A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

“Now that we have stable sales channels, we can sell our fish for 30 cents a pound. So why should we keep focusing on the purchase price of 15 cents? We can directly raise the purchase price to 18 cents, or even 20 cents, and they will definitely sell their fish to us first.”

Who would complain about earning too much money?

Upon hearing Zhang Yuzhen's analysis, everyone unanimously agreed that it made a lot of sense.

Because they didn't have enough money and not enough cash to buy so many fish, they quickly decided to pay two cents instead, but the money would be paid the next day.

A thousand catties of fish is worth 200 yuan. If you sell them all, you can make a net profit of 100 yuan in one go. It's a pure case of getting something for nothing.

"Let's go outside and spread the word!"

The family went out to spread the news.

While Zhang Zude and his family were frantically trying to find a way to collect the fish,

Hu Dahai's home welcomed a guest, Zhang Zhaoxing.

He once again brought a large amount of canned goods, fruit, and the like to Hu Dahai's house.

"Director Zhang, what brings you here?" Hu Dahai asked Zhang Zhaoxing with some surprise.

"Hehe!" Zhang Zhaoxing's smile was so wide that even a rocket launcher couldn't suppress it.

"Brother Dahai, I have to thank you." Zhang Zhaoxing said with a smile as he carried the gifts into Hu Dahai's house. "Recently, I've been taking fish tofu and bags of snails to many places across the country."

"Almost everyone who tried it loved it. Now our food factory can just focus on production, because they want it all! The orders are completely booked."

"I've done the calculations, and if that's really the case, we can make up for all the losses our factory has incurred in less than three months!"

Zhang Zhaoxing became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face even turned quite rosy.

Hu Dahai understood that the hot sales of fish tofu and snails had long been known. It all depended on Zhang Zhaoxing's ability and courage. As long as Zhang Zhaoxing was capable and had great courage, he could make the food factory bigger and stronger with just these two products.

"So, Director Zhang, what are your plans now?" Hu Dahai asked casually.

Zhang Zhaoxing said boldly, "Of course it's expansion! I'm going to increase production, stop all the low-profit products, and focus all my efforts on these two. Anyway, it's only three months, so I'll take the gamble!"

As he spoke, he added to Hu Dahai, "By the way, Brother Dahai, you still need to supply more fish. My demand is getting bigger and bigger!"

“Yesterday, one of your relatives, surnamed Zhang, came and sold us fish. I think you should definitely try to reach more of your relatives so you can buy fish faster.”

Hu Dahai's brow twitched upon hearing this. His relative surnamed Zhang?

"Wait, you said one of my relatives came to sell fish yesterday?" Hu Dahai interrupted Zhang Zhaoxing.

“Yes!” Zhang Zhaoxing replied seriously, “That person knows you very well. He knows almost everything about you. I think his name is Zhang Zude.”

When Hu Dahai heard the name Zhang Zude, his right eye narrowed. Zhang Zude, wasn't that Zhang Yuzhen's idle younger brother? How did he find his way to the food factory? Had they been following him?

"Did you also get his fish from Sanmao?" Hu Dahai asked.

“Yes,” Zhang Zhaoxing nodded, “You’re a relative, of course we’ll give you the same price.”

Hu Dahai nodded and said to Zhang Zhaoxing, "This person is not my relative. He's using my name to swindle people. He's a street urchin around here, a good-for-nothing. Don't be fooled by him. I only do business with you personally. Even if I had relatives, I would definitely bring them over to you to recognize them."

Hearing Hu Dahai's words, Zhang Zhaoxing felt a little embarrassed. He had originally thought that by helping Hu Dahai's relative, he would be doing Hu Dahai a favor. But now, he had not only failed to do so but also made a fool of himself.

"Then, what should we do now?" Zhang Zhaoxing asked Hu Dahai for his opinion.

"What do you think? You really want to take a fish from a street urchin?" Hu Dahai asked rhetorically.

