"It's selling well. Dad and Grandpa are in charge of contacting the restaurants. The delivery is handed over to Iron Egg, Zhao Yan, Zhang Hua, and Jiang Xiaofan. In these two days, more than half of it has been sold, "the girl said.
"But I have to tell you a piece of bad news. I don't think we can go out to catch prawns tomorrow," Liu Xiaobei said.
"Why?" the black-silk girl asked in surprise.
Liu Xiao Bei briefly explained what he saw on the lake to the girl in black silk.
After she heard it, she also frowned her beautiful eyebrows. After thinking for a while, she said, "It seems that we still have to stop for two days before we can go out to catch salted shrimp. It's really hard to make money properly."
"I'll observe the situation tomorrow. I don't think they will be searching for long," Liu Xiaobei said.
The girl nodded and didn't say anything.
The next day, according to the plan they came up with yesterday, Liu Xiaobei and the others didn't go out to catch salted prawns. Only Liu Xiaobei went into the lake alone. He ate the frost grass and swam out to observe the situation.
For the whole day, Liu Xiaobei went out to the lake three or four times. He found that there were still a lot of ships searching today.
When he returned in the evening, he told the girl that they still couldn't go out the next day.
The girl in black silk frowned and said to Liu Xiaobei, "All the salted prawns from yesterday have been sold out. If there's no more stock today, the supply chain that has just been set up will be affected."
"That can't be helped," Liu Xiaobei said.
"That's the only way." The girl nodded helplessly.
This time, he still didn't dare to catch salted prawns. Liu Xiaobei went into the lake again. He ate the frost grass while observing the lake.
Although he hadn't caught any saltwater prawns for the past two days and it seemed like he had suffered a huge financial loss, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Liu Xiaobei because Liu Xiaobei had more time to eat frost grass. Liu Xiaobei's growth in all aspects was obvious.
Today, Liu Xiaobei noticed that the number of ships they were searching for had decreased significantly. It seemed that they had given up. After all, they had been searching for two days. They had been missing on the lake for such a long time. Even an idiot would know that there was almost no chance of them surviving.
After returning to Yuhao Village, Liu Xiaobei told the black-silk girl that they could leave the ship tomorrow, but they had to be careful.
The girl in black silk nodded and agreed. She then called her father and asked him to buy a pair of binoculars overnight.
The next day, Liu Xiaobei was catching shrimps at the bottom of the lake. While the girl in black silk was fishing for shrimps, she used her binoculars to observe the surroundings from time to time.
It was very smooth. In the evening, Liu Xiaobei and the rest had caught another ship of shrimps, which was about seven thousand catties.
The money earned from the previous ship of shrimps had been transferred to Liu Xiaobei's account by the old man on time. Of the seven thousand catties of shrimps, the portion that was given to Liu Xiaobei was close to five hundred thousand. The old man directly transferred five hundred thousand to Liu Xiaobei.
When this ship of shrimps was sold, it would be a little over five hundred thousand in his account. Liu Xiaobei felt like a nouveau riche.
Meanwhile, the sales channel for the black-silk girl's grandfather and the rest had basically been settled.
A ship of saltwater shrimps was sold out in two days.
Liu Xiaobei told them not to expand their sales channel anymore. This was good. They could take a day off. Of course, on the day of rest, Liu Xiaobei couldn't bear to waste it. He would enter Lancang Lake to eat the Frost Grass.
After that, it seemed like Lady Luck was taking pity on Liu Xiaobei and the rest. For a whole half a month, everything went very smoothly.
As for Liu Xiaobei's personal income, it made Liu Xiaobei feel like he was dreaming.
In half a month, seven ships of saltwater shrimps were sold, which was close to fifty thousand catties. Liu Xiaobei's income was close to three and a half million. In addition to the income from the previous two ships of saltwater shrimps, Liu Xiaobei's net worth had exceeded four million.
Although it wasn't much for those rich people, for Liu Xiaobei, this number was very shocking.
The only thing that was a little worrying was that although Lancang Lake was a huge treasure trove, Liu Xiaobei was catching saltwater shrimps with such high efficiency.
After a period of time, he had already cleaned up all the large saltwater shrimps within a twenty-kilometer square area.
In other words, if this continued, Liu Xiaobei would catch about two catties of saltwater shrimps in Lancang Lake after two months.
All that was left were those small saltwater shrimps.
According to the grandpa of the girl, saltwater shrimps grew very slowly. To be able to grow to two catties of saltwater shrimps, it would take at least ten years.
Liu Xiaobei also understood what he meant. Liu Xiaobei's good business could probably last for another two months.
If he wanted to do more after that, he would probably have to catch mandarin fish or something.
Tiger-Head fish was valuable, but there were too few of them. It would take too much time to find them.
Today, Liu Xiaobei's group didn't go to catch shrimps. Liu Xiaobei also didn't go to eat the frost grass.
This was because the girl in black silk said that there was news from the auction house that the big pearl would be auctioned today. She asked Liu Xiaobei's group to rush over to participate.
He didn't plan to go at first, but he felt a little bored after spending most of his time at the bottom of the lake.
Hence, he agreed to go with the girl in black silk. His main purpose was to go out and relax.
To see how much that big pearl could be auctioned for? Liu Xiaobei didn't have much expectations. For the current Liu Xiaobei, he didn't lack money.
One could imagine how a penniless person who used to have to think about how to spend a single coin would suddenly have a few million yuan. He really didn't know how to spend it!
It was all because of the rich second generation that they knew how to squander. Liu Xiaobei now understood that squandering was also a skill. If you didn't have enough experience, you wouldn't be able to do it.
In the morning, Liu Xiaobei's group set off at 6 am. When they reached the Haikou City Auction House, it was 9 am.
Luckily, the auction house reserved seats for Liu Xiaobei's group. Although the official auction would only start at 10 am, the auction house was already packed.
There were people chatting about everything under the sun. They talked about houses, the stock market, girls, and all sorts of other things.
However, the people who seemed to be in a mess were the people sitting in the back row. Liu Xiaobei's group was also arranged to the back row. As for the people sitting in the front row, if you looked at their appearance, they were of higher quality. They were all sitting upright and dressed in expensive clothes.
One look and you could tell that they belonged to the group of rich people.
Liu Xiaobei wasn't interested in such a messy environment. Hence, he put on his headphones and closed his eyes to rest while listening to music.
Unknowingly, Liu Xiaobei fell asleep. When Liu Xiaobei woke up, he was woken up by the girl in black silk. Liu Xiaobei had just woken up and was still a little confused. He asked the girl in black silk, "What's wrong?"
"I really have to give it to you, Boss. You can actually fall asleep in such a situation. You didn't see it just now. The auction was very exciting. An oil paint bottle from the Tang Dynasty was sold for more than 6 million," the girl in black silk said.
"I heard that antiques are originally very valuable. Has our pearls been auctioned yet? "Liu Xiaobei asked.
"Not yet, but I think it will be soon. The auction has been going on for more than an hour. It will end at 12 am. There are still 20 minutes left until 12 am. It should be soon," the girl in black silk said.
"Then you woke me up too early. Otherwise, I could have slept a little longer," Liu Xiaobei said.
The girl in black silk didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Liu Xiaobei's words.
Liu Xiaobei's group didn't talk anymore because another auction item had begun.
Liu Xiaobei looked at the auction stage.
