As we all know, marine fish can't wait, they must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise they will soon die and stink, and they will not be able to sell at a high price, so the first thing fishermen do when they return to Hong Kong is to classify and sort out the fish they catch, separate the fish with large particles of sea salt and ice, and put them into standard fish boxes layer by layer, and finally drag them to the town to sell.

The ice comes from a very famous cave ice cellar nearby, the temperature in the depth of the ice cellar is extremely cold all year round, and all the water can quickly condense into ice, which is just a unique condition for fishermen to provide the ice needed for the freezing and preservation of marine fish, but most fishermen do not have so much energy to buy ice, so a new profession was born - ice carriers.

When the fishermen go out to fish, they go to the ice cellar to buy ice, and use horse-drawn carts or mule carts to drag the ice bricks wrapped in cotton wool to the port, waiting for the fishermen to return and sell them for a good price.

Later, someone sensed the business opportunity and simply became a fishmonger, collecting the fish directly from the fishermen's boats at a relatively reasonable price, and then he contributed to sorting, classifying, packing, transporting all the catches, and dragging them to the town or directly to the county town to sell them at a high price, so as to earn the profit difference in the middle.

In fact, throughout the ages, this model has existed in any industry, a product is born from the manufacturer, through the acquisition and transportation of contractors, and then to the major markets, that is, in the hands of dealers, and finally wholesale to the end of the small traders, which can be regarded as truly entering the market and selling to the public.

Throughout the process, all levels need profits, and this profit can only be compensated for by the price, either by driving down the price of fish sold by fishermen or by raising the price of fish that the public buys.

Li Baye has done his homework in this area before, and probably knows the fish market price in Qingfeng Town, the most popular small yellow croaker is basically 2 pennies a catty, and the price of small yellow croaker in Longyu Village is only a penny, the difference is doubled, most of the profits are earned by middlemen, the most bitter is the fishermen, not only to bear the risk of going to sea, but also to bear the cost of fishing boats and manpower, hard work in the end, no one else makes a lot of money.

The biggest purpose of the establishment of the Fishing Tyrant Alliance is actually to be a second-tier dealer, gather all the fishermen's catches, and directly negotiate the price with the fish market bosses in the town or county, eliminating unnecessary links in the middle, and truly maximizing profits.

Doing so will undoubtedly offend the interests of many fishmongers, and there will inevitably be some trouble in the future, and even resentment!

But, does Li Baye care?

What he cares about is that there are too few people who hate him! You must know that his current main quest is that he urgently needs hatred points, and he is not afraid that you will hate me, but he is afraid that you will not hate me!

Dragon Fishing Village is a well-known fishing village, every time you go to sea, there will be a lot of fishmongers who come to hear the news, just to grab the high-quality fish in the first time, transport it to the town and sell it, it is a profit.

But wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and when the trading volume of Longyu Village slowly reached an order of magnitude, it finally attracted the attention of big shots!

Then soon, the number of fishmongers in Longyu Village decreased rapidly, and now there are only two left, and Cao Daya in front of him is one of them!

As soon as Boss Cao approached and saw the red tails on the boat, he was amazed: "How many years, I haven't seen such a large batch of redtail fish for a long time, you are the stunned man...... No, no, no, it's Li Mengzhu! Li Mengzhu! Oh, look at my mouth...... The master of the Li League is really young and promising, he bought the old grandson's house and the dragon head boat at a young age, and now he is the master of the First League, what a young hero!

"Boss Cao, there is no need to say polite words, since you want to buy my redtail fish, it is better to say a price, and it is not impossible to sell it to you if it is suitable. Li Baye squinted, stretched out his right hand, and shook it tightly with the big black hand stretched out by the other party.

"Hiss!" The moment his hands were clenched, Cao Daya gasped, the smirk on his face could no longer be maintained, and instantly turned red, and at the same time, the muscles of his entire right arm were knotted, as if wrestling with a giant beast, and cold sweat trickled down.

"Boss Cao, are you okay?" The inhuman power came and went quickly, and a gentle voice sounded at the same time, making Cao Daya feel like he had returned from hell to reality in an instant.

It wasn't until Li Baye withdrew his hand that he shook his trembling right hand, quickly turned it behind him, and smiled embarrassedly but politely: "Master Li, good kung fu!"

Li Baye smiled back and made a gesture of please.

Then Cao Daya went on board to check a few boxes of redtail fish, because they were properly stored, they are still full of vitality, with an average length of more than a foot, and they are all high-quality adult live animals.

While watching, he nodded, thinking about it for a while, he stretched out five fingers to Li Baye.

"Five cents a pound, I want it all. ”

Without waiting for Li Baye to speak, the monkey jumped out first: "No! No! Five wen is too low, now the market price of redtail fish is 123 wen, and it is even more expensive in the county, and you can't buy it at all if it is less than 20 wen!"

For the monkey's snatching, Cao Daya directly showed his displeasure, he looked at Li Baye with questioning eyes, pointed at the monkey and said, "Who is this?"

"His name is Hou Feng, and he is the business manager of our alliance, and he can represent me. Li Baye responded domineeringly, invisibly giving the monkey a face.

Sure enough, as soon as the monkey heard the boss's words, his waist became more stiff, and he started the first business negotiation with great difficulty: "Boss Cao, business is not like this, you also know that today is the first time our alliance has gone to sea, as for our strength, I believe you have also seen it, if the price is right, there will be cooperation opportunities in the future, we have to think in the long run, we have to think in the long run, don't we? How?"

After speaking, the monkey glanced at Li Baye weakly, until the latter nodded slightly, and then he relaxed and concentrated on Cao Daya.

"Bawen? haha, brother, are you joking, these ten miles and eight towns, you can inquire, which one collects the redtail fish and receives this price? There must be one, my Cao Daya has nothing to say, you can call your father!" Regarding the monkey's proposal, Cao Daya didn't pay attention to it at all, and laughed wildly.

"What a fearlessness for the unknown!"

"After all, I am a small farmer in the countryside, so I can understand my limited knowledge......

Cao Daya's two followers also laughed.

"You!" the monkey was so excited that his face turned red after all, "That's ...... And how many do you come up with?"

"At most, there is not a single penny, and now the market is at this price, and you can do the same everywhere, even a shark can't make more than me." Cao Daya leaned on the fish box and dug his nostrils with his little finger.

Shark Guy, formerly known as Zhang Shark, is the other of the two major fishmongers in the fishing port of Longyu Village.

Li Baye has been watching coldly, and at this time he suddenly said in a deep voice: "Yes, deal!"

"Alliance leader, this ......" As soon as he heard that the boss was going to make a deal directly, the monkey was anxious, and Zhao Qinglong and the others looked at him puzzled.

Cao Daya squinted at the monkey with disdain, and said to Li Baye: "It's still the leader of the Li League...... happy."

"Monkey, since Boss Cao can't get a higher price, let's not deceive the customer, just sell him one at this price, and then send two smaller ones, and give these two brothers a taste, others in the province say that our Yuba Alliance doesn't understand etiquette and snub the guests!" Li Baye explained seriously.

The faces of the monkey and the others froze, and the next moment they all laughed uncontrollably.

This face is beaten hard enough!
