At noon, Fatty Luo had lunch at work and came to the aquarium store as usual to have a look. Now that he has a means of transportation, running around is much more convenient than before, whether for patrolling or purchasing goods.
The business of the aquarium store has always maintained a good momentum. Mid-range fish species, such as blood parrots and silver dragons, can be sold almost every day. Even the remaining two red arowanas bought back are also sold at the same price.
The price is two thousand yuan a piece. Although the profit of these mid-range fish is not as good as that of high-end fish, it is a long-term and steady flow, and the accumulation over a period of time is not a small amount.
At present, the best fish in the aquarium store are the three golden cross-backed arowanas. They have grown to more than 30 centimeters, and their body shape and color are perfect. Although they are not big yet, they are already close to the size of adult fish.
This is a sight in the store. There are many people visiting, but there is no buyer yet. After all, high-end customers are not that easy to deal with. Fatty Luo is not in a hurry to sell. The price can be higher if it is left to grow bigger.
In addition, during this period of time, high-backed arowanas with good appearance have been rare in the wholesale market. The supply of goods is insufficient. No matter how powerful the special water is, it does not have the ability to turn any low-quality arowana into a top-quality fish.
Fatty Luo parked his Buick outside the market and walked all the way to the Huolong Aquarium Store. Li Fangcheng and Huzi were sitting on chairs eating lunch.
The three of them had just said hello when they heard a clicking sound. When they looked up, they saw Lao Wang from next door walking over in slippers.
"Here comes my fat brother. Come sit in my room and discuss something with you." Lao Wang invited me.
"Brother Fatty, Lao Wang is afraid that you will be hungry, so he has roasted two of the fattest flower arhats for you to taste." Li Fangcheng said with a smile while eating the box lunch.
"Yes, Lao Wang, we also want to taste what Huarhat tastes like." Huzi also shouted.
"Go, you two boys are not serious." Lao Wang scolded the two boys, and then took Fatty Luo to his store.
After entering the Xiaoyao Aquarium Shop, Lao Wang asked Fatty Luo to sit down. He was already familiar with the people, so there was no need to beat around the bush. He just told Fatty Luo everything about what happened in the morning and his plans, and then waited for him.
reply.
Fatty Luo heard this and did not speak immediately. He turned his head and looked at the two best tanks in the store.
Arhat belongs to the Cichlididae family and is a hybrid ornamental fish. It is named because of its raised head shape, which looks like an Arhat. Many fish keepers like it very much and think that it has the head of a longevity star, which is auspicious. In the ornamental fish market
It also occupies a considerable market share.
The Fire Dragon Aquarium Store has never had an Arhat. Firstly, it is because of aesthetic issues. In the eyes of some people, the Arhat's head is an extremely beautiful birthday girl, but in the eyes of Fatty Luo and Li Fangcheng, it turns out to be a big growth on the head.
I don’t really like the strange fish with sarcoma.
Secondly, I am considering leaving a living for my neighbors. The special water here is very effective. If I take over the Flower Arhat project, will I let others eat? Especially Lao Wang, who mainly runs the Flower Arhat project.
Shop.
But now Lao Wang's request is a little hesitant. It's okay to sell him some water. After all, special water is also sold to the outside world, and it is a consumable. And it is shipped in small quantities in bags and added to the tank, which is just for maintenance.
It's just a status of an ornamental fish.
For a long time, it has only been claimed that the special water has high nutritional content and is very beneficial to the health of fish. However, no one knows that when the special water reaches a certain amount and purity, it can qualitatively transform the shape of ornamental fish, such as turning the high-backed golden dragon into a fish.
The fish was transformed into a cross-backed arowana. Even Lao Wang might not be able to figure it out.
To say the least, even if someone is willing to test it, they may not be able to find out anything. Modern testing technology is limited. For example, a certain Coke is sold all over the world, but no one has been able to test its formula.
But it's different to directly help others transform fish. Will it spread out and expand the scope and touch Ranzi's bottom line?
Lao Wang saw the fat man's hesitation, and after thinking about it for a moment, he knew what he was worried about.
He quickly told Fatty Luo that he was aware of the issue involving the confidentiality of the other party's patented technology, but who would tell others about this kind of money-making thing? If the scope is too large, it will also affect his own business. So there is no need to worry about this at all.
In addition, this big customer is very rare. If Fatty agrees to proceed, he is willing to share the profit of 200,000 yuan.
After hearing this, Fatty Luo was tempted. Two hundred thousand was not a small amount. How many mid-range fish would he have to sell in his shop to get this profit?
Well, let’s just tell Ranzi about this later and let him make the decision.
However, the big customer was in a hurry, so it was probably too late to just put the flower Arhat into the fish tank of his store and raise it slowly. He had to find a way to solve it like the blood-red arowana incident last time. He had it in his hands.
There are more powerful technologies.
Furthermore, if you think about the worst, even if Lao Wang spreads the news, others may not believe it if he says it without proof. After all, the technology is still in Ranzi's hands. If he denies it, who can?
How about it?
So, he told Lao Wang that he could not make the decision on this matter and needed to discuss it with the backstage boss of the Fire Dragon Aquarium Store, because the patented technology was controlled there and he could not access it.
Lao Wang nodded to express his understanding, but said that time waits for no one and asked Fatty to deal with this matter as soon as possible.
Fatty Luo returned to his shop, briefly chatted with Li Fangcheng and Huzi, and then said that he had something to do immediately and would not delay here.
He walked out of the market and returned to the car. Then he took out his mobile phone and called Li Youran to discuss Lao Wang's business issues.
When Li Youran heard about this, his immediate reaction was to refuse. He didn't want to spread the word and cause unnecessary trouble just to make some money.
However, Fatty Luo persuaded him, saying that Lao Wang was a nice person, and they had been getting along for a long time, so he felt that he should still be reliable. Moreover, he had also helped his store a lot, and even taught him and Fang Cheng how to do it.
I have little experience in appraising ornamental fish. This is a rare big deal, so it would be unreasonable not to help.
What's more, it's mutually beneficial for both parties. After all, the aquarium store is not rich enough not to take two hundred thousand yuan seriously.
He then told Li Youran the analysis he had just considered, which seemed to be nothing serious if the worst-case scenario occurred.
After hearing this, Li Youran began to hesitate. Also, having a neighbor you get along with well makes many things easier. At least he won't cause trouble for you or anything like that.
In addition, am I a little too cautious? Now is an era of rapid technological development. New technologies and new products emerge in an endless stream every day. There are also many expensive luxury goods and collectibles that often appear on stage. This little thing in my hand is also
It may not be as conspicuous and memorable as imagined.
So, he told the fat man that in this case, he would only do Lao Wang's business, and it must not be expanded. It is absolutely necessary to strictly prohibit the other party from spreading rumors, otherwise he will refuse the supply of special water in the future. After get off work, he bagged the flower Arhat Send it to the bun shop.t
