At 2:30 in the afternoon, Li Fangcheng was still looking after the Fire Dragon Aquarium store. He was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt, a pair of shorts, and a pair of plastic sandals. The temperature outside was very high, but due to the close height of the indoor fish hall,
It's eight meters high and has good ventilation, so even though there's no central air conditioning, it doesn't feel too hot when you stay inside.
This is very beneficial for ornamental fish, and the store does not need to specifically consider cooling the fish tank.
Business has been good in the past two days, with a total of seven blood parrots and two silver arowanas sold.
The silver arowana, like the golden arowana, belongs to the family Osteopharyngeus. Although it is not very expensive and its price is much lower than that of the golden arowana and the red arowana, it is very popular among mid-range ornamental fish enthusiasts. The silver arowana is large in size and long in length.
They are fast, have a smooth and graceful body, and are covered in silver scales. If you keep one or two at home, the ornamental value is not low.
The silver arowana from the Fire Dragon Aquarium Shop is in better condition. The fish scales are wide and neat, close to the body, and reflect pure silver without impurities. A silver dragon over 30 centimeters long sells for more than 1,000 yuan, and is very popular with customers.
They are welcome.
Of course, the market will always be like this, and mid-range products will always sell better than high-end products.
Seeing that there was no business in the store for the time being, Li Fangcheng took out a night school textbook from the cabinet and started reading. He had been going to school for a while, and now he felt a little more accustomed to it, and it was not as strenuous as it was at the beginning. His goals were not high, and the exams were
As long as you can pass, then Brother Ranzi will have nothing to say and you can live a relaxed life.
At this moment, Fatty Luo, wearing a sleeveless striped T-shirt, walked in from outside.
"Fang Cheng, you are really hardworking, that's good." Fatty Luo praised with a smile.
"Fat brother, why did you come here so early today?" Li Fangcheng was a little surprised. It is now the time for the company to go to work.
"Hey, I went to a meeting outside with the leader today. When the meeting is over, I'll leave early." Fatty Luo narrowed his eyes and said easily.
"Fat brother, you're leaving early. Aren't you afraid of being criticized by your boss? You're going to fuck your deputy section chief." Li Fangcheng joked.
"Leader? The leader has already left. Okay, let's not talk about this. I happen to be free today. Let's go to the wholesale market and order fish. There are many people here on weekends, and it's hard to leave." Fatty Luo started talking about business.
Son.
Li Fangcheng thought it was OK. Anyway, it seemed that there was no business this afternoon, so he should close it early.
The two people tidied up the store, pulled down the rolling shutter door, locked it, and walked out of the market together.
"Fat brother, where are you going today?" Li Fangcheng asked.
"Let's go back to the wholesale market in Linguan. Don't we buy all our fish there?" Fatty Luo said.
He has been there twice and feels pretty good about it.
"Why don't you go check out the supplier that Lao Wang introduced last time?" Li Fangcheng suggested.
"I heard that he is the only store there. I guess there won't be too many varieties, and the location is too remote. Let's talk about it next time. I'll have a lot of choice when I go back to Linguan."
Li Fangcheng thought about this and said nothing. He and Fatty Luo walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi. The two got in the car and explained their destination to the driver. The driver nodded and drove east.
In the back seat of the car, Fatty Luo asked about the situation of the dough pancakes for feeding the fish.
"The yeast pancakes are very popular. At first, they were given as gifts when buying fish. Now there are many repeat customers who come specifically to buy pancakes. They say that the fish at home like to eat this kind of bait, and the fish are very energetic after feeding them.
Okay." Li Fangcheng introduced.
After hearing this, Fatty Luo began to think about things silently.
Two days ago, he went to the ornamental fish market to look at the small packages of fish feed for sale. They were colorful in appearance, beautifully packaged, and not cheap, but there were many people buying them.
Looking back at our own store, there is no doubt about the efficacy of the dough pancakes, but the production is simple, the appearance is crude, and there is no packaging. It doesn't matter if you feed the fish yourself, but if you sell it, it does look a bit unclassy, and it is inconvenient to store. Especially
It's really not like that for high-end customers to hold a dough pancake in their hands and break it off.
If the yeast pancakes are properly processed and made into beautiful small packages and sold in the store, they will definitely be welcomed by customers, and the profit will be much higher than now. Of course, this matter needs to be discussed with Uncle Qi, after all
Currently, he is responsible for making fish feed.
The more Fatty Luo thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was a good one and had market potential. So he told Li Fangcheng the idea.
Li Fangcheng also felt good after hearing this. Since entering the city, his horizons have broadened a lot. Coupled with studying at night school, he also understands the importance of product packaging.
If the yeast cakes packed in ordinary plastic bags are packaged into small packages, they can be used as gifts or for sale.
About half an hour later, the taxi arrived at the Huilinguan Ornamental Fish Wholesale Market. Fatty Luo and the two got out of the car and continued walking inside.
There is a large-scale Taoist temple here called Huilin Temple. There are several true Taoist priests inside. During holidays, there is an endless stream of devotees burning incense and the traffic can be jammed.
There is a medium-sized ornamental fish wholesale market east of Huilinguan, with about twenty stores. It is quite famous in the ornamental fish circle of Tianhai City.
Fatty Luo and Li Fangcheng walked to the small street in the center of the wholesale market and looked around. Today was not a weekend, and the business in each store was relatively deserted.
Fatty Luo found the shop where he bought fish last time. The boss easily recognized him and greeted him warmly.
Fatty Luo smiled and nodded in response, and then went into the store to take a look.
There are many varieties of ornamental fish in the store, but there seems to be no high-grade ones at the moment. Fatty Luo looked around and finally selected four silver arowanas that were 20 or 30 centimeters long, and ten blood parrots, and asked the boss to pack them up.
account.
The boss was very happy. Business was not going well today, but suddenly such a small customer came. Although the transaction was only more than 3,000 yuan, it was still a good deal.
Fatty Luo and Li Fangcheng each carried a water bag and continued walking forward.
When we were nearing the end of the market, we discovered that a new store had opened here called "Tianlong" Aquarium Store. The store looked quite small.
Fatty Luo nuzzled at Li Fangcheng, and the two of them walked towards the store together.
The store is very grandly decorated, with dozens of large and small fish tanks, and a wide variety of ornamental fish of all shapes and sizes.
Fatty Luo and the other two put their water bags next to the wall and began to look at the fish displayed here one by one.
A man in his thirties with a lot of pimples on his face came over to greet him and asked Fatty Luo what kind of fish he wanted.
"Are there any better red arowanas?" Fatty Luo remembered the last commission from Ren Linsheng's friend Lao Chen. It seemed that the few red arowanas in his shop could no longer meet the requirements.
"Red dragon? Haha, brother, you have found the right place. The red arowana in our store is the best on the whole street. A batch of new fish have just arrived. Brother, do you want to take a look?" the waiter said enthusiastically.
