"Let's go to the nearest Chinese medicine store first. Many drug stores will buy this cicada shell!”After they separated, Li Jiahao took a taxi with his father and fourth uncle and headed to the nearest Chinese medicine shop.
Cicada shells were already a scarce Chinese medicinal herb, and now that the environment had been severely damaged, cicadas were even rarer. Although there were a lot of cicadas in Li Village, due to the exchange of information, the villagers did not know that they could be sold for money. As for the people in the city, who would have the time to go to Li Village? After all, the shell of cicadas was valuable. Everyone knew that, but few people actually went to catch cicadas. Basically, they were raised artificially.
They arrived at the largest Chinese medicine shop in the city. The three of them got out of the taxi.
"Heavenly Treasures Tower!"
"This is probably the biggest Chinese medicine shop here.”Li Jia Hao and the other two each carried a black bag and walked straight into the Chinese medicine shop.
"Hello, may I know what medicinal herbs you want to buy?”Seeing the three of them walk in, the waiter welcomed them very politely.
"Hello, we're here to sell wild cicada shells! I wonder if this place accepts them?" Li Jiahao said to the waiter as he followed the waiter in.
"Wild cicadas are accepted here, but I can't make the decision. Please wait a moment, I'll call the manager!”The waiter said and walked back apologetically.
"Everything in this city is expensive! A taxi would cost more than 50 yuan. With this 50 yuan, he could eat two meals of meat!”Fourth Uncle recalled the rental money that Li Jiahao had paid just now. He tightened the black bag in front of him and said with some heartache.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Our time is limited, and we don't know the way!”Li Jia Hao laughed.
"Also, I'm going to the shipyard in the city to see if I can buy a fishing boat! Let's see if we can buy a bigger one. Otherwise, we can't rely on manpower in this village!”
"Buy a big ship?" Li Sheng Min, who was also Li Jia Hao's father, touched his chin and looked at Li Jia Hao.
"Yes, I've thought about it. Our Li village has a lot of resources. Not to mention those fruits and vegetables, we have a lot of wild medicinal herbs, but the labor force in the village is very small. So I plan to buy a big ship. Dad, you will be the captain and bring the others out to sea to fish! Moreover, when the river opens up, we can even sell our things directly to the city!”Li Jiahao explained.
"That works too!" His father nodded. He agreed.
"Hello! I'm the manager of this shop. My surname is Jiang!”Just as the three of them were chatting, a middle-aged man in a suit and glasses walked in from outside.
"Hello, Manager Jiang. We're here to sell cicada shells.”Li Jiahao stood up and shook hands with Manager Jiang.
"This depends on the sample of the cicada shell!" Manager Jiang adjusted his glasses, took the black bag from Li Jiahao, and opened it.
"Yes, not bad. They're all wild! And it was picked today!" Manager Jiang looked at it carefully for a while, tasted it again, and put down the bag.
"How about this? I'll give you three hundred yuan per catty! But I hope you can supply us in large quantities!”
"No problem. I can't say for sure if it's more than that, but we can still provide 1,800 catties.”Li Jiahao and Manager Jiang said.
The three of them brought a total of forty-nine pounds and six taels. Manager Jiang made the decision and gave them fifteen thousand yuan according to the weight of fifty pounds.
After that, Li Jiahao and Manager Jiang exchanged phone numbers.
Only then did the three of them walk out of the Heavenly Treasures Building.
"15,000?" His father looked at the stack of brand new 15,000 yuan in Li Jiahao's hand and couldn't help but be a little speechless. In the past, every family in the village only sold seafood, but the price was not high, only 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. Moreover, because of the traffic, it was really difficult to get there. It would take half a day for four people to go upstream, let alone carrying goods! The round trip took two to three days.
Moreover, cash was not very circulating in the Li family village. Basically, every household was self-sufficient. Therefore, he rarely came out to sell things.
This time, it was 15,000 yuan, which made the two feel somewhat unbelievable. After all, this thing could be seen everywhere in the Li family village, and it was even about to become a disaster.
"Let's go to the shipyard! He wanted to see if he could directly buy a big ship!”
"If you want to go out to sea, you have to have a ship that weighs more than a thousand tons! Moreover, the weather on the sea was ever-changing, so they had to be able to withstand a level eight typhoon.”
"How big is a ship that weighs more than a thousand tons?”When Fourth Uncle heard Li Jiahao's words, he could not help but be a little speechless.。
"A 1,000-ton ship is basically about 40 to 50 meters long, and the draft can reach about six to seven meters deep. However, this will have to wait until our sea route is cleared! If it was not dredged, a boat with a draft of half a meter would easily encounter reefs.”Li Jiahao explained.
Once again, the three of them got into a taxi and headed towards the largest shipyard in the city. The shipyard in the city was located in the southernmost part of the city, close to the sea. It was at least three hundred miles away from the Li family's village.
This was the only port in the city. Every day, fishing boats of all sizes stopped here, and there were also many logistics stops here. This was also the reason why the seafood of the Li family village was not easy to sell. It was because it was close to the sea and there were professional fishing boats!
Therefore, Li Jiahao planned to open a seafood restaurant in the city when his boat arrived. He would be self-sufficient then. He would sell the seafood he caught himself. This way, not only would the price be higher, but it would also drive the sales of other items.
They walked and stopped along the way, and the three of them finally arrived at the shipyard.
He followed the security guard all the way to the place where fishing boats were sold. Because it was close to the sea, the shipyard not only had fishing boats, but also logistics boats, sightseeing boats, and so on. There were many types of boats. What Li Jiahao needed now was a fishing boat. As for sightseeing boats, there was no hurry. When the Li family village developed better, they would definitely have sightseeing boats!
"Hello! We want to buy an ocean fishing ship that weighs more than a thousand tons.”When he saw the person in charge of selling the fishing boat, Li Jiahao directly explained his intention.
"Hello, hello. Currently, we only have a 3,000-ton long-distance fishing ship! If you want to buy it, we can give you a discount! However, we don't have a 1,000-ton fishing boat in stock. If you want to book it, it will take at least three months before it can be launched!”The person in charge of selling fishing boats led the three of them to the shore and pointed at a large ship that was more than 150 meters long.
