The Smart Fishing Rod was not displayed as a sample. The Air Force was keeping a close watch on it, and if it were put on the shelves, it would likely be snatched up within an hour.
There were still many people interested in the Golden Gun Fishing Spot shared by the old man, but the tips were quite meager. Wang Ergou had given a tip, but by the time he arrived by boat, the old man and his group had already changed fishing spots, so they didn’t encounter each other at sea.
They had only sold a few rods internally and hadn’t officially launched sales yet! As fellow members of Diao Jiao, shouldn’t we at least have preferential purchasing rights? Wang Ergou asked, clearly interested in the rod.
“Alright, give me one. What’s the price for the Smart Rod? I’ll transfer the money to you!” He pulled out his phone and began to operate the transfer.
“The rod is ten thousand. You can use the previous wheel and line! What size do you need? For fish under a hundred pounds, that size will be sufficient!”
“Also give me a wheel! Can we still choose the model? I want one that’s lighter! If we can choose models, why wait? Let’s get one now; the previous one can be considered retired!”
It wouldn’t be accurate to say retired; it could still be used in Xisha or when he goes abroad with Oka someday.
These two were winners from the New Year’s event—Sailfish and Mahi Mahi! They thought my rod was great and came over to check it out! After completing the transfer to Shi Tian, Wang Ergou turned to introduce them.
If it were an ordinary winner, he wouldn’t bother introducing them, but since both of them used newly acquired rods, they were worth mentioning because they truly had purchasing power!
A newly acquired Iron Plate Rod starts at twenty to thirty thousand; those who can afford that price for a rod are not only fishing enthusiasts but also have real financial means!
Sailfish and Mahi Mahi? Their ambitions were quite grand. However, catching these fish requires either going abroad or drifting slowly domestically; with enough time spent drifting, they would eventually encounter some crowds!
“Boss, do you have any samples of the Smart Fishing Rod? Can I take a look at it?” After greeting him, Sailfish smiled slightly and asked.
Wang Ergou had just transferred nearly two hundred thousand; their financial power made their eyes widen. They weren’t familiar with Shi Tian, yet spending nearly two hundred thousand on a rod made them feel somewhat uncertain.
Currently, there were no sample rods available in the store; they had sold one previously. “It’s meal time; I’ll treat everyone to dinner across the street. Later, I’ll bring over the old man’s Smart Rod for you to see.”
Watching Sun Lang lead them to dinner across the street, Shi Tian planned to quickly create a custom Boat Rod as a sample for the store. However, Shui Bi Zhang showed no signs of leaving.
As everyone left, Shui Bi Zhang approached Shi Tian and said, “Tian Ge, could you get me some floats? Just these ordinary floats—could you print some commemorative words on them? I just took office as Tianya Xiangzhu and want to organize an event and buy some souvenirs for them!”
Souvenir floats? He was familiar with this business! He had done plenty for the Chou Tiao competition before—not only printing on float packaging but also directly on floats themselves; he just hadn’t seen anyone use them before!
“Sure! That’s easy. Design a pattern and send it to me; I’ll have someone make it for you—max one day’s time!” To quickly send Shui Bi Zhang on his way, Shi Tian readily agreed.
“Alright, I’ll have Su Xueyi help me design the pattern; he’s good at that! How will you price it? The event budget is limited since it comes from selling fish; we should save wherever possible.”
“If you order in bulk, it’ll be priced like ordinary floats. Just let me know in advance so I can have someone make them for you.”
As soon as Shi Tian finished speaking, Wang Ergou quietly slipped back into the store.
As soon as Wang Ergou got ashore, Sun Lang called him, asking him to become the Yaizhou Incense Master. Compared to Yazhou, Haitang District was closer and more familiar to him.
Wang Ergou wanted to discuss Haitang District with Xia Shou, but when Sun Lang mentioned the gas field being assigned to Yazhou District, Wang Ergou immediately changed his mind and took on the role of Yaizhou Incense Master. His main battlefield was set!
"Lao Shui, when is your district planning an event? What kind of event? It wouldn't be an assault on Ji Yang, would it?" Shi Tian had promised to help Wang Ergou customize a Float, but the two had no intention of leaving and instead started a summit meeting right there.
"Maybe in a couple of days! The event hasn’t been finalized yet; we’re still researching!" Wang Ergou leaned in to ask, while Shui Bi Zhang instinctively felt wary. This guy was from the Sea Fishing Gang and had come over with Tan. If he leaked any information to Wang Ergou, Tan would probably find out in no time!
"Still researching? Perfect! How about we collaborate and take action against Tan together?"
"We're familiar with this Fishing Spot; we know where the fish are, where to set up Fishing Spots, and what length of Rod to use. We can handle this. Once we announce it on Social Media, we can come directly to Ji Yang and sweep through. We could easily take down Tan!"
Wang Ergou's suggestion left Shui Bi Zhang stunned. "Aren't you guys supposed to be close allies? Why are you suddenly turning against him? That’s a bit scary!" However, he liked the idea. Once they took action, there would hardly be any Ji Yang flags left on the map!
"Let’s find a secluded place to discuss this properly. I think it’s feasible! There are fewer flags here in Ji Yang; let them occupy unflagged areas while we take the flagged ones. I believe we can do it!"
Watching the two scheming as they left, Shi Tian felt a pang of worry for Tan. This was reckless! If these two played their cards right, they might really clean out this area!
But perhaps it was for the best; if they kept playing like this, the sales of Rods in the store would go up. Ever since Tan initiated Occupy Tianya, sales had increased significantly over the past few days, especially with many Fishing Buddies coming from Tianya District!
Let them stir things up for now! Once they reached a three-way stalemate and started attacking Haitang, he could appoint a new Xiang Zhu for Haitang. By then, Sanya would be fully organized!
