Chapter 39 Sick Shrimp, Bad Stories Spread Thousands of Miles(1/2)
"I will think about it."
Seeing Zhang Xuanxuan's resolute attitude, Ye Xiaofan stood up and left.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? I'll take you to the fish pond after dinner! Let's do a field trip."
"You will definitely feel that 500,000 yuan is worth it."
"We all live in the same village. If we are not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again."
Zhang Xuanxuan was a little hasty and put down the bowl and chopsticks.
Ye Xiaofan nodded, "That's true. Let's go see it later? It's getting dark."
"What's the matter? The big lights in my fish pond can blind your eyes."
Zhang Xuanxuan ate a few bites in a hurry and took Ye Xiaofan to the fish pond.
Li Guihua put down the bowl at this moment, with a complicated look on her face, and sighed.
The fish pond is located in the north of the village, just across a mountain from Ye Xiaofan's orchard.
The location is quite good.
Ye Xiaofan stood on the hill, overlooking the fish pond.
The fish pond is vast and bounded by field ridges. Several large and small fish ponds are clearly spaced and arranged neatly.
The outside is surrounded by a row of high bamboo fences to prevent outsiders from entering.
Zhang Xuanxuan took out the key, unlocked the simple fence, pushed the door open and entered.
He flipped the next switch.
In an instant, a big light near the wooden house lit up, illuminating a corner of the fish pond.
"I'm sorry, the other lamps are broken. I'll just find someone to fix them then."
Among a row of switches, Zhang Xuanxuan pressed only one and explained the reason naturally.
Ye Xiaofan didn't care at first, but when he got closer to the fish pond, his expression started to look weird.
Zhang Xuanxuan didn't notice and said proudly, "Look at the decoration and facilities of the fish pond. I have invested more than 100,000 yuan in it."
"You are an outsider and don't know the cost of these fish ponds, from the most basic land rent to manual excavation, shrimp seedlings, pesticides, etc."
"I spent about 100,000 yuan on crayfish seedlings alone, not including the cost of raising, feeding, and medicines in the past six months."
"Calculate for yourself how much money you need to invest in the early stage if you start from scratch!"
"You start from scratch, throw 500,000 into it, and you won't see any splash."
"..."
Zhang Xuanxuan introduced excitedly, with a hint of bewilderment in his words.
"Before you, a dozen people have already called to inquire!"
"Don't say that my brother doesn't take care of you. 500,000 yuan is already the lowest price. The price I offer to others is 550,000 yuan as the base price!"
"If you want it now, sign a contract and pay a deposit first. If it's late, it's gone!"
Zhang Xuanxuan's performance is actually somewhat contradictory.
On the one hand, he acted like he was not worried about selling, but on the other hand, he seemed to be urging Ye Xiaofan to sign the contract and pay for it quickly and settle it down.
Originally, Ye Xiaofan wouldn't think too much about it and just settled for safety.
It was just some things detected by his spiritual sense that allowed Ye Xiaofan to understand the real reason.
Ye Xiaofan ignored Zhang Xuanxuan, picked up the net leaning against the wooden fence, and stirred it back and forth along the bank.
"What are you doing! Don't mess around. The crayfish is too delicate. What if you kill it?" Zhang Xuanxuan's face suddenly changed and he stepped forward to stop it.
Ye Xiaofan had already lifted up the net. There were more than twenty languid crayfish hanging in the dark green net bag, and the shrimp shells were a pale white.
Even if they are hung on fishing nets, many of them are motionless and look as if they are dead.
Only by looking closely can you barely see them trembling slightly.
"Xuanxuan, people don't tell secrets. You are in a hurry to sell, not because you need money urgently."
"All the crayfish in this fish pond are sick! You are in a hurry to get rid of them!"
"Look, I just fished out a few dead shrimps."
"Does anyone buy sick shrimps like yours?"
Ye Xiaofan rolled his eyes at Zhang Xuanxuan and put the pole into his hand.
"No..." After being exposed, Zhang Xuanxuan's momentum suddenly weakened.
He didn't know how Ye Xiaofan could see the condition of the crayfish at once.
But it is true.
Zhang Xuanxuan has no way of denying it.
"It's just that the weather is hot and they are not in good condition. They are not sick!"
After hemming and hawing for a long time, Zhang Xuanxuan forced out a smile that was uglier than crying and explained.
Ye Xiaofan sneered, "Come on, I still want to hide it. You don't turn on the light because you are worried about dead shrimps floating in the water, which will affect the evaluation, right?"
"400,000 yuan!" Upon seeing this, Zhang Xuanxuan opened his palms and made a gesture, "The crayfish is just in poor condition, not sick! But there is still a small problem."
"We are from the same village, so we can give you more discounts."
"I'm not lying to you. Someone is really willing to pay a high price to buy it. I just didn't agree."
Zhang Xuanxuan calmed down and assumed a confident posture again.
"Come on, whoever wants it wants it."
Ye Xiaofan didn’t even believe a single punctuation mark!
If it weren't for his keen spiritual sense, he might really be tempted.
How many other villagers with little knowledge would be able to spot the fishy nature of crayfish?
Zhang Xuanxuan planned to trick people from the very beginning!
"I can pay up to 120,000 yuan for the fish pond, crayfish, and other facilities. Xuanxuan, think about it carefully. If they become more seriously ill, the price will be lowered further."
Ye Xiaofan turned around and walked out. Suddenly an idea crossed his mind. He paused and stated his intended price.
He is confident that the diseased shrimp in this fish pond can be cured.
But... don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind!
"Xiaofan, Xiaofan! 120,000 yuan is really too low! It's impossible to sell it to you!"
"Humph, forget it if you don't want it. If you sell it at a low price, who will sell it? Do you think you are the only one willing to accept it?"
Zhang Xuanxuan tried to persuade him again, but when he saw Ye Xiaofan's attitude, he immediately became angry.
There is more than one customer like this in the world.
People from other villages actually contacted him before, and although the price was lower than he expected, it was much higher than 120,000 yuan!
"how's it going?"
When he got home, Ye Tiezhu asked about the situation.
Ye Xiaofan shook his head, "The price has not been negotiated, and there is a big problem with his crayfish. Of course... I don't have to contract the fish pond."
Not to mention, 120,000 yuan is enough to build a new fish pond of the same area.
This money can also be used as preliminary investment in other industries.
His options are many.·
Ye Xiaofan has calmed down now, and his thoughts about Zhang Xuanxuan's fish pond are not so strong.
…
The next day, fish pond.
Zhang Xuanxuan came early in the morning and saw a lot of small things floating on the water.
These are all crayfish that he has worked hard to raise for more than half a year!
He is going to cry!
Since half a month ago, the crayfish have been sluggish and their health has been deteriorating.
At first he didn't take it seriously.
Until a week ago, the crayfish gradually began to die.
More people died today!
"What a damn expert."
Zhang Xuanxuan cursed loudly.
