However, the Customized Rod for Old Zhang needed some modifications. First, the Trademark had to be enlarged and printed in the most prominent position!
After hanging up the phone with Shi Tian, Old Gao began to calculate. The price for a Rod was Seventy-Two Thousand. Liu Lei had visited Shi Tian's shop before; although he hadn’t ordered a Rod, he must have gathered this information, so there was no way to negotiate further.
However, he certainly wouldn’t let Liu Lei work for free; he had to find a way to extract some profit from this situation! Resolute in his decision, Old Gao finally took the phone away from his ear and walked into the shop with a blank expression.
They had quoted Seventy-Two Thousand for each Customized Rod. I’ve exhausted all my connections, and they only agreed to help me customize one! Glancing at the kitchen knife still on the counter, Old Gao calmly sat at the tea table and took a sip of tea.
Liu Lei was somewhat stunned; Old Gao really could customize a Rod! Had he misjudged Old Gao before?
There was no time to dwell on that now; getting the Customized Rod was the most important thing—everything else was secondary!
“Gao Ge, please help me customize one! I’ll transfer the money to you right now!” Liu Lei said as he pulled out his phone to make the transfer.
The previous ten thousand yuan didn’t matter anymore; in front of the Customized Rod, that amount was nothing.
Seeing Liu Lei about to transfer money, Old Gao pressed down on Liu Lei’s phone: “Xiao Liu! I mentioned last time that I would help you buy those two rods for free, not making a penny off you. I run a business here; we agreed that any future purchases of rods would include a profit margin!”
In this line of work, the profit margin for rods should be set at forty percent. Given our years of friendship, I certainly can’t charge you the same price as ordinary customers. How about this: I’ll only add twenty percent profit. If that works for you, transfer the money now, and I’ll send it over to them right in front of you!
If you think it’s too expensive, you can wait and see. After the New Year, they will release some slots; you can try your luck then! If you manage to get one, you’ll save that twenty percent!
Adding twenty percent means it would come to around fourteen or fifteen thousand. However, looking at Liu Lei’s expression, it was clear that he was determined to get the Customized Rod; this fourteen thousand was likely within his budget!
Old Gao’s words left Liu Lei with a bitter smile. He realized he shouldn’t have come to trouble Old Gao; now he had to shell out over ten thousand more!
Had he known this would happen, he should have come to ask Old Gao for help with the Customized Rod first. After all, he knew the base price and wasn’t afraid of being taken advantage of by Old Gao. Now that things had escalated, it was becoming difficult to handle!
“Gao Ge! How about I arrange something tonight? We can go for a foot massage afterward?”
“I can’t dare join your dinner; my appetite is poor and hard to digest! It’s been over a month and I’m still feeling nauseous!” As soon as Liu Lei spoke up, Old Gao immediately interrupted him.
“You can treat me after you make some money; that’s not an issue. But if you think one meal will get me to give you a discount, then forget it!”
Seeing that Old Gao was unyielding, Liu Lei felt troubled. This guy could be so agreeable until it came to money—then he turned cold and ruthless!
It was tough! Either pay for customization or wait until after the New Year!
After sitting there in distress for quite some time, Liu Lei finally gritted his teeth and decided to pay up! He transferred over eighty thousand yuan, and Old Gao directly sent seventy-two thousand yuan to Shi Tian right in front of Liu Lei.
The money has been transferred, and you watched the account turn; there’s no problem with that! Liu Lei grumbled, while Old Gao squinted his eyes: "Come back in a week to pick up the rod. I’ll call you when it arrives! If not, you can go back to whatever you were doing!"
Liu Lei protested, "I just forked out over eighty thousand. In just a few minutes, I made over ten thousand right in front of me. Now that the money has just gone through, not even a cup of tea to drink?"
After sending Liu Lei away, Old Gao hummed his rendition of the "Empty City Stratagem," sitting behind the counter and tapping his fingers. Once he finished, his phone chimed, and an image came through. It prominently displayed the name of his shop in bold letters, with two small characters at the bottom reading "Liu Lei."
After studying it closely and confirming there were no issues with the image, Old Gao forwarded it to Shi Tian. The customization process for the rod was now complete; all that was left was to wait for delivery!
Sitting at the shop entrance soaking up the sun, Shi Tian occasionally listened to the cheerful laughter of the two girls inside. Shi Tian and Sun Lang didn’t feel lonely at all. However, seeing Bai Tiao being unloaded across the way made Shi Tian's hands itch a bit.
"Sun Lang, how long has it been since we went fishing? Should we head over and cast a few lines?" Shi Tian asked, rubbing his nose and turning to look at Sun Lang.
Upon hearing Shi Tian's suggestion, Sun Lang glanced at Su Xueyi, who was completely disinterested in him. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Let’s go! They’re unloading Bai Tiao over there; we should cast a few lines. It’s been ages since I fished with Old Zhang!"
With that, the two exchanged smiles and turned back into the shop to grab their rods. They loaded up their Fishing Box and Fish Bucket and scooped a net full of Live Shrimp from the tank before heading across.
Setting up their rods, they sat down next to Old Zhang, baited their hooks with Live Shrimp, and began fishing side by side.
Seeing this operation unfold, Old Zhang didn’t lag behind either; he picked up his rod and joined in on the action, leaving Liu Ju and others nearby dumbfounded.
After some effort in getting Bai Tiao delivered to them, Shi Tian remarked sarcastically, "So you’re just here to give us a catch? You old folks!"
Shi Tian used a Customized Rod; his own Iso Rod had been swiped by Yi Laotou. This rod was specifically made for Yi Laotou so he could redeem his precious rod back!
Now that the new rod hadn’t been shipped yet, it was perfect for breaking it in. Otherwise, with Yi Laotou having taken his rod for so many days without any payback, it felt like a loss not to take out some frustration on Yi Laotou's rod.
Suddenly feeling a tug! As information about a bite came through on his rod, Shi Tian let out a soft shout and lifted the rod to hook the fish!
