almost also a junction of urban and rural areas, and the buildings, facilities, and shops are a little messy, and no one cares about all kinds of street vendors, which is far less neat and tidy than Antai Street.

Luo Fatzi held a business card in his hand, counted the house numbers, and finally found the Xingtianlin ornamental fish wholesale store at the intersection of an alley on Songcheng Road.

The store is medium-sized and has a modest décor, and if it weren't for the roof sign with the fish motif, it wouldn't look much different from other grocery stores.

"That's it, it's really hard to find." Luo Fatzi said, stepped forward and pushed open the door of the store and walked in.

Li Fangcheng then followed.

The interior of the store is very simple, with white walls, gray floor tiles, square plaster, micro-orifice ceilings, and the main furnishings are those glass fish tanks of different sizes placed against the wall.

The air conditioner was turned on in the house, and it was chilly

"You two, please take a look." The curtain of the inner room was lifted, and a thin young man came out to greet the guests.

Luo Fatzi nodded and swept around the store first, the golden dragon, the silver dragon, the flower arhat, the blood parrot, the colorful fairy, the three, the seven-star knife, the map, and many varieties are also in the middle range.

"We were introduced by Boss Wang of the Xiaoyao Aquarium Shop, are you Boss Xing here?" Luo Fat said to the man.

The man nodded and went into the back room.

A short time later, a burly, bald man in his forties, with a pair of attractive ears, appeared in the store.

"You are friends with Wang Haichang, welcome. I am Xing Tianlin. Boss Xing stretched out his right hand and shook it with Fat Luo.

Luo Fatzi introduced himself, saying that he also opened an ornamental fish retail store, next to Lao Wang's store.

"Boss Xing, it's not easy for you to find here, the location is a bit off." Luo Fatzi thinks that the location of the store is still very important.

"It's a little bit off, but the rent of a good place is expensive. My business here is mainly supported by friends, and I don't need such a good place. Hehe, it's not me boasting, my store's reputation in the circle is still good. By the way, what kind of fish do you want to buy? Boss Xing said with a smile, with a bit of smugness in his demeanor. …,

"I mainly want to get some silver dragons and blood parrots, and there are also red dragons, do you have them here?" Luo Fatzi asked, he had just looked at all the fish tanks in the store, and he didn't find any red arowana.

"The first two are easy to say, since you are friends of Boss Wang, I will definitely give you a preferential price. As for the red dragons, I also have them here, but there are not many of them, and there is little room for choice. It's all in the backyard. Boss Xing said enthusiastically.

"Oh, it's good to have it, take us to see it." Luo Fatzi knows that those who sell high-end ornamental fish are similar to those who sell jewelry, they all put good things behind and don't show them easily.

"Okay, then come with me. By the way, I'm the most famous flower arhat here, do you want to pick a few to take away? Boss Xing introduced while leading the way.

"Hua Luohan, I know, there are quite a lot of them in Lao Wang's shop. But I don't like it, it's like a big lump in my head. Li Fangcheng shook his head again and again when he heard this, he and Huzi didn't like Hua Luohan, but this was the main product of Lao Wang's store, and there were many people who bought it.

"Hehe, this is everyone's aesthetic is different. It doesn't matter, just like it. Boss Xing smiled and expressed his understanding.

The three of them walked to the backyard with their front and back feet, which was not a dirty and messy yard as Luo Fatzi imagined, but was well organized, with various potted plants placed in a staggered manner, as well as stone tables and stone benches, and a water stone more than two meters high was placed in the corner of the courtyard wall. It really looks a little laid-back and cozy, which shows that the owner is still quite good at enjoying life.

Boss Xing took Luo Fatzi and the others into the room on the west side of the courtyard, and there were three large fish tanks in the room, and the fish in the tanks were obviously higher grade than those in the front hall.

In one of the tanks, there are seven or eight red arowanas more than 30 centimeters long, with warm lights, the red of the body looks very bright.

"Oh, that's all for the red arowana, let's see if there is any eye fit." Boss Xing pointed to the fish tank with his finger.

"Are these fish all natural, I mean, haven't been fed any hormones or anything." Luo Fatzi asked, he was also bitten by a snake for one year, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years. Now whenever he sees a brightly colored fish, he mutters in his heart.

"Don't worry, the biggest feature of me here is that I never do anything on the fish, and I can be whatever I want, which is also the guarantee of my credibility in the circle." Boss Xing said in a resolute tone.

Luo Fatzi and Li Fangcheng walked to the fish tank together, bowed down, and looked carefully.

The shape of these red arowanas is good, smooth, and there are no obvious defects, and according to the method taught by Lao Wang, nothing wrong was found.

It's just that the red doesn't seem to be strong enough, and the red color is already very good for the general customer, but it can't meet the requirements of Ren Linsheng's friend Mr. Chen.

And based on the experience of this time, it seems that the special water has far less influence on the body color of the red arowana than it does on the luster of the scales of the golden arowana. Therefore, the red arowana with a positive red body color can never turn blood red.

Fat Luo shook his head and sighed slightly.

"Fat brother, your vision is so high, this level of red dragon is not eye-catching?" Boss Xing was a little surprised, his red dragons were said to be not low in quality, but he didn't expect the other party to be still dissatisfied.

"Boss Xing, it's not that I have a high vision, these red dragons are still very good, and if they are displayed in our store, they are good enough. It's just that there is a big customer who has entrusted us to find a superb blood red dragon or pepper red arowana, and it has been dragging people for a long time. Luo Fatzi explained.