Zhang Zhaoxing instantly understood and nodded, saying, "I know what to do."

Afterwards, Zhang Zhaoxing and Hu Dahai chatted about some random things before leaving.

After Zhang Zhaoxing left, Bao Yuanshan rushed in, shouting, "Dahai, Dahai, something terrible has happened!"

Bao Yuanshan, panting, said to Hu Dahai, "It's bad news! Zhang Zude's family has started buying fish too, and the price is only two cents a pound! I've heard many people say they're going to sell their fish there."

"Even many people from our Qunyi brigade went there to sell fish!"

Hu Dahai said calmly, "It's perfect that you're here. Come out with me for a bit."

"No, Dahai, aren't you worried? If everyone goes to Zhang Zude's place to sell fish, won't we be unable to buy any fish? If we can't buy fish, what will we sell tomorrow?" Bao Yuanshan said anxiously, grabbing Hu Dahai's hand.

"What's the panic?" Hu Dahai said with a calm smile. "Does that mean we can only collect fish from our own brigade?"

"Let's go out and collect the fish. If they want to sell them to Zhang Zude, then let them sell them." Hu Dahai wasn't in a hurry at all. When Zhang Zhaoxing came to him earlier, he had already thought of a new direction.

As for the Qunyi Brigade, if someone sells fish to them, they will certainly accept it and even value them. But to choose to sell fish to Zhang Zude's people for such a small benefit, well, they'll regret it later.

Bao Yuanshan was completely bewildered by Hu Dahai, but seeing Hu Dahai's calm and composed demeanor reassured him considerably.

They went out together with Hu Dahai.

The two men did not bring a cart, but walked for about an hour to reach the Lingdong Brigade.

These days, each brigade is establishing its own collective industry. Some are running textile enterprises, some are raising pigs like Qunyi Brigade, and some simply rent out their own brigade's land to earn rent. Of course, those with more water areas will engage in aquaculture.

Hu Dahai remembers that in this township, there are two brigades with the most water area: Lingdong Brigade and Fengsheng Brigade. Lingdong Brigade is slightly closer to the food factory, so Hu Dahai first considered Lingdong Brigade.

"Ocean, what are we doing here?"

The two arrived at the entrance of the Lingdong Brigade's office, and Bao Yuanshan asked with some confusion.

"You can wait for me here." Hu Dahai knew that if Bao Yuanshan went in, some things might be beyond Bao Yuanshan's imagination, so Hu Dahai did not take him in.

The main reason I brought him here today is to let him get familiar with the place, so that it will be convenient for Bao Yuanshan to come and pick up the goods in the future.

“Okay, okay.” Bao Yuanshan nodded repeatedly. He usually didn’t dare to speak even when he saw the captain of his own Qunyi Brigade, let alone the captain of the Lingdong Brigade.

After saying that, he slipped away and sat down on a stone bench.

Hu Dahai gave a wry smile and walked into the office of the captain of the Lingdong Brigade.

"Hello, I'm here to buy fish."

At this moment, sitting in the brigade commander's office was a young man in his thirties. He was Du Wu, the son of the brigade commander of Lingdong Brigade. When he saw a stranger walk into his office, he was also taken aback.

"You've come to buy fish?" Du Wu looked Hu Dahai up and down and said with a hint of teasing, leaning back in his chair and putting his feet on the table.

He acted like he was the most important person in the world.

Hu Dahai was somewhat displeased by the other party's attitude, but he didn't care too much because he thought that he could make a lot of money by reselling the fish once he bought them.

Du Wu was very young. In this era, it was impossible for someone so young to become a brigade leader, so he wasn't keen on talking to Du Wu. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, I'd like to buy more fish. Are you the brigade leader of Lingdong Brigade?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Dahai's words caused Du Wu to erupt instantly: "What did you say? I'm giving you face, and you're already putting on airs? Don't you know who you are? Do you think you're qualified to talk business with my father?"

"You want to buy fish, right? It's three cents a pound, take it or leave it!"
