Hou Liang said with a bitter face, "Brother Xia, even if it's the cost price … we can't afford it!"
For this investment in the club, he and Wei Jun had to tighten their belts to take out 5 million Huaxia dollars. They had to rely on Xia Ruofei and Zhao Yongjun to borrow funds to get 10 million Huaxia dollars.
Red arowana of this quality could easily cost 6 or 7 million. Even if it was the cost price, Hou Liang and the others couldn't afford it.
Xia Ruofei laughed and scolded, "Look at your useless face! When our club starts to make money, all of you will become local tycoons. What's a few million? "
Hou Liang and the others' eyes suddenly lit up. That's right! Why didn't they think of the club? How could a clubhouse set up by his buddies not have a high profitability? Although they didn't have a lot of shares, it wouldn't be a problem to buy a pair of Red arowana. Not to mention, Xia Ruofei said that he would give them the cost price.
Thinking of this, Hou Liang also smiled and couldn't stop giggling.
Zhao Yongjun also smiled and said, "Liang, don't worry! Ruofei's ability to make money is obvious to all. The projects he is optimistic about will definitely make a lot of money! "
"That's right! I don't admire Ruofei's ability to make money, but I have to admire him! " Song Rui, who often went against Xia Ruofei, also joked, "The few of us together can't compare to him!"
"Don't try to kill me with your flattery!" Xia Ruofei rolled his eyes and said, "At most, I'll give you the cost price of the Red Arowana. It's impossible to give it away for free!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
In fact, Xia Ruofei still had 50 to 60 Red Arowana in his space. The quality was similar to the one he sold last time, but the market price of this kind of high-end ornamental fish was always high. Even if he really gave it away for free, Zhao Yongjun and the others definitely wouldn't want it. After all, the price was too high.
Also, the rarer something was, the more expensive it was. If Xia Ruofei really gave it to them for free, people like Hou Liang and the others who didn't know the value of Red arowana might not cherish it. They wouldn't feel that it was a big favor. It's better to sell it to them at the "cost price" on the basis of the market price.
Xia Ruofei said, "Don't crowd around the fish tank! Don't scare my Red arowana! Come and drink some tea! Let me tell you … my tea's tea's tea's tea! "
When he heard this, Zhao Yongjun's tea, "Arowana's tea's's the Arowana Tea Tea's's's ….
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yes, it's the same batch of tea! There's not a lot of it. I usually keep it for myself. I don't use it to entertain customers. You guys came! "
When Zhao Yongjun and the others heard this, they were also very interested and sat around the coffee table.
Xu Zixuan asked, "Brother Xia, I seem to see that the Taoyuan Company's Tmall Flagship Store also sells tea, and the price isn't cheap!"
Xia Ruofei looked at Xu Zixuan and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Zixuan to follow our online flagship store!"
Xu Zixuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Hehe, last time I bought some Iron maple bucket! It's for my grandfather! You don't say, the quality is really high! "
"Oh! It turns out that Zixuan is my customer! " Xia Ruofei joked, "Our Iron maple bucket is the same as the most expensive one sold by Tong Ren Tang. In fact, Tong Ren Tang's Iron maple bucket is provided by our company. We will produce more in case of emergencies, and the rest will be sold in our online store."
Wei Jun nodded and said, "I also heard from my dad that although the Taoyuan Company's Iron maple bucket's' 'price is the highest, it's still in short supply. All the stores in the country want to get some quotas! Now, the Qiantang branch is really awesome! "
Back then, the Taoyuan Company had signed a sales agreement with Tong Ren Tang's Qiantang branch. Although the Iron maple bucket would be distributed to all the stores by the chain company's headquarters after they bought it, the Qiantang branch still had some say, and would definitely get the most quotas.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Wei Jun and Liangzi! Not long ago, we reached a supply agreement with Tong Ren Tang's' Caterpillar fungus. Soon, everyone will be able to buy the top caterpillar fungus from Tong Ren Tang! "
Wei Jun quickly said, "Brother Xia, you're too polite! I didn't do much. Your stuff is so good that I can't even ask for it! It's all because of the people below! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No matter what, it's all thanks to you for helping to coordinate this. By the way, if you need Iron maple bucket and caterpillar fungus to give to your elders, just look for me. Although I'm not particularly rich, I can still afford to give some of my own products! "
Zhao Yongjun said with a smile, "You're also doing business. We can't break the rules …"
Then, Zhao Yongjun looked at Xia Ruofei, who was skillfully making tea, and asked with a smile, "By the way, Ruofei, Zixuan just said that the tea sold online is the same as your tea?"
