After inviting Zhang Tie in, Boss Du told a waiter to serve a cup of tea for Zhang Tie. Before Zhang Tie opened his mouth, Boss Du had already taken out a brochure and gave it to Zhang Tie, saying, "Here"s the list of products that my store could provide, please take a look. Cuttlefish bone, starfish ash, abalone sh.e.l.l, pufferfish liver, short-necked clam, hawksbill turtle, billfish liver, reef, seven-star eel, sea horse, kelp, agar (a seaweed), tanaka, caloglossa leprieurii, sarga.s.so weed are available immediately. You could get as many good products as possible. If you want some rarities such as scallop, sea cuc.u.mber and colorful sea snakes, you should reserve them. We could also a.s.sign people to catch them. But it would a bit more expensive and would be a bit later. You could leave your address to me. When the products are prepared well, I will have people invite you to check them..."After hearing his words, Zhang Tie became shortly stunned. Instead of opening the brochure, Zhang Tie directly put it onto the desk. Although the items that Boss Du listed were all sea products, they were mainly medicinal ingredients. "Perhaps many people in Tigerback Town used to buy sea medicinal ingredients here; therefore Boss Du thinks I"m as also here to buy medicinal ingredients."
"I"m not here for medicinal ingredients!" Zhang Tie explained as he shook his head, "I just want to buy some ordinary sea products!"
"I"m sorry; I"m sorry..." Boss Du became shortly stunned as he hurriedly put away that brochure and took another glance at Zhang Tie. Closely after that, he asked Zhang Tie meticulously with a big smile, "May I know your boite"s address? Are you going to order food ingredients for the boite?"
"I don"t have a boite!" Zhang Tie replied as he shook his head again.
Boss Du became shortly stunned again. Closely after that, he asked Zhang Tie patiently, "What kind of sea products do you want, sir?"
"How about showing me around your warehouse?"
"Sure, please... please..." After sitting down there for less than 2 minutes, the two people had already stood up again. Boss Du took Zhang Tie straight to his warehouse after leaving the back door of his store. All the sea products were put under rows of bamboo sheds.
There were dozens of sufficient fresh sea products here, including fish, shrimps, sh.e.l.ls, conches even kelps. Some a.s.sistants were busy doing their jobs under these bamboo sheds.
After looking around these stockpiles with the introduction of Boss Du, Zhang Tie came to a fish pool covering over 20 square meters, which was filled with tens of thousands of pistol shrimps, weighing tons in total.
Zhang Tie stopped his foot as he asked Boss Du, "What"s this shrimp?"
As they were called spear shrimps in the world where he came from, Zhang Tie didn"t know its concrete name in Motian Realm. Therefore, he asked Boss Du about it.
"Oh, it"s pistol shrimp. Although they"re not large, they have great force. Especially their forelimbs which are even more powerful than that of iron crabs. When they thrust out their forelimbs, it would be like shooting long spears. Therefore, they were called spear shrimps. Although their name sounds terrifying, their meat tastes nice. If you make shrimp meatb.a.l.l.s using their meat, you will find it is pretty chewy..."
"I"ve not imagined that their name remains unchanged here. It seems that the people who named them were soul mates."
"What"s your price?" Zhang Tie asked Boss Du.
"It depends on how many do you want?"
"I will buy them all!" Zhang Tie took a look at Boss Du as he added, "Not only the spear shrimps in your store, I will even buy all the spear shrimps of the other stores in this fis.h.i.+ng market in the future..."
"All of them?" Boss Du was shocked too much. He knew Zhang Tie was rich; however, he had not imagined that Zhang Tie wanted so many.
"Can"t I?"
"You can. Of course, you can. If you want something, even though it"s not available immediately, I could get them for you from boatmen or other booths. But you know, the total weight of spear shrimps at this wharf ranges from 2,500 kg to 5,000 kg per day. A boite doesn"t need so many spear shrimps at all..."
"It"s none of your business!"
Boss Du frowned immediately. After calculating it for a few seconds, he asked, "Sir, are you going to carry them or need me to have people send them to the designated place? If you come here for them yourself, it would be a bit cheaper, 4 white crystal coins per kg; if you want us to send them to you, it depends on the distance, the longer it is, the higher the price would be!"
"Send them to the designated place then!"
"Sir, where do you want us to send them to?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Just send them to Whitedragon Gulf by boat every day and release all of them..."
"What? Sir, you mean you want us to release all of them back to the ocean after buying these spear shrimps?"
"Right!"
After doing this business for so many years, it was Boss Du"s first time to meet such a guest. After buying fresh seafood, he didn"t eat them; instead, he preferred to release them back to the ocean. "Does he have too much money and don"t know how to spend them or have any mental problem? Perhaps this guy is just making fool of me?"
Boss Du then looked at Zhang Tie in a weird way. If not Zhang Tie"s n.o.ble clothes which implied that he was not poor, Boss Du might have already had people dislodge Zhang Tie from his store.
However, rich people were always bosses. After taking another look at Zhang Tie, Boss Du quoted. In his opinion, if this guest agreed with his quotation, he would do such a business. As there were always some rich people who wanted to hear the sound of splatters by throwing money into the water. It was none of his business. However, if Zhang Tie disagreed, he would call his a.s.sistants to drive Zhang Tie out of there.
"Generally speaking, paid on delivery. Frequent guests could pay us at the end of each month; however, you know, sir, your demand is so huge. We need to rent a huge s.h.i.+p and a lot of people to carry those spear shrimps. Plus transportation cost, each kilo of spear shrimps would be at least 22 white crystal coins. Therefore, you need to pay us enough advance payment..."
Zhang Tie took a look at Boss Du with a smile as he took out a purse and threw it to Boss Du.
After opening it and catching sight of the s.h.i.+mmering blue crystal coins, Boss Du"s heart raced at a stroke.
"Take it as my advance payment. I accept your quotation. Boss Du, please arrange it now. I want to release them today..."