"Oh, I see, but the breeding of red arowana is very difficult in itself, and the good ones are even better selected from the fry. Therefore, high-grade red dragons on the market have never been rare, and they have to pay attention to fate. Boss Xing explained.

Luo Fatzi nodded to show his understanding, in fact, not to mention the red arowana, no matter what good things are, they are very rare.

The tank of red arowana in front of him did not meet the requirements, it could only be regarded as an orange red dragon, and there were a few in the same type of store, so Luo Fatzi didn't plan to buy it, he turned to look at the colorful angelfish in another fish tank.

"Boss Xing, are there no other red dragons?" Li Fangcheng was unwilling and continued to ask.

"It's not that it's nothing, it's just a remnant." Boss Xing hesitated for a moment and said. …,

"Oh, let's take a look, it's good to have a long insight." Li Fangcheng became interested all of a sudden, listening to Boss Xing's tone, he should be a good fish.

"If you want to see it, it's a pity for a fish." Boss Xing shook his head, his tone full of regret.

Luo Fatzi also felt that there was a door when he heard it, and he usually spoke in this tone, there should be something good, so he urged Boss Xing to take it and take a look.

Boss Xing had no choice but to turn around and go out, and Luo Fatzi and the two followed.

I came to a room next to it, which was a storeroom, and there were a lot of glass, filter pumps, plastic water pipes, and so on. There was a medium-sized glass fish tank on the table in the corner, the lights were not turned on, and the light in the room was not very good, but I faintly saw a small figure swimming slowly in the tank.

Boss Xing stepped forward and turned on the fish tank lights.

Wow, Luo Fatzi only felt that his eyes were bright, what a beautiful fish.

In front of the simple black background, I saw a red arowana more than 40 centimeters in size, with a beautiful body and a streamlined shape, swimming in a soothing and calm manner, with an extraordinary temperament.

In particular, the beautiful red color really shines in the warm light.

It's so dazzling red, it's really authentic blood red. Luo Fatzi, who has seen countless pictures, is ecstatic in his heart.

Li Fangcheng's face was also shocked, he had also done a lot of classes during this time, and it was no problem to distinguish between good fish and lai fish.

However, when the red arowana turned around, the two audience members let out a regretful sigh in unison.

I saw that the other side of the body of this beautiful red arowana, near the tail, was missing four or five scales, and the newly grown fish scales were thin and uneven, far less thick than the original, and the color was dull, looking like a large patch of psoriasis. Very ugly.

If you look closely, you can see that the dorsal fin of the fish is also missing.

It's like a beautiful work of art being destroyed, and it's a sigh of relief.

"This fish was a year-old shipment that cost a lot of money at the time. Unexpectedly, I got a serious illness soon, and I was treated continuously for more than a month, and the most expensive imported anti-inflammatory drugs were also used, and finally the disease was cured, but these body surface damage remained and could not be repaired. I've looked for a lot of masters, but there's no way. Boss Xing introduced the experience of the red arowana, and his face was gloomy.

Luo Fatzi's brain was nervously running the analysis at this time, and it was rare to encounter a red dragon of sufficient grade, and it was a pity to let it go. But the damage to the body surface of this fish is also serious enough, and if you buy it back, it can't repair it on its own, and its commercial value is extremely limited.

And this fish has been raised for a year, and it may not be reliable to hope for its own regeneration and recovery ability.

What about special water? According to previous experience, the special water in the store can improve the physique, color and growth of ornamental fish, but it is a head-scratching question whether the current situation has the ability to promote repair and how much capacity it has.

Li Fangcheng was obviously thinking about the same problem, he looked at Luo Fatzi with his eyes, waiting for the other party to come up with an idea.

It's almost a gamble, but it's a rare opportunity.

"Boss Xing, we want to buy this fish, you can make a price." Luo Fatzi gritted his teeth and made up his mind, it's a big deal to pay again.

"Do you really want to buy it? To tell you the truth, I have tried my best to cure it, so you have to think it through. Boss Xing was a little surprised, such customers are rare.

Luo Fatzi nodded affirmatively and insisted on letting the other party offer.

"Well, I've made it clear to you all the circumstances, since you insist. That's good, twenty-two thousand. Boss Xing quoted the price.

Luo Fatzi has not checked the information and done his homework during this time, he knows that if there is no defect, the market price of the red arowana in front of him should be quite expensive, and Boss Xing did not overreport, leaving the two thousand fractions must have made him bargain, in fact, buying things is like this, no matter how much, the buyer can always feel comfortable in his heart, which is also marketing common sense.

Sure enough, Fat Luo counteroffered 20,000 yuan, and Boss Xing immediately agreed.

So, Boss Xing called a guy to take out the red arowana and bagged it for oxygen. In the process, the fish struggled and looked vigorous, which shows that in addition to the damage to the body surface, its own health should be fine.

Next, Luo Fatzi and the two walked back to the front hall, bought eight silver arowana and twelve blood parrots, and bought a pair of map fish with them.

Seeing that the business was not small, Boss Xing was happy in his heart, and took the initiative to give away two three-room fish.

In the end, Boss Xing personally sent the two out of the house and said that he hoped they would come again.

Luo Fatzi and Li Fangcheng each carried two water bags, walked out of Songcheng Road directly, stopped a taxi, and returned with a full load.