Xia Ruofei raised his head and said with a smile, "The tea sold online is mass produced, and the quality is not low, but it's still a little different from my private collection. Most of the tea comes from the next generation of tea trees, and the tea making process is slightly worse, but if you're not an expert, you won't be able to tell!"
The Peach Garden Da Hong Pao tea sold online mostly came from the third generation of tea trees cut from the mother tree, Da Hong Pao. Although Ye Linyun's craftsmanship was inherited by Li Zhifu, after all, the control of the heat and so on was still not as good as Xia Qing's. So, if one were to look at it with a picky eye, it would definitely not be as good as Xia Ruofei's own collection of tea leaves.
Xia Ruofei skillfully poured the tea from the tea sea into the small teacups, and then used the teacups to separate the small teacups in front of everyone.
He said with a smile, "Come and try this Da Hong Pao tea! When everyone leaves, I'll give everyone a little bit. The amount isn't a lot, so keep it for everyone to try! "
"Okay! Then I'll thank you in advance! "Zhao Yongjun said with a smile.
A little bit of tea leaves, Zhao Yongjun and the others didn't decline pretentiously.
"Good tea!"
"I think it's better than my dad's top-grade Yuqian Longjing tea!"
"Nonsense, they're two different types of tea leaves. How can they be compared?"
Song Rui, Hou Liang, and the others were talking about it. Although they couldn't be called experts, compared to ordinary people, their ability to taste tea was still better, so they were full of praise.
The group of people drank tea and chatted in Xia Ruofei's villa. When it was close to noon, everyone set off for the city together.
Today, Liu Zhe was the host and arranged for everyone to have lunch.
Last night, they ate at Ling Ji Private Kitchen, so today, Liu Zhe specially changed to another restaurant for lunch. Similarly, it wasn't a popular restaurant or a five-star hotel, but a members-only restaurant on Hot Spring Road.
This hot spring club was quite famous in Sanshan City. The specialty dishes of Sanshan City were quite good, and the main reason was that there were natural hot springs here. After lunch, everyone rested for a while and directly soaked in the hot spring in the club.
In the afternoon, they slept in the guest room provided by the club for a while and didn't get up until four o 'clock. Then, Liu Zhe took everyone to the only relatively famous scenic spot in Sanshan City — the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys.
There were well-preserved ancient buildings here, as well as many former residences of famous people. Among them, there was no lack of famous historical figures like Bing Xin, Lin Zexu, and Lin Juemin. Zhao Yongjun and the others were in high spirits as they wandered through the ancient alleys.
At Xia Ruofei's special request, Liu Zhe didn't arrange for a hotel for dinner. Instead, he took everyone directly to the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys to taste the specialties of Sanshan City. They ate along the way and felt very relaxed.
Walking from one end of Nanhou Street to the other end of the more commercialized Nanhou Street, basically everyone's bellies were already round. Whether it was the specialties of the three mountains, such as fish balls, meat bird's nest, or snacks such as Ding Bian Paste, they were all very filling. Even people with big appetites would soon be full after tasting a few more.
Moreover, along the way, the shops on both sides of the road were hung with red lanterns and antique signs and flags. In addition, there were so many tourists that it was full of life. Everyone had a good time.
Liu Zhe had originally wanted to arrange for everyone to sing, but Song Rui and the others, who were always hanging out in those places in the capital, were not very interested. After playing for half a day, they missed the quiet environment of the farm, so they decided to go home.
Of course, through two contacts, Liu Zhe and Zhao Yongjun and the others had established a certain relationship. In particular, Hou Liang even took the initiative to exchange contact information with Liu Zhe, which made Liu Zhe quite satisfied.
After all, the relationship was stabilized step by step. Through a few contacts, as long as you wanted to make friends and your EQ wasn't very low, your relationship would naturally become better and better.
The most difficult thing was that there was no guide. Xia Ruofei had already completed the first step for Liu Zhe, so he would have to rely on himself for the rest.
However, for Xia Ruofei's sake, Hou Liang and the others would more or less take care of Liu Zhe.
On the way back, Xia Ruofei asked for everyone's opinion.
That was because there weren't many places to visit in Sanshan City. On a national scale, the most famous place in Southeast Province was Egret Island City. Some people who didn't know much about Southeast Province would even mistakenly think that Egret Island was the capital of Southeast Province.
Zhao Yongjun and the others weren't so ignorant, but they also yearned for Egret Island's Coconut Sea Charm.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei decided to bring them to Egret Island the next day.
In any case, Zhao Yongjun and the others came to Sanshan City mainly to visit Xia Ruofei and visit Xia Ruofei's farm. They had no objections to the specific arrangements, so they followed the host's wishes.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei also considered visiting Lin Qiao on the way to Egret Island.
Lin Qiao didn't plan to return to Sanshan City because the New Year's holiday was coming.
There were only three days off on New Year's Day, and there were still a few classes near the end of the semester. Therefore, Lin Qiao decided to stay in school to revise. Winter break wasn't far away anyway, so he could go home directly during the winter break.
When he returned to the farm's guest house, Zhao Yongjun and the others were busy playing cards. Xia Ruofei didn't join in the fun. He instructed the staff on duty to take care of the security and went home.
Xia Ruofei called Huzi's mother first and told her that he was going to Egret Island the next day. If there was anything he needed to bring, she could prepare it tonight, and he would take a detour to pick it up tomorrow.
Although Egret Island was very close to Sanshan City, a mother's care for her daughter would not decrease because of the geographical location. As soon as Huzi's mother heard that Xia Ruofei was going to Egret Island, she expressed that she wanted to bring some thick clothes for Lin Qiao.
Didn't they say that there was a kind of coldness called 'mother thinks you're cold'? That was the case …
She also decided to cook a few dishes that Lin Qiao usually liked to eat overnight and ask Xia Ruofei to bring them along.
Then, Xia Ruofei called Feng Jing and told her that he was going to Egret Island for two days to make arrangements for the company's work.
Xia Ruofei also didn't forget to report to Ling Qingxue. At the same time, he also promised her that after he returned from Egret Island, he would arrange for Zhao Yongjun and the others to go to the headquarters of Ling's Restaurant Group to meet with Ling Xiaotian and finalize the establishment of Ling's Restaurant Private Kitchen in the club that was about to be built.
The next morning, Xia Ruofei drove to the Forestry Bureau's dormitory first. Although the new house was ready for occupancy, Hu Zi's mother still stayed at the Forestry Bureau's dormitory for the convenience of picking up Old Monitor Luo's orphan, Nannan. They would only move there when Nannan was on winter break and Lin Qiao returned from Heron Island.
Xia Ruofei took a bag of clothes and a big bag of food from Huzi's mother. According to Huzi's mother, there were a lot of chicken wings and duck gizzards that she had braised overnight. Lin Qiao loved to eat the braised food that her mother made personally. Moreover, these foods could be stored for a long time, so it was enough for Lin Qiao to eat for many days.
After taking the things, Xia Ruofei drove straight to the highway intersection. Zhao Yongjun and the others took a MPV to meet up with Xia Ruofei.
It was a little crowded with six people in a MPV, so after they met up, Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui switched to Xia Ruofei's car. Then, the two cars entered the highway together and drove in the direction of Egret Island City.
This trip was a leisure trip, so the journey was not particularly rushed. Everyone listened to music and drove forward at an average speed of about 100 km/h. From time to time, they would chat a little over the walkie-talkie. The atmosphere was quite relaxed.
They were not deliberately in a hurry, so at noon, the two cars drove one after another onto Egret Island's sea-crossing bridge.
The central city of Egret Island was on the island. No matter which direction they entered the island, they had to pass through the sea-crossing bridge.
Zhao Yongjun looked through the window with interest at Egret Island Airport in the distance, where planes were taking off and landing. The airport was on the sea-crossing bridge, and they could often see planes taking off and landing. The view was very good.
"Ruofei, are we going directly to Gulangyu?" Song Rui leaned against the seat and asked lazily. He was a little tired from the long car ride.
Liu Zhe had helped arrange the accommodation for this trip to Egret Island. It was on Gulangyu, which was the exclusive reception area of Egret Island's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. It was very convenient for Liu Zhe to book a few rooms.
Gulangyu was an even smaller island next to Egret Island. It was also a famous scenic spot. There was no bridge connecting it to the city, so the only way to get to Gulangyu was to take a ferry. The entire island was a scenic spot. One could buy tourist packages that included scenic spot tickets and ferry tickets. Of course, the natives of Gulangyu could take the ferry for free.
Xia Ruofei thought about it and said, "I have to go to Egret Island University to find someone later. How about this … Let's eat on the island first, and then go to Gulangyu! We'll spend the night on Gulangyu … "
He actually wanted to find Lin Qiao first. He purposely did not inform Lin Qiao in advance this time because he wanted to give this girl a surprise. He wondered how happy Lin Qiao would be to see him suddenly appear in front of her!
As Xia Ruofei thought about it, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
